Chapter 264：Regret

"Come on, let's do it together. Why are you all standing there doing nothing?" 

Lin Feng looked at the Lin family crowd and said calmly, "Lin family members, your eyes flickered for a moment. Are you all still going to attack together?" They dare to attack together? They should know better than that! 

Such a powerful army, if attacking simultaneously, could wipe out the Lin family in an instant and kill everyone of them. How dare they come together to fight? 

"Grandmaster, you are quite imposing. When you came here, you ordered everyone to come up together. Now, why are you still standing there in a daze?" 

Lin Feng's lips curled into a mocking smile. The Patriarch of the Celestial Sect's face was stiff, his lips quivering slightly. He couldn't utter a word. In this moment, it was Lin Feng who controlled the fates of all of them. 

"The Great Elder is extremely powerful. With just one move, he wounded my father and expelled us both from the clan. He is truly formidable. Now, the Great Elder has the opportunity to display his might once again." 

When Lin Feng saw that Lin Rui didn't reply, he continued to speak. On that day, his father, Lin Hai, with his powerful martial arts prowess, intimidated all the rivals. No one dared to fight him. Even this Supreme Elder Lin Rui, who was domineering, stepped forward and injured Lin Rui. They were expelled from the clan. With an imposing presence, Lin Feng could never forget him. 

"Expel from the family!" 

When the crowd heard these words, their expressions became extremely complicated. Yes, this commander who commanded tens of thousands of cavalry and was extremely powerful was once one of their own, the Lin family members. However, he was expelled from the family by the Lin family. 

Lin Feng, he is out there. Relying on his own strength, he has grown stronger step by step. In no time, he killed the Nine Elders and Lin Haoran. Moreover, he became the leader of an iron-blooded army and was highly respected by thousands of people. Not to mention the small Lin Family. Nowadays, Lin Feng can wipe out the entire Yangzhou City with a wave of his hand. 

But even such an extraordinary genius was expelled from the Lin family by them. Forced to leave the family was such a cruel irony! 

However, the reality is so cruel that it is hard to accept. Lin family has produced a talent that is once-in-a-thousand-years rare, but he was abandoned instead. As a result, he harbors hatred towards Lin family. 

"Suppose Lin Feng were still in the Lin family, what would be the outcome?" 

Many people have come up with such an idea: If Lin Feng had not been expelled from the family, with his current power, he could have taken over Yangzhou City with a wave of his hand. The entire city would have been theirs, the Lin family's. This has always been their dream, to replace the Nalan family and take the lead. However, they have pinned their hopes on Lin Qian instead. 

It turned out that Yangzhou City was so close to them that it should have been within easy reach. But one wrong step led to a series of wrong moves. 

Lin Rui looked at Lin Feng, speechless. How could he explain? He expelled Lin Feng from the family. He, Lin Rui, was blind. 

"Since you don't speak, I'll do the talking for you, Lin Rui. Here are two options for you. Either you join me and fight together, or you fight me alone. If you win, I'll withdraw my troops immediately." 

When Lin Feng saw that Lin Rui remained silent, he spoke again. As soon as his words ended, the eyes of the crowd narrowed. 

They didn't expect that Lin Feng would make such a choice. Lin Rui, having the chance to fight Lin Feng, would withdraw if he won. If Lin Feng lost, he would withdraw his troops. 

Lin Rui is the Supreme Elder of the Lin Clan. His power is extremely strong. It is said that he has almost reached the state of Xuanwu. Every strike he makes contains boundless power. As for Lin Feng, how old is he? Although he has extraordinary talent, he is no match for Lin Rui in a one-on-one confrontation. 

"Lin Feng, being young and impetuous, has a strong natural talent. Now that he has taken control of tens of thousands of cavalry troops, he is bound to become arrogant." 

Lin Jiazhi secretly thought to himself, in their opinion, even if Lin Feng's talent was the best, it still couldn't possibly defeat Lin Rui. An old monster who had lived for over seventy years, how could he lose to Lin Feng? 

"Lin Feng, are you really saying that?" 

Lin Ru had not yet spoken when Lin Daoba suddenly spoke up impatiently. With such a powerful army, they dare not even think about the matter of fighting. If Lin Feng wanted them to die, it would be a piece of cake. The only thing he could hope for was Lin Feng's withdrawal of troops. 

Slowly, his gaze shifted. Lin Feng's eyes fell upon Lin Daoba's figure. A hint of sarcastic smile was on his lips. 

"Sorry, you Li Lin Daoba, you're not included. Whether I win or Lin Rui wins, you Li Lin Daoba will die." 

Lin Feng murmured softly, causing Lin Daoba's gaze to freeze for a moment. His heart instantly turned cold, and a chill spread continuously over his body. 

Whether it's Lin Fengsheng or Lin Ruisheng, he is Lin Daoba's subordinate and will surely die. Lin Feng, you must kill him. 

"Of course, I'll also give you a chance. If you can kill the Supreme Elder, I'll spare your life today." 

Lin Feng said with a half-smile, "Let me explain." Lin Daobai's gaze narrowed for a moment, then he glanced at Lin Rui beside him. 

"It's impossible! I'm Lin Daoba, not someone like that! The Supreme Elder is my Lin Daoba's senior. How could I possibly attack him?" Lin Daoba spoke with firm resolve and righteousness, and the crowd immediately nodded in agreement. 

"Diversion!" 

Just at that moment, a fierce shout rang out. A cold light flashed in Lin Daoba's hand. A sharp and gleaming dagger pierced straight at Lin Rui's back, swift and forceful, showing no mercy at all. 

The eyes of the crowd all narrowed. Lin Daoba's words were still ringing in their ears, but his actions had already proved his duplicity. To save his own skin, Lin Daoba wouldn't hesitate to resort to any means. 

"Who dares to say so!" 

Lin Rui roared in anger. Just as Lin Daomu thrust out his dagger, a cold and fierce icy aura burst forth from his body. It was extremely powerful and bone-chilling. The Frost Spirit Soul appeared behind him. Instantly, Lin Daomu's dagger and the hand holding it were frozen stiff. 

"Get out!" 

There was another fierce shout. Lin Rui's icy palm power struck Lin Daoba's chest, covering his entire body with white frost, as if he were about to be frozen solid. 

"Old fox." 

Lin Feng sneered coldly. As soon as Lin Baoda made a move, Lin Rui also struck at the same time. He had been keeping an eye on Lin Baoda all along. 

In this world, there are too many people who will do anything to pursue martial arts and survive. Lin Rui has lived for over seventy years. How could he be so stupid as to believe Lin Daoba's few words? 

"Lin Daoba, I haven't been treating you badly. But you dare to attack me unexpectedly. So don't expect me to be gentle with you." 

Lin Rui said coldly, "The chill in my palm is intensifying." 

"Father." 

"Lin Rui, you dare!" 

Two thunderous roars were heard simultaneously. They were from Lin Qian and her brother. Their bodies rushed towards Lin Rui at the same time. 

"Get out of here." 

Lin Rui waved his hand, sending a chill through the air. At this moment, he couldn't care less about Lin Qian. Right now, all he cared about was his own survival. 

"Kill me." Lin Rui's face was twisted in a terrifying manner, the icy aura was released to the fullest extent. Lin Daoba's frozen body twitched twice. Instantly, his life was frozen in ice, and he was frozen to death. 

Lin Daoba, in his quest for the position of the head of the Lin family, resorted to all kinds of unscrupulous means. He even committed fratricide and betrayed his own family members. However, in the end, he ended up with such a tragic outcome. 

"Father..." 

Two mournful roars rang out. Lin Rui remained expressionless and slowly turned around, causing the crowd to feel a slight chill in their hearts. 

Lin Family, is this really a family? Why are they so cold-blooded? 

Lin Daoba, wanting to kill Lin Rui, but Lin Rui, in retaliation, killed Lin Daoba. In the face of life and death, all the ugliness was exposed. 

Lin Rui looked at Lin Feng, took a step forward and crossed the stage to stand in front of him. He said, "Lin Daoba has taken his own life. I'll kill him for you. Also, Lin Feng, your talent is so outstanding. I admit that I was blind-sided by myself back then. Today, I'll fight you myself. If I lose, I'll consider myself dead." 

Lin Ru's words were delivered with great dignity and composure. However, Lin Feng's gaze remained completely unaltered, not showing the slightest sign of fluctuation. The old fox was indeed an old fox. He spoke so sweetly just to make him feel pity. This Supreme Elder had indeed lived a long life without being in vain. He was shrewd in his thinking, but his nature was extremely cold. This could be clearly seen from the fact that he didn't hesitate at all when killing Lin Daoba. 

"Needless to say, it's not something to be said in such a sweet tone. You can rest assured. If you win, I'll tell you to withdraw your troops and you'll do as I say. If you lose, it won't be because you choose to die, but because you have no choice but to die." 

Lin Feng said simply and calmly, "Fight!" 

"I'm about to strike. Be careful." Lin Rui nodded. The cold ice spirit burst out wildly, cold and bone-chilling. As he took a step forward, the cold ice qi rushed towards Lin Feng. 

Lin Feng shook his head in his heart. "Fight if you want to, but Lin Rui doesn't seem to forget to be polite even now." 

With a swift leap of his right foot, a torrent of extremely sharp and powerful sword energy surged forth, fiercely attacking at Lin Rui as he reached the spot. At that moment, Lin Feng's hand slowly slashed out. 

The setting sun is fading away, the hero is getting old. There is no more brilliance left. 

Looking at Lin Feng's hands, Lin Rui felt a strange sensation and a sense of desolation in his heart that was characteristic of old age. 

"The Sword of the Setting Sun!" 

Lin Feng raised his hand as if it were a sword, and with one swift strike, a torrent of blood spurted out. One of his arms shot up into the air. 

With one stroke of the sword, he severed the arm of the Supreme Elder Lin Rui!
