Chapter 42

Before Ye Feng even arrived, his inner energy had already put Chen Neng under immense pressure. His mind raced through various defensive moves, but he couldn't come up with the best response. In the end, he could only roll on the ground, using the momentum to dodge to the side.

However, he clearly underestimated Ye Feng's strength and speed. At the peak of the Second Stage Qi Cultivation, Ye Feng could already use his inner energy to move quickly in the air, though the distance was limited. But dealing with Chen Neng was no problem at all.

Just as Chen Neng thought he had narrowly escaped by rolling twice, he suddenly felt a hand grab the back of his neck. A powerful and scorching energy surged through his body from the acupoint at the back of his neck, instantly leaving him powerless. At that moment, he couldn't even muster the strength to roll again, let alone counterattack.

After grabbing Chen Neng's neck, Ye Feng didn't let go. Instead, he lifted Chen Neng off the ground and, with a swift motion, threw him over his head with great force.

The over 1.8-meter-tall Chen Neng flew like a stone shot from a slingshot, landing over ten meters away. He groaned in pain, lying on the ground, completely losing his composure as a skilled fighter.

Wu Zi, Liu Zi, the police officer, and Le Ge were all stunned.

Everyone had the same unreasonable yet very reasonable thought in this situation.

Is this a movie? If it's not a movie, then where the hell did this guy, who's like a superhero or Batman, come from?

Who has ever seen someone jump five or six meters high and stay in the air, moving horizontally?

And who has ever seen someone throw a former special forces operative, hired as a private bodyguard for hundreds of thousands of dollars, around like a toy ball?

At this moment, Le Ge was not only regretful but also utterly devastated...

After struggling on the sand for a while, Chen Neng slowly got up. Although Ye Feng's throw looked powerful, it didn't cause him much physical harm. However, the inner energy that penetrated his body would likely take him two to three months to recover from and return to his peak condition.

Chen Neng limped back to stand between Ye Feng and Le Ge, then bowed deeply to Ye Feng with a very sincere tone, saying, "I apologize, I failed to recognize your true strength. I am Chen Neng, Chen as in 'Ear East' and Neng as in 'Energy.' If you ever need my help, you can call this number."

Chen Neng recited a phone number.

Then he turned to look at Le Ge and the police officer, his gaze sharp and even a bit resentful. He said in a deep voice, "Le Zi, this person is not someone you or my brother-in-law can afford to offend. I advise you to seek his forgiveness, though whether he will forgive you is another matter. For the sake of my sister and Xiao Fei, I won't hold this against you. I'm leaving."

After saying this, he bowed deeply to Ye Feng again and limped away, walking slowly but resolutely.

Seeing Chen Neng's actions, Ye Feng felt that although this man was ruthless, he was still straightforward and honest. He admitted his defeat, apologized, and even left his phone number, which he did to make amends for tonight's events if needed.

This is why Ye Feng, even without consulting the spatial rules, understood why the rules said that eliminating this初级武者 (初级武者 translates to "初级" meaning "初级" and "武者" meaning "martial artist," but in this context, it means "初级武者" or "初级 martial artist") would grant him a set of corresponding初级功法 (初级功法 translates to "初级" meaning "初级" and "功法" meaning "cultivation technique," but in this context, it means "初级 cultivation technique") but would also deduct 50 points of virtue.

Because this Chen Neng, though not necessarily a good person, was certainly not an evil one.

So, eliminating him would deduct 50 points of virtue.

Not to mention, even if Chen Neng were evil, Ye Feng wouldn't eliminate him. The rules' prompt was tempting, but Ye Feng couldn't act like a cultivator who would kill anyone if it benefited him.

In short, Ye Feng still saw himself as a small person with small principles. He wouldn't suddenly abandon the values and principles he had formed over twenty years just because he had gained great power.

After watching Chen Neng leave, Ye Feng refocused his attention on Le Ge and the others, especially the police officer, who was his primary concern.

Ye Feng felt that the worst person wasn't Le Ge but this police officer, who aided and abetted the bully. Such behavior was often more despicable than the actual bully's actions.

What made Ye Feng even angrier was that the police officer had come in his uniform, which showed an outrageous level of arrogance to do such a disgraceful act.

So, Ye Feng walked directly toward the police officer, determined to find out what kind of connection he had with Le Ge that made him willing to ignore his badge and help a thug against him.

This action immediately made Le Ge, who was standing next to the police officer, collapse both physically and mentally. He fell to his knees, slapping his own face hard, each slap resounding. After a few slaps, his cheeks were red and swollen.

"Brother, I was wrong, I was really wrong. I'm blind, I'm a fool. I beg you, Brother, please forgive me this time. I won't do it again," Le Ge sobbed, truly crying and begging. Not only was Ye Feng's skill terrifying, but the fact that Chen Neng, whom he had always admired, was so easily defeated and even warned him, left Le Ge no choice but to beg.

Clearly, in the face of absolute strength, his "big shot" status was meaningless. Unless he used a gun, which he couldn't find and wouldn't dare to use, he was just a thug, a leader of a small gang with some loyal followers and territory. He wasn't capable of killing or risking his life.

So, he could only kneel and beg for mercy. Le Ge's principle was that in the world of gangs, one must be flexible. Since he couldn't fight, it was better to beg and become a subordinate. He privately added a beautiful adverb to this principle: "A wise man knows when to yield." Even if he lost and became a subordinate, he would still be a wise man.

Seeing Le Ge kneeling and begging, Ye Feng couldn't help but laugh. He hadn't even been paying attention to Le Ge, but the police officer hadn't done anything, and Le Ge had already caved.

Given this situation, he probably didn't even need to use soul control.

But Ye Feng, learning from past experiences, decided to use soul control on the police officer.

The reason was simple: regardless of who this police officer was or whether he was Le Ge's backer, he needed a profound lesson for coming with a group of thugs to cause trouble. He needed to understand from the depths of his soul what he had done wrong and truly grasp the meaning of the word "police."

So, Ye Feng loudly said to the police officer, "Look at me."

The already nervous and fearful police officer shuddered and looked at Ye Feng with trepidation.

Then, under the influence of soul control, he, like Le Ge, fell to his knees.

This not only shocked Le Ge again but also left his gradually recovering henchmen speechless.
