Chapter 154 Master of Self-Destruction
Lin Feng comforted Lin Wan'er in his arms, then hurriedly walked over to his father and took out a Devil Blood Pill, slipping it into his father's mouth.
This was a blood-qi pill refined by Lin Feng using the blood of the demon race through raging flames. It was specially designed to replenish human blood-qi, prolong life, and improve physical constitution.
"Father, this pill is very good for your health. Take it first."
How could Lin Qianjue suspect his own biological son? He tilted his head back and swallowed it down.
As soon as the pill entered his throat, it turned into a warm current that surged into his abdomen, spreading out in an instant. This warmth then rippled through his limbs and bones, and even the pain in his chest completely dissipated.
"Hmm? What kind of pill is this? The medicinal effect is so miraculous. Lin Feng, do you know the formula? If our Lin family's factories launch this kind of pill, wouldn't our rise be guaranteed!"
Lin Qianjue's thoughts were constantly occupied by the Lin family's business, which left Lin Feng between laughter and tears.
If they were to truly mass-produce this kind of pill, wouldn't they have to slaughter the entire demon race?
Lin Feng smiled bitterly and said, "Dad, I obtained this pill by chance. Besides, the medicinal effect of this pill is so domineering that it must require precious herbs to refine. How could it possibly be mass-produced?"
"That's true. It seems it really will be difficult for our Lin family to rise again!"
Lin Qianjue sighed and stood up with Lin Feng's support.
Seeing his father sighing despondently, Lin Feng smiled faintly and said,
"Dad, what's so difficult about rising again? Although I don't have the formula for the Devil Blood Pill, I have other formulas. While their medicinal effects cannot compare to the Devil Blood Pill, compared to other medicines currently on the market, they are simply worlds apart."
"Really? That's wonderful! Hurry up and write it down so I can study it and launch mass production as soon as possible. That way, our Lin family can take a step ahead in our rise!"
Hearing that Lin Feng had other formulas, Lin Qianjue, being an absolute medicine fanatic, immediately cast aside his disheveled state and eagerly questioned Lin Feng.
Lin Feng gave a slight, bitter smile, wondering when his old man had become so impatient.
"Dad, before that, we had better deal with Brother Long's matter first."
"Brother Long? This Zhang Aolong is quite influential in Linyun County and holds significant sway in both the underworld and legitimate circles. Dealing with him thoroughly won't be easy!"
"As the saying goes, a mighty dragon cannot suppress a local serpent. No matter how strong you are, it's not convenient to deal with him here in Linyun County!"
Lin Qianjue furrowed his brows slightly, glancing at Zhang Aolong, who was still coughing up blood on the ground, feeling caught in a dilemma for a moment.
Lin Feng, however, did not care at all. When all was said and done, Zhang Aolong was merely a small-town gang leader who didn't even have the qualifications to participate in the Five-Province Martial Arts Tournament. How could he possibly comprehend Lin Feng's might?
"Clap, clap, clap—"
Lin Feng raised his hands and gave a soft clap. From outside the Lin family gates, Gu Feng walked in wearing standard military attire.
"Lin Feng, leave such minor matters to me. Although the military cannot interfere in local affairs, we have the responsibility to report and temporarily detain individuals wanted for major international crimes."
As he spoke, Gu Feng took out his phone and scanned Zhang Aolong's face. A moment later, all of Zhang Aolong's files popped up on the screen.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Zhang Sanqiang, you've got quite a ferocious streak. You actually turned out to be a trusted confidant of Khun Sa, the Golden Triangle overlord. That old geezer Khun Sa was wiped out by the Tenglong Group, but you managed to escape. A bounty of one million—not a small sum."
"Lin Feng, don't argue with me over this one million. Given your assets, you probably wouldn't even care about it."
Gu Feng rubbed his hands together. Although he was doing quite well in the military, no one ever felt they had too much money.
Furthermore, this was practically a pie falling from the sky. This trip today was truly worth it!
"Lin Feng, I'll take him back first. You've just reunited with your father and relatives, and you must have a lot to say. It wouldn't be appropriate for an outsider like me to stick around."
Anxious to get back and collect the bounty, Gu Feng greeted Lin Feng and prepared to leave.
"Wait. I said I would cripple his legs, so naturally, I won't let him off this easily. Besides, with his legs crippled, it shouldn't affect you collecting the bounty, right?"
"Of course, it won't affect it at all. Do as you please, Lin Feng, just as long as you don't kill him!"
For the sake of the one million, Gu Feng was extremely accommodating. With a wave of his hand, he respectfully invited Lin Feng to do it quickly.
Lin Feng slowly walked up to Zhang Aolong, stepping closer with each stride, his gaze cold and indifferent as if he were looking at a corpse.
"Lin Feng! Grandmaster Lin! It was me who was blind, me who looked down on you with disdain! You are a great man, and a great man's heart can hold a boat—please spare me this once for the sake of my elderly parents and young children!"
"I'm begging you! I'm begging you!"
Kneeling on the ground, Zhang Aolong banged his forehead against the floor until it was covered in blood, pleading desperately with Lin Feng to spare him.
However, since this involved his father, how could Lin Feng possibly let him off?
Ever since his rebirth, Lin Feng had secretly sworn that he would never let go of anyone who dared to harm his family, friends, and loved ones; he would undoubtedly make them pay back a hundredfold!
Lin Feng slowly raised his foot, gently applying pressure with his toe as he ground it down onto Zhang Aolong's ankle.
"Ah—"
"My foot! My foot! Lin Feng, you just wait for me! Once I make a comeback in the jianghu, I'll slaughter your entire family and make your life a living hell!"
Zhang Aolong shrieked unceasingly, his face contorted as he roared fiercely and threatened Lin Feng.
"Oh? Slaughter my entire family? Make my life a living hell?"
A towering wave of killing intent rose from the ground like a sword piercing the sky, soaring straight into the heavens.
It was utterly spine-chilling. Even Gu Feng, a veteran who had experienced countless battlefields, felt his hair stand on end and a chill run down his spine.
What about my one million?!
Gu Feng decisively took action, slamming a kick straight into Zhang Aolong's stomach. The blow left Zhang Aolong's internal organs shaken and sent him vomiting a mouthful of blood, cutting his curses short instantly.
"Lin Feng, this bastard has gone crazy, don't listen to his nonsense! Handing trash like this over to the military guarantees his death. You mustn't get angry over a dead man!"
Gu Feng knew Lin Feng's character all too well; threatening his family was touching his inverse scale—it was outright courting death!
"If you damn well want to die, pick a better time! My one million is secured now, so do whatever you want with him afterwards! Shut your mouth for me right now!"
Gu Feng dragged the blood-covered Zhang Aolong back toward the Mengshi jeep. Inside the vehicle, Zhang Aolong continued to howl loudly, questioning:
"Who on earth are you? How do you know about the Tenglong Group? And what is going on with that Lin Feng? How did he become so terrifying after just a few years?!"
Gu Feng glanced at him sideways and said with disdain:
"With a mere nobody like you, you think you're worthy of knowing Lin Feng's identity? Heh, I can only tell you this: at the Five-Province Martial Arts Tournament, he used a single sword to execute the deacon of the Demon Luo Sect and the prime disciple of Xiong Wanhong, winning the championship of the tournament!"
"Hiss—"
Anyone moving in China's underground world could not possibly be ignorant of the Five-Province Martial Arts Tournament.
Furthermore, the Demon Luo Sect was an overlord in southern China, an organization that even the military did not take lightly.
Xiong Wanhong was an even greater martial arts master in the jianghu, on par with the Military God Yun Qianshang.
And all these people were connected to Lin Feng!
Lin Feng had dared to make enemies of these people, and had even executed these powerhouses who towered like giants, reigning supreme at the Five-Province Martial Arts Tournament!
That meant he was nothing less than the uncrowned king of the five coastal provinces!
The true king of the underground world!
At this thought, Zhang Aolong felt his throat go completely dry. He had actually been spouting utter nonsense right in front of such a terrifying figure!
Cold sweat instantly poured down in sheets. His scalp was tingling, and his legs turned weak. The way he had courted death just moments ago meant he had clearly walked right through the gates of the underworld and back!
