"Thatās the Old Master for you! One phone call and he had the Jinan Military Region recall those people!"
"Exactly. Without the backing of the Jinan Military Region, how can he possibly fight the Qin Family!"
"Heās done for!"
Everyone thought that Lin Muās only leverage was his position as the Chief Instructor of the Jinan Military Region. Without that title, in the face of the Qin Family, he was just a soft persimmon to be squashed at will.
"Men!" Qin Wentian waved his hand, his voice brimming with murderous intent. "Although today is a joyous occasion for my Qin Family and no blood should be shed, this man has repeatedly tried to kill members of my family. His crimes are unforgivable. Cripple his limbs and beat him to death on the spot!"
"Yes, sir!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two figures appeared behind Qin Wentian. The men had pale faces, making their ages indiscernible. One was dressed in black, the other in white. One of them radiated a grim aura of death. The other had a powdered white face and jarringly crimson lips.
"Black and White Impermanence!"
"Werenāt they rumored to have died long ago? How are they still alive?"
"Theyāre known as the number one assassins in the Martial Arts World! They may not be Grandmasters, but itās said that when they join forces, they can even slay a Grandmaster!"
"That kid is truly finished!"
Amidst the crowdās murmurs, the duo known as Black and White Impermanence exchanged a smile and slowly approached Lin Mu.
CRACK!
The ground beneath them began to freeze over, and the temperature plummeted. An eerie, bone-chilling aura erupted from their bodies.
That isnāt a cold aura! Itās the aura of death!
There were other Martial Artists present. Upon sensing this aura, their faces filled with horror, and they hastily retreated to avoid being caught in it.
"Letās see you survive this!" Qin Jianlin sneered, his expression frigid.
It was rumored in the Martial Arts World that Black and White Impermanence were long dead, but in truth, they had been subjugated by Qin Chuan long ago to serve the Qin Family exclusively. Over the years, they had performed countless deeds for the family. Their appearance today served two purposes: one was to kill Lin Mu, and the other was to act as a deterrent. It was a warning to the world that the prestige of the Qin Family was not to be challenged.
The aura of Black and White Impermanence was immense. They were the strongest assassins, capable of joining forces to slay a Grandmaster. Who could possibly withstand them?
Cheng Bugui looked at Shi Potian and Leng Feng with a smile. "Gentlemen, shall you take care of these two?"
Leng Feng smiled back. "I alone am sufficient."
With that, Leng Feng slowly stepped forward.
"Has Lin Mu run out of people? Why is he sending a child to fight?"
The crowd was stunned when they saw Leng Feng. He looked far too young, only about seventeen or eighteen. Shouldnāt someone his age be in school?
"I thought this guy had some great power, but it turns out he really was just relying on his status as Chief Instructor." A member of the Qin Family scoffed, paying Leng Feng no mind. "This is the price for offending our Qin Familyāa dead end!"
However, Leng Fengās expression remained unchanged. His seemingly boyish face held a touch of cold indifference.
"Little boy, run along home," White Impermanence said coldly. "Youāre no match for us."
Leng Feng didnāt respond, his steps unwavering.
"Do you really think we donāt kill children?" White Impermanence grew angry seeing Leng Feng continue to advance. He lunged forward, his hand shooting out like a claw, aiming to crush Leng Fengās head. When he struck, he always struck to kill.
However, Leng Feng suddenly vanished.
White Impermanence froze for a split second, then heard a cry of alarm.
"Dodge!"
It was Black Impermanenceās voice. A sense of dread washed over White Impermanence as he felt a sudden coldness in his chest. He glanced down, and his pupils shrank in an instant.
A hand had effortlessly penetrated his chest. In its palm was a still-beating heart.
RIP!
The hand was retracted. White Impermanenceās pristine white clothes were instantly stained crimson. He instinctively turned to look behind him, only to witness a horrifying sight.
CRUSH!
With a slight squeeze, the hand holding his heart crushed it into a bloody pulp.
"Ugh..." White Impermanence opened his mouth, trying to say something, but it was too late. With his heart torn out, it was as if all his life force had been stolen away. He could no longer stand and collapsed weakly to the ground.
"And you dare call yourselves the number one assassins with this level of skill?" Leng Feng scoffed with disdain. "Utterly disgraceful."
Watching White Impermanence fall, the crowd was too shocked to speak. The members of the Qin Family looked on in absolute terror.
This young man... He possesses such incredible strength? This...
"Ah!"
With a piercing shriek, a black shadow flashed, instantly appearing behind Leng Feng and striking down with a palm. It was Black Impermanence, making his move. A dense aura of death and intense killing intent locked onto Leng Feng, reigniting a flicker of hope in the hearts of the Qin Family members.
But what happened next left them all speechless.
BANG!
The descending palm was caught by a hand and effortlessly redirected. Leng Feng gripped Black Impermanenceās arm and drove his knee sharply into his opponentās abdomen.
CRACK!
The sound of shattering bone echoed. Black Impermanenceās eyes bulged from their sockets. But Leng Fengās assault didnāt stop there. With a fierce swing of his arm, he sent Black Impermanenceās entire body flying into the air. Leng Feng then leaped up and delivered a ferocious kick.
"And away you go!"
A black shadow soared over the crowdās heads.
RUMBLE!
In the distance, a building collapsed. As for Black Impermanence, it was unknown if he was dead or alive.
"Hiss!"
Everyone who witnessed this gasped in cold shock. This kid was terrifyingly powerful. The renowned Black and White Impermanence, assassins said to be capable of slaying a Grandmaster when working together, had been defeated in an instant! Such strength and skill were far beyond what any ordinary person could comprehend.
How would the Qin Family respond now?
Qin Wentianās face had turned pale. He stared hard at Leng Feng, then shifted his gaze back to Lin Mu. "Young man, do you truly intend to fight my Qin Family to the death?"
By now, Lin Mu had no interest in talking to Qin Wentian. He had long since lost all patience with the Qin Family.
Understanding his masterās intent, Leng Feng began to walk slowly toward Qin Wentian.
"Kid, what do you think youāre doing?" Qin Jianlinās expression changed as he hurriedly stepped forward to block Leng Fengās path.
"Get lost!"
A large hand swept out, fiercely slapping Qin Jianlin and sending him flying. Landing in a heap, Qin Jianlin spat out a mouthful of blood. His face was a mask of fury and humiliation as he roared, "You brat, Iāll kill you!"
To be slapped in front of so many peopleāhe, the dignified Family Head of the Qin Family! It was preposterous, a direct slap in the face to the entire Qin Family.
CRUNCH!
A large foot stomped down on Qin Jianlinās arm, snapping the bone.
"You talk too much." Lin Mu didnāt even spare Qin Jianlin a glance. He took two steps forward, his hands clasped behind his back, and fixed his gaze on Qin Wentian.
"You have one last chance." Lin Muās voice was ice-cold, the killing intent in his eyes so thick it felt tangible. "Tell Qin Chuan to get out here and see me. Otherwise, you can die."
