Chapter 1: Lin Feng (New book seeking collection and flowers)
"No one is allowed to bully her!"
The young man opened his arms and used force to protect the little girl behind him. His handsome face looked a bit childish, but his eyes were full of determination.
As soon as the young man's words came out, a burst of mocking laughter echoed through the streets of the small town.
"Lin Feng, you're such a waste! Can't even protect yourself, yet you want to protect others?"
"Trash is trash, just like your dad! And you think you can be a hero and save the beauty? Haha!"
"Others are heroes saving beauties, but Lin Feng is a bear saving a little beggar, haha!"
"Lin Feng, you've been getting beaten up less often these days, are you itching for a fight? Get out of the way quickly, or we won't be polite!"
The piercing laughter fell into Lin Feng's ears, causing the young man's face to flush slightly. He clenched his delicate fists tightly, his lips pursed, and his gaze at several boys of the same age had a hint of cold light flashing, but he stood there without retreating a single step.
"Big brother, I'm scared!" a timid voice came from behind.
"Don't be afraid! I'm here, it's okay." Lin Feng turned his head and gently patted the little girl's head.
The little girl looked about eleven or twelve years old, her clothes were tattered and worn out, her face was dark and dirty, but a pair of eyes shone extremely brightly. In her hand she held a broken bowl with a hole in it, indicating that she was a beggar.
The little girl's shirt had several saliva stains on it, and there was a big lump on her forehead, which was the masterpiece of these few town boys in front of Lin Feng.
After hearing Lin Feng's words, the little girl nodded and tightly grasped the hem of Lin Feng's clothes.
This scene made several town boys who were chasing after a little beggar even more furious.
"Lin Feng, I'm asking you again, are you going to move or not?" a slightly chubby youth shouted.
"Wang Hu, with me here today, you'd better not think of bullying her!" Lin Feng's eyes sparkled as he spoke word by word.
"It seems you're really itching for a fight! Come on and hit me!" Wang Hu roared in anger.
"Watch me!"
A young man responded and punched towards Lin Feng's chest, bringing out a whistling wind sound!
This seemingly ordinary small town boy is actually not a weakling!
"Hmmph!"
Lin Feng gritted his teeth and suddenly stomped the ground, his waist and back tightening like a longbow. He swung out a fist with great force, drawing an unusual arc from under his armpit to meet the youth's punch!
In terms of the intricacy of the move, Lin Feng's punch was many times stronger than that of the young man in front of him! However—
"Crack!"
After a crisp sound, Lin Feng's face turned pale and he took half a step back.
His fists trembled slightly and could no longer be clenched, with several finger bones already broken by the opponent!
"What a waste!"
The boy opposite slowly withdrew his fist, with a triumphant look on his face.
"Hahaha!"
Wang Hu and others laughed even louder: "Lin Feng, it's been a few days since we last saw you, but you haven't made any progress at all!"
"What's the use of having a fancy appearance but lacking real substance?"
"You can't even master the first level of Tiger Fist, yet you dare challenge us!"
"Haha, this is hilarious, I'm dying of laughter!"
Watching several peers laughing recklessly, Lin Feng's handsome face also showed a hint of bitter smile.
Three years ago, Wang Hu and the others would respectfully address him as "Young Master Lin Feng" whenever they met. The expressions on their faces were so humble. But now, it's the same people, yet they're being so arrogant in front of him!
I am really a waste, can't even master the first move of Hu Xing Quan?
Three years ago, I was the only one among the town's young men who had practiced Hu Xing Quan up to the fourth level!
The most likely person in the small town to be selected and join the Luoyun Sect's Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry is oneself! At that time, what a magnificent sight oneself was!
However, since three years ago...
Lin Feng shook his head slightly, stood up straight, and looked at Wang Hu with a firm tone: "A group of people bullying a little girl, what's the big deal! With me Lin Feng here, I absolutely won't let you bully her!"
"Haha! What a big tone! Today we won't bully her, let's bully you instead!" Wang Hu sneered and threw a punch at Lin Feng, with a faint tiger roar in the wind of his fist!
As the leader of this group of young men, Wang Hu's Tiger Fist had already reached the second level, and this punch had a force of 500 catties, which was already imbued with a hint of tiger-like majesty!
Lin Feng tightly pursed his lips, a hint of ferocity flashing in his eyes, as he simultaneously swung out with both fists and heavily smashed them towards Wang Hu!
Pong!
Lin Feng's mouth cornered out a thread of fresh blood, his body flew backwards and heavily fell to the ground!
"Mind your own business!"
"Beat him!"
Several other young men rushed forward, punching and kicking towards Lin Feng.
They were about the same age as Lin Feng, around thirteen or fourteen years old, and had been practicing Hu Xing Quan for several years, all at the level of Hu Xing Quan first or second grade.
Wang Hu and a few others chased this unfamiliar little beggar today, but it was just because they were extremely bored, throwing stones at the little girl and spitting saliva. They were disturbed by Lin Feng, and under their anger, they also struck without mercy. Soon, several of Lin Feng's ribs were broken, and he lay on the ground unable to move.
Lin Feng gritted his teeth and hummed, but didn't make a sound. A stern expression appeared on his handsome face as he stared fixedly at Wang Hu.
"Stop it! Please stop fighting! Stop it!" The little girl cried out beside them.
"Lin Feng! Hurry up and call Grandfather! Call Grandfather and I'll spare you today!" Wang Hu laughed loudly.
"Ptui!" Lin Feng spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm, his eyes blazing with anger and a hint of disdain. "If it were three years ago, would you dare?"
"I'll see how long you can hold on! Do you think you're still the genius who was famous in Blackstone Town three years ago? Give me a good beating!" Wang Hu was enraged and kicked Lin Feng's body again.
"Stop it! You're going to beat him to death!" The little beggar cried out beside them.
"Quick! Run quickly! Run!" Lin Feng took a deep breath, forcing himself to endure the piercing pain, and shouted at the little girl with gritted teeth.
"Big brother, I won't leave!" The little girl cried out, tears streaming down her face, washing away the dust and revealing a bit of her delicate skin.
"Tap tap tap!"
The sudden sound of horseshoes rang out, pounding the earth like a stormy rain. The ground shook violently. A dozen heavily armored warhorses came flying from afar and charged into the streets of the small town.
The knights on horseback were all wearing black heavy armor, with metal face masks, and scarlet cloaks fluttering behind them, emitting a strong bloody aura, and the eyes under the mask were even colder than ice!
Under them, the war horses were also covered with heavy black armor, which was full of sinister spikes. And on their battle armor, the joints were also densely packed with spikes, shining with a cold gleam!
Such a knight is simply a mobile slaughter machine!
"Luoyun Sect's Mysterious Heavy Cavalry!"
People on the street hurriedly avoided and watched this small team of knights with a face full of reverence, but in the depths of their eyes, there was also a little envy...
The Black Iron Knights are the most noble existence on this land!
Everyone has had a youthful time, which man does not yearn to be a real strong man? Even the men of Blackstone Town, when they were young, had dreams of joining the Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry and making their family proud!
However, to become a heavy cavalry of the Luoyun Sect, the conditions are really too harsh, and not everyone's Tiger Shape Fist can reach the fourth level, reaching the minimum standard for joining the Heavy Cavalry.
Men with shattered hopes can only deeply hide their dreams in their hearts, and the Xuan Jia Heavy Cavalry of the Luoyun Sect can only be seen once a year during tax collection!
This small team of heavy cavalry in black armor rushed to the front of a group of young people at the corner of the street, and the riders on horseback lightly pulled the reins, and more than a dozen heavy armored war horses stood up and stopped together, with extremely elegant movements.
Wang Hu and others had already been stunned, where they still had the mind to besiege Lin Feng, one after another fiery gaze fell on the shining armor of the knight on horseback.
They were all still young and had yet to experience the trials of Lu Yun Zong, their dreams of becoming Xuan Jia Heavy Cavalry had not been completely shattered, these knights were their idols.
The leading knight was tall and sturdy, his armor especially heavy, and the warhorse he rode was a head taller than those of the other knights. Standing there, he seemed like an immovable mountain. The knight's body emitted an extremely intense bloody aura, apparently having gone through countless life-and-death battles.
All the young people's fiery eyes fell on this knight captain, and Lin Feng was no exception.
To become a member of the Xuan Jia Heavy Cavalry and experience a life of blood and fire was once Lin Feng's dream. Although this dream... had already been impossible to achieve...
The captain of the knights' gaze was sharp as a knife, sweeping across the faces of several young men, and suddenly the horse whip swung, transforming into a dizzying shadow that struck towards Wang Hu and others!
Bang! Bang! Bang!......
The sound of the whip entering the flesh was like a sudden rain, and Wang Hu and others dodged in time, but were heavily whipped on their bodies, with three deep whip marks appearing on each of them!
Several young men had identical lash marks on their bodies, with the location and force being perfectly controlled, demonstrating the knight's exceptional power control ability. One of the lash marks was even deeply imprinted on his face!
Wang Hu's slightly chubby face had a half-inch deep gash, with blood gushing out, looking extremely terrifying. The other few boys were the same, their clothes instantly stained red with blood!
Several young men gritted their teeth in pain and didn't dare make a sound, including Wang Hu.
"How many of you will be stripped of your qualifications to join the Xuan Jia Heavy Cavalry!" The knight captain swung his blood-stained whip and snorted under his mask.
Wang Hu and several others heard this, their faces suddenly turned pale!
Joining the Luoyun Sect's Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry is every young man's dream in Heishi Town. This dream may be distant, but it's not entirely impossible. Yet today, their dreams were ruthlessly stripped away!
But no one dared to say more, Heishi Town was the territory of Luoyun Sect, and here the Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry were the law!
At this time, speaking out would only lead to a dead end. At such a moment, who dares to make fun of their own life?
The knight glanced indifferently at Lin Feng lying on the ground, and slightly bowed his head towards the little beggar beside Lin Feng: "Miss!"
