The thundering of hooves grew louder as it approached the city gate. The arrows in the hands of the soldiers below the gate were ultimately not released, slowly lowered, as all watched the galloping figure approaching.
"Leader Ren."
Lin Feng called out, his body trembling slightly as he leaped onto his warhorse, scanning the soldiers with a glance.
"Everyone, please cease."
Lin Feng spoke up. He was well aware that if the crowd released this arrow, there would be no turning back. Attacking the imperial city constituted rebellion and would inevitably lead to annihilation.
Those behind the curtains cared little for the lives of these soldiers; their only concern was their own interests.
"Lin Feng, hurry, the general's time is running out."
Ren Qingkuang showed a hint of urgency. Lin Feng nodded slightly. These days, he dared not slack off in his journey, riding through the night just to arrive at the imperial city at this moment.
Looking up at the city tower, Lin Feng declared loudly, "Lin Feng is here, open the gates."
Lin Feng knew that while Snow Moon was shaping him, they were also trying to kill him. However, they only dared to attempt this at the edge of Snow Moon's territory. Outside the imperial city, under everyone's gaze, if Snow Moon's army dared to kill him, it would undoubtedly be a slap in the face to those above.
Indeed, upon hearing Lin Feng's name, hesitation appeared in the eyes of the soldiers on the city gate. They slowly lowered their bows and arrows. This scene made Mon Chong's face turn icy, his gaze fixed firmly on the figure below.
"Lin Feng!"
A faint voice escaped from the corner of Mon Chong's mouth. His tone was cold. "Lin Feng has been captured by Mo Yue. His appearance here must mean he has become a traitor to Mo Yue. He cannot be allowed into the city. Moreover, these rebels dare to surround the imperial city and aim arrows at us. They must be killed. Prepare to shoot."
"Hmm?"
Lin Feng furrowed his brows. Shoot? Traitor?
Such shameless reasons. Even the soldiers on the city wall were stunned, including Mon Gufeng. However, orders were orders. Those soldiers still raised their bows and arrows, aiming at the crowd below.
"Are you daring?"
At this moment, Princess Duan Xinye also mounted her warhorse, her eyes narrowed.
The princess, her royal highness.
Mon Chong's eyes also narrowed, his lips trembling slightly.
Previously, he had high hopes for Princess Duan Xinye. But now, after Lin Feng crippled his cultivation, he was a useless man. There was no possibility between him and Princess Duan Xinye anymore.
Moreover, he vaguely understood the struggles above. Thinking about various things, a grim expression flashed in Mon Chong's eyes.
"Shoot!"
With a downward wave of his hand, his gaze was extremely dark.
As Mon Chong's words fell, Mon Gufeng behind him turned slightly pale. It's over...
"No shooting allowed."
Mon Gufeng angrily shouted. Although there were those who wanted Princess Duan Xinye and Lin Feng not to return to the imperial city, now that Lin Feng was outside the city, and Duan Xinye had returned, even if you wanted to kill them, you had to restrain yourself. You couldn't openly attack, otherwise, it would be a major taboo.
However, Mon Chong, in his reckless determination, waved his hand. If he killed Lin Feng and Duan Xinye, someone behind the curtains would be satisfied, but there were still dissatisfied people.
Lin Feng was fine, but Duan Xinye, a princess, if you killed the king's daughter, who would bear that crime?
Anyone with a bit of brains could think of this problem. However, Mon Chong, blinded by hatred and jealousy, still waved his hand.
"Swish, swish..."
Several arrows whistled through the air, Lin Feng's gaze turned icy, and he leaped into the air, his body soaring, transforming his palms into swords, continuously slashing, instantly shattering those arrows.
"So audacious, even aiming to kill the princess. Despicable."
Lin Feng sneered, his body trembling in the void. He headed straight for the city tower, and at the same time, Ren Qingkuang and other strong individuals lifted off into the air, heading directly for the top of the city tower.
"Attack!"
Lin Feng's palm swept through the void, and immediately those who had shot arrows were directly slain, unable to react in time.
Others were stopped by Mon Gufeng's voice and didn't act. Lin Feng and the others easily ascended to the top of the city gate.
"It was you who ordered the shooting, intending to kill the princess?"
Lin Feng's gaze fixed on Mon Chong, his eyes cold, it was this guy again.
Seeing Lin Feng's gaze, Mon Chong's body trembled slightly. He thought that when he faced Lin Feng again, he could be as bold and confident as before, personally ordering Lin Feng's death. However, at this moment, when Lin Feng truly appeared before him, just one glance extinguished all his arrogance and ambition, leaving only fear.
He feared Lin Feng, truly feared him. The last time at Xiangsi Forest, Lin Feng spared no effort, disregarding consequences, to cripple his cultivation and didn't even let him escape.
His steps retreated slightly, and he found himself even afraid of Lin Feng's gaze.
Mon Gufeng stepped forward, his gaze fixed on the young man before him. This was the first time he had seen Lin Feng, but there were many stories about Lin Feng that had reached his ears. Of course, what impressed him the most was when Lin Feng crippled his son, Mon Chong, making his son a useless person.
"Mon Chong didn't mean it. He didn't recognize the princess. I will make him apologize to the princess."
Mon Gufeng, in order to protect himself and Mon Chong, couldn't afford to resent Lin Feng now. He spoke, needing to minimize the situation and then disappear.
"Not intentional? Didn't know?" Lin Feng sneered. "Just now, the princess stood on her warhorse and shouted loudly. Everyone in the city saw it with their own eyes. Yet Mon Chong still ordered the arrows to be released, attempting to kill the princess. Mon Chong, deserves death."
"Mon Chong didn't see the princess," Mon Gufeng explained.
Lin Feng had no time to argue with him. With a step forward, a chill emanated, his murderous intent revealed. If he didn't kill Mon Chong, how could he establish authority?
There were figures flickering on the city gate, all of them reaching Mon Chong. But Lin Feng's lips curled into a cold smile, his voice icy, "Mon Chong wants to kill the princess, it's a capital offense. Those who protect him are also accomplices. I, Lin Feng, have been tasked with protecting the princess. For the sake of her safety, anyone who poses a threat to her, I will kill. Whoever obstructs, I will kill them too."
Lin Feng's voice at this moment was extremely domineering. Anyone threatening the princess would be killed.
"You dare."
Mon Gufeng's face turned iron-gray. No matter what Mon Chong did, he was still his son. This city gate was his territory. Lin Feng was arrogantly brandishing his status as the princess's protector. How could he not be angry?
"I say kill, and I'll kill whoever obstructs," Lin Feng's voice and posture were domineering. As he stepped forward, a violent purple aura burst out, and someone lunged at Lin Feng, but before they could reach him, Lin Feng's palm slashed down like a sword, instantly killing the person. He killed whoever he said to kill.
This scene made the other soldiers tremble slightly. The violent purple aura burst out, and no one dared to throw their lives away. In an instant, the purple tentacles carrying the power of destruction surged forward. The crowd retreated, even Mon Gufeng backed away. The purple lake contained the power of corrosion and destruction. Just a touch made him feel like his hand was melting.
Figures flickered, and the crowd found that Mon Chong was already in Lin Feng's hands. As quick as lightning, the crowd couldn't react.
With his hand gripping Mon Chong's throat, Lin Feng's body trembled slightly. He reached the edge of the city tower, lifting Mon Chong with one hand, dangling him in the air. As long as he let go, Mon Chong would fall from the city tower.
At this moment, Mon Chong's face was deathly pale, devoid of any trace of blood, only fear remained.
"Lin Feng, you dare!"
Mon Gufeng's face was pale, and he shouted furiously, but all he saw was Lin Feng's mocking smile.
"Blood Command, obey!"
Lin Feng shouted, and immediately the soldiers outside the city gate angrily responded, "Yes!"
The voice shook the space. At this moment, Lin Feng was like a general of the three armies, awe-inspiring. His every word and action ignited the blood of the legion outside the imperial city.
"Bows ready."
Lin Feng shouted again, and the soldiers outside the city gate prepared their bows, their movements uniform and precise.
"Mon Chong, ordered to kill the princess, unforgivable crime, no mercy!"
Lin Feng shouted angrily, then slowly lowered his hand, and Mon Chong's body slid down the city tower.
"Swoosh, swoosh..."
Arrows whistled through the air, Mon Chong screamed in despair, closing his eyes in despair, *liquid continuously flowing out.
Then, the endless arrows accurately pierced him, instantly tearing his body apart, pinning Mon Chong to the city wall.
At this moment, everyone was shocked and speechless. Overbearing, unparalleled arrogance.
Lin Feng, this was the renowned and dominant Lin Feng of today!
