Chapter 272 - 263: The Eight-Character True Words (Part 2)
At this moment, as he appeared, the atmosphere on site seemed to instantly freeze, becoming even more oppressive.
Chen Kuangfeng’s gaze was as sharp as electricity, coldly eyeing Lin Lang, and he asked:
"Kid, where are you from, and what’s your business here?"
His voice was low and deep, each word seemingly carrying an invisible pressure, making people dare not act recklessly.
Yet Lin Lang remained calm and composed, as if standing before him wasn’t an awe-inspiring Elder of the Martial God Palace but merely an ordinary passer-by.
He spoke unhurriedly:
"Your dogs bit me. I’m not one to stoop to a dog’s level; I can’t just bite a dog back, can I? So, I could only come to find the dog’s master to have a word."
His words were plain, yet the irony in them was unmistakably clear.
Listening to him, some around secretly smacked their tongues, thinking this kid was too bold, daring to talk to the Elder like that.
...
"Hmm?"
Chen Kuangfeng first was taken aback, then frowned, feeling slightly baffled!
Clearly, he didn’t quite understand the meaning behind Lin Lang’s words.
However!
When his gaze fell on Wu Ji beside him, who was trembling and looking guilty,
He suddenly appeared to be in thought, a flash of realization crossing his eyes. Then he turned to Wu Ji and asked:
"Did you misbehave and provoke this gentleman?"
...
Hearing Elder Chen’s stern questioning of Wu Ji!
Lü Su Ran couldn’t help but feel a bit of joy!
She secretly thought:
"Finally, someone reasonable has come. Now we can finally get some justice."
Her eyes revealed a hint of expectation, gazing intently at Chen Kuangfeng, waiting for his handling.
And now Wu Ji dared not argue, shivering all over in fright, immediately lowering his head, stammering as he begged for mercy:
"Elder, I... I indeed was momentarily confused and offended this gentleman. Please forgive me, Elder!"
His voice carried a tremble, his heart in turmoil, not knowing how the Elder might deal with him.
But unexpectedly—
Chen Kuangfeng’s face suddenly sank, and he shouted sternly:
"Useless thing!"
"If a mere Superpower User upsets you, just kill them!"
"How can you not even handle such trash cleanly and cause trouble here?!"
His words were like cold blades, mercilessly severing the last bit of expectation for justice in everyone’s hearts!
The scene fell into a dead silence!
"Wha- what!"
Numerous Superpower Users doubted their ears—
Really?
Even if you all truly think this way,
Isn’t it bad to say it outright in front of us?
...
When Wu Ji heard these words, a ray of hope suddenly lit in his heart!
The unease clouding his heart like a shadow swiftly dispersed.
He secretly rejoiced:
"I actually forgot the most crucial point! No matter how powerful this kid is, he is still just a Superpower User!"
"In this Martial God Village, Superpower Users are the lowest of the low. Why should I fear him?"
"As long as the Elder stands by me, what should I be afraid of?"
Thinking of this!
Wu Ji hurriedly knelt down before Chen Kuangfeng with a thud, speaking earnestly:
"I know I was wrong, willing to accept punishment! Please punish me, Elder, I will surely wholeheartedly reform, never committing such a low-level mistake again!"
Finishing, he secretly raised his head, giving Lin Lang a provocative glance.
That glance was full of smugness and arrogance.
...
As for Lin Lang.
Seeing Wu Ji’s triumphant expression.
Along with Chen Kuangfeng’s callous remarks, Lin Lang’s gaze gradually turned icy.
That look was like tangible cold rays, exuding endless murderous intent.
He secretly pondered that he hadn’t killed anyone for a long time—
When he first arrived in Qingfeng City.
Meeting the cannibal Niu Wangchun, he couldn’t bear to kill him.
After all, they did so to survive in such a harsh environment, it was helpless.
Then he arrived at Wen Feiyan’s camp.
As for Lin Beixuan, though he was quite disrespectful, ultimately his crime wasn’t worth dying, so he spared him.
But now, facing this arrogant, life-disregarding Chen Kuangfeng.
Lin Lang’s killing intent emerged—
That murderous desire burned like a wildfire in his heart, unable to be suppressed.
But he simply gave a faint smile:
"No wonder this castrated dog bites indiscriminately, I initially thought it was due to lack of discipline from its master!"
"Only, upon coming here, I found out the whole pack is dogs!"
...
As Lin Lang’s words were spoken!
It was like throwing a heavy bomb into a calm lake!
Instantly exploding the crowd into pale shock, each one taken aback!
"This kid is truly insane! Daring to speak to the Elder like this! Isn’t he digging his own grave?"
And Wu Ji, hearing Lin Lang’s words, was even more furious, bouncing like a cat whose tail was stepped on.
At this moment, before the Great Elder, he considered it a perfect opportunity to demonstrate his loyalty!
So he shouted, cursing at Lin Lang:
"You reckless thing! Daring to defy the Elder like this, it’s simply treasonous! You think you’re something special because you have some skills? Before the Elder, you, a mere Superpower User, should obediently tuck your tail, but now you dare be so arrogant, seems you’re tired of living..."
As he cursed, he waved his arms, that menacing posture, as if he would rush up to devour Lin Lang whole.
