Chapter 15: A Truly Singular Hegemon

Shameless wretches who don't know when to take a face. Earlier he had worried they might actually agree to handing over ninety percent of their profits, in which case it would have been hard for Lin Feng to open his mouth and drive these two families away.

He hadn't expected Yang Mingxuan and Wang Yunfei to actually run straight into the barrel of a gun.

This suited Lin Feng's intentions perfectly.

Even if the Leiling Yang Family truly was willing to stand up for Yang Mingxuan, so what?

Could they possibly arrive right now?

No one could say what the future held. Yang Mingxuan tried to intimidate people with the Leiling Yang Family, who were far away where the Emperor's reach was long, but Lin Feng wouldn't buy that act.

Yang Mingxuan's pupils contracted sharply. He raged, "You want all the assets of our two families? That's confiscation! Why don't you just go rob us?"

"It is confiscation, it is outright robbery. Was this Clan Leader's word not clear enough?"

Lin Feng raised his head and added, "What? You have an objection?"

"Bastard, Lin Feng, you won't come to a good end…"

Yang Mingxuan let out a furious roar. He had assumed that invoking the name of the Leiling Yang Family would intimidate Lin Feng, but now it was clear the man wasn't afraid at all.

"Do you really think that just because you possess Wudao Realm cultivation, you're invincible under heaven?"

"Your Lin Family is nothing but a nouveau riche. If I call the Main Family, they will definitely trample your entire clan!"

"Don't blame me for not warning you when that day comes!"

After saying this, Yang Mingxuan saw Lin Feng step forward, his palm wrapped in a gust of swift wind, and lash viciously toward his face.

"You still dare to threaten me?"

Without another word, Lin Feng delivered a slap across his face.

With a sharp crack, a spurt of fresh blood flew from Yang Mingxuan's mouth.

He had assumed that invoking the name of the Leiling Yang Family would let him firmly suppress the Lin Family.

He hadn't expected Lin Feng to be so unyielding.

"Clan Leader, let's go to Leiling Province. We must bring in strong cultivators from the Main Family and teach the Lin Family a proper lesson!"

"Truly outrageous. Your Lin Family is really something!"

The Yang Family's people were wildly agitated and rushed forward one after another to shield Yang Mingxuan.

Seeing this, Lin Hai also stood at Lin Feng's side.

He and Lin Ya stood on the left and right, and in terms of presence they were not the least bit outmatched.

But as the Elder of the Lin Family, Lin Hai always had to consider the family's interests. He quietly reminded, "Clan Leader, the Yang Family people cannot be killed."

"Just drive them away. Even if they really are a Branch Family of the Yang Family, the people of Leiling Province won't travel a thousand miles for such a trivial matter to come take revenge."

A glint of shrewd wisdom flickered in Lin Hai's aged eyes.

The families of Leiling Province were colossal powers; they would never make a big fuss over a branch family.

Lin Feng nodded, then sneered, "This Clan Leader is in a good mood today, so the matter is settled as such."

"Today, get out of Ziyun City. If you're unwilling, this Clan Leader doesn't mind leaving all of you here. Wiping out your two families would be a trivial matter."

Lin Feng stood with his hands clasped behind his back, no longer interested in bickering with Yang Mingxuan.

From now on, Ziyun City could only have one family standing supreme, and that was the Lin Family.

All other families must either submit or perish.

How could one allow others to sleep soundly beside one's own bed?

"Good! Very good!"

"If this Ziyun City won't have my Yang Family, then so be it!"

Yang Mingxuan gritted his teeth and rose to his feet: "But Lin Feng, don't forget—today's cause, tomorrow's fruit. Although your Lin Family has you, one Wudao Realm cultivator, you absolutely cannot withstand the assault of five or ten Wudao Realm cultivators!"

"Did I say you could get up?"

Lin Feng stretched out his palm and pressed it heavily onto Yang Mingxuan's shoulder.

With a thud, Yang Mingxuan was forcibly shoved to the ground, his knees striking the floor hard and smashing out a crater.

He cried out in pain, terror rising in his eyes.

Was Lin Feng going to kill him today?

"Lin Feng, what do you mean!"

"Release our Clan Leader. My Yang Family has the Leiling Yang Family behind it. If you dare lay a hand on a Yang Family member, from now on you will definitely—"

The people Yang Mingxuan had brought forced down their fear and stepped forward one after another.

However, Lin Feng still refused to yield an inch.

He delivered a slap across Yang Mingxuan's face, then sneered, "I've laid a hand on a Yang Family member. What are you going to do about it?"

The crisp sound of the slap echoed throughout the Front Hall.

Every member of the Yang Family nervously gulped.

Just then, the Lin Family clansmen who had been hunting down the remnants of the Qin Family throughout Ziyun City returned. Their bodies were stained with fresh blood, and they radiated killing intent.

"Clan Leader, what's going on?"

"Do you need our help?"

"Heh, the Qin Family people weren't much fun to kill—gone in an instant. Should we take the chance and wipe out the Wang and Yang families too?"

Seeing Lin Feng pin Yang Mingxuan down, the Lin Family clansmen burst into laughter.

The Yang Family crowd trembled in fear.

Were they going to die here today?

Lin Hai and Lin Ya both raised their brows slightly. Now was actually not the time for more killing.

Trampling the Qin Family had already achieved the effect of warning the tiger by killing the monkey. The Wang and Yang families couldn't possibly stay on either.

They ultimately had only one choice: to slink away in disgrace.

Adding more killing would only give outsiders cause to condemn the Lin Family.

Lin Feng had no intention of killing Yang Mingxuan. He simply waved his hand, signaling the Lin Family people to step aside.

"The Qin Family has already been wiped out. The Lin Family does not wish to add more killing. You Wang and Yang families — move out of Ziyun City immediately!"

"Furthermore, you are not allowed to take anything with you. The people can scram, but everything stays behind."

"This Clan Leader's words — do you understand them clearly?"

Lin Feng's cold voice fell into Yang Mingxuan's ears, making him tremble all over and involuntarily shudder.

So long as he dared say half a word of refusal, Lin Feng truly wouldn't mind killing him.

"Un... understood." Yang Mingxuan nodded in panic, like a chick pecking at grain.

The Yang Family people behind him all turned pale. That Leiling Yang Family they had been counting on could not save them now.

"Mm, those who know the times are heroes. Since that's the case, I'll spare your life." Lin Feng curled the corner of his mouth and smiled.

Yang Mingxuan scrambled to his feet. A flash of deep wariness, mingled with thick hatred, passed through his eyes.

Today's matter is not over!

Just as the Yang Family people were preparing to leave, Lin Feng's voice rang out again: "Don't be in such a hurry to go!"

"You were disrespectful to this Clan Leader earlier — you must be punished!"

As Lin Feng's words fell, he gripped the Tianhong Sword, and with a wave of his hand, Sword Qi swept out like a rainbow.

In the span of a single blink, Yang Mingxuan's left arm was severed.

Blood gushed wildly, causing everyone present to sharply draw in a breath of cold air.

"Ah!"

Yang Mingxuan cried out in agony, staring at the wound on his arm in disbelief.

At this moment his face was bloodless, and only panic remained in his heart.

The punishment Lin Feng spoke of was actually severing one of his arms!

This was simply a supreme humiliation!

"Clan Leader!"

"Lin Feng, you dare—"

The Yang Family people flew into a rage and were about to charge forward, but they saw the Lin Family people step forward one after another.

Anyone who dares move — dies!

Under such circumstances, no one dared act rashly.

Yang Mingxuan had even had his arm chopped off; the Yang Family people no longer had any of their earlier arrogance.

On this visit, the Wang Family Clan Leader was beaten into unconsciousness, and the Yang Family Clan Leader had his arm severed — truly losing the wife and the soldiers as well!

"You can scram now!"

Lin Feng sheathed the Tianhong Sword, his expression as calm as still water.

"Many thanks to the Lin Clan Leader for the mercy of not killing!"

Yang Mingxuan gathered up his severed arm and turned to leave.

But unexpectedly, Lin Feng's voice rang out once more: "Don't forget to take this Wang Family trash with you!"
