Chapter 46: An Unexpected Enemy
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Since you’re out on the street, shouldn’t you be prepared to lose your life at any moment?”
Under Lu Yu’s astonished gaze, Lin Feng swung out his right hand and slashed down at Lu Yu’s dagger.
“I didn’t expect to hear such naive words from a gang leader.”
Clang!
The broken blade fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
“What!”
Lu Yu was shocked. She stared blankly at the remaining half of the dagger in her hand.
What exactly happened?
Why did the dagger break?
She did not know what had just happened. Something just seemed to have streaked across. When she came back to her senses, the dagger in her hand had already been broken in half.
A huge wound also appeared on her body.
“Plkch!”
Fresh blood kept gushing out of her body. Lu Yu felt her strength being drawn away bit by bit along with the blood.
Lu Yu knelt on the ground weakly, coughing blood constantly. The internal organs and bones inside could be seen in her huge wound.
The light in her eyes dimmed as Lu Yu’s life officially came to an end.
Even so, her eyes were still fixed on Lin Feng.
“Monster, I’ll be waiting for you in hell.”
Ignoring Lu Yu’s curse, Lin Feng spread his fingers and covered Lu Yu’s face.
“You don’t have to worry about that. Alright, tell me honestly now, who sent you here>”
“Rascal, dream on… Yes… Yes, yes…”
Lu Yu was about to say something fierce, but the moment Lin Feng’s spiritual energy entered her, her expression changed. She suddenly realized that she couldn’t control her body.
[Spiritual Energy Skill · Delirium]
Using spiritual power to affect the target’s body was usually used to cause damage from the inside.
However, in the hands of people with strong control, they could also achieve other effects.
For example, Lin Feng was using his spiritual power to affect Lu Yu’s brain, allowing her to enter a special state of calmness.
It was similar to the truth serum.
“You…”
“Alright, I don’t have time to waste with you. It’s all thanks to you that I’ve understood a principle. No matter what world we are in, it’s best to completely get rid of all troubles. Otherwise, more troubles will arise.”
Ignoring Lu Yu’s reaction, Lin Feng’s voice entered Lu Yu’s mind.
[Spiritual Energy Skill · Induce]
He infused his spiritual power into his voice to enhance the penetrating force and to have his words carry a certain amount of enticement.
The upgraded version of this skill was [Spirit of Words], which could trigger various phenomena with words.
Everything around them seemed to become extremely slow at this moment, as if time had been slowed down.
“Tell me, who told you about me and sent you to find me?”
The light in Lu Yu’s eyes was gradually dissipating. The temperature of her body continued to drop, and her breathing became very weak.
“It’s… it’s the Li family…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Lu Yu breathed her last.
Thump.
Lin Feng threw Lu Yu onto the ground and his expression finally changed.
“Li family, Li Qingxi. Things seem to be getting interesting.”
He felt the weakness in his body.
Lin Feng looked at his bloodstained palm.
In the end, it was still because he was not strong enough. If not, he would know everything by directly reading this person’s memories.
There would be no need for all that earlier trouble.
However, he did not expect it to be the Li family.
To be honest, when Lin Feng first heard this name, he immediately thought of Li Qingxi.
He thought that the other party was intending to seize by force and take him for herself.
But he quickly negated this idea.
Even if Li Qingxi had such thoughts in the beginning and even started a plan, the two of them had gone through the school assassination together. Li Qingxi should have gotten a clearer understanding of his strength then.
After the two of them separated, she should have canceled this plan immediately.
Since it wasn’t Li Qingxi, who could it be from the Li family?
Recalling the recent assassination, Lin Feng suddenly had a guess.
“This woman is indeed troublesome.”
If there really was a connection between the two incidents, then the previous assassination might have been planned by someone within the Li family.
And he just happened to get involved in this internal strife.
To be honest, he really hated this. It was the same in his previous life. He just wanted to cultivate peacefully, but in the end, he was dragged into one incident after another.
And there were always idiots who thought they were capable enough who would provoke him time and time again.
As there troubles followed close upon another and there were too many of them, Lin Feng developed a habit.
As soon as he notices subtle signs of trouble, he would eliminate the source of the trouble as soon as possible to avoid further problems.
It was like this in the past, and it was no exception now.
“Well, she’s a companion who has risked her life with me. Let’s just take it that I’m helping Li Qingxi weed out the thorny people in her family.”
After making his decision, Lin Feng carried the bag from the bookstore and looked at the corpse on the ground.
“I’ll let her take care of this. I’ve already done her such a great favor, I believe she won’t say no.”
He was naturally referring to Li Qingxi. After that assassination, Lin Feng now had a deep impression of the efficiency of Li Qingxi’s subordinates.
As he walked out, as his spiritual power had been considerably depleted Lin Feng felt like he was floating as he walked.
Even so, Lin Feng’s speed was still fast. One second ago, he was deep in the alley, and the next, he was at the alley’s entrance.
His figure tottered unsteadily, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the sea of people.
