Demon-Wraith Plagued World: From Commoner to Supreme - Chapter 20 - Harvest, Zhao Sheng Returns

By now, Le and his four accomplices had all been taken down by Lin Feng alone!

Lin Feng looked at the corpses, the blood flowing like a river. His heart was much calmer than the first time.

He couldn’t help but reflect that just a few days ago, he was merely a frail young man who couldn’t even truss a chicken. But now, he had crushed Le-Ge of the Green Snake Society, who had been oppressing the Shantytown residents with impunity!

Thanks to the panel, he had achieved in a few days what had taken his father, Lin Shi, years to accomplish in Martial Arts progress. Was this the power of a cheat?

Now, he had the strength to support his family; at least they wouldn’t go hungry anymore!

But what about Yu?

Thinking of this, Lin Feng hesitated to look at Lin Yu, unwilling to face the reality. He lowered his head, tears streaming down.

He felt he had let his brother down. If only he had left a bit later, Yu wouldn’t have died!

“Yu, I’m so sorry!”

Lin Feng couldn’t help but cry out.

“Big brother?”

At that moment, due to the earlier collision with Le, somehow, Lin Yu had regained consciousness!

Lin Yu looked at his brother, who was crying with his head down, holding a blood-dripping Pig-killing Knife. He glanced around at the bodies of Le and his men.

He rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn’t seeing things. He called out again and pinched his thigh.

It hurt!

This wasn’t a dream!

Did his brother really save him by taking down these people?

But why was his brother crying?

At that moment, Lin Feng, through his tears, thought he heard Lin Yu’s call.

“Is Yu’s ghost here?”

In a world with Demon-Wraiths, was it so strange to have ghosts too?

Tears and snot ran down Lin Feng’s face. He looked up to see Lin Yu staring at him with curiosity.

In an instant, Lin Feng realized he had been too hasty. He quickly turned around and wiped his face.

Then he turned back with a smile.

“Big brother! It’s really you! Why are you crying?”

Lin Yu asked, puzzled.

“Well, uh, nothing really. Just the wind and sand got to me!”

Lin Feng awkwardly explained.

“Wind and sand? But what’s with those two streaks on your nose? Did the wind and sand give you a cold, making your nose run?”

Lin Yu pressed further.

Oops, he had remembered to wipe his tears but forgot about the snot!

Lin Feng felt another wave of embarrassment. But more than that, he was overwhelmed with joy! Yu wasn’t dead! His brother was alive!

The feeling of losing something only to regain it was incredibly exhilarating! It was like waking up from a nightmare to find it was just a dream.

“Alright, I said it was the wind and sand! Why are you asking so many questions?

Are you okay?”

Lin Feng discreetly wiped away his snot and then walked over to help Lin Yu up.

“No, it was Mad Biao who knocked me out with a single blow,” Lin Yu said, rubbing his sore back. He then asked, “Big brother, when did you become so powerful?”

“I’m not sure, maybe I ate a wild fruit once and suddenly became like this,” Lin Feng replied, making up an explanation. Tonight’s events were hard to hide. If exposed, it might lead to the Green Snake Society’s frenzied retaliation. As a mere commoner, they could easily crush him without hesitation.

Fortunately, the incident happened in the eastern part of the city. If Zhao Sheng returned and could take responsibility for this, it would be fine. If not, he might have to go on another rampage. For the safety of himself and his family, he wouldn’t hesitate to eliminate Zhao Sheng’s entire family if necessary.

“A wild fruit?” Lin Yu thought his brother’s luck was incredible. He didn’t ask further, respecting his brother’s fortune. As long as his brother was well, that was enough. But his brother’s cultivation was unbelievably strong now! Le was a Big Leader, at the late Body Forging stage, and yet his brother had killed him with a single strike! Not just Le, but also Mad Biao, Panther, and three others. In total, five people. And his brother emerged unscathed, having slaughtered all five!

This was something only a warrior at the perfected Body Forging stage could accomplish! Sixteen years old and perfected Body Forging! And without any background! Lin Yu looked at Lin Feng, then at himself. He opened his mouth but couldn’t find words to express his thoughts. If he was considered a genius, then his brother was a prodigy!

After a while, Lin Yu finally calmed down. The two brothers woke Zhao Sheng’s wife and daughter, as well as Big Dog, and carried Big Dog into the room. Then, Lin Feng went outside and searched Le and the others, finding fifteen taels of silver. Unfortunately, Le didn’t have any martial arts manuals on him. It wasn’t like those TV dramas where the enemy conveniently carried everything on them for the protagonist to take.

“Le’s home might have Bone Forging Realm manuals and a lot of silver. I should go and loot it tonight!” Lin Feng thought, feeling more excited. If he could find Bone Forging Realm manuals, his cultivation could advance significantly!

Name: Lin Feng

Cultivation Manual: Battle Array Breaker

Cultivation: External Refinement Realm – Body Forging (98/100)+

Divine Ability 1: Devour

Divine Ability 2: Calamity Transcendence

Techniques:

Tiger Roar Fist (2/20)+

Butcher’s Deconstruction (6/20)+

Upgrade Points: 25

Lin Feng looked at the panel. Today’s slaughter and meals had earned him two upgrade points. Killing two lackeys gave him one point each, early Body Forging Panther gave him four points, mid Body Forging Mad Biao gave him seven points, and Le gave him ten points. So now, his upgrade points had increased to 25!

Just as Lin Feng was pondering, footsteps sounded in the distance. A figure appeared-it was Zhao Sheng!

Zhao Sheng had felt uneasy tonight, so he had only eaten a few bites of dinner before heading back outside the city. On the way, he met his lackeys and, upon hearing the news, rushed over. Zhao Sheng, who had run back at full speed, saw the bodies of Le and the others and was shocked! He looked at Lin Feng, a young man who bore some resemblance to Lin Yu.

“Boss! You’re back!” Lin Yu came out at this moment. Then, Lin Yu explained the whole situation to Zhao Sheng. Zhao Sheng’s heart was in turmoil! This young man before him had single-handedly taken down Le, who was at the late Body Forging stage! And he did it cleanly, without a scratch on himself! At least perfected Body Forging! A sixteen-year-old with no background? This?

“Thank you, Lin Feng, my young friend!” Zhao Sheng bowed deeply to Lin Feng. Then he reached into his pocket and took out twenty taels of silver, intending to repay Lin Feng.

“This silver can’t repay the life-saving grace! If you ever need anything, I, Zhao Sheng, will not hesitate! And today’s events are all the doing of the Great Knife Gang. They’re not your concern!” Zhao Sheng said.

Hearing this, Lin Feng finally smiled! Zhao Sheng was sensible.

“You’re too kind. Yu often speaks highly of you, and I’m grateful for your care. There’s no need for the money,” Lin Feng pushed Zhao Sheng’s money back. Zhao Sheng didn’t seem like a heartless person, and since he was a member of the Zhao family, keeping this favor might be useful. Even if not, Zhao Sheng would likely take good care of Yu for Lin Feng’s sake.

The two of them exchanged pleasantries, one insisting on giving, the other refusing to take. Eventually, Lin Feng suggested seizing Le’s territory, which shifted Zhao Sheng’s focus. Lin Feng’s proposal was naturally a ploy to create chaos, drawing attention away while he sneaked into Le’s home to loot it first! That’s where the real treasures were!
