Chapter 478 Linglong Needle Technique_1
Just then, Lin Feng felt a cool sensation on the back of his head. Xue Qingyi's blade must have sheared off quite a bit of my hair... This young girl, she's really brutal, striking at me from behind twice in succession. Thankfully, I dodged quickly.
However, it's fortunate she didn't use a gun. That's a silver lining in this unfortunate situation.
"AH..." Xue Qingyi cried out softly, attempting to pull her hand back but found it held tight by Lin Feng, who was using a grappling move. For the moment, she couldn't break free.
"Don't move," Lin Feng cautioned. I can't let her strike freely; that would be playing with my own life.
"Don't touch her!" Zhou Yang roared, on the verge of going berserk when he saw Lin Feng grab Xue Qingyi's wrist. Ignoring the minor injury Lin Feng had just inflicted on him with a palm strike, he was ready to fight Lin Feng to the death.
"Don't act rashly," Xue Qingyi suddenly spoke, interrupting Zhou Yang's impulsive thoughts. A look of extreme curiosity appeared in her beautiful eyes as she stared at Lin Feng and asked in a low voice, "You never looked back. How did you know my real killing move was with my Left Hand?"
Xue Qingyi asked this because she was extremely confident in her technique. Her Linglong Needle Technique, renowned as the 'Three Nos' killing art—no sound, no killing intent, no visible trace—had been used to ambush countless enemies, and she had always been successful. This encounter with Lin Feng marked the first time her Linglong Needle Technique had failed in actual combat.
"I taught you the Linglong Needle Technique. How would I not know your killing move is a needle?" Lin Feng said with a smile, glancing at the Silver Needle on the ground and nodding. "Good, you still have some conscience. You didn't use the Blood-sealing Poison Needle on me..."
Xue Qingyi's expression finally softened. The fact that the Linglong Needle Technique was passed down from the White Wolf King, Lin Feng, was a secret even Zhou Yang didn't know. Yet this young man before her actually knew... Could he... really be... that Lin Feng?
"How many moves are in the Linglong Needle Technique?" Xue Qingyi suddenly asked again.
"Three and a half!" Lin Feng said, staring at Xue Qingyi. "The three complete moves are the Shadowless Needle, the Reflecting Needle, and the Penetrating Needle, all formless and shadowless sneak attack techniques. The incomplete half-move is called God of the Year. It evolved from a dagger technique. Although extremely powerful, due to the lack of a suitable weapon, it can only be used as a direct assault move."
"Huh? What are you talking about? I don't quite understand," Zhou Yang said. He only knew Xue Qingyi's Linglong Needle Technique was very powerful but had never heard that the needle technique was divided into moves. What Lin Feng said was completely new to him.
"It's really you..." After hearing Lin Feng's explanation, Xue Qingyi's expression changed drastically, and her body finally relaxed. She stared blankly at Lin Feng and murmured.
"It's really me!" Lin Feng grinned bitterly as he let go of Xue Qingyi's hands and sat down on the sofa.
"What on earth happened? You... how did you become like this?" Xue Qingyi reluctantly accepted that the Lin Feng before her was indeed the White Wolf King. But she couldn't understand why Lin Feng had changed so much. Not only had he become younger, but his physique was also much slimmer. Could a person actually change bodies?
"I don't know why either. My memory only goes up to being ambushed by artillery fire during the final cleanup operation in Region 72 of Country Y... When I woke up, I had become an ordinary third-year high school student in Jiangzhou City!" If there were people in this world Lin Feng could trust with his life, Zhou Yang and Xue Qingyi would definitely be among them. Their abilities, insight, and loyalty were beyond doubt.
Now, the challenge for Lin Feng was to convince them of his identity.
Therefore, Lin Feng answered Xue Qingyi's questions without concealing anything.
"Something this ridiculous actually happened?" Zhou Yang clearly thought Lin Feng was talking nonsense.
Lin Feng's incident location was indeed Region 72 of Country Y. Xue Qingyi was increasingly convinced that Lin Feng was telling the truth. However, the facts were so absurd that she began to doubt if she was dreaming.
"Have you seen Mu Tianluo recently?" Xue Qingyi bit her lip, asking in a low voice.
"Mu Tianluo? Half a month ago, one of her missions accidentally affected me. I crippled her with a kick. I don't know how she is now," Lin Feng said lightly.
Suddenly, Lin Feng reacted. He stared at Xue Qingyi, his face filled with astonishment, "Was it Mu Tianluo who told you we were in Jiangzhou?"
Xue Qingyi nodded lightly.
Lin Feng's heart was filled with a thousand emotions. Damn it! I spent a fortune at the Hunter Guild trying to find news of the White Wolf Squad members, all to no avail. Who knew that just by beating up a female assassin, I'd find Zhou Yang and Xue Qingyi? It really is true that good deeds are rewarded. Looks like I'll have to beat up more people in the future.
"Hey, hey... Sis, you're not going to just accept that he's the Boss, the Wolf King, are you? This... this is absurd, isn't it?" Zhou Yang walked over, looked Lin Feng up and down carefully again, then shook his head and said, "Apart from a slight resemblance in appearance, I really can't see anything similar to the Boss about him. Sis, you can't be too hasty!"
Just as Zhou Yang finished telling Xue Qingyi not to be too hasty, in the next second, Xue Qingyi threw herself at Lin Feng, embracing him silently.
"AH..." Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment. After a pause of a few seconds, he finally shook his head and walked towards the villa's exit. "Um, I'll wait for you outside..."
Caught off guard by Xue Qingyi's sudden embrace, Lin Feng was momentarily stunned, then hugged her back tightly. Feeling the gentle touch of her soft, tender body, smelling the faint fragrance emanating from her, his hands caressed her smooth back. Xue Qingyi's body was rather firm and very well-proportioned. There wasn't a trace of excess fat on her back or abdomen; the feel was extremely good.
"Ever since that incident, after you disappeared in Region 72 of Country Y, I couldn't find any trace of you. No sign of you alive, no corpse if dead. I thought you were deliberately hiding and didn't dare to see me..." Xue Qingyi lifted her head, looking at Lin Feng. Her watery eyes seemed capable of ensnaring one's soul; a moment's carelessness, and one would be lost in her mesmerizing gaze!
Xue Qingyi rarely smiled, but her beauty was definitely top-tier. She was a bit softer than the tougher Xue Qinghan, though this softer side was something she mostly revealed only to Lin Feng. Xue Qinghan, for her part, was usually a block of solid ice, so cold it made people feel at a loss.
"In that incident, Region 72 was probably blasted so hard that three layers of soil were blown off! To go to such great lengths just to hide from a great beauty like you, how foolish would I have to be?" Lin Feng said to Xue Qingyi with a frank smile. In fact, ever since Xue Qinghan passed away, the relationship between Lin Feng and Xue Qingyi had been very subtle. They were comrades-in-arms, family, and also confidants.
Xue Qingyi suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable in Lin Feng's somewhat unfamiliar embrace. Her face turned a little embarrassed as she loosened her hold on Lin Feng and said softly, "Lin Feng, you... you're holding me too tight!"
"COUGH, COUGH..." Lin Feng coughed awkwardly a couple of times. It's all this body's fault for getting excited so easily.
