Martial Saint: Starting with Accumulating Experience

In fact, Chen Feng could roughly guess who sent the two men. Pingcheng was not a large city, and there were only a few forces that could command those at the Qi Refining Realm.

Among them were those who had a grudge against Chen Feng.

That would leave only the Li family.

That's so hard to guess.

However, there is a very small chance that these two people are from outside the city, such as Lu Hong from the Canal Gang, who felt that Chen Feng ruined his plans and wanted revenge.

However, when Lu Hong abducted Cheng Tingxue, he only sent Tie Tu, a late-stage Bone Forging Realm cultivator. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that this was the case.

In Chen Feng's eyes, both the Li family and the Canal Gang were birds of a feather, filthy scum.

Moreover, the Li family is backed by the Grand Canal Gang.

Chen Feng still remembers the time when he was a porter at the dock after transmigrating. A foreman under the canal gang could deduct 80 yuan from his wages at will.

Although Chen Feng never went to that dock again, his memory of it remained clear, as if it were yesterday.

"I'll give you two choices."

Chen Feng crouched down to look the two of them in the eye, his gaze icy, and slowly uttered chilling words:

"If you're from the Canal Gang, I'll just kill you. If you're from the Li family, I'll cripple you and leave you at the Li family's doorstep. The choice is yours."

The man with the buzz cut had fear in his eyes.

He is now filled with regret.

The long-haired woman retorted, "Why are you so sure we're from the Grand Canal Gang or the Li family?"

Chen Feng chuckled after hearing this: "I wasn't sure before, but I'm sure now."

"Can...can you spare us...?" The man with the buzz cut trembled as he asked. Only now did he realize how terrifying death could be.

Upon hearing this, the long-haired man stared at him with surprise, seemingly not expecting his companion to be so cowardly.

Chen Feng retorted righteously, "If you're going to kill someone, you have to be prepared to be killed. What kind of assassin are you if you don't even have that much awareness?"

The man with the buzz cut was deathly pale and still wanted to beg for mercy.

"Don't waste time, if you won't choose, then I will..." Before he finished speaking, Chen Feng was about to make his move.

"No!" the crew-cut man exclaimed. "I'll choose! I'll choose! I'll tell you everything, but can you please let me go?"

Chen Feng immediately let out an "Eh".

"You bastard, you don't even have professional ethics, I despise you."

"However, your willingness to cooperate with me is commendable. I take back my contempt for you. Go ahead and tell me, I'm listening."

Hearing the conversation between the two, the long-haired man felt utterly hopeless. Then, with a fierce expression, he lunged at the crew-cut man.

He pinned down the man's hands with both of his own, then suddenly lowered his head and bit down on his neck, attempting to kill him to silence him.

"ah!!"

The man with the buzz cut shouted loudly.

Chen Feng acted decisively, striking the long-haired man in the back of the heart with a palm strike, instantly severing his heart meridian and killing him completely.

[Defeat a powerful enemy]

[Experience +500]

With a pounding heart, the crew-cut man pushed his companion's corpse off him, his face ashen, as if his soul was about to leave his body.

He immediately blurted out everything he knew, as if spitting out beans.

Just as Chen Feng had expected, the two were acting under the orders of Li Shuxian. However, contrary to Chen Feng's expectations, the two were not from the Li family, but rather from the Grand Canal Gang.

It was a letter from Li Shuxian asking a leader of the Caobang gang he knew for help, and that leader sent the two of them over.

"The Grand Master... is it Lu Polang?" Chen Feng asked after recalling.

The man with the buzz cut was taken aback, then shook his head. "Although Pingcheng is under the jurisdiction of Chief Lu, the two of us are not under his command."

"How strong is your headmaster?"

"The head of the main hall is only a martial arts master."

Chen Feng clicked his tongue.

The secret passage gang was indeed huge; its main leader had the strength of the Qi Condensation Realm, and there were quite a few of them.

Above the head of the main hall, there are many other positions, such as flag master and branch master.

"What was your position in the canal transport guild?"

The man with the buzz cut honestly replied, "I am a Dharma Protector, with a status equivalent to that of the Head of the Hall."

"Oh ho, you're the head of the hall?"

Chen Feng still remembered the oppressive feeling that Tie Tu had given him in the past, but Tie Tu was just a branch hall master.

His status was even one level lower than the buzz-cut guy in front of him.

It seems that strength is the most important factor.

After Chen Feng had a pretty good grasp of the situation, he stood up and let out a long sigh of relief: "Alright, it's time to get going."

The man with the buzz cut panicked:

"Didn't you say you'd let me off the hook?!"

Chen Feng raised an eyebrow and said, "When did I say that? Don't make false accusations."

"Don't glare at me, or I'll continue to despise you. I've already praised you, what more do you want?"

Upon hearing this, the man with the buzz cut nearly coughed up blood, his voice trembling violently: "You...you!"

Chen Feng unleashed a palm strike.

A chop to the back of the neck knocked the crew-cut man unconscious.

Then, he used the Shattering Mountain Force to destroy all the meridians in his body.

"I can spare your life, but you can forget about all your strength."

Chen Feng murmured.

He was never merciful when dealing with enemies, but as for why he deliberately spared one survivor...

Of course, it was to cause some trouble for Li Shuxian.

He planned to throw his buzz cut at the entrance of the yamen and make a scene at the government office.

Since Li Shuxian wanted to resort to assassination, Chen Feng was determined not to let him have his way and insisted on bringing the matter into the open.

This will more or less affect Li Shuxian's reputation, and Li Shuxian happens to be in a special period, so he is most afraid of such negative impact.

The enemy has come knocking on our door. We can't retaliate immediately, but we have to at least have the guts to go back.

Chen Feng narrowed his eyes slightly.

......

......

The next morning.

Not far from the county government office.

Chen Feng glanced one last time at the two solemn stone lions at the entrance, then quickly left.

Missed.

Both the short-haired and long-haired corpses were gone; the two had been thoroughly cleaned up.

Last night, Chen Feng deliberately placed the two of them a short distance away from the yamen, so that any yamen runners passing by would surely notice.

However, when they came to investigate today, they found nothing, and when they asked the officials, they knew nothing.

It seems Li Shuxian is a ruthless person. Without receiving news of success, he sent people to investigate and clean up overnight, destroying all traces.

"This is difficult..." Chen Feng let out a long sigh as he left.

He currently has no good solutions for the Li family. Li Shuxian and Lin Jingshu have been staying at home, and when they do go out, they are always accompanied by several guards, leaving Chen Feng with no opportunity to make a move.

As for infiltrating the Li residence to assassinate Li Shuxian, just like the assassination of the Lin couple, that was pure fantasy.

As a prominent family, the Li family must have experts at the Qi Condensation Realm within their residence; entering would be tantamount to walking into a trap.

"Should we wait until he sets off for the capital before making our move?" Chen Feng pondered.

That's probably the only way.

But before that, Chen Feng had to take another matter seriously—the retaliation from the Canal Gang.

The deaths of two guardians at the Qi Refining Realm will surely be blamed on Chen Feng.

They said they wouldn't retaliate.

Ghosts believe.

That huge canal gang was not only famous for its strength, but also for its arrogance and unreasonableness.

They're even more bandit-like than bandits themselves.

Even more tyrannical than a bully.

In the next few days, Chen Feng also had to keep a low profile and stay in the martial arts school as much as possible, relying on his master, a great martial arts master, for protection.

"Let's play it safe and develop our strength. Let's try to reach the Qi Condensation Realm before Li Shuxian goes to the capital. That way, we'll have a better chance of making a move."

Chen Feng thought to himself.

"Li Shuxian!"

A cry of pain reached Chen Feng's ears, and he immediately jolted and turned to look.

A drunken man was seen staggering down the street; it was he who had yelled earlier.

Chen Feng looked closely.

He discovered that he actually knew this person—Yanwen, one of Cheng Yuan's three disciples who had passed the imperial examination.
