Chapter 165: Battle against the Lord of Xihai City
"This is what you deserve!" Lin Feng said gritting his teeth.
At this time, the sky was covered with dark clouds and thunder was rumbling.
A flash of lightning flashed across, illuminating Lin Feng's eyes filled with hatred.
The servants of the Chu family fled in all directions in the sea of fire, shouting and crying one after another.
"Help!"
"Run!"
But Lin Feng turned a deaf ear to these voices. His eyes were fixed on the flames in front of him, as if he wanted to burn all the sins of the Chu family to ashes.
The fire grew bigger and bigger, and the heat waves came in waves.
In the Chu family compound, a raging fire devoured everything like a raging beast. Lin Feng sat alone in the center of this sea of fire, his stern face illuminated by the leaping and roaring flames around him. Thick smoke billowed upward, obscuring the sky and the moon.
The remaining Chu family servants fled like frightened birds, fearing the relentless flames and their uncertain fate. Nearby residents, witnessing the horrific blaze, also fled in panic, dragging their families with them. The once bustling streets were now deathly silent, with only the crackling of flames and the occasional thud of collapsing buildings.
Amidst this shroud of chaos and deathly silence, West Sea City Lord Mu Yan and his five subordinates emerged like ghosts. All five were sixth-grade Grandmasters, each possessing a deep aura and piercing gaze. They leaped ethereally onto the rooftop, their inner Qi surging from their bodies, forming an invisible barrier that blocked the blazing flames and allowed them to stand firmly.
On the rooftop outside the Chu family, the top fighters from the other two families quietly appeared. They were all Grandmaster-level warriors, followed by a group of Half-Step Grandmasters. They had originally rushed to support the Chu family, but when they saw City Lord Mu Yan standing there, they stopped in their tracks, choosing to watch from a distance, not daring to rush forward.
At this moment, Lin Feng, who had been sitting quietly, noticed the arrival of Mu Yan and the others. He slowly stood up. His tall figure was like an unshakable mountain in the firelight. His eyes were firm and sharp, revealing a fearless aura.
Mu Yan looked down at Lin Feng and spoke first, his voice carrying a subtle hint of surprise and sarcasm: "General Lin, I didn't expect you to be alive!"
Lin Feng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, smirking contemptuously, and responded, "You're all still fine, how dare I die?" His gaze was as sharp as a torch, fixed on Mu Yan, and then he asked, "By the way, where did that old immortal from Tengchong go? Why can't I see him?"
Mu Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and replied coldly: "Don't worry General Lin, Elder Teng has returned to the Nine Emperors Pavilion, and it's enough for me to entertain you."
Lin Feng's face darkened upon hearing this, and he said bluntly, "Since Tengchong has returned to the Nine Emperors Pavilion, let's talk about our business. The Chu family killed the family members of soldiers and severely injured and imprisoned soldiers. As the Lord of Xihai City, why did you do nothing about it?"
Mu Yan smiled disdainfully and said, "General Lin, I can't just take your side of the story. What I saw was you indiscriminately annihilating the Chu family. As the city lord, how could I ignore such a brutal act?"
Lin Feng's eyes widened in anger as he shouted, "Mu Yan, stop pretending! Don't you know that the Chu family is committing evil deeds in Xihai City? You are in cahoots with them, and now you dare to speak so shamelessly!"
Mu Yan crossed his arms and snorted coldly, "Lin Feng, please stop slandering me! The Chu family is a prominent family in Xihai City and has contributed greatly to the city's development. What is your intention in slandering me like this?"
Lin Feng took a step forward, his aura suddenly bursting out, and he shouted, "Contribution? Their contribution is to oppress the people and kill loyal people? You, as the city lord, are really blind!"
Mu Yan's face turned extremely gloomy, and he shouted angrily: "Lin Feng, how dare you be so rude to this city lord! I will investigate the Chu family's affairs thoroughly, and it is not your turn to make decisions!"
Lin Feng threw his head back and laughed heartily, his laughter filled with grief, indignation, and mockery. "Investigation? Your so-called investigation is nothing but a cover-up and connivance! Under your rule, this West Sea City has long been in chaos, and the people are living in misery!"
Mu Yan gritted his teeth and said, "Lin Feng, stop spreading lies and misleading the people! This city lord has always been dedicated to maintaining the stability of Xihai City. How can I allow you to slander me like this!"
A hint of determination flashed in Lin Feng's eyes, and he said, "Mu Yan, stop pretending! Today I will seek justice for the innocent people who were persecuted by the Chu family!"
Mu Yan laughed in anger: "Fairness? In Xihai City, what this City Lord says is justice! What you did today is openly opposing this City Lord and making an enemy of the entire Xihai City!"
Lin Feng clenched the Star Blade in his hand, the blade reflecting the light of the flame. He said sternly: "Mu Yan, there is no point in saying more. Let my sword judge right and wrong today!"
Mu Yan waved the halberd in his hand, pointed the tip of the halberd at Lin Feng, and shouted: "Arrogant man, this city lord will execute you on the spot today!"
The two men refused to give in to each other and argued fiercely, and the air was filled with tension.
Mu Yan's eyes were sinister as he continued, "Lin Feng, do you think you can overturn the order of Xihai City by yourself? That's simply wishful thinking!"
Lin Feng sneered, "Order? The order you and the Chu family established is nothing more than a tool to oppress the people. I, Lin Feng, will destroy this order!"
Mu Yan was furious: "What an ignorant Lin Feng! This city lord wants to see what you are capable of!"
Lin Feng did not flinch: "Mu Yan, you hypocritical city lord, today is your end!"
The two of them argued back and forth for a long time, but they could not reach a consensus.
Mu Yan realized that arguing any further would be futile, his face darkened, and he said, "In that case, there's no point in talking any more, let's see what happens!"
A hint of determination flashed in Lin Feng's eyes: "That's exactly what I want!"
Before he finished speaking, Mu Yan's figure flashed and he rushed towards Lin Feng like an arrow, waving the spear in his hand, bringing up a sharp sound of wind.
Lin Feng was not afraid at all and stepped forward. The Star Blade in his hand flashed with cold light and collided with Mu Yan's halberd.
"Dang!" A crisp metal collision sound was heard, sparks flew everywhere, and the powerful impact force caused the surrounding burning houses to collapse instantly, and burning wood blocks flew into the air like meteors.
Mu Yan's attack failed, so he quickly changed his tactics and stabbed Lin Feng's vital points with his spear as cunning as a poisonous snake.
Lin Feng dodged sideways and swung the Star Blade. A blade energy whistled out and headed straight for Mu Yan.
Mu Yan waved his halberd to resist, and there was another loud noise. The aftermath made the nearby flames even more violent, as if to ignite the entire sky.
The two instantly engaged in a fierce battle, back and forth, neither giving in. Every collision generated a huge energy wave, and the burning Chu family house was repeatedly blown away and destroyed in this powerful aftermath.
