Chapter 174 A Farce: One Injured, One Dead
Ten heavily intoxicated Ma Yiwei generals surrounded Lin Feng and Sun Yu, including Liu Haobin, the Ma Yiwei general with triangular eyes from the county town.
Lin Feng and his companion weren't too afraid, since weapons and internal energy couldn't be used to hurt people in fights within the organization.
These people were therefore not afraid of Lin Feng.
Because they had also heard of Lin Feng's achievements and knew that Lin Feng was at the Bone Refining Realm, if they really fought, several of these people would die.
One of the county's Ma Yiwei generals, eager to prove himself, shoved Lin Feng in the chest. "I heard you're quite capable of making meritorious contributions?"
Lin Feng remained motionless, but the other man was knocked back two steps by the force of the impact.
Although Lin Feng cannot use internal force to injure others, it does not mean that he cannot use the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill to defend himself.
His Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill had reached a point of returning to simplicity, concealing the golden light all over his body, which would only appear when powerful true energy surged forth.
Another general from the Ma Yi Guard pushed Sun Yu, saying, "You, a mere soldier who isn't even a general, dare to come to the county town to compete in martial arts?"
The person was knocked back a step by the force of the recoil.
Sun Yu also possesses hard skills; Lin Feng learned his Thirteen Bodyguards Horizontal Training from Sun Yu.
A group of people, fueled by alcohol, pushed and shoved each other.
Bang! Lin Feng punched a general in hemp clothing in the abdomen, and the man fell to the ground, his body bent like a shrimp.
"What are you pushing for? You're acting like a bunch of old women."
A general in hempen armor shouted, "They dare to hit people! Everyone, attack them together!"
The remaining eight generals of the Ma Yi Guard from various counties rushed towards Lin Feng and his companion.
Liu Haobin, the general of the Ma Yi Guard in the county town, stood aside and watched the excitement.
Lin Feng and Sun Yu were not to be outdone and used their martial arts skills to fight back.
In just a few breaths, all eight county-level generals of the Ma Yi Guard were lying on the ground groaning.
"Pah!" Sun Yu spat on the ground. "They all started causing trouble because they were drunk. I thought they were so tough, but all they have is this little bit of martial arts skill."
This is normal. There are many people practicing swordsmanship in the Sword Sect area, but very few practicing fist and foot techniques. It is normal that the fist and foot techniques of these people are mediocre.
The general of the Ma Yi Guard in the county town swept his cold gaze over the Ma Yi Guards watching the commotion.
The Ma Yi Guards of the county town numbered five hundred, and there were probably two or three hundred people watching the spectacle from the surrounding area.
These two or three hundred men naturally understood what their general meant from his glance.
Several leaders shouted, "These two dare to beat people at the gate of our county town's Ma Yiwei! Brothers, let's go and beat them up!"
A group of people rushed forward.
Two or three hundred people suddenly rushed forward.
Sun Yu and Lin Feng spun back-to-back, constantly fending off the attacking soldiers in hemp clothing.
Sun Yu was too exhausted to speak. There were more people attacking him than Lin Feng, because most people didn't dare to lay a hand on Lin Feng.
Lin Feng was a famous general in the Hemp-Clad Guard, whose status and strength were undeniable.
However, Sun Yu was protected by the Thirteen Bodyguards' external martial arts, so he was able to withstand it.
Surrounded by so many people, the two of them used heavy force.
Their physical strength not only increases their defense but also their attack power.
Before long, sixty or seventy people had fallen around the two of them.
It was thanks to the two of them constantly moving that these people would have all ended up piled up together.
Seeing that two or three hundred people couldn't do anything to the two, Liu Haobin with triangular eyes immediately gave a wink to his cousin Liu Andong in the crowd.
Liu Andong understood and secretly approached Lin Feng and the other man, secretly channeling his inner strength into his palm and striking Sun Yu's dantian.
He wanted to take advantage of the chaos to cripple Sun Yu.
Sun Yu only possesses the Refining Skin Mirror, while Lin Feng's martial arts far surpass Sun Yu's.
Even though they were back-to-back, Lin Feng could still tell that this palm strike was different.
Lin Feng suddenly appeared beside Liu Andong and bumped Liu Andong's arm with his body.
Liu Andong's sneak attack was deflected to the side, striking the dantian of a companion next to him.
The person who was hit screamed and fell to the ground, clutching his lower abdomen and rolling around.
The crowd fell silent.
The crowd took several steps back, looking at the soldier who had used his internal energy to injure someone.
Although everyone on the field knew that he was the one who committed the crime, he still tried to deny it.
He took a few steps back and pointed at Lin Feng, saying, "It was him, he crippled that man on the ground. He actually dared to use his internal energy."
"Haha," Lin Feng laughed, "I'm already at the Bone Refining Realm, where would I get any internal energy? So many people have seen it, and you still want to deny it?"
The man pointed at the surrounding crowd and shouted, "Who saw me hurt anyone? It was clearly General Lin who did it!"
No one in the crowd spoke.
Lin Feng's face gradually darkened. Entering someone else's territory was troublesome; these people were all in cahoots and certainly wouldn't help testify.
Sun Yu pulled a blade of grass from his sleeve, stuffed it into his mouth, and gritted his teeth. "Damn it, we've stumbled into a doghouse. We might have to fight our way out."
Suddenly a voice shouted, "Who said no one saw it? I saw it! It was you, Liu Andong, who injured that brother just now. I can testify to that."
The speaker was Wang Fusheng, who got along quite well with Lin Feng and Lin Feng.
Liu Andong pointed at Wang Fusheng and cursed, "You traitorous dog, do you think your testimony alone is worth as much as all of ours?"
Wang Fusheng shouted loudly, "Justice resides in the hearts of the people. Even if you take this to the higher-ups, Liu Andong, you will not be in the right. The higher-ups can easily verify the injury by examining it."
"Insolence!" General Liu Haobin of the Ma Yi Guard of the county town shouted, and the scene immediately fell silent.
"Everyone, get them down and throw these two thugs who hurt people into the Ma Yiwei prison."
With a clang, Liu Andong was the first to draw the long sword from his back.
Others followed suit.
Lin Feng and Sun Yu also drew their swords from their backs.
If someone were killed at the headquarters of the Imperial Guard in the county town today, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Public opinion can be deceiving; everyone says that Lin Feng and Sun Yu injured someone first and then killed someone while escaping. The two of them probably have no way to defend themselves.
However, Lin Feng had already come up with a solution: simply kill all the Ma Yi Guards in the county town and that would solve the problem.
Then I'll just say they've rebelled, and let them do whatever they want.
We can't just surrender.
Since this has happened to me, I can't consider the consequences anymore. I'll just kill everyone and be done with it.
Lin Feng swept his murderous gaze across the crowd, his longsword flashing as he prepared to unleash a Wind-Breaking Slash.
Just then, an angry shout came from above, "Enough! A bunch of dogs who only know how to fight amongst themselves, what use are you?"
An elderly man with white hair and beard slowly landed.
General Liu Haobin of the Ma Yi Guard of the prefecture city hurriedly stepped forward, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Uncle-Master, what brings you here?"
The old man gave Liu Haobin a cold look and said, "Don't call me 'Uncle-Master,' and get the hell out of my sight."
The old man walked up to Liu Andong and slapped Liu Andong on the top of his head.
Click! Liu Andong's eyes widened, filled with bewilderment.
He couldn't understand why the old man in front of him wanted to kill him.
He was acting on the general's orders, and the old man was the general's senior martial brother.
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes.
If the old man was on his side, then it wouldn't be wrong for him to kill Liu Andong.
But with Liu Andong's death, the matter ended there, and all the blame fell on Liu Andong.
It's understandable that the old man was biased towards his junior apprentice Liu Haobin; his killing of Liu Andong was actually an attempt to protect Liu Haobin from being implicated.
He was a little confused about which side the old man was on, so he stood there and waited to see what would happen next.
