Chapter 52: Have You No Shame?
Outside the Pingtian Trading Guild headquarters.
Lin Feng held his sword in one hand and slashed out a streak of Sword Qi; the rainbow light on the Tianhong Sword swept forth and sliced straight into the six-story building before him.
Boom after boom, rumble after rumble.
Countless people fled out of the building; that building had actually been cleaved with a vicious sword scar.
Many bricks and tiles flew out from it, smashing onto the ground and sending dust billowing everywhere.
Lin Xuan hid behind Lin Feng, her big eyes blinking as she watched.
"Who is so bold as to dare come cause trouble at my Pingtian Trading Guild!"
A man in a yellow robe walked out of the building—it was Zhao Fusheng.
He stared at the person before him, his face full of fury.
"Lin Feng! What monstrous dog-guts you have!" Zhao Fusheng cursed in rage.
The Pingtian Trading Guild had already obtained portraits of all the core figures of the Lin Family, so naturally he could recognize Lin Feng.
"Your Lin Family is truly guilty beyond measure, deserving death a thousand times over."
"On Thatched Cottage Mountain, you killed members of my Pingtian Trading Guild, and nearly cost my Zhao Family's Third Young Master his life; and now you've come to Jinyun City to make a move against my Zhao Family's business."
"You've truly turned the world upside down!"
Zhao Fusheng burst into furious cursing, and many people from the Pingtian Trading Guild rushed out one after another, their eyes blazing with fury, their killing intent overwhelming.
The surroundings were packed with onlookers.
"The Lin Family? Is that the Ziyun City Lin Family that's been rising to fame lately?"
"How dare they come cause trouble in Jinyun City!"
"Did you see that? Just now that one sword strike from this person actually destroyed half of the Pingtian Trading Guild headquarters—such terrifying strength!"
The crowd buzzed with discussion, their gazes toward Lin Feng filled with astonishment.
But Lin Feng paid it no heed; his expression was utterly calm. Right now, he was considering how to get Lin Xuan involved.
The mission the system had issued was to wipe out the Pingtian Trading Guild.
But how to wipe them out, and how to get Lin Xuan involved so as to obtain the highest Golden Rating—these were all problems.
Just as Lin Feng was lost in his own thoughts, Zhao Fusheng struck without warning.
He saw Spirit Qi envelop his fist, and he suddenly hurled it at Lin Feng; that punch was extremely fast, and its power was terrifying.
He was at the Dao Comprehension Realm First Layer of cultivation, and held some standing within the Zhao Family.
Having heard that Third Young Master Zhao Huaisong had been taught a lesson by Lin Feng, Zhao Fusheng felt it was only because the Third Young Master's cultivation was poor that he had been bullied.
Now that his enemy was right before him—first kill Lin Feng, then destroy the Lin Family.
"Pa!"
Zhao Fusheng's fist was caught by a single hand. Lin Feng's face remained as calm as still water; with a casual twist, in an instant Zhao Fusheng's arm was wrenched into a twist like a braided rope.
Such a scene made the watching crowd collectively gasp in cold breaths.
Zhao Fusheng let out a great howl of pain.
"With the likes of you, you think you can deal with me?" Lin Feng gave a cold laugh, then flicked a finger; a stream of Spirit Qi struck Zhao Fusheng's knee dead-center.
Zhao Fusheng dropped to his knees with a thud, his face full of shock.
Just a moment ago, he had actually managed to sense Lin Feng's cultivation.
Dao Comprehension Realm, Sixth Layer!
No wonder Zhao Huaisong had nearly been killed.
A powerhouse like that, even placed within the Zhao Family, would still be very strong!
"You… how dare you treat me like this! I am a member of the Zhao Family; the monstrous crime you've committed today, my Zhao Family will surely avenge it in the future!" Though Zhao Fusheng was in so much pain his face was contorted, he still spoke defiantly.
"You are the Lin Family Patriarch, yet you strike at a mere side branch of the Zhao Family—have you no shame?"
At these words, Lin Feng actually released Zhao Fusheng.
The corners of his mouth curved up; he had an idea in mind.
Since he wanted to get Lin Xuan involved, now there was a pretext.
"You're right. For a dignified Clan Leader like me to make a move against a piece of trash like you, it does lower my worth." Lin Feng said in a deep voice.
"But your Pingtian Trading Guild has cut off the Ziyun Mountain trade route—this matter cannot be left unaddressed!"
"What do you want?"
Hatred rose in Zhao Fusheng's eyes; he quietly reached out and gripped a Jade Pendant, secretly transmitting a message.
The Zhao Family's experts would arrive very soon.
When that time came, they would surely be able to capture Lin Feng in one fell swoop.
"Today I've brought a junior of the Lin Family here—consider it my challenge to your Zhao Family. If you can defeat her, I, Lin Feng, will turn around and leave."
"If you can't, then the Pingtian Trading Guild need not exist anymore."
After Lin Feng finished speaking, he patted Lin Xuan on the shoulder. The little girl's beautiful eyes flashed; she had thought she'd come along to watch a good show, never expecting she herself was the one putting on the show.
"Clan Leader! I can't do it!" Lin Xuan said nervously.
After a month of cultivation, she had already gone from Body Tempering Fourth Layer to Body Tempering Ninth Layer.
For her age, this level of cultivation was decent, but she absolutely could not be called a genius.
Spending every day with Lin Ya and Lin Yan, Lin Xuan had grown somewhat insecure.
Now Lin Feng wanted her to make a move—and against the Zhao Family, no less.
This was simply too fantastical.
"Do you still want to eat Void Spirit Pills or not? Defeat a junior of the Zhao Family, and I'll give you a hundred Void Spirit Pills." Lin Feng said with a smile.
Although Lin Xuan had, up to now, never displayed any talent of her own.
But this girl ate several hundred Void Spirit Pills, and nothing happened at all — that alone proves the point.
Her physique is probably the Lin Family's most deeply hidden secret.
Even Lin Ya can't compare to it.
The reason it never awakened is simply that she lacked a chance.
Today, we will not only destroy the Pingtian Trading Guild, but also trigger Lin Xuan's Special Physique.
"The Lin Family really doesn't know its own limits!"
"Exactly — the Zhao Family ranked fourth in the last Hundred Clans Assembly in Leiling Province!"
"Was the Lin Family in the last one? No, right!"
Inside Jinyun City, there were far too many traveling merchants; now they were all packed in the streets, staring unblinkingly at the battle.
What Lin Feng said was far too arrogant!
"Hahaha! Arrogant indeed!"
Zhao Fusheng laughed out loud, his eyes brimming with savage killing intent. His arm had been crippled, the pain twisting his face, yet at this moment he was brimming with confidence.
"Fine, I accept your terms — but if you lose, it won't be as simple as walking away!"
"Zhao Tuo!"
Zhao Fusheng shouted, and a boy of sixteen or seventeen stepped out.
The boy was tall and spirited — he was Zhao Fusheng's son, and one of the people the Zhao Family would be sending to the Hundred Clans Assembly this time.
"Father, if I win, can I have that woman?"
Delight flashed in Zhao Tuo's eyes. Lin Xuan was far too beautiful — such a woman, he truly couldn't bear to strike her dead.
"Cut the nonsense. Kill him and avenge your third brother!" Zhao Fusheng said coldly.
Zhao Tuo had just broken into the first level of Foundation Building a few days ago — that cultivation was already enough to firmly suppress Lin Xuan.
Isn't this a blessing delivered right to the Lin Family's door?
"Clan Leader, how am I supposed to fight?"
Lin Xuan was caught between tears and laughter — she truly had no experience in this area.
"Think carefully — how does your Brother Yan usually beat people? Just do it like that."
Lin Feng said with a smile, confident he hadn't misjudged her.
"Then I understand."
Lin Xuan nodded, walked up to Zhao Tuo with easy confidence, beckoned with one hand, and said, "You — kneel down and call me Daddy!"
Hearing this, Lin Feng immediately pressed a hand to his forehead.
Does Lin Yan normally talk like that?
Zhao Tuo smiled contemptuously: "Little beauty, you really don't know your own limits!"
"A weak woman at mere Body Tempering Realm dares to challenge me at Foundation Building."
"Once I beat you down, I'll knock you out and take you away — make you my plaything day and night!"
The moment Zhao Tuo's words fell, he struck directly.
