Chapter 041：Stab in the dark

Inside the house, Lin Feng sat quietly on the bed. The latent dark spirit power allowed him to still have extremely acute hearing during his cultivation. No matter how faint the sound was in the entire tavern, as long as he wanted, he could hear it. 

The surging primordial qi of heaven and earth continuously poured into Lin Feng's body. A pure white gong qi was faintly visible, as if about to burst out of his body. This was the scene of the peak of the ninth stage of the Qi Martial Realm. 

When this pulsating Qi can burst forth from within the body, it marks the transition from the Qi Martial realm to the Spirit Martial realm. At that point, one can kill enemies from a distance of a hundred paces and eliminate foes without being noticed. 

At this moment, outside the inn, a group of figures were moving swiftly towards the inn and then entering it. Their movements were light and agile, as if they were ghosts. Moreover, all of these people were carrying the powerful Dongba Horn Bow. This kind of horn bow has an extremely strong force. People at the level of Qi Wu could pour all their strength into the horn bow. 

"Room No. 2 of the 'Di' Building. We'd better not disturb him. It would be troublesome otherwise." From the midst of the crowd emerged a figure. With a sweep of his fan, all the people who had appeared immediately headed for the staircase, rushing straight to Room No. 2 of the 'Di' Building. 

After a moment, more than a dozen figures all appeared outside Room 2 of the Ground Floor. Their movements were extremely agile and light, making only a tiny amount of noise that was barely audible. These people's strength was clearly extraordinary. 

"Click... Click..." The sounds of drawing bows rang out. One could see that all these people had taken the horn bows from their backs and were now straining their arms to draw the bows and place arrows on them. 

"Release." 

"Beep, beep, beep!" 

The quivering bowstring made a series of buzzing sounds. The powerful force caused the bow and arrow to break through the door directly and then a rumbling sound could be heard coming from inside. 

"Go in." The person leading the way shouted again, and immediately the crowd kicked open the door and rushed in through it. 

The room was empty. The exquisite wooden bed, shattered into its frame by the powerful arrows, was already in a shapeless state. However, there seemed to be no human figure on the bed. 

Two figures stepped into the room first, their gazes alert. 

"Clashing swords and thunderous reverberations." 

A cold voice rang out abruptly. The cold swordlight flashed and vanished. Thunder rumbled, and with two agonized cries, the two figures who had entered collapsed directly. 

Lin Feng knew this when these people stepped into the inn. But at first he didn't pay much attention. It was only when he heard the words "Ground Floor Building 2" in a daze that he began to wake up. It seemed that the person was coming towards him. 

Therefore, Lin Feng had been hiding beside the entrance door, leaning against the wall. This was a blind spot. Before the enemy entered the room, they couldn't possibly hurt him, and it was also convenient for him to carry out an ambush. 

When Lin Feng saw the arrows flying in one after another, each accompanied by a loud whistling sound, shooting into the room, he secretly felt that his luck was good. If he hadn't discovered in time and hidden himself in this dead corner, he would have been killed directly. 

However, while feeling fortunate, Lin Feng's heart was filled with a cold-blooded murderous intent. He didn't spare any mercy and killed the two people outright without hesitation. 

"Who is it that wants to kill oneself?" 

Lin Feng once again unleashed a fierce and powerful sword strike. Several agonized cries were heard from outside. At the same time, Fu Guangliang's "Floating Light and Rapid Movement" technique was activated. Before the people outside could react, Lin Feng leapt out of the window. 

"Chase!" The leader of the group had a stern expression on his face and roared in anger. The crowd transformed into wild horses in the wind, one after another leaping out of the windows and landing on the ground. 

On a rainy night, the sky and the earth were dimly lit, with very little light. If not for Wu Xiu's extremely good eyesight, it would have been very difficult to see the way clearly, especially when running at high speed. 

However, this didn't have much of an impact on Lin Feng. With the Dark Spirit Soul, he not only had his cultivation talent enhanced a lot, but also had extremely acute senses. Even in the dim night, he could still see the distant road. 

The crowd behind also followed closely, and the sound of their footsteps trampling on the puddles on the ground carried far away. 

"Whirr..." 

Lin Feng turned his head aside. A flying arrow passed by his ear. The powerful wind even made him feel a sharp pain in his ear hook. 

"The strength of the person who shot this arrow must be at the level of the 9th stage of the Air and Martial Realm. Even compared with the arrow shot by Liu Fei, it is not much weaker." Lin Feng felt a chill in his heart. Liu Fei's strength was at the 9th stage of the Air and Martial Realm, and he also had a powerful Arrow Martial Spirit. The power of the arrow he shot was beyond doubt, but the arrow shot by the person behind him could even be compared with Liu Fei's. Clearly, his strength was extremely powerful. 

Lin Feng never expected that in the middle of the night, there would be such a group of people coming to assassinate him and trying to take his life. 

"Beep, beep..." 

Two more arrows shot through the air, and Lin Feng's body slightly bent forward to dodge the incoming arrows. His doubts grew deeper. These people were not only extremely powerful but also seemed to have received training. The arrows they shot were not only extremely accurate but also timed perfectly, one after another. 

"No, if we keep going like this, sooner or later I'll be exhausted and get hit by an arrow." Lin Feng dodged another arrow and thought to himself in his heart, "The strength of these people is mostly at the level of the Ninefold Stage of the Martial Spirit Realm. Moreover, they are proficient in using the arrow furnaces and have a perfect coordination. Even though I have an advantage in my footwork and lightness, I still can't escape from this group of people." 

While running at a high speed, the muddy water splashed on Lin Feng's clothes. The continuous falling rain had soaked him through. On one side of his body, he dodged an arrow. Then, his steps suddenly stopped and he turned around instantly. 

"Skimming the surface." 

"Kill." 

At this very moment, Lin Feng not only stopped his advance but also used his martial arts skills to retreat. With a flash of his sword, a swordlight mixed with thunderclaps emerged in the rain. A stream of blood sprayed into the air and then merged with the raindrops. 

Suddenly, the person who was running at the front was caught off guard. In an instant, Lin Feng's sword struck and killed him. 

The others quickly moved aside and retreated to a distance of over ten meters. Cold, calculating glances were fixed on Lin Feng, with a hint of wariness. This handsome young man had already killed several of them. 

Through the falling raindrops, Lin Feng looked at the group of people in front of him. Eventually, his gaze fell upon one person in the middle of the crowd. This person was wearing a black gauze coat and in his hand, he was holding a folding fan. 

"Na... Lan... Hai!" Lin Feng's expression was cold and composed, pronouncing each syllable distinctly. The owner of this folding fan was none other than Na Lan Hai. 

Looking around the crowd, Lin Feng sneered coldly, "There are so many powerful people here. Only a few families in Yangzhou City have such influence. But considering your background, you shouldn't be able to mobilize so many powerful people, should you?" 

Nalan Hai stood in the midst of the crowd. After listening to Lin Feng's words, a trace of mockery appeared in his eyes. 

"Everyone says that the son of Lin Family's head, Lin Hai, is a loser. However, the Lin Feng I know is not only exceptionally talented but also has extraordinary adaptability. He is intelligent and quick-witted. It's just a pity..." 

" What's the pity? " 

"Unfortunately, even if you are a genius, no one will know it." Nanlan Hai said coldly. "Dead people, no matter how brilliant they are, they are still just dead people." 

"Just because of a minor dispute, Nalan Feng hates me so much that she sent out the city lord's army at night to try to kill me?" Lin Feng's tone carried a hint of mockery. These people were well-trained and not ordinary martial artists. Seeing Nalan Hai now, Lin Feng naturally knew that these were the private troops of the city lord's mansion. They were the city lord's personal guards. 

However, what Lin Feng couldn't figure out was that Nalan Feng had been disrespectful to him first. Therefore, he didn't show any courtesy to Nalan Feng either. In his opinion, even if Nalan Feng was still holding a grudge, he wouldn't have gone so far as to want his life. But Lin Feng seemed to have miscalculated. Nalan Feng not only wanted his life but also didn't hesitate to send someone to assassinate him at night. 

"Such a high and noble status for Princess Nalan! How could you dare to insult her? Lin Feng, you are not worth dying for. Because of your disrespect towards Princess Nalan, Nalan Hai roared, his voice calm and composed, as if everything was so natural and reasonable, as if it was the most logical thing in the world." 

"Princess Nanlan? How presumptuous of her!" Lin Feng sneered. A city lord's daughter, though of high status, still couldn't be called a princess. He never expected that Nanlan Feng would be so arrogant and self-centered. This trait was no less than that of Lin Qian. 

"Since you want to kill me, then go ahead and do it." The dark spirit-like phantom appeared behind Lin Feng, blending into the darkness, silent and invisible, without the slightest trace of breath, and no one even knew that Lin Feng had released his spirit power. 

It's no big deal to die. Lin Feng, on the other hand, wants to see how these people can make him not care about his death. 

The dark spirit soul merged with the darkness, as if giving Lin Feng a pair of eyes. At this moment, Lin Feng even felt that everything around him was presented in his mind. Within the area of his perception, no matter what kind of movement occurred anywhere, it couldn't escape his awareness. 

"Whoosh..." 

The arrow shot out of the void passed by Lin Feng's ear. Lin Feng merely nodded his head slightly. This scene made the martial cultivator who shot the arrow frown. He felt a chill in his heart and was horrified by the calmness of those bright eyes in the dark night.
