C43 Victory!

A punch burst forth with the radiance of the sun, shattering Lin Xu's palm print and striking his hand with catastrophic force.

"Argh!" The overwhelming power instantly fractured Lin Xu's arm, drawing out a scream as piercing as a pig being slaughtered.

Qin Feng, however, did not let up. He grabbed Lin Xu's arm and swung him into the air with savage strength. The thought of Ling Er possibly being harmed only fueled his fury to new heights.

He lifted Lin Xu and slammed him down repeatedly, each impact resounding with a thunderous roar. Lin Xu was utterly defenseless, his mind reeling at his complete inability to resist the man he had once dismissed as a nobody.

Before long, Lin Xu's thoughts were overtaken by the excruciating pain of his battered body. Qin Feng's movements grew faster, his power increasing, as he struck with the mercilessness of someone beating a stray dog. The pent-up hatred and frustration from his previous life were now being vented without restraint.

Lin Xu coughed up blood, his expensive clothes torn and bloodstained, leaving him looking more like a beggar than the esteemed Pill Refiner he was.

"Quick!"

Amidst Qin Feng's unyielding punishment, a series of urgent cries cut through the chaos.

"Qin Feng, what are you doing? Stop this immediately!"

The commanding voice belonged to Qin Yunhai, who arrived with a face seething with anger, leading a squad of men.

Upon seeing the scene, his astonishment was palpable.

"Qin Yunhai! Your insolence knows no bounds!" Lin Xu's eyes blazed with hatred as he glared venomously at Qin Yunhai.

Qin Shan, who had been overpowered by Qin Feng, felt his courage surge in his father's presence and shouted defiantly at Qin Feng.

"I am a distinguished Pill Refiner, courted by countless factions. And this is how you treat me?"

"Lord Lin Xu, please, calm down. There must be some misunderstanding!" Qin Yunhai was immediately anxious.

After all, a family's growth hinges on access to pills. Offending Lin Xu would be a headache, even for him.

Yet, as he took in the scene before him, Qin Yunhai was also shocked to his core. He never imagined Qin Feng could defeat Lin Xu.

Qin Shan, who had been thoroughly thrashed by Qin Feng, seemed emboldened by his father's presence and bellowed at Qin Feng.

"Qin Feng, you idiot, release Lord Lin Xu this instant!"

"Did you hear me, Qin Feng? If not for your father, you'd have been expelled from the Qin family by now. Get on your knees and apologize to Lord Lin Xu!" Qin Yunhai also barked sharply.

"Lin Xu, where is Ling Er?" Qin Feng ignored Qin Yunhai and the rest, his gaze cold as he stared at Lin Xu and asked slowly.

His murderous intent was palpable, his eyes like a thousand sharp swords, radiating an awe-inspiring aura that seemed ready to tear through anything.

"That bitch!" Lin Xu's eyes flashed with contempt, but before he could finish, Qin Feng's foot crashed into his chest.

"Insolence! Seize him!" Qin Yunhai's face was as cold as ice, his voice dark and ominous.

Qin Feng's disrespect towards Lin Xu was like dragging the Qin family into an abyss. How could Qin Yunhai just stand by?

Yet, Qin Yunhai was deeply puzzled. Qin Feng had been considered a failure, and without the aid of any pills, how had he become so powerful?

"Could he have a powerful artifact? Or has he been hiding his true strength all along, deceiving us?"

"No, that's impossible. Someone would have noticed, no matter how well he hid!"

"There's only one explanation: the boy must have encountered an incredible stroke of luck!"

"Hmph, once I have him in custody, I'll uncover the truth!" The thought of a great secret within Qin Feng sent a thrill through Qin Yunhai.
