“You dare.” Li Wu roared in fury, glaring coldly at Li Feng. For an ancient martial artist, cultivation was more important than life itself. Especially for Li Wu. Whether he wanted to become the heir of the Li family or a direct disciple of his sect, everything depended on his cultivation. If Li Feng truly crippled him, Li Wu would be finished.
“There is nothing in this world that I, Li Feng, do not dare to do.” Li Feng sneered, his eyes gleaming. He stomped on the ground and charged toward Li Wu.
“I will fight you to the death.” A ferocious look appeared on Li Wu’s face. He frantically circulated his true qi and rushed forward instead of retreating to kill Li Feng.
Li Feng threw a punch.
A massive fist gang appeared in midair and smashed heavily into Li Wu who was charging at him.
Boom…
The gang energy around Li Wu collapsed instantly. He groaned, spat out a mouthful of blood, and flew backwards through the air.
Li Feng sneered and walked toward Li Wu.
“Li Feng, you, you really want to cripple me?” Li Wu asked in some fear.
“Yes. If I cannot kill you, I will cripple you.” Li Feng said with cold eyes.
“Li Feng, even if you do not kill me and only cripple me, my father will never let you go. Are you not afraid of my father’s revenge?” Li Wu said.
“Hahaha, Li Wu, saying such things at this point, are you being too naive? If I do not kill you or cripple you, will Li Xiangyang spare me? Do you think I am an idiot, or are you the idiot?” Li Feng laughed. At this moment, Li Wu was no different from an ordinary person, afraid of death and clinging to life.
Li Wu fell silent. Ever since he learned that Li Feng was not a waste, Li Xiangyang would never let Li Feng go. Whether Li Feng killed him or not, crippled him or not, in Li Xiangyang’s eyes, the plan to deal with Li Feng would not change.
“Moreover, once I cripple you, do you think Li Xiangyang will still value you as much as he does now? You still have a younger brother, Li Feiyu. If I were Li Xiangyang, I would focus on cultivating Li Feiyu instead. As for you, a cripple, I would kick you aside.”
At this point, Li Feng paused, looked at Li Wu, and sneered. “Perhaps if I cripple you, Li Feiyu will even thank me properly.”
Li Wu’s expression changed. “Li Feng, do not talk nonsense. My father is not the kind of person you describe. Moreover, I still have my sect. The people in my sect are very powerful. They will not let you go.”
“Your sect? I do not even know what sect you belong to. Why do not you tell me what your sect is?” A sharp glint flashed in Li Feng’s eyes. He wanted to find out what Li Wu’s sect was. If Li Wu revealed it now, that would be perfect.
“My sect is…” At this point, Li Wu suddenly stopped speaking.
“What is your sect? If your sect is something that scares me, perhaps I will let you go today.” Li Feng asked.
“Hmph, you do not need to know what my sect is. You only need to know that my sect is a very powerful existence. If you dare touch me, the people from my sect will not let you off.” Li Wu did not want to reveal his sect’s details, but his sect was special. Without permission from the sect’s higher-ups, he could not even mention the sect’s name to outsiders, or the consequences would be severe.
“Hahaha, you will not even say the name of your own sect, and you expect me to believe you? Li Wu, do you think I am a three-year-old child? Hmph, today I will cripple you and see what your so-called sect can do to me. I do not believe your sect would stand up for a useless cripple.” Li Feng sneered, but inwardly he became alert.
There were only two reasons why Li Wu refused to even mention his sect’s name. First, the sect Li Wu spoke of was entirely fictional. But Li Feng had fought against Elder Hong from Li Wu’s sect, so he knew the sect was real and quite powerful.
Second, due to some special reason, Li Wu was extremely wary and dared not even speak the sect’s name.
Since the first possibility was impossible, only the second remained. But Li Feng could not understand what exactly made Li Wu so afraid that he would not reveal his sect.
“If you do not believe me, you can try.” Li Wu snorted coldly.
“I really want to try.” Li Feng sneered, leaped forward in one step, and arrived beside Li Wu. Under Li Wu’s horrified gaze, he stomped down fiercely.
Puff!
“Ah!”
A miserable scream rang out. Li Wu sprayed a large mouthful of blood. His entire body was kicked flying by Li Feng, soaring more than ten metres through the air before crashing to the ground.
“You, you…”
“Li Wu, now I have touched you. I would like to see what your sect’s people can do to me.” Li Feng sneered.
“Li Feng, you will regret this.” Li Wu crawled up and glared coldly at Li Feng.
“Regret? The word regret does not exist in my, Li Feng’s, dictionary.” Li Feng sneered with disdain. “Li Wu, you are at least someone with status. Do you really think saying such meaningless words at this point is useful?”
“You, Li Feng, do you think you have me cornered?” Li Wu took a deep breath and looked at Li Feng with icy eyes.
“Oh? Do you still have some trick up your sleeve? Go ahead and use it. I would like to see what moves you have left.” Li Feng sneered.
“Li Feng, everything you have done to me today, I will return it to you tenfold, a hundredfold, a thousandfold.” Li Wu stared at Li Feng with venomous eyes and gritted his teeth.
After he finished speaking, a flash of light appeared in Li Wu’s hand. A talisman covered in dense runes appeared. His true qi surged into the talisman instantly. Immediately, extremely profound fluctuations emanated from it.
“What is this?” Li Feng’s pupils shrank. He had a bad premonition.
“Void Escape Talisman!” Li Wu sneered. This was his life-saving trump card. He had not wanted to use it unless it was absolutely necessary. But Li Wu never imagined he would have to use it at this moment.
The Void Escape Talisman, as the name suggested, was a treasure that allowed rapid escape. Unless someone was proficient in spatial laws or there was a formation blocking space around them, no one could stop the user from leaving.
“Want to leave? Not a chance.” Li Feng’s expression changed. He shouted loudly and slammed a fierce palm toward Li Wu.
“Too late.” Li Wu sneered. Light flashed, and his figure vanished from the spot.
Boom…
Li Feng’s massive palm gang struck the ground, leaving a huge palm print.
“Damn it, I did not expect Li Wu to have a Void Escape Talisman.” Li Feng’s face turned livid. Now that Li Wu had escaped, catching him again would be difficult.
“If I had known he was this strong, I should have crippled him at all costs earlier. Unfortunately, it is too late for regrets now.” Li Feng felt annoyed inwardly. Li Wu had Li Xiangyang’s support in the Li family, plus his mysterious sect and his own strength. Any one of these was a major threat.
“But so what if he left? Once I recover my full strength, killing him will be easy. I refuse to believe he has another Void Escape Talisman.”
With this thought, Li Feng left the lounge.
“Young Master, what happened?” Outside, Zhong Shuhui had been waiting anxiously. As soon as she saw Li Feng come out, she hurried over and asked.
“Li Wu escaped.” Li Feng replied.
“What? Li Wu escaped?” Zhong Shuhui’s expression changed.
“Yes, Li Wu had a Void Escape Talisman.” Li Feng nodded, briefly explained what had happened, then gave a bitter smile. “I was careless. I did not expect Li Wu to have a Void Escape Talisman.”
“Young Master, this is not a matter of carelessness. Unless you could kill Li Wu in an instant, as long as he has a Void Escape Talisman, he can escape whenever he wants.” Zhong Shuhui comforted him.
Li Feng nodded. Zhong Shuhui was right. Even if he had known about the Void Escape Talisman, he could not have prevented it, let alone when he did not know.
“However, our Li family does not have treasures like Void Escape Talismans. Even if we did, it would not end up in Li Wu’s hands. So the only possibility is that it came from his sect. But today Li Wu lost one Void Escape Talisman, which is still a gain for us.” Zhong Shuhui said.
Li Feng nodded. Items like Void Escape Talismans were no longer being made. They were relics from the past. Each one used meant one less. Even if Li Wu’s sect had more, they might not give another to him. Without a Void Escape Talisman, next time Li Wu would not be able to escape.
“By the way, Zhong Shuhui, has my mother and the others still not guessed anything about Li Wu’s sect?” Li Feng asked.
Zhong Shuhui shook her head. “I do not know if Madam has any guesses, but I have no information on this matter.”
Li Feng nodded. In such a situation today, Li Wu still refused to reveal his sect. Clearly, Li Wu’s sect was even more mysterious than he had imagined.
“But Young Master, now that Li Wu has escaped, what about our previous preparations…” Zhong Shuhui asked.
“Those preparations are still useful. But since Li Wu has run away, there is no need to use them on Li Xiangyang or Li Wu’s people anymore. I have another use for them. Zhong Shuhui, help me call Nangong Wu. Tell him to come to Tianya Pavilion tomorrow.” A sharp glint flashed in Li Feng’s eyes. Since Li Wu had escaped, he would now focus on selling the invitation slots for the King of Fighters Championship. Once that was done, the championship would officially begin.
However, before selling the slots, if he could snatch one or two invitation letters for the King of Fighters Championship…
Tianhai City, somewhere in a women’s bathhouse.
In the soaking pool, more than a dozen women were chatting and bathing. At that moment, with a splash in the centre of the pool, a person suddenly emerged.
This person was none other than Li Wu, who had used the Void Escape Talisman.
After surfacing, Li Wu heard voices nearby and asked, “Where is this place?”
“Ah, a man!”
“How did this man appear here?”
“Pervert!”
“Sisters, teach him a lesson.”
Bang, bang, bang…
The women flew into a rage. They grabbed nearby basins and other items and chased after Li Wu, beating him fiercely. Because he had used the Void Escape Talisman, his true qi was completely depleted. He was also injured by Li Feng earlier, so he appeared extremely weak. He was no match for these women at all. Not only was he beaten half to death, but he was also dragged to the police station on charges of peeping at women bathing.
On the way to the police station, Li Wu raised his bruised and swollen face and gritted his teeth. “Li Feng, this is all because of you. I will never let you go…”
