99: Chapter 99: Leaving the dungeon carrying a human club! Today we're going to wipe out the Zhou family!

A flash of white light occurred.

Lin Feng appeared at the teleportation exit of the Orléans Instance.

Beneath his feet was a hard metal platform, and surrounding him was the familiar teleportation hall.

Sunlight streamed in from the high windows, feeling warm and pleasant.

Compared to the eerie and terrifying atmosphere inside the Dungeon, it was like two completely different worlds.

Lin Feng took a deep breath, feeling his entire body relax significantly.

But in the next second—

“Ah—!!!”

A scream shattered the tranquility of the teleportation hall.

It was a uniformed staff member, a woman in her early twenties. At this moment, her eyes were wide with terror, pointing at what Lin Feng was carrying in his hand, her face deathly pale.

Lin Feng looked down at what he was holding.

Inoue Nofuo, that Baga Country assassin who had lost his limbs, was being lugged around by him like a dead dog.

He was covered in blood, his face as white as paper, eyes half-open and half-closed, and a faint 'he-he' sound came from his throat.

It was indeed quite frightening.

“Don't scream,” Lin Feng frowned, “He's not even dead.”

The female staff member covered her mouth, her whole body trembling, unable to speak.

But her scream had already attracted everyone's attention.

In the hall, dozens of gazes simultaneously shifted toward Lin Feng.

Then, one by one, those gazes froze.

“That... That is...”

“Holy crap! Is that a person?!”

“No arms or legs... and still alive?!”

“Blood... so much blood...”

“He's carrying a person in his hand?!”

“It's Lin Feng! That S-Rank Explorer!”

“He's the one who took the Orléans Instance mutation mission! The one where three teams went missing!”

“He's out?! And carrying a person?!”

“Who is that person?!”

The sounds of discussion surged forward like a tide.

Lin Feng ignored those gazes and discussions.

Carrying Inoue Nofuo, he walked to the registration window.

Behind the window sat a middle-aged man wearing glasses.

Right now, that middle-aged man's eyes were wide and his mouth was agape as he stared at what was in Lin Feng's hand as if he had seen a ghost.

“Re... registration...” His voice was shaking.

Lin Feng placed his Explorer badge on the counter.

“The Orléans Instance mutation mission is complete.”

“The Dungeon has returned to normal and can be reopened.”

The middle-aged man mechanically took the badge and swiped it on the machine.

Information popped up on the screen.

【Explorer: Lin Feng】

【Rank: Level 43】

【Mission: Orléans Instance Mutation Investigation】

【Status: Completed】

【Mission Evaluation: ...】

【Mission Reward: 8 million points, S-Rank Contribution +100, Special Reward ×1】

The middle-aged man's hands were shaking as he looked at that information.

“Com... completed...”

He looked up at Lin Feng.

His gaze was like he was looking at a monster.

Three teams had gone missing, with fifteen people's lives unknown.

Everyone thought this mission was a suicide mission.

Yet he went in alone, and not only did he come out alive, but...

He even carried out a human torso?!

“That... Mr. Lin, this one in your hand is...”

The middle-aged man pointed at Inoue Nofuo and asked cautiously.

Lin Feng glanced down.

“Oh, a Baga Country assassin who tried to ambush me.”

“Level 59, A-Rank Talent, named something like Inoue Nofuo.”

“I'm keeping his dog life; it'll be useful.”

Middle-aged man: “...”

The hall instantly fell silent.

Everyone had heard Lin Feng's words.

Level 59?

A-Rank Talent?

Baga Country assassin?

Ambushed him?

And then got chopped into this human torso by him?

What kind of god-tier combat power is this?!

“Gulp—”

Someone swallowed their saliva.

That sound was exceptionally clear in the quiet hall.

Lin Feng put away his badge and turned to leave.

After a few steps, he looked back.

“Right, as for that special reward, I'll come back to collect it when I have time.”

“The Dungeon is normal now; you can send people in to check.”

After saying that, he unfolded his Wind Wings.

Hum—

Behind him, translucent cyan wings unfolded with a three-meter wingspan.

The sunlight hit the wings, refracting into rainbow-colored light.

With a gentle flap, Lin Feng's body lifted off the ground.

He hovered in mid-air.

He looked down at the people in the hall.

“What are you all staring for? Get back to what you were doing.”

Then, he soared into the sky!

Transforming into a streak of cyan light, he flew out through the window!

A dead silence filled the hall.

Everyone craned their necks, staring at that window.

Watching that figure disappear into the sky.

They didn't move for a long time.

“He... he can fly...”

Someone murmured.

“Duh, the man has wind-element skills...”

“That's not the point! The point is he's flying away while carrying a person!”

“Where is he going?”

“I don't know...”

“That person... that Baga Country assassin... what is he going to do with him?”

“No idea...”

“The Zhou Family... did he just mention the Zhou Family?”

“The Zhou Family?! Which Zhou Family?”

“How many Zhou Families are there in Donghai City? It's *that* Zhou Family!”

“Holy crap! He wouldn't be going to the Zhou Family, would he?!”

“No way... the Zhou Family is one of the three great families...”

“Is he crazy?!”

“He's not crazy... he's an S-Rank Explorer and a Deacon; he can mobilize the army...”

“Even so, he can't just barge through their front door, right?!”

“Who knows...”

The discussion boiled over once again.

But Lin Feng could no longer hear them.

He was flying high in the sky, the wind whistling in his ears.

White clouds drifted past him, and the sunlight spilled over his body, feeling warm.

Inoue Nofuo was being carried by him like a dead dog, swaying in the air.

“Cough... cough cough...”

Inoue Nofuo coughed up a mouthful of blood and struggled to open his eyes.

Seeing that he was high in the sky, he trembled in fear.

“You... where are you taking me...”

His voice was hoarse and weak, like a candle flame flickering in the wind.

Lin Feng glanced down at him.

“Taking you to learn the way.”

“Learn... learn what way?”

“The way to the Zhou Family.”

Inoue Nofuo's pupils constricted.

“You... you're going to the Zhou Family?!”

“Otherwise?”

“You're crazy! The Zhou Family has its own heritage! They have countless experts! They have military support! You going alone is just seeking death!”

Lin Feng laughed.

“Seeking death?”

“You, a Level 59 A-Rank Talent assassin, couldn't even kill me with an ambush.”

“What do you think the Zhou Family can do to me?”

Inoue Nofuo opened his mouth but couldn't speak.

It was true.

He was Level 59, had an A-Rank Talent, and was rich in assassination experience.

He had ambushed with full power, a blade piercing straight through the heart.

The result?

The other guy acted as if nothing had happened and backhandedly chopped him into a human torso.

Could those experts of the Zhou Family really stop such a monster?

He didn't know.

But he knew that today, he was undoubtedly dead.

“The... the Zhou Family is in the East District of Donghai City, at the foot of Cuiping Mountain.”

He gave up struggling and confessed honestly.

“It covers three hundred acres, with a main residence, side courtyards, a martial arts arena, an underground base...”

“The Family Head is Zhou Tianxiong, Level 80, S-Rank Talent 【Thunder Control】, legendary grade Physique 【Thunder God Body】.”

“Grand Elder Zhou Tiannan, Level 78, S-Rank Talent 【Flame Control】, legendary grade Physique 【Fire God Physique】.”

“Second Elder Zhou Tianbei, Level 75, A-Rank Talent 【Frost Control】, Prodigy Rank Physique 【Ice Jade Body】.”

“There are also over thirty consecrated experts, all above Level 60...”

“A guard force of five hundred, well-equipped and well-trained...”

Inoue Nofuo said it all in one breath and panted for a long time.

He looked at Lin Feng, wanting to see fear on that face.

But Lin Feng only nodded.

“Got it.”

Inoue Nofuo was stunned.

Got it?

That's it?

“You... aren't you afraid?”

“Afraid of what?”

“A Level 80 Family Head! A Level 75 Elder! Over thirty consecrated experts! Five hundred guards!”

“You're only Level 43; going there is just seeking death!”

Lin Feng looked down at him, his gaze calm.

“You just said you were Level 59, and you ambushed me but didn't kill me.”

“Do you think that Level 80 Family Head can one-shot me?”

Inoue Nofuo fell silent.

He couldn't.

Although Level 80 was much stronger than Level 59, it was still impossible to one-shot Lin Feng.

And with Lin Feng's recovery ability, as long as he wasn't one-shot, he could keep regenerating health.

He could grind the opponent to death.

“And...”

Lin Feng paused, a cold smile curling on his lips.

“Who said I'm alone?”

Inoue Nofuo was startled.

“You have helpers?”

Lin Feng didn't answer.

He just increased his speed and flew toward the East District.

...

Ten minutes later.

Lin Feng hovered in the air above a mountain area.

Below was a massive manor.

Built against the mountain, it covered at least three hundred acres.

Lush green trees provided shade, with pavilions, terraces, small bridges, and flowing water.

The main residence was a five-story Chinese-style building with carved beams and painted rafters, looking magnificent and imposing.

Side courtyards were scattered about in an orderly fashion.

On the martial arts arena, hundreds of people were training.

There were also several underground base entrances hidden among artificial mountains and woods.

Around the manor, there were high walls and deep moats, and security was tight.

There was a sentry post every few dozen meters, with searchlights sweeping back and forth.

“This is it,” Inoue Nofuo said.

Lin Feng nodded.

He took a deep breath, and then—

He dove down!

Like a meteor, he smashed toward the Zhou Family's main gate!

The wind howled!

Inoue Nofuo, being carried by him, was so scared he closed his eyes!

Boom!!!

Lin Feng smashed heavily onto the open ground in front of the Zhou Family's main gate!

A large crater three meters in diameter was smashed into the ground!

Debris flew everywhere, and dust filled the air!

The four guards at the gate were sent flying by the shockwave!

They slammed into the walls, coughing up blood!

“Enemy attack—!!!”

A sharp alarm sounded throughout the entire manor!

Countless people poured out from everywhere!

The guard force from the martial arts arena grabbed their weapons and rushed over!

The consecrated experts in the side courtyards appeared one after another!

Inside the main residence, several powerful Auras were awakening!

Lin Feng stood in the center of the crater, holding Inoue Nofuo in one hand and the dragon slaying sword in the other.

He looked up at the magnificent main residence.

A cold smile curled on his lips.

“Zhou Tianhao, come out and meet your death!”
