Yuxing Lake is a stronghold of the Hongmen, and it may also be where Blood Shadow is hiding. Li Feng chose this place as the second battlefield for ambushing Blood Shadow precisely because it is the intersection of Fengyuan Group, Yuxing Lake, and Tianya Pavilion.
However, since Yuxing Lake is Hongmen territory, Li Feng had very little intelligence about it. Even though Eagle Eye investigated exhaustively, it was to no avail. Now that someone from Yuxing Lake had delivered themselves to his door, Li Feng naturally would not hold back.
Therefore, Li Feng, who had originally intended to completely cripple this Tiger, calmed down.
“Yellow Hair, why haven’t you called my cousin yet?” Although Tiger was somewhat surprised that Li Feng was giving him the chance to call for help, with one hand already crippled, he knew he was no match for the young man before him. He could only wait for his cousin to arrive for a chance to turn defeat into victory and get revenge.
“Right away, I’ll call now.” Yellow Hair was the yellow-haired youth. He was staring at Li Feng in shock. He never imagined Li Feng would be so audacious as to cripple one of Tiger’s hands. After all, on this street, who dared to touch Tiger?
Yellow Hair remembered one time when some clueless kid accidentally splashed mineral water on Tiger. Tiger had crippled that kid’s arms and legs on the spot, then took his girlfriend to Tian Shang Ren Jian. Even now, that girlfriend was still working there as a hostess.
Now Li Feng had not only slapped Tiger first, but also crippled one of his hands. One could imagine the towering rage Tiger felt.
Yet Li Feng’s skills made Yellow Hair wary. He knew Tiger’s abilities very well. Since even Tiger had no power to fight back against Li Feng, even if all the underlings attacked together, they might not be his match.
But upon hearing Tiger tell him to call his cousin, Yellow Hair’s eyes lit up. Tiger was powerful on this street, but Tiger’s cousin was a big shot in the entire district. Tiger’s control of this street was inseparable from his cousin’s influence, because his cousin was from Yuxing Lake.
Anyone on the underworld knew what Yuxing Lake represented. Tiger’s cousin was a minor leader there, surrounded by experts. Dealing with Li Feng would be effortless for him.
With that thought, Yellow Hair did not hesitate and immediately took out his phone to make the call.
Li Feng sneered coldly and sat back down to continue eating.
From the moment Tiger and his men appeared until now, Zhong Shuhui had not spared them a single glance. Small fry like these were not worth her attention. Even if Li Feng did not act, she could easily handle them.
However, upon hearing Li Feng tell the other side to call for help, and that the help was from Yuxing Lake, Zhong Shuhui’s heart stirred. She looked up at Li Feng.
How could she not understand Li Feng’s intention? He was preparing to make a move against Yuxing Lake. This was indeed a good opportunity.
With that in mind, Zhong Shuhui took out her phone and sent a text message.
“Kid, just wait. Today I will definitely have someone chop off your arms and legs.” Supported by two underlings, Tiger sat on a chair, glaring venomously at Li Feng. The intense pain from his wrist nearly made him pass out. If not for waiting to properly teach Li Feng a lesson once his cousin arrived, he would not have held on.
“Talk more, and I will cripple your other hand.” Li Feng turned his head and gave Tiger a cold glance.
“You…” Tiger’s expression twisted in fury, but upon seeing Li Feng’s icy gaze, he jumped in fright. Remembering how Li Feng had crippled his hand before he could react, if Li Feng truly crippled the other one now, he would be finished.
“Boss, no need to get angry. He won’t be arrogant for long.” Yellow Hair quickly said beside Tiger.
“Yes, he won’t be arrogant for much longer.” Tiger’s eyes brightened. Once his cousin arrived, how could Li Feng still act arrogant? Back when Tianhai City’s three major underground forces existed, they dared not touch people from Yuxing Lake. That showed how formidable they were. He believed there was nothing in this world that people from Yuxing Lake could not handle.
Though Li Feng was skilled, it was only in fighting. Against people from Yuxing Lake, his skills were not enough.
Thinking of this, a cold smile curved Tiger’s lips.
Just wait and see how I deal with you. Not only will I deal with you, I will make you understand the consequences of offending me, Tiger. I will let you watch how I play with your woman.
Five minutes later, the sound of footsteps came from outside.
“Cousin is here.” Tiger’s eyes lit up. He first shot a venomous glance at Li Feng, then turned his gaze to the entrance.
“Huzi, what happened?” A middle-aged man walked in first and asked gravely upon seeing Tiger.
“Cousin, someone crippled my hand.” Tiger quickly said.
“What? Who is so bold as to cripple your hand?” The middle-aged man flew into a rage.
“Cousin, it’s this bastard.” Tiger pointed at Li Feng.
“Kid, who are you to dare cripple my cousin’s hand?” The middle-aged man’s gaze fell on Li Feng, anger flashing in his eyes.
“Are you from Yuxing Lake?” Li Feng looked up, his expression calm.
“Yes, I am from Yuxing Lake. What, kid, are you scared now?” The middle-aged man looked smug. With Yuxing Lake as his backing, anyone in Tianhai City who knew what it represented dared not offend its people.
The middle-aged man thought that once Li Feng learned he was from Yuxing Lake, he would tremble in fear and kneel to beg for mercy.
“Scared?” A disdainful cold smile appeared on Li Feng’s lips. He was the one suspected of killing Chen Junyi, son of Hongmen’s leader. Would he be afraid of a mere Hongmen member from a stronghold like Yuxing Lake? That was simply impossible.
“Kid, if you kneel and beg for mercy now, it might still be in time. You crippled one of my cousin’s hands, so I only want both of yours. Otherwise…” The middle-aged man sneered.
“Otherwise what?” Li Feng asked.
“Otherwise, today next year will be your death anniversary.” The middle-aged man said coldly.
“Cousin, that’s not enough.” Before Li Feng could speak, Tiger quickly interjected.
“Oh? How else do you want to deal with him, cousin?” The middle-aged man smiled and asked. This cousin was his dear aunt’s son, so he had to look after him.
“I want his woman.” Tiger’s gaze fell on Zhong Shuhui, desire flashing in his eyes. Zhong Shuhui was simply too beautiful. Though he had played with many women over the years, none were as stunning as her.
“His woman?” Only then did the middle-aged man notice Zhong Shuhui’s presence. The moment he saw her, his eyes lit up.
Beautiful. Truly too beautiful.
In all his years on the underworld, he had never seen such a beautiful woman. Even Tiger’s mother in her youth was not this stunning.
I must have her.
In an instant, the middle-aged man made up his mind.
As for Tiger?
Hmph. When he wanted a woman, did Tiger have any chance to compete?
“So what do you want to do, cousin?” The middle-aged man did not reveal his thoughts and asked calmly.
“I want to take his woman right in front of him.” Tiger glared venomously at Li Feng and said, “Kid, this is the price for crippling my hand.”
Whoosh!
A cold flash streaked past.
“Ah!”
A chopstick shot like lightning into Tiger’s chest. Tiger screamed and collapsed to the ground, blood flowing freely.
“Who exactly are you?” The middle-aged man’s pupils contracted, his expression changing. Shooting a chopstick into someone’s chest was not something an ordinary person could do.
In his many years at Yuxing Lake, he knew there were people in this world who were not ordinary. They could fly through the sky, vanish into the earth, and turn the clouds and rain. Such people were ancient martial artists.
Could the man before him be an ancient martial artist?
The moment this thought arose, the middle-aged man frightened himself.
If Li Feng truly was an ancient martial artist, then this was someone he absolutely could not afford to offend.
“You do not need to know who I am. The important thing is that you are from Yuxing Lake.” Li Feng stood up. Now that Tiger’s cousin had arrived, he did not want to waste more time here.
“Will you come with me willingly, or shall I take you?” Li Feng stepped in front of the middle-aged man and said.
“You know I am from Yuxing Lake, yet you still dare to touch me?” The middle-aged man’s expression shifted. If he still did not understand that Li Feng had been waiting for him, then all his years on the underworld would have been in vain.
“Yuxing Lake is merely one of Hongmen’s branches. Do you think I would be afraid?” Li Feng sneered.
“You… you actually know.” The middle-aged man’s face completely changed. Since Li Feng knew Yuxing Lake was a Hongmen branch and still acted this way, there were only two possibilities. First, he did not put Hongmen in his eyes at all, meaning his background was more powerful than Hongmen. Second, this Li Feng was an enemy of Hongmen.
Either way, he knew he was in serious trouble today. In both cases, he would not end well.
Of course, there was another possibility: that Li Feng was an ignorant fool who did not know the height of the heavens.
But that possibility was too small. In fact, it was impossible.
“Is that strange?” Li Feng sneered and said, “I think you should come with me obediently. Perhaps then you will have a chance to live. Otherwise, the only path left for you is death.”
“Who exactly are you?” As the middle-aged man asked, he signalled to his underlings.
“Heh, do you think any of you are leaving here today?”
As soon as Li Feng’s words fell, a group of people rushed in through the entrance of the food stall. They unleashed a barrage of punches and kicks on the middle-aged man’s underlings. In less than two minutes, all seven or eight men he had brought were knocked to the ground.
“Die.” Seeing his underlings taken down, the middle-aged man’s expression changed drastically. Noticing that Li Feng was not paying attention to him, he suddenly threw a fierce punch at Li Feng’s throat.
