C42 The Enemies Meet Again!!
The man's voice boomed like a colossal bell, carrying with it an overwhelming force that sent ripples through the void, as if it hungered to devour all in its wake.
"Break!"
Suddenly, a figure burst forth from the void, appearing before Qin Feng with a speed that rivaled lightning.
He was a young man, garbed in luxurious attire, tall and slender. In his early thirties, he exuded an air of nobility, his piercing eyes radiating an extraordinary aura.
His gaze held a mix of surprise and contempt as he looked upon Qin Feng, as though he were nothing more than a trivial ant, his arrogance unbridled.
This was Lin Xu, the Qin family's sole Pill Refiner and the very enemy Qin Feng had detested in his past life.
Lin Xu's presence was commanding, his formidable zhenqi enveloping him in a display of power that demanded respect and warned against underestimation.
Thankfully, Qin Feng had assessed Lin Xu's strength. Lin Xu had not ascended to the True Spirit Stage; he was still at level nine of the Body Tempering Stage.
And Qin Feng knew well that a Fighter at level nine of the Body Tempering Stage stood no chance against him.
"Qin Feng, I appear to have underestimated you! Who would have thought such an insignificant ant could cause such upheaval?"
"I was careless. Had I not been in retreat, I would have eliminated you sooner!"
Lin Xu stood with his hands casually behind his back, his attention seemingly elsewhere, as if Qin Feng was beneath his notice.
His posture alone suggested he could extinguish Qin Feng's life with minimal effort.
"Hehe, you're merely a hound kept by the Qin family. Don't entertain the fantasy of turning into a man!"
Qin Feng stood his ground, his foot unyielding upon the monarch, his eyes cold and filled with an unmistakable promise of danger.
"Qin Feng, such gall! To dare insult Lord Lin Xu by calling him a dog! Get on your knees this instant and beg for mercy, hoping that Lord Lin Xu might spare your life!"
A gleam of relief crossed the monarch's face with Lin Xu's entrance. Despite being pinned by Qin Feng, he was convinced that Qin Feng wouldn't dare to end him now.
"Indeed. Qin Feng, let the monarch go immediately, then kneel and offer your apologies! Otherwise, your disrespect alone, even as the Young Lord of the Qin family, is enough reason for me to obliterate you!"
"Really?" Qin Feng's lips curled into a smile, but it was a chilling one that brimmed with lethal intent.
Lin Xu watched, his expression unchanging, utterly unfazed by Qin Feng's chilling smile. In his eyes, no matter how powerful Qin Feng might be, he wouldn't dare cross him. As the Qin family's only Pill Refiner, Lin Xu knew his value; if Qin Feng angered him, the family would be deprived of their essential pills, and their strength would suffer.
"Qin Feng, you'd better cut off your own arm and kneel before me—"
Before Lin Xu could finish his demand, Qin Feng's foot crashed down on the monarch's head, ending his life in an instant.
Lin Xu's eyes widened in disbelief, his face turning stormy as he pointed at Qin Feng, "You... How dare you?!"
He had never imagined Qin Feng would be so bold, to kill the monarch right in front of him!
"Qin Feng, you've got some nerve! Even Qin Yunhai gives me respect! You've gone too far, and I won't be polite anymore!"
As Lin Xu spoke, he struck out with his right hand. The atmosphere thickened, the air growing dense and heavy, almost suffocating. His hand cast a shadow as vast as a mountain, aiming to crush Qin Feng beneath its weight.
But Qin Feng, who stood on the threshold of the True Spirit Stage, was unfazed by Lin Xu's formidable attack.
"Scram!"
His command boomed like thunder, resonating through the air as he unleashed the Phantom Steps with lightning speed.
