"Brothers, kill him for the young master!"
The leading thug shouted, and hundreds of thugs wielding steel pipes rushed towards Lin Feng like maddened beasts.
In the past, let alone a hundred thugs, even ten thousand, Lin Feng was confident he could defeat them all.
But now, his true qi was almost depleted, his strength not even one ten-thousandth of his peak.
Frankly, he was only slightly stronger than an ordinary person, and Lin Feng already realized he might not escape today.
Yet, even so, Lin Feng took off his shirt, revealing a torso covered in scars.
The drizzling rain poured on him, but the chill he felt was far less intense than the burning rage within.
Su Qingya was his inverse scale; touch her and die!
Today, Lin Feng would rather die fighting than live kneeling!
"Come on!"
Lin Feng let out a bestial roar, charged forward, snatched a steel pipe from one of the thugs, and began fighting them.
Fist against four hands, Lin Feng didn't know how many blunt blows he'd taken. With eyes fixed on one target, he fought like a bloodthirsty wolf.
True qi was being consumed, stamina was being drained.
After taking down over a dozen thugs, Lin Feng was hit hard on the forehead by a blunt object.
Blood sprayed out like a fountain, dyeing Lin Feng's unyielding face red, dyeing his scarred body red.
Boom!
With a few more blows, Lin Feng fell.
He fell into a pool of blood, fell in the pouring rain.
Lying on the ground, he struggled to open his eyelids. Looking at the surrounding thugs, he realized death was imminent, yet he felt no fear.
He braced himself with his arms and pushed himself up.
He refused to fall, no matter how hard the clubs hit him.
Lin Feng, having lived a life of battle, would die standing tall!
Bang bang bang!
The clubs fell on Lin Feng like raindrops.
Lin Feng was a bloody mess, beaten into a human pulp.
He had lost consciousness, had fainted.
But his legs were like unyielding steel bars, rooted to the ground. Even in his unconsciousness, he did not fall.
"Stop it, all of you!"
More than a dozen SUVs, sirens wailing, sped over. Ling Feiyan got out and shouted through a megaphone.
However, the frenzied thugs completely ignored Ling Feiyan's warning and continued to beat Lin Feng.
"Go!"
Ling Feiyan waved her hand coldly, and Xia Xue and Yang Ming immediately led their subordinates into the fray.
Ling Feiyan drew a police baton from her waist, walked into the crowd, and, one by one, took down the thugs with a strike each.
In less than a moment, all the over a hundred thugs were obediently crouching on the ground.
"Feiyan, look!"
Yang Ming discovered Lei Lingyun lying in the pool of blood, covered his mouth and nose, and called for others to come.
Ling Feiyan and Xia Xue approached Yang Ming. Seeing Lei Lingyun with his limbs, eyes, ears, and tongue crippled, their faces changed drastically.
"Who did this? Where is the culprit?"
Ling Feiyan roared, her sharp gaze sweeping over the hundred thugs.
She finally understood why Qilin had mobilized such a force.
Lei Lingyun was the son of Lei Bao, the underground boss of Qingcheng, and Lei Bao was the younger brother of Lei Zhan, a martial arts master from the provincial capital.
Now that Lei Lingyun was beaten into this state, Lei Bao and Lei Zhan would surely fly into a rage, and then Qingcheng would be plunged into bloodshed. The consequences were unimaginable!
To the surprise of Ling Feiyan and the others, all the hundred thugs pointed towards the bloodied figure standing in the rain.
"This person looks so much like..."
Xia Xue looked at the tall figure in the rain and vaguely thought of something.
Upon closer inspection, Xia Xue's entire being felt off.
"Lin Feng! Lin Feng!"
Xia Xue recognized Lin Feng and, in her panic, quickly shook his arm.
"It's Lin Feng?!"
Yang Ming was also shocked to hear this.
Ling Feiyan frowned, never expecting that the person being beaten by the thugs would be Lin Feng.
At the same time, Ling Feiyan realized an issue: Lei Lingyun had been crippled by Lin Feng.
"Call an ambulance, send him to the hospital for emergency treatment. Whether he can be saved depends on his fate!"
Ling Feiyan commanded expressionlessly.
Observing Lin Feng's injuries, Ling Feiyan was almost certain that Lin Feng was beyond saving.
What she couldn't understand was how Lin Feng, beaten to this state, could remain standing.
Also, wasn't Lin Feng skilled? How could he not even defeat thugs? Had she overestimated him before?
Ling Feiyan muttered to herself. She had always thought Lin Feng was a hidden master and planned to investigate him thoroughly.
But now, she felt she might have been mistaken.
...
Central Hospital.
Upon receiving the notification, Liu Mengyao and others rushed to the emergency room entrance.
"Xia Xue, what happened to Lin Feng?"
Liu Mengyao, running all the way, grabbed Xia Xue's arms anxiously as she looked at Xia Xue guarding the emergency room door.
"Miss Liu, Lin Feng's injuries are very serious. You need to be mentally prepared."
Xia Xue's heart was also filled with pain and anxiety. Enduring her complex emotions, she explained Lin Feng's condition to Liu Mengyao.
"Be mentally prepared, what does that mean?"
Liu Mengyao's eyes reddened, she didn't quite understand.
Xia Xue handed Liu Mengyao the critical illness notice: "The hospital said Lin Feng is barely hanging on by a thread and likely won't survive."
"What!?"
Liu Mengyao felt as if struck by lightning. She stumbled back several steps. Looking at the critical illness notice in her hand, she could no longer bear the blow and fainted.
"Sister Yao Yao!"
Luo Keke, startled, quickly supported Liu Mengyao and couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Little Lin, you absolutely cannot be hurt. Sister Yao Yao and I are waiting for you to come home. Don't scare us, okay?"
"No, I need to find the best doctors!"
Luo Keke wiped away her tears, fumbling for her phone.
But for a moment, Luo Keke didn't know who to call!
"That's enough! This is a hospital, not a place for you to make a scene!"
"Yang Ming, take them away!"
Ling Feiyan snapped unhappily.
Obeying the order, Yang Ming instructed his men to escort Liu Mengyao and Luo Keke to the adjacent ward first.
"I'll go find boss Qilin and hire the best doctor for Lin Feng!"
Xia Xue could no longer hold on. Tears of anxiety streamed down her beautiful eyes.
Only now did she realize how much she cared about Lin Feng.
Even if he was annoying at times, watching Lin Feng, a living person, on the verge of death, made Xia Xue's heart ache indescribably, as if her heart were being fried in hot oil.
Xia Xue didn't know how to describe this feeling.
She only knew that Lin Feng couldn't die! They had to find every possible way to save Lin Feng!
"Xia Xue, are you also being unreasonable? Going to find boss Qilin for Lin Feng? Who do you think he is?"
"Don't let personal feelings interfere with work. The doctors are already treating him, you should just wait for the results calmly!"
Ling Feiyan stopped Xia Xue.
"Little Xue, Feiyan is right. There's no use looking for anyone at this point. Lin Feng has been beaten this badly; even a divine immortal might not be able to save him!"
"Besides, even if he is saved, what then? Do you think Lei Bao and Lei Zhan will let him go?"
Yang Ming snorted, a sense of triumph and secret joy filling him.
He wished Lin Feng would die sooner!
