Chapter 39: One Sword to Sweep Them All

"Clan Leader, it's them!"

Lin Ya's eyes were full of fury as he pointed at the steward beside the purple-robed youth.

Seeing this, Lin Feng said nothing further. Gripping the Tianhong Sword, he stepped forward.

"Who are you? Don't you know the Pingtian Trading Guild has already sealed the mountain?" the purple-robed youth said coldly.

The only response he received was a single sword strike!

Lin Feng flicked his wrist, and a wisp of Sword Qi shot out in a flash, piercing the purple-robed youth's shoulder in the blink of an eye.

"Ah!"

Before the purple-robed youth could react, he looked at his shoulder and saw a hideous, terrifying bloody hole!

"How dare you!"

Steward Wang's gaze was sinister. To strike the Third Young Master right in front of him?

As Steward Wang took a step forward, a surge of dense Spirit Qi rose from his body. The aura made the surrounding leaves rustle, and the swaying grass was pressed flat against the ground.

Lin Ya clenched his teeth. Steward Wang was actually at the Enlightenment Realm Second Layer.

Such pressure was something Lin Ya could not resist.

Lin Feng waved his hand lightly, and Lin Ya felt the weight on his shoulders ease—the pressure was dispelled.

"Enlightenment Realm Second Layer—no wonder he could beat the Elder like that."

Lin Feng let out a cold laugh. He had come for revenge. Whoever injured Lin Hai would die!

Lin Feng swung his sword, and the whistling Sword Qi reached them in the blink of an eye.

Steward Wang was greatly shocked and retreated rapidly.

"Who exactly are you!"

After barely dodging the strike, Steward Wang's heart pounded wildly as he cried out in alarm.

"The man who will take your life!"

Lin Feng's gaze was icy, his voice chilling. In the next instant, he appeared behind Steward Wang.

The Tianhong Sword pierced through Steward Wang's chest, blood gushing out.

"What!"

The purple-robed youth stared in disbelief, looking over in utter shock.

Steward Wang was the Pingtian Trading Guild's person in charge, his most capable aide—and now he had been slain with ease.

"All of you, get him! Kill him!"

"How dare you kill a man of my Pingtian Trading Guild—seeking death!"

The youth flew into a rage and shouted. The surrounding men surged forward one after another, but they were nothing more than ants.

Lin Feng drew out the Tianhong Sword, kicked Steward Wang over, and pinned his head beneath his foot.

Then he swept his sword out in a horizontal slash.

Sword Qi of the Enlightenment Realm Fourth Layer instantly swept across the entire field.

"Not good!"

A sudden cry of alarm rang out, and a middle-aged man descended from the sky, planting himself directly in front of the purple-robed youth.

In the next instant, a blue light shield appeared in his hand, blocking the Sword Qi.

As for the rest, they were all swept away by the Sword Qi.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

On Thatched Cottage Mountain, every tree within a radius of one li collapsed, all cut clean through at the waist.

And on the men of the Pingtian Trading Guild, a red line appeared at the waist. Blood then gushed forth, and wails of agony rang out continuously.

Dozens of men were all cleaved in two!

"Hiss…"

Lin Ya watched this scene, and the admiration in his heart grew even stronger.

Just one sword strike!

And every member of the Pingtian Trading Guild who had made them suffer so much was slaughtered!

This was Lin Feng in his fury!

"Oh? A protector as well?"

A cold glint flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. The purple-robed youth had been saved by someone—this meant his status was no ordinary one!

"You… you bastard…"

"All my men have been killed! Second Uncle, avenge me! You must avenge me!"

The youth was beside himself with rage. His hands and feet were ice-cold, his face pale, but his eyes burned with hatred.

These were all the foundation of his power!

"Sir, killing members of my Zhao Family will come at a price!"

The middle-aged man was also furious, but his face was cautious, his vigilance toward Lin Feng never wavering.

The aura this man released was at the Enlightenment Realm Fourth Layer—on par with Lin Feng's cultivation.

"Zhao Family? Heh!"

Lin Feng let out a cold laugh, showing not the slightest fear.

The Zhao Family was a top-tier noble house that had ranked fourth in the previous Hundred Clans Assembly. Apart from the Three Great Families of Leiling Province, they were the strongest.

Rumor had it that the Zhao Family's Ancestor had already touched the threshold of Harmonization and was on the verge of breaking through.

In this Hundred Clans Assembly, they were even planning to charge into the top three.

Such a family—no one dared to provoke them.

But today, Lin Feng was determined to clash with him head-on!

"The nearest power to here is the Ziyun City Lin Family. You're one of the Lin Family, aren't you?" the middle-aged man asked coldly.

"I am Zhao An of the Zhao Family, ranked second. This is the Zhao Family's third young master of the main line, Zhao Huaisong!"

"Can your Lin Family afford to provoke us?"

Zhao An's face was full of contempt. He didn't care at all about the people who had just died — all of them combined were not as important as Zhao Huaisong's life.

"Second Uncle, stop wasting words with him. Kill him!" Zhao Huaisong snarled.

The Zhao Family's three young masters had each made their mark in the Martial Dao, Alchemy Dao, and Commerce Dao respectively.

Zhao Huaisong was in charge of the Commerce Dao's Pingtian Trading Guild.

Now that his entire retinue had been cut down, how could he keep his footing in the Zhao Family?

"Speak your name. I, Zhao An, do not kill the nameless."

"You don't deserve to know my name!"

Lin Feng gave a cold laugh. He had come here today precisely to wipe out every last one of them.

Not a single one would be allowed to live!

As his words fell, Lin Feng struck first.

The Tianhong Sword flashed with a cold gleam, and several streaks of rainbow light shot forth.

Zhao An's pupils contracted sharply, his whole body tensing like a wound-up spring.

With a "bang," a great hammer appeared in Zhao An's hand, and he smashed the rainbow light apart directly.

"Looks like you're truly tired of living — you see me and don't flee, yet dare to strike?" Zhao An laughed coldly.

He had long heard that the Lin Family was on the rise.

But so what?

No matter how formidable, they were still no match for the Zhao Family. Today, he, Zhao An, would destroy this rising Lin Family!

"Clan Leader, be careful!" Lin Ya shouted a warning from the side.

Zhao An had already raised his great hammer and was bringing it down on Lin Feng's skull.

At the critical moment, Lin Feng neither dodged nor evaded — instead, he stepped forward.

"The one who should be running is you!"

Lin Feng gave a cold laugh, and the Tianhong Sword in his hand suddenly erupted with an extremely brilliant radiance.

He swung in a slash, and Zhao An hurriedly raised his great hammer to block.

The sound of metal clashing rang out.

The Tianhong Sword in Lin Feng's hand cleaved straight into the ground, and the Sword Qi it carried split the earth behind Zhao An for three zhang, leaving a deep sword-carved ravine.

"Second Uncle!"

Zhao Huaisong was utterly shocked.

In his eyes, Zhao An had been split clean in two, and the great hammer in his hand had also been shattered.

"Your turn." Lin Feng's gaze swept over.

Zhao Huaisong trembled all over. What kind of monster had he provoked? Even Second Uncle was no match.

"Lin Family… you can't kill me. I'm the Zhao Family's third young master. If you kill me, the Lin Family will surely—"

Before Zhao Huaisong could finish speaking, Lin Feng had already struck.

He would never allow anyone who harmed the Lin Family to live.

"No!"

Zhao Huaisong let out a great roar. A Jade Pendant in his hand was crushed, and instantly a blue light appeared behind his back.

The blue light enveloped Zhao Huaisong and carried him away at great speed.

That speed left even Lin Feng stunned.

"He ran?"

Lin Ya was somewhat astonished. He had thought Zhao Huaisong was done for, but he hadn't expected the man to still have a life-saving trick!

"This is going to be troublesome." Lin Feng's heart sank.

Worthy of a great clan scion — he had actually been hiding a treasure for escaping death.

The Lin Family's geniuses should each be equipped with one of these things too.
