"Blue-skinned dog, I, Chu Fengmian, have come to collect the elixirs. It's not something a mere servant like you can control, is it? A dog should just stand aside obediently. Your master hasn't even spoken, and you dare to talk to me, Chu Fengmian?"
Chu Fengmian glanced at Lin Gou, his words filled with ridicule.
Lin Gou's face bore several scars from past battles, one of which had caused much of his skin to necrotize, turning it blue. Therefore, many people in the Lin Manor secretly called him "Blue-skinned dog."
However, they only dared to call him that in secret. In reality, no one dared to face Lin Gou directly, as he was the deputy steward of the Lin Manor's outer court, the true first person in the outer court. Offending him face-to-face would not be a good idea.
"Is Chu Fengmian out of his mind today? How could he directly insult Lin Gou?"
Many disciples of the Lin Manor's outer court were shocked by the scene.
Chu Fengmian, who usually dared not even speak loudly to Lin Gou, had now directly insulted him.
Lin Gou hated these three words the most.
Sure enough, upon hearing "Blue-skinned dog," Lin Gou's face instantly changed, and a surge of anger rose in his heart.
If this were not the Lin Manor, Lin Gou might have attacked immediately.
"How about this? I call you a dog, and you can only obediently accept it. I, Chu Fengmian, am the head steward of the outer court, and calling you a dog is a favor to you."
Chu Fengmian, seeing Lin Gou's rapidly changing expression, sneered continuously.
As he spoke, Chu Fengmian strode forward and walked directly to Lin Gou's face.
"Still not moving? You don't have the qualifications to enter the Spirit Medicine Hall."
He intended to make Lin Gou move aside from the start.
"Chu Fengmian, do you really think you are the head steward of the Lin Manor's outer court? You want me to make way for you, a waste of flesh?"
Lin Gou, looking at Chu Fengmian, was both angry and furious.
He was also a bit confused about what was going on with Chu Fengmian. If he gave way to Chu Fengmian, a mere waste, he would have no future in the Lin Manor.
"I'm here today. I want to see what you can do to make me move!"
Lin Gou stood in front of Chu Fengmian, sneering.
In the Lin Manor, he could not attack Chu Fengmian directly, but standing there, with his Bone Tempering Fourth Stage cultivation, he wanted to see what Chu Fengmian could do.
"Is that so? Looking for a beating?"
Chu Fengmian's eyes flickered, and his figure suddenly rushed forward, reaching Lin Gou in an instant.
"What?"
The speed was so fast that even Lin Gou did not react in time.
Chu Fengmian's hand had already grabbed Lin Gou's clothes, and with a sudden force, he threw Lin Gou out of the Spirit Medicine Hall, smashing him into the floor, breaking several stone bricks.
"Disrespecting your superiors, I, as the head steward of the Lin Manor's outer court, should teach you a lesson."
Chu Fengmian glanced at Lin Gou and said coldly.
"How fast!"
"Is this Chu Fengmian? Such speed, even a Bone Tempering Fifth Stage might not be able to achieve."
"And look, the strength Chu Fengmian used to throw Lin Gou out. It must be at least Bone Tempering Third Stage. When did Chu Fengmian have such strength?"
"Could it be that Chu Fengmian has been hiding his true strength all along, and now he has finally revealed it?"
Many disciples of the Lin Manor's outer court watched in disbelief, amazed at how powerful Chu Fengmian had become.
Previously, when they heard about Chu Fengmian defeating Cao Dahuai, they were somewhat skeptical. After all, Cao Dahuai's strength was easily defeated by any disciple of the Lin Manor.
Chu Fengmian defeating Cao Dahuai was normal, but now Lin Gou, a true disciple of the Lin Manor's outer court and considered mid-level, was thrown out of the Spirit Medicine Hall without any resistance. This was simply unbelievable.
"Damn it! Chu Fengmian, do you dare to fight me properly, without sneaking up on me?"
Lin Gou got up from the ground. As a martial artist, he was not injured by the fall, but he looked extremely disheveled.
Being thrown out of the Spirit Medicine Hall in front of so many Lin Manor disciples was a great humiliation for Lin Gou.
"Oh? It seems the lesson I gave you wasn't enough."
Chu Fengmian glanced at Lin Gou, his eyes revealing a hint of killing intent.
Lin Gou was a lapdog that the Lin Manor's outer court had raised to target Chu Fengmian. Today, Chu Fengmian would cripple this lapdog to show the people of the Lin Manor's outer court that he was no longer the Chu Fengmian of the past.
"In the Lin Manor, those who disrespect their superiors shall die!"
Chu Fengmian coldly spat out these words.
His figure moved again, and in an instant, he was in front of Lin Gou, covering a distance of several meters.
This time, Lin Gou was prepared. He had anticipated Chu Fengmian's speed and, as Chu Fengmian attacked, Lin Gou punched him with a powerful strike.
The Lin Manor's Yellow Rank Intermediate Martial Technique, Lin Ba Quan (Lin Overlord Fist).
Lin Gou, following the deputy steward of the outer court, had received many benefits. This Yellow Rank Intermediate Martial Technique could only be cultivated by martial artists at Bone Tempering Fifth Stage and above. Now, at Bone Tempering Fourth Stage, Lin Gou had already learned it, clearly due to the deputy steward's influence.
This punch was extremely domineering, a pure display of strength aimed at Chu Fengmian. If hit, Chu Fengmian would likely be half-dead.
"Chu Fengmian, die! Even if you have opened your spirit meridians, the gap between Bone Tempering Third Stage and Bone Tempering Fourth Stage is not something you can bridge!"
"Just be a waste of flesh!"
Lin Gou's lips curled into a mad smile.
This punch, if it hit Chu Fengmian's body, would damage his spirit meridians, and the spirit energy he had just recovered would be lost.
"Is that so?"
Chu Fengmian smiled.
The moment the punch hit Chu Fengmian's body, his body suddenly shattered.
An illusion!
The Chu Fengmian Lin Gou had hit was just an illusion of Chu Fengmian.
"What?"
This sudden change left Lin Gou unprepared. Almost simultaneously, Chu Fengmian kicked Lin Gou.
"Bang!"
Chu Fengmian did not hold back. Lin Gou's body flew and crashed into a courtyard wall, spitting out a mouthful of blood and nearly passing out.
"What is Chu Fengmian doing?"
Many people saw Chu Fengmian walking towards the fallen Lin Gou.
In the shocked eyes of the crowd, Chu Fengmian's foot was already stepping on Lin Gou's right arm.
"You wanted to cripple me? Today, I'll cripple you first!"
As he spoke, Chu Fengmian's foot stomped down hard.
Crack.
A crisp sound, and Lin Gou's right arm was crushed.
"Ah!"
Lin Gou's scream chilled the hearts of all the Lin Manor disciples.
When did Chu Fengmian become so ruthless?
Not just the right arm, but Lin Gou's left arm and both legs were also broken by Chu Fengmian's relentless stomping.
Only when Lin Gou passed out did Chu Fengmian kick him away. Two outer court disciples quickly ran over and carried Lin Gou away.
"Ruthless, truly ruthless."
"The Lin Manor's outer court is about to change. Chu Fengmian has truly grown up."
"Chu Fengmian, with the bloodline of the previous Manor Lord, truly lives up to the saying that a tiger's den does not produce dogs."
All the Lin Manor disciples watched in shock and awe as Chu Fengmian walked into the Spirit Medicine Hall.
