The King of Urban Mercenaries
Chapter 1564 - 1569: Power Reigns Supreme
"Lin Fei, just tell me what you want me to do. If I can do it, I won’t refuse," the Family Head of the Shangguan family said.
"Even if you refuse, it won’t matter. You know why I’m here this time, right?"
The Family Head glanced at Shangguan Mingshang in Lin Fei’s hand. He knew that Lin Fei came to their Shangguan family this time for Shangguan Mingshang, but Shangguan Mingshang was their Junior Sect Leader, and they couldn’t let anything happen to him.
"Brother Lin Fei, you see, Mingshang is now the Junior Sect Leader of our Shangguan family, and your grudges with him have been going on for twelve years. There’s no need for this, right? When will the cycle of revenge end?" The Family Head tried to persuade Lin Fei, hoping to change his mind.
Lin Fei shook his head, "I’m set on taking Shangguan Mingshang’s life today, and besides, I’ve let him live for twelve more years. You should thank me for that, so I hope you won’t refuse my request, Family Head of the Shangguan family."
Hearing Lin Fei’s resolute words, the Family Head remained silent. Lin Fei had already demonstrated his strength earlier. Although the elders and top members of their family weren’t much weaker, Lin Fei had easily defeated them, which made the Family Head wary. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
So, he decided not to anger Lin Fei and to temporarily keep him calm.
"Little brother, how about this? You’ve come a long way; why not come inside and have a seat? Let me show some hospitality."
Lin Fei smiled, "No need for that, Family Head of the Shangguan family. I understand the principle of not accepting favors when in need. I’m here to seek revenge and seek justice for my friend, so there’s no need to decline. I’m taking Shangguan Mingshang with me."
After speaking, Lin Fei grabbed Shangguan Mingshang and flew off into the distance.
"Wait a moment!"
The Family Head called out urgently, and his body disappeared from where he stood, leaving a trail as he pursued Lin Fei, arriving in front of him in the blink of an eye, staring at Lin Fei.
Lin Fei showed a mocking expression. When he arrived at the Shangguan family, apart from Shangguan Mingshang coming out, no one else paid him any attention, suggesting they assumed Shangguan Mingshang could handle him, so they didn’t intervene.
However, when Shangguan Mingshang was at a disadvantage, close to being killed by Lin Fei, the Great Elder and top members of the Shangguan family suddenly appeared and quickly surrounded Lin Fei, preparing to gang up on him.
Unfortunately, even a group couldn’t match Lin Fei. Hua Xian, the Demon Lord, an existence from the Upper Realm, spent ten years tempering Lin Fei’s body to make him strong enough to help break a seal.
He needed to be thoroughly prepared, for if Lin Fei died, who knew when another person with demonic skills would come along, so he dedicated himself to toughening Lin Fei’s body, ultimately attaining immense strength, which even satisfied the Demon Lord Hua Xian.
Creating something that satisfied a Demon King spoke volumes about its power, didn’t it?
Lin Fei’s physique, after twelve years, should now be the strongest body in the Lower Realm, and he had cultivated the Demon Refinement Technique to its highest level, making his ability to absorb Heaven and Earth Qi truly terrifying, ultimately making Lin Fei the strongest in the Lower Realm!
Unbeknownst to him, twelve years passed with the Demon Lord shaping Lin Fei, though Lin Fei didn’t want it. He always felt the Demon Lord left something inside him, which wouldn’t be good later. Even though this body was essentially Lin Fei’s, it could hardly be called his own anymore.
"Family Head of the Shangguan family, do you have anything else to say? Speak now, as I’m pressed for time," Lin Fei said calmly.
The Family Head’s expression was troubled, "You can’t take Shangguan Mingshang."
"Family Head! Family Head!" Shangguan Mingshang cried out, but Lin Fei quickly silenced him again.
Lin Fei looked at the Family Head and said, "Why is that? Is my reasoning not sufficient? Or do you, Family Head of the Shangguan family, not want to save face, and you want me to make a spectacle of you?"
The Family Head’s face immediately darkened. What Lin Fei said was quite disrespectful. What did he mean by needing Lin Fei to save face? Wasn’t this obviously belittling and disrespecting him?
However, the Family Head wasn’t foolish. Since Lin Fei spoke this way, he must be very confident. But even so, he shouldn’t speak like this, hence the Family Head decided, even more, not to let Lin Fei leave.
"Lin Fei, you should release our Shangguan family’s Junior Sect Leader; let’s put this matter behind us, okay?" The Family Head began to show his domineering side.
"Hahaha! Family Head of the Shangguan family, did you not understand what I just said?" Lin Fei laughed and then looked at the Family Head opposite him, coldly saying, "Scram!"
"Outrageous! How dare you disrespect our family, courting death!" The Great Elder spoke out once again, but Lin Fei merely snorted coldly, stretched out a hand, and pointed at the Great Elder of the Shangguan family, a streak of black sword light flashing by.
Thud!
The black line cut through the air, piercing the forehead of the Great Elder of the Shangguan family, then vanish completely.
The Great Elder’s eyes widened in horror, his body collapsing straight down, raising a cloud of dust from the ground, as his life force vanished.
"Bastard! Lin Fei, you actually dare to kill our family’s Great Elder, I..." The Family Head was about to rage, only to find Lin Fei pointing at him, a pitch-black sword appearing in his hand. This sword seemed to be entirely formed of black demonic qi, emitting a suppressive aura.
The Family Head’s heart burned with anger, but he still dared not say anything further. Lin Fei’s intentions were clear: he was threatening her. If she uttered another word, death awaited her!
Facing such a situation, the Family Head swallowed her anger and nodded, saying furiously, "Fine! Take him with you, but from now on, Lin Fei, you and our Shangguan family go your separate ways!"
"Just as I wanted!" Lin Fei replied coldly. After so much talk, it turns out that only through sheer might could this issue be resolved.
Now that the Family Head relented, Lin Fei didn’t linger. He now understood his strength against the Family Head of the Shangguan family, feeling no fear. At this moment, he thought of someone - his second senior brother, Liu Muqing.
Liu Muqing’s strength was undeniably formidable!
And Liu Muqing was undoubtedly an extraordinary genius; the Silent Annihilation Technique he created was extremely beneficial to Lin Fei now. The Power of Silent Annihilation was immensely strong, especially since Lin Fei had mastered the final layer of the Demon Refinement Technique, making the augmentative effects of the Silent Annihilation Technique even more powerful, absolutely perfect.
Unfortunately, its consumption was also significant. Unless absolutely necessary, Lin Fei refrained from using it recklessly.
