Chapter 58: Entering the Spirit Realm

Xu Feng never thought that this old man would really ignore Li Wei's safety and directly attack the Xiao family servants. Old Ling's strength was naturally unmatched; when he attacked the Xiao family servants, none of them could stand up to him. With two swift strikes, two servants were knocked to the ground, emitting cries of pain!

Seeing Old Ling's ruthless actions, the other servants fled in terror, not daring to face him at all.

"Hmph! Do you really think I won't dare to kill Li Wei?" Xu Feng narrowed his eyes, and with a sudden burst of force, Li Wei, who was under his foot, let out a cry of pain.

Old Ling, hearing Li Wei's cries, suddenly stopped, staring intently at Xu Feng. He found it hard to understand how this small servant could dare to kill a noble young master.

"If you dare to touch another of the Xiao family's servants, I will cut off Li Wei's throat. Don't believe me? Try it!" Xu Feng glared at Old Ling, his foot firmly pressing down on Li Wei's throat, ready to crush it.

Old Ling couldn't fathom how such a bloodthirsty aura could emanate from this thin servant. Looking at Li Wei under Xu Feng's foot, Old Ling had no doubt that Xu Feng would follow through. His eyes flickered with indecision.

Li Wei's life or death was not his concern; what mattered was whether Li Wei's death would make the Li family think he had failed to protect them. If the Li family turned against the Ling family because of this, it would be a loss.

Old Ling looked at Xu Feng, pondering for a long time before suddenly snorting, "Kill him if you want!"

This statement shocked Jiang Yuan, who never expected Old Ling to abandon Li Wei. Of course, Jiang Yuan didn't know that Old Ling had deliberated for a long time before making this decision. In Old Ling's view, if Li Wei died, the Li family would indeed be hostile to the Ling family, but they would be even more hostile to the Xiao family. Thus, he couldn't bear to be threatened by a young punk.

"I'll kill this person! If you have the guts, kill Mr. Li!" Old Ling pointed at Jiang Yuan and snorted at Xu Feng.

"Then let's see!" Xu Feng, a man who would rather break than bend, narrowed his eyes at Old Ling. If Jiang Yuan were really killed by Old Ling, Xu Feng would definitely use Li Wei's blood to avenge him.

Old Ling snorted, transforming his palm into a fist, and with full force, he struck at Jiang Yuan. Seeing Old Ling's actions, Xu Feng didn't hesitate, and he began to press down on Li Wei's throat with his foot.

Li Wei, whose breathing became increasingly difficult, had a pale face, his eyes wide with terror. He never thought that the Ling family would really ignore his safety.

"I'll send you to your death!" Xu Feng, seeing Old Ling's fist about to hit Jiang Yuan, glared coldly at Li Wei.

Just as Xu Feng's foot was about to press down, a loud shout suddenly rang out, and a figure darted towards Old Ling, "Stop it!"

"Bang..." Old Ling's body staggered backward, his face turning pale.

As Old Ling was thrown back, a stern voice rang out again, "Xu Feng, release your foot!"

"Ah..." A cry of pain erupted from Li Wei's mouth, a sound that made everyone who heard it feel the agony. Xu Feng's foot didn't crush Li Wei's throat but pressed down on his chest, twisting 180 degrees.

"Didn't I tell you to stop?" Xiao Rong, seeing that Xu Feng still pressed down after he ordered him to stop, felt his face lose its composure.

"Master! I'm really sorry! Your stern voice startled me, and my foot slipped involuntarily. I absolutely did not mean to defy your order!" Xu Feng looked at Xiao Rong with utmost seriousness.

Xiao Lin, standing nearby, couldn't help but spit, looking at Xu Feng's calm and composed appearance, which showed no sign of being startled, clearly indicating that he was deliberately tormenting Li Wei.

Xiao Rong hadn't said anything yet when Xiao Yilin, using a dissatisfied tone, said to Xiao Rong, "Uncle! Why are you so angry! It's all your fault for shouting so loudly, scaring Xu Feng!"

Xiao Rong, seeing his niece take Xu Feng's side and lie so openly, almost spat blood.

Xiao Yilin, ignoring Xiao Rong's ugly look, ran up to Xu Feng and boasted, "Xu Feng! Did I bring the reinforcements in time?"

Looking at the youthful and alluring Xiao Yilin, with her well-developed and seductive figure, Xu Feng lowered his voice and said to her, "It was timely, but Li Wei hasn't suffered much yet. With Master here, I can't be too harsh. Do you want to stomp on him a few times?"

Xiao Yilin's eyes lit up, and without hesitation, she used her delicate feet to stomp on Li Wei.

"Ah..."

Li Wei's pain was unbearable, and everyone couldn't help but draw a deep breath when they saw Xiao Yilin stomping on him like he was a stone. Especially Jiang Yuan, who thought Xu Feng was already ruthless, but found that Miss Second was even more formidable. Miss Second was the most vicious person in the Xiao family.

Xu Feng, watching from the side, was also speechless. He had never seen anyone treat a person like a stone before. This formidable existence made Xu Feng resolve never to provoke this girl in the future; she was too terrifying.

"Yilin! Stop it!" Xiao Rong, also not expecting his obedient niece to have this side, couldn't help but shout.

"Uncle? Are you calling me? Wait, let me stomp a few more times!" Xiao Yilin said in an innocent voice.

The servants felt black lines appear on their foreheads, not daring to look at Xiao Rong's extremely ugly expression.

"Alright!" After stomping a few times, Xiao Yilin clapped her hands, showing her white teeth and a beautiful smile, looking like an innocent and pitiable girl.

Xiao Rong felt a headache, feeling helpless about his niece. He wondered if he should send her back home and not let her stay in this small town.

"Xiao Lin! Go help Mr. Li up!" Xiao Rong said to Xiao Lin, looking at the already battered Li Wei with a hint of sympathy.

Xiao Lin walked up to Xu Feng and Xiao Yilin, and with a low voice, he said with a grin, "Watching you stomp was really satisfying. If Father weren't here, I would have wanted to try it too!"

Xu Feng, feeling embarrassed, realized that Xiao Lin was also a kindred spirit. He couldn't help but grin back at Xiao Lin.

"Ling Cai! Relying on your Ninth Rank strength to bully children, don't you feel ashamed?" Xiao Rong narrowed his eyes at Old Ling.

"Master Xiao, you're exaggerating! Didn't you also use your Tenth Rank strength against me?" Old Ling felt extremely aggrieved but was helpless when he saw Xiao Rong appear. Tenth Rank strength was the absolute ruler in this small town, and no one could challenge him.

"Fine! Since you say so, I'll deal with you today! Hmph, I'll see what Ling Gui can do about it!" Xiao Rong, looking at Old Ling, had a murderous intent.

Old Ling's face showed panic, never expecting that someone of Xiao Rong's status would have such thoughts.

"Today, I'll kill you! Tell Ling Gui that this small town is our ancestral land, and we are the true masters." Xiao Rong said calmly, extending his arm.

"Haha! Master Xiao, what a big talk. I want to see how you kill Ling Cai." Just as Xiao Rong was about to act, a wild laugh echoed.

"Ling Gui!" Xiao Rong's face hardened, "You finally show up. I thought you were dead."

"Hehe! The great General Xiao didn't die back then, why would I die?" Ling Gui smiled at Xiao Rong, "What? Is the great General Xiao going to kill Ling Cai? Then please go ahead!"

"Hmph!" Xiao Rong's face turned ugly at Ling Gui's repeated use of "great General Xiao," which was clearly a jab at his past. In the past, he was mighty, but now he was confined to this small town.

"If it were in the past, you would have died many times!" Xiao Rong glared at Ling Gui.

"You said it was in the past! Unfortunately, the great General Xiao is now a dog on the run, confined to this small town, and can hardly protect his ancestral land." Ling Gui didn't forget to taunt Xiao Rong.

"Even if my strength has declined, I can still handle you!" Xiao Rong snorted.

"Of course! With the great General Xiao's might, I don't doubt that. So today, I admit defeat, and we'll give you the workshop." Ling Gui narrowed his eyes.

Ling Gui's easy surrender made Xiao Rong frown. Ling Gui, who was always devious, wasn't so easy to deal with.

"Ling Cai! Take Mr. Li! Let's go!" Ling Gui, as if specifically coming to pick up Old Ling, shouted and turned to leave.

Xiao Rong nodded at Xiao Lin, letting him hand Li Wei over to the other side without further interference. Xiao Rong knew that although his strength was slightly superior to Ling Gui's, he couldn't easily defeat him. They had been rivals for a long time and knew each other's strengths and weaknesses.

"Yilin! Xu Feng! Follow me!" Xiao Rong shouted at Xu Feng and the others, bringing this conflict to a close with the arrival of the two strongest figures in the small town.

"Ling Cai, avoid conflict with the Xiao family for now." Ling Gui suddenly said to Old Ling, "Wait until I reach the Spirit Realm."

"Master is about to reach the Spirit Realm?" Old Ling was overjoyed.

"There's a trend, and it shouldn't take long. Hmph, once I reach the Spirit Realm, Xiao Rong will be nothing but an ant. Destroying the Xiao family in this small town will be effortless!" Ling Gui's eyes glinted with cold light.

Old Ling's face turned red with excitement. The Spirit Realm! That was a realm that required withstanding heavenly lightning to achieve!

Seemingly sensing Old Ling's excitement, Ling Gui also narrowed his eyes, sighing, "I never thought I would have the chance to reach this realm in my lifetime!"

Ling Gui's sigh didn't reach Xiao Rong's ears. If Xiao Rong had heard Ling Gui's words, he would have been terrified. The Spirit Realm was not unfamiliar to him; a cultivator at this level could easily destroy him. If Ling Gui reached the Spirit Realm, the Xiao family would face a catastrophic disaster!
