If anyone in the entire hall could still remain calm, it was only Du Fei and Shen Xiong.
The former had noticed that Lin Gongfeng was a martial artist, and not a weak one, as soon as he entered the scene.
However, compared to him, Lin Gongfeng's strength was still significantly inferior.
As for Shen Xiong's composure, it was entirely due to his confidence in Du Fei's strength.
In his opinion, although Lin Gongfeng's thunderous declaration just now was impressive, it was nothing extraordinary. He still believed Du Fei was more formidable.
After a brief silence, someone finally couldn't hold back.
"Holy shit! If I don't agree, I'll die. How can you be so arrogant, old man? Come on, I, your grandpa, disagree. If you have the guts, kill me!!!"
The one who stood up and shouted was the burly man who had questioned Hu Po earlier, sitting beside Zhang Zicheng, a prominent figure from Qian Province.
The man, over two meters tall, had muscles as hard as steel cables, making him look like an iron tower.
Bang!
Everyone's vision blurred for a moment. The burly man who had just stood up was sent flying like a kite with a broken string.
When he hit the ground, his chest had caved in deeply, blood gushed from his five orifices, and he was clearly beyond saving.
"Brother Sheng!"
"Brother Sheng, are you alright?"
The subordinates who had followed the burly man rushed to his side.
Just as he was about to help the burly man up, the burly man opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of blood before losing consciousness.
The people in the hall were instantly stunned by this scene.
It was worth noting that the burly man who spat blood was quite famous in Qian Province. In his youth, he had studied at Shaolin for many years and possessed formidable martial skills.
Yet, in the blink of an eye, he was beaten unconscious by someone beside Hu Po, and most importantly, no one present even saw how the opponent made his move.
"Damn it, you killed Brother Sheng, I'll kill you!"
The subordinate holding the burly man hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and reached for a gun from his waist, pointing it at Lin Gongfeng.
However, Lin Gongfeng, facing the dark muzzle, remained unfazed.
He let out a cold snort and pointed to his own forehead. "Trash is always trash. What if you have a gun? Come on, shoot here! Shoot!"
Initially, the burly man's subordinate had pulled out his pistol purely out of emotional impulse. However, after pointing it at Lin Gongfeng, he hadn't fired immediately because he knew that this person was from Hu Po's faction, and even if he killed him, he would still be killed by Hu Po.
But now, with Lin Gongfeng constantly provoking him, he finally hardened his resolve and fiercely pulled the trigger.
Bang, bang, bang.
Three consecutive gunshots echoed in the hall.
However, Lin Gongfeng, who had been standing there, had already vanished.
The subordinate who had fired squinted and realized he had missed.
Where did he go?
Where was he?
"Useless!"
Just then, he heard two words whispered by his ear, and then he plunged into darkness.
However, what the others in the hall saw was that the moment the burly man's subordinate fired, Lin Gongfeng had moved with lightning speed.
He instantly appeared beside him and struck down with a palm. The burly man's subordinate's body caved in halfway, and he slowly collapsed to the ground.
"Who else is not convinced? Feel free to step forward and try."
Lin Gongfeng had killed two people in succession. At this moment, he was like a god of death, his gaze sweeping across the hall.
Wherever his eyes fell, no one dared to meet his gaze, and they all lowered their heads.
Hmm?
Just as Lin Gongfeng thought that everyone had bowed down and his task was complete.
He noticed that there were still two individuals in the hall who dared to look at him directly.
Although one of them seemed a little unsure, the young man beside him was looking at him with a hint of disdain.
Seeing this, Lin Gongfeng raised his foot and walked towards their location.
Crow, standing nearby, saw Lin Gongfeng approaching Shen Xiong and a smile immediately spread across his face.
Earlier, when he had brought Master Fei with him, he had thought his revenge would be complete and Shen Xiong would surely die.
But he hadn't expected that the young man sitting beside Shen Xiong would defeat Master Fei.
Later, Crow had managed to save his own life.
Even though Shen Xiong hadn't killed him, Crow's hatred for Shen Xiong deepened, to the point where he wished he could grind him into ashes.
However, despite his thoughts, Crow knew very well that neither Shen Xiong's strength nor the young man beside him was someone he could deal with.
Even if he was the first to pledge allegiance to Hu Po, if Shen Xiong also agreed, Hu Po wouldn't intervene on his behalf.
But now, as Lin Gongfeng walked towards Shen Xiong and the other person, Crow felt that his long-cherished wish was about to come true.
"You two, do you seem to have objections to my words?"
Lin Gongfeng arrived at the table where Du Fei and Shen Xiong were sitting, looking down at them from above.
When Lin Gongfeng walked over just now, the people who had been at their table, filled with fear, had already fled, leaving only the two of them.
As Lin Gongfeng spoke, an extremely powerful aura erupted from him.
Under the pressure of this aura, Shen Xiong immediately felt a sense of dread, his legs trembling, and he had an urge to kneel down and submit to Lin Gongfeng.
But just as Shen Xiong was about to give in and kneel, Du Fei reached out and patted his shoulder.
A gentle energy flowed into Shen Xiong's body, and the fear vanished as quickly as snow melting in the sun.
What?
Seeing this, Lin Gongfeng's eyes widened in shock.
Impossible, he had dispelled his oppressive aura with just a slight movement. Who exactly was this young man?
At this moment, Lin Gongfeng put away his earlier dismissive gaze.
"It seems you are also a martial artist. Which family do you belong to?"
Lin Gongfeng now understood that Du Fei, the young man beside Shen Xiong, must be from a prominent martial arts family.
What puzzled him was why the younger generation of current martial arts families would associate with a gangster like Shen Xiong.
After all, those martial arts families were all more arrogant than him, and ordinary people were beneath their notice.
However, despite his confusion, now that he knew the other party's identity, Lin Gongfeng couldn't deal with Du Fei the same way he had dealt with the burly man and his subordinate, as that would offend the family behind him.
Even though Lin Gongfeng was confident in his own strength, he would absolutely not do something that yielded more losses than gains.
"You don't need to worry about which family I belong to. I'm more curious, what benefits did that guy named Hu Po give you to make you willing to be his henchman and help him commit murder?"
Du Fei slowly raised his head, looking at Lin Gongfeng.
Perhaps to everyone in the hall, including Hu Po, Lin Gongfeng was an insurmountable figure, revered like a god.
But Du Fei only felt that this guy, for simply hearing a word of objection from the burly man, had resorted to killing, completely devoid of humanity.
