"Who do you think you are? You're just a useless piece of trash who can't even repair chains!"
Perhaps intimidated and enraged by Ling Feng's transformation, Xiao Ke waved his hand at his two lackeys and shouted.
"Get him!"
Immediately, Xiao Ke's two lackeys, Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang, exchanged a glance, a playful smile playing on their lips. Then, with their arms crossed, they swaggered towards Ling Feng.
The two completely disregarded Ling Feng, making no preparations, ready to approach, knock him down, and trample him underfoot.
"Trash, let us beat you up obediently, and I might consider going easy on you."
"Hahaha..."
Just as Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang finished their taunts and mockery, they were already only a meter away from Ling Feng. At this moment, Ling Feng suddenly clenched his fists, a faint aura of battle swirling around them.
In the next instant, Ling Feng charged forward, hooking his fists towards the abdomen of Xiao Ke's two lackeys.
Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang never expected Ling Feng to suddenly attack, and with such incredible speed.
Caught off guard, they were struck hard in the abdomen by Ling Feng's unexpected attack. The power of his ninth-level Dou Qi erupted, sending them flying backward like shrimp. They
finally came to a stop after hitting a roadside tree.
Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang, merely third-level Dou Qi members of the Xiao family, were directly knocked down by Ling Feng's punch to their weak points, curled up on the ground, howling in pain, powerless to retaliate.
"How is this possible?!"
Xiao Ke was shocked by Ling Feng's abnormality, unable to believe it. "When did this good-for-nothing become so powerful?!"
To be able to knock down Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang with a single punch required at least third-level Dou Qi strength. But Ling Feng was a universally acknowledged good-for-nothing; his sudden outburst surprised Xiao Ke.
However, Ling Feng gave Xiao Ke no chance to recover. He slightly raised his palms, a faint aura of battle qi swirling around them, and stomped his foot on the ground, charging straight at Xiao Ke.
Ling Feng hadn't cultivated any fighting techniques, only the most basic combat skills.
Simply put, it was just wild punching!
But Xiao Ke had clearly received formal training, and reacted quickly to Ling Feng's attack.
He dodged to the side, temporarily avoiding the attack.
Seeing this, Ling Feng attacked again, and the passive Xiao Ke could only temporarily defend. After a few moves, he dodged again, creating distance between himself and Ling Feng. This
low-level battle wasn't particularly dazzling; it was all just simple clashes.
"Ling Feng, don't think you can challenge me just because you have some strength!"
Suppressed by Ling Feng, Xiao Ke's anger flared. Enraged, he clenched his fists, mobilizing his battle qi.
Having gathered his strength, Xiao Ke swiftly closed in on Ling Feng. His right palm slightly condensed with battle qi, and with a powerful swing, he aimed a fierce blow at Ling Feng's chest.
"Mountain-Splitting Palm!"
Xiao Ke's low shout had barely faded when a gust of wind swept across Ling Feng's forehead. His brow furrowed, and Ling Feng quickly dodged.
Lacking any fighting techniques, he was at a disadvantage and dared not confront Xiao Ke
head-on, forced to avoid his attacks. Xiao Ke, recognizing Ling Feng's weakness, continued to close the distance, unleashing his fighting techniques. As he drew near, Xiao Ke slightly bent his palms, the sharp nails on his fingers gleaming with a cold light.
The next moment, Xiao Ke's right claw rose, drawing a tricky arc, aiming straight for Ling Feng's throat.
"Cracking Claw Strike!"
Like the "Mountain Splitting Palm," the Cracking Claw Strike was a mid-level Yellow Rank fighting technique; a fatal attack would inevitably cause serious injury.
"Whoosh~"
The claw strike came suddenly, and Ling Feng, unable to dodge, could only lean back. Xiao Ke's claw strike missed, but left a scratch mark on Ling Feng's neck. Blood seeped through the skin.
Ling Feng cried out in pain, pushing off with his feet to create distance. Touching the throbbing scratch mark on his neck, his fingers were already stained with blood.
Seeing this, a smug smile appeared on Xiao Ke's face, and he coldly snorted, "You lowly commoner, you dare to lay a hand on me? You're simply courting death!"
Ling Feng frowned, his face grim, a counter-strategy flashing through his mind. Xiao Ke, however, roared again, "Without fighting techniques, you can't possibly defeat me. Ling Feng, this time I'll thoroughly torture you and show you that I'm not someone to be trifled with!"
With that, Xiao Ke attacked again.
At that moment, Ling Feng seemed to have made a decision. He gritted his teeth, circulating his fighting spirit throughout his limbs, a faint aura swirling around his hands and feet.
"Mountain-Splitting Palm!"
The attack had begun, the palm wind arriving first. Ling Feng's eyes were firm and calm as he watched the slashing palm strike. The next moment, Ling Feng clenched his left fist and stepped forward to block, letting Xiao Ke's palm strike fall.
"Crack!"
A muffled sound of a slight bone fracture rang out as Xiao Ke's attack landed; Ling Feng's left hand was injured. But he endured the pain, grabbing Xiao Ke's arm with his other hand, gathering his right fist, fighting spirit rapidly condensing on his fist.
The next moment, Ling Feng gave Xiao Ke a sinister smile. Seeing this, Xiao Ke's soul trembled, sensing danger, a chill running down his spine, and he hurriedly struggled.
Xiao Ke only possessed sixth-level Dou Qi, while Ling Feng had ninth-level Dou Qi, overwhelming him with power.
Unable to break free, Xiao Ke realized then that Ling Feng's strength surpassed his own, and a look of fear crossed his face. At the same time, Ling Feng ruthlessly slammed into his abdomen, which Xiao Ke couldn't dodge in time.
"Bang!"
Xiao Ke's body curled up, letting out a wail. But he was stronger than Xiao Ming and the other two, and more resilient, not rendered powerless by Ling Feng's single punch.
But one punch wasn't enough; Ling Feng delivered two, three punches!
Finally, Xiao Ke was also knocked down, curled up, howling in pain.
Xiao Ke hadn't expected Ling Feng's strength to be superior to his. He hadn't expected Ling Feng to be so ruthless, resorting to a trade of injuries to defeat him.
"I may not have any Dou Techniques, but my strength can crush you! Ultimately, you're not as tough as me!"
Grabbing Xiao Ke's injured arm, Ling Feng approached him, a cold smile appearing on his face as he watched Xiao Ke's painful, curled-up state.
Ling Feng's words seemed to pierce Xiao Ke's heart. He suppressed his pain, glaring venomously at Ling Feng, "You...you lowly commoner! Even if you're stronger than me, I am a direct descendant of the Xiao family! You dare to injure me? You're dead! My Xiao family will never let you go!"
Hearing this, Ling Feng frowned, but then relaxed, his face as cold as ice. "You have no chance to go back."
"What do you want to do!"
Seemingly realizing Ling Feng's intentions, Xiao Ke was now terrified. "You can't kill me! Otherwise, my Xiao family will never let you go!"
Ling Feng looked at the terrified Xiao Ke, his face cold, his eyes revealing undisguised killing intent. "I'll kill you all, then find a pit and bury you. No one will know I killed you, and the Xiao family will be helpless."
"You...you...don't come any closer...ah!"
