Brother Lin Feng, Something's Wrong!

A streak of rosy light flew in from afar and landed atop a roof in the blink of an eye. Then Lin Feng, expressionless, appeared before the two of them.

However, their expressions were completely different. A flicker of delight passed through Mitter Tengshan's eyes, while Mo Cheng's pupils contracted sharply and his aura grew increasingly vicious.

"Just a little girl, huh?" Lin Feng's cold voice carried a bone-chilling chill. "So, Senior Mo Cheng, have you prepared yourself for the consequences of offending me?"

"Hahaha, Lin Feng, this old man respects you as a Fourth-grade Alchemist." As though he had already decided to go all out, Mo Cheng became utterly crazed. "But if you stand in the way of this old man's interests, I can tear you apart whenever I please. Hahaha..."

"Hahaha..." It was as though Lin Feng had heard some enormous joke. "Fine. Grand Elder Tengshan, please stand by and watch my back. I would like to personally see what this Executioner Mo is capable of."

"Th-this, Master Lin Feng..." Mitter Tengshan stood on the roof with an awkward expression, seemingly weighing how to persuade Lin Feng to take back those words.

"Hahaha... Listen to what this old man just heard. Our esteemed Eighteen Years Old Alchemist actually wants to personally make a move against this old man."

Mo Cheng, his face streaming with blood, seemed to have forgotten the pain in his body as he clutched his stomach and burst into laughter.

"When this old man was making a name for himself, you little brat might not even have been weaned yet! And you dare boast about dealing with this old man? Have you become stupid from refining pills?"

Bang...

Ignoring Mo Cheng's muttering, Lin Feng's Dou Qi surged. A Flying Dou Technique unfurled behind his back, and he immediately activated Lightning Steps, vanishing from where he stood.

Adamantine Finger...

A streak of light passed through Mo Cheng's body. After landing, Lin Feng turned slightly and murmured, "I never expected my strength to become this great after reaching the Three-star Dou Spirit level."

"Hahaha, putting on an act. You gave this old man quite a fright. But it was nothing more than..."

When Mo Cheng saw Lin Feng's figure flash past him, he had been completely unable to react. Now that he found himself unharmed, he laughed wildly as though he had narrowly escaped death.

Pfft...

Suddenly, Mo Cheng spat out a mouthful of blood. His pupils slowly began turning white.

"H-how is that possible? This old man is Executioner... Executioner Mo..."

Blood continuously gushed from Mo Cheng's body. Broken words came from his mouth, but in the end, he slowly fell from the roof.

Thus, Mo Cheng, the Dou Spirit powerhouse renowned across one region of the Jia Ma Empire as Executioner Mo, was defeated by Lin Feng in a single move.

Though there had been an element of a sneak attack, that was simply how the world of Dou Qi worked. So long as one could defeat the opponent, the process did not truly matter.

Under the perception of his Soul Force, Mo Cheng was completely dead. No remnant soul had been left behind.

Perhaps his soul had already begun to suffer damage when he started conducting human experiments on himself.

With the eruption of that move, his soul had immediately scattered and vanished.

Lin Feng slowly walked toward Mo Cheng's remaining corpse and began the long-missed one-stop service again, though his methods now seemed to have improved.

With a sweep of his Soul Force, he located the Storage Ring. With a beckoning gesture, he immediately drew it into his palm.

"Mr. Lin Feng, what is the meaning of this?"

At that moment, the sounds of people landing rang out, accompanied by an unpredictable, gloomy voice.

"You killed a guest elder of my Misty Cloud Sect without even asking the reason. If Mr. Lin Feng cannot give this old man a proper explanation today, then I fear you will have to accompany this old man on a trip up Misty Cloud Mountain!"

Yun Ling wore a dark expression. It seemed that if Lin Feng failed to provide an explanation, then even though this was the Alchemist Guild, Lin Feng's backer, he would have no choice but to employ certain methods.

As Lin Feng sent his Soul Force into the Storage Ring, the resistance he had expected did not appear. He curled his lips in disdain.

Yet after seeing the treasures inside, Lin Feng's opinion changed somewhat. Numerous Demonic Cores sat on a row of shelves within the Storage Ring.

Although most were only Rank 1 or Rank 2, there were six Rank 3 cores and three Rank 4 cores. Moreover, a cluster of irregular crystal entered Lin Feng's perception. "There is even a Rank 5 Demonic Core. What a generous gift from nature!"

As for the other things, such as magical beast corpses, Lin Feng intended to study whether they could be used to improve his physical strength.

Then a blood-red scroll appeared in Lin Feng's perception. "Body Replacement Technique." After giving it a faint glance, a flicker of flame flashed through Lin Feng's eyes and instantly burned it into ashes.

"Things like human experiments harm both others and oneself. Better to destroy it."

"Mr. Lin Feng, even if you are an elder of the Alchemist Guild, ignoring this old man so completely is far too arrogant." Yun Ling, who had been waiting for an explanation all this time, saw Lin Feng examining Mo Cheng's Storage Ring on his own and barely responding to him. He could not help flying into a rage.

"Does Grand Elder Yun Ling know what Mo Cheng did to my sister?"

At last, Lin Feng slowly raised his head. His expression was blank, but his tone was extremely hostile, as though he would attack at the slightest disagreement.

Seeing Lin Feng's expression, Yun Ling's momentum faltered. "Could it be that Mo Cheng truly did something?"

"Grand Elder Yun Ling, Mo Cheng was indeed at fault in this matter, although, ah..." Looking at Mo Cheng's corpse lying there, with even his Storage Ring floating in Lin Feng's hand, Mitter Tengshan's mouth twitched slightly. "Although Mr. Lin Feng's methods were indeed somewhat hasty."

Seeing that Yun Ling's expression had changed, Mitter Tengshan hurriedly continued.

"Does Grand Elder Yun Ling know that this Executioner Mo had secretly been carrying out inhuman human experiments? He even set his sights on Mr. Lin Feng's sister. This is simply outrageously audacious."

"Ah..." Upon hearing this, Yun Ling froze where he stood, unsure what to do.

It was absolutely impossible for Yun Ling to know nothing about Mo Cheng conducting human experiments. However, he had not expected Mo Cheng to dare set his sights on an elder of the Alchemist Guild, especially a genius whom even the Misty Cloud Sect did not wish to offend. "He deserves to die. Fool."

Moreover, Yun Ling secretly thought, "Lin Feng killed Mo Cheng so easily. His own Dou Qi cultivation must be far from low. This kind of genius now has the Alchemist Guild behind him. Since he cannot be dealt with secretly, it seems we can only turn hostility into friendship."

The thought flashed through his mind, and Yun Ling said aloud, "Hahaha, so that is what happened. It seems the Misty Cloud Sect has failed to recognize a person's true nature. I never expected one of our guest elders to be conducting such evil experiments, even causing trouble for Mr. Lin Feng because of it."

After pausing, Yun Ling saw a slight change in Lin Feng's expression and secretly thought, There is hope!

"Fortunately, Mr. Lin Feng killed this scoundrel. Otherwise, this old man would have brought him back to the sect and dealt with him according to its rules."

"For the trouble this has caused Mr. Lin Feng, this old man offers an apology on behalf of the Misty Cloud Sect." As Yun Ling spoke, he cupped his hands in salute. Yet when he saw Lin Feng's expression darken even further, the shrewd old Yun Ling immediately realized what was wrong.

He hurriedly slapped his forehead. "Look at this old man's memory. Here are the medicinal ingredients for refining a Fourth-grade pill, the Clear Spirit Pill. I only hope your sister won't let her mind fall into disarray."

After handing the batch of ingredients to Lin Feng, Yun Ling's face flashed with a trace of pained reluctance as he thought to himself.

Once I return to the sect, I must get reimbursed. Who ever heard of going out on official business and paying out of pocket? Damn Mo Cheng. If the sect refuses to reimburse this old man, then I can only make your Mo Family repay me!

Suddenly, a voice rang out, disrupting everyone's thoughts.

"Brother Lin Feng, this is bad! Qing Lin has fainted. No matter how I call her, she won't wake up."

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, even Lin Feng, who had remained as steady as a fisherman, could not help but panic. This had not been part of his plan.
