Chapter 324 - The Cell Phone that Smashed Through the Earth_1
The Violent female killer's probing attack posed no threat to Lin Feng, but Su Zi, on his back, was so scared she was shivering. It wasn't until Lin Feng dodged the Flying Knife that Su Zi even became aware of its presence. If Lin Feng hadn't been there, she would have died on the spot.
The situation was highly unfavorable for Lin Feng. The opposition had at least three people, and they held Ning Aoxue hostage. Although Lin Feng wasn't alone, he couldn't expect Su Zi to be any help in a fight. She was purely a burden—a top-tier burden at that.
Though Lin Feng was anxious, no emotion showed on his face. He stared at Mu Tianluo and asked coldly, "What exactly are you trying to do?"
"Hah, what to do? Do you even need to ask?" Mu Tianluo pulled down the black cloth covering her face, revealing an innocent and charming smile as she giggled. "White Wolf King, you're no outsider, so let's not beat around the bush. We were paid a hefty sum to make Ning Fuxun abandon the Qing Shui Bay project, by any means necessary. We originally planned to kill him directly, but you accidentally interfered. Not only did our mission fail, but you also seriously wounded that good-for-nothing Brutal Knife..."
Qing Shui Bay, located in Jiangzhou City's Binhai District, had long been rumored as the site where the Municipal Government planned to build a top-tier villa complex. Many local real estate tycoons, led by the Ning Corporation, were vying for the project, though it hadn't been finalized. It turned out there was a lot of underhanded competition behind the scenes.
Lin Feng listened distractedly to Mu Tianluo's explanation, his attention fixed on the masked woman carrying Ning Aoxue. She had reached an SUV, opened the rear hatch, and was placing Ning Aoxue inside.
"So, you plan to kidnap Ning Fuxun's daughter and threaten him into submission?" Lin Feng, understanding her logic, interrupted.
"Kidnap? Such an ugly word!" Mu Tianluo shook her head, chuckling. "We're politely inviting Miss Ning to be our guest for a few days. As long as you, White Wolf King, are willing to stand down, I guarantee no one will lay a single finger on her. Once the Ning Corporation withdraws from the Qing Shui Bay project bidding, Miss Ning will return safe and sound!"
Mu Tianluo laughed confidently, certain Lin Feng wouldn't dare to make a move. She didn't understand why the White Wolf King, so notorious in the Middle East, had faked his death and vanished a year ago, even changing his appearance to hide as an ordinary student in Jiangzhou. Moreover, his Inner Strength cultivation had even dropped by two levels. But she knew Lin Feng could still easily defeat her. If she didn't have a hostage, Mu Tianluo would never have dared to stand so brazenly before the legendary White Wolf King.
"Do you think I'd believe you?" Lin Feng said with a faint smile, his right hand stealthily slipping into his pants pocket.
"What are you trying to do?! Don't you care about Ning Aoxue's life?" Mu Tianluo asked sharply, nervously watching Lin Feng's movements.
"Relax, I'm just going to call Old Man Ning," Lin Feng said, opening his palm with a grin to show the old-fashioned Nokia candy-bar phone in his hand.
"Heh... sensible of you." Seeing Lin Feng hadn't pulled out a weapon, Mu Tianluo visibly relaxed. Her subordinate had already placed Ning Aoxue in the vehicle, and the situation was essentially settled. Feeling quite smug, she said, "White Wolf King, I don't need to wonder if you'll believe us. Ning Aoxue is in our hands, so you can only believe us..."
"Actually, no. I've considered everything you've said to be bullshit," Lin Feng suddenly stated, his blunt words causing Mu Tianluo's face to freeze.
At that instant, the masked woman who had put Ning Aoxue in the vehicle was about to get in herself.
"You think I don't know you're deliberately stalling for time?" Lin Feng smiled faintly. His left hand snaked back to support Su Zi's rear, while his right hand rose, mimicking a baseball pitcher's wind-up. "Actually, I've been waiting too..."
Time seemed to slow slightly. Although Lin Feng made no further overt movements, a powerful vortex of air suddenly formed around him, violently sweeping up fallen leaves within a several-meter radius and sending them scattering.
"Inner Strength released! You... you've recovered to the third level of Inner Strength?" Mu Tianluo stared at Lin Feng as if she'd seen a ghost, her eyes wide with astonishment. The next moment, realizing what Lin Feng's posture signified, she whipped her head towards the masked woman by the SUV and shrieked with all her might, "Leng Yan, watch out!"
Having warned her companion as best she could, Mu Tianluo decisively attacked Lin Feng. However, her dagger targeted Su Zi on Lin Feng's back—a diversionary tactic, aiming to disrupt Lin Feng's attack by forcing him to defend Su Zi.
Lin Feng's body moved. Like a taut crossbow, he suddenly burst from stillness into motion, then stopped just as abruptly. In that instant, he completed a standard pitching motion, launching the Nokia phone from his hand.
Mu Tianluo missed. Her dagger didn't even graze Su Zi's clothes. She could only watch in horror as Lin Feng's phone, emitting a sharp whine, shot through the night sky like a cannonball, straight at Leng Yan, who was just about to climb into the SUV!
The masked woman heard Mu Tianluo's warning and had only just turned to look. Before she could comprehend what was happening, her pupils instantly dilated as an ear-piercing, dangerous sound reached her.
BANG!
CRACK!
First came a dull THUD, then a sharp, piercing CRACK, as if something had snapped! The masked woman, struck in the chest, was sent flying by the impact, slamming into the side of the SUV. The vehicle rocked violently before she crumpled to the ground.
Indeed, the cracking sound was that of breaking bones!
The masked woman, Leng Yan, spat out a mouthful of blood, unable to even rise. She clearly felt her sternum shatter. The culprit lay before her—an ordinary Nokia phone.
To think her grievous injuries were caused by a mere phone, thrown from dozens of meters away!
The excruciating pain coursing through Leng Yan, combined with the sheer absurdity of what had just happened to her, made her vision go black before she fainted.
Lin Feng clapped his hands and strolled towards Mu Tianluo, a chilling smile on his lips, like a demon regarding its prey.
"You... you..."
Mu Tianluo's eyes widened in disbelief. She couldn't fathom how Lin Feng had severely injured Leng Yan with just a phone. It had all happened too fast for her to react, leaving her unsure how to face him as he walked right up to her.
"I'll kill you!" Suddenly, a savage, ruthless glint flashed in Mu Tianluo's eyes, as if she were about to fight Lin Feng to the death. In reality, as she lunged, she shrieked, "Brutal Knife, kill Ning Aoxue!"
It turned out the person in the SUV's driver's seat was none other than Brutal Knife, whom Lin Feng had injured not long ago.
Mu Tianluo, knowing Lin Feng was difficult to handle, had actually ordered Brutal Knife to kill Ning Aoxue!
