CHAPTER 1370: CHAPTER 1404: SHANGGUAN MUREN!

"Another absolute master has arrived!"

Someone exclaimed.

Zhan Long and Chen Bubai quickly gathered towards Lin Zifeng, the three having not seen each other for days, yet just a glance could convey their mutual understanding. Back then, they helped Lin Zifeng a lot in destroying Heavenly Gate.

Seeing Beiming Lan being held by Shangguan Teng. In a flash, the silhouette of an exceptional powerful figure from afar personally arrived on the scene.

Only leaving a figure from behind for everyone, unable to discern the facial features clearly...

Yet the aura was quite fearsome.

"Uncle Shepherd!"

Shangguan Teng’s gaze was bright as he hurried forward to call out.

The old man was named Shangguan Shepherd, one of the elder powerful figures of the Shangguan Family, holding an extremely high position within the family.

In Shangguan Teng’s generation, they had often heard of Shangguan Shepherd’s glorious deeds from a young age.

All along, many members of the Shangguan Family had regarded Shangguan Shepherd as the target of their generation’s pursuit...

Now with their idol right in front of them, how could Shangguan Teng not be excited.

But Shangguan Cuihui and Shangguan Jian remained expressionless, these geniuses each had their own pride and didn’t particularly like others helping them...

The old man first nodded towards the enthusiastic Shangguan Teng, then.

His gaze gradually turned somewhat indifferent, as he turned to face Lin Zifeng and the others!

"Shangguan Shepherd!"

Chen Bubai immediately recognized the old man’s identity.

"Oh, you recognize me?"

Shangguan Shepherd smiled, stroking his little beard.

Although his figure seemed ordinary and frail, not much different from an old man, in Chen Bubai’s eyes, this old fellow was a formidable opponent.

Lin Zifeng’s gaze was fixed on Shangguan Teng; if anything were to happen to Beiming Lan, he would be hard-pressed to forgive himself.

"I don’t care who you are, I only want her safe. If Shangguan Teng dares to harm her, I, Lin Zifeng, will not rest until you’ve all perished at the Shangguan Family’s hands!"

Lin Zifeng abruptly extended a hand, pointing his finger straight at Shangguan Teng’s face.

His facial muscles began to twitch intermittently, cold eyes fixed fiercely on Shangguan Teng.

An intense killing aura surged like a violent tide; if Shangguan Teng didn’t let Beiming Lan go today, even Lin Zifeng himself didn’t know what kind of madness he might do.

"I didn’t expect a fledgling like you to be so brazen; do you really dare to perish at the Shangguan Family’s hands?" The old man sneered, finding it the most laughable joke he’d ever heard.

"Uncle Shepherd, you must avenge me! Teng’er’s ten fingers were all broken by him." Shangguan Teng cried out, although his ten fingers were crippled by Lin Zifeng, they weren’t irreparably damaged, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to clutch Beiming Lan’s neck with his fingers.

"Rest assured, if he owes you, he’ll surely pay you back." The old man said indifferently.

His gaze shifted from Lin Zifeng to Zhan Long and Chen Bubai, smiling at Chen Bubai: "Young man, many years have passed, have you also reached the King Realm? It seems those old fellows didn’t lose hope in you after all."

"Yes, not only did they not lose hope. They have high expectations." Chen Bubai said coldly.

He’s a product of Martial Arts experimentation.

Also the sole survivor among the mutants of the entire Martial Arts world.

Back then, among those chosen to mutate the strongest genes, almost everyone died in the experimental radiation, leaving only Chen Bubai alive, hailed as the new King in this turbulent era!

With limitless potential!

Alongside Zhan Long, another prodigy with limitless potential, known as Zhonghai’s Twin Heroes!

Moreover, a few months ago, in Lin Zifeng’s mind, Zhan Long and Chen Bubai’s cultivation was barely at the Peak Stage of Condensation Realm, yet now they possess terrifying combat power at the King Realm, far beyond Lin Zifeng’s imagination.

Could it be that the two always concealed their true potential cultivation?

Considering their Martial Arts Alliance’s Long Zaitian being killed, they didn’t seek revenge on Lin Zifeng, instead quietly aiding him. The situation is incredibly curious...

At this moment, Lin Zifeng no longer cared who the old man was; he only wanted to save Beiming Lan, relieving the immense pressure on his heart.

He stepped forward, sharp eyes locked on Shangguan Teng, then coldly said without emotion: "Shangguan Teng, we don’t have any hatred, but please let Beiming Lan go. If you’re unhappy with me, you can come at me directly! Bullying a woman, what does that make you?"

The scene was intensely tense, the air gradually solidifying.

Both sides were at a stalemate; Lin Zifeng’s trio was quite fierce, but facing numerous formidable members of the Shangguan Family, they were still helpless. Watching the Shangguan Family’s guards and experts continuously gathering, nearly a hundred experts with essence energy like wolf smoke converging here, the grave situation began exhibiting subtle changes.

"Alright! Young man, this is what you said. Now quickly cripple your right arm, or I’ll let Beiming Lan die before your eyes!"

Shangguan Teng’s face twisted into a sneer, deeply mocking. Just as Lin Zifeng crippled his fingers, he wanted a payback!

"Shangguan Teng! If you’re man enough, act straightforwardly! Do you dare to harm me?"

Beiming Lan’s charming eyes changed color, observing Lin Zifeng’s indecisive look, she knew. If Lin Zifeng self-harmed, Shangguan Teng wouldn’t necessarily spare her, but use it to further coerce.

"Wretch! Are you testing my patience?!"

At this, Shangguan Teng shouted repeatedly, his few operable fingers fiercely squeezing Beiming Lan’s snow-white neck, causing Beiming Lan’s face to immediately redden once more, coughing repeatedly.

Lin Zifeng’s eyes burned red, his chest heaving. Heavy breathing repressed unbearably.

Zhan Long and Chen Bubai clung tightly to Lin Zifeng’s side, exchanging glances. Following Lin Zifeng’s step forward, they accompanied all the way.

"Let me ask you one last time—release or not?"

Lin Zifeng’s hoarse voice roared.

"Young man, you’re forcing me!"

With that, Shangguan Teng excitedly increased the strength of his grip.

But—suddenly, Lin Zifeng’s figure transformed into a rapid lightning-like arrow, violently attacking.

"Do you dare to act insolently before me?"

The old man’s deep voice suddenly resounded—

"Brush—"

Glory flashed, Lin Zifeng’s figure was already nearing Shangguan Teng, launching a punch.

"Bang—"

Swirling energy surged, radiance flashed similarly. The old man’s frail body moved swiftly, meeting Lin Zifeng’s Iron Fist with a punch.

Seeing a punch failing, Lin Zifeng didn’t retreat at all, instead confronting head-on, repeatedly wielding Fist Light, determined to snatch Beiming Lan from Shangguan Teng’s grip.

"Kill!"

Zhan Long and Chen Bubai roared, swiftly attacking the old man, aiming to halt his assault on Lin Zifeng.

"I indeed wish to appreciate the skills of the newborn kings; will they disappoint me?"

Shangguan Shepherd’s light laughter echoed, battling together with three, yet not falling behind.
