Chapter 32: Slaying Ji Bo!

"Master Gu Dan speaks wisely. For anyone in the Lin Family to be taken in as your disciple is a blessing three lifetimes in the making."

Shen Ao fawned with a couple of compliments, but his envy was genuine.

This Master Gu Dan came from Xuntian Sect and was a Four-Star Alchemist — his status was extremely high.

Moreover, this man was on good terms with the State Governor of Leiling Province. The moment he arrived in Ziyun City, Shen Ao, as City Lord, personally received him.

After making careful inquiries, he learned that Gu Dan had actually come for one person in the Lin Family.

"May I ask the name of the person Master Gu Dan has taken an interest in? Once the Lin Family is nearly wiped out, I'll have an easier time searching." Shen Ao asked with a smile.

"This old man only knows his name is Lin Yan. This person's dantian was damaged, so when I first saw him, I did not take him away."

"Now I have found a method to repair the dantian, which is why I've come to take a disciple." Master Gu Dan said calmly.

When he was wandering the world, he had seen Lin Yan once at the Lin Family Ancestral Hall. Even then, he had determined that Lin Yan had the talent of an Alchemist.

Now that he had returned, he was here to pluck the fruit.

"Good. Then we shall wait for good news." Shen Ao curled his lips, hands clasped behind his back.

At this moment, the onlookers at the Lin Family's main gate had blocked the street so tightly that not a drop of water could seep through.

The Lin Family had risen far too quickly during this period, drawing attention from all sides.

They had each sent scouts, hidden in Ziyun City to monitor the Lin Family. Now, at last, the moment had come.

It just so happened that the Zhou Family had come to kill — they could get a clear look at what was going on.

Zhou Tong's face twisted viciously. He raised his head and looked at Lin Feng: "Boy, I'm going to kill you today. Do you have any last words?"

But Lin Feng did not reply. Facing a man like this, saying a single extra word would be a waste of breath.

His gaze was like a sword as he slowly descended the steps.

Then he pressed two fingers together, and a wisp of Spirit Qi leapt forth.

It carried the power of the Wudao Realm. With Lin Feng's finger-point, the Spirit Qi shot straight toward Ji Bo.

"What?!"

Ji Bo had never imagined he would be the first one cut down.

He hurriedly grabbed a member of the Zhou Family and used him to block the strike.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, that Zhou Family member exploded apart, blood spraying in all directions.

Zhou Tong's eyes nearly split with rage. He hadn't even made a move, yet Lin Feng had already started a killing spree?

"Boy, you're courting death!" Zhou Tong roared. The robes on his body were whipped up by Spirit Qi.

"Zhou Family Ancestor, has water gotten into your brain? It was clearly Ji Bo who killed your man — why are you blaming our Clan Leader?" Lin Zhengshang said with a look of contempt.

Ji Bo flew into a rage at the words: "Setting aside the facts, isn't Lin Feng the chief culprit?"

The moment his words fell, Lin Feng strode forward and seized Ji Bo by the collar.

"Slap!"

A palm struck out, this time landing solidly across Ji Bo's face.

"Lin Feng, you'd dare strike me in front of my Senior Brother?" A bright red palm print bloomed on Ji Bo's face. He spoke in utter disbelief.

"That's exactly who I'm hitting!"

Lin Feng couldn't care less — another slap came whistling across.

Letting Ji Bo go last time had truly been a mistake. This fellow had stirred up trouble again. In the future, when encountering people like this, he absolutely could not let them walk away.

"Senior Brother Zhou, save… save me."

He watched Ji Bo beg him for help, but Zhou Tong remained unmoved.

Though Zhou Tong said nothing about Ji Bo causing the death of the Zhou Family's disciple, he was deeply displeased.

"Bastard!" Seeing this, Ji Bo's face changed drastically.

He gritted his teeth and dropped to his knees with a thud.

This stunned everyone watching.

"Lin… Lin Clan Leader, I was bewitched. I was once again incited by the Zhou Family, that's why I…" Before Ji Bo could finish, Lin Feng had already struck.

Spirit Qi, like a dragon, pierced straight through Ji Bo's chest.

"I don't care for the sort of man who kneels and begs for mercy." Lin Feng's tone was cold. A Qingyun Sect Tudi — kill him if he must be killed.

In an instant, the watching crowd collectively drew a sharp breath.

"Has the Lin Family gone mad?"

"Ji Bo is a Qingyun Sect Tudi — a beating would have been enough!"

"Killing a Qingyun Sect Tudi is courting death!"

Lin Feng paid no heed to the noisy chatter around him. He walked straight up to Zhou Tong.

At this moment, Zhou Tong's face was flushed red. He had not expected Lin Feng to dare strike a fatal blow.

"You madman — do you know what you've done?" Zhou Tong roared furiously.

Ji Bo was the one he had brought. If Qingyun Sect called him to account, he wouldn't escape either.

"Old thing, I had originally planned to make a trip to Liuhuo City myself and wipe out your Zhou Family."

"I didn't expect you'd come deliver your own death."

Lin Feng gave a cold smile, a glint of icy light flashing in his eyes.

He gave Zhou Tong no chance to react. Two fingers flicked, and a wisp of Spirit Qi rippled through the air — like a pebble striking water, sending out ring after ring of ripples.

Zhou Tong's pupils contracted. He scrambled to defend himself.

But it was already too late. Struck by that Spirit Qi, he immediately spat blood and crashed heavily to the ground.

"What? What kind of technique is this?"

Zhou Tong's eyes were full of disbelief, and the Zhou Family members behind him were even more shocked.

"Ancestor!"

The Zhou Family members were about to step forward, but they saw Lin Feng reach out and pull with his hand.

The Seven-Star Spiritual Treasure: Tianhong Sword appeared in his hand. He struck out with a single slash, seemingly casual, like an autumn breeze sweeping away fallen leaves.

But those Zhou Family clan members all collapsed one by one, a red line appearing on each of their necks.

"Is this the Clan Leader's strength?"

Lin Yan stood at the main gate, witnessing Lin Feng's methods with his own eyes, his heart surging.

The onlookers were filled with fear and couldn't help but retreat.

No wonder the Lin Family could wipe out the Three Great Families of Ziyun City. With a powerhouse like Lin Feng, who could be his opponent?

"No!"

Zhou Tong's eyes were blood-red, and his entire aura withered.

He hadn't expected Lin Feng to already be this powerful. His judgment just now was wrong—Lin Feng wasn't at the Enlightenment Realm Second Layer; he was probably at the Third Layer of cultivation!

And he also had a Spirit Treasure in his hand, and its grade was absolutely not low.

"So this is the Zhou Family? They're nothing special!"

Lin Feng sneered, and that smile was especially chilling.

Previously wiping out the Qin Family and driving away the Wang and Yang Families wasn't enough to intimidate the petty figures around.

Then today, wiping out the Zhou Family means no one will dare come to Ziyun City to provoke them again.

Dignity is earned with fists!

"Lin Feng, don't be so arrogant!"

Zhou Tong was furious. He was seen pulling a Wooden Box from his Storage Bag, and upon opening it, a streak of rainbow light burst forth.

Inside was actually a Pill.

Zhou Tong opened his mouth and swallowed the Pill. His originally listless aura began to surge rapidly.

At the same time, his cultivation rose steadily.

Gradually, Zhou Tong's face became covered in bulging veins, his features hideous and terrifying.

"My Zhou Family spent a fortune to purchase a Seven-Star Chiyi Duotian Pill from the Far Ocean Trading House, originally intending to use it at the Hundred Clans Assembly. But today, you forced my hand!"

As he spoke, Zhou Tong's cultivation had already surged to the Enlightenment Realm Fourth Layer.

The Spirit Qi around his body even transformed into crimson flames.

The raging fire made everyone's heart jump.

"Hahaha! Now I am at the Enlightenment Realm Fourth Layer. Let's see how you can still be arrogant!" Zhou Tong laughed ferociously and roared.

"Chiyi Duotian Pill!"

"The Zhou Family actually purchased this thing!"

"Now Lin Feng is in trouble."

The crowd buzzed with discussion, but Lin Feng was not afraid in the slightest. He was seen holding the Tianhong Sword, and his aura was instantly released.

"Who here isn't at the Enlightenment Realm Fourth Layer of cultivation!"
