Li Feng raised his eyes to look at the young man who walked in.
"Who are you?"
Li Feng had long suspected the identity of this young man. From the beginning, he stood behind Gu Jiuyuan, unlike most subordinates.
Li Feng conversed with Gu Jiuyuan several tis, and this person would interject.
If he had no special status, how could that be possible?
Gu Jiuyuan is an elder of the Xu Family's Dark Hall, a notorious person who kills without blinking, how could he allow a subordinate to be so brazenly disrespectful?
Especially after that.
Gu Jiuyuan even let him leave early. If he had no status, why would Gu Jiuyuan go to such lengths? Li Feng didn't believe that this old guy was benevolent.
"You shouldn't be an ordinary character. This old man Gu has to worry about your comfort."
"Then, guess who I am?"
The young man looked at Li Feng with great interest.
Li Feng raised his eyes and looked over: "Old man Gu is a protector in the Longevity Sect, likely there to protect Lin Changsheng."
"But I've seen Lin Wanzhou, Lin Changsheng's son, and although I haven't heard of Lin Changsheng having other sons, there's sothing about your expression that makes you resemble Lin Wanzhou sowhat."
"If I'm not mistaken, you should be Lin Changsheng's illegitimate son."
The young man listened to Li Feng's analysis and imdiately clapped his hands: "Oh wow, impressive, I didn't expect your observation to be so ticulous."
"Since you're about to die anyway, it's no harm telling you, yes, I'm Lin Changsheng's illegitimate son."
"I just wasn't raised by my father Lin Changsheng. Instead, I apprenticed under Gu Jiuyuan and have been serving by his side."
"My na is Lin Qianqiu."
Lin Qianqiu walked across the corpses on the ground to Gu Jiuyuan's side: "Master, rest assured, I will send this guy who killed you down to accompany you."
"Urgh, urgh."
Gu Jiuyuan looked at Lin Qianqiu, seemingly wanting to speak, but he couldn't say anything as his throat was full of blood.
"Master, have a good journey."
Lin Qianqiu quickly extended his hand and twisted Gu Jiuyuan's neck, putting an end to his fragile life.
Li Feng watched Lin Qianqiu's actions as he took out Gu Jiuyuan and picked up Gu Jiuyuan's dragon-headed cane.
He reached out and twisted the dragon eye on the cane, suddenly revealing a hidden compartnt in the cane.
Lin Qianqiu retrieved a vial with serum from the hidden compartnt and walked up to Li Feng, jabbing the serum into Li Feng and pushing it into his body.
After finishing, Lin Qianqiu casually tossed the syringe aside.
Li Feng raised his eyes to look at Lin Qianqiu: "You actually saved ?"
Lin Qianqiu let out a cold chuckle: "Li Feng, of course, I had to save you. You truly can't die now; at least not before you hand over that fifty billion to ."
"Oh? What if I refuse?"
Li Feng asked.
Lin Qianqiu looked at Li Feng: "Refuse?"
"Sotis, wanting to die can be harder than living. You seem to forget that I am Gu Jiuyuan's disciple. I've learned all his tricks, especially how to make soone suffer inhuman pain while keeping them alive."
"Honestly, no one has survived more than an hour under this old bastard's thods. While I've only learned the basics, I can guarantee you'll eagerly hand over everything just to die quickly."
"What, don't believe ?"
"Very well."
Lin Qianqiu smiled slightly: "I've given you serum. Although you won't recover quickly, it remains a hidden threat."
"Let sever your tendons and make you completely crippled, then I'll have my fun with you."
Lin Qianqiu flashed a twisted smile, drawing a sharp spring knife from his pocket and reaching for one of Li Feng's arms.
Just as Lin Qianqiu was about to act.
Li Feng suddenly moved from leaning against the pillar, shook his right hand to escape Lin Qianqiu's grasp, seized Lin Qianqiu's wrist, and took the spring knife.
He twisted his waist and switched places with Lin Qianqiu, changing the dynamics of attack and defense.
Li Feng pressed the spring knife against Lin Qianqiu's throat, while Lin Qianqiu's back slamd into the pillar, disoriented.
"You...!"
Lin Qianqiu quickly regained composure, raising his eyes to look at Li Feng, who was pressing the knife against his throat: "How could you recover so fast?"
"re snake venom... you really thought it could claim my life?"
"How about you die instead."
Li Feng sneered coldly.
The Seven-step King Snake's venom is indeed deadly, but Li Feng was raised with dicinal baths containing various poisons.
His body is not only akin to Iron Bone, but also immune to all kinds of toxins, with a natural resistance to many poisons. What could be fatal to others is just a minor discomfort for Li Feng.
The only reason Li Feng seed so passive was due to the neurotoxin from the Seven-step King Snake.
This toxin renders antibodies useless because it affects your nerves, causing paralysis.
Li Feng found it difficult to move.
He killed Gu Jiuyuan by exploiting the other's negligence and greed, knowing if Gu Jiuyuan struck him, he'd be unable to retaliate.
However, Gu Jiuyuan's greed gave Li Feng the chance to counterattack.
Using a concealed surgical knife, he took down Gu Jiuyuan.
Li Feng had guessed Gu Jiuyuan's cane might hold secrets, perhaps even an antidote serum, and with enough ti he could have retrieved and treated himself with it.
Yet, Lin Qianqiu unexpectedly feared his death and hurriedly injected him with serum, saving Li Feng considerable effort.
Li Feng's body already possessed antibodies, and now with serum targeted at his condition, he recovered sowhat, not struggling like before.
Lin Qianqiu probably never imagined Li Feng could recover so quickly.
Lin Qianqiu silently cursed inwardly.
How could he have known that Li Feng was so resilient, practically indestructible despite facing the Seven-step King Snake's venom?
"Wait."
Lin Qianqiu felt the cold blade of the spring knife and shouted hastily.
"Weren't you looking for Lin Changsheng? I can help you."
"Help ?"
Li Feng paused, raising his eyes to look at Lin Qianqiu.
"Yes, I'll help you."
"You want to betray your father?"
Lin Qianqiu sneered coldly: "I'm indeed Lin Changsheng's child, but he never raised even a single day. I grew up under Gu Jiuyuan, the old demon, simply because he wanted to be a hostage."
"I have no feelings for Lin Changsheng. In fact, I despise him."
"If you want to go against Lin Changsheng, I can fully assist you."
"How do you plan to help ?"
Li Feng looked at Lin Qianqiu with interest.
"It's simple, I can take you directly to him."
