Water Ink Panel: Starting with Bow Technique to Hunt the Sun and Patrol the Skies

Chapter 131: Chapter 55: Crisis of Annihilation, Decisive Action

The hall fell silent, every person from Linfeng Hall hung their heads low, no one answered.

Boss of Mi Gang, Sun Tiangai, took in the scene of Linfeng Hall's dispirited people and couldn't help feeling a bit of satisfaction.

In truth, Li Linfeng probably didn't know that the tiger demon disaster that was half-created was actually a man-made calamity.

The reason it persisted for a month was because the county magistrate deliberately allowed it to.

It was all to trim down those Martial Arts Forces that had gained a bit of power.

It was a strategy to fatigue and weaken the populace.

Under his leadership, Mi Gang had boarded the county magistrate's large ship and escaped this disaster.

The other Martial Arts Halls and gangs of the county towns weren't so lucky.

Basically, the strength of the sects was cut by half, let alone Linfeng Hall, with whom he had a poor relationship.

With both intentional and unintentional pushes from him, promising great rewards, he had worn down the foundation that Li Linfeng had accumulated over the years, leading to the current situation.

It so happened that few years ago, he had taken a direct disciple, who was a natural martial talent.

Even without cultivating the Qi-Blood and raw strength within, he was already comparable to a martial master with Great Perfection of Qi and Blood, and after a few years of cultivation, his combat power was not inferior to his.

This time, he had brought him over to use Li Linfeng and his people as a stepping stone, to make this direct disciple famous and establish Mi Gang as the number one gang in Taiping County.

Boss of Mi Gang, Sun Tiangai, feigned anger and said, "Meng De, don't be presumptuous. After all, this is someone else's territory, you should be polite."

The burly Meng De showed a joking expression and said, "Master, the key point is that these guys from Linfeng Hall are all cowards, it's just no fun. In my opinion, Linfeng Hall is just all bark and no bite, should've closed down long ago."

"You..."

Hearing this, Li Lingchan, who stood behind Li Linfeng, went pale and then flushed, hardly able to restrain herself from charging out, but was held back by Ouyang Tiezhu next to her.

Meng De glanced at Li Lingchan and said, "I heard that Master Li's family has a tomboy who's got some Martial Arts talent. Must be this one right here, tsk tsk tsk... really is a coward, after all."

"You're looking for death!"

Li Lingchan shouted furiously, breaking free from under Ouyang Tiezhu and charged toward Meng De, pointing a finger.

With a smack,

Li Lingchan's finger touched Meng De's chest.

To her surprise, the flesh of the burly-faced man was as hard as real iron. Her finger didn't even break the skin.

Meng De's face showed a sneer and said, "Too weak!"

He swung a slap over.

With a smack,

a loud slap echoed in the inner courtyard.

Li Lingchan didn't understand what had happened when she felt the world spin, being thrown backward.

She completely stopped only after crashing into Ouyang Tiezhu.

Her hair was now disheveled, blood dripped from her mouth and nose, and her face showed utter bewilderment.

After a few moments, feeling the swelling on her face, Li Lingchan realized what had happened, and her beautiful eyes went completely blank.

Li Linfeng knew that Sun Tiangai had come for him this time.

He suddenly stepped forward, "If that's the case, why don't I exchange a few moves with your junior, but don't blame me for taking advantage of the younger ones if he dies."

The other party initiating a challenge was originally meant for peers to spar, and for him to intervene would be too embarrassing if word got out, but by now, there were no other options left.

Linfeng Hall had been pushed to this extent; at this rate, they would inevitably meet with disaster.

Pride was no longer important.

"Where there is life, there is hope; better to survive first," he thought.

Worst case scenario, if they couldn't make it in Taiping County, they would just move somewhere else and start over.

No sooner had his words fallen than Li Linfeng put his fingers together and fiercely jabbed forward.

To his slight surprise, upon seeing him strike, Boss of Mi Gang, Sun Tiangai, showed no sign of panic or anger.

Instead, he picked up a teacup, watching him as one would a comedy.

This sight made a foreboding intuition suddenly arise in his heart.

Pop!

He saw Meng De across from him let out a sinister laugh, his fan-like hand swiftly striking forward, and a crisp sound emerged out of the void.

He had actually dispersed Li Linfeng's qi with a single palm.

Then, under Li Linfeng's astonished gaze, Meng De suddenly took a leaping step and charged towards Li Linfeng.

Not only was Meng De's build considerable, but his speed in switching moves was also extremely fast.

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

The full-faced Meng De threw more than a dozen punches in one go, each punch steady in force and with plenty of follow-through strength.

After over a dozen moves, even Li Linfeng felt his arms going numb.

The Wind Defying Finger was not known for defense and strength, and the opponent's skin was far thicker and harder than his.

Watching the battle from the side, Boss of Mi Gang, Sun Tiangai, clapped his hands and laughed, "Master Li, over the years, has aged and declined, I didn't expect your strength to have regressed so much. You can't even defeat my closed-door disciple."

Li Linfeng's expression turned increasingly ugly, and at this moment, he remained silent, his mood growing more irritable.

Now, he realized that this Meng De's defensive ability was extremely exaggerated, a natural-born thickness of skin and flesh, gifted and unusual.

After years of studying Martial Arts, it became even more terrifying.

Techniques that could break steles and shatter rocks were utterly ineffective against him.

Having thought this, Li Linfeng's finger speed became incredibly swift, gradually only leaving trails of afterimages to be seen.

Yet, even so, he could do nothing against Meng De.

"Is this the famous Wind Defying Finger of Master Li?" Meng De provoked, "Master Li, you need to use your full strength. There is no need to hold back against a junior like me, I can take a beating."

Meng De's spirits rose as he fought, one punch following another, as if he never knew exhaustion, endlessly flowing.

Bang!

A metallic clashing noise suddenly erupted from within the inner courtyard square, creating an invisible ripple that spread outwards in all directions.

Li Linfeng actually staggered several steps backward before barely managing to stop, his face flushing red.

He gulped down something in his throat as if forcibly swallowing down something.

"It seems you're not that great of a master either," Meng De said with a taunting smile through his split teeth.

He looked towards everyone behind Linfeng Hall, and turning his head to Sun Tiangai, he said, "Master, I find a few of Li Linfeng's wives and daughters to be quite nice. I am willing to take them as my concubines to honor Master Li. I hope you will show mercy and let Li Linfeng off the hook, Master."

With that, he let out a lewd smirk, seemingly glancing at Li Linfeng both intentionally and unintentionally.

The strange tones of the master and disciple made Li Linfeng, who had managed to suppress the surge of blood, sweeten in his throat uncontrollably and vomit a mouthful of filthy blood.

"Father!"

"Master!"

"..."

The people of Linfeng Hall were thrown into chaos, their faces turning pale as paper.

As for those outer gate Disciples who had come to learn Martial Arts after paying upfront, they looked at each other, sharing a glance.

They already knew that from today onwards, Linfeng Hall was utterly finished.

Just as they were thinking of seeking another path, a figure suddenly appeared before everyone, leaping onto a Wooden Dummy.

His towering figure was not inferior to that of Meng De.

However, unlike Meng De, the muscles on his body seemed much more restrained. Explore more stories at m,v l'-NovelBin.net

"Junior Brother Shen!"

Ouyang Tiezhu recognized him immediately, not expecting Shen Qing to have returned so quickly.

Shen Qing turned around to see the disheveled state of Li Linfeng and frowned, "Master, your disciple is back! Please rest for a while, I will handle this matter."

Meng De looked him up and down and said, "You will handle it? Who are you, making such a bold claim!"

Shen Qing stepped forward, treading on the tiles of the inner courtyard without changing his expression, and said, "I am a direct disciple of Linfeng Hall, Shen Qing!"
