Chapter 2507 Arrogance
"What!"
The fat man exclaimed loudly, his voice so booming that quite a few leaves fell from the trees.
Ling Feng looked at him: "You heard correctly, I killed him!"
"You, you have a lot of nerve!"
The fat man’s face turned beet red upon hearing this, and he immediately waved his hand and shouted, "Kill this person for me, along with everyone in this village, leave no one alive, avenge my brother!"
If he hadn’t said this, it would have been fine, but once he did, Ling Feng’s eyes narrowed, followed by a flash of murderous intent!
A chilling murderous aura swiftly filled the air, causing everyone, including the fat man, to shiver!
Ling Feng stared at the fat man: "What’s your name?"
"I, I’m Pang Feng." The fat man said.
"Good!"
Ling Feng nodded: "Since you said so, I won’t hold back. Your brother killed innocents indiscriminately, and you treat human life as worthless. I’ll fulfill your wish then!"
No sooner had his words fallen than a gleam of cold light flashed by his side!
By the time everyone reacted, the cold light had already flashed past Pang Feng’s neck!
When people came to their senses, they saw blood on Pang Feng’s neck!
Immediately after, his head rolled to the ground with a thud, and blood gushed out!
"..."
Everyone present was dumbfounded!
Pang Feng was the city guard, the most powerful and highest-ranking official within hundreds of miles around.
With him dead, the rest became a disorganized mob, with no one to take charge.
While everyone was in a daze, Ling Feng asked in a deep voice: "Who here has the highest rank?"
Upon hearing this, everyone instinctively looked towards a middle-aged man with a small mustache.
The man trembled and nervously said, "It... it’s me."
"Come over here and speak!"
Ling Feng beckoned to him.
The man swallowed and stepped forward: "Sir, what are your orders?"
"Pang Feng wanted to massacre Shiliu Village, but I took him out first. Now you’re the person in charge here, I’ll give you an explanation!"
Ling Feng said, then continued in a deep voice: "Immediately notify the Capital City by your quickest means, don’t waste time on the provincial city, I want to speak with someone powerful from the Capital, tell them to come find me!"
"Uh..."
The mustached man looked bewildered, thinking to himself, what kind of person is this, to have such audacity?
Are the people from the Capital really ones you can provoke?
But then he thought to himself, since he dared to kill a city guard, he must be an important figure, definitely someone I can’t afford to offend!
So, his eyes darted around as he quickly nodded: "Okay, okay, I’ll send someone to report immediately!"
"How long will it take?" Ling Feng asked.
"Uh, it will probably take about two days." The man said.
Ling Feng looked speechless: "What? Don’t you even have telephones or telegraphs here?"
"What is that?" The man asked.
"Forget it, just act as if I didn’t say anything."
Ling Feng shook his head helplessly and said: "Just do as I said, I don’t want to be entangled in this matter for too long, quickly go pass the message!"
"Okay."
The man nodded, turned, and signaled his subordinates, who quickly lifted Pang Feng’s body, wrapped it in cloth, and put it onto his horse.
When they came, they were aggressive, but when they left, they were crestfallen, not daring to utter even a whisper.
A little while later, Ling Baoguo and his wife came out from the house.
Looking at Ling Feng, Ling Baoguo’s eyes widened: "Brother, who exactly are you, to dare kill a city guard? And why do you want to see someone from the Capital?"
"I want assurance that they will promise not to harass the people of Shiliu Village." Ling Feng said.
"But they’re even more powerful, those Eighth or Ninth Rank people, can you handle them?" Ling Baoguo asked.
"Don’t worry, if I say I can, I can!" Ling Feng smiled.
With such confidence, Ling Baoguo had no choice but to believe him.
Just based on the display he showed earlier, instantly killing a Seventh Rank expert, that isn’t something ordinary people can achieve.
After calming Ling Baoguo and his wife’s emotions, seeing it was getting late, Ling Feng and Sato Saori left their home.
On the way back, Ling Feng said to Sato Saori: "We’ve been out for so long, it’s time to send a message back home."
Sato Saori immediately understood his meaning, nodded, and said: "Alright, I’ll go back and inform everyone about the situation, so they don’t worry. You continue to keep watch here!"
"Mm!"
Ling Feng nodded, then said: "If you find it boring here, you don’t have to come back right away!"
"Who says it’s boring, I actually find it quite fun, don’t worry, I’ll try to be quick!"
Sato Saori chuckled, then her figure flashed as she headed into the northern mountains of the village.
Ling Feng also smiled and stepped back into the house he had rented.
.......
......
Without a word, a night passed in the blink of an eye.
The next morning, Ling Feng got up early and headed up the mountain.
He chose to go to the mountain because he felt that after eating and drinking at Ling Baoguo’s house yesterday, even though he had paid them, he still owed them a lot of personal favor.
So, he planned to gather some mountain produce himself, bring it back to them as a gesture of gratitude.
After a busy morning on the mountain, Ling Feng collected quite a few valuable items and packed a large bag to take back to Ling Baoguo’s home.
The items were mostly edible and could also be sold for money. Upon seeing him bring so much all at once, Ling Baoguo and his wife were quite surprised.
Even the old-timers who gather mountain produce in the village couldn’t gather this much in one morning.
But they knew Ling Feng was not an ordinary person, so despite their surprise, they understood.
Sato Saori hadn’t returned yet, and Ling Feng felt a bit bored on his own, so he set up a grill at Ling Baoguo’s house, planning to show off his skills.
Just as he started grilling the meat, some children from the village were drawn over.
At that time, Shiliu Village was still bustling with people, and there were quite a few children in the village, totaling more than twenty of various ages.
Ling Feng loved children, especially since these were from Shiliu Village, some of whom might even be ancestors of his ancestors, so he invited them all into the courtyard.
Seeing the children eagerly watching the grilled meat, Ling Feng smiled and said: "Don’t worry, I didn’t expect there’d be so many of you, once this batch is done, you all share it first, there’ll be more shortly!"
The children were still rather shy, so they watched eagerly but didn’t say anything.
Ling Feng didn’t mind, and soon distributed the grilled meat to everyone, then took out more fresh meat, marinated and skewered it, and got busy again.
He grilled for an entire afternoon, and in the end, the children ate until they were full, and Ling Baoguo and his wife tasted deliciousness they had never had in their lives.
As the evening approached, Sato Saori returned, bringing someone with her.
