Chapter 154: I'm Going to the Su Family!

~7 min read 1,230 words

Jiang Feng walked out slowly, his gaze sweeping over the two people in the alley, his tone flat.

"I'm just passing by; your business doesn't interest me."

He has no friendship with Lu Xiao, so he has no reason to clash with her and the two Master-level Experts.

However, his concession did not earn the other's gratitude.

One of the Grandmasters, Zhou Tianguang, eyed Jiang Feng with a sinister glare.

He turned his head and whispered to his short, stout companion Yang Tong.

"Being a member of the Kill Dragon Group is a serious matter; not a single rumor may leak. Since this kid saw it, he cannot be left alive."

Yang Tong grinned, showing a set of yellow teeth, his eyes full of ferocity.

"Brother Zhou is right. This kid's luck is bad; he ran into our business, and can only blame his thin fate."

While the two talked, murderous aura openly locked onto Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng heard the words, his brows slightly raised, the smile on his face fading a bit.

"I've already said I don't want to meddle in your affairs; why must you go to extremes?"

"Who let you see what you shouldn't have, kid? When you reach the Underworld, tell the King of Hell that it was Grandmaster Yang Tong who killed you!"

Yang Tong let out a cold laugh, his foot stamping hard, and the broken stones on the ground were shaken into a spray.

He lunged toward Jiang Feng like an arrow, fists clenched, carrying a whistling gust, aiming straight for Jiang Feng's face.

However, facing this massive, heavy punch, Jiang Feng showed no hint of panic on his face.

He shifted his body slightly, appearing slow, yet perfectly dodged Yang Tong's fist.

At the same time, his right hand shot out like lightning, a palm landing on Yang Tong's chest.

"Boom!"

A deep, muffled roar.

Yang Tong's grin froze instantly, his eyes filled with incredulous terror.

He felt an unrivaled, domineering force surge from his chest into his body, instantly destroying his internal organs.

His body flew uncontrollably outward, crashing heavily against the alley wall, emitting a muffled thud.

The bricks and stones on the wall shattered in response, Yang Tong slid slowly to the ground, his chest visibly caved in, his breath cutting off instantly.

The whole process lasted only a heartbeat; a Master-level Expert had already met his end in the Yellow Springs.

The alley instantly fell into dead silence.

Zhou Tianguang's eyes widened as he stared at Yang Tong's corpse on the ground, his whole blood seeming to freeze at that moment.

The ferocity on his face was replaced by extreme fear, his legs trembling uncontrollably.

He could never have imagined that this seemingly ordinary young man possessed such terrifying power!

One palm—just one palm—killed Grandmaster Yang Tong!

Such strength far exceeds his understanding!

"You... who exactly are you?"

Zhou Tianguang's voice trembled, his eyes filled with awe and fear.

Jiang Feng gave no answer, merely turning his head slowly toward him, his gaze calm and still, yet making Zhou Tianguang feel a deadly pressure, as if a primordial beast were staring at him.

"No... I don't want to die!"

Zhou Tianguang recovered, no longer able to care about anything else, and turned to sprint wildly toward the other end of the alley.

He exerted all his strength, pushing his Inner Force to the limit, only thinking of escaping as quickly as possible.

Jiang Feng watched his frantic fleeing silhouette, gently shaking his head, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness.

"I already said I don't want to kill; you forced me."

Before the words finished, he raised his right hand and lightly tapped his index finger.

A faint Golden True Qi shot from his fingertip, instantly catching up with the sprinting Zhou Tianguang, striking precisely at his back chest.

Zhou Tianguang's running form abruptly halted.

He looked down at his chest; a tiny blood hole was slowly oozing blood.

He could feel his Inner Force collapsing instantly, life force draining rapidly, darkness flashing before his eyes.

Zhou Tianguang fell heavily to the ground, his body convulsing a few times, then fell completely still.

Having dealt with the two, Jiang Feng withdrew his gaze and walked to Lu Xiao's side.

At this moment, Lu Xiao was completely unconscious, her breath weak, looking extremely critical.

"Consider yourself lucky. Since we met, I'll save your life."

He reached out, gently lifting Lu Xiao by the waist.

Circulating his Inner Force, a gentle Golden True Qi surged into Lu Xiao's body, temporarily stabilizing her injuries and stopping further blood loss.

Then, carrying Lu Xiao, he turned and walked out of the alley toward the nearby hospital.

In her semi-conscious state, Lu Xiao vaguely felt a warm embrace around her, a gentle force on her back easing much of her intense pain.

She tried to open her eyes to see who held her, but her eyelids were as heavy as a thousand pounds, her consciousness sinking like a bottomless abyss, ultimately plunging into deep sleep.

……

The next morning, in the VIP Ward of Jiangcheng First People's Hospital.

Lu Xiao slowly opened her eyes, greeted by a white ceiling.

She wiggled her fingers, feeling her whole body still a bit weak.

"Leader, you're awake!"

A delighted voice sounded. Lu Xiao turned her head.

There, Shao Jinpeng and several members of the Dragon Group stood around the bedside, their faces full of concern.

"I… I'm still alive?"

Lu Xiao's voice was a bit hoarse.

She remembered being surrounded by two Master-level Experts, suffering a severe Injury, and when her Awareness was in Obscurity, someone seemed to have saved her.

"Yeah, Group Leader, as long as you're okay!"

Shao Jinpeng quickly said.

"We received a call from the hospital saying you were taken there, the Injury was severe, and we were almost scared to death!"

Lu Xiao quickly asked, "Who brought me here? Where is the other person?"

She vaguely remembered that a man had saved her.

But her Injury was so severe at the time that she had no recollection at all.

Shao Jinpeng shook his head, a hint of helplessness appearing on his face.

"We don't know either. The hospital nurse said the person who brought you over was a young man, and he left no contact information."

The other several Dragon Group members also nodded.

They had already investigated the hospital's surveillance, but that person deliberately avoided the blind spots, only a back figure in Obscurity was captured, making it impossible to discern the face.

Lu Xiao's brows slightly furrowed, her heart filled with doubt.

Who exactly was the person who saved her?

Why did he leave silently after saving her?

She carefully recalled the scene, only remembering that domineering true Qi.

Just as Lu Xiao's thoughts were in disarray, Shao Jinpeng seemed to recall something.

"Group Leader, there's another matter to report. According to our investigation, Ling Zhaixing had previously appeared at Su Family Villa."

"Ling Zhaixing at Su Family?"

Lu Xiao's gaze instantly became sharp.

Since that night, they have completely lost Ling Zhaixing's trail for several days.

She was also, in order to investigate Ling Zhaixing's whereabouts, that those two men in black found the chance to isolate her and pursue her.

Lu Xiao struggled, trying to sit up.

"Immediately prepare a vehicle, I'm going to Su Family!"
