Qing Mu was very satisfied with his slash; he felt it was the peak performance of his life! In the state of Man-Sword Unity, he was confident that he could cut Ling Feng into two halves with a single strike!

"Die!" Like a blade's edge, Qing Mu swept over Ling Feng!

Boom! A loud explosion as the piercing Sword Qi surged in all directions, even Tang Fengxiao and Feng Tianyi could feel the biting blast in the air!

They hurriedly protected Yun Hanrui, fearing that if she were hurt, they would truly have no face to meet Ling Feng.

On the other side, Lin Zhijie didn't receive such careful attention, as the sharp intent mixed in the air instantly rolled over Lin Zhijie's body!

"Ahhh!" Lin Zhijie felt as if countless tiny knives were slicing across his body, as countless fine cuts appeared on him and his body was immediately stained with blood!

However, his screams now didn't attract the attention of the others, as Tang Fengxiao and company were entirely focused on Ling Feng!

"Hiss!" Seeing the situation on the field, Feng Tianyi and Tang Fengxiao couldn't help but gasp in shock.

Feng Tianyi said with an admiring tone, "Feng Xiao, I think Brother Ling will be my idol from now on. Is it really okay for him to show off like this?"

Tang Fengxiao shook his head, "I don't think it's good, but... it's really cool!"

Facing Qing Mu's Man-Sword Unity, Ling Feng didn't make any special response. He just extended two fingers and firmly clamped down on Qing Mu's blade, just like Lu Xiaofeng's Spiritual Finger!

Qing Mu, on the other side, looked as shocked as if he had seen a ghost: "You... how can you possibly clamp down on my Wind Welcoming Slash?"

Ling Feng shook his head, "Is it difficult? The Wind Welcoming Slash isn't some profound sword technique. I'm using the most powerful finger technique in the jianghu, the Spiritual Finger! Clamping down on your lousy sword is just a matter of minutes, right?"

Pfft! Qing Mu spat out a mouthful of blood, "Do you think I'm uneducated? The Spiritual Finger is clearly Lu Xiaofeng's... No, that's fabricated!"

Looking disdainfully at Qing Mu, Ling Feng said, "How could you, a barbarian, possibly understand the profound mysteries of the Huaxia Cultivation World? Don't even mention the Spiritual Finger; I also know the Nine Yang Divine Skill and the Six Meridian Divine Sword. Want me to demonstrate for you?"

Qing Mu was furious, "Damn it, are you making fun of me?"

Ling Feng nodded, "Yes, you've just realized? I enjoy seeing you hate me so much, yet you can't beat me at all!"

"You..." Qing Mu spat out another mouthful of blood, the previous Man-Sword Unity had already consumed too much of his spirit and energy, and coupled with Ling Feng's taunts, his rage overwhelmed him, causing him to vomit blood incessantly.

"Fall down!" Ling Feng chopped on the back of Qing Mu's head, and he collapsed to the ground, eyes rolling back.

Tang Fengxiao and Feng Tianyi approached, "Brother Ling, you were so cool just now! What should we do now?"

Ling Feng looked around and said, "Feng Xiao, notify the Dragon Group to capture all these people, we must pry out something valuable from their mouths! This guy is a Jonin, and definitely not a simple character even in Fusang!"

Tang Fengxiao nodded and made a call to the Dragon Group.

Meanwhile, Ling Feng approached Lin Zhijie, who was still howling in pain, and coldly said, "Lin Zhijie, we meet again!"

At this moment, Lin Zhijie showed none of the previous complacency.

With a fearful gaze, Lin Zhijie looked at Ling Feng and stuttered, "Ling Feng, I was forced to do this, none of this was my intention. I really didn't want to harm Xiao Rui, you must believe me!"

By now, Yun Hanrui had regained her strength. She approached Ling Feng's side and, looking down at Lin Zhijie on the ground, her eyes filled with contempt, "Lin Zhijie, what's the point of saying these things now? Do you think I'm foolish enough to continue to trust you?"

Lifting his head, Lin Zhijie's face was etched with a plea, "I truly was under their control. As someone with no status, I had no way to break free from their control, and I could only comply with their demands! But you have to believe me, for all these years, I've helped you without reservation. Have you forgotten that?"

Watching the pathetic Lin Zhijie, Yun Hanrui had mixed feelings. She had found it hard to believe when Ling Feng told her about Lin Zhijie, but, trusting Ling Feng, she had agreed to stage a drama, hence the previous scenes!

This act had laid bare Lin Zhijie's true face to Yun Hanrui! She was now filled with regret. How could she not have discovered the wolf in sheep's clothing that Lin Zhijie was over the past five years?

Yet, when she looked at Ling Feng by her side, she felt somewhat better. After all, there were still people next to her who treated her sincerely, who genuinely liked her.

"Xiao Rui, you must believe me..." Before Lin Zhijie could finish, Yun Hanrui kicked him in the stomach, "Is the name Xiao Rui even for you to call?"

Ling Feng asked, "Xiao Rui, how do you think we should deal with this guy?"

Although Yun Hanrui wished she could tear Lin Zhijie to pieces, in the end, she said, "Hand him over to the police. I'm just so sick of seeing him now!"

Ling Feng frowned, "People like Lin Zhijie, if not dealt with completely, will always be a scourge. How about I kill him?"

"Kill someone?" Yun Hanrui was startled.

Although she was slowly coming to terms with Ling Feng's formidable power, in her heart, murder was a grave sin, something she couldn't accept!

Lin Zhijie felt a chill in his heart. He could sense the murderous intent in Ling Feng's words, and he wept and begged, "Don't kill me, don't kill me, please, I beg you, don't kill me!"

A flicker of hesitation crossed Yun Hanrui's eyes.

Ling Feng glanced at Lin Zhijie and said, "Fine, if you can offer something of value, I might consider not killing you. But if you remain delusional..."

"I confess, I'll confess everything!" Upon hearing the hope of survival, Lin Zhijie hastily said, "The mastermind behind all of this is a Fusang Person named Muteng Yiyang. That year..."

So Lin Zhijie spewed out how Muteng Yiyang had controlled him from the start and step by step laid out the plan to get close to Yun Hanrui.

Listening, Yun Hanrui felt chills. She never imagined that this conspiracy had been weaving its web slowly over the past six or seven years!

If Ling Feng hadn't appeared, the Chaoyang Group might really have fallen victim to Muteng Yiyang's schemes.

It took a full half hour for Lin Zhijie to clarify the whole story.

"If only you had been this forthright from the start!" Ling Feng snorted coldly, "Rest assured, I, Ling Feng, am a man of my word. If I say I won't kill you, then I won't."

"Thank you, thank you!" Lin Zhijie exclaimed with a hint of excitement.
