Chapter 434: Great Satisfaction!
Chapter 434: Great Satisfaction!
Upon hearing the man in green's shouting, Ling Feng's gaze shifted from Mo Lin to the idiot.
This guy truly was an idiot. Even Mo Lin didn't intimidate him, yet this man somehow believed he could act arrogantly in front of Ling Feng.
Ling Feng hadn't even moved to teach him a lesson, yet the man had already started barking.
"Big Brother, he's a bad man. Ling'er[1] is scared," a weak voice sounded from Ling Feng's embrace. The little girl, as delicate as a porcelain doll, looked timidly at the man in green. However, with Ling Feng as her protector, she gathered some courage, gnashed her silver teeth, and angrily said, "Big Brother, teach him a lesson for me!"
Ling Feng smiled. Who would've thought that a little girl of about five or six would have such spirit and not be frightened by Mo Lin and his associates?
This little girl must've come from an extraordinary background.
"Don't be afraid." Ling Feng pinched her small nose and glanced at the man in green. With a light smile, he said, "How about I let you stomp on him later? Do you dare?"
"I dare!" The little girl named Ling'er nodded vigorously while pouting. "My auntie said bad people should be stomped on!"
"Haha, your auntie is right," Ling Feng laughed heartily, further enraging the man in green.
"Stomp on me? Let's see who stomps whom!"
Lu Shaocong's brows furrowed as he drew his weapon. With his true qi circulating, he lunged at Ling Feng.
Before anyone could react, a cry of pain rang out. The previously aggressive Lu Shaocong was already being stomped into the bluestone pavement by Ling Feng.
The solid bluestone slabs had a big hole smashed in them by Lu Shaocong's face!
Just looking at it made people's faces hurt!
The ordinary folks around were overjoyed. These nobles had never treated them as human beings. Seeing Lu Shaocong stomped into the ground like a dead dog filled their hearts with glee.
"Well stomped!"
Someone couldn't help but shout before quickly covering their mouth and shrinking back into the crowd.
But the next moment, all the common people raised their hands and shouted, "Well stomped! Well stomped!"
The pent-up anger of everyday life was released all at once, and the crowd became fervent!
The guards tasked with protecting these nobles quickly drew their weapons, blocking the people while shouting, "You wretches, are you trying to rebel?"
"Rebel? Standing up against you self-important scoundrels is rebellion?"
A flash of cold light appeared in Ling Feng's eyes. The aura of his Lingtian Sword Force unfolded, sweeping across the scene. The guards were so terrified that their legs went soft. It was as if they had fallen into the depths of hell, making them shiver with fear.
"Neigh!"
The demonic horses ridden by the nobles were also frightened. They became restless and tried to break free from their owners' control, neighing and roaring madly.
Mo Lin's mouth twitched. In just over a month, this kid has already become so formidable!
If he originally had some courage to act under Ling Feng's aura, now he didn't even dare to think about it.
He looked sympathetically at Lu Shaocong who was lying on the ground like a dead dog. Clenching his fists, he signaled the guards to withdraw and said in a deep voice, "I won't interfere in this matter anymore!"
"Wha... What!?"
Lu Shaocong shivered in fear upon hearing Mo Lin's words, feeling as if he had fallen into icy water.
The young prince who feared nothing and rampaged through the imperial capital is actually cowering before a young man of unknown origin!
"Let's go!"
Mo Lin clenched his fists tightly, choosing not to confront Ling Feng directly. He still remembered the sting of those slaps from Ling Feng. Now, Ling Feng's strength far surpassed his own. Even if all the guards attacked together, they might not be able to protect him.
Mo Lin was no longer a complete man. He couldn't afford to be beaten by Ling Feng again for the sake of Lu Shaocong. That would completely disgrace his royal dignity.
Soon, Mo Lin boarded the dragon carriage, taking his guards and those aristocratic brats with him, and left in disgrace.
"Good! Very good!"
The angry citizens immediately surrounded Lu Shaocong, glaring at him and cursing vehemently.
"You scoundrel, you think you're special just because you were born lucky! You call us lowly commoners, but without us, you pampered rich kids would have nothing to eat or live in!"
"Bah! Just because you have a bit of money doesn't mean you can trample on others' dignity!" A burly man threw the crystal notes he had snatched onto Lu Shaocong. "You bastard! Son of a bitch!"
...
They were usually the ones being bullied, but now, someone finally stood up for them.
Lu Shaocong, covered in curses, felt utter despair. Mo Lin had abandoned him just like that. He didn't know what his fate would be.
Ling Feng stepped on Lu Shaocong's face, making his head bleed, and said coldly, "Life has no hierarchy. You consider yourself noble, but now you're under my foot, no different from an ant!"
"Brat, you'll regret this! You'll regret this!"
Lu Shaocong cursed through gritted teeth. Ling Feng applied more pressure with his foot to keep him pinned down. He gently put Ling'er down and asked, "Ling'er, I asked if you dared to step on him. Now that he's here, do you dare?"
"I..." The kind-hearted child hesitated, seeing Lu Shaocong's bloody face. She softly said, "But Big Brother, isn't he in a lot of pain?"
Ling Feng shook his head and smiled, patting her head. "Alright, for Ling'er's sake, I'll let you off today."
With that, Ling Feng lifted his foot and kicked Lu Shaocong aside.
"Remember this, brat!"
Lu Shaocong was quite tough. He actually managed to stand up after being kicked by Ling Feng. He glared at Ling Feng, knowing he was no match, spat out a threat, and tried to leave.
"Did I say you could go?"
Ling Feng sneered and moved like lightning, shooting three golden needles into Lu Shaocong's acupoints. With a thud, Lu Shaocong fell to his knees. He then clutched his eyes and wailed, "My eyes! I can't see! I can't see!"
"Not only are you blind, but you'll lose all your cultivation within three days, and your pain will be magnified tenfold!" Ling Feng grinned, looking at the common people. "Ling'er is kind-hearted and won't pursue this, but the people here are also victims. Whether they forgive you or not, I don't know."
With a hint of a smile, Ling Feng raised his voice and said, "Everyone, this guy is now blind and has lost his cultivation. If you want revenge, what are you waiting for?"
For a moment, the angry citizens looked at each other and contemplated. Finally, a butcher couldn't hold back. He raised his fist and punched Lu Shaocong in the face.
"Ah!"
Lu Shaocong screamed like a slaughtered pig. The pain was magnified tenfold, making the punch feel like his eggs were crushed.
With the first punch thrown, the second and third soon followed...
The furious crowd surged forward, no longer holding back and overwhelmed Lu Shaocong.
What awaited him was a relentless storm of fists!
