Chapter 279: 276 Zensei Encirclement

"Baobao, come here for a moment."

Lin Feng looked at the fake Zhang Chulan, who still needed some time to get here, and called Baobao over.

"Uncle?"

Baobao came to Lin Feng's side curiously, not knowing what he wanted.

"There'll be some trouble later. I'll strengthen you a little. This is everything about the Eight Wonders. You've only been using them instinctively before. Now, I'll give you all their detailed techniques and experience."

Lin Feng raised a finger and touched Feng Baobao's forehead. Vast torrents of information poured into her mind, yet she felt no pain.

A few seconds later, Lin Feng's finger left Feng Baobao's forehead.

Feng Baobao covered the spot on her forehead where Lin Feng had touched her. There seemed to be a new spark of intelligence in her formerly dull, indifferent eyes.

"Uncle, I'm done."

This time, Feng Baobao was finally no longer as emotionless as before.

She revealed an exceptionally beautiful smile. Her eyes curved like twin crescents, making her look especially endearing.

"He's here. Stay here with Queenie. I'll follow them and take a look."

Lin Feng turned toward Zhang Chulan, who had suddenly emerged from the pitch-black woods, and instructed Feng Baobao.

"Okay, Uncle. Be careful."

Feng Baobao nodded and said with concern.

Although she knew how strong Lin Feng was, Feng Baobao's gradually awakening emotions made her worry about her family like an ordinary person would.

Even knowing that Lin Feng would have no trouble handling it, she still could not help reminding him.

"It's fine."

Lin Feng smiled and rubbed Baobao's head, then looked toward Zhang Chulan before the woods and followed him.

Seeing Lin Feng take the bait, Zhang Chulan turned and ran back in the direction he had come from.

The two ran one after the other. The fake Zhang Chulan was quite fast, and he kept looking back.

Lin Feng was always following leisurely from a distance.

Whenever he sped up to test whether this guy could still keep up, Lin Feng would suddenly appear from behind another tree behind him.

For some reason, the fake Zhang Chulan clearly knew he was luring Lin Feng over.

Yet he felt as though Lin Feng were hunting him down.

That hair-raising feeling did not stop until he reached the agreed-upon ambush site.

The fake Zhang Chulan stopped running and turned back, only to find Lin Feng gone.

"What's going on?! Where is he?"

Slap!

"Here."

A hand suddenly landed on the fake Zhang Chulan's shoulder, startling him so badly that his aura immediately became unstable, revealing his true form.

"Argh!!!"

The fake Zhang Chulan's appearance slowly changed into someone else's. He turned toward the smiling Lin Feng with a horrified expression, his entire body turning cold.

When had this man gotten behind him?

"Interesting. You brat are pretty tough to have survived until now."

Lin Feng's hand resting on Yu Huadu's shoulder flickered slightly. A streak of dark-red blood light flashed through the night, and the superhuman who could transform into others died just like that.

"How is it you?!!"

An incredulous cry came from behind a tree. An old man with a hunched back walked out.

The old man wore a baseball cap, an old-fashioned white short-sleeved shirt, cropped pants, and a pair of old Beijing cloth shoes.

Though he was dressed like an ordinary old man, his dark, gloomy eyes were chilling to look at.

Within his pitch-black eye sockets were only dim white pupils, making him look extremely eerie.

Xia Liuqing stared at Lin Feng in disbelief, his strange eyes full of terror.

"Old Xia! You know this guy?"

Then, another old man's voice sounded out.

Compared to Xia Liuqing's voice, this old man sounded more like a hoarse drake, unpleasant to hear.

Seven or eight people slowly emerged from the woods around Lin Feng. The old man with the drake-like voice was among them, dressed in army-green workwear and wearing the same old Beijing cloth shoes.

"..."

Xia Liuqing did not answer Yuan Tao. His strange eyes watched Lin Feng quietly. After a long while, he slowly said, "Everyone, I'm withdrawing from this operation. Brother Baren, let's go."

"!!!"

The moment Xia Liuqing said that, everyone around them was shocked.

"Xia Liuqing! What do you mean by this?! Tongtian Lu, Spirit Summoning, and even Feng Hou Qimen are all on this guy. What? You don't want them anymore?!!"

Yuan Tao questioned Xia Liuqing impatiently. After finally finding an opportunity to obtain the Eight Wonders, he did not want to give up.

"If you're tired of living, you can stay."

Xia Liuqing turned around, and his seemingly frail back gave that reply in an indifferent voice.

"Jin Feng'er is alive too. If you want to see her, this is my number."

Then Xia Liuqing flicked out a slip of paper. It twisted through the air like a slithering little snake before drifting into Lin Feng's palm.

"The foreigner stays."

Lin Feng looked at Baren beside Xia Liuqing with an amused expression and spoke in a tone that allowed no argument.

Xia Liuqing paused, then left without saying a word.

"Old Xia?"

Seeing Xia Liuqing silently walk away, Baren's keen sixth sense also detected that something was wrong.

He called out, but Xia Liuqing ignored him. Baren gripped his dagger and looked at Lin Feng, his gaze flickering before he steadied himself.

There was a trace of unwillingness in his eyes. Faced with a mysterious expert like Lin Feng, his natural adventurous spirit made him unable to resist attacking.

Without any warning, Baren shot forward. His whole body turned into a blurry afterimage, and in the blink of an eye, he was behind Lin Feng.

"He attacked?!!!"

Seeing Baren attack without warning, Yuan Tao, impatient by nature, could no longer hold back either.

With a flick of his hand, a bead shining with deep-blue light shot toward Lin Feng in an instant.

Lin Feng snorted coldly. His body abruptly twisted toward the rear in an eerie motion, one hand reaching into the air before him at an imperceptible speed.

Smack!!!

Only after the heavy sound rang out did everyone see that Baren had been tightly seized by the throat by Lin Feng. His body trembled slightly, and the hands that had tried to struggle fell limply.

Bang!!!

At the same time, Yuan Tao's bead struck Lin Feng's temple, only to be forcibly bounced away.

Lin Feng's head did not move in the slightest.

"Fuck!!"

Seeing his Chiwen Pearl bounced away by Lin Feng's head, Yuan Tao blurted out a curse in shock.

"Dead?"

Then he saw Baren hanging silently from Lin Feng's grip around his throat, and terror rose in his heart.

"Six Treasures."

A magnificent light bloomed from Lin Feng's hand. A dense aura immediately rose from Baren's body and poured continuously into Lin Feng as if being sucked away.

Baren was not dead. Lin Feng still needed him to find Ruan Feng himself and erase the Six Treasures from Ruan Feng as well.
