When Flender, Liu Erlong, and Yu Xiaogang stopped in front of Lin Feng's table, Flender and Liu Erlong looked ready for a fight. Yu Xiaogang was breaking out in a cold sweat.
Flender stared at Lin Feng, his eyes practically turning into Gold Soul Coins.
"Lin Feng, you're the one who bullied Xiaogang, aren't you? You humiliated him at every turn and stole the woman he loved. You look decent enough, so why are you so rotten?"
"Bah! We're going to capture you today and turn you in to Spirit Hall for the reward."
Liu Erlong looked at the fairy-like Ah Yin and advised her:
"Miss, he's a lecher and a pervert. Don't believe a word he says. He once violated his own senior sister. He's worse than a beast."
"When we capture him, stay back so you don't get caught in the crossfire."
Ah Yin's gentle face turned icy, but Liu Erlong kept talking.
She was insulting Ah Yin's lover right in front of her.
This woman was asking to die.
Flender and Liu Erlong had dragged Yu Xiaogang into this confrontation. He hardly dared meet Lin Feng's faintly amused gaze.
But when he thought of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill the three of them shared, his confidence returned.
Lin Feng might be powerful, but their Martial Soul Fusion Skill was no joke.
Since mastering it, they had yet to meet anyone who could withstand even one exchange.
Yu Xiaogang clasped his hands behind his back, putting on an air of magnanimity.
"Lin Feng, apologize to me today and I'll let this go. Otherwise, think carefully about the consequences."
Lin Feng took a bite of greens and glanced sideways at Yu Xiaogang.
"Yu Xiaogang, I haven't settled what happened in Spirit City with you yet, and here you are, delivering yourself to me."
"Get on your knees and knock your head against the floor 108 times. Then I might spare your miserable life."
"And those two beside you—if you want them to live, you'd better have them kneel and apologize for what they just said."
Anger surged through Yu Xiaogang, burning away the last of his fear.
Do you still think you're the Pope's disciple, the Holy Son of Spirit Hall?
You're nothing but a stray dog fleeing Spirit Hall's pursuit, living every day in terror.
And you still dare throw your weight around in front of me? I'm not the weakling I used to be!
"Lin Feng, fortunes change! Never look down on a young man just because he's poor!"
"I'll repay you a hundredfold today for every humiliation you dealt me in Spirit City."
"I'm not the man I was!"
"Flender, Erlong! Sun and Moon Radiance, Golden Rotation!"
Flender and Liu Erlong rallied. They quickly formed a triangle, golden light bursting from each of them.
All Flender could see now was money.
Liu Erlong wanted to vent Yu Xiaogang's anger for him.
Soul Rings rose around them one after another.
Flender and Liu Erlong each had two yellow and two purple Soul Rings. Both were Soul Ancestors.
Yu Xiaogang raised a hand, summoning a fat, big-eared Purple-Skinned Pig before him.
The pig grunted twice, looking absurdly smug.
Soul Rings streamed into the Purple-Skinned Pig, and its body began to change.
Horns sprouted from its head, and scales spread across its body.
In the blink of an eye, it became an enormous purple-gold dragon.
The dragon's imposing aura filled the entire inn. The other guests barely dared breathe.
Someone exclaimed under their breath, "It's the Golden Iron Triangle! They've been making a name for themselves across the continent!"
Yu Xiaogang's face twisted. He could feel that his Luo Sanpao was more powerful than ever.
"Lin Feng, die!"
"Earth-Shattering Luo Sanpao!"
Lin Feng frowned. If Luo Sanpao let loose that foul blast, this meal would be ruined.
He merely reached out and grasped. Space warped in layer upon layer around the purple-gold dragon, which had been twisting through the air in all its glory.
Folded space tore it into countless pieces.
Lin Feng was a demigod now.
He stood, and pressure like a collapsing sky crushed down on Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and Liu Erlong.
All three were flattened to the floor.
Yu Xiaogang's eyes bulged. He lay there like a stranded fish, his voice hoarse. "Impossible. That's impossible!"
"Where did you get power like that?"
"If you were this strong, why did Spirit Hall force you to flee overseas?"
Lin Feng walked toward him, one step at a time.
"Yu Xiaogang, tell me: did I ever humiliate you? And you claim I stole the woman you loved? Bibi Dong and I were engaged at the time. You knew that, yet you still went after her."
"Bibi Dong is no good person, and neither are you."
Yu Xiaogang trembled as though two blades were pressed against his neck. He broke down sobbing, and the smell of urine rose from beneath him.
"Lin Feng, I was wrong. It was all my fault."
"Please, have mercy. Don't kill me."
Yu Xiaogang finally understood the situation. His composure shattered, and he begged through tears and snot.
"Bibi Dong is a whore. She used me to dump you, then dumped me too. We were both just her pawns."
"I'm the son of Yu Yuanzhen of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Spare me, and my father will give you anything you want."
Lin Feng raised a finger. "You're not sorry for what you did. You're sorry you're about to die."
"Yu Xiaogang, I don't hate you. You aren't worth hating. But you disgust me. I never imagined anyone on the Douluo Continent could be as repulsive as you."
"You've sickened me more than once. It's too late to apologize now..."
With that, Lin Feng pointed his finger.
Crack! A burst of force punched through Yu Xiaogang's back and into his heart.
Pain shot through Yu Xiaogang. He coughed up blood, his gaze slowly losing focus, but he kept mumbling.
"I was wrong. I really was wrong..."
Flender went numb. The principle he had lived by—that only mediocrities were afraid to cause trouble—took a blow unlike any before.
So provoking someone beyond his ability to handle really could get him killed.
"Ahhh! Sir, spare me! I'll kowtow to you! Please be generous—treat me like a fart and let me go!"
Lin Feng gave him a cold glance and pointed a finger, just as he had before.
Crack! A bloody hole appeared in Flender's forehead. Blood gushed out, mixed with bits of brain.
"Only mediocrities are afraid to cause trouble, is that it? You certainly had plenty to say a moment ago..."
Liu Erlong was the only member of the Golden Iron Triangle left. She sat stunned, her body trembling. Her eyes stared blankly ahead, and though her red lips parted, no sound came out.
Lin Feng's gaze was just as cold when he turned to her.
He showed no mercy simply because she was a woman.
He pointed a finger again, killing Liu Erlong in the prime of her life.
"Ah Yin, what a way to spoil a meal. I can't eat with three corpses beside us. Come on, let's go somewhere else."
As he spoke, Lin Feng took out a Gold Soul Coin and tossed it onto the table.
