Chapter 41: Is It Really Xiao?

  "Everybody up!" one of them shouted from the law enforcement team.

  As soon as the voice fell, Lin Feng saw a figure rushing towards him from the front, transforming his palm into five claws, with sharp fingertips, and swiftly grabbing at Lin Feng's neck.

  Only to see Lin Feng's right foot kick, a dull thud, the stone slab on the ground shattered, and quickly swept past the man's side. Before Lin Feng could even catch his breath, he heard a burst of wind coming from the left, no need to say, another attack by one of the law enforcement team members had arrived.

  Lin Feng swiftly glanced at the opponent, discovering that he was raising his massive fist and rapidly smashing it towards Lin Feng's chest. The sharp fist had already reached Lin Feng's clothes, and if it got any closer, even by just half a foot, the opponent would have landed an attack on him.

  Lin Feng's face changed greatly, and he hastily kicked his left foot again, his speed suddenly faster than before by a whole level. His body quickly flew past, narrowly avoiding this attack.

  ．．．．．．

  One minute's time passed quickly, and the law enforcement team's disciples had not yet taken down Lin Feng. They felt too depressed about this, as there were several times when they could have captured their opponent, but for some reason, Lin Feng was always able to suddenly increase his speed at critical moments, narrowly avoiding those attacks. So much time had passed, and they still hadn't completed the law enforcement elder's orders. The law enforcement team disciples who were attacking Lin Feng were getting anxious, Liu Xia was getting anxious, and Lin Feng was also getting anxious...

  Don't look at Lin Feng, who hasn't been caught by the opponent yet. In fact, Lin Feng is just lucky, and those few times he luckily triggered the burst skill. If he's unlucky, he could be captured by the law enforcement team at any time. Lin Feng is even more anxious than their disciples. What if he accidentally fails to trigger it? That would be a mistake that would last for eternity!

  Damn it!

  What should I do?

  Looking at the powerful people in front of him, suddenly, a gleam of inspiration flashed through Lin Feng's mind, like a bright light illuminating the sky before dawn.

  "Everyone, please stop for a moment, I have something to say!"

  Lin Feng suddenly stopped in his tracks, raised his hands and shouted loudly at the crowd.

  Everyone suddenly saw Lin Feng's strange behavior, and they were all stunned, looking at each other in confusion, with a puzzled expression on their faces. They whispered to themselves, what's wrong with this kid? Is he going to surrender or is he plotting something?

  Liu Xia's face showed no signs of worry at all, and he simply said in a light tone, "What is it that you want to say?"

  Liu Xia's expression was not unreasonable, as he had taken control of the entrance. He believed that Lin Feng would not be able to come up with any tricks as long as he didn't leave, and as long as Lin Feng couldn't get out, it was impossible for him to escape from Qing Luan Sect.

  Everyone only saw Lin Feng's hand pointing in the air, then glanced around at everyone, smiled and said, "I originally really didn't want to take action, because I don't want to hurt you all. But why do you want to force me to take action?"

  Huh?

  What is he saying?

  Everyone felt incredulous, had they heard it wrong? Lin Feng this kid said he didn't want to hurt them?

  Liu Xia was taken aback for a moment, then a hint of disdain appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said impatiently, "I thought you were going to say something. I didn't expect you to spout a bunch of nonsense, this is simply a waste of everyone's time. Let's go, next time no matter what he says, don't stop attacking."

  "Hmph, Lin Feng, it seems that just now you were only trying to stall for time. If you had the ability, why didn't you show up when we arrived? Instead, you're speaking up now?" Shi Feng's face was filled with disdain as he clenched his fist and swung a punch, a fierce gust of wind covering his words as he suddenly attacked Lin Feng.

  Looking far away at the incoming punch, Lin Feng did not dodge like before, but stood firmly in place, stubbornly entrenched like a boulder, allowing Shi Feng's fist to arrive.

  Shi Feng's face lit up with joy as he saw this scene, and his heart exclaimed, "Lin Feng is actually standing still waiting for me to attack, haha... This time I'll see how you dodge!" If Lin Feng dodged quickly like before, perhaps he would have been able to avoid it, but this time he didn't move at all. Wasn't this clearly asking Shi Feng to take care of him?

  Just as Shi Feng was about to reach Lin Feng, he suddenly saw a strange arc at the corner of Lin Feng's mouth. A bad premonition arose in his heart, and he faintly felt that something bad was going to happen. He shook his head immediately, shaking off this unrealistic idea, and continued to punch towards Lin Feng.

  Just as he was about to reach Lin Feng, a sudden change occurred. Shi Feng saw Lin Feng quickly retreat a step back, then clench his five fingers into a fist and rapidly throw a punch at him. This series of actions was completed in an instant, faster than the previous speed by who knows how many times.

  Seeing Lin Feng's unusual behavior, Shi Feng's face changed slightly, and the bad premonition in his heart grew stronger. At the same time, he also had the idea of wanting to take back this punch. However, at this moment, it was already impossible to take it back. The arrow has been shot, and there is no turning back. The fist quickly met Lin Feng's incoming punch.

  "Boom"

  A loud thud!

  Crunch

  The sound of something shattering!

  "Ah!"

  Someone's mournful cry!

  A figure quickly flew out of the field and heavily smashed onto the ground, leaving a long mark on the ground with its body, stopping at the stairs in front of the door, motionless, life or death unknown!

  Everyone hastily fixed their eyes to take a look, and saw that this person had disheveled hair, with blood and flesh blurred on his hands, and dust all over his body. Amidst the blur, everyone still managed to recognize from the familiar face that this person was actually Shi Feng.

  "Hiss"

  Everyone couldn't help but take a cold breath, looking forward to Lin Feng's calm face, their eyes filled with shock and incredulity. How was this possible?

  Liu Xia's face was stunned, and his eyes were also disbelieving. The shock in his heart far exceeded that of the others. He could defeat Shi Feng, but he couldn't believe that Lin Feng had easily knocked Shi Feng flying with just one punch. That was impossible unless it was someone at the Xuan Jiang level, a high-ranking master. But Lin Feng was not at that level, and Liu Xia hadn't sensed any powerful aura from him.

  It was precisely because he didn't believe it that he felt so shocked, not at the level of a Xuan Jiang, but with the strength of a high-level Xuan Jiang. Could it be... Liu Xia thought of a possibility, could it be that Lin Feng had cultivated the Xuan Jie Gong Fa and his cultivation was even at the 9th level of Xuan Shi?

  Just thinking about this possibility, Liu Xia couldn't help but feel a suffocating sensation. That was a Xuan Jiang after all! Among all the disciples of Qing Lian Sect, those at the Xuan Jiang level were the crème de la crème. Lin Feng, who possessed Xuan Jiang strength, was simply not someone he could handle.

  Liu Xia sighed bitterly, feeling extremely depressed in her heart. She had thought that capturing Lin Feng would be a trivial matter, but she hadn't expected...

  Hiss

  Just as Liu Xia was deep in thought, a figure quickly flashed by his side. Liu Xia also knew who it was, but at this time he didn't stop him, letting the other person leave, because the other person wasn't someone he could stop anyway. Stretching out his hand to block would only likely result in injury, what's the point?

  After Lin Feng left, Liu Xia looked around at everyone and sighed, "Let's go back and tell the law enforcement elder about this."

  ．．．．．．

  "Alas, have you heard? The law enforcement team returned empty-handed this time."

  "Hmm, what's going on? So many people and still can't catch Lin Feng?"

  "What's going on?"

  "Scoff, what law enforcement team? Can't even catch a single outer courtyard disciple, yet they dare to show off in front of others. This time, they've lost face big time."

  "Isn't that right! Every time they see someone, they always have a smug look on their face. Just looking at them makes people angry, as if no one doesn't know they're disciples of the law enforcement team?"

  "By the way, don't you think it's strange? How did Lin Feng manage to escape?"

  "Now that you mention it, I'm also curious, and I don't know how Lin Feng managed to escape either?"

  ．．．．．．

  "What?! You actually let Lin Feng escape?" Law Enforcement Elder Cao Zhan's face was filled with anger as he glared at the timid and fearful Liu Xia and the others. After all, the Hundred Saints Sect had only given them three days to hand over Lin Feng. If they failed to do so within those three days, the Hundred Saints Sect would surely massacre the Qing Luan Sect.

  However, it's okay now that it's only the second day, there should still be time, and since things have already happened, even if they blame them, there's nothing they can do. Cao Zhan Duan took a few deep breaths, his face darkening as he asked in a low voice, "Speak, what exactly is going on?"

  Then Liu Xia told Cao Zhan-Duan about the whole thing in detail, steeling herself.

  "What? You're saying that Lin Feng is actually at the 9th level of Xuan Shi, and he's suspected to be cultivating the Xuan Jie Gong Fa?" Cao Zhan asked with a shocked expression. How was this possible? According to his investigation, Lin Feng had only just advanced to become an outer courtyard disciple, when did outer courtyard disciples have Xuan Jiang-level strength?

  "Liu Xia, do you know how serious the crime of deceiving the law enforcement elder is? Tell me the truth quickly, otherwise, once I find out, you will have to accept the suffering of the cold pool." Cao Zhan said disbelievingly. He thought that Liu Xia and the others were just making up a lie to shirk their responsibilities because they were not doing their job well.

  The so-called bitter cold pool, that is the most severe punishment in Qinglan Sect. The cold pool is the most severe punishment for the disciples of the law enforcement team in Qinglan Sect. Once you enter the cold pool, the icy chill will penetrate deep into your bones, and even the internal Qi cannot resist this coldness. And it's only after three days that you can be released.

  Liu Xia couldn't help but shudder at the thought of the cold pond, a place that was probably terrifying. However, what he said was all true, so he naturally didn't dare to hide it and firmly said, "Elder, everything we said is true."

  "Yes, elder, what we said is true."

  The other disciples all chimed in agreement.

  Cao Zhan Duan quietly looked at them for a while, then said in a low voice, "Alright, I'll believe you for now. However, if I find out that what you're saying is all lies, you will receive the punishment you deserve. Now hurry back and inform all the law enforcement team members to search for Lin Feng's trail with all their might."

  They naturally knew what punishment they should receive, but didn't worry about it and simply responded with a "Yes."

  Cao Zhan looked at the back of Liu Xia and others as they left, muttering in his mouth, "Xuan Jiang?"

  ．．．．．．

  Finally managed to rush it out, I'm exhausted after coming back from part-time job today, so just one chapter for today...
