100: Chapter 100 A Visit to Demand Justice! The Zhou Family? I'm Here to Flip the Table!

"Zhou Tianhao, come out and meet your death!"

Lin Feng's voice exploded over the Zhou Family estate like a clap of thunder!

It shook the leaves until they rustled down and made the guards' eardrums ache!

He stood in the center of the large crater he had smashed, holding Inoue Nofuo in one hand and the dragon slaying sword in the other.

Behind him, the Wind Wings flapped gently, swirling with azure light.

Around him, eight-colored elements circled him like a god of war.

"Enemy attack—!!!"

The alarms continued to blare.

Countless people poured out from everywhere.

The first to rush over was the guard unit from the martial arts field.

A dark mass of people, at least two hundred!

All in blue-grade equipment, holding standard-issue long sabers, well-trained!

Leading them was a burly man, two meters tall, with knotted muscles, carrying a giant axe as big as a door.

[Zhou Family Guard Captain · Zhou Xiong]

[Rank: 55]

[Talent: B-Rank · Berserk]

[Physique: Elite Grade · Rock Physique]

"Where did this madman come from, daring to run wild in the Zhou Family!"

Zhou Xiong roared, and two hundred people surrounded Lin Feng!

Sabers and swords were unsheathed, overflowing with Killing Intent!

Lin Feng glanced at them.

Then, he smiled.

"Just these?"

Zhou Xiong's face darkened.

"Kid, who do you think you are? Daring to barge into the Zhou Family alone?"

"If you know what's good for you, put down your weapon and surrender! Otherwise—"

Before he could finish.

Lin Feng raised the dragon slaying sword and gave it a casual swing.

A pitch-black Sword Qi swept out!

Puh-puh-puh-puh-puh!!!

More than twenty guards at the front were sent flying by the Sword Qi!

They screamed as they crashed into walls, trees, and rockeries!

[Damage Dealt: 34950+5000=39950, Critical Hit! Actual Damage: 79900]

[Killed Zhou Family Guards × 23]

Zhou Xiong's pupils constricted!

Before he could react, Lin Feng had already appeared in front of him!

The dragon slaying sword was held against his neck.

"Otherwise what?"

Zhou Xiong's whole body stiffened, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back.

He could feel the terrifying pressure emanating from the sword.

If Lin Feng made even a slight move, his head would be separated from his body.

"You... you..."

His mouth hung open, unable to speak for a long time.

Lin Feng ignored him.

He looked up toward the main house.

"Zhou Tianhao, have you played the shrinking turtle long enough?"

"If you don't come out, I'll tear down this crappy manor of yours!"

Just as he finished speaking—

The main doors of the house burst open!

A group of people walked out.

Leading them was an old man in his fifties.

Wearing a deep purple robe, with graying hair and a majestic countenance.

His eyes were sharp as a hawk's, and his whole body emitted a powerful aura.

[Acting Head of the Zhou Family · Zhou Tiannan]

[Rank: 78]

[Talent: S-Rank · Flame Control]

[Physique: legendary grade · Fire God Physique]

[Status: Peak Condition]

Behind him followed seven or eight people.

Old and young, men and women.

All were core members of the Zhou Family.

Among them was a young man Lin Feng recognized.

Zhou Tianhao.

Standing behind Zhou Tiannan, the moment he saw Lin Feng, his expression was quite the sight.

Shock, anger, disbelief, and a trace of fear...

"Lin Feng?!"

His voice cracked.

"You... how can you be here?!"

Lin Feng looked at him and smiled.

A very cold smile.

"What? Are you surprised the assassin you sent didn't come back?"

He threw Inoue Nofuo onto the ground.

The limbless human log rolled twice on the ground and let out a weak groan.

Zhou Tianhao looked down, and his face instantly turned pale.

"Inoue... Inoue-kun?!"

Inoue Nofuo struggled to lift his head, looking at him with desperate eyes.

"Mr. Zhou... sorry... I... failed..."

After speaking, his head lolled to the side as he fainted.

Zhou Tianhao's body swayed, nearly losing his footing.

The Rank 59 A-Rank assassin he sent, a top-tier assassin from Baga Country...

Had been chopped into a human log?!

Zhou Tiannan's expression also changed.

He stared at Lin Feng, his eyes sharp as knives.

"Young man, who are you? To dare run wild in my Zhou Family?"

Lin Feng put away the dragon slaying sword, pulled out his S-Rank Explorer badge from his pocket, and pinned it to his chest.

"Lin Feng, S-Rank Explorer, Deacon of the Explorer Association."

"I am here today to bring charges."

Zhou Tiannan frowned.

"Charges? What charges?"

Lin Feng looked at Zhou Tianhao.

"The first charge."

"Zhou Tianhao, colluding with people from Baga Country to assassinate a Federal Explorer—Treason."

Zhou Tianhao's face changed, and he immediately retorted.

"Bullshit! When did I ever collude with Baga Country?!"

Lin Feng pointed at Inoue Nofuo on the ground.

"This man, Inoue Nofuo, Rank 59, a top-tier assassin from Baga Country."

"He ambushed me in the Orléans Instance and said with his own mouth that you sent him."

"Should I wake him up now for a confrontation?"

Zhou Tianhao opened his mouth but couldn't speak.

Zhou Tiannan looked at him with questioning eyes.

"Tianhao, is what he said true?"

"Uncle, I... I didn't!" Zhou Tianhao gritted his teeth in denial. "This kid is framing me! I don't know any Baga Country assassins at all!"

Lin Feng smiled.

"Don't know him?"

"Then how did this person appear in the Orléans Instance?"

"That Dungeon is a Rank 45 Mutated Dungeon; only Explorers who have accepted the quest can enter."

"How did a person from Baga Country like him get in?"

Zhou Tianhao's face was livid.

"How should I know! Maybe he smuggled himself in!"

"Relations between Baga Country and our Federation are tense; isn't it normal for them to send assassins into the Federation to cause trouble?"

"Why blame it on me?!"

Lin Feng nodded.

"That makes a lot of sense."

Zhou Tianhao breathed a sigh of relief.

But Lin Feng's next sentence made his face change again.

"Then what about the second charge?"

"The second charge?"

"Yes." Lin Feng held up a second finger. "Zhou Tianhao, you've sent people to assassinate me multiple times."

"The first time, at the entrance of a low-level Dungeon, you sent the Blood Wolf Group to surround me."

"The second time, on the day my shop opened, you sent city management to shut it down."

"The third time, when I came out of the Desert Golden Sea, you sent Blood Butcher with fifteen people to corner me in an alley."

"The fourth time, you sent this Baga Country assassin into the Dungeon to ambush me."

"Do you admit to these?"

Cold sweat poured down Zhou Tianhao's forehead.

"You... you're framing me! What evidence do you have?!"

Lin Feng smiled.

"Evidence?"

He raised his hand and took something out of his wanxiang ring.

It was a token.

Palm-sized, pitch-black as ink, with a blood-red character for "Zhou" carved on the front.

[Zhou Family Token (Purple)]

[Effect: Symbol of Status]

[Description: A keepsake for core members of the Zhou Family; seeing this token is like seeing the Family Head.]

"This token was found on Blood Butcher's corpse."

Lin Feng tossed the token in his hand.

"Blood Butcher, a Rank 19 B-Rank Talent user, the leader of the group you sent to kill me."

"Before he died, he said with his own mouth that you ordered it."

"This token was the keepsake he was given."

Zhou Tianhao's face turned deathly pale.

That token was indeed his.

To show how much he valued the mission, he had given the token to Blood Butcher.

He never expected it to become evidence.

Zhou Tiannan's face had completely darkened.

He looked at Zhou Tianhao with cold eyes.

"Tianhao, what is going on?"

"Uncle, I... I..."

Zhou Tianhao stammered, unable to speak.

Lin Feng put away the token and continued.

"The third charge."

"Zhou Tianhao, hiring an assassin to kill, and the assassin hired was from Baga Country."

"This is no longer just a personal grudge."

"To put it lightly, it's the murder of a Federal citizen."

"To put it heavily, it's treason."

He stared at Zhou Tianhao, speaking word by word.

"Either of these two is enough for you to die ten times over."

Zhou Tianhao's legs went weak, and he almost knelt.

He looked at Zhou Tiannan for help.

"Uncle, save me..."

Zhou Tiannan remained silent for a few seconds.

Then, he looked up at Lin Feng.

"Young man, what you've said is just your side of the story."

"That token could be forged."

"That Baga Country person could be in collusion with you."

"What conclusive evidence do you have to prove Tianhao is guilty?"

Lin Feng smiled.

As expected, these old foxes were going to play dirty.

"Evidence?"

He pointed at Inoue Nofuo on the ground.

"This man is the evidence."

"Should I wake him up now and let him say who sent him?"

Zhou Tiannan shook his head.

"How can the words of a Baga Country person be trusted?"

"Maybe he was brought here by you to intentionally frame him."

Lin Feng raised an eyebrow.

"So what you're saying is, nothing I say counts?"

"It doesn't count."

"The token I brought out doesn't count?"

"It can be forged."

"This person doesn't count?"

"Collusion is possible."

"Then what would count?"

Zhou Tiannan stared at him, a cold sneer curling his lips.

"Unless... you have ironclad proof."

"For example, a letter written by Tianhao himself."

"Or a recording of the order he personally gave."

"Or someone present who saw him send the assassin with their own eyes."

"Do you have any of these?"

Lin Feng fell silent.

He didn't.

Zhou Tianhao had acted carefully and left no direct evidence.

Seeing him silent, Zhou Tiannan's smile grew wider.

"Young man, I respect that you are an S-Rank Explorer and a Deacon; I can act as if today's events never happened."

"If you leave now, I can guarantee that the Zhou Family will not hold you responsible for barging through our gates."

"Otherwise..."

He paused, his tone becoming grim.

"Even if you are an S-Rank Explorer, if you trespass on private property, killing you would be for nothing."

Lin Feng looked at him.

Then he looked at Zhou Tianhao's smug face.

Then, he smiled.

He smiled very brightly.

"So after all that, you're just going to play dirty."

"The evidence doesn't count, the witness doesn't count, the token doesn't count."

"Since your Zhou Family is rich and powerful, you can turn black into white."

Zhou Tiannan's face darkened.

"Young man, watch your words!"

Lin Feng ignored him.

He put away the dragon slaying sword and folded his arms.

"Fine, since you won't admit it, I'll change my approach."

Zhou Tiannan was taken aback.

"What approach?"

Lin Feng looked at Zhou Tianhao.

"Zhou Tianhao, you sent people to kill me four times; this debt cannot go unpaid."

"Since you won't admit it, I'll beat you until you do."

Zhou Tiannan's face changed drastically.

"You dare?!"

Lin Feng didn't speak.

He just took something out of his wanxiang ring.

It was a piece of paper.

A4 sized, with a bright red seal.

[Explorer Association Deacon's Order]

[Deacon: Lin Feng]

[Authority: In necessary circumstances, can mobilize local garrison for assistance]

[Seal: Explorer Association East Sea Branch]

He held the paper up.

"Zhou Tiannan, can you see this clearly?"

Zhou Tiannan's pupils constricted.

"A Deacon's Order..."

"Yes." Lin Feng nodded. "A Deacon's Order; seeing this order is like seeing the Association."

"I now suspect the Zhou Family of harboring a traitor, shielding a criminal, and obstructing official business."

"According to Deacon regulations, I have the right to—"

He paused, speaking word by word.

"Mobilize the military to conduct a forced search."

Zhou Tiannan's face turned livid.

"You! You're crazy!"

"Mobilize the military? You think the military is run by your family?!"

Lin Feng smiled.

"Whether it's run by my family or not, let's find out."

He pulled out his phone and pressed a speed-dial key.

Beep—beep—

"Hello, Major Chen."

Chen Ruoxi's cold voice came from the other end.

"Lin Feng? What is it?"

"I'm at the Zhou Family estate right now, and I need some backup."

"How many?"

"A company should do."

There was a second of silence on the other end.

Then, Chen Ruoxi said.

"Ten minutes."

The call ended.

Lin Feng put away his phone and looked at Zhou Tiannan.

"In ten minutes, the military will be here."

"When that happens, I'll conduct the search myself."

"Don't blame me for not warning you if I find anything."

Zhou Tiannan's face was beyond description.

He had lived for seventy-eight years; what storms hadn't he seen?

But he truly hadn't seen anything like this today.

A Rank 43 young man, holding a Deacon's Order, calling the military to search the Zhou Family?!

What kind of move is this?!

"Kid, you think you can scare me like this?"

He gritted his teeth.

"The Zhou Family's years of foundation are not something you can touch!"

Lin Feng shrugged.

"Whether I can touch it or not, let's see."

"Anyway, I have nothing to lose."

"At worst, we both go down."

Zhou Tiannan trembled with rage.

The Zhou Family members behind him also glared at him.

A few young ones couldn't hold back anymore.

"Grandfather! Why waste words with him! Just take him down!"

"Right! A Rank 43 brat dares to be so arrogant in the Zhou Family!"

"Let me teach him a lesson!"

A young man rushed out from the crowd.

He was in his early twenties, wearing a luxurious brocade robe and holding a blue longsword.

[Zhou Family Scion · Zhou Yun]

[Rank: 45]

[Talent: A-Rank · Frost Mastery]

[Physique: Prodigy Grade · Ice Jade Physique]

"Kid, take my sword!"

He thrust his sword at Lin Feng!

Ice-blue light swirled on the blade, with a piercing cold!

Lin Feng stood where he was, unmoving.

He didn't even glance at him.

Just as the tip of the sword was less than half a meter away from him—

He raised his hand and gave the dragon slaying sword a casual swing.

Clang!!!

The longsword in Zhou Yun's hand snapped.

It broke into two pieces.

Zhou Yun himself was sent flying by the impact!

He crashed heavily onto the ground, spitting blood!

[Damage Dealt: 39950 - Defense? Actual Damage: 35000]

[Zhou Yun's health points: 15000/50000]

One move, heavily injured!

The Zhou Family members' expressions changed drastically!

Those few eager young men instantly lost their nerve.

Zhou Tiannan's face was now as black as the bottom of a pot.

He looked at Lin Feng, and for the first time, a trace of... wariness appeared in his eyes.

This young man was too strong.

Rank 43, yet he heavily injured the Rank 45 Zhou Yun in one move.

And looking at his relaxed manner, he hadn't even used his full strength.

If they really started fighting...

He didn't dare think about it.

Lin Feng sheathed his sword and looked at Zhou Tiannan.

"Who else wants to try?"

No one answered.

The Zhou Family retainers all lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.

Zhou Tianhao shrank behind Zhou Tiannan, his face pale.

Lin Feng's gaze bypassed the crowd and landed on him.

"Zhou Tianhao, you think hiding will make this go away?"

"Today, you must give me an explanation."

Zhou Tianhao trembled all over.

He looked at Zhou Tiannan, his voice shaking.

"Uncle..."

Zhou Tiannan took a deep breath.

He knew that today's matter could not be settled peacefully.

He looked up at Lin Feng.

"Young man, what exactly do you want?"

Lin Feng smiled.

"It's simple."

"First, hand over Zhou Tianhao."

"Second, compensate me for my losses."

"Third, make a public apology."

"Do these three things, and I can let the Zhou Family go today."

"Otherwise..."

He paused and gripped the dragon slaying sword tightly.

"Today, I'll flip your Zhou Family upside down!"

As his words fell.

The golden patterns on the dragon slaying sword began to glow.

The phantom of that flood dragon emerged once again.

It roared toward the sky!

The Zhou Family members' expressions changed drastically!

They could feel the terrifying pressure emanating from that sword!

That was a power capable of slaying legendary grade monsters!

Zhou Tiannan's face was livid.

He knew that today's battle could not be avoided.

He raised his hand, and crimson flames began to condense in his palm.

"Young man, since you're looking for death—"

"Then don't blame me!"
