Mu Feng stood in the backstage area, his gaze sharp and cold. "Since you've come, there's no need to hide. This isn't the place to resolve trouble. How about we move somewhere else?"
"Are you scared?" A voice echoed from a corner, and an old man emerged.
The elder appeared to be in his sixties or seventies, walking with a cane. His eyes were filled with ice and rage. "Who gave you the guts to harm our young master?"
A slight smile played on Mu Feng's lips. "No wonder Li Yongchao dared to confront me directly. It turns out he found a thug like you." He continued, "To reach the peak of Innate Realm and still act like a dog for someone else. You truly disgrace all martial artists."
Hearing this, the elder's face flushed with anger. "My surname is Li, and I'm the third ranked in the family, known as 'Swallow Li San'. Speed is my specialty."
Mu Feng's lips curved into a subtle arc. "Your stealth is quite good. If you had stayed hidden like a venomous snake, you might have caused some trouble. But your so-called pride in speed? I truly don't take it seriously."
"Seeking death!" Li San thrust his cane directly at Mu Feng's vital point, his surprise attack executed with ultimate speed. Even masters of the same level might not be able to defend against it. A ferocious look crossed his face. His purpose in coming here today was to eliminate Mu Feng. He knew Mu Feng had powerful escorts. Finding this opportunity hadn't been easy.
However, just as his cane was about to strike Mu Feng's throat, a sharp blade extended from the tip of the cane. As it was about to pierce him, the cane abruptly stopped in mid-air. Mu Feng maintained his calm smile, two fingers夹着 the blade. "I told you, your speed is insufficient."
Disbelief flickered in Li San's eyes. However, being a seasoned veteran, his reaction speed was incredibly fast. He abruptly tried to yank the cane back. But when he exerted force, he discovered that his strength held no advantage against Mu Feng. He gathered all his might, yet it remained motionless before Mu Feng.
Panic began to set in. He immediately abandoned the cane, retreated several steps with incredible speed, his eyes filled with vigilance. He then produced a weapon and aimed it at Mu Feng. "I may not be your match, but now I have a weapon. We were fully prepared for you. You will surely die today!"
With that, he didn't hesitate to pull the trigger. "Bang bang!" The continuous loud sounds caused everyone in front to pause slightly, looking towards the backstage area with confusion. Su Nianxue also reacted with surprise, turning her head to look at the crew setting up the stage. The person responsible quickly showed an embarrassed expression. "Perhaps there's an issue with the props we prepared." Saying this, he quickly apologized and headed backstage.
Meanwhile, backstage, Mu Feng moved with blinding speed, leaving afterimages in his wake. He walked towards Li San at an unhurried pace. Li San's eyes widened in terror. "How could you catch bullets?" "Even Grandmasters can't do that; at best, they can barely dodge. What realm are you?" His eyes were filled with dread. The opponent's speed was too fast; his own esteemed speed was nothing compared to him.
Mu Feng smiled gently. "I've already answered your questions. This is also when you answer mine. Tell me, what is the Li family's purpose in sending you? We should have no grievances between us. Is Li Yongchao truly going to such lengths just for my medicinal prescription?" He continued, "Aren't you afraid of repercussions from above? Especially if the weapon you're holding is discovered, they will show no mercy."
Li San gritted his teeth. "Don't try to trick me into talking. I will not utter another word. I know I cannot escape today, but I will give you no chance to interrogate me. The Li family will surely retaliate eventually. Walk slower on the road to the underworld and wait for you."
With that, he pointed the weapon at his own temple, preparing to pull the trigger. He intended to keep the last bullet for himself. His decisiveness was absolute. However, his opponent was Mu Feng. Just as he was about to pull the trigger, Mu Feng flicked out a silver needle, piercing Li San's finger. Li San felt his entire hand lose its function. His expression changed drastically. As he tried to switch hands, Mu Feng stepped forward, seemingly breaking the limits of space, and appeared before him. With a backhand strike, he slapped him. Li San didn't even see the shadow of the hand; he felt a pain on his face, and his body spun like a top, crashing into a nearby shelf.
At this moment, Mu Feng heard a sound and turned to see the front desk supervisor. The supervisor blinked. "Since there's nothing for you here, help out for a moment. Tell everyone out front that there was a problem with the props." After speaking, his figure was as swift as lightning, instantly appearing before Li San. Li San didn't even have time to react before his throat was seized, and the figure vanished from the backstage area.
Everyone watching was stunned, rubbing their eyes hard, doubting if they were hallucinating. Mu Feng directly threw Li San into the stairwell of the underground parking lot. It was a rarely used area, mainly connected to the elevators. "This place is quiet. We can chat slowly. What is the family's true objective? I believe you know." He continued, "A master like you must hold a high position in the Li family. If you cannot give me a clear answer, you will face eternal damnation today." His voice was calm, but to Li San, it felt like a chilling blade encroaching upon his heart.
Li San's voice trembled. "Indeed, there is no feud between us. These matters were all orchestrated by our young master. Besides coveting your medicinal prescription, our young master also has his eyes on Su Nianxue. His purpose in sending me here was because he found you to be a nuisance and wanted you eliminated. The objective is that simple." Mu Feng's face contorted into a cold sneer. "It seems I've been too lenient, making you think I'm easy to deal with."
