101: crippling Xu Feng's golden left hand

Sure enough, the shop owner had just finished speaking.

Xu Feng arrived at the shop together with the so-called Young Master Yang, Yang Zhengchu, followed by several lackeys.

This Yang Zhengchu cut a majestic figure, exuding an air of arrogance and rebellion on his face behind a pair of sunglasses.

“Xu Feng, I've long heard that you possess great powers and can appraise antiques and stone gambling like a god. Today, let me see it for myself.” Yang Zhengchu put his arm around Xu Feng's shoulders, acting like an old friend and maintaining a high-and-mighty posture.

“Young Master Yang is too kind; I only know a thing or two,” Xu Feng replied modestly with a slight smile, though he felt helpless inside.

He wasn't being genuinely modest or low-key; he was forced to be this way, purely because Ling Xian had terrified him.

In the original plot, Xu Feng was supposed to be the one leading everything, but now he had become Yang Zhengchu's lackey.

Just as their conversation ended, Xu Feng saw someone he would never forget in this lifetime: Ling Xian.

“Young Master Yang, hello. I am Leng Yunyan of the Donghai Leng Family...” Seeing Yang Zhengchu, Leng Yunyan wanted to seek a partnership.

Unfortunately, Yang Zhengchu's interests lay elsewhere. The moment he saw Leng Yunyan's stunning face, he wanted to lean in closer.

Fortunately, Leng Yunyan stepped back, preventing Yang Zhengchu from getting his way.

“Oh, beautiful, a partnership? Come, let's find a nice place to have a good talk.”

At this point, anyone could hear Yang Zhengchu's true intentions.

Leng Yunyan was naturally unwilling, but being on someone else's turf, she couldn't say anything too harsh.

At this moment, it was Qu Shuiyun's turn to step in.

“We cannot afford Young Master Yang's 'face.' It seems this partnership won't be happening today.”

Xu Feng leaned into Yang Zhengchu's ear and whispered, “Young Master Yang, I'm afraid it's because of that person.”

Yang Zhengchu was taken aback, then noticed Leng Yunyan observing Ling Xian's expression. He immediately understood that Leng Yunyan had someone she liked.

However, he happened to like women who already had boyfriends.

“Kid, where are you from? I heard you're the one who provoked my brother Xu Feng and even injured him?” Yang Zhengchu used Xu Feng's name to intimidate Ling Xian.

Unfortunately, Ling Xian didn't fall for it.

He delivered a slap!

Slap!

“Which family's trash are you? You dare look for trouble with me? Tired of living, aren't you?” Ling Xian acted even more arrogant and overbearing than Yang Zhengchu, looking more like a profligate scion than anyone else.

Having seen Yang Zhengchu get slapped, his subordinates were naturally terrified and rushed forward together, but with Mo Xueer by his side, how could she let these people get close?

A figure flashed by, and in an instant, all of these Yang Family bodyguards were on the ground, unable to get up.

The scene spiraled out of control!

Beating a member of the Yang Family on their own turf was a direct slap to the Yang Family's face.

“Ling Xian, you're crazy! Leave quickly, go as far as you can, it's best if you return to Donghai immediately!” Leng Yunyan ignored her grievances with Ling Xian and stepped forward anxiously to warn him.

“Do you have any idea what the Yang Family's status is in Jiangnan? This isn't Donghai; even the Three Great Families of Donghai can't compare to the Yang Family!”

“Are you worried about me?” Ling Xian gave a wicked smile, completely ignoring the threat of the Yang Family.

“You! Even at a time like this, you're still joking around?” Leng Yunyan was angry, annoyed, and helpless.

“Alright, Yunyan, since Little Xian did this, he must have a plan,” Qu Shuiyun stepped forward to comfort her.

Leng Yunyan sighed and thought of her good friend Xu Xinyou, signaling to her with her eyes.

“Good friend, help me out.”

Xu Xinyou nodded in understanding.

The Xu Family might be slightly inferior to the Yang Family, but in this part of Jiangnan, she was confident she could reach a point where the Yang Family wouldn't dare act lightly.

“I'll consider this as returning the favor to Ling Xian from yesterday; I'll quit after this.”

Xu Xinyou made excuses for her actions.

She didn't notice at all how her attitude toward Ling Xian had shifted.

Meanwhile, Xu Feng was stunned, then realized what was happening and laughed inwardly, “This kid Ling Xian really is a profligate scion, actually causing trouble on Yang Family territory. This is going to be a good show.”

“Kid, you wait! Once my Yang Family people arrive, I'll make sure you're skinned alive!” Yang Zhengchu clutched his distorted cheek and threatened viciously.

“Unless you compete with my brother Xu Feng. If you win, I'll naturally let you go. If you lose, leave a hand behind! The one you just used.”

Yang Zhengchu suddenly remembered he was supposed to test Xu Feng's abilities today. Thinking of Xu Feng's powerful Appraisal Skills, he felt a thrill of pleasure as if he controlled the rules of the game.

Of course, even if Ling Xian really won, he didn't plan on letting him go; it was just an excuse to stall for time, fearing Ling Xian might escape.

“My Yang Family runs a stone gambling venue. You will compete in stone gambling with my brother Xu Feng. Each of you picks three raw stones to cut open. Whoever has the highest total value wins, how about it?”

Yang Zhengchu was full of confidence, believing Ling Xian would agree.

On Yang Family territory, no one dared to disobey the Yang Family's rules.

Xu Feng's eyes lit up upon hearing this; this was exactly what he wanted.

First, he could prove his ability.

Second, he could crush and humiliate Ling Xian.

“Idiot!” Ling Xian refused without hesitation, his gaze looking at Yang Zhengchu as if he were a complete moron.

He wasn't afraid of the Yang Family's retaliation, so why would he agree to a boring bet?

Besides, if they really competed, one use of his Appraisal Skill would crush them in minutes. There was no challenge at all; it was boring.

“Kid, you!” Yang Zhengchu hadn't finished his sentence.

“Xueer!” Ling Xian spoke first.

Hearing the command, a sound of breaking air rang out. Mo Xueer instantly flashed in front of Xu Feng and pinned down his left hand.

“Crack!”

A crisp sound rang out!

The sound of a bone breaking was clearly audible.

His veins were also severed, and blood flowed incessantly.

“It's ruined! My left hand is ruined!” Xu Feng wailed, his entire body contorted in agony.

At this moment, his mind went blank, his eyes grew cloudy, and then a faint golden light flickered.

“I see, Ling Xian knew about my ability from the start. He knew about my Golden Left Hand, and he came here specifically to set a trap for me!” Xu Feng realized in his heart, “Was it because I sent Fat Nine to cause trouble yesterday? No, this is a conspiracy, a trap targeting me!”

“It was only a matter of time!”

Xu Feng muttered to himself. Everything became clear. He instantly reached into his robe with a trembling hand, took out the secret medicine Zhao Qingfeng had given him, and swallowed it in one gulp.

The bitterness entering his throat was nothing compared to the heart-piercing pain in his left hand.

As the medicine took effect, his strength gradually exploded.

Early Stage Four... Early Stage Five... Mid Stage Five... Late Stage Five!

It only stopped once it reached the Late Stage of the Fifth Rank.

This secret medicine was no ordinary item, but it shouldn't have been able to bridge nearly two major realms. It was mainly Xu Feng's providence and the Golden Left Hand bloodline in his body that were playing their roles.

“Ling Xian, I want you dead!” Xu Feng roared, his figure turning into an afterimage as he charged at Ling Xian.

The Flying Fox Palm condensed in his hand. The palm strike he unleashed was as majestic as a rainbow; even an ordinary Grandmaster would have to avoid its edge.

Slap!

A crisp slapping sound echoed throughout the entire Stone Gambling Establishment.

Xu Feng was sent flying by a single slap from Ling Xian.

“Pfft!” Xu Feng spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes gradually clearing, “How is this possible?”

Xu Feng's fury showed his divine might, but after one slap, his mind was clear.
