The four village bullies looked at Lin Feng.
They did not believe Lin Feng would resist at all.
Once a person had been bullied into submission, it became hard for them to find the courage to resist again.
Soon, Lin Gou Niao would surely say he was willing to lend them grain and even carry it home for the four of them.
The only question was whether he would bring his wife along.
This time, they had to make Lin Gou Niao bring his wife. Once they reached their own courtyard, they would have their way with her.
It was the first time the four of them had entertained such vile thoughts.
Lin Feng was simply too cowardly.
When no one resisted, the abusers only grew worse, escalating without end.
Just as everyone waited for Lin Feng's reply.
Lin Feng set his fish basket and scoop net aside, slowly walked up to Feng Laoda, and raised a foot to kick him in the chest.
Lin Feng's kick was incredibly heavy.
With a crack, Feng Laoda flew out like a cannonball, knocking down Feng Lao'er and Feng Laosan behind him.
He then crashed into the crowd at the courtyard entrance, bowling over four or five villagers who had come to watch the show.
Before Feng Laosi could react, Lin Feng spun around and swung his leg, kicking him squarely in the face.
Feng Laosi also flew away, spitting out a mouthful of foul blood and two large teeth.
Lin Feng had already assessed them before making his move.
The four Feng brothers had also learned the Mad Demon Staff Technique, but none had even entered the gate. Their strength was roughly on par with the three bandits who had kidnapped him.
But Lin Feng was no longer yesterday's Lin Feng.
Yesterday, his Beast Hunting Fist had only reached minor mastery. Today, it had reached major mastery. Taking on four village bullies was no challenge at all.
After just two strikes, Feng Laoda and Feng Laosi had lost the ability to fight back.
Feng Lao'er had only just sat up from the ground when Lin Feng walked over and gave him a kick.
Another kick to the head, knocking out two teeth.
Seeing his three brothers down, Feng Laosan tried to run out of the courtyard.
Lin Feng pounced on him and pinned him beneath him, slapping him left and right with more than a dozen resounding smacks.
Feng Laosan's face was covered in blood, his head buzzing. It soon swelled into a pig's head.
The villagers who had been knocked down wanted to curse Lin Feng for having no public decency and injuring them by mistake.
But at the sight of Lin Feng's ferocious bearing, they all shut their mouths.
As Lin Feng used the Beast Hunting Fist, his entire body resembled a savage beast, radiating a heavy, vicious aura. One look from him was enough to frighten off grown adults.
Lin Feng made a few more moves, beating the four village bullies until they could no longer resist.
The villagers looked at one another, none of them understanding what had happened.
How had Lin Feng, who had been as cowardly as a dog, suddenly become so formidable?
It was not until Lin Feng dragged the four village bullies into the courtyard and laid them out in a row.
That everyone finally came back to their senses.
The villagers began cheering loudly.
"Brother Feng, well done! Someone should have dealt with these village bullies long ago."
"Brother Feng, you've really helped the villagers of Xiaohe Village vent their anger."
Lin Feng's mother stood with her mouth agape, her eyes filled with disbelief. After my son was enlightened by the Supreme One, he actually became this powerful.
A dazzling light suddenly burst from Zhou Chunlan's dull eyes, and a captivating smile appeared on her face.
At first, the children were somewhat frightened by such a discordant scene, but they soon became excited.
They jumped up and down, shouting, "Daddy is amazing!"
The listless Lin Hu straightened up when he saw this.
With so many people watching, Lin Feng could not kill them.
Murdering someone in broad daylight with so many witnesses—the yamen would certainly not turn a blind eye.
The four men had been beaten senselessly, their bodies twisting on the ground.
Feng Laoda's breastbone had been cracked by the kick. Clutching his chest, he barely managed to sit up.
Lin Feng walked over, crouched in front of him, and stared at Feng Laoda with eyes like a beast's. "What did you call me just now?"
At the sight of Lin Feng's blood-red eyes, Feng Laoda's body trembled involuntarily.
"N-Nothing."
Smack! Lin Feng slapped Feng Laoda across the face, making blood gush from his nostrils.
"Do you think I'm deaf?"
Feng Laoda hurriedly dropped to his knees. "Big Brother, if we'd known you were this powerful, how would we have dared come to borrow grain?
"We brothers failed to recognize Mount Tai.
"Please, Big Brother, let us go as if we were nothing but a fart."
Smack! Lin Feng slapped Feng Laoda again.
"You came to our home to steal grain, and you beat my mother and my brother too.
"You think you can leave without paying a price?"
Feng Laoda hurriedly argued, "Big Brother, we didn't beat your mother."
Lin Feng looked toward his mother.
Mother Lin nodded, indicating that she had not been beaten.
Smack! Lin Feng gave Feng Laoda another resounding slap.
Feng Laoda was a little dazed. No matter what he said, he was getting hit.
"You dog, my brother isn't someone you can beat whenever you feel like it."
After cursing Feng Laoda, Lin Feng beckoned to Lin Hu.
"Huzi, hit them back exactly the way they hit you just now."
Already eager to try, Lin Hu broke free from his mother's hand, grabbed a wooden stick from the ground, and rushed forward.
Bang, bang, bang! Ow, ow!
Lin Hu mercilessly thrashed the four village bullies, striking them over the head and face.
"Aren't you tough? Four of you against one of me? Lord Hu will make you pay it back tenfold."
The four men rolled around on the ground, continually begging for mercy.
"Brother Huzi, we were wrong. You're a great man with a great heart, please spare us."
"Brother Huzi, stop! If you keep hitting us, someone's going to die."
Lin Hu did not stop until he had beaten them for a full five minutes.
He was exhausted and panting, supporting himself with the wooden stick, yet he felt incomparably satisfied inside.
He looked at Lin Feng and grinned foolishly.
Not a single part of the four village bullies was uninjured. They only felt pain everywhere in their bodies.
Lying on the ground, Feng Laosan said, "Big Brother, isn't this enough? Are you really planning to kill someone in broad daylight?"
Lin Feng walked over to Feng Laosan.
Slap, slap, slap! A barrage of slaps nearly burst his pig head apart.
"Serves you right for that filthy mouth. You think you're the only one with a mouth?"
Wuu, wuu, wuu. Feng Laosan had been slapped so badly that he could not even speak.
Lin Feng looked at Feng Laoda. "You've borrowed so much grain from me and never once paid it back.
"Shouldn't you return some of it this time?"
Feng Laoda knelt on the ground and looked up. "We'll return it, we'll return it. Let us go back, and we'll bring the grain over."
"I wouldn't dare eat your family's grain.
"Turn the grain into silver instead. Hand over five taels of silver, and you brothers can leave.
"Otherwise, even if it means taking a beating from the paddle, I'll send you to the yamen."
"Five taels of silver?"
Five taels of silver was no small sum for villagers.
"What? You think that's too much? Can you even count how much grain you borrowed from me before?"
Seeing his brothers' miserable state, Feng Laoda decided to spend money to avert disaster. He would get through this first and worry about the rest later.
Feng Laoda directly took five taels of loose silver from his clothes and handed it to Lin Feng.
The Lin Family and the surrounding villagers were all stunned.
Feng Laoda had quite the fortune. He could casually pull five taels of silver from his clothes.
Most villagers in Xiaohe Village could not produce five taels of silver even if they emptied out everything they owned.
Feng Laoda was so wealthy, yet he still went door to door stealing grain.
The grain they stole had most likely been sold for silver, all for them to squander.
Lin Feng put away the silver. "Get lost!"
The four village bullies felt as if they had been granted a pardon. They scrambled to their feet and helped one another toward the exit.
As Feng Laoda and Feng Laosan were about to leave the courtyard, they turned back and swept their eyes over the Lin Family, their gazes brimming with venom.
Naturally, Lin Feng noticed that look.
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, feeling that this was not over yet.
The four village bullies would definitely come back to reclaim today's humiliation.
The villagers watching from the sidelines made way for the four village bullies on their own.
Lin Feng then swept his unfriendly gaze over the villagers watching at the courtyard entrance.
Their eyes darted away. None dared meet Lin Feng's gaze, and they too dispersed.
Lin Feng shut the courtyard gate. When he turned around, he met the eyes of his wife, Zhou Chunlan.
Lin Feng stared, utterly dumbfounded.
