Chapter 97 Yu Shan's Love
Chang Xi pushed the wheelchair, and the two of them strolled in the garden of the sanatorium. Smelling the fragrance of the flowers and plants in the garden and feeling the slight breeze, both of them felt unanimously blissful.
"Yu Shan, tell me about the battlefield again."
Chang Xi did not deny that she was attracted by Yu Shan's heroic stories. She had lived in an intellectual family since she was young, and was a dutiful daughter at home. When she grew up, she followed the prescribed path and became a nurse.
Almost every step was arranged by the elders in her family. However, deep down, she yearned to see the outside world. She was only more fascinated by those martial artists who fought valiantly in the Outland.

When Yu Shan appeared, he naturally tugged at the strings in the depths of Chang Xi's heart.
"Let's talk about Dragon Mountain Base, then. I wasn't outstanding back then, and was just an ordinary martial artist in Dragon Mountain Base…"
Yu Shan began to tell his story again. He talked about the merit rankings, about Shui Yuansheng and Gao Tianci, about Lin Feng, and about that great battle.
Even though this was not the first time Chang Xi had heard this story, she still listened with relish. Her large eyes were fixated on Yu Shan in the wheelchair.
This ordinary-looking man who had even lost his legs was once a powerful martial artist and a hero!
"By the way, is the Lin Feng you mentioned the hero who saved Dragonlith City on television previously?" Chang Xi couldn't help but ask.
The matter of parasitic dire beasts in Dragonlith City had long caused an uproar throughout the world. How could she not know? There was even a time when she idolized Lin Feng, that young, handsome martial artist who turned the tide.
This was something that was so distant from her that their paths would never cross. Unexpectedly, Yu Shan knew Lin Feng.
"Yes, that's him. Speaking of which, he was the one who saved my life. He became a great hero, broke the genetic lock, and fulfilled his dream, while I could only become a cripple in a wheelchair…"
At the mention of Lin Feng, Yu Shan was very envious. Wasn't his dream just like Lin Feng's back then?

There was a trace of sadness in Yu Shan's heart, but soon, a pair of soft and warm hands held his hand. Chang Xi said softly, "No, you're not a cripple. You're a great hero in my heart!"
A faint fragrance came from the girl's body, and a gentle voice lingered in his ears. At this moment, Yu Shan felt himself falling. He only felt that the girl in front of him was an angel, and the smile on her face was so warm.
"I'll leave the sanatorium in a few days. I want to take you home to see my family." Yu Shan mustered his courage to say this to the girl.
Chang Xi was slightly taken aback, but then she lowered her head. A smile appeared on her lips as she replied in a soft voice, "All right."
"Yu Shan, what are you going to do after you leave the sanatorium? Do you have any thoughts?"
Although Chang Xi was not a snobbish girl, she still hoped that Yu Shan had something to do so that he could cheer up.

Yu Shan said confidently, "I've already thought it through. Although my legs are immobile, I've been fighting with dire beasts at the frontline for so many years. I have many martial artist friends and some connections. When the time comes, I'll open a transportation company that specializes in transporting goods to the frontline. With my connections, I believe it won't be a problem."
Indeed, Yu Shan had thought a lot during this period of time. Whether it was facing his future life or giving Chang Xi a stable life, he had to shoulder the responsibility and pull himself together.
Using his network to open a transportation company and travel between the frontline and human cities was almost a guaranteed profitable business. Many martial artists who left the frontline were actually in this profession. As long as he familiarized himself with it for a period of time, it would definitely not be a problem.
"Since you've thought it through, I'll support you!"
Chang Xi smiled as well. Both of them were filled with joy and were immersed in blissful love.
Three days later, Yu Shan was discharged. He also brought his girlfriend, Chang Xi, home.
The two of them had officially confirmed their relationship. Yu Shan also fulfilled his promise and brought Chang Xi home to meet his family.
Yu Shan's home was a luxurious villa in Stone City. Yu Shan had worked hard at the Dragon Mountain Base over the years, and sent almost all his money back to his family. He had even sent the compensation for his injuries this time back to his family.
Other than his parents, Yu Shan had a younger brother and sister. His family members were relatively simple.

In the past, Yu Shan's family was very poor. He was practically the entire family's only hope. Yu Shan did not disappoint his family either. He had talent in martial arts and practiced martial arts independently. Eventually, he went to the frontline as a mere Grade Seven martial artist.
Yu Shan was also very lucky. He arrived at the Dragon Mountain Base after going to the frontline. As he worked hard, he became stronger and stronger. In the end, he became an influential figure in Dragon Mountain Base, suppressing countless geniuses from the Myriad Academy.
Later, Yu Shan enrolled in Myriad Academy as a student through self-funding. In fact, it was just a formality. Then, he applied to go to the Dragon Mountain Base. From then on, he excelled.
This was until the last battle, when he was saved by Lin Feng. Although he survived, he lost his legs and had no choice but to return to his hometown.

Therefore, Yu Shan was basically the only one holding out for this family. When he risked his life at the Dragon Mountain Base, he had lost count of how many times he had been in danger. It was by relying on his conviction for his family did he hold out.
"Dad, Mom, this is Chang Xi, my girlfriend."
"Chang Xi, these are my parents. That's my second brother and my little sister."
Yu Shan had naturally contacted his parents before returning, so the family wasn't surprised.

Chang Xi appeared very well-mannered and nice, so the family was rather harmonious.
After all these years of living in wealth, Mr. and Mrs. Yu had long become portly. Although the second son was dressed appropriately, he seemed a little listless, and his gaze was slightly "sharp".
On the other hand, perhaps because the youngest sister was also a woman and their ages were close, she got along with Chang Xi.
After the family finished their meal, Chang Xi brought and his youngest sister went to the garden. Yu Shan, his parents, and the second son Yu Shui were the only ones in the house.
"Dad, Mom, my legs are already crippled. I won't be able to become a martial artist in the future. Therefore, after I'm discharged from the hospital, I want to do something and open a company myself. How much money do I have left with you? Let me do some calculations and see what scale I can attain."
Yu Shan explained his thoughts. He had even thought that hard endeavors were best performed in unison by family members. Since he wanted to open a company, and he had trouble with mobility, he might as well rope his second brother into it. The two brothers could make a name for themselves together.
This way, even if he was no longer a martial artist, opening a company would still make money, and the family could live without worries.
However, after he suggested opening a company, his parents' expressions changed slightly and became a little unnatural.

Chapter 98 Bitter Disappointment
Mr. and Mrs. Yu's expressions were a little unnatural. Sensing that something was up, Yu Shan frowned and asked, "Dad, Mom, is there a problem?"
"Yu Shan, your legs are already crippled. Why are you still going out to start a company? Isn't that very tiring? Why don't you recuperate at home? The money you earned in the past is enough for our family to live a rich life. You want to marry that girl, right? We'll agree to
it."
Father Yu said "sincerely", but Yu Shan was not stupid. He vaguely sensed that there was something wrong with his parents' expressions.
"Dad, Mom, how much money do you have left from the funds I asked you to manage?"
"Not… not much. Just a few million…"
Mr. and Mrs. Yu stammered while Yu Shan's expression changed drastically.
"How is that possible? I've given you a large sum of money almost annually all these years. Even by a rough estimate, I've given you more than 10 billion yuan! How can there only be a few million left? Dad, Mom, where did all this money go?"
Yu Shan was very angry. All these years, he had selflessly helped his family. He would give his parents whatever they wanted. The affluent life of his family was all provided for by him.
He had put his life on the line at the frontline, without regrets.
However, being without regrets did not mean that he was foolish. It did not mean that he could be indifferent about the money. One had to know that the money included a large sum that was compensation for his decisive battle at the frontline. This was money he earned with his life!
Mr. Yu and Mrs. Yu stammered, not knowing what to do. Finally, Mr. Yu said cautiously, "Shanzi, the money you sent us is indeed a lot, but we don't know how to manage money and speculated in stocks, so we lost it all…"
Before he could finish speaking, Yu Shan smiled coldly, "Dad, Mom, can you believe your own tale? Whether there's a deficit would be uncovered once it's investigated. Dad, Mom, what exactly is going on?"
Yu Shan was even somewhat disappointed. What did his parents do behind his back? A sum of ten billion yuan was enough for an ordinary person to live affluently for ten lifetimes.
All he wanted to do was start a company. The initial investment would require only about one billion. No matter how his parents squandered the money, this small amount of money should definitely be available. Moreover, he knew his parents well. They weren't the kind of people who would spend recklessly.
At this moment, the second brother, Yu Shui, who had a sinister look in his eyes, stood up. He said indolently, "Dad, Mom, stop lying. You can't fool big brother. After all, big brother worked hard to earn this money. Even if it's gone, you have to tell him the truth." Yu Shan suddenly had a bad feeling. This was his second brother, the younger brother who was both familiar and a stranger to him. Back when he left home to go to the frontline, his younger brother was still in high school. He was just a little brat who caused trouble all the time.
And now, his second brother had grown up. Yu Shan felt like he was a stranger.
"Second brother, what's going on?"
Yu Shui smiled and said, "My dear brother, can't you tell? All that money is mine, including this villa and all the cars in our family. Also, the top-notch sanatorium you're living in-I'm paying for all of it!
"Your money? What do you mean?"
"You still don't get it? Dad and Mom have no money anymore. All the money you sent home over the years—was it 10 billion or 20 billion? I'm not sure myself, but I've transferred every sum under my own name. In other words, all the money in the family is mine now, and has nothing to do with big brother at all." "This is impossible. Dad, Mom, this is impossible!"
Yu Shan's face was ashen, and his eyes were bloodshot. He glared at his parents, wanting to hear their refutation.
How did the money he worked with his life to give his parents become his second brother's money?
Mr. Yu heaved a long sigh and said, "Shanzi, the two of us are useless. It's all because of our bastard second son. He used every means he could to get us to transfer the money to him for investment, but he cheated us of all the money. You were not at home, so there was nothing we could do." Yu Shan gritted his teeth and said, "Nothing you could do? Dad, Mom, you could have contacted me back then. I could have returned at any time from the Outland. Why didn't you contact me? Did you just allow second brother to swindle all the money?"
Mr. Yu said in a panic, "Shanzi, I didn't dare to tell you at that time. You're a martial artist and you were at the frontline. If you come back and kill your brother, that'd be a great disaster. Familial harmony brings prosperity to everything. I just wanted to let things be for the meantime. By the time you return, we would also have scrimped and saved some money so that you can live without problems." "Heh, a few millions from scrimping and saving? That's my money, the money I risked my life to earn! Second brother, no matter what methods you used to cheat Dad and Mom of the money, I sent this money to Dad and Mom. There's always a trace. You have to return whatever you took! Otherwise, once I apply in court, it'll be useless even if you return it."
Yu Shan's heart was bleeding. He was very disappointed, in his parents, his second brother, and this whole family. His parents might weak and ignorant, but in reality, they were also biased towards his second brother.
Otherwise, how could second brother cheat his parents of the money time and time again?
Yu Shan was bitterly disappointed. He had risked his life at the frontline just to provide his family with good living conditions, but he never expected his parents and brother to be plotting against him. These were the people closest to him!
However, the second brother, Yu Shui, seemed totally unconcerned. He curled his lips and said, "Big brother, do you think I'd leave a trace when doing these things? The money has long been transferred to my secret account. After countless transactions, it has long been laundered. No matter how you investigate, this money would be earned by me through legitimate means.
"Actually, big brother, I really respect you. It'd be wonderful if you could have stayed at the frontline all the time. You could keep earning money, non-stop, and I could also do my best to be filial to Dad and Mom. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?".
"Second brother, you really disgust me! Did I let you down? I'm not your cash cow!"
Yu Shan gritted his teeth. If his legs were not crippled, he would even want to punch his second brother to death. This was no longer his family.
"Big brother, this may be the last time I'm calling you big brother. Actually, it's quite a good thing that you're crippled. The money you earned is enough for me to splurge my entire life. If you were still a martial artist, it would probably be somewhat difficult for me to pocket the money for myself. But now, you're just a cripple. What's there for me to be afraid of? Brutes are just brutes. Since we were young, you were smarter than me, stronger than me, and even became a martial artist. But so what? Everything still ended up mine."
"On account of your pitiful state, I'll give you five million yuan. Leave this place and don't even think about getting back all your money. If you don't believe me, you can try."
Yu Shui's sinister gaze was deeply unsettling, and the living room fell into a terrible silence.
After a long while, when Chang Xi and the youngest sister returned to the living room, it was to see both parties at each other's throats. "Chang Xi, let's go!" Yu Shan did not argue. His expression even instantly recovered its calm. However, behind that calmness, there appeared to be a brewing storm that made one's heart tremble.
Although Chang Xi did not know what had happened, she did not ask at a time like this. Instead, she pushed Yu Shan out of the villa.
Mr. Yu heaved a long sigh. "We've let Shanzi down! Second son, you've already gotten what you wanted. Don't make things difficult for your brother." "Dad, don't worry. Big brother will give in after a few failed attempts. I won't do anything to him. On the contrary, I'll give him money so that he can live out the rest of his life in a decent manner. After all, he's already a cripple…"
The second son opened a bottle of red wine, swirled the glass in his hand, and took a sip. His expression was very relaxed.

Chapter 99 Depressed
Yu Shan left without a word. Chang Xi did not ask anything
The two of them returned to the sanatorium. Yu Shan suddenly said, "Xiaoxi, why didn't you ask me what happened?"
Chang Xi smiled and said, "If you want to tell me, you'll tell me."
Yu Shan fell silent, but his fists tightened. He briefly explained what had happened. A hint of anger appeared in Chang Xi's eyes, but she quickly recovered her composure. "Yu Shan, even though this matter is very unfair to you, you still have me. Since your younger brother has done this, he must be prepared. It'll be fine as long as we don't interact with your brother in the future."
Chang Xi did not seem to care about Yu Shan's enormous wealth at all. In her eyes, Yu Shan was the most important.
Yu Shan took Chang Xi's hand, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Don't worry, second brother doesn't have the capability to hide the truth from everyone. I'll investigate and lodge a complaint. What belongs to me will definitely be mine. Besides, I can't let you suffer with me."
Yu Shan clenched his fists tightly. He couldn't accept this. He had fought so hard for so many years, but in the end, he was schemed against by the person closest to him. It was all for nothing. How could Yu Shan possibly accept this?
The next day, Yu Shan began to investigate the bank. He even hired a private detective to assist in the investigation. However, in the end, he discovered that it was just as his second brother had said. Yu Shui "deceived" his parents into making various "investments" in various ways. Then, the money went down the drain and was transferred to Yu Shui in a complicated manner.
Even if Yu Shan proved that he was the one who sent the money to his parents, it was useless. Yu Shan's parents had the right to manage the money. It did not mean anything if they used it in the investment and lost everything with no returns.
Yu Shui's power lay in his ability to convince his parents to willingly mobilize the money to make a "legitimate investment", but they actually fell into Yu Shui's trap.
In a fit of anger, Yu Shan even sued Yu Shui. However, at the stage of evidence in court, Yu Shan could not produce any strong evidence, so Yu Shan naturally lost the case.
"Yu Shan, I've already told you. No matter what you do, it's useless."
Yu Shui stared coldly at Yu Shan, his expression filled with derision. In fact, he was very carefree inside. Since they were young, Yu Shan had practically lived in the shadow of his eldest brother, Yu Shan. Yu Shan was older than him, smart, and very filial. He led the family and provided for his family early on.
Without the help of his family, Yu Shan became a martial artist by himself. He even made a name for himself in the Outland, causing the entire Yu family to break free from poverty and enter the upper class.
However, Yu Shui did not engage in honest work and was looked down upon by his parents. Hence, Yu Shui was very jealous. Gradually, his jealousy even turned into hatred. Hence, he began to plan to take all the money in the family, the wealth his eldest brother Yu Shan had risked his life to earn, for himself.
Although his parents did not think highly of Yu Shui, he had one advantage, and that was that he stayed by his parents' side all year round. On the other hand, in order to provide a better life for his family, Yu Shan might not return home once in a few years.
This gave Yu Shui a chance. He put up a show in front of his parents, and even tempted his parents to invest step by step. As a result, all the money ended up in his hands.
Sometimes, Yu Shui was also very afraid that his eldest brother would suddenly return. He had been very afraid of his eldest brother since he was young, especially since Yu Shan was a powerful martial artist. If Yu Shan came back and learned what he had done, even if Yu Shui had planned everything, what was the use? Yu Shan was free to use his influence and connections to make Yu Shui spit out the money obediently.
Fortunately, Yu Shan was severely injured at the frontline. Although he wasn't dead, he was crippled. Yu Shan was no longer that omnipotent martial artist with despairing strength.
The so-called connections were no longer useful after Yu Shan was crippled. As long as Yu Shui bribed them with a large sum of money, even the Professional Martial Arts Association would not stand up for Yu Shan.
After all, this matter was still a "family matter" of the Yu family. Outsiders could not justifiably interfere.
After a few days, Yu Shan was exhausted and disheartened. When he went to ask for help, he could feel the disdain in their eyes. Perhaps there was a trace of pity as well, but what was the use?
He was no longer a powerful martial artist. He was just a cripple who had lost both his legs.
"I'm such a failure. A complete failure…"
Yu Shan was disheartened. He became depressed day by day. The regret, pain, and resentment in his heart tormented Yu Shan every night.
Even with Chang Xi's company, even if Chang Xi wanted to be with Yu Shan at all costs, and even after her family forbade her from going back, she still chose to take care of Yu Shan. Seeing Yu Shan becoming increasingly depressed, Chang Xi's heart ached. She didn't care about money or wealth, but she cared about Yu Shan. She couldn't see Yu Shan continue to be depressed like this.
"Yu Shan, we will definitely find a way. There's definitely a way. You have to pull yourself together." Chang Xi's eyes were filled with tears, but Yu Shan did not even raise his head. What hope was there left? All his previous pride, his previous self-esteem, and his previous spirits were shattered in just a few days.
This was the real world, a world that invoked despair. Yu Shan had never felt such despair, even from those incomparably savage dire beasts he had once faced.
"Don't give up. There must be hope, we'll find someone can help…"
Chang Xi's heart ached deeply. She could not let Yu Shan keep being so depressed like this. She feared that she would wake up one day and never see Yu Shan again.
Yu Shan was drunk today. Chang Xi helped him to the bed to rest. Suddenly, Chang Xi saw the communicator beside Yu Shan's pillow.
During this period of time, Yu Shan contacted many people, but none of them lent a helping hand.
For some reason, Chang Xi suddenly recalled the "stories" that Yu Shan had told her some time ago. He and his comrades had gone through thick and thin when facing off the dire beasts.
Furthermore, wasn't the young martial artist known as the hero of Dragonlith City Yu Shan's lifelong friend? They had fought alongside each other, and gone through life-or-death situations together.
"You're a great hero. If you can step forward and save the three million people in Dragonlith City, you definitely won't stand by and do nothing, right?"
As if possessed, Chang Xi immediately picked up Yu Shan's communicator and searched carefully.
Finally, she found a name in the communicator – Lin Feng.
Lin Feng—this name was all too familiar. As the war in Dragonlith City came to an end, as the genius martial artist who saved three million people in Dragonlith City and broke the genetic lock, Lin Feng's name and even his background were naturally uncovered.
Even Chang Xi, who hadn't been paying much attention to the matter, knew Lin Feng's name.
Chang Xi hesitated for a moment, but when she saw Yu Shan's haggard face in his sleep, she gritted her teeth suddenly, and dialed the communicator.

Chapter 100 Awarding of Honors
Beep-beep-beep.
The beep of the communicator sounded, echoing in Chang Xi's ears. Her heart seemed to be on tenterhooks. She was afraid, afraid that Lin Feng would reject her, or that Lin Feng would ignore it like everyone else.
One second, two seconds, three seconds…
When the voice on the communicator disappeared, Chang Xi was stunned. No one picked up? Was he deliberately not answering, or was there something wrong?
Chang Xi was not willing to give up, so she dialed the communicator again.
About a dozen seconds later, Chang Xi put down the communicator. No one had picked up still. With a lost look, she muttered softly, "Even you aren't willing to help Yu Shan?" Even though Chang Xi was very disappointed, she still held on to a trace of hope. Lin Feng had not accepted the call, but she did not give up. Instead, she composed a message and sent it directly.
The content of the message was about what had happened to Yu Shan recently. She asked Lin Feng for help. Even if Lin Feng did not answer the call, he should be able to see the message, right?
This was Chang Xi's only hope.
After Chang Xi sent the message, she gently put down her communicator. Looking at Yu Shan's sleeping face, she felt as if a knife was being twisted in her heart. She really hoped that Yu Shan would still be the martial artist who would never back down when facing dire beasts, and could risk everything to protect ordinary people.
In Chang Xi's heart, Yu Shan was her hero!
In the City Conference Hall of Dragonlith City, eight inhuman experts, as well as the upper echelons of the City Council and the Department of Armed Forces were all gathered. There were also reporters from the Dragonlith City Television Station below.
The reason why it was so lively was that the Chief Commander of Dragon Mountain Base, Long Duo, was awarding a shining gold medal to Lin Feng. This was the Hero of Humanity Medal, one of the three highest medals in human society!
Lin Feng received the medal from Long Duo with a solemn expression, and it was pinned on his chest. From then on, there was another wielder of the Hero of Humanity Medal.
"Congratulations, congratulations. That's the Hero of Humanity Medal. I'll be content if I can obtain it in this lifetime." "Haha, you, getting a medal? You're lucky to survive this time. If not for Brother Lin Feng, we wouldn't be alive now."
"Naturally, only heroes of humanity are worthy of the Hero of Humanity Medal. I'm completely convinced about Brother Lin Feng deserving this medal!"
The ones who spoke were a few inhuman experts. During this period of time, they had all heard the news that Lin Feng had joined the academic faction. He also belonged to the Myriad Academy like them. Naturally, they felt closer to Lin Feng.
Thus, they called him brother and were all sincerely happy for Lin Feng for obtaining the Hero of Humanity Medal.
The award ceremony was very solemn and complicated. It took about three or four hours to end. Lin Feng did not like the hassle initially, but he had to "cooperate". After all, Lin Feng had saved Dragonlith City and obtained the Hero of Humanity Medal. Dragonlith City naturally would not let this opportunity for publicity slip by.
Recently, Dragonlith City had slowly stabilized. There were no more incidents with the parasitic Screwworms. Moreover, good news kept coming from the research institute. It was said that they had already developed the first batch of devices to detect the parasitic seeds.
Even the drugs to eliminate the Screwworm parasitic seeds would be developed very soon. Then, the martial law in Dragonlith City would be lifted, and Lin Feng wouldn't have to stay in Dragonlith City anymore. "Lin Feng, congratulations on becoming a hero of humanity! Moreover, your application to join the academic faction has been issued. This is your identity card. The higher-ups have given you an extremely high evaluation, and there's also a reward of 1,000 merit value. Tsk tsk, this is a huge sum. Even I'm very envious."
Long Duo called out to Lin Feng and gave him a new smart identity card. Moreover, Lin Feng's information was already bound to it.
"What is merit value?"
"Merit value isn't merit points. In fact, merit value is also derived from merit points. To put it simply, merit value is the currency used by martial artists who broke the genetic lock to purchase goods in their respective factions. They're like the points used by the Myriad Academy, except they have broader uses. Not only can it be used to purchase things in the shop of the academic faction, it can also purchase things in the shops of other factions. These are all settled using merit value."
Hearing Long Duo's explanation, Lin Feng was very surprised. Weren't the five major factions competing with each other? How could merit value be used to buy things from all the factions?
Seemingly aware of Lin Feng's confusion, Long Duo explained, "Lin Feng, what do you think merit value is? The so-called merit value is extremely difficult to obtain. Basically, only inhuman experts who have broken the genetic lock and made significant contributions to humanity can obtain merit value. For example, I've guarded the Dragon Mountain Base for decades, but I can only receive 10 merit value per year, and that is because I'm the person in charge of the Dragon Mountain Base. Other ordinary inhuman experts would get even less.
"Of course, there are also some scientific researchers and other ordinary people. If it's ascertained that they have made a major contribution to humanity, they will also be able to obtain a certain amount of merit value. Although merit value can't be directly converted into money, it can be used to purchase many precious things. Most of the things in the five major factions can be purchased, except for some of their core items.
"With merit value, the upper echelons of the human world have no barriers, and fewer disputes. Together, we work hard for the development of humanity. For so many years, humanity has been able to remain united. Much of it is thanks to this system of merit value. All right, you're already an inhuman expert of the academic faction now. You already have the authority. You'll learn a lot of general knowledge when you go back and surf the Internet."
Lin Feng nodded. He couldn't wait to go back and find out more.
"By the way, since I've become part of the academic faction, I have to follow the arrangements. Where will I be deployed to?"
Lin Feng also knew about the basic situation of some Metamorphic Realm martial artists. Once one became a Metamorphic Realm martial artist, they would basically stay at the frontline all year round. It was impossible for them to travel to and from cities as casually as ordinary people.
"Haha, don't worry. You just broke the genetic lock and have a leave of half a year. You can arrange your itinerary freely, but I suggest you go home. After all, after half a year's leave, you won't have such a long leave in the future."
"I can't go home right now." Lin Feng shook his head. The martial law in Dragonlith City was still in effect. He couldn't return even if he wanted to.
"Lad, i'll disclose a piece of news to you. In three days at most, the martial law in Dragonlith City will be lifted."
"So fast?"
Lin Feng was overjoyed. It turned out that the research institute's progress was really fast. The parasitic seeds that were used to detect the Screwworms and the drugs to eliminate them had all been developed. The martial law could naturally be lifted.
Subsequently, a few other Metamorphic Realm martial artists dragged Lin Feng over for drinks. All of them gave Lin Feng their blessings. This could be considered a rare moment of relaxation. All the Metamorphic Realm martial artists were very grateful to Lin Feng. If not for Lin Feng, they would probably be long dead.
Hence, all of them treated Lin Feng as their little brother, and felt both gratitude and admiration towards him. In this lively atmosphere, Lin Feng also integrated into the circle of these Metamorphic Realm martial artists without realizing it.

Chapter 101 Martial Domain Network
Lin Feng was a little tipsy from drinking. Although his physique was powerful, that did not grant him the ability to resist alcohol. This was especially the case since this fine wine was specially brewed for those Metamorphic Realm martial artists. It naturally guaranteed that those Metamorphic Realm martial artists could get drunk.
Lin Feng had obtained the Hero of Humanity Medal and joined the academic faction as he had wished. His strange illness had finally recovered too. In this relaxed mood, he had a few more drinks than usual with the few inhuman experts. He was still drunk now, so he swayed and fell onto the bed. He did not notice the flashing red light on the communicator on the table at all.
Early the next morning, Lin Feng woke up refreshed and stretched. It's been a long time since he had slept in. In the past, in order to break the genetic lock as soon as possible, he would wake up early and train regularly every day. How could he sleep in until this late?
He glanced at the clock on the wall and realized that it was already nine in the morning. He quickly got up. It wasn't that there was something urgent today, but that he was in a rather urgent mood and wanted to browse the online shop.
Lin Feng quickly entered the virtual network. There was a link at the top of the forum of the Myriad Academy. Only martial artists who became inhuman experts and obtained recognition and authority could access it. Ordinary martial artists would not be able to access it at all. Lin Feng immediately clicked on the link. Instantly, a window appeared.
"Checking authority."
"Authority approved. Welcome, Mr. Lin Feng!"
Lin Feng's vision blurred. The scene in front of him had changed drastically.
This was a brand-new place. There was even a forum below, and also some simple explanations. This was a platform for all the inhuman experts in the world to interact, and it was not limited to any faction.
Not only that, the online shop panel was divided into six main boards. Apart from the boards of the five major factions, there was also a "free board", where martial artists traded freely. There was a dazzling array of many strange items hanging on it, with the majority of them being some things from demons.
For example, the corpses of demons or things from the bodies of demons could all be sold, which amazed Lin Feng greatly.
Lin Feng found a message in his personal mailbox, so he immediately clicked it.
"Welcome to the Martial Domain Network. This is a paradise for communication among people who have made important contributions to humanity, including human martial artists, scientists, and soldiers. You can use merit points to purchase things in the online shop, or trade freely. Your identity authority cannot be transferred to others."
This message was only a simple introduction to the Martial Domain Network. Apart from martial artists, there were other human elites here. It could be said that they were the true upper class of humanity.
The Martial Domain Network covered all kinds of things, including technology, martial arts, and so on. Transact and communication could also be conducted freely here. The only currency here was merit value. Also, it was extremely difficult to obtain merit value. The Nine Sages jointly created the Martial Domain Network and controlled the merit value strictly so that phenomena similar to inflation or deflation would not occur.
Thus, the value of merit value here was extremely high.
Lin Feng had never come into contact with this level before. This was clearly the upper echelons of human society. Apart from inhuman experts, anyone else who had the authority to enter could probably only be elite politician or expert scientific researchers. In any case, only the most outstanding and top-notch geniuses of various professions could enter the Martial Domain Network.
This could also be considered a way to integrate the resources of human society.
Moreover, Lin Feng also noticed that whether it was trading or speaking on the forum, it was all done under real names. There was no possibility of hiding one's identity.
After getting a brief understanding of it, Lin Feng eagerly entered the shop. He naturally chose to enter the shop of the academic faction.
Swoosh.
The screen flashed before Lin Feng's eyes. The academic faction's shop was filled with all kinds of goods. Lin Feng selected martial arts, cultivation techniques, and the like.
Lin Feng had just broken the genetic lock, and his body had yet to undergo a complete metamorphosis. However, with his physique, condensing Astral Power in advance was not a problem. Hence, he needed a cultivation technique for cultivating Astral Power.
There were too many Astral Power cultivation techniques in the school's shop. At a glance, there were almost a thousand cultivation techniques for cultivating Astral Power, but their prices were actually about the same.
The price of almost every cultivation technique was 50 merit value.
Fifty merit value was actually quite an expensive price. After all, Long Duo only received 10 merit value per year while guarding the Dragon Mountain Base. If it were an ordinary Metamorphic Realm martial artist, it might be even less.
This 50 merit value was not a small amount.
However, generally speaking, Metamorphic Realm martial artists who broke the genetic lock would receive some rewards regardless of which faction they joined. They would receive at least 50 merit value. This was basically everyone's tacit agreement. After all, only 50 merit value could purchase a cultivation technique to cultivate Astral Power. Martial artists could not cultivate Astral Power without merit value. Otherwise, if they delayed the martial artists' condensation of Astral Power, it would be a loss for humanity.
Lin Feng had a total of 1,000 merit value. This was a reward given to Lin Feng by the academic faction. Lin Feng even vaguely guessed that the Invincible Fist Sage might be the reason behind this.
Otherwise, how could he be rewarded with 1,000 merit value at once? Even though he was a Hero of Humanity, rewarding a few hundred would be enough, but he now had 1,000 merit value.
Without a doubt, the upper echelons of the academic faction took Lin Feng very seriously. They hoped that Lin Feng would not have to worry about merit value in the early stages, and could improve his strength as soon as possible. Lin Feng did not make a purchase immediately. After all, he had 1,000 merit value on him, and it was enough to buy anything. Hence, he naturally had to make a good choice. Cultivation of Astral Power was about building a foundation, and he had to ensure it was stable.
However, after Lin Feng studied these cultivation techniques carefully, he began to hesitate.
It turned out that there was no difference in power between cultivation techniques that cultivated Astral Power. This was because they all absorbed star power. Meanwhile, due to the Canopy looming over this world, the power of stars had actually been "filtered" before it descended and became relatively mild, allowing one to absorb it without worries.
All Astral Powers were about equally powerful, and the only difference was how many there were. However, this was also a fixed amount.
Metamorphic Realm martial artists condensed star power and transformed it into traces of Astral Power. According to the amount of Astral Power, there were actually three minor realms in the Metamorphic Realm.
At the first level of the Metamorphic Realm, one could condense a maximum of 99 strands of Astral Power in the body.
At the second level of the Metamorphic Realm, one could condense a maximum of 999 strands of Astral Power in the body.
At the third level of the Metamorphic Realm, one could condense a maximum of 9,999 strands of Astral Power in the body.
There was almost a tenfold difference in the amount of Astral Power in the body between every minor realm. As for why there were only 99 strands of Astral Power in the first level of the Metamorphic Realm, this might be the limit, the limit that no one could break.
Those cultivation techniques could only assist in cultivating Astral Power. At most, they could allow it to happen slightly faster, and could not even break through minor realms. Therefore, the cultivation techniques were basically all similar.
In that case, Lin Feng did not have much of a choice to make. He directly chose a cultivation technique called "Astral Swirl". The price was 60 merit value. The introduction said that its speed of condensing Astral Power was slightly faster.
As for how much faster it was, Lin Feng did not know either. Although the price was slightly more expensive than ordinary Astral Power cultivation techniques, he did not mind spending just 10 more merit value. After all, Lin Feng could be considered truly wealthy in the Martial Domain Network now. With a "huge wealth" of 1,000 merit value, why would he care about the price?
Moreover, Lin Feng had the Hero of Humanity Medal. He could get a 20% discount when purchasing things in the shop. Hence, he only spent a mere 48 merit value to purchase the "Astral Swirl" cultivation technique.

Chapter 102 Astral Swirl
After purchasing the Astral Swirl, Lin Feng also went to search for the remaining six levels of Nonuple Body Tempering. There was indeed Nonuple Body Tempering in the school's shop, but the number of purchases was very small.
Lin Feng thought carefully and roughly understood some of the reasons.
The last six levels of Nonuple Body Tempering required 100 merit value per level. This was simply daylight robbery. At this price, almost no one was willing to buy it. It was just too expensive.
The reason was very simple. The Nonuple Body Tempering was not a martial art that used Astral Power, but a martial art that mobilized pure physical strength. Why would any inhuman expert who had broken the genetic lock care about physical strength?
All inhuman experts who had broken the genetic lock had shifted their focus to studying Astral Power. For example, a casual strike from a first level Metamorphic Realm martial artist could only exert about 100 tons of strength.
However, with Astral Power imbued, It would probably increase by onefold or twofold. Furthermore, there were Astral martial arts. Once one practiced Astral martial arts, they could unleash Astral Power, and the increment would be even more terrifying.
With so many advantages in Astral Power, who would want to temper their physical strength? Even if they exhausted their energy, it might not be effective. The losses outweighed the gains.
This was only the first level of the Metamorphic Realm. If it were the second level, third level, or even the second transition of life to the Divine Realm, the Astral Power would bring even more benefits.
The Nonuple Body Tempering created by the Invincible Fist Sage was actually just a failed product. Back then, the Invincible Fist Sage had envisioned creating a martial art that could combine physical strength and Astral Power, and even combine the two to unleash ten or a hundred times the strength in an instant.
However, this thought was too shocking. Even if one practiced Nonuple Body Tempering to the extreme, he would only be able to increase his strength by ninefold. How could he possibly unleash it tenfold or a hundredfold?
Hence, in the end, the Invincible Fist Sage just dumped the failed creation into the shop. Although it was a failed item, it still originated from a Sage, so the price always remained exorbitant. Very few people would spend so much merit value to practice Nonuple Body Tempering.
"I'll purchase all six levels!"
Lin Feng did not hesitate at all. He bought all the remaining six levels of cultivation techniques. Even though he already knew that this Nonuple Body Tempering was actually a flawed martial art and a failed product, to Lin Feng, it was almost as if Nonuple Body Tempering was tailor-made for him. The effect of Nonuple Body Tempering would be unleashed to incredible effect in his hands.
Perhaps even the Invincible Fist Sage, who had created Nonuple Body Tempering back then, would not have imagined that this martial art would be such a good fit for Lin Feng.
The price for the subsequent six levels of Nonuple Body Tempering was 600 merit value. However, Lin Feng could enjoy a 20% discount, so it required 480 merit value. In addition, Lin Feng had purchased the Astral Swirl Technique for 48 merit value. Today, Lin Feng had spent 528 merit points at one go.
Apart from Astral Power cultivation techniques and Nonuple Body Tempering, ordinary Metamorphic Realm martial artists would also purchase some martial arts that utilized Astral Power. This was the mainstream practice for inhuman martial artists.
These martial arts were all very expensive. Lin Feng browsed through them casually. They generally cost more than 100 merit value. It wasn't that Lin Feng couldn't afford them. He still had 472 merit value left in his account, which was enough to purchase a first-class Astral martial art. However, he was in no hurry. Now was not the time to purchase Astral martial arts.
After all, Lin Feng had not even condensed any Astral Power, and it was useless to purchase Astral martial arts. The urgent matter at hand was to condense Astral Power first.
Hence, Lin Feng exited the Martial Domain Network. He received the Astral Swirl technique as well as the follow-up cultivation techniques for six levels of Nonuple Body Tempering in his personal inbox.
Lin Feng eagerly checked the Astral Swirl cultivation technique. There were naturally some necessary reminders on it regarding how it could not be privately imparted. Lin Feng remembered them firmly. In reality, basically all martial arts purchased in the shop could not be imparted privately and could only be practiced by oneself.
The Astral Swirl cultivation technique was not very complicated. Firstly, it gave an introduction on the power of stars.
What was the power of stars? According to the research of modern technology, the world they were in was actually a huge sphere, massive to the extreme. Above them was a layer of Canopy.
Beyond the Canopy lied the stars of the cosmos. This was the result of research. There was even a special science called Cosmic Astronomy. A world like theirs was called a planet.
Every planet was actually a star. Some stars emitted light and heat infinitely, and that was star power.
There might also be life forms on those cosmic stars. With modern technology, it would be very easy to manufacture spaceships to fly beyond the planet and enter the universe.
However, they had yet to succeed because the planet was enveloped by a "Canopy". No one knew who had set up this "Canopy", or if it was formed naturally.
In short, the appearance of the Canopy impeded the dreams of humanity to fly. They were unable to enter the starry cosmos. However, at the same time, when the Sages were researching about the star power, they discovered that star power in its original state was very violent and difficult to absorb for humans.
However, the star power was automatically "filtered" after passing through the Canopy. It was no longer so violent. As long as one's physique was strong enough, they could withstand the impact of the star power.
It was precisely due to the appearance of the Canopy that many Metamorphic Realm martial artists and even quite a few Divine Realm martial artists had appeared before the technological boom. These Divine Realm martial artists relied on star power to complete the two transitions of life.
Powerful martial artists advanced the development of technology, while technology aided martial artists in accelerating evolution. Eventually, there were even Sages who underwent four life transitions.
No one could say for sure if the Canopy provided more advantages or disadvantages.
Lin Feng knew about the existence of the Canopy, but he had not known about its importance to martial artists. After understanding star power, the rest was simple.
The Astral Swirl actually mainly simulated the astral vortex. Although the Canopy impeded people from breaking through the restrictions of the planet, it did not impede the line of sight of humans. Through some large astronomical telescopes or other technological equipment, some astronomical phenomena in the cosmos could be seen.
For example, the astral vortex was a unique phenomenon of the universe formed by countless stars converging in the vast universe. From afar, it looked like a spiral.
The Astral Swirl technique simulated the vortex to accelerate the entry of star power into the body, thereby increasing the speed of condensing Astral Power. The prerequisite was that one's physique had to be strong enough. Otherwise, they would be unsuited for practicing the Astral Swirl.
Lin Feng naturally met the prerequisites of the Astral Swirl. His physique had almost exceeded that of all Metamorphic Realm martial artists. Even Divine Realm martial artists might not be stronger than Lin Feng in terms of physique alone.
Hence, Lin Feng was not afraid of massive amounts of star power at all. His body could withstand it. What he wanted was to condense Astral Power faster. He did not want to spend a large amount of time slowly condensing Astral Power.
Hence, Lin Feng sat cross-legged on the ground. The star power was pervasive. Even at home, it did not affect him much. There was no need for him to specially go to an open space. Lin Feng visualized the Astral Swirl in his mind. He was fully focused and free of distracting thoughts. Soon, he was completely immersed in the vast and massive Astral Vortex.
At the same time, Lin Feng's entire body shook. He felt as if countless icy substances were boring into his body like mad.

Chapter 103 Ineffable
"Star power?"
Lin Feng immediately came to a realization. This must be the star power. He did not expect that this star power would be chilly and like water as it bore into his body.
CU
However, as Lin Feng jolted out of his trance, he could no longer maintain the "Astral Swirl" in his mind. Once the Astral Swirl dissipated, the star power naturally could not subsist and quickly dissipated, as if what had occurred just now was an illusion. "It seems like this star power isn't as violent as I imagined?" Lin Feng was a little surprised. Although the Canopy filtered it automatically, the star power was still very violent. Many Metamorphic Realm martial artists had to try many times to slowly condense a strand of Astral Power.
According to ordinary standards, from the moment star power entered body to the point of condensing a strand of Astral Power, it would take about 10 days. Three strands of Astral Power could be condensed in a month.
To condense 99 strands of Astral Power, one would need at least over two years to close to three years. This period of time could be considered a standard period. From the moment many Metamorphic Realm martial artists broke the genetic lock to when they entered the peak of the first level of the Metamorphic Realm, it usually took three years.
Of course, some gifted martial artists were different. They could condense 99 strands of Astral Power in a year. Lin Feng naturally wanted to condense Astral Power as soon as possible. This time, he focused all his attention on visualizing the "Astral Swirl". Immediately, that icy feeling appeared again. This time, Lin Feng did not get distracted. Instead, he focused all his attention on continuing to visualize the "Astral Swirl". As a large amount of power from the stars entered his body, Lin Feng finally felt the "violent" side of this Astral Power. A massive amount of power from the stars surged wildly within Lin Feng's body, destroying his flesh, blood, and bones.
Fortunately, Lin Feng's physique far exceeded that of ordinary people, which was why he was not completely destroyed by the star power. However, as his physique was strong, the star power he accommodated was also several times that of ordinary martial artists.
The star power rampaged through his body almost without restraint. Even with Lin Feng's willpower, he almost could not endure it. However, he gritted his teeth and held out in the end. As the power of the stars continued to devastate, Lin Feng's undying characteristic was unleashed to its fullest extent. Every time his flesh and blood were damaged, the undying characteristic would immediately restore them.
Hence, between the continuous cycle of devastation and restoration, Lin Feng's body actually familiarized itself with the star power gradually. It even gradually accommodated the star power.
This was a pleasant surprise for Lin Feng. Under normal circumstances, a Metamorphic Realm martial artist would need at least a week's time to familiarize their body with the star power, or even half a month.
However, it only took him an hour to completely familiarize his body with the star power.
A large amount of star power was still entering Lin Feng's body continuously through the Astral Swirl. A thought came to Lin Feng. His body was already familiar with the star power, so he could start condensing Astral Power.
Therefore, he began to channel the star power in his body with his invisible "consciousness".
Buzz.
It went very smoothly. Even though the star power was very violent, Lin Feng's channeling of it went very successfully. He compressed the star power constantly, as if drawing strands from a cocoon of silk.
Finally, a strand of crystalline and terrifyingly strong Astral Power appeared.
Although there was only one strand, it obeyed Lin Feng's command completely, as if it were a part of his own body. With a thought, this strand of Astral Power could fuse into his flesh and erupt with powerful strength. In fact, the Astral Power could even transform the body constantly. Its effects were much better than the violent star power. This strand of Astral Power took Lin Feng two or three hours, and there was still a lot of star power in his body. At this moment, even a martial artist in the Metamorphic Realm with a strong physique would not be able to withstand the destructive star power, and would most likely not continue to condensing Astral Power. However, Lin Feng was different. He had the undying characteristic and astonishing regenerative ability. No matter how the star power destroyed it, Lin Feng's body could withstand it.
Hence, Lin Feng decided to continue condensing Astral Power.
As time passed, the star power in Lin Feng's body kept increasing. Incredibly, the speed at which he condensed the Astral Power also became faster and faster, and there was no sign of it stopping at all.
One strand, two strands, three strands… In the blink of an eye, by the time the sky lit up and people came and went outside, Lin Feng had already condensed more than ten strands of Astral Power.
However, Lin Feng did not stop condensing. Instead, he continued condensing. As the star power contained in his body increased, the speed at which he condensed the Astral Power also became faster and faster.
Twenty strands, 30 strands, 40 strands, 50 strands, 60 strands…
"Stop."
Finally, when Lin Feng had condensed 66 strands of Astral Power in one sitting, he stopped. He began to sense that something was amiss. Didn't others condense three strands of Astral Power in a month?
As for him? In just three days and three nights, Lin Feng had condensed 66 threads of Astral Power. It was as if condensing Astral Power was as simple as eating and drinking to him.
This was truly unheard of and somewhat unbelievable.
It was precisely because of this that Lin Feng even stopped. Although he did not feel any discomfort, if the speed at which Astral Power was being condensed was so fast, wouldn't it mean that he could finish condensing 99 strands of Astral Power in a few days?
When Lin Feng stopped, he found that his body was undamaged. His regenerative ability was simply too strong. Having awakened the innate ability of the undying characteristic, it was difficult for him to die even if he wanted to. The impact from the star power was not worth mentioning at all. Perhaps this was also the reason why Lin Feng's Astral Power condensed at an abnormally fast speed. No one but Lin Feng could condense Astral Power so quickly.
Moreover, despite the speed, upon careful inspection, Lin Feng found that the Astral Power in his body was like a part of himself. It was very docile and there was nothing wrong with it.
This meant that although it was fast, its foundation was very stable. "That's good. At this rate, I'll be able to completely condense 99 strands of Astral Power in a few days at most."
A smile also appeared on Lin Feng's face. He did not need a long time to condense Astral Power at all. Ordinary Metamorphic Realm martial artists would need two or three years to condense 99 strands of Astral Power.
Top-notch genius martial artists also needed at least a year to condense 99 strands of Astral Power. As for Lin Feng? He only needed a few days, at most a week, to condense 99 strands of Astral Power.
This speed was simply world-shattering. No one could compare to it, and it was practically unprecedented, and it was very likely that no one would be able to match it in the future either.
This could no longer be described as a genius, but a monstrosity! An ineffable person!
"Phew…"
Lin Feng heaved a long sigh of relief. Whether he was a genius, a monstrosity, or ineffable, he was very satisfied with his current speed. However, this was his secret. He had to guard it and disclose it to no one.
Fortunately, as long as he did not use Astral Power casually, no one could know the exact amount of Astral Power in Lin Feng's body. With Lin Feng's current strength, just his pure physical strength was enough to deal with matters.
Beep-beep-beep.
Suddenly, Lin Feng's communicator rang. He hurriedly picked up the call. Chief Commander Long Duo's voice came through. "Lin Feng, the martial law has been lifted. Haha, from today onwards, people are free to enter and exit Dragonlith City. I know you're eager to go home, and you only have half a year of leave. Hurry up and come to the research institute to do a test. As long as you confirm that you don't have the parasitic seeds of the Screwworm, you can leave Dragonlith City."
"All right, I'll be right there."
Lin Feng was overjoyed. He could finally go home.
When he switched off the communicator, he realized that there was a communication request on it, and the contact was very familiar. "Yu Shan contacted me three days ago?"
Lin Feng frowned. Three days ago, he was busy cultivating the Astral Swirl and condensing Astral Power, so he did not notice that Yu Shan had sent a communication request on his communicator.
Yu Shan left without a word in Dragonlith City. Lin Feng was actually very worried. Now that Yu Shan took the initiative to contact him, could there be a problem?
Lin Feng saw the message column again. There was another "unread" message. "Lin Feng, I'm Yu Shan's girlfriend. Yu Shan told me that you saved his life. Yu Shan is in trouble now. Please, you have to save him…"
As he read the content of this message, Lin Feng's expression gradually turned grim. There was even a vague hint of murderous intent. How could Yu Shan, a good friend who had gone through thick and thin with him, be humiliated like this?
Seeing that the message was already from three days ago, Lin Feng did not hesitate and immediately called back.

Chapter 104 The Call
For three days, Chang Xi did her best to take care of Yu Shan. However, the sanatorium was very expensive, and this was a very high-end sanatorium. After the previous incident, Yu Shui stopped paying for Yu Shan's stay in the sanatorium.
Hence, the sanatorium had already ordered Yu Shan to move out.
Yu Shan had been becoming more and more depressed recently. He would even go through the entire day in a daze. He was completely unlike how spirited and hopeful towards life he used to be.
This pained Chang Xi deeply, but there was nothing she could do.
Today, Mr. and Mrs. Yu, as well as their second son, Yu Shui, came to the sanatorium. Yu Shui even brought a few powerful bodyguards with him. It was obvious that they were professional martial artists.
When Mr. and Mrs. Yu saw Yu Shan's despondence, both of them could not help but weep.
"Shanzi, you can't torture yourself like this. It's all your brother's fault. He's a bastard."
Mr. Yu also shouted, "Second son, are you really so heartless? You drove your brother into this state. Just return the money to your brother. Do you think our family can possibly be destitute?"
Mr. and Mrs. Yu were merely ordinary elders who were kind and honest. They did not want to see their two sons turn out like this, and only wanted less for Yu Shan to continue sinking into depression.
Familial harmony brings prosperity to everything. But now, because of money, the brothers had turned against each other. This also distressed them greatly. However, Yu Shui ignored his parents' scoldings and said indifferently, "Yu Shan, I'll call you big brother one more time! You must have tried all kinds of methods over the past few days. Did it work? In any case, you're my big brother. Just give me an answer. Don't cause trouble anymore. Leave your future life and your marriage with sister-in-law to me, all right? If you want to open a company, I can also provide the funds. We can work together and divide the shares equally. How about that? You just have to give me an affirmative answer. If you continue to cause trouble, it won't do any good for you, me, or our entire family."
In reality, recent events in the Yu family had become a joke to the entire Stone City. The Yu family was considered to be somewhat prestigious and famed in Stone City. Now that something like this had happened between the two Yu brothers, it also caused a huge impact on the Yu family. Moreover, Yu Shui did not really want to give no quarters, so he came over to "reconcile". Of course, to Yu Shui, this was "reconciliation". To Yu Shan, however, this was simply humiliation. Yu Shui had embezzled all his money, and even his compensation was no exception. Now, Yu Shui came over as if he was giving alms and told Yu Shan to stop causing trouble. How could reclaiming his own money be considered causing trouble?
"Heh."
Yu Shan only lifted his head and glanced coldly at the bodyguards behind Yu Shui. He said suddenly, "Second brother, are you afraid of me? Afraid of a cripple like me?" Yu Shui's expression turned rather ugly. He was indeed afraid of Yu Shan. He had lived in the shadow of Yu Shan since he was young. How could he not be afraid of Yu Shan?
"Big brother, my dear big brother, of course I'm afraid of you. Even if you're crippled, you were once a high-level martial artist. If I don't bring some bodyguards, I'm really afraid that you'll do something foolish in a moment of impulse. If you really don't accept my sincerity and don't want to reconcile, then don't blame me for being ruthless. From today onwards, you'll have to move out of the sanatorium!"
"No, you can't do this. Yu Shui, you can't do this to your big brother. I don't want to judge who's right and who's wrong, but he's your big brother!"
Chang Xi hurriedly blocked in front of Yu Shan and rebuked Yu Shui sharply.
Yu Shui stared intently at Yu Shan and suddenly chuckled. "Big brother, I really envy you. Even when you're crippled, you can still meet such a good girl as sister-in-law. There's no point in continuing to cause trouble. Even if you don't consider it for yourself, you have to consider it for sister-in-law, right? You can't let down such a good girl. As long as you promise to stop causing trouble everywhere, you can continue to live in the sanatorium. You can open the company if you want. I'll sponsor it, and we can have half the shares each. I believe that with your ability, the company will definitely prosper. Then, we'll still be a family. How's that?"
At this moment, Mr. and Mrs. Yu also persuaded, "That's right, Shanzi, just agree to it. Our second son is a bastard, he's inhumane, but he's your brother after all. Just agree to his terms."
A trace of determination appeared in Yu Shan's turbid eyes. He said coldly, "You should leave."
"Shanzi, you…"
"Shanzi, listen to our advice. You are family and shouldn't fight with each other."
as
Tears streamed down Mr. and Mrs. Yu's faces. They really did not want to see Yu Shan and Yu Shui fighting and harming each other as brothers. But they were undeniably responsible for the state the two brothers had come to today.
However, it was too late to say anything now.
Yu Shui took a deep breath and sneered, "All right then, Yu Shan, I'll make you give up completely. Let's see how long you can hold out for."
Seeing Yu Shui's sinister expression, Chang Xi was very worried. She was really afraid that Yu Shui would do something harmful to Yu Shan. In his current state, Yu Shan could no longer withstand any more blows.
Beep-beep beep.
Suddenly, the communicator beside Yu Shan rang urgently, attracting everyone's attention. Why would someone contact Yu Shan at a time like this?
Out of the corner of her eye, Chang Xi saw the name of the contact on the screen. Her expression lit up. Lin Feng. It was Lin Feng, who she had sent a message to three days ago. At this moment, Lin Feng had finally contacted Yu Shan.
101
Yu Shan was a little surprised. Why would Lin Feng suddenly contact him?
Although Yu Shan had also thought of asking Lin Feng for help before, for some reason, he hesitated to call Lin Feng's communicator. He did not know why. Perhaps it was fear, perhaps it was a lack of confidence, or perhaps there was some other reason.
However, now that Lin Feng had taken the initiative to contact him, he could only answer.
"Lin Feng."
The other end of the communicator was silent for a long time without speaking.
Eventually, a familiar voice came from the communicator. "Yu Shan, I'll rush to Stone City as soon as I can. Wait for me!" With that short sentence, Lin Feng switched off his communicator.
Yu Shan opened his mouth, as if he was about to say something, but held back from doing so. However, deep down, he was very touched. Just that one sentence of few words was enough! This was his true brother, the brother who would go through life-or-death with him!
"Xiaoxi, what's going on?"
Yu Shan also saw the unnatural expression on Chang Xi's face, so he asked.
Chang Xi did not conceal it. Her voice was filled with joy as she said in a low voice, "Yu Shan, it's Lin Feng, right? I sent him a message three days ago and told him in detail about the trouble you're in now. I didn't expect he'd really interfere. He'll help us, right?"
"Yes, of course he'll help!" Yu Shan said with conviction. Although he still looked a little tired, there was a glimmer of light in his eyes. He was no longer dispirited and despondent. The Yu Shan in Chang Xi's memory had returned!
However, Yu Shui, who had yet to leave, caught sight of this scene. His expression changed slightly as he asked in a low voice, "Yu Shan, who was the person who contacted you just now?"

Chapter 105 Young Master Zhang
Yu Shui's expression changed drastically. He vaguely heard a name just now. An idea flashed through his mind like a bolt of lightning, impossible to restrain.
Yu Shan looked up, his eyes cold.
"Yu Shui, didn't you say that no one can help me? I don't believe it! No one can take what rightfully belongs to me!"
With that, Yu Shan got Chang Xi to push him out of the sanatorium, leaving Yu Shui with an ugly expression.
Yu Shui thought of all kinds of possibilities. Who was the person who contacted Yu Shan just now? "Could it be Yu Shan's former comrade? Or could it be someone else who's willing to help Yu Shan, a high-level martial artist maybe?"
Yu Shui could no longer sit still. He seemed to have vaguely heard the name "Lin Feng". It felt very familiar. He had heard it somewhere before, but he could not remember it at this moment.
No matter who it was, Yu Shui had to investigate thoroughly. Judging from Yu Shan's look just now, it seemed like there was a turn of events. Yu Shui absolutely would not allow Yu Shan to have a chance to turn the situation around. "Second brother, you have to think carefully. He's your big brother…"
Yu Shui ignored his parents completely and hurriedly left with his underlings.
Mr. and Mrs. Yu looked at each other, and both heaved a long sigh. "What a shame. It's all our fault that our two sons turned against each other. I hope they can reconcile…"
At this point, they were just ordinary old people and couldn't do anything.
After Yu Shui left the sanatorium, he did not return home. Instead, he went to a high-end clubhouse.
He quickly found a luxurious room. A young man sitting inside was flirting with a few young women. Yu Shui stood in front of the young man with a dark expression. The young man looked up. Seeing Yu Shui's dark expression, he put down his wineglass and said with a smile, "Yu Shui, what's wrong? Is your big brother unwilling to accept your kind intentions, or does he want to continue causing trouble?"
Yu Shui glanced at the other women in the room. Frustrated, he barked coldly, "Young Master Zhang and I have something to discuss. Get out."
Hearing that, the women all glanced at Young Master Zhang. Young Master Zhang waved his hand, and only then did the young women stand up and leave. Soon, only Young Master Zhang and Yu Shui were left in the room.
"Young Master Zhang, there might be some trouble with the matter."
"What trouble?"
"Yu Shan received a call today, and he seemed to have become confident all of a sudden. I was afraid that something would go amiss, so I wanted to ask Young Master Zhang to investigate it properly." "Oh? Someone is still willing to help your big brother at a time like this? Tell me, who do you want to investigate?"
"Young Master Zhang, I happened to hear big brother call that person 'Lin Feng'. I find the name very familiar, so I'd like you to investigate who this Lin Feng is."
Young Master Zhang was initially nonchalant, as if he was confident and didn't have a care. However, when he heard the name "Lin Feng", his expression immediately turned solemn.
"Are you sure Yu Shan called the other person Lin Feng?" "Almost completely sure."
Young Master Zhang frowned. He stood up and paced back and forth.
"Which base did your brother Yu Shan get injured in?"
"I think it's the Dragon Mountain Base. I can't remember the details. Young Master Zhang, is something wrong?" Yu Shui was a little flustered now. He vaguely felt that things had gone beyond his expectations and he was no longer in control.
"Why are you panicking? I'll get someone to confirm it."
Young Master Zhang appeared very calm in contrast. He immediately picked up his communicator and dialed.
"Hello, is this Uncle Ye? Help me investigate the eldest son of the Yu family, Yu Shan. Which base on the frontline was he injured at previously? Also, regarding the Hero of Humanity, Lin Feng, who broke the genetic lock in Dragonlith City recently, which base is he currently affiliated with?"
After Young Master Zhang hung up, his expression turned grim again.
Hearing Young Master Zhang mention Dragonlith City and the Hero of Humanity, no matter how foolish Yu Shan was, he recalled them immediately. Hence, his expression became horrified. He said in a panic, "Young Master Zhang, you mean that my brother knows Lin Feng? That Hero of Humanity, Lin Feng, in Dragonlith City?".
Yu Shui was panic-stricken. How could he not be? Lin Feng was the great hero of Dragonlith City, an inhuman expert who had broken the genetic lock, and even obtained the Hero of Humanity Medal.
Such a high and mighty figure was far from someone he could offend. Even Young Master Zhang's background might not be enough to handle it.
"What should we do? What should we do? If Lin Feng comes, no matter how flawless our plan is, we'll be finished with a word from him…"
Yu Shui was not that stupid. Although his money had been laundered through complicated procedures, did an inhuman expert and a Hero of Humanity need evidence?
eveni
There were some things that Lin Feng did not even need to do. As long as Lin Feng expressed a certain attitude, countless people would fight to be the first to do his bidding. Even the most perfect of plans still had flaws.
Moreover, what he did could not be considered flawless at all.
"Shut up! The investigation hasn't turned up results yet. What are you scared of?" Young Master Zhang was also rather angry, and his expression appeared very grim. However, he had no choice but to interfere in this matter, for it was precisely him who started it. He was the one who instigated Yu Shui to "swindle" all the assets of his older brother, Yu Shan. He even helped to plan and help Yu Shui launder the money.
The benefit was that Young Master Zhang obtained 30% of Yu Shui's wealth.
Thirty percent was not an amount to be underestimated. Although Young Master Zhang came from a wealthy family with two inhuman experts and famed in Stone City, no matter how illustrious his family was, he was not the family head. Yang Master Zhang's original name was Zhang Hui, and he was only ranked fourth among the many descendants of the Zhang family.
Zhang Hui's father had six sons and three daughters. He was not very valued, and was usually short on money. He was not even as rich as Yu Shui. Hence, after befriending Yu Shui, he began to incite Yu Shui to take all the wealth of his eldest brother, Yu Shan, step-by-step.
Originally, this matter was nothing serious. Zhang Hui even intended to use Yu Shui. Even if the two brothers turned against each other, he had already obtained his share of benefits. Would a high-level martial artist like Yu Shan dare to cause trouble for him?
Some time ago, Yu Shan had returned to Stone City after being injured. Without his legs, Yu Shan had become crippled. With that, Zhang Hui was even more at ease. However, he did not expect Lin Feng to be involved now.
Although Zhang Hui was a profligate son of a wealthy family and did not have much ability, he was very smart. He knew who he could provoke and who he could not. Lin Feng was the Hero of Humanity who had risen to popularity recently. He had already broken the genetic lock and become an inhuman expert, and was not inferior in power to Zhang Hui's family.
If he had known that Yu Shan and Lin Feng were related, even remotely, he would not have participated in this matter. However, it was too late now. He had already participated and was tied to Yu Shui. It was a difficult situation that was impossible to back out of.
Zhang Hui could only pray that things would not turn out as bad as they could be. Perhaps the Lin Feng Yu Shan had mentioned was just someone with the same name?
Beep-beep-beep.
Zhang Hui's communicator rang. He hurriedly picked it up.
"Uncle Ye, what has the investigation turned
up?"
"Fourth Young Master, I've thoroughly investigated the matter you requested me to. Yu Shan was injured at the Dragon Mountain Base. As for Lin Feng, he has also retreated to Dragonlith City with the Dragon Mountain Base, so he should also be affiliated with the Dragon Mountain Base."
Hearing Uncle Ye's words, Zhang Hui's hands could not help but tremble slightly. The worst outcome had occurred. Yu Shan was really related to Lin Feng. "How could this be…"
Switching off his communicator, Zhang Hui glared at Yu Shui viciously. He only wished he could kill Yu Shan, the fool. Why didn't he do his research and learn that Yu Shan and Lin Feng knew each other beforehand?

Chapter 106 Decision
Seeing Young Master Zhang's sinister gaze, Yu Shui's heart skipped a beat. He had a bad premonition.
"Young Master Zhang, is it really Lin Feng from Dragonlith City?".
Zhang Hui did not answer, but his silence was almost a tacit admission. For a moment, Yu Shui's face was as pale as a sheet. He had really miscalculated in one move and lost the entire game.
Actually, he was already very cautious. He had done some research on Yu Shan's situation beforehand. Although Yu Shan became a high-level martial artist, he had always stayed at the frontline and rarely returned home. What kind of place was the frontline? It was practically a slaughterhouse. Was that a place where Yu Shan could interfere?
Moreover, Yu Shui had also thought that even if Yu Shan had some good friends, as long as he was meticulous about doing it, those high-level martial artists could do nothing. After all, legally, Yu Shui's money had already been laundered and become legitimate.
However, he never expected that Yu Shan would have a good friend who had broken the genetic lock. Although inhuman experts who had broken the genetic lock ostensibly had to abide by the law, everyone knew that with the influence of inhuman experts, dealing with an ordinary person would be a piece of cake.
"Young Master Zhang, you have to save me!"
Yu Shui was not that stupid. He placed all his hopes on Young Master Zhang. After all, there were two inhuman experts in Young Master Zhang's family. Moreover, the two of them were already in the same boat, and there was no way for them to escape.
Zhang Shao paced around the room non-stop. Although the sight of Yu Shan angered him, he was actually the one who took the initiative to participate in this matter, and had even taken 30% of the wealth. He had been extremely carefree during this period of time.
Now that something went wrong, he naturally had to think of a way.
Using the law? Don't be ridiculous. The law was a good thing, but it sufficed when dealing with ordinary people. Against inhuman experts? That was just idiocy.
Once Lin Feng came, those "flaws" would naturally be discovered upon investigation by all kinds of people. By then, even Zhang Hui himself would be get off without repercussions.
Persecuting a high-level martial artist-a hero who fought at the frontline, and a hero who retreated from the frontline after being injured at that, what kind of crime was this? Even if his family had the influence to keep him alive, he would probably spend the rest of his life in jail.
Moreover, he was certain that the Zhang family would not offend the influential and prestigious Hero of Humanity, Lin Feng, for his sake!
As for having the two inhuman experts of the Zhang family mediate between them, that would be even more absurd. He was just an ordinary descendant of the Zhang family. What ability did he have to make the two inhuman experts come forward personally? The Zhang family had many heirs, so him alone was not significant. It would have been fine if they were facing ordinary people, but this time, they were facing the Hero of Humanity, Lin Feng, who was currently at the height of his influence, and an inhuman expert with boundless prospects!
Yet how could Zhang Hui be willing to accept that he could do nothing, sit back, and await the final verdict?
He could not accept this. No one would sit back and await their demise!
"Young Master Zhang, you can't think of a way either? How about I return the money to my big brother? He's my big brother, after all. He won't kill me, right…"
Yu Shui gritted his teeth. He was beginning to be afraid, and the thought of retreating had vaguely appeared in his heart. No matter what, Yu Shan was his biological brother. He could seize his brother's wealth through jealousy and indignation, but if he returned all the money to his brother, even if he accomplished nothing in this life, it would be better than being sent to jail or even being shot.
"Idiot, if you dare to return the money, I'll kill
you!"
Zhang Hui suddenly turned around. His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like an enraged beast.
Yu Shui was also terrified by Young Master Zhang's behavior, and he didn't dare to say anything Zhang Hui glared fiercely at Yu Shui. Many thoughts flashed through his mind. If Yu Shui admitted his mistake now and returned the money, he actually had a way out. After all, Yu Shan and Yu Shui were biological brothers, and Yu Shan would not really kill Yu Shui.
But what about him? He, Zhang Hui, was just an outsider. Moreover, he had urged and instigated Yu Shui to swindle Yu Shan's wealth. He was the true mastermind and the main culprit. Yu Shui had a way out, but Zhang Hui decidedly didn't.
It was true that if Zhang Hui admitted his mistake now and returned the money, even if he was not forgiven, he would probably just go to jail for a few years or even ten-odd years. But the key was that he did not have any money now. Most of the money he had obtained had been squandered. He even wanted to get some more money from Yu Shui to continue squandering it.
It was impossible for the Zhang family to fill this hole for him, so the greatest possibility was that he would still go to jail, and he would be jailed for a really long time.
No matter how much he thought about it, it seemed that he couldn't think of a better solution.
"If… If this matter is turned into an ironclad case and Yu Shan is dead, even if that Lin Feng comes, what can he do? Although inhuman experts have extraordinary status, if it's an ironclad case, it'll be impossible for him to kill me without evidence. If that's really done, it would actually be a good thing…"
Suddenly, Zhang Hui's eyes lit up. He had thought of a good idea.
The key now was Yu Shan. As long as Yu Shan was alive, that was evidence. If Yu Shan had any requests, Lin Feng would help him. But what if Yu Shan was dead? Even if Lin Feng was suspicious, if he had no evidence, what could he do?
Of course, this was a very risky matter. If it was just a case of swindle, his crime would not be punishable by death. However, once he murdered Yu Shan and left behind evidence, his death would be certain!
Zhang Hui was engaged in a fierce inner battle. His eyes were bloodshot, and he was panting heavily.
It was too difficult. Perhaps he had never faced such a difficult decision in his entire life.
After half an hour, Zhang Hui suddenly gritted his teeth. He looked at Yu Shui, whose face was slightly pale, and seemed to have made up his mind.
"Yu Shui, there's something you need to do. As long as you succeed, even if Lin Feng comes, he won't be able to do anything to us."
Hearing Zhang Hui's words, Yu Shui was overjoyed. He hurriedly asked, "What method?"
"It's very simple. Go to the black market and hire a few martial artists at a high price. Then, think of a way to lure your big brother out, and…"
Hearing Zhang Hui's solution, Yu Shui's face turned even paler. "No, I can't do this. He… He's my big brother!"
Yu Shui hurriedly shook his head and took a few steps back. Even though he was very jealous of his elder brother, Yu Shan, and even though deep down, he also yearned to surpass Yu Shan in some aspect…
He honestly never thought of killing Yu Shan. He never even had the slightest thought of doing so.
Zhang Hui took a step forward and grabbed Yu Shui's collar. He sneered, "Now you remember that he's your big brother? When you swindled the wealth he earned with his life, did you ever think that he was your big brother? When you drove him into such a miserable state, did you ever think that he was your big brother? Haha, what a joke. Calling you a piece of trash is really an exaltation of you. A great man must be ruthless. Moreover, even if you want to admit your mistake now, will Yu Shan forgive you for certain?
"Maybe you do not know the weight of the inhuman experts yet—they won't take any responsibility even if they kill you. They are people with licenses to kill, you fool!"
Yu Shui sat on the sofa in a daze, his mind blank.
Actually, what Zhang Hui said just now was an exaggeration. He wanted to scare Yu Shui. After all, even inhuman experts could not be lawless and kill people at will.
However, if Yu Shui did not have the guts to do it, how could Zhang Hui do it alone? If Yu Shui betrayed him at the last moment and went to apologize to Yu Shan, what should he do?
Hence, Zhang Hui could not allow such a thing to happen. He had to tie Yu Shui firmly to himself!

Chapter 107 Nefarious Scheme
"How is it? Have you thought it through? Do you want to do it or not?"
Seeing Zhang Hui's murderous gaze, Yu Shui's eyes kept flickering. In the end, he could only grit his teeth and say, "I'll do it. I'll find him myself. Young Master Zhang, are you sure there's nothing Lin Feng can do?"
"Haha, of course there's nothing he can do. You just have to insist that Yu Shan is dead, and Lin Feng won't be able to do anything at all. Remember, you must not disclose your relationship with me. It's best if we minimize our contact with each other during this period of time. Only I can contact you, but you can't contact me. Got it?"
"Got it. I'll go find the men then."
"Go ahead."
Seeing Yu Shui leave the room, Zhang Hui's expression darkened again.
If the plan went right and Yu Shui killed Yu Shan, Zhang Hui did not know if Lin Feng would go ballistic. However, he knew that Yu Shui would definitely die!
"Don't blame me. I'm the safest only if you're dead…"
Zhang Hui muttered softly, his expression slightly twisted.
The weather at the Dragonlith City Research Institute was not actually cold, but when Lin Feng arrived at the research institute, the entire hall seemed to have suddenly gone "cold".
There were not many people in the research institute. They were all government officials and some elite talents in various fields. Although society advocated equality for all, how could a society truly be completely equal?
At the very least, these people would have priority in using the first batch of testing devices and drugs developed by the research institute. "Lin Feng?"
"Chief Commander, allow me to test first. I'd like to leave Dragonlith City as soon as possible."
Lin Feng said calmly, but at this moment, Lin Feng was chilling. If one got a little closer, they would seem to be able to sense the "coldness" emitted from Lin Feng's body. It was not that the temperature had really dropped, but that it's as if there's a chill in the spirit.
"Lin Feng, you are the hero of Dragonlith City. Of course your testing can be prioritized. Actually, Metamorphic Realm martial artists wouldn't be parasitized in the first place, but Professor Wei is worried that we may be carrying the parasitic seeds of the Screwworms, so he insists on doing the testing. Otherwise, you could have left long ago."
"It's fine. Just follow the procedure."
Seeing that Lin Feng was not in a good mood, Long Duo also did not ask further questions.
Hence, the people in the research institute began to take out an instrument that looked like a bracelet. They placed it a meter away from Lin Feng and activated it.
Soon, the wristband shone with a green light. Long Duo said with a smile, "All right, you don't have the parasitic seeds of the Screwworms on you. You can wear this wristband too. As long as it's activated, you can sense the surroundings for ten meters. As long as there are parasitic seeds of the Screwworms, it will emit a red light in warning."
Lin Feng nodded. This could be considered a little privilege. He could have priority access to the latest research in the laboratory.
"There are also drugs. Take them with you. If the need arises, they can come in useful. As long as it's still in the incubation period, eating one of these can eliminate the parasitic seed."
Long Duo gave Lin Feng about a bottle of medicine. There were about 20 to 30 capsules in it. This could be considered averting peril through preparedness. After all, the Screwworms had already spread throughout the world. No one knew when it would be necessary to use the drugs. It was better to prepare these now, just in case.
Lin Feng received the testing equipment and drugs and was about to leave. Suddenly, he turned around and asked Long Duo, "Chief Commander, can inhuman martial artists who signed the Inhuman Agreement kill people?" "Kill people? If someone offended an inhuman martial artist, it would be a legitimate reason for them to kill. However, it would mean a lot of trouble as well. They will be investigated by the upper echelons of the academic faction. Why are you asking this?"
"Nothing. I just really want to kill someone."
With that, Lin Feng turned around and left.
"Really want to kill someone?"
Long Duo's expression changed. He had the vague feeling that something was wrong with Lin Feng. He had become so "cold". Could something have happened to Lin Feng's family?
At this thought, Long Duo did not dare to delay. He immediately made some calls and investigated. "Nothing happened to the Lin family in Central Sea. If not for his family, who else could have made Lin Feng so angry that he wanted to kill someone?"
Long Duo frowned. This matter was really difficult to handle. After all, Lin Feng had never said what the reason was. Long Duo was still busy appeasing the three million citizens of Dragonlith City, and there was still a lot of work waiting for him. It was impossible for him to pay attention to Lin Feng at all times.
"I hope it's nothing serious."
Long Duo did not investigate further. Lin Feng was now a Hero of Humanity and an inhuman expert who had broken the genetic lock. Even if he really encountered something, the academic faction would not ignore it. It was just that Lin Feng had a close relationship with the Dragon Mountain Base, so Long Duo naturally did not want anything to happen to Lin Feng.
After leaving the research institute, Lin Feng packed up briefly. In reality, there was nothing much to pack. Originally, he wanted to bring some things for his parents and sister when he returned home.
However, after what had happened to Yu Shan, how could he be in the mood to go shopping? Furthermore, he would not return to Central Sea for the time being. He had to make a trip to Stone City as soon as possible.
Fortunately, the human government had deployed many spaceships. As long as people passed the test, they could board the spaceships. Stone City was the transportation hub at the intersection of three rivers. Naturally, there were direct flights there.
Relying on his identity as an inhuman expert, Lin Feng moved directly into the VIP cabin. The spaceship also set off very quickly. Looking out the window at the slowly disappearing Dragonlith City, Lin Feng's gaze was very calm.
However, beneath his calmness was a frigid killing intent. Lin Feng had never had such a strong killing intent as he did now!
"Yu Shan, wait for me. I'm almost there…"
Under the bright light, Chang Xi was busy in the kitchen.
She was in a very good mood, and even started humming a little tune. Ever since she learned that Lin Feng was coming to Stone City personally, she felt as if the dark clouds above her had dissipated.
More importantly, the cheerful, optimistic, and determined Yu Shan had returned. Chang Xi had nothing to be dissatisfied about. Although he had been driven out of the sanatorium, the two of them rented a small apartment, and had a blissful time alone together.
Chang Xi quickly prepared dinner, then went to her room and pushed Yu Shan, who was watching the news online, out.
"Smells good." Yu Shan said with a smile. "Of course. Don't you know who made it?" Watching Yu Shan eat with relish, Chang Xi felt joy from the bottom of her heart. Life was just that simple. Eating and chatting with people who loved each other, without thinking about frustrating things. It was warmth and happiness!
"Yu Shan, tell me properly. What kind of person is that Lin Feng?"
"Oh, it's Lin Feng. This is the first time I've seen him. Although he's rather aloof, he actually looks very youthful. He's just a young man. Perhaps he's even a genius student of the Myriad Academy…"
Yu Shan also slowly recalled the scenes of fighting alongside Lin Feng appeared in his mind.
Suddenly, Yu Shan stopped. Immediately after, he slowly turned around and looked at the door with a somber expression. He said coldly, "Since you're already here, why are you staying outside?"
Bang.
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was violently broken open, revealing the figures of a few strangers outside.

Chapter 108 You Know Nothing
"Who are you? What are you trying to do?"
Seeing the stranger outside the door, Chang Xi stood up immediately and shielded Yu Shan behind her.
"Xiaoxi, get behind me. They're all martial artists."
Yu Shan tugged at Chang Xi, but his expression was very complicated.
"Big brother."
A familiar figure appeared outside the door. Chang Xi's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Yu Shui, why is it you? Don't mess around. I'll call the police."
Chang Xi wanted to rush out and reason with Yu Shui, but Yu Shan held her back tightly.
Yu Shui's expression was very conflicted. He shook his head and said, "Sister-in-law, I advise you not to do this. Stay here quietly. I want to talk to big brother for a while." Chang Xi was still about to say something, but Yu Shan shook his head. She could only hold it in.
Yu Shui walked in, followed by five martial artists.
Chang Xi could not read the five martial artists, but Yu Shan could. The five of them were all Grade Nine professional martial artists, and they emitted traces of fiendish aura.
This was a temperament that could only be developed in mortal battles. Yu Shan knew it very well. Yu Shui's intention for bringing these five people here today probably wasn't that simple.
"Yu Shui, why did you come here again?"
Yu Shan stared intently at Yu Shui. He saw pity, pain, and unwillingness in Yu Shui's gaze. In short, it was very complicated, and even his eyes were bloodshot.
"Big brother, I'm calling you big brother for once from the bottom of my heart! When we were young, our family was very poor, and I was often bullied. You were the one who helped to drive away my bullies. You were also the one who carried the heavy burden of the family early on, practiced martial arts with all your might, and got to where you are today step by step.
"You're really too outstanding, so outstanding that I can't even lift my head before you. Every time you returned, I felt ashamed of my inferiority and didn't even want to talk to you much. Our parents only have praise for you, while they have nothing but beatings and scoldings for me.
"So, I envy you, and I'm even jealous of you. I also want to become someone like you. I also want to hold my head high in front of you, but I can't. I'm just an ordinary person who lacks ambition…"
Hearing Yu Shui's emotional narration of his mental journey, Yu Shan was unmoved. He sneered and said, "So you plotted to seize the wealth I risked my life for, so that you think you can hold your head high in front of me?"
"No, that's not it…"
Yu Shui was about to say something, but hesitated. In the end, he did not say anything. It was a fact that he had plotted to seize Yu Shan's wealth. What else was there to say?
"Big brother, you really can't forgive me?"
"If you want my forgiveness now, why hadn't you thought of getting my forgiveness when you did these things?".
Yu Shui really despaired. As expected, his big brother was unwilling to forgive him.
He suddenly stood up and roared hysterically, "Why? Why won't you forgive me? Why must you give no quarters? Big brother, my dear big brother, you forced me to do all of this. I didn't want to do this either. You forced me…"
Seeing that Yu Shui's somewhat agitated expression, Yu Shan had a vague premonition. He immediately became alert.
At the same time, Yu Shui nodded at the five martial artists behind him. Immediately, the five of them attacked.
"What are you doing?"
Yu Shan pushed with both hands, wanting to send a palm strike out. However, he had no legs and could barely support himself. His movements were impeded, and he could only forcefully clash with one of the martial artists.
Bang.
Yu Shan barely managed to withstand a palm strike from his opponent, but there were five people on the other side. The other four immediately closed in and attacked together. With a few palm strikes, Yu Shan was heavily injured.
"Huh? You people…"
Chang Xi rushed over, but was grabbed by Yu Shui directly. He struck the back of her neck and she fainted. Yu Shan's eyes were filled with incomparable rage as he roared, "Yu Shui, let Xiaoxi go. If you want anything, come at me!"
Yu Shui's face was a little pale, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Big brother, this is all because you forced me. I didn't want to do this either. Couldn't you just stay in the sanatorium? Why did you have to try to take back the money? Why did you have to contact your friends?"
"Second brother, listen to me. Let Xiaoxi go. I'll forgive you. I'll forgive you for everything. Let Xiaoxi go."
Yu Shan couldn't care about much now. Nothing must happen to Chang Xi, or he would never be able to forgive himself.
"Big brother, you won't forgive me. This is the only thing I can do now…"
Yu Shui made up his mind and nodded at the martial artists behind him. Immediately, a few martial artists walked towards Yu Shan viciously.
Boom.
The room was also lit up by a few martial artists. Soon, a raging inferno ignited, burning all traces of guilt to ashes.
Thud.
The door of the clubhouse was pushed open, and a haggard Yu Shui walked in.
Zhang Hui's eyes narrowed slightly. He smiled and asked, "Is it done?"
Yu Shui nodded. "It's done."
Zhang Hui looked intently at Yu Shui and nodded incessantly. "That's good. Where are the people who did it?"
"I gave them a sum of money. They've already left Stone City and gone overseas. They won't be back for some time."
"Very good. Looks like you did a good job. Pull yourself together. This isn't over yet. Now isn't the time for you to feel guilty. Think about the good days ahead. As long as you get through this, it'll be fine."
Zhang Hui patted Yu Shui's shoulder.
"What else do I need to do?"
"You have to manage your big brother's funeral, of course, and it has to be a grand affair. The sooner, the better. It'd best if it starts tomorrow. According to the news I received, Dragonlith City has already lifted its martial law. Moreover, Lin Feng's name is on the spaceship of the airline company. He'll probably arrive at Stone City tomorrow. I spent a lot of effort to investigate Lin Feng's whereabouts."
Pausing, Young Master Zhang saw that Yu Shui was a little afraid, so he continued, "Don't worry. When the time comes, even if Lin Feng arrives, your eldest brother is already dead and his corpse is burned to ashes. What can he do?"
"It's that simple? What if Lin Feng doesn't believe me and insists on investigating?"
"Then let him investigate. Everyone knows about the discord between you and your brother, but everything has to be backed by evidence. He has no proof. Do you understand?"
"Didn't you say that inhuman experts can kill people directly? So what if there's no evidence? If Lin Feng goes ballistic, I'll be in danger."
Yu Shui was not too stupid, so he looked a little worried.
"Haha, what's the matter? I'll call Chief Liu tomorrow. You're also a rich tycoon in Stone City, and your brother is a high-level martial artist. Now that he's dead, how can Chief Liu not come to the funeral? As long as Chief Liu comes, he'll represent the police station. How can Lin Feng possibly dare to kill you in public, especially in front of the police?"
"That's true."
Hearing Young Master Zhang's words, Yu Shui felt relieved. He even wanted to invite more celebrities and people from the upper class tomorrow. Among the upper class, not only did he need to invite the police chief, he also wanted to invite some high-ranking officials in the government, some minor military officers in the armed forces, and some wealthy businessmen. He would invite everyone he could.
Then, even if Lin Feng came, no matter how furious he was, before so many upper-class people in public, even inhuman experts probably would not dare to kill casually.
"All right, go back and sleep first. Rest well and conserve your energy. You still need to deal with Lin Feng tomorrow."
Yu Shui nodded, stood up, and left the clubhouse.
Seeing Yu Shui leave, a cold smile appeared on Zhang Hui's lips. "Don't blame me. You're the one who's so foolish that you know nothing about inhuman experts. For a genius who attained the Hero of Humanity Medal and broke the genetic lock at the age of 20, so what if he really kills you? But that's just as well. You'll be dead, and Lin Feng will be punished. Then this matter can be considered over, and I'll be safe…"
Zhang Hui opened a bottle of red wine and took a light sniff. Not bad, it was really intoxicating. If Yu Shui died, only Zhang Hui would know about his secret accounts.
Perhaps after a year or so, when the limelight was over, he could still take the money in Yu Shui's secret account for himself. This feeling of being in control of everything was simply wonderful…

Chapter 109 Funeral
At the Stone City terminal, Lin Feng walked out of the spaceship. The first thing he did was pick up his communicator and prepare to contact Yu Shan.
Beep-beep-beep… He could not reach him on the communicator. Lin Feng tried a few more times, but still could not get through.
For a moment, Lin Feng had a bad feeling.
"I hope I'm just overthinking things. Otherwise…"
Lin Feng was very calm, so calm that it was a little terrifying. Even the ordinary people around Lin Feng felt a bone-piercing chill, and did not dare to approach Lin Feng.
He could not get through to Yu Shan's communicator. More importantly, apart from Yu Shan, Lin Feng did not know anyone in Stone City. He did not even know where Yu Shan lived.
He didn't have time to investigate slowly. Hence, he went straight to the VIP room at the terminal.
"Hello, what service do you need?" The receptionist lady at the VIP room smiled sweetly.
Thud.
Lin Feng directly took out the identity card of the "inhuman expert" and said coldly, "Call your in-charge over."
Inhuman experts had special privileges. Being able to work as the receptionist in the VIP room, she naturally knew the meaning of this identity card.
"Please wait a moment."
Soon, the receptionist called a middle-aged man over. He was wearing a formal suit and had a respectful look on his face. "It's Mr. Lin Feng, right? I'm the person in charge here. What service do you need?" "You know my identity?"
Lin Feng was a little surprised. He had only taken out the proof as inhuman expert and had not directly stated his identity. "Mr. Lin Feng, you must be joking. We are specially responsible for serving distinguished guests. We have inhuman experts like you in our database. Whatever you need, we will provide the best service we can."
"All right, I need a car and a driver. Do you know the Yu Family of Stone City? There's an injured martial artist, Yu Shan, among them."
"Yu Family, injured martial artist?"
The middle-aged man pondered for a moment and nodded. "Of course I know. A lot has happened in their family recently. Are you here to attend Yu Shan's funeral?".
"Yeah. What did you say? Yu Shan's funeral?"
Lin Feng stood up suddenly. He was like a ferocious beast. His gaze was sharp as a blade, and his aura pressed down like Mount Tai, making it difficult for the middle-aged man to even speak.
Even the surrounding people noticed something amiss and hurriedly distanced themselves from Lin Feng.
"Mr. Lin Feng, please listen to me. The Yu family is holding a memorial service for Yu Shan today. Didn't you come to attend Yu Shan's funeral?"
The middle-aged man felt that his entire body was covered in sweat, as if he had just been fished out of water. It was too frightening. Even though he had seen many inhuman experts, he had never seen an inhuman expert who had "lost his composure" to Lin Feng's extent.
How important must it be to make an inhuman lose his composure?
Lin Feng fell silent. He was like a dormant volcano that might erupt at any moment.
Yu Shan was dead? Lin Feng did not want to believe it, nor could he believe it!
After a long while, Lin Feng closed his eyes and said icily, "Prepare a car for me. Go straight to the Yu family!"
"Mr. Lin Feng, please wait a moment. We'll get ready immediately."
The middle-aged man fled. It was not a pleasant thing to serve these inhuman experts, especially Lin Feng. He looked like he was about to kill someone just now. It was really too terrifying
Many people came to the Yu family's villa today.
Mr. and Mrs. Yu cried until their eyes were swollen. They could not believe that their son, Yu Shan, had died just like that, and in a fire. He had been burned beyond recognition.
Yu Shan was not the only one who died. Yu Shan's girlfriend was also burned to death. His parents were indeed deeply grieved to have lost their son in their old age. They did not even have the heart to organize their funeral. The funeral was all managed by their second son, Yu Shui.
Yu Shui got busy and left his eldest brother Yu Shan's farewell ceremony at home. Fortunately, his house was a large villa and the place was also very spacious, enough to accommodate the many people who came to attend the funeral.
There were even some police officers who came to maintain order at the scene. After all, the Yu family was not an ordinary family. Moreover, the police station was under a lot of pressure regarding this matter.
They were still investigating this matter. How did the place suddenly catch fire and burn Yu Shan to death?
The police chief also came to the funeral. He knew Yu Shui. After offering incense, he found Yu Shui.
"Chief Liu, how's the investigation going? Was my brother's death someone's doing or an accident?" Chief Liu glanced at Yu Shui and shook his head. "It's still very difficult to determine for now, but don't worry. If it's someone's doing, I'll definitely catch the murderer!"
"Thank you for your work, Chief Liu."
Yu Shui's expression was filled with gratitude, and his attitude was very sincere.
As time passed, many upper-class people from not only the police station, but also the Department of Armed Forces, the Martial Artists Association, the government officials, the elites of the business world, and so on also arrived at the Yu Family villa.
Even though some things that happened to the Yu family during this period of time had almost made them a joke to the entire upper class of Stone City, now that they saw Yu Shui hosting everyone respectfully and busying himself with preparations for the funeral, many people still secretly nodded in affirmation.
The second son of the Yu family seemed to be becoming more and more composed. That made sense. Now that the eldest son of the Yu family was dead, the Yu family naturally had to rely on the second son. If the second son was not composed, he might not even be able to keep his family properties. The family might even fall completely in a few years.
It was not that no one felt that this matter was bizarre. The Yu brothers were not on good terms, and now that their eldest brother, Yu Shan, had suddenly died, no matter how one looked at it, it was very strange. However, if even the police did not step forward to suspect Yu Shui, what could they say?
In any case, they just had to show Yu Shui and the Yu family some respect by coming to Yu Shan's funeral. The rest had nothing to do with them.
More and more people arrived at the Yu family's place. It was time for the funeral, but Yu Shui would look up at the door of the villa from time to time. He seemed to be waiting for something
"Second brother, the funeral has begun. Let everyone offer incense."
Mr. Yu's eyes were red. He was old, so he could only leave these matters to his second son.
"All right, the farewell ceremony will begin immediately."
Yu Shui frowned. He didn't see the person who should have appeared, and felt a little uneasy. Could it be that person wouldn't come?
Yu Shui was a little absent-minded, but the farewell ceremony had to begin. For a time, mournful music sounded. Those who came to participate in Yu Shan's funeral all came forward to offer incense respectfully.
Smoke lingered in the villa. Yu Shui expressed his gratitude to those who came to participate in the ceremony one by one, but the longer time passed, the more unsettled he felt. "Is he really not coming?"
Yu Shui muttered softly. He didn't quite believe in Young Master Zhang's information anymore.
At this moment, a young man in his twenties suddenly appeared outside the villa's door. His expression was cold as he stared straight at Yu Shan's portrait. He walked in as if no one else was around.
"He's here!"
Seeing this cold man, Yu Shui's heart tightened, and his expression immediately turned solemn.

Chapter 110 You Deserve to Die!
Lin Feng arrived at the Yu family villa. When he entered the living room, the first thing he saw was the huge portrait in front of him.
Yu Shan was his brother and good friend, the one who went through life-or-death with him. But now, the two of them were separated forever!
Lin Feng still remembered how, against the three dire beast kings in the decisive battle, Shui Yuansheng had heroically sacrificed himself, and Gao Tianci also died in a tragic and courageous death. Yu Shan had been about to sacrifice himself too, but Lin Feng had saved him.
Saving his life had not made Lin Feng too happy, because Yu Shan's path of martial arts had been severed. Having lost his legs, Yu Shan seemed to have lost all the brilliance of life, and all hope.
Yu Shan left silently and left without a word. Actually, Lin Feng never blamed Yu Shan at all. If it were him, he would probably do the same if his path of martial arts were severed. Lin Feng arrived in front of Yu Shan's portrait step by step. Yu Shui was about to take a step forward, but when Lin Feng glared at him, he felt as if he had been plunged into a millennia-old ice cavern. Cold sweat broke out all over his body, and he did not dare to step forward.
As for the others, their mouths were already agape when they saw Lin Feng, looking incredulous.
Clearly, they all recognized Lin Feng. After all, Lin Feng was no longer a no-name. This was especially since the Screwworm crisis. Lin Feng had turned the tide and saved the three million citizens of Dragonlith City. He had also broken the genetic lock and obtained the Hero of Humanity Medal. Everyone knew about it.
Not to mention that the special "documentary" by the Dragonlith City Television Station had also pushed Lin Feng's reputation to the extreme.
"How could it be Lin Feng?" "Looks like the eldest son of the Yu family is really lucky. He must be comrades with Lin Feng. I remember that the eldest son of the Yu family was also at the Dragon Mountain Base?"
"That's right. The eldest son of the Yu family was once a student of the Myriad Academy, and so was Lin Feng. The two of them were at the Dragon Mountain Base together, and had fought alongside each other before, building a deep friendship. Tsk tsk, unfortunately, Yu Shan's life is too short."
"If Yu Shan were still alive, with the appearance of Lin Feng at the Yu family, the Yu family would be considered to be on the next level in all of Stone City. Alas, what a pity. The Yu family only has the second son, Yu Shui, who lacks ambition."
"Heh, do you think this matter is that simple? Yu Shan has just died, and Lin Feng has already come. How can things be so coincidental? I don't think it's that simple. Yu Shan's death in itself is already very strange. Looking at Lin Feng, he's not so easy to fool. Let's just wait and watch the show."
Although these people were all here to attend the funeral, in reality, they had nothing much to do with the Yu family. They were all here because Yu Shui took the initiative to invite them to the funeral. They were just giving them face.
Being able to see Lin Feng's arrival now was already a pleasant surprise. As for what would happen to the Yu family, it had nothing to do with them. They were even happy to see the joke.
However, Yu Shui could not find anything amusing about it. Previously, he had already "planned" what to say, but after seeing Lin Feng, he realized that he did not seem able to say anything. He could barely suppress the fear in his heart.
Lin Feng lit an incense stick gently and respectfully inserted it in front of Yu Shan's portrait. His expression was very calm, even terrifyingly so. Even though many people recognized Lin Feng's identity, no one spoke. The atmosphere in the entire hall appeared very strange.
"Yu Shan, I promised you back then that once I broke the genetic lock, I would agree to any request from you! Unfortunately, I've still come too late…"
Lin Feng chatted casually, like old friends chit-chatting with each other. But the calmer he was, the more hair-raising it felt.
Everyone could see it was the calm before the storm. Lin Feng was like a volcano about to erupt!
"What should I do?"
Seeing how calm Lin Feng was, Yu Shui was almost going insane. The atmosphere was too oppressive. He was afraid that he could not withstand the pressure. The weather clearly wasn't hot, but the clothes on his back were already completely soaked.
Yu Shui could no longer sit back and do nothing. He could not let the oppressive atmosphere be.
Just as Yu Shui took a step forward and was about to say something, Lin Feng suddenly turned around. His gaze swept across Yu Shui like a blade.
"You're Yu Shui?" Lin Feng asked calmly.
"Yes, I'm Yu Shan's younger brother, Yu Shui. Mr. Lin Feng, you came all the way to Stone City. Why don't you go and rest for a while first?"
Yu Shui barely suppressed the panic in his heart and said cautiously.
Lin Feng, however, closed his eyes slightly, before they snapped open all of a sudden. "You deserve to die!"
"What?"
Yu Shui did not expect Lin Feng to launch an attack just like this, without any warning.
"I said you deserve to die! You killed Yu Shan. Even death by a thousand cuts is not too many for you!"
Lin Feng walked towards Yu Shui step by step. At this moment, his killing intent was boiling!
Yu Shui began to get frightened. He took a step back and said, "Mr. Lin Feng, what are you talking about? My brother died in a fire. For now, the police are still investigating whether it was an accident or a crime."
Yu Shui looked at Chief Liu, who cursed silently. Since Yu Shui had already mentioned the police station, he had to step forward and explain.
Hence, Chief Liu took a step forward and explained in a low voice, "Mr. Lin Feng, regarding Yu Shan's death, we are also very pained. Currently, we are still investigating. As long as there is any evidence, we will take measures and absolutely not allow the murderer to get away with it. However, according to our investigation, whether Yu Shan's death was an accident or a homicide has yet to be determined. We still need to find more evidence…"
"Evidence? There's no need. You're a police officer, so you should know that I have a license to kill, right? No matter who they are, anyone who's involved in the murder of Yu Shan cannot escape!"
Chief Liu saw Lin Feng approaching Yu Shui step by step. At this moment, he also felt that something was amiss. It was as if Lin Feng had already determined that Yu Shui had killed Yu Shan.
Heavens, if Lin Feng really killed Yu Shui here, he did not know if Lin Feng would come out of it fine, but as the Chief, this would definitely be the end of his career.
"Mr. Lin Feng, you are an inhuman expert. You must have signed the Inhuman Agreement, so you can't act recklessly. Please calm down and believe the police station will definitely investigate the matter thoroughly." "Investigate the matter thoroughly? Haha, so what? I said Yu Shui is guilty. Can you kill him now? You can't. You can't do anything. Yu Shan risked his life at the frontline and fought with dire beasts. You people enjoyed peace and stability in the back, but scheme to murder Yu Shan."
"Evidence? There's no need for so much trouble."
The aura on Lin Feng's body gradually emanated. He was like a dire beast that sought to devour people. Everyone was on edge.
Chief Liu gritted his teeth and said, "Lin Feng, you are an inhuman expert, but you have to abide by the Inhuman Agreement! There are people from the government, the armed forces, and the Martial Arts Association here. If you don't trust the police, can you not trust these departments too?"
Chief Liu was sweating profusely now. He did not even hesitate to bring up the other departments. Whatever happened, he had to stop Lin Feng. Otherwise, if an inhuman expert like Lin Feng attacked, the consequences would be unthinkable.

Chapter 111 Repaid in Blood
"Is that so?"
Lin Feng looked at Chief Liu coldly, then turned his gaze to the crowd.
"Where are the people from the Martial Arts Association?"
"Mr. Lin Feng, I am the representative of the Martial Arts Association. Our Martial Arts Association also knows a little about Yu Shan's matter. We are deeply regretful about the accident that happened to Yu Shan. However, please believe in the Martial Arts Association. We will definitely continue to pay attention to this matter until the truth is uncovered."
The one who spoke was an old man in his fifties. He had a tall stature and vigorous energy. With a glance, one could tell that he was a high-level martial artist.
However, Lin Feng snorted coldly and said, "Yu Shan is a member of your Martial Arts Association, right? He once sought your help, but what did you do?"
The old man was a little embarrassed. He shook his head and said, "Yu Shan did seek help from our Martial Artist Association before, but that's a different matter. Regarding the matter of the family property, our Martial Artist Association can't do anything either. After all, that's the Yu family's business. We can only provide Yu Shan the necessary legal aid…"
"Haha, 'can't do anything'. That's rich. Is this how your Martial Artist Association protects the interests of martial artists?"
Lin Feng threw his head back and laughed aloud, making the people from the Martial Arts Association feel very awkward.
"Who's from the government department?"
"I'm the Mayor's Secretary."
"Yu Shan went to court to fight a lawsuit before, no? What was your government's verdict?" "Due to insufficient evidence, we dismissed Yu Shan's litigation request."
"What insufficient evidence? Even if you're blind, you should know who earned the Yu family's money. Yet you lie through your teeth with indifference."
Lin Feng pointed out the people from the government and the Martial Artists Association one by one. In the end, the people from the Department of Armed Forces walked up directly, and they were two high-level martial artists.
"Mr. Lin Feng, according to the Inhuman Agreement, you can't attack ordinary people at will unless they have offended you. However, we saw with our own eyes that no one has offended you. If you act recklessly, the Department of Armed Forces will take the necessary measures against you."
"Haha, necessary measures. I fight bloody battles at the frontline and protect homes on the homefront with my life, while you're going to take the necessary measures against me?"
Lin Feng was very disappointed, completely so.
Swoosh.
Lin Feng did not say anything else. Instead, he turned around and stared coldly at Yu Shui.
"You really deserve to die!"
Swoosh.
Lin Feng made his move. He actually grabbed towards Yu Shui directly. The terrifying force seemed to be compressing the surrounding air completely. The two high-level martial artists from the armed forces felt as if they were suppressed by a tremendous force, and could not move at all.
"Stop!"
The two high-level martial artists turned pale with fright. Chief Liu also trembled and wanted to draw his gun, but he did not dare to. How could he dare to take out his gun when facing an inhuman expert? Once he took out his gun, an inhuman expert could kill him on the spot for the crime of offense.
Chief Liu was not the only one who did not dare to draw his gun. Even the two high-level martial artists from the Department of Armed Forces did not dare to stop him. This was no joke. Even inhuman experts who had signed the Inhuman Agreement had special privileges. Even if they committed crimes, inhuman experts had to be the ones who caught them, not professional martial artists like them.
Moreover, even if they tried to stop him, how could they stop an inhuman expert?
Thud.
Lin Feng grabbed the pale Yu Shui. At this moment, Yu Shui could only bite his lips tightly. His entire body trembled uncontrollably.
He was terrified. Being captured by an inhuman expert, whose frigid killing intent was almost about to condense into substance, made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. How could he possibly not be terrified?
"Lin Feng, my brother died in the fire, it wasn't me, it wasn't…"
"Kneel!"
Lin Feng did not listen to Yu Shui's explanation at all. With a light kick, Yu Shui's legs broke completely with a cracking sound.
Yu Shui screamed in pain. He involuntarily knelt down as he faced Yu Shan's portrait.
"Kowtow!"
Lin Feng's expression was apathetic, as if he could not hear Yu Shui's screams. Yu Shui did not kowtow. Lin Feng casually pressed down, and Yu Shui's forehead landed heavily on the ground.
Bang Bang Bang.
Once, twice, thrice…
Very soon, crimson blood seeped out of Yu Shui's forehead. However, Lin Feng still had no intention of stopping. Yu Shui wailed. He still wanted to argue, but the intense pain had already rendered him speechless.
The huge hall instantly fell silent. Everyone looked at Yu Shui's miserable appearance in shock. Only at this moment did they realize the severity of the matter, and realize how terrifying the anger of an inhuman expert was.
Hence, some people wanted to leave quietly. They did not want to watch the "show" anymore. After all, Lin Feng looked very dangerous. They did not want to put themselves in danger.
However, just as they were about to leave, it was as if Lin Feng knew. With a flash of movement, he directly slapped some people who wanted to leave back.
"No one can leave. Today is Yu Shan's funeral. All of you must participate!"
Lin Feng's words made everyone shudder. What was Lin Feng doing? Was he insane?
It had to be known that the people who came to attend the funeral today were all elites of Stone City's high society. Even an inhuman expert had no right to detain them.
"No, we want to leave. You have no right to detain us."
"Lin Feng, according to the Inhuman Agreement, you have to abide by the law too. You can't detain us privately."
"Lin Feng, no matter how angry you are, you have to have evidence. If you think Yu Shui is guilty, find the evidence. What's the point of detaining us? Moreover, you're not the only inhuman in Stone City. If the inhuman experts from the Ministry of Armed Forces and the government department arrive, you'll be in trouble."
These people were all clamoring to leave, but Lin Feng was unmoved. He only made Yu Shui kowtow hard again and again.
Yu Shui wanted to beg for mercy, but he had lost too much blood and was in a daze. How could he still have the strength to speak? Moreover, would begging for mercy do any good now? He could not compromise until the last moment. He had to grit his teeth and endure. He absolutely could not back down on his spiel, or he would really be finished.
By this time, a trace of ruthless determination appeared in Yu Shui instead.
Buzz.
Suddenly, a small spaceship landed outside the Yu family villa. Four martial artists suddenly jumped off the spaceship. Judging from their auras, they were not ordinary martial artists, but Metamorphic Realm martial artists who had broken the genetic lock.
Four Metamorphic Realm martial artists quickly rushed to the Yu family. Seeing Lin Feng pressing Yu Shui to constantly kowtowing, one of the martial artists shouted, "Lin Feng, stop at once! Your actions have already violated the Inhuman Agreement. If you don't stop now, we have the right to take you down!"
The four Metamorphic Realm martial artists were travel-worn. They had all rushed over from the Ministry of Armed Forces and the government department. They were "law enforcement officers" who specialized in dealing with matters regarding inhuman experts.
According to the Inhuman Agreement, if inhuman experts caused serious damage to society, they had the right to capture or even kill them directly!
Seeing that the enforcement team of four inhuman experts had arrived, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. With four inhuman experts around, even if Lin Feng really went berserk, their lives would probably be saved.
Hence, all the upper-class elites complained to the four inhuman law enforcement teams one after another, requesting them to deal with Lin Feng seriously, saying that they must not allow Lin Feng to act recklessly, or the impact would be extremely adverse.
"Silence!"
Looking at the chaotic scene in front of them, the four inhuman experts could not help but roar. They were here to try their best to resolve Lin Feng's anger, not to really capture Lin Feng. If they angered Lin Feng and caused huge casualties, even the law-enforcement team could not escape the blame.
"Lin Feng, what exactly do you want?"
Finally, Lin Feng turned around. He glanced at Yu Shui, who was sprawled on the ground like mud, and said coldly, "What I want is very simple. A debt of blood must be repaid in blood!"

Chapter 112 Battle Between Inhumans
"No, Lin Feng, you absolutely can't kill people privately in Stone City! Inhuman experts signed the Inhuman Agreement. I think you know the contents of it very well. Even if Yu Shui has committed a crime, evidence must be collected and he must be judged by the court of the government. You can't lynch him!"
The four law enforcement officers said firmly. There was no room for negotiation on this point, because this involved an important question. Could the administrative power of the government restrain inhuman experts?
Regarding this question, the government faction, military faction, and the other three major factions had all engaged in an intense debate back then. In the end, the five major factions managed to come to a compromise.
If inhuman experts in any of the five major factions, regardless of which, really wantonly slaughtered and destroyed the stability of society, the government had the right to deal with those inhuman experts.
Right now, Lin Feng clearly wanted to do it himself. He did not even need evidence. This was breaking the agreement between the five major factions, and breaking the rules.
Therefore, the four law enforcement officers were very furious. They were all from law enforcement teams jointly formed by the government and military factions. Naturally, they had to uphold this rule.
"Evidence, evidence again… Heh."
Lin Feng glanced at Yu Shan's portrait. Back then, Yu Shan could do nothing about Yu Shui precisely because he had no evidence, but was it true that there was really no evidence?
He's afraid not. Nothing was flawless. Even if Yu Shui laundered the money, no matter how complicated the money laundering method was, as long as one was focused on investigating, how could they not find any clues?
Or rather, how could a useless and incompetent profligate heir like Yu Shui earn so much money "legitimately"? If they investigated carefully, could they really not find any clues?
Everything was about care. As long as they investigated carefully, thoroughly, and took time to do so, no matter how seamless Yu Shui's actions were, it could not possibly leave behind no clues at all.
But in reality?
Yu Shan went to all the departments. He asked for the Martial Artists Association's help, but no one responded. He went to the court, but was rejected again. What was the reason? It was only because Yu Shan was no longer a high-level martial artist, and was just a cripple who had lost his legs. No one was willing to waste time and effort to help Yu Shan for no gain.
Up until today, even in Yu Shan's death, no one stepped forward. Lin Feng was very disappointed and bitterly disillusioned. He could not imagine that this was how the people in the government and the people enjoying peace on the homefront treated a martial artist with merits.
Yu Shan must have been disheartened back then, too, and could not even bring himself to seek Lin Feng's help. It was Yu Shan's girlfriend who secretly requested Lin Feng's help. Corruption, degeneration, and long years of stability had caused many people in the city to completely devolve. They had even forgotten the countless dire beasts lying in wait around them.
They seemed to have forgotten who gave them such a stable life.
It was those martial artists who put their lives on the line, who fought bloody battles at the frontline, who risked themselves against all odds! And this was how they treated a meritorious martial artist who had lost his legs?
"There's no need for evidence. If I want to kill someone, no one can stop me!"
Lin Feng's gaze became sharp, and it contained a fearsome killing intent. This killing intent even made the four law enforcement officers, who were also Metamorphic Realm martial artists, palpitate.
As expected of martial artists who fought at the frontline. Compared to martial artists who enjoyed peace and stability in the city, martial artists who constantly fought with dire beasts at the frontline were undoubtedly more terrifying!
"Lin Feng, your current actions are very dangerous. According to Article 36 of the Inhuman Agreement, we hereby announce your arrest!"
"You think you can do it?"
"Attack!" The four law enforcement officers made their move. Two of them were very fast, and there seemed to be wind flowing around their bodies. They approached Lin Feng with only a few steps. These were true Metamorphic Realm martial artists. It was also Lin Feng's first time fighting Metamorphic Realm martial artists. Although Lin Feng had suppressed 30 demons back in Dragonlith City, those demons were still very different from true Metamorphic Realm martial artists.
In the past, Lin Feng might have been very willing to "spar" or "interact" with some Metamorphic Realm martial artists. He might even be very willing to see the innate abilities of Metamorphic Realm martial artists.
But right now, Lin Feng was not in the mood. Hence, Lin Feng moved as well. He did not even take a step back. He raised his hand and threw a fierce punch. Moreover, he threw both fists at the same time.
"One Spiral Force!"
Lin Feng did not dodge or defend himself at all. He attacked the two Metamorphic Realm martial artists with both hands.
The two Metamorphic Realm martial artists were shocked. Was Lin Feng insane? He was clearly trading injuries for injuries. They were only capturing Lin Feng and had never even thought of injuring him. They would not trade injuries for injuries like this.
Moreover, how powerful was Lin Feng? Even from afar, they could still feel the whistling of the air. If it landed a solid hit, they would definitely feel terrible.
However, the speed of Lin Feng's punches was very fast, and the explosive power was unparalleled. How could it be so easy for the two of them to stop midway?
Boom.
se V
How intense was the battle between the inhuman experts? After a head-on clash between the three of them, it was as if an earthquake had occurred. The ground immediately cracked, and dense spiderweb-like cracks covered the tiles.
At the same time, two powerful forces struck Lin Feng. However, his body shook once, and the powerful undying characteristic allowed him to immediately return to his original state, as if he was completely uninjured.
On the other hand, a moment unaware caused the two Metamorphic Realm martial artists to be sent flying by Lin Feng. Even though he had only unleashed a Spiral Force, how could a force of more than 700 tons be ordinary?
The two of them were injured from a single strike. They were not Screwworms, and did not have much regenerative ability. Hence, the two of them practically lost their combat ability with a single strike. This was still the result of Lin Feng withdrawing his strength. Otherwise, the two of them would have died from a single strike.
"Hss."
The other two martial artists, who were slightly slower, could not help but gasp. What did they see? Lin Feng had actually defeated two Metamorphic Realm martial artists in one move. This was despite the fact that Lin Feng had just broken the genetic lock, and his body had not even undergone a complete metamorphosis.
How could this be possible?
However, the battle occurred in a flash. After Lin Feng defeated two Metamorphic Realm martial artists with a single move, he suddenly stomped his feet.
Boom.
The entire villa seemed to be shaking. At the same time, he flew towards the two law enforcement officers like a cannonball.
"Retreat, pull back, and fight with innate abilities! This Lin Feng should be a strength-type martial artist. His strength is very terrifying. Don't fight head-on." As expected of a Metamorphic Realm martial artist, he was experienced. Compared to those Screwworm demons, although he did not have the undying characteristic, his combat methods were more agile and varied. Just now, Lin Feng had used the unfamiliarity between the two parties to severely injure two Metamorphic Realm martial artists at once. It would not be so easy to follow the same pattern now.
The two law enforcement officers hurriedly retreated and left the villa in the blink of an eye. Lin Feng naturally followed closely and chased after the two of them.

Chapter 113 Not Dead Yet!
Whoosh.
In running and pursuing, the three of them rushed out of the villa and arrived above a garden outside the villa.
This was a villa area, and the population was not dense. Hence, the three of them stood in the air and faced each other.
"Lin Feng, stubbornness would do you no good."
However, Lin Feng did not say anything. He only stared at the two of them coldly.
"Hmph, do it."
The two of them were dignified inhuman experts. Since Lin Feng did not listen to their advice, they would not hold back anymore.
"Flame."
One of the inhuman experts stretched out his hand and opened it. His entire body actually ignited with raging flames, as if he had transformed into a huge flaming man that stretched across the void.
The other person was not to be outdone. He extended his hand and pointed. The surrounding void seemed to turn cold all of a sudden. The trees and flowers in the garden were all frozen into ice sculptures at once. These were the innate abilities awakened by the two inhuman experts, fire and ice. These were the most ordinary innate abilities, but also the most practical ones.
In particular, the two of them were planning to fight Lin Feng head-on now. They were going to rely on their innate abilities to suppress Lin Feng. "Freeze!"
Suddenly, the martial artist who had awakened his ice innate talent clapped his hands together hard. An icy aura enveloped Lin Feng, as if countless cold auras were surging towards him from all directions.
Snap.
Lin Feng's legs were frozen. It was difficult for him to even take a step.
However, his strength was incredibly powerful. With just a light shake, the ice crystal shattered. At the same time, however, an unending stream of cold air enveloped Lin Feng and continued to freeze him.
As time passed, Lin Feng's body was also frozen, and he quickly froze into an ice sculpture.
An ice sculpture stretched across the void. It looked so strange. This scene even attracted the attention of many ordinary people in the villa area.
How rare was it for flames and ice to fly in mid-air?
However, the people in the villa area were not ignorant. Although inhuman experts rarely displayed powerful abilities in front of the public, everyone knew that only inhuman experts could walk in the air.
Without a doubt, these were three inhuman experts, and they were clearly fighting a great battle.
Some people had even started filming videos and uploaded them online quickly.
This video was too special. A battle between inhumans. How rare was it?
Hence, the video was quickly disseminated and swiftly became viral on the Internet.
"A battle between three inhuman experts is really rare. Moreover, it seems to be in the residential area. Are the inhuman experts not afraid of accidentally injuring others if they dare to fight in the residential area?"
"Those two people's clothes seem to be law enforcement officers. The law enforcement officers specialize in targeting inhuman experts who wreak wanton destruction. The people they want to arrest would be an inhuman expert too.' "Eh? Didn't you guys realize that the person they're arresting looks very familiar? Wait a minute, let me think. He seems to be Lin Feng, the hero of Dragonlith City from some time
ago?"
"What? It really seems to be Lin Feng. Why would the law enforcement officers clash with Lin Feng? Lin Feng is a Hero of Humanity who just obtained the Hero of Humanity Medal!"
The Internet was already in an uproar. Keywords such as the inhuman expert battle, the law enforcement officers, Hero of Humanity, Lin Feng, and so on had almost spread throughout the Internet. Many people wanted to know the truth. Why would a Hero of Humanity conflict with the law enforcement team?
Things were developing too quickly. After all, Lin Feng's identity was very special. In history, no hero who had obtained the Hero of Humanity Medal had ever clashed with the enforcement team.
If the situation escalated further, it would likely cause a huge uproar.
Hence, the government department was furious. The law enforcement team belonged to the government department. It was a special institution established jointly after consultation by the five major factions.
Even inhuman experts could not resist the law enforcement team. This was the administrative authority of the government!
Hence, the government department immediately sent more inhuman experts. They had to control Lin Feng and stop the situation from escalating further.
In the sky above the villa, although Lin Feng was frozen, the two law enforcement officers were still very cautious.
This was because Lin Feng had not fallen and was still standing in the air. What did this mean? It meant that freezing was useless against Lin Feng.
Snap.
As expected, not long after, the thick ice crystals immediately shattered, and the ice shards fell to the ground. Lin Feng broke out of the ice without any injuries on his body.
This was the other party's innate ability. Unfortunately, it was too weak and could not seal Lin Feng at all. As for the other person's flames, why did he not take the opportunity to attack when Lin Feng was frozen?
Actually, it was because they still had reservations. Even now, they did not dare to really kill Lin Feng. Everyone knew how special Lin Feng's identity was. Killing a Hero of Humanity? That's absurd. It was impossible.
However, now that they missed this opportunity, they would not get another.
"Armor."
Lin Feng's gaze was cold. Some cuticle began to appear on his body, quickly enveloping his entire body, forming a layer of armor over his entire body. Sharp bone spikes protruded from his shoulders.
This was one of Lin Feng's innate abilities, armor!
After Lin Feng's body was covered in a layer of armor, he charged forward again, turning into a shadow.
"Freeze."
The law enforcement officer was unwilling to give up. He prepared to freeze Lin Feng on a large scale again.
Unfortunately, how could Lin Feng be frozen now that he had the armor? In fact, the armor destroyed the ice the moment it froze. With the armor, Lin Feng's innate ability could not even restrict Lin Feng's movements.
The other Metamorphic Realm martial artist's expression was grim as he suddenly threw a punch in the air.
Boom.
It was if the very air was trembling. A huge ball of flames charged towards Lin Feng in the blink of an eye.
Lin Feng paid no heed to it. He raised his hand and punched the flames. The flames dissipated instantly, and the aftershock rushed to Lin Feng's armor, unable to ignite it at all. Lin Feng did not know how strong the limit of his armor was, but it could resist fire and water with ease.
Seeing that Lin Feng had already charged over and they could no longer dodge, the two law enforcement officers finally went all out.
99 strands of Astral Power erupted from their bodies!
The power of ice erupted!
The power of flames erupted!
With the eruption of Astral Power, their strength increased by several times instantly. With 300 tons, 400 tons, 500 tons, or even 600 tons of strength, it was not inferior to one Spiral Force from Lin Feng at all.
"Two Spiral Forces!"
However, Lin Feng did not dodge at all. He only threw a light punch. With just one punch, the surrounding air seemed to have been compressed to the limit as a terrifying fist force erupted with a bang.
Boom.
Two Spiral Forces were equivalent to 700 tons of strength. In addition to the original 350 tons of strength, Lin Feng's punch contained more than 1,000 tons of strength. How powerful was this?
The force of the punch wreaked havoc. The two law enforcement officers unleashed all their strength. Their bodies were surrounded by ice and flames, but facing Lin Feng's terrifying punch, they were smashed into the ground without even touching Lin Feng.
"How is this possible…"
The two law enforcement officers created two huge pits in the ground as they looked at Lin Feng in disbelief. Between four law enforcement officers, they could not even injure Lin Feng Moreover, they also knew that Lin Feng must have held back. Otherwise, the four of them would probably be long dead.
Only at this moment did they understand the value of a "Hero of Humanity". It was not exaggerated at all. They accepted their defeat.
The people around the villa were also dumbfounded. Looking at the messy garden, it was like an apocalypse. Seeing the destructive power of inhuman experts with their own eyes, the shock in their hearts was incomparable.
Yu Shui was also dumbfounded. His legs had been broken. It was impossible for him to take the opportunity to escape now. He could only watch helplessly as Lin Feng, who was like a god of death, walked down from the sky step by step.
"It's your turn. Apologize before Yu Shan with your death!"
Lin Feng lifted Yu Shui and threw him in front of Yu Shan's portrait. No one could stop his determination to kill Yu Shui!
Yu Shui was truly afraid. He could sense the aura of death clearly. He knew that the man in front of him could kill him with a single slap. At this moment, he felt as if even the pain in his legs was nothing.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me. Big brother… big brother isn't dead yet!"
Like a pig sent to slaughter, Yu Shui's desperate howl echoed in the hall.

Chapter 114 I'm a Hero!
Yu Shui was sweating profusely. He was really frightened now. Lin Feng's cold gaze had completely shattered his will. Faced with death, how could he still dare to hide anything?
"What did you say?"
For the first time, Lin Feng's expression changed drastically. Even his body was trembling. It was due to excitement.
jas
"My big brother, Yu Shan, isn't dead. I never thought of killing him… No matter how profligate and how much of a bastard I am, I never thought of killing him…"
Yu Shui was already prostrating on the ground, almost bawling. His mental state had completely collapsed. All his calculations and schemes were useless before a killing god like Lin Feng
Inhuman experts were not just a term. Only after truly facing the anger of inhuman experts could one understand how terrifying inhuman experts were.
Originally, the upper echelons of elites who came to participate in Yu Shan's funeral also had stunned expressions when they heard Yu Shui's words. Yu Shan wasn't dead? What a joke!
However, looking at how Yu Shui was weeping, it did not seem like he was lying. Could it be that everyone had been fooled by Yu Shui?
At this moment, there was already an uproar on the Internet. A battle between inhuman experts was extremely rare, especially in a city. Moreover, it involved the Hero of Humanity, Lin Feng! Lin Feng had defeated four law enforcement officers in a row by himself. These law enforcement officers were all inhuman experts! In the past, without comparison, no one knew how powerful Lin Feng was as the Hero of Humanity. But now, with comparison, Lin Feng's ability to easily defeat four inhuman experts was very valuable.
It was far more direct and shocking than when Lin Feng had suppressed 30 Screwworm demons back then.
However, this also made some slightly confused. Why was Lin Feng raising such a big ruckus in the city?
In particular, Lin Feng had captured an ordinary person. What was he trying to do?
"The law enforcement officers won't act rashly. If they do, they must be enforcing the law. Could Lin Feng have caused some trouble?"
"Lin Feng looks like he wants to kill someone. His gaze is so terrifying."
"Even inhuman experts have to abide by the law. Even the Hero of Humanity can't act however he pleases."
"That's right. No matter what contributions Lin Feng had, he must abide by the law. What if he injures people by accident by fighting in the city?"
The comments on the Internet began to show signs of being one-sided. However, there was no lack of smart people who immediately retorted.
"Lin Feng just turned the tide in Dragonlith City and became a Hero of Humanity. Why would he attack ordinary people for no reason? There must be something deeper going on."
"That's right. I'm from Stone City. I'm very familiar with the villa area in this video. Today, the Yu family of Stone City is holding a funeral for a martial artist. Ordinary people don't know about the Yu family, but I do know a little. I heard that the two Yu brothers turned against each other for the sake of wealth. The eldest son of the Yu family suddenly died. Is there no hidden story in it?"
"Lin Feng coming here to cause a scene should be related to the death of the eldest son of the Yu family."
All kinds of news were flying all over the Internet. There were even rumors, and no one could convince the other party. The situation had completely escalated, and many people were paying attention to the development of the situation.
If Lin Feng really killed someone in public, no matter the reason, he would be in big trouble!
Boom.
All of a sudden, the entire ground shook violently, as if the villa was about to collapse.
Immediately after, three martial artists descended from the sky. Their gazes were cold and resolute, and their bodies emitted an extremely powerful aura. In particular, there was a faint glimmer of Astral Power on their bodies.
Astral Power emanated from them. These were peak Third Level Metamorphic Realm martial artists, with a total of 9,999 strands of Astral Power in their bodies!
"Lin Feng, stop now."
The three martial artists' eyes were apathetic. Their gazes seemed to be looking down on everyone.
Lin Feng held Yu Shui in one hand and turned around to look at the three of them. He could feel the powerful pressure coming from the three of them. These were definitely not ordinary Metamorphic Realm martial artists.
"You want to stop me too?"
"We're not stopping you. We want you to pull back from the brink. As long as you release him and return with us for investigation, things will naturally settle down."
These three people were not ordinary people either. They were the vice-captains of the law enforcement team in Stone City. They could be considered to have great authority, and were truly top figures in Stone City. Every single one of them was a peak Third Level Metamorphic Realm expert.
Lin Feng had caused such a huge commotion this time. Their mission was to settle this matter as soon as possible and control Lin Feng so that the situation would not escalate further.
Lin Feng glanced at Yu Shui and said coldly, "Yu Shan isn't dead. I'm bringing him to save Yu Shan."
"Yu Shan isn't dead?"
The three of them roughly understood the situation. Wasn't Lin Feng avenging Yu Shan's death?
However, after knowing that Yu Shan was not dead, the three of them heaved a sigh of relief. Perhaps this was the best outcome. If Yu Shan was not dead, Lin Feng's anger would be appeased.
Hence, the three of them continued, "Put him down and we'll save Yu Shan."
"I don't trust you."
Lin Feng's words made the three of them very angry. They were dignified Third Level Metamorphic Realm martial artists, presiding over a region and wielding great authority. When had they ever been so passive? Now, they were even directly accused of being untrustworthy. "Whether you trust us or not, you must come with us. Do you know how much impact your recklessness has caused?"
"It's not that I've caused such a huge impact, but that your inaction has caused such a huge impact. I will take him, and I will save Yu Shan by my own hands. No one will stop me." Lin Feng's tone was firm. Even though the auras of the three people were very terrifying, he still walked forward resolutely.
Whoosh.
The three of them blocked in front of Lin Feng. The imposing aura on their bodies was unleashed without restraint. Even Lin Feng felt as if he was suffocating from the pressure.
"You want to attack me?"
"It's our duty. Come back with us."
The three of them did not give in either.
Lin Feng was silent for a while, then took out an exquisite medal from his pocket and hung it on his chest.
"I'm a Hero!"
The dazzling gold medal was so eye-catching that everyone was attracted by it.
"Hero of Humanity Medal?"
The three Metamorphic Realm martial artists looked at each other and fell silent.
The Hero of Humanity Medal was awarded to heroes of humanity. They were people who had made special contributions to humanity and had all kinds of privileges. In history, there had never been a situation where the wielder of the Hero of Humanity Medal fought with the police.
As for fighting?
The moment the three of them saw the Hero of Humanity Medal, they completely lost any intention of fighting. That's absurd. Attack a martial artist wearing the Hero of Humanity Medal would be a slap in the face to the Nine Sages. The Hero of Humanity Medal could only be awarded with the approval of the Nine Sages. How could such a person be guilty?
Even if they were guilty, it was definitely not up to the law enforcement team to decide. First, the Nine Sages had to retract the Hero of Humanity Medal, and only then could the complicated trial procedure occur.
Was Lin Feng guilty?
It was difficult to say for the current situtation. Lin Feng did not kill anyone. Even when he went against the law enforcement officers, he had only injured them. What right did they have to determine that Lin Feng was guilty?
The three of them did not dare to stop him. They could only watch as Lin Feng grabbed Yu Shui and left the villa.
"Follow them and stop anyone from approaching!" The three of them did not dare to delay. Since they could not stop Lin Feng, they could only follow him and prevent Lin Feng from doing anything crazy.

Chapter 115 Seeing Yu Shan Again
Lin Feng grabbed Yu Shui and left, followed by the three vice-captains of the law enforcement team. The people who had come to attend the funeral initially wanted to follow and watch the spectacle. After all, not everyone could see this kind of spectacle. However, they were not inhumans and could not keep up with the speed of Lin Feng and the others at all, so they could only give up.
However, what happened today would definitely become the matter with the greatest impact on Stone City in the coming period of time.
"Hey, Yu Shan is actually alive. This is going to be interesting."
"Yu Shan actually has a friend in an inhuman expert like Lin Feng. Moreover, Lin Feng came all the way here and didn't hesitate to fall out with the law enforcement team. They are not ordinary friends."
"No matter what, we can't provoke the Yu family in the future."
Most of the people just held the attitude of watching a show. After all, this matter had nothing to do with them. However, those from the government, the armed forces, the military, the Martial Arts Association, and so on no longer had the face to continue staying here. They had been rendered speechless by Lin Feng's rebukes previously and lost all their face.
However, the one who was truly uneasy was Zhang Hui, who was hidden in the clubhouse.
Crack.
Zhang Hui crushed the wine glass in his hand. Through some informants, he naturally learned about everything that happened in the Yu family's villa. Everything had initially gone according to his expectations. Lin Feng had a conflict with the law enforcement team, and even fought them.
Towards the end, Lin Feng was also prepared to kill Yu Shui. As long as Yu Shui died, he would be safe. But who would have thought that Yu Shui did not kill Yu Shan?
"Fool. Fool to the extreme!"
Zhang Hui was furious, but at the same time, he was also terrified. Yu Shan was not dead, and neither was Yu Shui. All his plans had come to naught. Once Lin Feng and Yu Shan learned that he was the one behind the scenes, how could he possibly survive?
"No, I have to run."
Zhang Hui immediately decided that he was prepared to run, but whereto was the problem. If he fled overseas now, he might have a chance of survival, but he would have to live in the dark from now on. He was not a martial artist and might simply die upon encountering any accidents.
After contemplating things over, Zhang Hui felt that he could not run. If he did, he would really be finished.
"I can't run. I absolutely can't fall into Lin Feng's hands. That's right. I'll go home and tell Father everything. I'll tell him everything truthfully. I didn't kill anyone. Everything was actually committed by Yu Shui. Even if I'm captured, I'll only be jailed. As long as the family forgives me, it's just being jailed for a few years, I'll still be able to enjoy the protection of the Zhang family when I come out."
Zhang Hui was used to being a Young Master. He did not want to die, let alone abscond in fear. For this, he would even rather go to jail. However, he knew very well that while he was willing to go to jail, he absolutely could not fall into Lin Feng's hands. Otherwise, if Lin Feng killed him in a fit of anger, there was nothing he could do.
At this moment, only the Zhang family could help him!
As for whether the Zhang family would hand him over to Lin Feng, Zhang Hui thought about it for a long time and felt that it shouldn't be the case. The two inhuman experts from the Zhang family were both inhumans of the government faction. They would only hand him over to the police and the government to be judged according to the law.
If they handed him over to Lin Feng for Lin Feng to execute privately, not only would the two inhuman Zhang family members lose face, they would also violate the rules agreed upon by the government and the other four factions. Only by staying alive could there be a chance to turn everything around.
At this thought, Zhang Hui made a prompt decision. He immediately left the clubhouse and rushed towards the Zhang family. He knew very well that he must come clean when he returned this time. If he wanted to survive, he must not conceal anything anymore!
"This is the place?"
When Lin Feng brought Yu Shui to an abandoned factory, there were still a few people outside who were very surprised to see Lin Feng and the others descend from the sky.
However, Lin Feng ignored them. Moreover, there were three inhuman experts with gloomy expressions following them, so they did not cause any trouble.
Yu Shui said in a trembling voice, "Yes, this is the place. I really didn't kill big brother…"
"Now you know he's your big brother?" Lin Feng sneered. Although he had also lived in an affluent family since he was young, and had many brothers in the family, nothing like brothers turning against each other for wealth had ever happened.
Be it his eldest brother, second brother, or younger sister, all of them cared about him very much. Their family was also harmonious. For the sake of the Lin family, second brother was willing to train in the army.
For the sake of the Lin family, his eldest brother was willing to do everything he could to help his second brother gain a foothold in the army. The warm and harmonious scene in the Lin family was miles better than the scheming against Yu Shan by the second son of the Yu family, now standing before him. There was more than goodness in this world, but also evil!
The environment of the abandoned factory was a little harsh. It had rained a few days ago, so the road was covered in mud. Lin Feng held Yu Shui in one hand and walked through the abandoned workshops of the factory to the row of abandoned warehouses behind the factory.
"Big brother is inside."
Yu Shui said dejectedly. He now knew that he was finished.
Lin Feng did not hesitate any longer. He immediately strode forward and arrived in front of a locked warehouse. He could not even wait for Yu Shui to take out the key. Instead, he threw a punch.
Boom.
The warehouse doors were shattered. Amidst the dust, Lin Feng vaguely saw a figure, and there was a faint sound of panic.
Whoosh.
After Lin Feng rushed into the warehouse, he smelled a pungent scent of blood and some medicine. There was a huge bed in the warehouse, and even simple tables and chairs. There was also some food residue in the abandoned trash can beside it.
In particular, beside the bed was a young woman, who was looking at the doors of the warehouse in a panic.
"You… Lin Feng?"
When the young woman saw Lin Feng, she seemed to have recognized him, and an elated expression appeared on her face.
Lin Feng glanced at the young woman and said hesitantly, "You're Yu Shan's girlfriend? You sent me a message back then?"
"Yes, my name is Chang Xi. You're finally here. Quick, save Yu Shan…"
"What happened to Yu Shan?"
Lin Feng rushed to the bed and found Yu Shan unconscious. There were injuries on his body, but they were all bandaged.
Chang Xi's face was already covered in tears. She looked at Yu Shui hatefully and said, "Yu Shui ordered some people to beat Yu Shan up and locked us here. They only gave us some medicine and some gauze. Yu Shan fell unconscious last night and hasn't woken up until now."
Lin Feng stared coldly at Yu Shui, frightening Yu Shui. Hence, he hurriedly said, "I didn't want to do this either, but I didn't want to kill big brother, nor did I want to be discovered, so this is all I can provide. Big brother is a martial artist. His physique can't be so weak, right?"
Yu Shui was also a little afraid now. Even though he had never really thought of killing Yu Shan in his heart, for Yu Shan was his big brother no matter what, if Yu Shan died because of him, this debt would definitely be settled on him.
"Don't worry, let me take a look first."
Lin Feng turned around and carefully observed Yu Shan on the bed.
Although Yu Shan was unconscious, he did not lose much blood, and all the bleeding had been staunched. More importantly, Lin Feng could vaguely feel that the life force in Yu Shan's body was gradually increasing.
The essence in his body was even surging continuously, as if it was boiling. At the same time, Yu Shan's life force felt as if it was thriving.
Lin Feng was all too familiar with this feeling. This was the characteristic of someone breaking the genetic lock and their body undergoing metamorphosis!

Chapter 116 Vortex
As early as decades ago, the Zhang family of Stone City had already been one of the most prestigious families in Stone City. The reason was very simple. Two generations of Zhang family martial artists had broken the genetic lock and become inhuman.
Although the third and fourth generations were somewhat disappointing and could not break the genetic lock, they had each entered the political and business worlds respectively. They thrived there, and held immense power.
Everyone knew that the Zhang family was one of the top families in Stone City.
The Zhang family had already been passed down to the fourth generation. Perhaps as the Zhang family had been powerful for too long, there were no outstanding figures in the fourth generation. Those who were slightly more outstanding were at most qualified successors. As for breaking the genetic lock? That was even more out of the question. Be it the third or fourth generation, none of them seemed to have any natural talent in martial arts. Although the third and fourth generations of the Zhang family seemed to be in decline, but as long as the two inhuman experts of the Zhang family were still around, who would dare to underestimate the Zhang family?
Slap.
In the Zhang family's villa, Zhang Tianlong slapped Zhang Hui hard on the face. The force of the slap made Zhang Hui stagger, and his face immediately swelled.
However, Zhang Hui did not say a word. He only lowered his head. He knew that he could only let his father vent his anger now. Otherwise, he would not even be able to keep his life.
"Bastard! You damned bastard! Why didn't you tell me about such an important matter earlier?!"
Zhang Tianlong was truly furious. He was the most outstanding figure of the third generation of the Zhang family, and a tycoon of Stone City's business world. Relying on the influence of the two inhuman experts in the Zhang family, he had managed the Zhang family to flourish.
Although it couldn't be considered pioneering, he hadn't made any mistakes over the years.
That lasted until today, when his fourth son, Zhang Hui, came to apologize to him. When he heard everything Zhang Hui said, his mind immediately went blank.
Even though he was the tycoon of Stone City and could shake the entire city with a gesture, after hearing Zhang Hui's words, he even wished he could slap Zhang Hui to death.
Zhang Hui, that bastard, could have just been a profligate son. The Zhang family did not mind providing for a few more profligate descendants, but he did not expect Zhang Hui to cause him so much trouble.
He actually dared to plot against Lin Feng, an inhuman expert and the Hero of Humanity who was at the height of fame recently. How could Zhang Tianlong not be furious about it?
It was an inhuman expert. How could ordinary people scheme against an inhuman expert? Moreover, if he wanted to scheme, he should at least have kept it from others. But what did Zhang Hui do? He had overstepped so far that it was already discovered by Lin Feng, and had no choice but to seek his help after the matter was exposed.
Zhang Tianlong smacked his forehead. He was very angry.
Thinking about everything Zhang Hui had done, Zhang Tianlong shook his head. He did not expect his son, Zhang Hui, who he usually did not pay much attention to, to be so ruthless. Yet although he was sufficiently ruthless, he did things without consideration and left behind many loose ends.
"You sure are ruthless. You want Yu Shui to be the scapegoat? Didn't you think that Yu Shui would sell you out at the last minute? Yu Shui isn't dead now. He didn't kill his big brother, and what you've done has been exposed. Being ruthless is a good trait, but you're too rash when executing things."
"Dad, I don't want to die."
Zhang Hui knelt on the ground. He was truly afraid now. He had thought that everything he did previously was perfect, yet there were flaws everywhere.
"Hmph, now you know fear? When you formulated the nefarious plan, why didn't you think of the consequences? You underestimate the influence of inhuman experts. Even if Yu Shui died, do you think you'd be safe?"
Zhang Tianlong was really infuriated. It wasn't because Zhang Hui was too ruthless, but because he felt that Zhang Hui was too foolish and ignorant. How could an inhuman expert be so easily deceived?
Never mind how the plan was riddled with loopholes to begin with, he actually wanted to coerce an inhuman expert. That was absurd! Even if Yu Shui died, as long as Lin Feng wanted to, he'd still have traced things to Zhang Hui. As for evidence-did inhuman experts need evidence? All they needed was a bit of suspicion. Evidence was for ordinary people. Zhang Hui thought that Yu Shui was foolish, but in reality, Zhang Tianlong thought that Zhang Hui was even more foolish.
"Dad, save me. I don't want to die."
Zhang Hui begged desperately. At this moment, there was none of the prestige of Young Master Zhang left to him.
Zhang Tianlong's expression darkened. He looked at Zhang Hui. After all, he was his son. No matter how little he valued Zhang Hui, he couldn't just watch Zhang Hui die.
Moreover, this matter had already vaguely exceeded the scope of a "personal grudge".
"Zhang Hui, what you've done is too foolish. I won't harbor you either. However, you didn't directly attack Yu Shan when dealing with him. Moreover, Yu Shan isn't dead. At most, you're just an instigator. However, if Lin Feng insists on it, you'll be in trouble. I think you'd better turn yourself in. According to the current law, you didn't kill anyone, so your crime isn't punishable by death. At most, you'll be jailed. After the situation has settled, I can still use the power of the family to get you out. Do you understand?"
Zhang Tianlong knew that it would be very difficult to protect Zhang Hui. The only way was to get Zhang Hui to surrender himself. That way, Zhang Hui would at most face some jail term. If he fell into Lin Feng's hands, that would mean dying. Zhang Hui also understood the difference, so he hurriedly nodded and said, "I'm willing to follow the family's arrangements." "All right, then this matter is settled. I'll contact your grandfather first. We have to let them know about such an important matter. Lin Feng caused a scene in Stone City and even fought with the law enforcement team. He probably won't let the matter rest. Your grandfather will need to step in."
"Dad, what if Lin Feng insists on killing me?"
Zhang Hui had learned how "savage" Lin Feng's performance in the Yu family was. He had defeated four law enforcement officers directly and broken Yu Shui's legs. He was afraid that Lin Feng would insist on killing him too. That would mean trouble. A sharp glint flashed across Zhang Tianlong's eyes. "Hmph, what do you know? At this point, do you think this matter is just between Lin Feng and the Yu family? It's not that simple anymore. Even if we're willing to hand you over for Lin Feng to deal with, the government will definitely not agree to it. This concerns the administrative authority of the government faction. The government faction paid such a huge price back then to obtain it. How can they be willing to allow the government faction to lose its authority for a mere Lin Feng?"
"Huh?"
Zhang Hui's mouth fell open. He did not understand what Zhang Tianlong was saying at all. Zhang Tianlong did not explain either. This involved the struggle between the five major factions. How could a profligate son like Zhang Hui understand the extent of the implications?
However, Zhang Tianlong knew that this small matter had already gotten on the most sensitive nerve of the government faction. If Lin Feng insisted on killing Zhang Hui or Yu Shui, it would be a violation of the government faction's administrative rights. The government faction could not tolerate such behavior no matter what.
However, even though he knew this, he still had to report this matter to the two inhuman experts of the Zhang family. The two inhuman experts of the Zhang family had joined the government faction. When the time came, they could also rely on the government faction. Perhaps even Lin Feng did not know that his feat in Stone City had already been involved in the vortex of power games between the five major factions.

Chapter 117 Yu Shan's Metamorphosis
Although Yu Shui was unconscious, his life force was very strong. His cells were constantly dividing and dying. This required a long process.
"Lin Feng, can Yu Shan still be saved?"
Chang Xi had a worried look on her face. She was really afraid that Yu Shan would not wake up after sleeping like this.
Lin Feng revealed a rare smile and said, "Don't worry, Yu Shan's condition is very good. It may even be possible for his legs to recover."
"What?"
Chang Xi's face was filled with confusion. Even Yu Shui found it baffling. Yu Shan had already become like this. Could Lin Feng be joking?
"If I'm not wrong, Lin Feng should have already broken the genetic lock. Right now, his body is undergoing metamorphosis! Originally, Yu Shan's comprehensive ability was very strong. He should have broken the genetic lock long ago. Unexpectedly, by a freak combination of factors, he broke the genetic lock instead from experiencing these hardships after returning to Stone City."
Lin Feng was genuinely happy. He and Yu Shan had gone through life-or-death situations together. If Shui Yuansheng and Gao Tianci were alive, they might have broken the genetic lock as well.
Although Lin Feng had saved Yu Shan's life back then, Yu Shan had lost his legs. He was very dispirited from the ups and downs. Later, he met Chang Xi and reignited the hope of life again, yet he was betrayed by his family. If it were anyone else, they would probably be defeated by this string of setbacks and give up entirely. Yu Shan persevered, and broke the genetic lock in these painful and desperate straits.
Originally, the genetic lock required some luck or a strong will to break. Perhaps meeting Chang Xi had given Yu Shan the strong will that allowed him to break the genetic lock.
"Breaking the genetic lock? Really? Then why isn't Yu Shan awake yet?"
Chang Xi was overjoyed. She never expected Yu Shan would break the genetic lock, and was very excited.
At the side, Yu Shui, who had lost both his legs, also stopped moaning in pain. He naturally heard Lin Feng's words and became a little stunned.
Yu Shan had actually broken the genetic lock?
This was something that Yu Shui would never have dreamed of. No matter how outstanding Yu Shan was in the past, he showed no signs of breaking the genetic lock. Becoming an inhuman expert would allow the entire Yu family to completely prosper.
But through his foolish and greedy actions, he had ruined it all.
Yu Shui's lips parted. He wanted to say something, but hesitated. In the end, he lowered his head, his face ashen.
Lin Feng knew Yu Shan's current condition very well. Normally, one would not fall unconscious after breaking the genetic lock. However, it might be because Yu Shan was injured previously, which was coupled with his grief and indignation. Moreover, breaking the genetic lock and metamorphosing his body also required a large amount of "energy".
Back then, Lin Feng had used a large amount of nutrient solutions, which was why he could undergo metamorphosis so quickly.
Fortunately, Lin Feng also carried some nutrient solutions. It was not much, but it was enough to wake Yu Shan up.
Lin Feng took out a few bottles of nutrient solutions and poured them into Yu Shan's mouth. As the nutrient solutions entered his body, Yu Shan's metamorphosis speed increased. One could clearly see that his wounds were rapidly scarring and falling off. His originally somewhat tanned skin had also changed. Even his figure had become slightly stronger. This was just the initial metamorphosis. In the future, after completing the metamorphosis, Yu Shan's entire being would undergo a huge change. Moreover, the most critical thing was Yu Shan's legs. Lin Feng had done above knee amputations, amputating him at both thighs. With the current technology, perhaps artificial limbs could be installed, but what was the use?
Only by breaking the genetic lock could Yu Shan's legs regrow. This was the benefit of genetic restructuring, and something that modern technology could not do.
As the nutrient solution Lin Feng poured into Yu Shan gradually took effect, new flesh began to grow on Yu Shan's legs. The cells continued to divide, die, and divide.
Bones and flesh also gradually grew out of Yu Shan's legs. This scene was very miraculous. How lucky was it to be able to see an inhuman expert undergo metamorphosis and genetic restructuring?
Beside him, Chang Xi stared intently at Yu Shan. With her taking care of Yu Shan at the side, Lin Feng was also very at ease. From the looks of it, it might take some time for Yu Shan's legs to regrow. Moreover, Yu Shan was unconscious, so Lin Feng could only wait silently.
While waiting, Lin Feng discovered that the three vice-captains of the enforcement team were also guarding the gates tightly. It seemed like they did not leave a single step. This made Lin Feng frown.
Actually, he had never thought of fighting with the law enforcement team in Stone City, especially since these three people were very strong. Even one-against-one, Lin Feng might not be their match.
Lin Feng was very unfamiliar with these Metamorphic Realm martial artists from the law enforcement team. He had never come into contact with them in Central Sea before. They seemed to be affiliated with the government faction.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Feng took out his communicator and entered the Martial Domain Network directly through it. He found the forum.
He wanted to gather some information regarding the government faction and the law enforcement team's Metamorphic Realm martial artists.
The Martial Domain Network was open to all five major factions, and so was the forum of the Martial Domain Network. There were all kinds of forces interwoven inside.
Of course, the Martial Domain Forum was also divided into many sections, such as the academic faction section, the government faction section, and so on. However, they were all open, and visible to everyone who had the authority to enter the Martial Domain Forum.
Lin Feng searched for the keywords "government faction" and "law enforcement team" directly and found numerous posts. Among them were some posts that specially introduced the government faction and the law enforcement team.
Lin Feng checked carefully. The government faction's establishment of the enforcement team was actually to maintain the administrative rights of the government faction. Other factions also had similar organizations.
The members of the law enforcement team must be Metamorphic Realm martial artists. Every important city would have a Legate, and it had to be a Divine Realm expert who had undergone two life transitions.
However, when Lin Feng was browsing through the posts, he accidentally discovered some "flame wars" between the other four major factions and the enforcement team of the government faction. Moreover, it was not just one post, but many.
He was also very interested, so he clicked on them one by one to view them in detail.
However, this viewing made Lin Feng's expression gradually turn cold.
The Metamorphic Realm martial artists of the five major factions disliked each other and were also competing with each other. This was very normal. Overall, however, they were still very united. There was only one reason for their unity, and that was the dire beasts! There were powerful dire beasts prowling in wait around humanity. Humans were not the masters of this world. All the Metamorphic Realm martial artists were fighting with dire beasts at the frontline, working hard to open up a survival space for humans. However, only martial artists from the government faction were exceptions. This was because the government faction had administrative rights. All Metamorphic Realm martial artists who joined the government faction could apply to be stationed in various major cities.
For example, joining the law enforcement team was relatively common. They helped government factions manage the entire human society. However, why would human society need so many inhuman experts to manage it? Although the government faction also had frontline bases, there were very few inhuman experts there.
Almost most Metamorphic Realm martial artists of the government faction had never gone to the battlefield. They merely hid at the back, exercising ridiculous "administrative rights". In reality, they were avoiding war and dire beasts.
Therefore, the Metamorphic Realm martial artists of the government faction were all called cowards by the martial artists of the other four major factions. They simply looked down on the martial artists of the government faction, and even often initiated flame wars. The martial artists of the four major factions risked their lives at the frontline, while the martial artists of the government faction enjoyed a pleasant and comfortable life in the human cities at the homefront.
Most importantly, the privileges of some inhuman experts could also be enjoyed by inhuman experts from government faction, who had never fought at the frontline!
Countless martial artists risked their lives at the frontline, while their families and friends were even under the jurisdiction and oppression of those cowardly martial artists from government faction. For example, Yu Shan was injured at the frontline and returned to Stone City from there.
When he needed help, where were the martial artists from the government faction? They did not care at all, but still enjoyed all sorts of privileges. Some even assisted the wicked!
Lin Feng exited the Martial Domain Network. He stared coldly at the three law enforcement officers outside the door with a look of icy apathy!

Chapter 118 We're Going to Kill Someone
Outside the warehouse, the three vice-captains of the law enforcement team sat cross-legged.
They had also seen the situation in the warehouse clearly. With their insight, they could naturally tell at a glance that Yu Shan was not dead and had benefited from a disaster. He had broken the genetic lock and was currently in the metamorphosis stage.
This made the three of them heave a sigh of relief at the same time. It was truly fortunate that Yu Shan was not dead. Otherwise, Lin Feng would definitely not let the matter rest. If that happened, even the three of them would be in a difficult position.
"What a tough job we got this time. Captain Xie, what did Lord Legate say?"
They had just reported the situation to the Legate. The Legate not just oversaw a region, but was also the leader of the law enforcement team. However, he did not usually manage the law enforcement team directly left its management to the three vice-captains.
Now that such a major incident had occurred, they naturally wanted to report it to the Legate. Captain Xie was the in the "inner circles" of the Legate. He was actually also the leader to the three of them. He took a look at the situation in the warehouse and said in a low voice, "Originally, it was just a small matter. The situation escalated because Lin Feng was unwilling to let the matter rest. Lord Legate asked us to watch Lin Feng closely and try our best not to clash with Lin Feng. Now that Yu Shan is not dead and has broken the genetic lock, I believe that Lin Feng would let the matter rest now."
The other two also nodded. Now that Yu Shan could wake up, Lin Feng would not go ballistic. Facing a Hero of Humanity like Lin Feng actually put them under a lot of pressure too.
Moreover, Lin Feng was a martial artist from the academic faction. There was still the massive powerhouse that was the academic faction behind Lin Feng. Unless it was absolutely necessary, they did not want to provoke Lin Feng either.
Lin Feng retracted his gaze. He no longer had any positive feelings towards the martial artists from the government faction. Look at Yu Shan's struggles-did martial artists who risked their lives at the frontline deserve to end up like this?
"He's awake, Yu Shan's awake!"
Chang Xi, who had been protecting Yu Shan, saw Yu Shan's entire body tremble before his legs grew faster. In the blink of an eye, he actually recovered completely, and Yu Shan's eyes slowly opened. "Yu Shan."
"Lin Feng."
The two of them looked at each other and actually smiled. They comprehended everything without speaking.
Yu Shan naturally knew that Lin Feng had already done his best to have arrived at Stone City so quickly. "Yu Shan, how do you feel?"
Lin Feng asked with a smile.
"Very good. It's as if my body is becoming stronger at every moment. I've never felt so powerful. Is this what breaking the genetic lock is like?"
Yu Shan glanced at his hands, then slowly stood up from the bed. His legs were very long, and his entire physique was much stronger than before. Be it his physical condition or mental state, they were worlds apart from before.
"You're still in the midst of metamorphosis. When the metamorphosis is over, you'll be even stronger!"
Yu Shan looked at Lin Feng with gratitude in his eyes. Beside him, Chang Xi also held his hands tightly. In his most difficult and dangerous moment, only Chang Xi was still by his side.
"Thank you, Xiaoxi. I think I heard your voice in the darkness. You gave me strength. You gave me the determination to break the genetic lock."
Chang Xi was already sobbing uncontrollably and could not speak at all. She could only hug Yu Shan tightly.
"Big brother, it's my fault. Everything is my fault."
Suddenly, Yu Shui spoke. His current state was very miserable. His legs were broken by Lin Feng, and he could only lie on the ground, enduring intense pain.
Yu Shan glanced at Yu Shui with a complicated look in his eyes. He naturally hated Yu Shui. If not for Yu Shui, he and Chang Xi wouldn't go through such fear, not to mention there would never have been such a huge mess.
However, Yu Shui did not really want to kill him. He had not reached the point of heartless cruelty. It's just that there was no longer any familial love left in Yu Shan's heart.
Seeing Yu Shan's indifferent expression, Lin Feng could roughly guess what Yu Shan was thinking. This might be the best outcome. From today onwards, the Yu family would no longer have Yu Shan, and Yu Shan would no longer have anything to do with the Yu family.
However, Lin Feng did not intend to end this matter just like that.
"Yu Shui, tell me. Who else is behind you?"
Lin Feng could also tell now that Yu Shui had originally wanted to kill Yu Shan. Due to a fit of conscience or perhaps the bind of familial ties, he didn't. No matter the reason, there must be someone else behind Yu Shui.
Otherwise, Yu Shui wouldn't be so contradictory. He had kidnapped Yu Shan, but did not kill him.
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything. It's Zhang Hui. This is all Zhang Hui's method…"
At this moment, Yu Shui naturally wouldn't conceal anything anymore. He revealed how he knew Zhang Hui, how Zhang Hui instigated him to scheme for Yu Shan's assets, and even wanted him to kill Yu Shan in the end.
"Zhang Hui…" Yu Shan's gaze was very cold, and there was even a trace of cold killing intent emanating from his body.
Zhang Hui must die!
Lin Feng looked at Yu Shan, then stood up and said calmly, "Yu Shan, let's go meet this Zhang Hui. He's quite the interesting guy. Not only does he want to kill you, he also plotted against me.'
Yu Shan was not the only one who had killing intent. Lin Feng's heart was also boiling with killing intent. Yu Shui was an incapable idiot, while Zhang Hui was ruthless. If Yu Shui had not held on to some affection to his older brother, Yu Shan, and really killed him, the consequences would be unthinkable.
Moreover, Lin Feng had thought it through. Zhang Hui was using Yu Shui to do his dirty work, and he wanted to push everything onto Yu Shui. This Zhang Hui was actually the real culprit!
"The eminent Zhang family of Stone City!"
A cold smile appeared on Yu Shan's lips.
"What's there to fear about inhumans in two generations?"
Lin Feng took a step forward.
"Haha, Brother Lin, the two of us can fight alongside each other again." At this moment, Yu Shan also felt unbridled and assured.
The two of them walked out of the warehouse together. The three vice-captains of the law enforcement team immediately stood up.
"Lin Feng, Yu Shan, this matter ends here. We will give you a resolution regarding Yu Shui."
"Resolution? Of course there must be a resolution. We'll leave Yu Shui to you people. You have to protect Chang Xi too."
Lin Feng pointed at Yu Shui and Chang Xi in the warehouse.
"What are you two going to do?"
The three of them also felt that something was amiss and hurriedly asked.
"We're going to kill someone, of course!" "What, kill someone?"
The three vice-captains' faces were ashen. They did not know what Yu Shui had said in the warehouse. Could it be that someone else was involved?
At this thought, Captain Xie immediately shouted, "Don't be rash. If there's anything, it should be trialed by law!"
Boom.
The two of them did not pay any attention to him. They shot into the sky like cannonballs.
Captain Xie gritted his teeth and said to one of the vice-captains, "Protect Yu Shui and that woman. The two of us will follow them. We must stop them! Something big is going to happen!"
Initially, he thought that this matter would be resolved as long as Yu Shan was alive. He did not expect it to become even more troublesome. Captain Xie had clearly sensed the killing intent from Lin Feng and Yu Shan just now, which made his heart palpitate.
With such killing intent, if they really kill someone in public in Stone City, this matter would blow up completely.

Chapter 119 You're Not Worthy
"Phew…"
With a whistling wind, two figures tore through the sky at an extremely fast speed, flying straight towards the villa district where the Zhang family was.
Lin Feng and Yu Shan flew at full speed. Initially, Lin Feng wanted to slow down a little and wait for Yu Shan. After all, Yu Shan had just broken the genetic lock, and his body's extent of metamorphosis was far inferior to Lin Feng's.
However, what did Lin Feng see? Even though he was flying at full speed, he could not catch up to Yu Shan. In the end, Yu Shan was the one who slowed down and waited for Lin Feng.
Yu Shan also found it very strange.
"I think I can feel the power of the wind."
"Could it be an awakened innate ability? Yu Shan, your innate ability is very likely related to the wind."
As expected, with Lin Feng's reminder, Yu Shan could control the power of the "wind" more freely. Moreover, with the power of the "wind", his speed became much faster. In terms of speed, Lin Feng was naturally far inferior to Yu Shan. His speed was very ordinary among inhuman experts.
Soon, the two of them saw a large villa area below. They had already found the exact location of the Zhang family, so they flew down abruptly.
Boom.
The two of them descended from the sky and landed in front of the Zhang Family villa.
Lin Feng and Yu Shan looked at each other, their eyes filled with battle intent. They recalled how on the decisive battlefield, the few people who were originally strangers had entrusted their lives to each other. "If Shui Yuansheng and Gao Tianci were alive, they might have broken the genetic lock too." Yu Shan lamented.
"If they were alive, they would definitely come and fight alongside us!"
Lin Feng laughed. Life-or-death friendships on the battlefield were the strongest. There was no entanglement of interests there or no mutual deception. Being able to entrust their lives to each other made for the strongest friendship of all! "That's right. They're dead, after all. Only the two of us are left. Today, we can fight alongside each other again!"
"Zhang Hui must die!"
Lin Feng and Yu Shan threw their heads back and laughed aloud. At the same time, they stomped their feet and flew towards the Zhang family's luxurious villa like cannonballs.
"Stop, it's all a misunderstanding!"
Suddenly, two figures rushed out of the villa. Their expressions were solemn. With a wave of their hands, a water screen appeared in midair, blocking Lin Feng and Yu Shan's path.
"Break!"
Lin Feng had no intention of stopping at all. He threw a punch, and did not even unleash the Spiral Force. He merely used the strength of his physical body to blast open the water curtain. How could a mere water-type innate ability resist Lin Feng's terrifying strength?
The ones who attacked were the two inhumans from the Zhang family. They had also received the news early on and rushed back to the Zhang family. They also contacted the police and asked Zhang Hui to "turn himself in".
Seeing Lin Feng and Yu Shan charge over, one of the inhuman experts, probably the second generation of inhuman from the Zhang family, shouted, "Lin Feng, Zhang Hui has already turned himself in. The police have already arrested Zhang Hui. What else do you want to do?"
Lin Feng and Yu Shan could not help but stop. They did see many police officers walking out of the Zhang family's villa, led by Chief Liu, who had participated in Yu Shan's funeral at the Yu family's villa.
Chief Liu personally handcuffed a young man and said loudly to Lin Feng, "Mr. Lin Feng, Zhang Hui has already turned himself in at our police station. We have already arrested him. Please be assured that we will punish Zhang Hui severely according to the law!"
"Punish Zhang Hui severely? Punish severely how? Haha, will you actually sentence Zhang Hui to death? It's just a few years in jail before they get Zhang Hui out. Am I right? You people have miscalculated. Zhang Hui must die today!"
Lin Feng sneered. Of course he knew what the Zhang family was scheming. Hence, he could not let Zhang Hui off. Zhang Hui was the main culprit. He had to die!
Chief Liu frowned. He was not an inhuman expert. He only followed the orders from above.
"Great-grandfather, I've already turned myself in. I'm willing to accept the trial of the law. Great-grandfather, save me!"
Zhang Hui was also afraid. Looking at Lin Feng and Yu Shan, it seemed like they would not rest until he was dead.
Zhang Hui's great-grandfather was the first inhuman of the Zhang family. People called him Elder Zhang! He was about a hundred years old, and was the true mainstay of the Zhang family.
Elder Zhang glanced at Lin Feng, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Lin Feng, you've gone overboard! No matter what Zhang Hui did wrong, it should be trialed by law. Are you trying to lynch him?" "Heh."
Lin Feng stared coldly at the inhumans from two generations of the Zhang family and suddenly laughed coldly. "What are you laughing about?"
"I'm laughing at how you've been at ease for too long. Have you ever been on the battlefield?"
"What do you mean?"
Elder Zhang frowned, not knowing what Lin Feng wanted to say.
"You've never been on the battlefield. You hide at the back and enjoy all kinds of privileges. Do you know how frontline martial artists fight dire beasts with their lives?
"Do you know what price we paid in mortal circumstances?
"Do you know the warmth of the blood spilled by frontline martial artists?
"Do you know how bitterly disappointed we are when Zhang Hui plotted against a martial artist who fought on the frontline, and even tried to kill him?
"Haha, you don't know anything. You preach about righteousness and use the law to firmly protect your privileges. You're a bunch of cowards-a bunch of shameless cowards!
"What right does a bunch of shameless cowards have to preach before of us? Do you see the medal on my chest? It's what I got in exchange for saving three million people, alongside many martial artists, risking our lives to do so. Do you know its weight? Haha, you don't. You're like leeches—you leech the blood of all the martial artists who risk their lives on the frontline!
"You do not even have the right to stand here and talk to me today, because you! Are! Not! Worthy!"
Boom.
Lin Feng's voice was thunderous. As soon as his voice fell, he moved in an instant. His killing intent surged, and his aura condensed to its peak. The power in his entire body erupted. The three Spiral Forces contained more than 1,400 tons of strength.
Even from afar, the inhumans from two generations of the Zhang family could feel the terrifying power of Lin Feng's punch. Their expressions changed drastically. Lin Feng's rebukes seemed to have struck their hearts hard. Their minds were already in disarray, and now they had to face Lin Feng's extremely terrifying punch.
There was no skill, no technique, just a direct punch.
This was a punch of fury from Lin Feng. These inhuman experts from the government faction could quietly enjoy a cozy life in air-conditioned rooms. How could they know the hardships of martial artists fighting at the frontline?
What was even more intolerable was that they also used their privileges, the name of justice, and the so-called law to protect their interests. They did not care about the rights and interests of martial artists who risked their lives at the frontline at all.
These cowards and vermin. Lin Feng even felt killing intent towards them, which was how he had thrown such a punch.
The expressions of the inhumans from two generations of the Zhang family changed drastically. Although Elder Zhang and the second generation of inhuman had attained the inhuman state for a long time, they had always remained at the first level of the Metamorphic Realm. This was their limit.
How could someone from the first level of Metamorphic Realm withstand a punch of fury from Lin Feng that contained over 1,400 tons of strength?
Astral Power erupted! Innate abilities erupted!
The inhumans from two generations of the Zhang family roared repeatedly, unleashing all their power in a frenzy in an attempt to block this earth-shattering punch from Lin Feng!

Chapter 120 Severe Trouncing
How strong was the eruption of 99 strands of Astral Power?
Lin Feng had not known, but he knew now. Elder Zhang did not hesitate at all. Faced with Lin Feng's strength of over 1,400 tons, he chose to unleash his Astral Power in a frenzy to defend himself at all costs.
Buzz.
The 99 strands of Astral Power instantly acted on Elder Zhang's body, forming a dense net of Astral Power on the surface of his body. Coupled with the power of his essence, his defense could be said to be powerful to the extreme.
Elder Zhang had never been so passive before. However, the power that Lin Feng had unleashed with all his might just now was enough to suffocate him even from afar. How could this be come from only just breaking the genetic lock? It was perhaps on par with even those Second level Metamorphic Realm experts.
Lin Feng's figure was like a cannonball as he blasted straight at the inhumans from two generations of the Zhang family. He also saw the two of them putting up all their defenses, but what did that matter?
He looked down from above and suddenly threw a punch. It was as if Mount Tai was crushing down. His entire being transformed into a beam of white light, and he smashed the inhumans from two generations of the Zhang family down with a punch. However, this was not the end. The two of them landed hard on the ground, creating a huge pit. Lin Feng charged down like a falling meteor.
Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang.
Punches rained down. Every punch unleashed all his strength, shaking the two of them so much that they were almost about to blood. They had Astral Power protecting their bodies. As long as the Astral Power did not disperse, the two of them were almost invincible.
This was the uniqueness of Metamorphic Realm martial artists. Astral Power was the most important thing, and even innate abilities were secondary to it. Back outside Dragonlith City, those inhuman experts could hold out for so long even under the siege of the Screwworm demons, actually also because they had Astral Power protecting their bodies.
As long as the Astral Power did not disperse, they would not be defeated!
But now? With a single punch from Lin Feng, even if he could not scatter the Astral Power of the inhuman experts from two generations of the Zhang family, the terrifying shockwave still made the two of them very uncomfortable.
Could it be that even with their physique and their genetically restructured bodies after a life transition, they were somehow still unable to withstand the shock from Lin Feng's raw power?
Time and time again, Lin Feng pressed the two inhuman beings to the ground like punching sandbags, creating a huge pit. The two of them struggled to resist, but the force that struck Lin Feng was like melting clay. There was no reaction at all.
Actually, it was not completely useless. Lin Feng had also endured countless blows. However, he had the undying characteristic This bit of injury was nothing and he could recover from it in the blink of an eye. In a head-on clash, he was not afraid of anyone.
Previously, when facing the four Metamorphic Realm martial artists from the law enforcement team, Lin Feng had also relied on pure strength. Even if he could not disperse their Astral Power, he could still injure them from the shock
Thump.
After suffering countless hits, the inhumans from two generations of the Zhang family could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood. They had lost, and in such a straightforward and humiliating manner at that. They were severely "trounced" by Lin Feng.
It was the loss of all dignity for them. Even if they did not die, they would no longer have any dignity in Stone City in the future.
This scene stunned everyone. Actually, the Zhang family had made adequate preparations today. They had sent people from the police station to take Zhang Hui away long ago. Moreover, they had deliberately stayed behind until Lin Feng came. In reality, they wanted to prove a fact in front of Lin Feng: Zhang Hui was in the wrong, but he had already turned himself in; there were laws to punish him, and Lin Feng had no right to interfere. They even felt that with the strength of the two of them, it would not be a problem for them to hold off Lin Feng for a while. The vice-captains of the law enforcement team were also following behind Lin Feng. At that time, Lin Feng would definitely be the one at a disadvantage. But in the end?
Perhaps they had really been at ease for too long. They had led comfortable lives in cities at the homefront and enjoyed all sorts of privileges. They had long forgotten about the "mortal combat" of martial artists.
Compared to the inhuman experts who had been fighting dire beasts and demons at the frontline, they were just far inferior.
Hence, when they encountered Lin Feng, who was much stronger than ordinary first level Metamorphic Realm martial artists, they could only be severely trounced by him. There was nothing they could do.
"Lin Feng, stop!"
Finally. To the inhumans from two generations of the Zhang family, the short dozen seconds or so felt like an eternity. The two vice-captains of the law enforcement team caught up. Seeing that Lin Feng was actually fighting again, and with the inhumans from two generations of the Zhang family at that, the two of them had a headache.
Swoosh.
Lin Feng stood up and stared coldly at the two Third Level Metamorphic Realm martial artists. Without a doubt, these two people were much stronger than the inhumans from two generations of the Zhang family.
If a Third Level Metamorphic Realm martial artist reached the peak, they would have 9,999 strands of Astral Power alone. Lin Feng had no confidence in dispersing their Astral Power at all. Moreover, this Astral Power could not just only be used for defense, but also for explosive offense. Even just the eruption of a hundred strands of Astral Power was much stronger than the full power of a peak first level Metamorphic Realm martial artist.
"What, you want to attack me?"
Lin Feng stood with his hands behind his back. The dazzling "Hero of Humanity Medal" was still hanging on his chest, as if it was reminding everyone that he was a Hero of Humanity, and what it meant to attack a Hero of Humanity.
Captain Xie also had a headache, but seeing the miserable state of the inhumans from two generations of the Zhang family, he couldn't just ignore it. He was already on good terms with the inhumans from two generations of the Zhang family. After all, they were both inhuman experts of the government faction in Stone City.
"Lin Feng, Yu Shan is not dead. What exactly are you trying to do?" "Yu Shan is not dead, but the culprit who plotted against Yu Shan is Zhang Hui. You want to stop me from killing him too?"
"Zhang Hui has already turned himself in. He has been arrested by the police. Naturally, there will be a fair and legal judgment. You are not allowed to interfere!"
"Haha, a fair judgment? You inhuman experts who enjoy all kinds of privileges have never been on the battlefield. How can I trust you?"
"This is the administrative right that the government should exercise. You can't mess around! Lin Feng, as long as you step down, everything will be fine. However, if you persist in your wrongdoings, it won't do you any
good."
Lin Feng did not say anything else. Both parties were on different sides, and neither could convince the other.
The inhumans from two generations of the Zhang family were not dead. They were not that fragile. However, their gazes were very grim. After this time, they were completely antagonistic with Lin Feng.
Both parties also belonged to different factions and were not afraid of each other at all. However, this was Stone City, where the government faction was the strongest. With these two Third Level Metamorphic Realm martial artists present, it would be very difficult for Lin Feng to kill Zhang Hui.
Thus, both parties fell into a stalemate. This scene even attracted the attention of the other ordinary people in the villa.
Looking at the miserable state of the inhumans from two generations of the Zhang family, when had ordinary people ever seen the inhuman experts of the Zhang family in such a sorry state?
Captain Xie could not keep confronting Lin Feng here, but he could not attack either. He was also very frustrated.
Hence, he immediately reported the situation here to the Legate.
Lin Feng naturally knew that this was the territory of the government faction. Just the law enforcement team alone had several Metamorphic Realm martial artists, let alone the Legate, who was a Divine Realm expert.
Once the Legate intervened, it would be even harder for him to kill Zhang Hui. However, if the law enforcement team could call in reinforcements, could he not do the same?

Chapter 121 Justice
Lin Feng immediately entered the Martial Domain Network through his communicator and found the Martial Domain Forum at once. Lin Feng did not even enter the school board. Instead, he posted directly on the public board. The title was "Justice".
There were no inflammatory words or exaggerations. Lin Feng only briefly explained what had happened to Yu Shan.
The matter was very simple, and there wasn't even any incendiary language. This simple and down-to-earth narration, however, stirred indignation in all the martial artists on the forum.
The reason was very simple. They were martial artists, martial artists who fought at the frontline, who could die in battle with dire beasts at any time. They were just like Yu Shan!
nco
Yu Shan's encounter could very likely be their encounter. Moreover, they could not tolerate that if they were injured or killed in battle, they would be in Yu Shan's miserable situation and be at the mercy of others.
At that time, no one would know how much blood they had shed. No one would know about their past contributions. In fact, people would even take everything they had risked their lives
for.
"A mere profligate dared to harm a martial artist brother who fought bloody battles on the frontline. He must die. No one can protect him. I'm on leave and not far from Stone City. I'll set off for Stone City at once!"
This reply post showed Liu Mingshan, who was actually a Metamorphic Realm martial artist from the Freelance Cultivators Union. "Those cowards from the law enforcement team have been hiding at the back, not daring to go to the frontline, and enjoying all kinds of privileges. They don't help the martial artists who are really bleeding and risking their lives at the frontline, yet protect that profligate son of a b*tch. I can't take this anymore. I'm in Cloudglow City not far from Stone City. I can arrive in half an hour by flying at full speed. Wait for me!"
This reply showed that it was Yuan Hu, an inhuman expert from the military faction. Although the military and government factions were very close at certain times and often cooperated with each other, martial artists from the military faction usually fought with dire beasts at the frontline, and were fundamentally different from martial artists from the government faction.
nn
Lin Feng's "Justice" post immediately awakened many inhuman experts' discontent with government faction. They risked their lives at the frontline, and there were often people who were injured or even killed in battle. As for the martial artists from the government faction? They relied on the so-called "administrative authority" and did not do anything at all. They even damaged the rights of the martial artists.
This had long displeased many inhuman experts. Now that Lin Feng had issued the "challenge letter", many martial artists naturally responded.
Moreover, Yu Shan's encounter was indeed infuriating. Almost all these Metamorphic Realm martial artists at the frontline were filled with righteous indignation.
The number of replies to the posts increased rapidly. Even those who were very far away promised to take the spaceship to Stone City immediately. Instantly, the Martial Domain Forum became popular because of Lin Feng's "battle post".
The Martial Domain Network was jointly established by the five major factions. It had received the approval of the Nine Sages. The forum was also fully open, with a complete real name system. There were naturally martial artists from the government faction among them.
In the beginning, they might still argue a little under the post, but soon, they would be overwhelmed by retorts from many martial artists. They did not dare to say more. After all, there was a real name system. Some hot-tempered martial artists might even dare to come straight to their doors.
Emotions ran high in the Martial Domain Forum. Everyone expressed their determination to rush to Stone City to assist Lin Feng. Perhaps Yu Shan's matter was just the fuse, and they had already been very discontent with martial artists from the government faction.
Lin Feng's post quickly spread like wildfire. Soon, it spread throughout the entire Martial Domain Network. Almost all the Metamorphic Realm martial artists knew about it.
At this moment, seven Metamorphic Realm martial artists suddenly barged into Long Duo's room in Dragonlith City.
Including Long Duo, only eight Metamorphic Realm martial artists survived the calamity of the Screwworms. Even their lives were saved by Lin Feng "What's wrong?"
Long Duo found it a little strange. Why did these people all look so indignant?
"Chief Commander, look at this post on the Martial Domain Network."
Someone took out the post. Long Duo took a cursory look and his expression turned very dark.
"Lin Feng confronted the law enforcement team in Stone City?" "It's not just a confrontation. I searched for videos online earlier, and they actually fought."
"Chief Commander, we have to rush to Stone City. Yu Shan is a martial artist from our Dragon Mountain Base, after all. How can we allow martial artists from the government faction to humiliate him?"
"That's right. There's also Lin Feng. He's the hero of our Dragon Mountain Base. Not only did he save us, he also saved the three million citizens of Dragonlith City. Not only do those cowards from the law enforcement team not dare to go to the battlefield, they even dare to bully the martial artists of our Dragon Mountain Base. Do they think that there's no one in our Dragon Mountain Base? Or do they think that our academic faction is afraid of their government faction?"
These martial artists were all Lin Feng's most resolute supporters. Lin Feng had saved their lives. Now that they saw Lin Feng being surrounded and attacked, how could they possibly sit still?
SUIC
"Is this post on Martial Domain Network very popular?"
Long Duo pondered for a moment and asked.
"It's very explosive. Countless martial artists are already responding."
Long Duo was the Chief Commander of Dragon Mountain Base, and not an ordinary Metamorphic Realm martial artist. He had more to consider.
The ins and outs of the matter were all explained in the post. Was the law enforcement team really preventing Lin Feng from killing Zhang Hui just because of the law? That was not necessarily the case. On a deeper level, it was a struggle for administrative rights by the government faction!
The martial artists of the other four major factions were already very displeased with the martial artists from the government faction. Now that the post was so popular, it was very likely to become a fuse.
At this moment, Stone City and Lin Feng were already at the center of a vortex. If they were not careful, they might even become sacrifices.
"Let's go. I'll get Dragonlith City to specially deploy the fastest spaceship and rush to Stone City as fast as possible!"
Long Duo also made a prompt decision. No matter how the five major factions contested, nothing must happen to Lin Feng. He and the entire Dragon Mountain Base were saved by Lin Feng. If Lin Feng was in trouble, how could he not help?
Thus, Long Duo led the seven Metamorphic Realm martial artists and boarded the spaceship as quickly as possible, rushing towards the stone city.
After Lin Feng finished posting and saw that so many martial artists responded, the corners of his lips also slowly curled into a smile. So what if it was the government faction? Yu Shan's matter had already incurred public wrath. No one could protect Zhang Hui.
Captain Xie also seemed to be reporting to the Legate. After a long time, his communicator vibrated. He hurriedly picked it up.
"You may fight, but do not kill or harm him!"
"Understood."
After getting the exact order from the Legate, Captain Xie lifted his head and stared coldly at Lin Feng "Lord Legate has given the order. Lin Feng, come with us to the law enforcement team."
"Hm? You want to arrest me?" "This is the order of Lord Legate!"
A massive aura emanated from Captain Xie's body, as vast as the starry sky. His gaze was also fixed on Lin Feng.
Lin Feng understood that this battle was inevitable.

Chapter 122 Sharp Horn
"Lin Feng…"
Yu Shan took a step forward, prepared to fight alongside Lin Feng.
However, Lin Feng shook his head and said, "Yu Shan, stay at the side for now. Your body has yet to undergo a complete metamorphosis. Now is not the time for you to fight. Watch Zhang Hui and don't let him escape. If there's a chance, kill Zhang Hui."
Yu Shan nodded. He was also very helpless. Although he had just broken the genetic lock, he could not interfere in such a battle at all. He was not even a match for either of the inhumans from two generations of the Zhang family just now.
The only thing he could do was watch Zhang Hui. He could even kill Zhang Hui himself if he had the chance!
fiseeing the battle intent exuding from Lin Feng, a cold smile appeared on Captain Xie's lips. How many years had it been? Even if he had never gone to the battlefield, the gap between the third level of the Metamorphic Realm and the first level of the Metamorphic Realm was unimaginable. It was difficult to bridge the gap between the two realms no matter how talented one was.
Hence, Captain Xie said to the other vice-captain, "Look after Zhang Hui and don't let anything happen to him. Leave Lin Feng to
me."
"All right, but Captain Xie, you have to be careful too. This Lin Feng has just obtained the Hero of Humanity Medal. Make it quick and subdue him as soon as possible, lest something unexpected happens."
Of course Captain Xie knew this principle. He did not even intend to hold back and planned to subdue Lin Feng as quickly as possible.
"You are very talented. There is even a chance that you can break the genetic lock again in the future, undergo a second life transition, and become a Divine Realm expert. However, this is definitely not the time!"
Astral Power flickered on Captain Xie body, and he suddenly reached out and made a grabbing motion.
Buzz.
A huge hand appeared out of nowhere and enveloped towards Lin Feng with its vastness. Even from afar, Lin Feng could sense the terrifying power contained in this huge palm.
Withdrawn Astral Power! His opponent could already draw Astral Power out of his body. The Astral Power in his body had definitely reached the limit of the third level of the Metamorphic Realm, granting him 9,999 strands of Astral Power!
Y
Astral Power was a miraculous power. When it erupted in the body, it could instantly strengthen one's physique, strength, agility, and so on. It could improve a martial artist's physical conditions in almost all aspects.
The more Astral Power there was, the more explosive it would be.
If the Astral Power was drawn from the body, it could also be used for individual offenses, and could be used for long-range offenses. However, the consumption of Astral Power was a little too much. Ordinary first level and second level martial artists would not attack by withdrawing Astral Power, as the consumption was too great to withstand.
Lin Feng felt a tremendous pressure. Just this palm completely condensed from Astral Power alone was enough for Lin Feng to estimate that there must be a thousand strands of Astral Power.
A thousand of strands of Astral Power—that was equivalent to the strongest attack equivalent of a Second level Metamorphic Realm martial artist!
Without any hesitation, Lin Feng immediately growled, "Armor!"
Immediately, a layer of cuticle armor quickly covered Lin Feng's entire body. The streamlined armor, in addition to a layer of something soft, and a few bone spikes on his shoulder, gave Lin Feng an enigmatic appearance.
However, this was not the end. The Spiral Forces in Lin Feng's body erupted again.
"Three Spiral Forces!"
When the three Spiral Forces erupted, more than 1,400 tons of strength followed Lin Feng's punch. Even people far away could feel the suffocating power.
In the void, a palm the size of a basketball court descended from the sky. Lin Feng, on the other hand, was like a god of war. Donned in armor, he threw a punch. The violent force almost set off a storm.
Boom.
Lin Feng felt as if he was about to suffocate. The Astral Palm was completely condensed from Astral Power. The eruption of more than a thousand strands of Astral Power was terrifying. Even a building could be easily shattered by it.
However, this huge palm did not intend to strike Lin Feng to death. Instead, it clenched hard, intending to grab Lin Feng completely. Lin Feng's over 1,400 tons of strength was so insignificant and powerless before the Astral Palm. He was like an insect facing the vast starry sky. How could they be compared? The crushing force from all directions almost suffocated Lin Feng. His entire body stiffened. He had actually been trapped with a single strike. As the Astral Palm continued to shrink, he would be completely trapped sooner or later.
Captain Xie shook his head and said, "Your strength is very, very powerful. It's very rare for pure physical strength to reach your level. You must have cultivated Lord Invincible Fist Sage's Nonuple Body Tempering, right? Your innate abilities are not bad either. You must have awakened more than one innate ability.
"I really envy you. You're so talented. There's a high chance that you'll be able to break the genetic lock again in the future. However, you've taken the wrong path. No matter how powerful your physical strength is, how can it be stronger than the power of the cosmos? Astral Power is the foundation of martial artists like us! Even Nonuple Body Tempering is just a failed martial art by Lord Invincible Fist Sage. So what if you master it to the highest level?"
Captain Xie seemed to be very relaxed. The large hand condensed from Astral Power grabbed Lin Feng at one go.
However, his "lecture" made Lin Feng scoff.
"Whether my path is wrong or not is not something you can judge. Who said that physical strength is weak? Moreover, your Astral Power is far from the level of the cosmos. Watch me break your Astral Palm!"
Lin Feng knew that this Astral Palm should be Captain Xie's Astral martial arts.
Lin Feng did not purchase any Astral martial arts, because he could not use them for the time being. He was more concerned about his physical strength. Unfortunately, he had just purchased the last six levels of Nonuple Body Tempering, and had not had the time to cultivate them either.
Otherwise, with nine times of his physical strength erupting, Lin Feng would be able to easily break through this mere Astral Palm!
However, so what if there wasn't the next six levels of Nonuple Body Tempering?
Lin Feng extended his hand. His fist seemed to be covered in a strange substance, and then sharp horns grew out.
"Sharp Horn!"
This was the first time Lin Feng had used the Sharp Horn. Lin Feng had tested it before. The Sharp Horn was indestructible. It could break through anything or any power easily. In reality, it was more terrifying than any divine weapon. This was also why Lin Feng did not even bring his saber. Weapons were ultimately separate possessions from himself, and could not be relied on too much. Only by relying on one's own strength could one be invincible.
"Break!"
Lin Feng's physical strength erupted, and three Spiral Forces erupted. The Sharp Horn on his fist flashed with a trace of golden light. Borrowing the powerful force that Lin Feng instantly unleashed, he smashed hard into the huge Astral Palm.
"It's useless. You don't know how powerful Astral Power is. What's the use of mere physical strength? You can't escape from my Astral Palm."
Captain Xie appeared very calm. In order to exchange for the Astral Palm martial art, he had saved merit value for up to a total of 20 years before successfully exchanging it.
With this Astral martial art in the form of Astral Palm, he could be considered relatively powerful even among Third Level Metamorphic Realm martial artists. Wouldn't it be a piece of cake for him to deal with Lin Feng, a mere first level Metamorphic Realm martial artist who had yet to even complete his metamorphosis? Lin Feng was unmoved. When he used all his strength to punch the Astral Palm, the Sharp Horn paused for a moment, but then it tore through the Astral Palm like a drill.
Boom.
The Astral Palm dissipated, and vast Astral Power surged in all directions. Wherever it passed, everything along the way was swept through by Astral Power. The huge villa district seemed to have turned into a construction site in shambles all of a sudden.
The expression of the initially confident and nonchalant Captain Xie froze.

Chapter 123 The Strongest Strike
Broken? The Astral Palm was broken?
Captain Xie had just spoken confidently, thinking that he had Lin Feng in his grasp. He had even passionately lectured about how Lin Feng had taken the wrong path to teach Lin Feng a lesson. However, in the blink of an eye, his Astral Palm had been broken.
Moreover, it was broken by pure physical strength, not Astral Power!
"No, there's something in his hand. Could it be a weapon?"
Captain Xie was very confused. He didn't think that any weapon could break his Astral Palm. It was completely condensed from Astral Power. Apart from strength more powerful than his Astral Palm, what else could it be broken by?
But if it wasn't a weapon, what was it? Innate ability?
Some martial artists might awaken multiple innate abilities after breaking the genetic lock. Although such martial artists were very rare, it was not entirely unheard of.
Captain Xie could not figure it out. He suspected that it was an innate ability, but he could not be certain. However, this scene made Yu Shan heave a sigh of relief.
Earlier, the huge palm grabbed towards Lin Feng overwhelmingly. Even though he was very far away, he could clearly feel that he was about to suffocate. That was an unimaginable power.
However, Lin Feng had somehow broken that gigantic Astral Palm. This was really somewhat incredible.
Lin Feng soared into the sky and walked on air. He laughed loudly in the air. "Your methods are only so-so!" "Hmph."
Captain Xie's face was dark. That was just a test. He had only lost a mere 1,000 strands of Astral Power. He still had 8,999 strands of Astral Power, which was enough to deal with Lin Feng. Moreover, through the clash just now, he roughly understood the limit of Lin Feng's strength. Even if Lin Feng had any special methods, Lin Feng was far from being his match.
Hence, Captain Xie moved. His strongest aspect was still close combat. When he unleashed his Astral Power in close combat especially, it was simply unstoppable. "Good!"
Seeing Captain Xie charge over, Lin Feng did not hesitate at all and charged forward as well. Close combat was indeed his forte, and his strongest method.
After all, be it his innate ability, the martial arts he practiced, or his fighting style, they were all considered close combat. Only close combat was what he was best at!
"Dragon Claw!"
Captain Xie reached out and grabbed. Astral Power erupted in his body, and his arm rapidly expanded. Astral Power circulated on it, and even the striations in his palm were visible.
This was the eruption of Astral Power in the body. It could strengthen the physique of the body, and its strength instantly reached a terrifying level.
"Three Spiral Forces!"
Lin Feng did not stand on ceremony. He threw a punch directly, meeting the force head-on without any fancy moves. However, Captain Xie's arm swelled like a thick iron rod, while Lin Feng's fist was covered in densely packed sharp horns.
The two of them each used their own methods to fully utilize their close combat strength.
Bang.
The two of them exchanged punches and clashed head-on. This time, Captain Xie did not hold back. He practically unleashed his greatest strength. Lin Feng had also pretty much unleashed his full strength, other than the 66 strands of Astral Power in his body.
As for the 66 strands of Astral Power, Lin Feng would use it as his trump card for a big finishing move. However, when Lin Feng felt the force coming from Captain Xie's fist, his expression changed drastically.
Powerful. It was simply too powerful, so powerful that it was unbelievable.
Lin Feng's strength was strong enough, exceeding 1,400 tons. As for Captain Xie? With the Astral Power erupting from his body, the power unleashed by his expanding arm instantly far exceeded Lin Feng's, even exceeding 2,000 tons!
The earth-shattering force overwhelmed Lin Feng completely! Lin Feng could no longer control his body. He was directly crushed by Captain Xie's overwhelming force and smashed hard onto the ground.
Boom.
Smoke and dust filled the air, and a huge pit more than ten meters wide was smashed into the ground. It was enough to show how powerful Captain Xie's punch was.
Meanwhile, Captain Xie did not have it easy either. Lin Feng's sharp horn was indestructible. No matter how much Astral Power he had, it did not seem to be able to withstand the Sharp Horn. The moment their fists collided, a huge wound appeared on his fist. Even his Astral Power was torn apart, and he was immediately injured.
"He's not dead, is he?".
However, Captain Xie ignored the wound on his hand. He had used Astral Power to cover the wound in time, so it was not a big deal. After all, he had undergone a life transition once, and his physique far surpassed that of ordinary martial artists. However, he was very concerned about Lin Feng's safety.
He knew very well the weight of Lin Feng's identity. Even the Legate had only asked him to capture Lin Feng and not harm Lin Feng. If he accidentally killed Lin Feng, it would be troublesome.
It was precisely because he had reservations that he could not use his full strength. He even held back a little at the last punch. However, Lin Feng had given him some pressure previously. If he did not unleash more power, he would not be able to defeat Lin Feng at all.
"Lin Feng!"
Yu Shan's figure flashed as he hurriedly rushed to the side of the huge pit and looked into it. "Cough…"
Suddenly, coughs came from the huge pit. Yu Shan was overjoyed. Lin Feng had already slowly flown out of the huge pit.
However, Lin Feng was in a rather sorry state at this moment. His right arm was already fractured, and a layer of the flesh on his arm had been blasted off, revealing his bones.
Moreover, there were injuries on his legs and face. In short, although such injuries did not kill him, ordinary Metamorphic Realm martial artists would have long lost their combat strength.
"Lin Feng, how are you?"
Yu Shan looked at Lin Feng worriedly. He really did not want to see Lin Feng like this, let alone see Lin Feng risk his life for him.
Lin Feng smiled. He suddenly lifted his head and looked at Captain Xie. He sneered, "Is that all you have?"
"Huh?"
Captain Xie saw that Lin Feng was severely injured. Why was he still challenging him with such audacity?
However, he understood immediately. Lin Feng's arm was recovering at a visible speed. In the blink of an eye, his arm was already as intact as before. Not even a trace of a scar could be found.
The same was true for the other injuries on his body. Captain Xie's punch was powerful and contained more than 2,000 tons of strength. Lin Feng was indeed no match for it. However, he had the undying characteristic. As long as he was not dead, he could quickly recover no matter how severe his injuries.
This was also Lin Feng's greatest advantage!
"What astonishing restorative ability. If I'm not wrong, you must have awakened three innate abilities."
Captain Xie looked at Lin Feng with a trace of envy in his eyes. Awakening three innate abilities—the first two aside, just this restorative ability alone would make countless martial artists envious.
He was deserving of the title of genius!
"There are many more surprises for you. Again!"
Lin Feng did not seem to be afraid of Captain Xie at all. He could also tell that Captain Xie did not dare to kill him. Although Captain Xie's strength was strong just now, he had not unleashed all his Astral Power. Then, what was there to be afraid of?
Hence, Lin Feng completely transformed into a fired cannonball, smashing towards Captain Xie again and again in a frenzy. However, he was smashed into the ground by Captain Xie every time. In the blink of an eye, he was full of vigor again.
"It's useless, Lin Feng. You're not my match."
Captain Xie shook his head. Lin Feng was indeed very strong-willed. He was smashed into the ground time and time again. Sometimes, Captain Xie would be ruthless and go hard on Lin Feng. For instance, he'd break his arms or legs. However, Lin Feng's regenerative ability was simply too astonishing. He could always recover from his injuries in the shortest time possible, giving Captain Xie a headache. However, he did not understand Lin Feng's "foolish" method. Apart from putting himself in a sorry state every time, what else could it do?
Boom.
Captain Xie reached out and clapped again. Astral Power erupted, and Lin Feng was slammed into the ground. His entire body almost fell apart.
However, when he stood up again, he only shook his head before charging towards Captain Xie resolutely.
"Captain Xie, it's been 13 times, hasn't it?"
"What do you mean?"
This time, Lin Feng suddenly spoke. Captain Xie was stunned for a moment, but at the same time, he found it baffling.
"I mean, Captain Xie, you've already unleashed your Astral Power 13 times. How much Astral Power do you have left?"
"Huh?"
Captain Xie's expression changed drastically, but it was already too late.
A smile appeared on Lin Feng's face. He even wanted to roar with laughter.
Thirteen times. He was swatted by Captain Xie like a fly for a total of 13 times. The injuries he suffered every time would be enough for almost any ordinary Metamorphic Realm martial artist to lose their combat ability.
He had relied on the undying characteristic to recover. Although his injuries could be healed, he would still feel pain. The pain was simply devastating, but Lin Feng had persevered. His goal was to wait for this one opportunity.
Now, the opportunity had come. There was not much Astral Power left in Captain Xie's body. Perhaps even Captain Xie did not realize that Lin Feng had been depleting his Astral Power.
Although Captain Xie could replenish some Astral Power in battle, Lin Feng was not weak. Both parties were engaged in high-intensity battles almost every time. Under such high-intensity battles, how much Astral Power could Captain Xie recover?
"Even if I do not have much Astral Power left, how can you break through my Astral Defense with your strength?"
A slight smile remained on Captain Xie's face. He already knew Lin Feng's strength very well.
However, the smile on Captain Xie's face froze the very next moment. What did he feel? Astral Power. There was a ripple of Astral Power on Lin Feng's body. "How is this possible? You…"
Captain Xie was stunned. Lin Feng had only broken the genetic lock for a few days. How could he have condensed astral power? Moreover, the fluctuations of Astral Power erupting from Lin Feng's body were not small. There were at least dozens of strands of Astral Power.
Normally, a few dozen strands of Astral Power would not pose a threat to him at all. But now, there was little Astral Power left in his body, and he was at his weakest!
Lin Feng naturally did not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He had endured 13 times. Now, it was finally his turn!
Immediately, Spiral Forces erupted!
Sharp Horn erupted!
Sixty-six strands of Astral Power erupted!
Lin Feng's eyes were bloodshot. The cuticle armor on his body was already in tatters, but the essence in his body had already begun to boil, vaguely forming a trace of blood-red light on the surface of the cuticle armor.
With the eruption of all his strength and the blast of his fist, all his powers were unleashed. This was his strongest strike at present!
Boom.
Lin Feng's entire body transformed into a ball of scarlet light. Like a falling meteor, he left a long trail of scarlet light as he tore through the air, slamming into Captain Xie.

Chapter 124 Dong Aoshan
"No…"
Captain Xie roared and deployed all the remaining Astral Power in his body. At this moment, he no longer had any thought of holding back.
It was not a matter of whether he could injure Lin Feng, but whether he could survive now.
A massive force erupted, and Captain Xie felt as if his entire body was enveloped by a scarlet light. Then, like a huge meteor falling from the sky, he landed on the ground. The ground of the villa area was shaking slightly, and slight cracks even appeared on some of the walls of the villa. Everyone watched this scene in shock.
Lin Feng stood high in the air. His face was slightly pale, and the armor on his body was in tatters, so much so that it could no longer be maintained. He simply put it away. However, he had won! He had defeated a martial artist at the peak of the third level of the Metamorphic Realm. Even though he had employed tactics, and it was somewhat dramatic, he had won after all. He had won fair and square!
The huge pit on the ground was at least 50 meters deep. Lin Feng's strike was not weak. Captain Xie was smashed into the ground and did not move for a long time.
Bang.
Suddenly, the force of the pit sent rocks flying. A figure flew out of the pit. It was Captain Xie!
However, Captain Xie's entire body was in tatters. There were countless injuries on his body, and blood was seeping out all over his body. His arms and legs had been injured to a certain degree.
He had lost, and lost badly. He did not have any combat strength now.
He even suspected that had the Astral Power in his body been any weaker, Lin Feng could have really killed him with that strike just now.
"Sir Xie, are you all right? Hmph, he's also at the end of his rope. Let me do it! I won't give him a chance to exhaust my Astral Power
again."
Captain Xie's teammate, Captain Liu, hurriedly flew to his side and helped to support him.
Captain Xie shook his head helplessly and said, "Lord Legate instructed us not to harm him at all costs. If you unleash your full power, you might be able to defeat him, but you might also accidentally kill him. That would be troublesome."
Captain Xie and Captain Liu were only law enforcement officers. They also had their limitations and could not be killed. Furthermore, Lin Feng was no pushover. How were they supposed to fight then? "Then what should we do?"
Captain Liu also frowned. He couldn't fight or kill. This was really troublesome.
"Let's wait. Lord Legate is about to arrive. When the time comes, Lord Legate will personally take action. Lin Feng will naturally be easily captured. We just need to guard Zhang Hui and not let Lin Feng kill Zhang Hui."
Helpless, Leader Liu could only agree to it. Thus, the two parties confronted each other in the air.
Yu Shan also flew to Lin Feng's side and said in a low voice, "Lin Feng, are you all right?" "I'm fine, but the other party has another martial artist at the third level of the Metamorphic Realm. They can't capture me, but at the same time, with them guarding us, it'll be very difficult for us to kill Zhang Hui. Moreover, continuing this confrontation won't be a good thing for us."
Lin Feng could also see the other party's intention. He was clearly stalling. As long as they could protect Zhang Hui and prevent Lin Feng from killing Zhang Hui, that would be enough. After all, this was the territory of the government faction. The other party could mobilize more inhuman experts.
This was especially the case since there was still a Legate in Stone City. If the Legate personally took action, Lin Feng would not be able to contend against it. After all, no matter how strong Lin Feng was, he was not invincible. He still knew his own limits. Being able to barely hold out against an expert at the third level of the Metamorphic Realm was already his limit. And that was only because the other party had reservations and did not dare to kill him. Otherwise, even Lin Feng himself would be in danger.
However, dragging this on wouldn't be a good thing for Lin Feng and Yu Shan.
Just like that, the two parties entered a stalemate. The ordinary people in the villa area could finally heave a sigh of relief, as long as the battle did not continue. The destructive power of the battle between Lin Feng and Captain Xie was too astounding. In a short period of time, the garden of the villa seemed to have been ploughed through. It was a mess.
There were even cracks in the villa due to the huge commotion between the two of them. Moreover, this was because Lin Feng and Captain Xie were trying their best to "restrain" it. Otherwise, the destructive power would be even more staggering. The combat power of inhuman experts far exceeded the imagination of ordinary people. It could destroy even a building.
The people in the villa were all silently praying that Lin Feng and the others would stop fighting. They had indeed been in a state of anxiety just now. Now that they saw that both parties were not fighting and were facing off, they were slightly relieved. But soon, they realized that something was amiss. More and more people rushed into the villa area.
Among them, many were vigorous martial artists. They had all rushed over upon hearing the commotion.
"What's that?"
Suddenly, someone looked up and saw a faint figure in the sky. It was as if he was walking on the wind as he quickly flew to the villa area.
Lin Feng, Captain Xie, and the others all looked up, but realized that they all did not know him.
Captain Xie shook his head and said, "They're not ours."
Lin Feng and Yu Shan did not know him either, but they could confirm that this was another inhuman expert. This was because only inhuman experts who had broken the genetic lock could fly.
As this inhuman expert descended, he glanced at Lin Feng and Captain Xie before walking towards Lin Feng with a smile.
"Brother Lin, I'm Liu Mingshan. I'm here in response to your call on the Martial Domain Network!"
Liu Mingshan also introduced himself, allowing Lin Feng to completely relax.
"So it's Brother Liu. My thanks!"
Yu Shan also folded his hands to express his gratitude. After all, this matter had started because of him. Moreover, he also thought that Liu Mingshan might be Lin Feng's friend. After all, Yu Shan did not know any inhuman experts other than Lin Feng.
He knew very well what Lin Feng had posted on the Martial Domain Forum. Although many people responded, he was also very surprised that they could reach Stone City so quickly to come to help.
Liu Mingshan was just the beginning. As time passed, after only a few minutes, another inhuman expert with a tall and "well-built" body flew over from the sky.
He was Yuan Hu, born with powerful strength, and had an especially huge appetite. It seemed that his awakened innate talent was also very unusual, causing his body to be too massive, about over two meters tall. When his entire body landed from the sky, even the ground shook violently.
Liu Mingshan and Yuan Hu were the earliest inhuman experts to arrive. They were only ordinary first level Metamorphic Realm martial artists. However, a cloud of fire appeared in the sky next.
The fire cloud grew larger and larger, almost spreading through half the sky. Of course, it was naturally much weaker than the Invincible Sage's aura back then. However, just the pressure from afar indicated that this person was no ordinary martial artist.
He was at least at the third level of the Metamorphic Realm!
"Haha, I'm Dong Aoshan. I'm not too late, am I?"
Captain Xie's expression changed slightly when he heard this. Dong Aoshan was a famous inhuman expert in the Freelance Cultivators Union. He had reached the third level of the Metamorphic Realm long ago, and was one of the geniuses with the most promise to enter the Divine Realm in the Freelance Cultivators Union!
Just Dong Aoshan alone was stronger than both Captain Xie and Captain Liu combined.
Report chapter Comments
Chapter 125 The Convergence of All Parties
"Dong Aoshan, does your Freelance Cultivators Union plan to go against the agreement made by the five major factions?".
Captain Xie gritted his teeth. The pressure Dong Aoshan gave him was simply too great. With Dong Aoshan around, never mind himself, even the combined forces of the entire law enforcement team in Stone City could not suppress Dong Aoshan.
Unless the Lord Legate came, the five of them were no match for Dong Aoshan. Just now, he had thought that Stone City was the territory of a government faction and that they had enough manpower.
But now, he no longer thought so. Lin Feng was just a martial artist who had just broken the genetic lock. How could he be so well-connected that even Dong Aoshan from the Freelance Cultivators Union was willing to stand up for him?
What Captain Xie did not know about was the post made by Lin Feng on the Martial Dominion Forum. Dong Aoshan had responded to the call.
"Heh, don't accuse me. I wouldn't dare to violate the agreements of the five major factions. However, I'm only representing my personal identity today. I'm a martial artist who fights with my life at the frontline. What I can't stand most are certain cowards who hide at the back, relying on some authority to oppress martial artists who fight with their lives on the frontline."
Dong Aoshan was proud and aloof, but he also nodded slightly when he saw Lin Feng. His being able to come was a huge deterrent in itself.
Captain Xie's face was ashen. He felt that something was definitely wrong. How had things come to this?
What happened next only made Captain Xie feel even more despair.
Other than Dong Aoshan, there were many more inhuman experts who arrived in succession. For example, some of them came by stepping on the waves. How phenomenal was treading the waves on the great river as the rolling waves surged over?
Some people even thought that a flood had broken out for a moment, but that was only a technique used by inhuman experts.
Some people rode the wind like a Class 10 storm. In the eye of the storm, the martial artist slowly flew to the villa district.
There were even some who, perhaps to announce their presence, raised yellow sand that filled the sky and swept over in all directions, enveloping the entire Stone City in yellow sand.
These various miraculous happenings were unforgettable to the people of Stone City. In the past, they had only heard bits and pieces on television. It sounded like inhuman experts were all martial artists with stronger physiques and some strange innate abilities.
But now, seeing these miraculous abilities, they were almost comparable to a force of nature. How could this still be the martial artist they had imagined? It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them gods. Of course, martial artists who could do this were at least second or Third Level Metamorphic Realm martial artists. However, martial artists above the Divine Realm had yet to appear. After all, Divine Realm martial artists were no small matter. Once they appeared, they would cause a huge shock. In ancient times, Divine Realm experts were actual deities that lorded over all living beings. As the many inhuman experts arrived, Captain Xie and Chief Liu's faces were already ashen. They did not even say anything else. What could they say now?
Just Third Level Metamorphic Realm martial artists alone numbered at least ten, and there were close to 50 Metamorphic Realm martial artists who had come to Stone City. How terrifying was this power?
They could not figure out how Lin Feng had the ability to summon so many inhuman experts.
In particular, these inhuman experts came from different factions. There were the academic faction, Freelance Cultivators Union, military faction, and consortium factions. Apart from martial artists from the government faction, martial artists from the other four major factions had all appeared.
This situation had exceeded the understanding of Captain Xie. He also vaguely sensed that something was amiss.
Lin Feng's gaze became colder and colder. He was overjoyed that so many people had come to support him. At the same time, he was very grateful. However, the fact that a post of his could summon so many people proved many things.
The trouble had been brewing for quite some time. Certain actions of the government faction had already become intolerable.
Suddenly, a spaceship flew over from afar and landed on the ground.
A few familiar figures flew out of the spaceship one after another.
"Brother Lin Feng, we're here."
"It's fortunate that Brother Lin Feng is fine."
"Haha, Brother Lin Feng, don't worry. Our Dragon Mountain Base is your strongest support. We all support you. Whoever dares to harm martial artists of our Dragon Mountain Base must pay the price!"
Lin Feng was slightly stunned. He did not expect the martial artists from Dragon Mountain Base to come as well. All the inhuman experts, including Long Duo, had come. This was the support of the entire Dragon Mountain Base for him.
Long Duo looked around and also found some familiar faces. After all, he had broken the genetic lock for decades, so there were naturally many familiar faces.
Seeing that so many people had arrived, including some famous martial artists, he was startled. It seemed that his guess was right.
Whoosh.
Long Duo rushed to Lin Feng's side. He glanced at Yu Shan and realized that Yu Shan had actually broken the genetic lock and was undergoing metamorphosis. He was also very happy.
Strictly speaking, Yu Shan was also a member of Dragon Mountain Base. Recently, Dragon Mountain Base had suddenly had two inhuman experts who broke the genetic lock. Normally, as the Chief Commander, he would also receive huge benefits.
However, he wasn't in the mood to care about all this now.
"Lin Feng, you've made this a serious matter now!"
Long Duo said with a solemn expression.
"I know. Chief Commander, thank you for coming."
Lin Feng knew what his post meant. Now that so many inhuman experts had come, they would definitely anger the government faction. He could not predict the final outcome.
Long Duo looked deeply at Lin Feng, but shook his head helplessly and said, "Lin Feng, your matter is too huge. Your post has attracted so many inhuman experts. You're clearly opposing the government faction. No one knows what the government faction will do in the end. No matter the outcome, from today onwards, you will be a thorn in the side of the government faction." Long Duo hoped that Lin Feng would understand. No matter the outcome this time, Lin Feng had completely offended the government faction. It definitely meant all kinds of difficulties from them in the future.
At least in the future, if anything happened in the future, it would be impossible to get the government faction to help.
"I don't regret it!"
Lin Feng's tone was very firm. Since he had done it, he wouldn't regret it. Actually, after posting the post, how could he not realize that the nature of this situation had changed?
But so what? The government had stopped him from killing Zhang Hui, and even wanted to capture him. Was he supposed to just give up and allow himself to be captured? That was impossible. Moreover, discontent had long accumulated from certain actions of the government. Lin Feng's post was just the fuse.
Seeing how determined Lin Feng was, Long Duo laughed as well. He continued, "Since you already know the consequences, I won't say anything more. You're a martial artist from the academic faction. So what if it's the government faction? At most, we just won't ask them for help in the future. Haha, don't worry. Now, this matter of yours has already become the fuse. Nothing major will happen to you. It'll depend on the judgment of the Nine Sages."
Lin Feng nodded. The way the matter had developed until now, the five major factions had already engaged in a showdown. The final decision lay with the Nine Sages.
"Before that, no matter what, I will kill Zhang Hui!"
Lin Feng stood up and looked at the terrified Zhang Hui. Now was the time. Zhang Hui must be killed!

Chapter 126 Deity!
"Let's go."
Lin Feng, Yu Shan, Long Duo, and the others suddenly flew out, targeting Zhang Hui!
Almost eleven inhuman experts erupted at once with astonishing momentum. They pounced towards Zhang Hui, who was "protected" by the police.
Captain Xie and Captain Liu immediately became nervous and mobilized the Astral Power in their bodies. Astral Power covered their entire bodies. During that period of time, Chief Xie's Astral Power had recovered a little.
However, just as the two of them were about to intercept Lin Feng and the others, Dong Aoshan laughed aloud. Astral Power erupted from his body, enveloping towards Captain Xie and Captain Liu in a mighty manner. "Dong Aoshan, what are you doing?"
"Stopping you, of course. I suggest you stay where you are and do nothing."
As soon as Dong Aoshan made a move, although Captain Xie and Captain Liu were very angry, they really did not dare to make a move. That's absurd. Dong Aoshan alone was enough to give them a headache. Furthermore, other inhuman experts who were on a similar level to Dong Aoshan were staring at them menacingly.
Without the obstruction of Captain Xie and Captain Liu, the two Third Level Metamorphic Realm martial artists, Lin Feng and the others instantly surrounded Zhang Hui and the police officers who had arrested him.
Chief Liu's expression was very unsightly. He hurriedly said, "Mr. Lin Feng, there's nothing I can do about this matter. Can you allow my subordinates to retreat?"
Under such circumstances, what could mere police officers like them do? Even Chief Liu felt a little regretful. He thought that the Zhang family could control the situation, but who would have thought that things would turn out like this?
No matter how this matter ended today, he wouldn't continue being the police chief for
long.
"Get lost!"
Of course Lin Feng would not make things difficult for these police officers.
Chief Liu left with the police in a hurry, unconcerned about whether Zhang Hui lived or died.
Zhang Hui's face was as pale as a sheet. He glanced at the inhumans from two generations of the Zhang family not far away, who were clearly still injured, and then at the 11 inhuman experts in front of him. Naturally, he understood his situation.
"If I die, you guys won't have it easy either! Haha, it's all because of that fool Yu Shui. He didn't kill Yu Shan, and was concerned about family ties. What can he get? Did he expect Yu Shan to forgive him? Ridiculous, foolish!"
Zhang Hui laughed maniacally. He hated himself for "underestimating" Yu Shui too much. He thought that Yu Shui was ruthless, but he did not expect Yu Shui to really be an imbecile among imbeciles. He actually failed to kill Yu Shan at the last moment, ruining Zhang Hui's plan.
Lin Feng looked at Zhang Hui coldly and did not stop him. Zhang Hui vented his anger hysterically for a while, but in the end, he collapsed to the ground, his eyes listless. "Can I not die?"
With that, he laughed again. Even he found this question ridiculous.
Yu Shan was about to walk up to him, but Lin Feng shook his head and said, "Yu Shan, I can't let you take revenge personally this time. Although this matter started because of you, I already have enough trouble on my plate. I don't mind adding one more."
Yu Shan was a little hesitant, but he knew what Lin Feng meant. Lin Feng wanted to take all the responsibility.
Even though he felt that this was somewhat inappropriate, he knew that Lin Feng had already made up his mind.
"Don't worry, I have the Hero of Humanity Medal. Nothing will happen to me."
For a bearer of the Hero of Humanity Medal, unless they really turned against humanity and committed an unforgivable mistake, the would not be in too much trouble. This was also an important reason for why Lin Feng dared to make such a big deal out of it. Lin Feng walked up to Zhang Hui. He was just a profligate. Lin Feng shook his head and said nothing. He extended a finger and tapped Zhang Hui's forehead.
Bang.
How terrifying was Lin Feng's strength? Even the force of a single finger was not something Zhang Hui could withstand. Zhang Hui's head exploded instantly, and blood splattered everywhere. His entire body became a headless corpse that fell to the ground.
This scene was extremely gory, but after witnessing the tragic state of Zhang Hui's death, everyone was incomparably silent. Zhang Hui was dead. The main culprit was dead. So this matter was over now?
The faces of the Zhang family members were ashen. There was fear, anger, and resentment.
At this moment, the Zhang family had lost all their dignity. They were being trampled by Lin Feng alone. How could the Zhang family still have any dignity in Stone City in the future?
The inhumans from two generations of the Zhang family looked at Lin Feng with eyes filled with hatred, but there was nothing they could do. Even Captain Xie and Captain Liu, two third level Metamorphic Realm martial artists, did not dare to attack, let alone them.
He was dead. Zhang Hui was dead. Before everyone's eyes, Zhang Hui's head had been blasted off by Lin Feng's finger. This scene was also secretly filmed by some people in the villa area and posted online.
At this moment, Lin Feng seemed to have overturned what people knew about him in the past.
In the past, Lin Feng was a Hero of Humanity. He had all sorts of dazzling halos on him, such as motivated, passionate, kind, and so on. But now? Lin Feng could easily blow someone's head off with a single finger, and kill an ordinary person who had not undergone trial in cold blood.
Many people found Lin Feng unfamiliar.
"Are all our Heroes of Humanity so cold blooded?" "We should retract the Hero of Humanity Medal he received. We don't need such a cold-blooded Hero of Humanity!"
"Lin Feng is only 20 years old. How can he be so cold-blooded?"
It was as if these people had forgotten that Lin Feng was a martial artist, a martial artist with great strength, a martial artist who fought desperately with dire beasts at the frontline, and not a motivated boy-next-door like as ordinary people perceived.
The impact of this scene was very shocking for ordinary people. Perhaps it was the first time they had personally realized that the martial arts of martial artists were not just used to resist dire beasts.
Some were pondering, some were gloating, and some were cursing.
However, Lin Feng did not pay attention to it. He just stood there quietly. Suddenly, he raised his head. It was not just Lin Feng. Everyone else also raised their heads.
White light. A pure white light seemed to sweep over from the distant sky. All that could be seen was pure white.
Boom.
Everyone's heart seemed to shake for a moment. The pure white light was like a huge rock that weighed heavily on everyone's hearts. Be it Metamorphic Realm martial artists or ordinary people, they all seemed to feel fear from the bottom of their hearts at this moment.
What was it?
"Lord Legate is here!"
A trace of joy appeared in Captain Xie and Chief Liu's eyes. They were all too familiar with the white light in the sky.
The Legate. This was the arrival of the Legate of Stone City! Moreover, the Legate was clearly arriving with anger!
Swoosh.
The white light in the sky dyed the sky and earth white.
Immediately after, a holy light appeared within the white light, as if it appeared out of thin air. Slowly, another figure walked out of the white light.
His clothes were pure white, and even his hair was white. He looked like a deity in the myths, untainted by even a speck of dust, filled with a holy, regal, and perfect aura.
The Legate had arrived!
