“What do you mean?”
Murong Kang was stunned. A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. Could Li Feng have known he was coming?
Impossible.
He immediately dismissed the thought. Li Feng had not seen him since arriving at Liren Club. How could he know? Unless Jiang Yong had told him, but Jiang Yong was under his surveillance and could not have done so.
“I wanted to see what tricks you, Murong Kang, were planning to play. But now I am very disappointed. I had thought you had some real skills. It seems I overestimated you.” Li Feng said with a cold laugh.
“Li Feng, stop pretending here. The humiliation you gave me last time, today I will return it to you twofold.” Murong Kang said with a cold laugh. He believed Li Feng was just putting on a brave front. He refused to accept that an ancient martial artist like Li Feng would feel nothing after being poisoned with Power-Dissolving Powder.
“Is that so? It seems you have come for revenge.” A disdainful smile appeared on Li Feng’s lips.
“Indeed, I have come for revenge.” Murong Kang nodded, then waved his hand to dismiss the several hostesses in the room.
“I did not expect you, Murong Kang, to have such nerve. It seems the lesson I gave you last time was not enough. But rest assured, today I will certainly give you a profound memory.” Li Feng said with a cold laugh.
“Haha.”
Murong Kang burst into loud laughter upon hearing this. He laughed for a good while before saying, “Teach me a lesson? Li Feng, do you have the strength for that?”
“Who says I do not…” Li Feng gave a cold laugh and was about to stand up when suddenly his entire body went limp. He slumped back onto the sofa.
“Li Feng, do you feel as if you have no strength left in your body, not even enough to stand? Do you feel you cannot summon your true qi?” Seeing Li Feng’s reaction, Murong Kang laughed triumphantly.
“You did this?” Li Feng looked coldly at Murong Kang. Intense anger burned in his eyes.
“Indeed, it was me.” Murong Kang nodded frankly. His gaze fell on Li Feng as he said with a cold laugh, “I know your martial skills are exceptional. If we fought, I would certainly not be your match. But now that you have been poisoned with Power-Dissolving Powder, you are worse than an ordinary person.”
“Power-Dissolving Powder?” Li Feng was stunned. He had never heard of Power-Dissolving Powder. He had thought Murong Kang had used something like Ten Fragrances Soft Tendon Powder.
“So you do not even know what Power-Dissolving Powder is.” A cold smile played on Murong Kang’s lips. In his view, the so-called eight top families had long fallen behind the times. Especially in recent decades, with the development of technology, the eight great families had focused only on pursuing material comforts. They no longer even knew the most basic common knowledge for ancient martial artists.
Li Feng, the eldest young master of the Li family, did not even know about a forbidden drug like Power-Dissolving Powder. That said it all.
A triumphant, sinister smile appeared on Murong Kang’s face as he slowly approached Li Feng.
Earlier, Murong Kang had kept his distance from Li Feng out of fear that the powder’s effects had not yet taken hold. Li Feng was so formidable that if they fought, he would stand no chance.
“Li Feng, do you know what Power-Dissolving Powder is?” Murong Kang said smugly.
Li Feng’s current expression was proof enough that he had been affected. A person poisoned with Power-Dissolving Powder posed no threat to him. After all, he was a fourth-level Postnatal ancient martial artist.
“Speak.” Li Feng stared coldly at Murong Kang, his face filled with anger and despair.
“Heh heh, then I will satisfy your curiosity. The Power-Dissolving Powder you have been poisoned with is a forbidden drug. It not only completely abolishes your martial arts but also makes walking extremely difficult for you. Li Feng, congratulations. From now on, you are a cripple. You will spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair.” Murong Kang said with a triumphant cold laugh.
“You are despicable.” Li Feng’s eyes blazed with fury.
“Despicable? Haha, Li Feng, this is the price for offending me. Humph, Ge Ying is the woman I have set my sights on. You actually dared to harbour designs on her. Let me tell you, that leaves you only one path: death.” Murong Kang laughed loudly.
“You have repeatedly targeted me just for this?” Li Feng asked coldly.
“Indeed. Ge Ying is the woman I, Murong Kang, have chosen. No one is allowed to covet her, especially not you, Li Feng. Anyone who sets their sights on my woman, I will make them prefer death over life.” Murong Kang said through gritted teeth.
“Your woman? Ge Ying seems to have no relation to you.” Li Feng said.
“Not now, but she will in the future. Any woman I, Murong Kang, set my sights on cannot escape my grasp.” Murong Kang said with a cold laugh.
“That may not be certain. Ge Ying is Ge Feng’s sister. She is from the Ge family.” Li Feng said with a cold laugh.
“The Ge family?” Murong Kang smiled. “Li Feng, do you understand the Ge family? Do you believe that if I, Murong Kang, formally propose marriage, the Ge family would not deliver Ge Ying to me with both hands?”
Li Feng fell silent. Between families, only interests existed. Ideas like free love were nonsense. Just like him and Hu Yuanyuan, they had come together because of the interests of two families. Although they had now accepted each other, at its core it was a political marriage.
So if Murong Kang had the Murong family propose to the Ge family, for the sake of interests, the Ge family might indeed agree.
“As for Ge Feng? What does it matter if he agrees or not? Ge Ying’s fate is not for him to decide. Moreover, once he becomes my brother-in-law, the only thing he can do is accept the reality.” Murong Kang said smugly.
“You have certainly calculated well.” Li Feng said with a cold laugh.
“As for you, Li Feng, to be honest, even if you were with Ge Ying, I would not care, because you are a eunuch.” Murong Kang said.
“You are calling me a eunuch?” Li Feng’s gaze turned icy.
“Is it not true? Otherwise, how could your strength be so great?” Murong Kang said with a cold laugh. “But I have to say, Li Feng, you are an idiot. To gain strength, you actually made yourself a eunuch.”
“Murong Kang, you simply believe that because my strength surpasses yours, I must have cultivated something like the Sunflower Manual?” Li Feng finally understood what Murong Kang meant.
“Is it not? Otherwise, how could your strength be so immense? Moreover, you have been in this room for half an hour already. If you were not a eunuch, faced with four exquisite beauties, how could you remain unmoved and not even undress them?” Murong Kang said with a cold laugh.
“Murong Kang, others have called me a eunuch before. Do you know how I responded to them?” Li Feng said with a cold laugh. Murong Kang claiming his great strength came from cultivating the Sunflower Manual was truly incomprehensible.
“Oh? Then tell me, how did you respond?” Murong Kang asked with interest.
“Murong Kang, your mother is still alive, right?”
“Li Feng, what did you say?” A glint flashed in Murong Kang’s eyes.
“Good that your mother is still alive. Whether I am a eunuch or not, send your mother over to test it, and we will know.” Li Feng said coldly.
“Li Feng, you are courting death. Even facing death, you remain so arrogant.” A sharp glint flashed in Murong Kang’s eyes.
“You want to know if I am a eunuch, do you not? This is the best way. If you, Murong Kang, were a woman, you could test it yourself. Unfortunately, you are not. I have no interest in men. Even if you went to Thailand for surgery right now, I would still have no interest in you.” Li Feng said with a cold laugh.
“You…” A cold light flashed in Murong Kang’s eyes. “Li Feng, you have thoroughly enraged me. I will make you understand the price of enraging me.”
“The price? I would certainly like to know what price I will pay.” Li Feng said coldly.
“I will make you prefer death over life.” Murong Kang said with a ferocious expression, cold light flickering in his eyes.
“Arrogant.”
“Haha, well said. I am arrogant because I have the capital to be arrogant. You, Li Feng, are different. In my eyes, you have no capital for arrogance.”
“If I had known, that day at the seaside I would not have let you off.” Li Feng said coldly.
“True. If you had not shown mercy that day, you would not be here today. Rest assured, in a moment I will properly thank you for your mercy.” Murong Kang said with a ferocious expression.
That night at the seaside, he and Jiang Yong had been defeated by Li Feng in a single move. In Murong Kang’s view, this was an unprecedented humiliation. His martial talent was exceptional. From childhood, his cultivation speed had been rapid. He had always been among the best of his peers.
Murong Kang had always believed that, even if he was not the top among his generation, he could easily rank in the top three. He had not expected that upon arriving in Tianhai City and meeting Ge Ying, he would discover she had already reached the peak of the fourth Postnatal level. That alone had shocked him enough. But then there was this even more monstrous Li Feng, who had defeated both him and Jiang Yong in one move.
Murong Kang knew his own strength well. He understood that even a fifth-level Postnatal martial artist could not defeat him in one move. Moreover, Jiang Yong had been at his side that time. Though Jiang Yong’s strength was not great, he was at least mid-third-level Postnatal.
Yet Li Feng had defeated both of them in a single move. This proved that Li Feng’s strength was far beyond fifth-level Postnatal. In Murong Kang’s estimation, Li Feng was at least sixth-level Postnatal.
Li Feng was about the same age as him. With his outstanding talent and the vast resources of his family, he had only reached early fourth-level Postnatal. Yet this Li Feng was at least sixth-level. This filled him with disbelief and intense jealousy.
So even without the matter of Ge Ying, he would not have let Li Feng off. He absolutely could not allow anyone of his generation to surpass him in strength. Even if Li Feng had cultivated something like the Sunflower Manual, it was the same.
“Is that so? Then how will you thank me?” Li Feng asked.
“I will crush your bones one by one.” Murong Kang said as he reached out to grab Li Feng, a cruel smile in his eyes.
“Crushing bones one by one is not a bad idea.” Li Feng gave a strange smile and suddenly sat up straight.
