"Why do we need to be cautious? Why don't we just go and attack the Liu family directly?"
When Zhao Feng said this, the members of the Zhao family branch were all taken aback.
Attack the Liu family?
The patriarch, Zhao Kaiyuan, and the elders looked at him with fear, shaking their heads repeatedly: "Absolutely not! The Liu family's power in Qingye Town is overwhelming, and the Zhao family is weak and isolated..."
In their minds, when facing the Liu family, they could only submit or, at most, be cautious.
As for taking the initiative to attack, it was something they dared not even think about, unless they were tired of living.
"I will handle this matter."
As soon as Zhao Feng finished speaking, his figure flickered, leaving a residual image on the spot.
In the next moment, he leaped onto the eaves of the opposite house and disappeared in a few breaths.
Not good!
Zhao Kaiyuan and Zhao Tianyang, among others, were alarmed.
How powerful was the Liu family in Qingye Town? How could a rising new talent like Zhao Feng shake their foundation?
"Quickly, catch up with him!"
Several people in the room shouted in alarm.
However, throughout the Zhao family branch, and even the entire Qingye Town, who could match Zhao Feng's speed?
Even Zhao Kaiyuan, the strongest of the Zhao family branch, was far from reaching half of Zhao Feng's speed.
Zhao Feng used the "Piao Ling Du" technique to leap between the houses and trees in the town, barely touching the ground. In some open areas, he even borrowed force from the air.
At this point, his "Piao Ling Du" technique was almost at the peak of its mastery.
For some reason, when he activated this light body martial art, Zhao Feng naturally applied the "Sui Feng Shi" (Following the Wind) technique's profound meaning.
"Sui Feng Shi" was the easiest of the four holy-level incomplete techniques Zhao Feng obtained from the Xuanwu Pavilion.
At this moment, when using the "Piao Ling Du" technique, Zhao Feng naturally integrated the "Sui Feng Shi" technique, making his movements more graceful and natural, as if he were one with the surrounding wind.
Thud! Thud!
Zhao Feng felt his body become more agile, and his leaps through the air were smoother. He could change direction at will while in mid-air.
Unconsciously, his "Piao Ling Du" technique reached the peak of its mastery, and his speed advanced to another level.
In just a moment, Zhao Feng's speed increased again.
Whoosh!
To the naked eye, only a residual image flashed between the houses and trees, moving at an incredible speed.
Zhao Feng was delighted, never expecting that a seemingly powerless "Sui Feng Shi" technique could have such a significant auxiliary effect.
This showed that when Zhao Linlong comprehended the "Sui Feng Shi" technique and used it as an offensive martial art, it was a complete misunderstanding.
At the Liu family residence in Qingye Town:
"Report to the elder, a genius youth from the Zhao family has appeared, with overwhelming strength, and has crippled several of our brothers."
A Liu family warrior with disheveled hair reported, trembling with fear.
"Hmm? The Zhao family, daring to harm our people?"
In the hall, a slightly plump middle-aged man in a luxurious robe spoke calmly.
As he spoke, the plump middle-aged man sipped his tea, appearing nonchalant.
In Qingye Town, the Liu family was undoubtedly the dominant force. In recent years, anyone who dared to challenge their authority had vanished without a trace.
The Zhao family, in the eyes of the Liu family, was just a small family that could be easily destroyed. If not for the higher Zhao clan above them, the Liu family would have already annexed them.
"Elder, you must stand up for us. The Zhao family dares to do this, showing no respect for you and the patriarch."
Several Liu family enforcers pleaded.
"Spread the word. Give the Zhao family one day to hand over that youth. Otherwise, they will bear the consequences."
The plump middle-aged man's voice suddenly turned cold, and the atmosphere in the room became oppressive and heavy.
"Yes, yes."
Several Liu family enforcers, with looks of relief, immediately agreed.
"Bad news! That youth from the Zhao family has attacked our residence."
At this moment, a chaotic noise came from somewhere in the Liu family residence.
Thud! Thud!
A residual image flashed through the Zhao family residence, moving through the area like a ghost, with no one able to resist even a single move.
"Report to the elder! Report to the patriarch! A youth from the Zhao family has entered the residence and injured over a dozen people."
The Liu family residence was in chaos.
The residual image appeared each time, effortlessly subduing a martial artist.
In the main hall of the Liu family residence:
The patriarch, Liu Guirong, along with two elders and six martial artists, gathered together.
"That person's speed is too fast. Even a fifth-rank martial artist cannot match it."
Another emaciated elder said.
"The Zhao family branch has never produced such a genius. At such a young age, he must have at least a peak fifth-rank cultivation."
The plump elder, who was no longer as relaxed, had a serious expression.
With the cultivation of the two elders at the fifth rank, they could hardly see the youth's figure, let alone chase him.
Fortunately, the residence had returned to calm, and there was no sign of the Zhao family genius's actions.
Everyone's gaze turned to the patriarch, Liu Guirong, who had the highest cultivation.
Liu Guirong, at the age of sixty, with white hair, maintained a calm demeanor and said, "In terms of speed, I cannot match him either."
How could this be!
Everyone was shocked.
It was well-known that Liu Guirong had broken through to the sixth rank six months ago, making him the first in Qingye Town.
What should we do?
The Liu family's top officials were at a loss.
"Of course, if he appears in person, I am confident I can defeat him."
Only the patriarch, Liu Guirong, remained calm, without a hint of panic.
"Hmph! If that boy dares to appear in the main hall, I will make sure he doesn't return."
Everyone echoed with cold voices.
At this moment, the main hall was filled with over 80% of the Liu family's top officials, whose combined strength could crush any force in Qingye Town.
If the Zhao family youth dared to intrude, it would be like walking into a trap.
This was precisely Liu Guirong's strategy: to wait and act.
"Hehe, you are all gathered here, which is perfect. It saves me the trouble."
A young man's light laughter came from the top of the house.
Everyone in the hall changed their expressions.
When did the Zhao family genius get above their heads?
Crack!
The roof shook, and tiles shattered as a slightly young-looking youth landed in the center of the hall.
The newcomer was none other than Zhao Feng.
His landing point was right in the center of the Liu family's top officials.
This created an extremely dangerous situation, with Zhao Feng completely surrounded by the Liu family's top officials, like a trapped beast.
"Ha ha ha... A perfect trap, and you walked right into it!"
The plump elder's face was flushed with excitement, and he laughed loudly.
Liu Guirong and the emaciated elder also showed a hint of joy.
The other six martial artists were also excited, secretly gathering their martial arts energy.
"Young man, you are indeed excellent, but you are still too inexperienced."
Liu Guirong's face was filled with a victorious smile.
If Zhao Feng had continued to avoid direct confrontation, with his superior light body speed, they would have been helpless.
But who would have thought that Zhao Feng would give up this advantage and face the Liu family's top officials directly?
At this moment, the Liu family's top officials looked at Zhao Feng in the center with a gaze that seemed to be looking at a fool, each with a playful and malicious expression.
Zhao Feng was taken aback but quickly realized.
"It seems you still haven't figured out who is the prey and who is the hunter."
Zhao Feng smiled mischievously.
"Boy, surrender now."
Several martial artists slowly approached, ready to attack.
Only the patriarch, Liu Guirong, had a hint of doubt in his eyes.
But at this moment, Zhao Feng was already surrounded, like a fish in a pot.
"Capture him!"
The plump elder shouted, and the martial artists launched their attacks.
Tiger Roar Fist!
Stone-Crushing Palm!
Flying Cloud Kick!
...
The martial artists attacked from all sides, using various martial arts.
Zhao Feng was immediately faced with the attacks of six martial artists.
Liu Guirong and the two elders focused on the possible escape routes.
However, Zhao Feng, who was surrounded, seemed to have no intention of escaping.
Smack! Bang! Clang...
A series of attacks landed on him.
Iron Wall Shock!
Zhao Feng's body became as hard as an iron wall, generating an invisible counter-shock force, fierce and powerful enough to shatter iron and stone.
Crack! Crack! Crack...
A series of bone-breaking sounds echoed.
The attacks of the six martial artists, almost simultaneously, landed on Zhao Feng and were repelled by the terrifying counter-shock force, breaking their bones and causing severe injuries.
Thud! Thud! Thud...
The six martial artists fell to the ground, moaning in pain, each with severe injuries and unable to fight.
This scene left Liu Guirong and the two elders, who had not yet attacked, stunned and frozen in place.
When they finally reacted, they drew in a deep breath, their faces filled with shock and fear.
"This... How did you do this?"
The plump elder exclaimed.
"It's your turn."
Zhao Feng calmly looked at Liu Guirong and the two elders.
"Young man, let's talk this out."
Liu Guirong forced a smile, which looked more like a grimace.
Zhao Feng's strength, demonstrated just now, was far beyond their comprehension. No wonder he dared to single-handedly attack the Liu family's stronghold.
Even Liu Guirong now had no confidence in dealing with Zhao Feng.
"You have one day to withdraw all the Liu family's martial artists from Qingye Town. If not, I will cripple your cultivation."
Zhao Feng said coldly.
He had grown up in Qingye Town and was well aware of the Liu family's ruthless methods.
Therefore, Zhao Feng's punishment was relatively lenient.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Liu Guirong immediately agreed and gave a signal to the plump elder and the emaciated elder.
So easily?
Just as Zhao Feng was surprised, a sudden change occurred.
Cloud-Breaking Palm!
Liu Guirong's martial arts energy suddenly burst forth, launching a high-level peak attack straight at Zhao Feng's forehead.
"Boy, die!"
The plump elder and the emaciated elder attacked from two other directions, surrounding Zhao Feng.
At close range, facing a sixth-rank martial artist and two fifth-rank martial artists, even Zhao Feng was caught off guard.
"Young man, you are still too inexperienced!"
Liu Guirong sneered, the force of his palm already pressing down on Zhao Feng's head.
"Ignorant and foolish!"
Zhao Feng smiled coldly, leaving a residual image on the spot, forming a series of illusions between the three.
Not good!
The attacks of Liu Guirong and the two elders all missed, not even touching Zhao Feng's clothes.
Whoosh!
In the next moment, the illusion flickered.
Zhao Feng's figure reappeared between the three, the situation exactly the same as before, as if time had reversed.
What!
Liu Guirong and the two elders were shocked, staring at Zhao Feng, who was right in front of them, their backs drenched in cold sweat.
"Advanced footwork... Perfect realm?"
Liu Guirong's voice was hoarse, barely managing to speak.
At this moment, they finally realized the true terror of the youth before them.
