Chapter 38: The Old Guys from Rong Jun Yuan

  This house was where he and his parents lived back then. From birth to leaving Luoyun City, he spent six years here.

  Wangfeng Road No. 301 is a mansion that covers an area of no more than a few acres. The mansion faces the majestic Luoyun Peak. At that time, Lin Feng's father, Lin Heng, had also accumulated wealth for many years before buying such a mansion and moving out of the Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry military camp.

  The building in the mansion is very simple, a two-story pavilion, a small garden, and several tall trees in the courtyard, with a wisteria trellis. It had snowed a few days ago, and the remaining snow on the wisteria trellis had not yet completely melted.

  Due to the long absence of its master, weeds grew wildly in the mansion, cobwebs were everywhere, and a corrupting aura was emitted.

  After entering the courtyard, Lin Feng immediately began to tidy up the courtyard. He pulled out the wild grass in the yard, swept away the dense spider webs, carefully leveled and compacted the ground in the small yard, and opened all the doors and windows to let in the cold air. After his efforts, the old house also became brand new.

  "It's almost the same as it was back then! But now my mother has passed away, and my father is also gone..." Lin Feng sat on the old swing, murmuring with a tinge of sadness.

  Recalling the words his father left behind when he departed, Lin Feng once again dispelled this thread of sadness. His father's departure was so that he could soar even higher on his own. And what he needed to prove was that without his father's protection, he could still fly just as high.

  Looking at the Lu Yun Peak that pierced into the clouds from afar, Lin Feng's eyes also conjured up the image of that serene and gentle purple-clad girl.

  "Ye Zi, you must be on that mountain! I've arrived at Luoyun City, but when will we ever meet?"

  After tidying up the courtyard, Lin Feng immediately began his cultivation. Although it was no longer possible to advance before the assessment, he did not want to relax his demands on himself. After all, joining the Xuanwu Heavy Cavalry was only the first step. To have the qualification to protect Ye Zi, he needed even greater power.

  Lin Feng practiced the Tiger Form Fist for a while, then sat cross-legged on the steps, closing his eyes in contemplation. After contemplating for a period of time, he got up again to practice fist in the courtyard.

  This is Lin Feng's current cultivation method, through practicing fist and meditation to enhance his understanding of the universe. When the understanding accumulates to a certain extent, after enlightenment, he can advance to the next level.

  It wasn't until after midnight that Lin Feng returned to the room he had lived in back then, and fell into a deep sleep. After sleeping for two hours, he got up again and began his daily cultivation routine.

  Below the Luoyun Peak, outside the military camp of the Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry, there is an old soldier's bar.

  It's still morning, but the bar is already filled with many customers. Dozens of robust military men are scattered throughout the bar, drinking liquor in groups of three to five and chatting enthusiastically. The beautiful waitresses with good figures carry trays back and forth, completely ignoring the rude behavior of the drunkards putting gold coins into their underwear.

  "Hey! Do you know?" A stout man sitting by the window seemed to have thought of something, and whispered mysteriously, "That place, someone has moved in again!"

  "Where is it?" Another thin man said lazily, and as he passed by the waitress, he heavily slapped her plump buttocks. The waitress giggled and ran away.

  "Wangfeng Road 301! I passed by there last night and saw lights on inside!" The short, stout man laughed loudly, "I didn't think anyone would be brave enough to go in! Haha!"

  "Really?" The thin man's spirit shook, "So that means there's another good show to watch?"

  "That's for sure!" The sturdy man laughed and said, "A whole team of guys, they definitely won't let it go easily!"

  A tall and handsome young man who had been silent all along spoke up, "But isn't the main force already on guard at the border? Is there still anyone who would take the lead for this matter?"

  "Although a large group is no longer in Luoyun City, however —" The sturdy man nodded towards the other side of the bar, "Do you think these guys don't exist?"

  On that side, there were five slightly older sturdy men drinking and toasting.

  The conversation of these three people was originally audible throughout the entire bar. As soon as they started talking, they became the focus of the whole bar.

  Upon hearing this, the several robust men exchanged a glance, simultaneously tilted their heads back and downed the strong liquor in their cups, heavily slamming the cups on the table before striding out.

  "These retired old guys are still so vigorous! Let's go take a look!" The three of them also finished their wine and quickly followed him out.

  "The old codgers living in the Veterans' Home aren't easy to mess with. Let's go watch the excitement!" The knights in the bar laughed and put down their cups, following him out.

  "Today is the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, and tomorrow will be the day of the test! I don't know if she'll be there in person tomorrow..." Lin Feng sat cross-legged on the steps, but his heart was somewhat unsettled, unable to enter a state of meditation.

  Suddenly——

  A loud "Boom!" shook the air as two large gates were violently pushed open and slammed towards Lin Feng!

  Lin Feng's face turned slightly cold, and with a wave of his hand, he pushed open the flying door panel and stood up.

  Outside the gate, five tall and robust men walked in with big strides.

  Seeing these five people, Lin Feng's pupils also suddenly contracted!

  These five people are all strong masters of the fifth level of Tiger Shape Fist!!! Moreover, their bodies are also emitting a thick and intense killing aura!!!

  After the five people entered the big yard, they immediately dispersed into a semicircle, directly surrounding Lin Feng in the center. Obviously, these five people were up to no good!

  "Who are you? Why are you here?" A man with scars on his face narrowed his eyes and growled at Lin Feng.

  "This sentence should be asked by me! This house, I have already bought it!" Lin Feng looked at the man with a bad tone and said, "You broke into my mansion, destroyed my gate, what do you mean?"

  "You can't stay here, no one can stay here." The man's tone was extremely harsh. "I don't care who you are, now please leave this place!"

  "Haha!" Lin Feng's anger turned into laughter. "The house I bought, and I'm not even allowed to live here! Who do you think you are?"

  "If you don't want to leave, then I'll beat you until you do!" The man grunted, "Take a punch from me!" As he spoke, he suddenly charged towards Lin Feng, throwing a fist straight at his face. The other four men remained silent, but slowly closed in on Lin Feng.

  "Looking for death!" Lin Feng snorted, throwing a punch at the man. The man sneered, his wrist trembling slightly as he dodged Lin Feng's fist and slapped his palm heavily onto Lin Feng's wrist.

  "Hmm!" Lin Feng's wrist suddenly felt a sharp pain, and he let out a muffled grunt. In his heart, he was also shocked. The man in front of him was only at the fifth level of Tiger Shape Fist, yet as soon as they exchanged blows, he had already been at a disadvantage!

  "You are from the Imperial Guards!" Lin Feng shouted. He also immediately understood where these people came from, as their ages were all over forty and it was impossible for them to be active-duty Dark Knights. And those who could have such transcendent combat capabilities beyond rank could only be old guys from the Imperial Guards!

  "Hey kid, your accent is quite loud!" The man let out a "hmmph" and laughed loudly, saying, "That's right, we're from the Rongjun Institute. You'd better leave quickly if you know what's good for you, or else we'll have to take action."

  At this time, one by one robust men walked into the small courtyard, each of them emitting a murderous aura. However, the later men stood with their arms around each other at the periphery, putting on an air of watching a show.

  These people, Lin Feng also saw at a glance, were actually the current knights of the Xuan Jia Heavy Cavalry.

  "What if it's the Imperial Guards?" Lin Feng gazed at the robust men in front of him, his eyes also flashing with a hint of battle intent. "Today, no one can make me leave this house! No one!"

  "Then let's throw you out!" The man laughed loudly, "Brothers, let's take him down together!"

  Four others flashed a cruel smile in their eyes, and they all licked their lips at the same time, as if hunters had seen their prey.

  Five people rushed towards Lin Feng at the same time, five huge fists struck from all directions. Lin Feng's eyes became extremely bright, his perception ability was raised to the limit, and he swung his fist towards the leading man!

  That man let out a strange laugh, his wrist slightly trembling, and immediately adjusted his position, throwing another punch at Lin Feng's wrist. This move was exactly the same as the previous one.

  However, Lin Feng had anticipated this and his fist fluttered like a phantom over Han's fist, already dodging Han's iron fist, and heavily smashed onto Han's shoulder.

  Lin Feng finally held back a bit, after all, the other party was from Rong Junyuan, and was a senior in the Xuan Jia Heavy Cavalry, Lin Feng still wanted to join the Xuan Jia Heavy Cavalry, so he naturally couldn't hurt him to death.

  Lin Feng's speed was apparently beyond the man's expectations, and the man let out a painful hum, retreating several steps in a row before heavily sitting on the ground!

  The other four people seemed to have not seen that man's mistake, their facial expressions did not change at all, and their fists were still smashing towards Lin Feng!

  The fists of these four people all contained a faint murderous aura, and Lin Heng's moves were somewhat similar.

  "Not good!" Seeing that these people were not affected by their companion's injury, Lin Feng was shocked and quickly turned around, punching another man.

  The man's eyes were calm and cold, his fist collided heavily with Lin Feng's. "Ka Cha" a crisp sound, the entire arm had already drooped down.

  The man's expression didn't change at all, as if the one whose arm was severed wasn't himself. He actually charged towards Lin Feng!

  "Hmm!"

  Lin Feng's eyes flashed with anger, and he punched the man in the chest. If this punch landed, the man would surely die!

  That man's mouth corner showed a hint of mocking smile, and he continued to pounce on Lin Feng decisively, as if offering his chest to Lin Feng!

  "You're crazy!" Lin Feng was shocked and hastily withdrew his fist. The test was imminent, and he didn't want to kill an old soldier of the Mystic Armor Heavy Cavalry.

  "Haha!" The man smiled with a mischievous grin. Lin Feng suddenly came to his senses, but it was already too late!

  Just as he withdrew his fist, the fists of the other three men had arrived!

  Lin Feng exerted himself and twisted his body to dodge a Han man's fist, but the iron fists of two other Han men simultaneously smashed into his abdomen!

  "Hmm!" Lin Feng groaned in pain, taking several steps back, his body hunched over like a shrimp. The force of these two punches had caused his internal organs to shift, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

  "Kid, you lose!" The man who was first hit by Lin Feng laughed loudly at him.
