Wu Yingxiong was the initiator of the whole affair, and since it was a mission assigned by his organization, Ling Zhenfei had to get to the bottom of it.

"I clearly heard you don't want me to save anyone, but what's the reason?"

Ling Zhenfei looked at Hai Kuan without a hint of fear.

Hai Kuan was stunned; it was incredible that even a gun didn't scare Ling Zhenfei.

"Kid, it sounds like you're asking for a favor."

Ling Zhenfei shook his head, "Asking for money from your own brothers is a bit vulgar, isn't it? I just want to know which big brother doesn't want Han Lian to be treated."

Hai Kuan was taken aback and thought Ling Zhenfei was one of them from the way he spoke.

"So it's all brothers from our own family. Why didn't you say so earlier? If you are treating that cop, you can stop now. The word from above is we have to let that cop die."

Ling Zhenfei was shocked; these people were too ruthless, still not sparing Han Lian even in this state. He wondered who "above" could be.

"Above? Are you talking about Wu Yingxiong?" Ling Zhenfei pretended to be indifferent.

The people were taken aback after hearing this: "Kid, you actually dare to mention his name directly. Are you asking for death?"

Ling Zhenfei understood that these people were underlings of Wu Yingxiong. This city was far from the city where Wu Yingxiong was based, which was enough to show Wu Yingxiong's formidable power in the Northeast.

"So what if I mentioned it? It's just a name, isn't it? He chose this name for others to call him by."

Ling Zhenfei said with a grin, in fact, he was already gathering Spiritual Power in his hands, ready to act at any moment given the number of people surrounding him.

Hai Kuan's face immediately darkened, "Kid, are you making a fool of me? You're not one of our boss's men at all."

Ling Zhenfei laughed, "With your level of smarts, are you even fit to be out here? I've been fooling you and you only just realized."

Upon hearing this, Hai Kuan flew into a rage, pressing the handgun against Ling Zhenfei's head forcefully: "Kid, do you believe I'll kill you right now?"

"If you dared to shoot, you would have done it already instead of wasting time with me here."

"Brat, you've got some nerve. Seems like today I'll have to teach you a lesson before you realize whose turf this is."

Hai Kuan was the type who grew up fighting; he never took loses lightly. Although he didn't dare to shoot directly, he swung his handgun and slammed the butt against Ling Zhenfei's head.

Ling Zhenfei was, however, prepared. He skillfully dodged to the side, and Hai Kuan's blow missed.

"It seems you're not that great. With skills like yours, what face do you have to lead others?"

Ling Zhenfei chuckled looking at Hai Kuan, his eyes brimming with mockery.

"You deflated cow, you really think I'm afraid to shoot and kill you? Piss me off too much, and I just might do it."

Ling Zhenfei knew he had successfully provoked Hai Kuan, which was exactly what he needed.

"Then do it. Kill me. I'll just stand right here."

Huffing with rage, Hai Kuan aimed the handgun at Ling Zhenfei, but several people quickly stepped forward, grabbing Hai Kuan to hold him back.

"Brother Kuan, don't be hasty. Do we need a gun for someone like him? We've got so many people here, one punch each and we could finish him off."

"Yeah, Brother Kuan, don't fall for it. He can't possibly escape while he's in our grasp, right?"

As soon as Hai Kuan heard this, he immediately understood and shouted to his men, "What are you waiting for? Strip off one of his arms."

No sooner had he shouted this than his men, who were already prepared, charged forward. But it was at this moment that Ling Zhenfei made his move, landing a punch straight on Hai Kuan's nose.

Hai Kuan never expected Ling Zhenfei to strike suddenly, and Ling Zhenfei's speed was so fast that it was impossible to defend against. With one punch, he had broken Hai Kuan's nose.

"Ouch! You dare hit me? Brothers, kill him for me!" Hai Kuan screamed in agony, nearly falling over, and the gun he was holding flew out of his hand.

His subordinates were obedient and lashed out toward Ling Zhenfei.

In fact, with Ling Zhenfei's current strength, even if he just stood there and let them hit him, they might not be able to harm him.

But of course, Ling Zhenfei wouldn't do such a foolish thing. These men were after Han Lian, and they wouldn't let her go even though she was already close to collapsing. This made Ling Zhenfei extremely angry.

The mastermind behind these men was either Tang Sen or Wu Yingxiong, but judging by their strength, Tang Sen was the more likely. Ling Zhenfei wondered what leverage Han Lian had over them, that they were so intent on killing her.

Those men lacked Northern Spiritual Energy and, with their overwhelming numbers, they surrounded Ling Zhenfei and started beating on him. They all fought like street thugs, without any real technique.

Ling Zhenfei was at the Realm of Zhiyi. If he were to be brought down by these people, it would be truly shameful. All of their moves were extremely slow, and Ling Zhenfei could clearly see the trajectory of their attacks.

These men attacked him with gritted teeth, but Ling Zhenfei had already seen through the trajectory of their moves. He didn't even need to dodge and began lashing out at the people around him.

With a punch, he struck a man's nose and heard a faint crack. Ling Zhenfei knew that guy's nose must be broken.

After one punch, Ling Zhenfei turned and landed another on someone else. It also hit the nose, and with a crack, that person's nose broke, and blood spurted wildly.

Ling Zhenfei hit each person with a single punch, each blow landing on the nose, breaking it and causing a gush of blood.

Hai Kuan had brought many men, but each one, upon approaching Ling Zhenfei, ended up clutching their broken noses and retreating, with the fastest among them not even seeing how their noses got broken.

In just a few minutes, the twenty-odd men Hai Kuan had brought were all holding their noses and wiping away blood, a truly spectacular sight.

"Kid, you dare break my nose? I'll bloody kill you." Indeed, Hai Kuan was a petty ruffian. He picked up a brick from the ground and swung it at Ling Zhenfei.

Seeing their boss in action, those thugs couldn't stand idly by. Those who could pick up a brick did so, and those who found other objects used them to charge at Ling Zhenfei once again.

Ling Zhenfei sneered inwardly. Hai Kuan and his men really overestimated themselves. If they were coming for a fight, he was more than happy to oblige.

Hai Kuan, in a furious rage, rushed forward, hurling the brick he held at Ling Zhenfei. Ling Zhenfei's hand moved like lightning, and with one punch he hit Hai Kuan right in the eye socket.

Before Hai Kuan could strike with his brick, he was sent flying and crashed to the ground.

The other kids charged in, shouting slogans.

"Kill him!"

"The wimp is asking for it!"

Their shouting was largely to bolster their own courage, but no matter what they yelled, the vast gap between them and Ling Zhenfei meant they couldn't even touch a hair on him.

Ling Zhenfei's movements were electric fast. Seeing the man in front rushing toward him, he smiled faintly and punched him right in the eye socket.
