Chapter 7

This person who suddenly stepped forward was naturally Yuan Feng.

He had already been watching in the crowd for quite some time. To be honest, if Fang Li had been conducting a proper transaction with the old man, he wouldn't have said anything, even if Fang Li had haggled with the old man, he wouldn't have stepped forward.

Haggling is a normal part of a transaction, but the three of them, Fang Li and his servants, were clearly trying to force a robbery. This was no longer haggling but outright bullying the weak!

Whether in his previous life or this one, he despised such bullies the most. He didn't care what the third young master of the Fang family was like before, but now that he had encountered such a situation, he would not stand idly by.

The sudden voice made Fang Li and his servants slightly stunned. They were used to bullying in Fengtian County, and no one had ever dared to interfere with their affairs. At this moment, they were truly curious about who would dare to meddle in their business.

"Ha ha ha, I thought it was someone else, but it turns out to be you, trash Feng. Are you tired of living? How dare you interfere with my affairs?"

When Fang Li turned around and saw who was speaking, he was first stunned, then burst into laughter.

In Fengtian County, who didn't know the name of the Yuan family's trash Feng? A second-level martial artist at sixteen, a laughingstock throughout the county, almost a household name. Among the direct descendants of the three major families, Yuan Feng could be said to be the most bullied, even those younger than him dared to humiliate him face-to-face. There was no way around it; his second-level Condensation Yuan Realm strength was the worst among all the noble family disciples.

Yuan Feng smiled calmly, not taking it to heart, "Fang Li, you are the third young master of the Fang family, yet you are so unreasonable. Twenty gold ingots mean nothing to you, why must you make things difficult for an old man?"

"Wow? Is this the Yuan family's trash Feng? When did you learn to stand up for justice?" Supporting his chin with one hand, Fang Li looked at Yuan Feng with interest, "The Yuan family's trash, standing up for justice isn't wrong, but do you think you can be a hero? I heard you fell into a valley a few days ago, did you hit your head?"

Fang Li's lips curled with a mocking smile, but his face showed no worry.

He knew Yuan Feng better than anyone. From childhood, he had bullied him countless times, especially when Yuan Feng pursued the second young lady of the Yun family. He saw Yuan Feng as a thorn in his side, and whenever they met, he would humiliate him.

He, Fang Li, had long admired the second young lady of the Yun family, Yun Mengchen, and always considered her his private property. Yuan Feng pursuing Yun Mengchen, in his view, was a desecration of his goddess, and he could not forgive it.

"Hmph, whether I can be a hero or not doesn't matter. Some things, once encountered, cannot be ignored," Yuan Feng coldly said, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

Once upon a time, he was no longer the weak and helpless young master. For so many years, he had played the role of a bullied person, not daring to fight back or speak up. Perhaps today was the day he would turn over a new leaf.

"The old man wants twenty gold ingots to sell these red ginsengs. Young Master Fang Li, please take out twenty gold ingots, or leave quickly and don't interfere with the old man's business."

Without waiting for Fang Li and his servants to react, he snatched the package and handed it directly to the old man.

"Bold!"

Seeing Yuan Feng snatch the package, Fang Li was instantly furious, "Trash Feng, have you eaten a leopard's heart today? When did it become your turn to point fingers at me?"

He, a fourth-level Condensation Yuan Realm martial artist, with two third-level Condensation Yuan Realm servants by his side, naturally didn't take Yuan Feng, a second-level Condensation Yuan Realm trash, seriously.

"Hmph, I also tell you, I will definitely interfere with this matter today. If you want to bully the weak, you must get past me first."

Yuan Feng was not intimidated. As he spoke, he moved the old man to the side and faced off against Fang Li and his servants.

"Ha, trash Feng, I've always found you annoying, and I didn't expect you to come to me today. Since you want to be a hero, I'll make you one. Go, give this trash a good lesson."

In this world where martial arts were supreme, the way to solve problems was simple and primitive. Everything could be resolved with fists, and the one with the bigger fist was the one who spoke the truth.

"Since you are seeking death, don't blame me. Dragon Step!"

Seeing Fang Li's servants move, Yuan Feng smiled coldly. With a swift slide of his feet, he used the Dragon Step. Before anyone could see what happened, he was already between the two servants, in a position where neither could reach him.

"Vajra Fist!"

How exquisite was the Dragon Step? The gap Yuan Feng chose was the blind spot of Fang Li's two servants. By the time they reacted, his fist was already in front of one of them.

"Bang!"

A solid punch directly hit a guard's face, and he saw blackness. The immense force sent him flying, blood gushing from his nose as he landed on his back, unconscious.

"Hmph, not even a match!"

With one punch, he took down a servant. Yuan Feng didn't stop, and in a swift movement, he was beside the other servant. Changing his fist to a claw, he grabbed the other's wrist, and with a shake, the other fell to the ground.

"Scram!"

Having taken down the second servant, Yuan Feng didn't let up. He channeled his Yuan energy into his right leg and kicked the servant on the ground.

"Bang!"

He didn't hold back against Fang Li's two servants. Over the years, these two had done countless bad deeds with Fang Li. Today, he would give them a lesson so they wouldn't dare to do evil again.

With his fourth-level Condensation Yuan Realm strength, this kick was powerful and filled with hatred. The servant on the ground flew several meters, crashing into a roadside stall before stopping. When he stopped, he was also unconscious, silent.

In an instant, Fang Li's two servants were both taken down, the entire process happening in a flash.

"Whew, this, this..."

Not far away, Fang Li watched everything with wide eyes, his face full of disbelief. Seeing his two servants taken down before they could even act, he felt as if he were in a dream.

"Impossible, this is impossible!"

His eyes wide, Fang Li stared at Yuan Feng, fear already showing in his eyes.

"How could this be? When did trash Feng break through? And how could he have such speed? This is absolutely impossible!"

Yuan Feng's Vajra Fist had already revealed his cultivation. Being able to use martial techniques already indicated his level. Only those who reached the third-level Condensation Yuan Realm could cultivate martial techniques. Since Yuan Feng used the Vajra Fist, he was undoubtedly at the third-level Condensation Yuan Realm.

However, the third-level Condensation Yuan Realm wasn't what shocked Fang Li. Yuan Feng was already sixteen, and breaking through to the third-level Condensation Yuan Realm wasn't surprising. Even at the third-level Condensation Yuan Realm, he was still one level below Fang Li, not a threat.

What truly frightened him was Yuan Feng's speed.

Fang Li admitted that even if he used his full strength, his speed wouldn't be a tenth of Yuan Feng's. Even among the elders of his family, he had never seen such bizarre speed. This was what truly terrified him.

"Young Master Fang Li, do you think I have the right to meddle now?"

Instantly taking down two third-level Condensation Yuan Realm servants, Yuan Feng was full of fighting spirit. This was his first real fight, and it seemed to be going well.

"Ah, this is crazy!"

At this point, Fang Li didn't dare to think much. With a loud cry, he turned and ran.

Today's events were too bizarre. The acknowledged trash of Fengtian County had broken through and somehow learned a terrifying speed technique. It was like a dream. Now, he just wanted to escape this terrifying nightmare.

"Hehe, want to run? Not so easy!"

Seeing Fang Li trying to escape, Yuan Feng smiled. He was in high spirits, and two third-level Condensation Yuan Realm Fang family servants weren't enough to satisfy him. With his current strength, he needed at least a fourth-level Condensation Yuan Realm opponent to challenge him.

Although Fang Li was also at the fourth-level Condensation Yuan Realm, in terms of speed, he was far inferior to Yuan Feng, who had the Dragon Step. Before he could run a few meters, Yuan Feng was already behind him.

"Stay here."

With his speed advantage, Yuan Feng grabbed Fang Li's shoulder. Fang Li, focused on running, instinctively tried to break free, but before he could, he was kicked in the calf.

"Thud!"

"Ah!"

Yuan Feng's bizarre speed made Fang Li panic. If they had faced off directly, even if he was no match, he wouldn't have been so easily defeated. Unfortunately, although the third young master of the Fang family was evil, his mental fortitude was lacking.

Since he was knocked down while running, Fang Li fell flat on his face, his once handsome face turning into a bloody mess.

"Bang!"

After knocking down Fang Li, Yuan Feng followed up, stepping on Fang Li's head, pinning him down.

"Hehe, Young Master Fang Li, since you decided to buy the red ginseng, why didn't you leave the money?"

Stepping on Fang Li's head, Yuan Feng felt a surge of pride. In this world, only strength was the truth. Once, he was weak and could be bullied, but now he could bully others. He swore that in this life, he would only bully others and never let others bully him.

"Waste... Ah, Brother Yuan Feng, please lift your noble foot, I'll pay, I'll pay, okay!"

At this moment, Fang Li had no more of his previous arrogance. Being stepped on by Yuan Feng, he could only beg for mercy. Honestly, if he had known the outcome, he would have paid the twenty gold ingots long ago.

"Hmph, if you had known, why did you do it in the first place?" Coldly, Yuan Feng moved his foot, "Pay up, and don't try any tricks, or I'll make you like them, unable to run."

"Yes, yes, I'll pay, I'll pay." Struggling to his feet, Fang Li didn't dare to run. He reached into his sleeve and took out a golden card.

"This is a fifty gold ingot gold ticket. The extra is for the old man's compensation." He handed the gold ticket to Yuan Feng without hesitation.

"You know your place, remember to be honest in the future, or I'll beat you every time I see you. Scram!" Yuan Feng laughed and scolded.

"Yes, I won't dare, I won't dare." Fang Li felt as if he had been granted a pardon and hurriedly ran away, not caring about his two fallen servants.

After letting Fang Li go, Yuan Feng smiled and turned to the old man with the gold ticket.

"Old man, this is a fifty gold ingot gold ticket, take it." The old man, who hadn't left, quickly took the gold ticket, his hands trembling with excitement.

"Thank you, Young Master Yuan Feng, thank you, Young Master Yuan Feng." The old man was overwhelmed with gratitude, kneeling and bowing repeatedly.

"Old man, no need to be so formal, it was just a small effort!" Yuan Feng quickly helped the old man up, smiling.

"Young Master Yuan Feng, these red ginsengs, Young Master Fang Li forgot to take. Please pass them on when you have the chance. Also, as a martial artist, I have a broken book I found in a cave while digging for herbs. I don't know if it's useful, but please take it as a token of my gratitude."

The old man put down the package of red ginseng and took out a broken book from his pocket, respectfully handing it to Yuan Feng.

"En?"

When he saw the book, Yuan Feng was about to refuse, but when he saw the illustrations on the book, his eyes lit up.

"Ha ha, thank you, old man." Smiling, Yuan Feng didn't refuse, putting the book in his pocket, "I'll keep the red ginseng for Fang Li and pass it on when I have the chance. If anyone bothers you again, come to the Yuan family and find me."

Picking up the package, Yuan Feng turned and disappeared into the crowd.

"Ah, it seems there are still good people in this world!" The old man watched Yuan Feng leave, feeling grateful. At this moment, regardless of the previous reputation of the third young master of the Yuan family, in his heart, the third young master of the Yuan family was the greatest good person in the world.

Tightly holding the fifty gold ingot gold ticket, the old man happily returned home.
