Chapter 3: One-Finger Instant Kill!

The moment the words fell, a figure darted over from afar.

So fast was the speed that, before anyone noticed, he had already landed steadily beside Lin Hai.

The newcomer was none other than the Lin Family Patriarch—Lin Feng!

He stood tall and straight, his blue robe billowing without any wind.

The sudden turn of events brought the already taut, standoff-like atmosphere to a brief halt.

"Clan Leader!"

The Lin Family members were stunned at first, then erupted in deafening cheers, hope blazing in their eyes.

However, that joy lasted only an instant before being replaced by deep worry.

Now, the Clan Leader's dantian was already shattered.

Even if he showed up, what could he possibly change?

"Trash, you're not lying in bed waiting to die, and you still dare come out and embarrass yourself?" Qin Shan was the first to react, his face full of mockery as he spoke.

"Exactly, a cripple is all he is, and he still dares to throw his weight around in front of us—truly overestimating himself!" Wang Family Clan Leader Wang Yunfei said with utter contempt.

"Lin Feng, your dantian is already shattered. Today is the day you die. Why not surrender now—what are you waiting for?" Yang Family Clan Leader Yang Mingxuan shouted coldly.

Facing the mockery of the three Great Families' Clan Leaders, Lin Feng's expression remained unchanged as his gaze swept over the three.

"Have the three of you grown tired of living?"

Lin Feng's voice was not loud, yet it exploded like a thunderclap beside everyone's ears, making their eardrums ache.

"Lin Feng, I think it's you who's grown tired of living!"

Song He gave a cold shout, his figure flashed, and he charged straight at Lin Feng.

Once Lin Feng was dead, he could earn Qin Shan's favor and become a true man of standing in Ziyun City.

The long saber, wrapped in the howl of wind, drove straight toward Lin Feng's throat.

Before the blade arrived, the bone-chilling killing intent already made the Lin Family members cry out in alarm: "Clan Leader, look out!"

Yet, facing Song He's fierce attack, Lin Feng neither dodged nor evaded, merely slowly extending one finger—seeming slow but in truth lightning fast—pointing it at his opponent.

"Traitor! I saved you back then in vain. Today I shall take back your dog's life, to uphold the clan rules!"

"Hmph! Daydreaming!"

A flash of contempt crossed Song He's eyes.

But the next moment, his smile froze on his face.

The clash of metal rang out sharply, and visible ripples of force spread in all directions from where the two met.

"Bang!"

Song He's body burst apart like a watermelon, red and white splattering all over the people around him.

"Hiss!"

Seeing this, everyone present drew a sharp breath, their eyes filled with utter disbelief.

One finger!

Just one finger, and he had instantly killed Song He, who possessed Martial Dan Realm Second Layer cultivation!

How terrifying was such strength!

"Clan Leader… your dantian…"

Lin Hai asked in a trembling voice, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Heh, who said my dantian was shattered?"

Lin Feng gave a cold laugh, and a powerful aura slowly spread out from within him.

Martial Dan Realm Ninth Layer Peak!

"This… how is this possible?!"

Qin Shan and the others' faces changed drastically, their eyes filled with horror.

"Impossible! Your dantian clearly already…"

Song He's gruesome fate was still fresh in their minds. Qin Shan and the others could not believe that Lin Feng's dantian was actually perfectly intact!

"Hmph!"

Lin Feng gave a cold snort, his gaze swept over Qin Shan and the others like a blade, and he said coldly: "In today's matter, who is the mastermind?!"

Feeling Lin Feng's piercing gaze, Qin Shan and the others were instantly scared out of their wits, cold sweat instantly soaking through their backs.

Among the three of them, the strongest in cultivation was Qin Shan at Martial Dan Sixth Layer.

Even if the three of them joined forces, they would absolutely not be Lin Feng's match!

"Lin Clan Leader, this was all that old dog Qin Shan's idea!"

Wang Yunfei, unable to bear the pressure, broke down first, pointing at Qin Shan and shouting at the top of his lungs: "Our two families were also forced into it with no choice! The Qin Family is too powerful—if we didn't comply, he would have wiped out our entire clans!"

Yang Mingxuan also wore a mournful face, nodding again and again.

His tone was even more aggrieved than Wang Yunfei's: "Yes! Lin Clan Leader, we were blinded by greed, and in a moment of foolishness agreed to Qin Shan. You must believe us!"

This excuse was so poorly acted that even some of the Lin Family's younger generation couldn't help but snicker.

"Bullshit!"

Qin Shan was furious: "Back then it was clearly you two who took the initiative, saying we should join forces against the Lin Family and divide up the Lin Family's assets. I merely went along with it!"

"And now, you two bastards actually want to push all the blame onto me alone—have you no shame left at all!"

"You! Don't you talk nonsense!"

"You're the one talking nonsense!"

"…"

The three argued endlessly, accusing one another, none willing to admit being the mastermind.

The clan members behind the three of them had long since been stunned speechless.

They had never imagined things would develop to such a state.

And it was extremely disadvantageous to the Three Great Families.

At this moment, Lin Feng stood to the side watching coldly, a mocking smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

These three old foxes, who usually colluded with each other, now that disaster struck, each flew off on their own.

Absolutely laughable!

"Oh? So you're saying you're the victims?" Lin Feng mocked.

"Exactly, exactly, we were forced into it too!"

Wang Yunfei and Yang Mingxuan nodded repeatedly, almost swearing an oath to the heavens.

Lin Feng gave a light snort: "If that's the case, then show some sincerity!"

Yang Mingxuan and Wang Yunfei's eyes rolled about, exchanging glances, conducting a silent exchange.

In the end, the two simultaneously pointed at Qin Shan, looking just like two startled rabbits who had found a life-saving straw.

"Qin Shan, you old bastard, today's disaster is all your doing, give your life!"

Wang Yunfei roared, sending a palm strike straight at Qin Shan's crown.

The palm wind howled — it was a furious strike, holding nothing back.

Yang Mingxuan was not to be outdone either, his long sword transforming into a silver flash, stabbing straight at Qin Shan's heart.

Qin Shan never expected these two old foxes would suddenly turn on him.

Caught off guard, he could only block in a fluster.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three figures fought as one, energy scattering, sand and stones flying.

The already battered Lin Family Ancestral Land was now ravaged beyond recognition.

Lin Feng stood with his hands behind his back, watching this farce with an indifferent expression.

The Lin Family clan members, seeing this, cried out in even greater shock, utterly caught off guard.

In the field, Qin Shan was, after all, a Martial Dan Realm Sixth Layer expert.

Although caught off guard by Wang Yunfei and Yang Mingxuan's joint sneak attack,

he quickly steadied himself, and the two sides fought to a stalemate, neither able to overcome the other for the moment.

"Kill! Kill that old dog Qin Shan!"

The clan members of the Wang and Yang Families, seeing this, also joined the fray one after another.

The Qin Family clan members naturally refused to be outdone and charged in.

In an instant, battle cries shook the heavens, blades and swords flashed, blood and flesh flew — the scene was utterly gruesome.

At this moment, Elder Lin Hai, supported by clan members, limped forward and, seeing this heartening scene, couldn't help but let out a few chuckles.

Lin Feng, seeing this, hurriedly tossed a pill over for Lin Hai to take.

After Lin Hai swallowed it, he instantly felt his severely wounded dantian being repaired at an extremely rapid pace — warm and mellow.

He couldn't help but widen his eyes, trembling as he said: "Clan Leader... this is far too precious..."

Lin Feng waved his hand: "You are the Elder of my Lin Family, it is fitting."

As he spoke, the battle in the field was also gradually drawing to a close.

With the Wang and Yang Families joining forces, and the Lin Family clan members watching like tigers, the Qin Family clan members retreated step by step.

In the end, not one in ten survived — the losses were devastating.

And Qin Shan himself was captured by Wang Yunfei and Yang Mingxuan working together, bound tightly and dragged before Lin Feng.
