Chapter 20: Divine Hidden Weapon

The strength of a Fourth Rank practitioner is already quite formidable among household guards. While they may not be able to shatter stones or split metal, they can exert a force of several hundred pounds, and the sound of their strikes can be heard as if they were breaking bones.

The difference in rank made it impossible for Ling Hua's guards to hold their ground. It took three or four guards to fend off one of the Xiao family's guards. Although the Ling family had a numerical advantage, they were helpless against people like Jiang Yuan.

Xu Feng watched as Jiang Yuan was surrounded by three Third Rank guards, gaining a direct understanding of the strength of a Fourth Rank practitioner. It took three Third Rank guards to match one Fourth Rank, and the difference in rank was now clearly significant.

Just as he took a step forward to help Jiang Yuan deal with a guard, Xiao Yilin blocked his way, saying, "Don't move around recklessly. A single Xuan practitioner could easily kill you."

Xiao Yilin's inexplicable disdain made Xu Feng shrug and stop. Since Jiang Yuan wasn't in any danger, he decided to let them handle it.

Ling Hua, seeing that over a dozen of her guards couldn't even deal with the other side's four guards, huffed and shouted to the attic behind her, "You deadbeat, come down and help your old lady."

At this sharp voice, Xiao Yilin's expression changed. She said to Jiang Yuan and the others, "Fall back, stop fighting."

Seeing Xiao Yilin's reaction, Xu Feng couldn't help but ask, "Second Miss! What's wrong?"

"The 'deadbeat' Ling Hua called is her old lover. He's quite strong, and a few of his followers have reached Fourth Rank. If he's here, we'll be at a disadvantage," Xiao Yilin replied, looking at Jiang Yuan and the others who were still being held back by the guards. She urgently said to Xu Feng, "You go back and inform my cousin to bring more people over."

"Second Miss, if you trust me, let me handle it," Xu Feng thought that calling for more people now would be too late.

"You?!" Xiao Yilin looked at Xu Feng with doubt, thinking that unless Xu Feng reached Fifth Rank, he wouldn't be of much use.

However, while Xiao Yilin was hesitating, Xu Feng had already darted into the fray. Xiao Yilin, who hadn't reacted in time, saw this and became anxious, thinking that with Xu Feng's frail build, even a slight bump from a Xuan practitioner could result in serious injuries.

But what made Xiao Yilin's eyes widen was that once Xu Feng entered the melee, he moved with ease and agility, which left her stunned.

And just as Xiao Yilin was in a daze, Xu Feng, seemingly pulling out lime powder from nowhere, threw it at Ling Hua's guards, shouting, "Watch my divine hidden weapon!"

"Ahh..."
