灵气崩坏：地球上最后一个修炼者

76

Ye Fan stared at the chaotic battlefield, his fists clenched tightly. Although he was eager to stay and fight alongside his father and Elder Yun, he knew that this was not the time for rash actions. Ye Fan swiftly turned and returned to the room where Hua Yunfei was. "Hua Academician...""No need for further words, I already understand," Hua Yunfei said solemnly."Understood!"Ye Fan suppressed the excruciating pain from his wounds, lifted Hua Yunfei onto his back, and with Xiao Qing and Wang Yuexuan supporting them, the quartet hurriedly made their way out."Trying to leave?" The black-clad figure would not allow them to escape so easily. "Get out of my way!"The figure forcefully repelled Yun Zhongtian and then, without hesitation, struck at Hua Yunfei with his sword.Hua Yunfei was the target! He could not be allowed to escape!The dazzling sword light cut through the darkness, illuminating the terrified faces of Ye Fan, Wang Yuexuan, and the others.This strike was overwhelmingly powerful; they were utterly incapable of countering it!In this critical moment, Ye Tianlong leaped from the side with all his might, intercepting the blade. Yet, he was sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground."Buzz~"Ye Tianlong sprang up, back turned to the others, panting heavily, blood dripping between his fingers. His voice was grave as he said, "Xiao Fan, there are no cowards in the Ye family! If Hua Academician falls, so will you!""Father!!!"Ye Fan, overwhelmed by grief at his father's desolate figure, was unable to hold back his tears."Wang Yuexuan, we're leaving!!!"Ye Fan wiped his tears with determination, shouting as he sprinted out with Hua Yunfei.As they barely crossed the threshold, the sounds of fierce fighting erupted behind them.Faintly, they could hear the resolute voices of Ye Tianlong and Yun Zhongtian:"If you wish to pursue them, you will have to step over our dead bodies!"......Elsewhere.In the presidential suite of the Jinling Grand Hotel.Lin Feng was leisurely watching the domestic animation "Calabash Brothers" with his daughter, enjoying the rare moments of peace."Daddy, why are there seven Calabash Brothers? That's not scientific..."Little Lian Lian looked up with wide, curious eyes.Lin Feng pondered for a moment before replying, "That's a tale that begins with the story of the Monkey King stealing the peaches from the Peachtree Garden and the Seven Fairies...""A tragic love story between the Monkey King and the Seven Fairies? I want to hear it!" Little Lian Lian said eagerly."Ahem~" Lin Feng was about to speak when Chen Yinuo lightly cleared her throat, rolling her eyes.Lin Feng's face flushed with embarrassment as he ruffled his daughter's hair and said, "You'll understand this story better when you grow up!""But I'm already grown up!" Little Lian Lian pouted in displeasure.Lin Feng was about to respond when the door to the room was suddenly pounded on from outside."Bang bang bang!!""Bang bang bang!!"The knocking was intense, and there were faint cries for help."Could it be another assassin?" Chen Yinuo said nervously.Given the recent events involving the Windwalker, it was hard not to jump to that conclusion.Lin Feng scanned with his spiritual senses and found that Wang Yuexuan, Ye Fan, and their companions were outside.Frowning, Lin Feng went to open the door.Seeing Lin Feng, Wang Yuexuan immediately burst into tears of relief, saying, "Young Master Lin! Wuwu... It's such a blessing to see you now! Wuwu...""Young Master Lin, do you remember me? We met earlier at the zoo," Ye Fan said with a strained smile.Hua Yunfei and Xiao Qing remained silent, merely observing Lin Feng."Given your disheveled state, you haven't come here seeking refuge from a pursuit, have you?" Lin Feng asked."Young Master Lin, you're right on the mark!" Wang Yuexuan quickly explained the recent events.Pointing to Hua Yunfei, he added excitedly, "Young Master Lin, this is Academician Hua, a pillar of our Great Xia Kingdom! You must protect him at all costs!"Lin Feng glanced at Hua Yunfei with a hint of surprise. He was familiar with the name; he had learned from the Windwalker's memories that these assassins had targeted Hua Yunfei. He had expected Hua Yunfei to be a formidable warrior, but instead, he appeared to be an ordinary person, seemingly gravely ill."Sorry for the trouble, Mr. Lin," Hua Yunfei said, nodding slightly.Lin Feng looked at the group with a calm demeanor and said, "Coming here in the dead of night without considering that I might not be up to the task... have you thought about how this might jeopardize me?""Or what if I happened to be out tonight and only my wife and daughter were here... Would you have condemned me?"The question left everyone stunned.It was something they hadn't considered at all!They knew Lin Feng was powerful and that he was their only hope against the formidable assassins, so they had come here."Sorry, Young Master Lin! We didn't think it through!" "I heard from Tan Tianhong of the San Kou Hall that you need spiritual explosive talismans? I can get you a hundred! I only hope you can hold off the assassins!" Wang Yuexuan suddenly said."Have you misunderstood my point? I was merely stating a fact!" Lin Feng raised an eyebrow.To his surprise, Wang Yuexuan was so considerate!"No matter the misunderstanding, you deserve this, Young Master Lin! Serving the nation, the nation will not neglect you!" Wang Yuexuan said earnestly."Since you've said so, I'll help you this time! But next time, don't lead enemies to my doorstep! Otherwise, the enemy may not be the only threat, I could become one too!" Lin Feng said calmly.For some reason, Wang Yuexuan and the others felt a shiver at these words.At that moment, a series of heavy footsteps echoed down the corridor.Soon after, a black-clad figure appeared before them.The figure held a golden longsword, the blood on the blade still fresh, dripping onto the floor in chilling drops."It's him... he's here!" Wang Yuexuan's voice trembled with terror.Ye Fan gritted his teeth, his body shaking. The quick arrival of the black-clad assassin meant that his father and Elder Yun had likely fallen. The thought was unbearable, as if his heart were bleeding, making it hard for him to breathe.Hua Yunfei, supported by Xiao Qing, also looked pale. Was this really the end for them?The black-clad figure's cold eyes scanned the group before settling on Lin Feng. Noting Lin Feng's lack of any visible martial aura, the assassin's gaze shifted away with a derisive smile."Escape? Can you escape from me? A bunch of ants, no one can save you tonight!""What about my father and Elder Yun?" Ye Fan demanded, his eyes red with rage."Who do you think killed them?" the assassin mocked with a sneer."You killed my father and Elder Yun?" Ye Fan's fists tightened, his eyes bloodshot and his breathing rapid."Don't rush. You'll soon join them!" the assassin said coldly.In an instant, the assassin moved with ghostly speed, leaving several afterimages in the air. In less than a second, he was before them, his sword slicing down with deadly force.Wang Yuexuan's face turned ashen, his eyes closing in terror as he almost screamed.At that moment, Lin Feng's fingers shot out, effortlessly catching the assassin's sword between them. With a slight flick, he sent the assassin flying back, who staggered a dozen steps before stabilizing himself.Seeing this, Ye Fan's pupils contracted, his heart in turmoil. A killer of such formidable strength had been easily repelled by Lin Feng? Despite having seen Lin Feng's power earlier, he had not expected it to reach such a level!Hua Yunfei's eyes flickered with realization. The person who had withstood the plane crash was indeed Lin Feng!Wang Yuexuan's expression of relief turned into one of joy. He sighed deeply and hid behind Lin Feng, exclaiming, "Young Master Lin, you're truly powerful and fierce!""Stop flattering me. Remember, you owe me a hundred spiritual explosive talismans!" Lin Feng said flatly."Rest assured, the Martial Dao Alliance never defaults!" Wang Yuexuan quickly nodded. Though he couldn't personally gather a hundred talismans, the Martial Dao Alliance could.The assassin, now regaining his composure, glared at Lin Feng with cold eyes. He clearly hadn't anticipated that this seemingly weak young man could repel him so easily."Who are you to meddle in matters that don't concern you?" the assassin demanded."Are you by any chance surnamed Ma?" Lin Feng asked.The assassin's eyes narrowed at the question. Without responding, he swung his sword in a cross pattern."Cross Void Slash!"A terrifying cross-shaped sword energy roared towards Lin Feng."Be careful!" Ye Fan warned urgently. He remembered how Elder Yun had been easily injured by a similar attack not long ago.However, the cross-shaped sword energy, capable of shattering yellow limestone, halted a meter in front of Lin Feng, unable to advance further, and then dissipated into nothingness."Why can't you answer questions properly?" Lin Feng said calmly, and in the blink of an eye, he vanished from his spot.The next moment, he appeared right in front of the assassin."Dragon Break Void Slash!"The assassin's expression changed slightly. He gripped his sword with both hands, channeling all his energy into a powerful downward slash. In the air, a dragon's roar echoed, and the sword energy formed a ferocious golden dragon head that lunged at Lin Feng."Bang!"Lin Feng merely tapped the dragon head with his finger, shattering it easily, and then effortlessly seized the golden sword from the assassin's grasp."A sword isn't meant to be wielded like this!" Lin Feng said, spinning the sword 360 degrees.Thousands of sharp sword shadows appeared, hovering around Lin Feng, exuding a chilling aura.Everyone present was stunned, their faces frozen in shock. Wang Yuexuan, Ye Fan, Hua Yunfei, and Xiao Qing were all in disbelief, feeling as if they were paralyzed.What was this? The Sword Formation?"You..." The black-clad assassin could hardly accept the scene before him. Who was this young man?A single sword could conjure thousands of illusions, each with terrifying power. Even a Sword Demon of the Martial Dao Master realm would struggle to achieve this!Then, the assassin seemed to realize something and exclaimed in horror, "Did you kill Gui Ying and Windwalker?""So you're all from the same faction," Lin Feng said.The assassin's entire body shivered. The young man was too powerful! He had to return quickly and request stronger assassins from his organization, or the consequences would be dire!"Smoke Escape!!"The assassin abruptly pulled out a black ball from his pocket and threw it on the ground. Instantly, he vanished in a cloud of smoke."This is a ninja technique! This assassin must be from the Yamato!" Ye Fan exclaimed in shock.Lin Feng was somewhat surprised. The smoke escape technique was indeed clever, similar to Taoist magical escapes, likely copied from the Yamato.If it were anyone else, the assassin might have gotten away, but he had met Lin Feng!"Come out!" Lin Feng gently grasped at the void, and the vanished black-clad assassin was pulled back into view.This time, Lin Feng wasted no time. He used his Soul Searching Technique on the assassin.The assassin shivered, his eyes turning white as he slumped lifelessly."Yamata Group!" Lin Feng muttered to himself.This assassin, Ma Dongfeng, was also known as Inokawa Kojirou in Yamato, a skilled swordsman and a member of the Yamata Group.The Yamata Group, like the Celestial Demon, was a notorious foreign assassin organization. While the Celestial Demon rarely extended its reach into the domestic arena, the Yamata Group frequently sent assassins to target skilled individuals in the Great Xia Kingdom to hinder its strength.Additionally, Lin Feng learned from Inokawa Kojirou's memories that there was another super expert from Yamato in Jinling City tonight.This person, known as the Sword Demon, was a Martial Dao Master with formidable strength. Tonight, the Sword Demon was responsible for intercepting the Southern Law Enforcer Long Aotian, while Inokawa was tasked with killing Hua Yunfei.Just then, Ye Fan approached and removed the mask from the black-clad assassin's face. Upon seeing the face, he was incredulous. "It's Ma Dongfeng, the Law Enforcer Ma!"Wang Yuexuan and the others were equally shocked. Ma Dongfeng was an enforcer from Jinghang City. Why was he here to assassinate them and even knew ninja techniques?"He may appear to be from the Great Xia Kingdom, but he is actually from Yamato!" Lin Feng said as he checked Ma Dongfeng's body but found no spiritual stones.Disappointed, Lin Feng tossed the body aside and kicked it."Damn it! A traitor! I'll make sure this bastard pays!" Wang Yuexuan charged forward, beating Ma Dongfeng in a fit of rage."If you had shown even half the courage you have now, I might have respected you a bit," Lin Feng said with a cold smile.Wang Yuexuan gave an awkward laugh and said nothing.At that moment, urgent footsteps echoed from the end of the corridor. Long Aotian, along with the wounded Yun Zhongtian and Ye Tianlong, rushed in.
