Background & History
Lin Feng was originally a diligent young man from the 21st century who had been working through the night on his thesis. He awoke in the Great Xia Dynasty as an unpaid intern constable in Qingyang County, then immediately became trapped at the Mass Grave while pursuing the bandit One-Eyed Dragon with Old Wang. Cornered by a Living Corpse, he activated the Critical Strike System and used it to perfect the only martial skill he knew, the Basic Constable Saber Technique. 1 2
After beheading the Living Corpse, Lin Feng became a formal constable. He rapidly established himself in Qingyang County by killing Black Tiger Gang hall master Liu Mazi, resolving the Water Ghost case, defeating Zhao Hu, and eventually eliminating the Black Tiger Gang entirely. County Magistrate Zhao Dehai promoted him to captain, while the corrupt Li Gang was arrested for collusion with bandits and other crimes. 2 4 6 7 12
Lin Feng infiltrated Steward Zhang’s banquet after suspecting a Moon Worship Cult trap. He rescued Huang Fugui from the underground demon den, slaughtered the cultists and their Three-Eyed Demon Ape, then burned the chamber and its evidence to leave no witnesses. The case drew the attention of the Nan Yan Commandery Demon Suppression Division. 13 14 15
Appearance
Lin Feng is a handsome nineteen-year-old man whose composed, deep eyes make him appear unusually experienced for his age. Chu Mengxi notes that he lacks the impulsive sharpness expected of a young prodigy, instead carrying an almost mist-shrouded calm. 15 23
- Initially wore the Qingyang County constable uniform while serving as a county officer. 14
- Received Demon Suppression Division combat attire upon becoming an Iron Token Demon Slayer. 17
- His presence becomes markedly more oppressive as his cultivation advances, particularly after reaching the Half-step Dan Yuan Realm. 42
Personality
Lin Feng is intensely strength-driven and treats demon-slaying missions as opportunities to accumulate Crit Points. He prefers direct action over prolonged negotiation, believing that a problem solvable with one strike does not require a second. 4 29
He is calm under pressure, neither deferential to authority nor easily provoked by threats. This composure lets him face the Demon Suppression Division, hostile cultivators, and powerful demons without exposing the full extent of his abilities. 15 18 45
Lin Feng is also ruthless and pragmatic. He killed the Skin-Peeling Demon despite knowing that its death would also kill Li Tianyu, and he eliminated assassins targeting Li Tianhe rather than interrogating them. 40 49 However, he considers himself bound by a personal standard: his blade should kill only demons and people who deserve it. 42
Romance and status do not interest him. He rejects Ling Yue’er’s pursuit because he is focused on becoming strong enough to kill an Immortal on Land with one strike. 41
Abilities & Skills
Critical Strike System
Lin Feng possesses a system visible only to him that converts Crit Points into instant insight and cultivation progress. It began with a 2× critical-hit multiplier and 100 Crit Points. 1 3
- Can perfect martial skills or rapidly improve cultivation by consuming Crit Points. 2 3
- Gains Crit Points and increases his multiplier through kills; defeating the Water Ghost raised his multiplier to 3×. 6
- Reached a 135× multiplier with 102,350 Crit Points while at the Half-step Dan Yuan Realm. 50
- His advancement is limited by available Crit Points, forcing him to seek demon-slaying missions and dangerous opponents. 29 43
Cultivation Arts
Lin Feng has successively used several cultivation methods, replacing weaker techniques as his realm rose.
- Qi Guiding Art — Basic county-yamen cultivation method that carried him through the Body Tempering Realm. 3 12

- Blazing Heaven Sun Art — Advanced art used to reach the True Qi Realm; perfected by Chapter 36. 28 36
- Nine Yang Limitless Art — His current cultivation art; at beginner level, it brought him to the Half-step Dan Yuan Realm. 41 42
Saber Techniques
Lin Feng’s primary combat style is saber-based, combining overwhelming cultivation with techniques refined through the System.
- Basic Constable Saber Technique — Perfected instantly at the Mass Grave; its three basic moves are Mountain Splitting Chop, Army Sweeping Slash, and White Rainbow Piercing Sun. 1 2
- Seven Fiends Saber Technique — A seven-stance Demon Suppression Division killing art, perfected by the time he reached Meridian Opening Realm Ninth Level. 17 21
- Nine Tribulations Thunder Slash — A lightning-infused saber art perfected during his mission spree; its ninth form, wielded through an ice sword, annihilated the Old Demon of Black Wind with a 110× critical hit. 29 34
- Abyssal Path Three Slashes — Advanced saber art learned at beginner level; used alongside his mobility technique to defeat and kill Li Bantian, a third-level Dan Yuan Realm cultivator. 36 45 46
Movement Techniques
- Flowing Wind Steps — Perfected after defeating Zhao Hu; allows silent, phantom-like movement and rapid evasions. 7
- Phantom Flowing Light Steps — Perfected by Chapter 36; can create hundreds of lifelike phantoms carrying traces of Lin Feng’s True Qi. 28 36
- Treading Snow Without Trace — Advanced movement art at beginner level that lets him shift between reality and illusion; he used it to evade Li Bantian’s Dan Yuan palm strike. 36 45
Equipment / Weapons / Items
- Killing Blade — A divine weapon acquired after Lin Feng became a Bronze Token Demon Slayer; used in his confrontation with Li Bantian. 36 45
- Hundred Refined Steel Blade — His earlier saber, used during the Qingyang County and Black Wind City incidents; it broke while fighting the Old Demon of Black Wind. 14 33
- Ice sword formed from the Ice Heart Soul — A temporary weapon created from Chu Mengxi’s Ice Heart Soul, used to execute the ninth form of Nine Tribulations Thunder Slash. 34
- Bronze Token — Proof of his rank within the Demon Suppression Division. 35
Relationships
- Huang Fugui — Weasel demon subordinate, scout, informant, and beneficiary of Lin Feng’s demon cores. Lin Feng rescued him from the Moon Worship Cult and later received special permission to keep him despite Division rules. 14 18 29 42
- Chu Mengxi — Bronze Token Demon Slayer who recruited Lin Feng into the Demon Suppression Division. Their initially tense relationship became mutual respect after Lin Feng saved her from the Blood Fiend Asura and later rescued her from Black Wind City. 16 22 34
- Zhao Tie and Li Rui — Fellow Demon Slayers initially hostile toward Lin Feng; after he saved Qingyang County, both recognized him as a sworn brother and later became devoted supporters. 16 22 47
- Silver Token Manager — Lin Feng’s superior and political ally. The Manager approved Huang Fugui’s continued service, supported Lin Feng against the Li Family, and appointed him acting manager. 42 45 47
- Ling Yue’er — City Lord Ling Xiaotian’s daughter. She becomes infatuated with Lin Feng after the Skin-Peeling Demon case, while Lin Feng rejects her advances and secretly investigates her possible involvement in a larger conspiracy. 40 41 43
- Li Gang — Former Qingyang County constable captain who stole most of Lin Feng’s reward money and repeatedly attempted to suppress him. Li Gang was later arrested after Lin Feng destroyed the Black Tiger Gang. 2 12
- Li Bantian — Li Family patriarch who accused Lin Feng of killing Li Tianyu and attempted to attack him. Lin Feng killed him with three strikes. 44 46
