"Li San, back down... and stop assuming you're the best in the world!" Fu Chuanqi mocked Li San, then glared at Lin Feng coldly. "Lin Feng, just surrender! If you continue to harm my Sky Wolf Gang members, things are going to get ugly."

"Surrender? The sun hasn't even set yet, and you're already dreaming?" Lin Feng sneered. He didn't regard Fu Chuanqi, the Gang Leader of the Sky Wolf Gang, at all. He dared to demand my surrender, what nerve! A surge of anger fluttered within Lin Feng. His hand twitched slightly, a tiny silver needle held between his index and middle fingers.

Seeing Lin Feng show him no respect, Fu Chuanqi's expression darkened slightly. His palm turned, fingers splayed, and he reached out to grab Lin Feng's arm.

However, just as his hand was about to grab Lin Feng's arm, Fu Chuanqi's vision suddenly blurred. Lin Feng's figure had disappeared from the spot!

Fu Chuanqi's pupils dilated in alarm, a look of terror flashing in his eyes. A powerful force then slammed into his stomach, nearly sending him flying!

It turned out that Lin Feng had silently and successfully kicked Fu Chuanqi.

A muffled thud sounded. Lin Feng had indeed landed a kick on Fu Chuanqi, but it didn't move him at all.

As a powerful cultivator at the fourth level of Inner Strength, Fu Chuanqi's body pulsed with power. It wasn't likely Lin Feng could hurt him unarmed in just a few moves.

"Boss!" Seeing Fu Chuanqi get hit in the stomach by Lin Feng, two members of the Sky Wolf Gang rushed up to support him.

"Hmph, I'm fine! All of you, attack together!" Fu Chuanqi patted the footprint on his stomach and commanded coldly.

The members of the Sky Wolf Gang showed no weakness. They quickly encircled Lin Feng, and several of them pounced directly toward him.

"I want to see how many of my kicks you can withstand!" Lin Feng watched as the Sky Wolf Gang's encirclement tightened, his brows furrowing slightly. Adopting an unconventional stance, he suddenly leaped two to three meters into the air and launched a series of flying kicks at the Sky Wolf Gang members.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Lin Feng unleashed a continuous barrage of flying kicks in mid-air, his legs a blur of shadows. More than a dozen Sky Wolf Gang members were instantly sent flying, crashing into the wall amidst deafening screams!

The men Fu Chuanqi had brought to "surround and suppress" Lin Feng were all experts with at least level-two Inner Strength. He had thought capturing Lin Feng would be a walk in the park. Who knew Lin Feng's strength was so unfathomable? Even Fu Chuanqi himself was no longer confident he could win against Lin Feng.

"You're courting death..." Fu Chuanqi had no choice. Despite knowing Lin Feng's strength, he had to lead by example and charge toward Lin Feng.

Seeing Fu Chuanqi suddenly rush toward him, Lin Feng also grew serious. He knew Fu Chuanqi was not an ordinary gang member. Without a weapon, it would be difficult for Lin Feng to break through his Inner Strength defense.

However, no matter how strong Fu Chuanqi's defense was, his acupoints were always a weakness. The silver needle in Lin Feng's hand was ready to deliver a fatal blow.

Just as Fu Chuanqi prepared to approach Lin Feng again, and Lin Feng was about to use the silver needle, a very composed, middle-aged man's voice suddenly boomed from outside the circle, "Fu Chuanqi! Lin Feng! Both of you, stop!"

Lin Feng didn't react to this voice. Fu Chuanqi, however, shrank back like a mouse that had seen a cat. He looked bewildered in the direction of the voice and exclaimed incredulously, "Old Bai, you're on board too?"

A tall, middle-aged man dressed in a Tang suit appeared on the scene with about a dozen of his subordinates, his face stern.

Long Shaotian paled upon seeing this man in the Tang suit, greeting him with a trembling voice, "Mr. Bai, are you alright? I... I didn't know you were on the ship too. I apologize for my negligence."

The middle-aged man was none other than the Sect Leader of the Hong Sect, Bai Yuanshan!

The Hong Sect was an even more powerful organization than the Qingzi Sect. Moreover, their conduct was much more upright; they had been legitimized for over a decade. Unlike the Qingzi Sect, which had evolved into a commercial group, the Hong Sect was not so high-profile. They had always quietly conducted legitimate businesses. If one wasn't truly involved in the underworld, they would have almost forgotten that a faction like the Hong Sect even existed!

As a Hall Master of the Qingzi Sect, Long Shaotian naturally recognized Bai Yuanshan. He had indeed invited Bai Yuanshan to this boxing match. However, Long Shaotian didn't believe he was qualified to invite such a distinguished senior. Ultimately, he received news that the Hong Sect's representative attending the event was a Hall Master named Lei Yun, whose status was similar to his own. Bai Yuanshan had not appeared.

This was understandable. Long Shaotian had merely been trying his luck, hoping Bai Yuanshan's appearance would lend him some prestige. Bai Yuanshan's absence was, therefore, perfectly reasonable and expected.

But Long Shaotian never imagined that Bai Yuanshan, who had seemingly not boarded the ship, would appear at this very moment... Was his target Lin Feng?

"I wouldn't dare! Lord Dragon, you're quite the imposing figure these days. How would you have time for an old relic like me?" Bai Yuanshan looked at Long Shaotian with clear dissatisfaction, his voice heavy. "Truth be told, I'm wary of associating with you now. I fear that if you sold me out, I'd still be helping you count the money. Why should I bother with you?"

So... Bai Yuanshan was standing up for Lin Feng? Long Shaotian naturally knew Bai Yuanshan was deliberately provoking him, mocking how he had abandoned Lin Feng. An unsettling feeling crept over Long Shaotian. He couldn't fathom how Lin Feng could possibly be connected to Bai Yuanshan. It seemed his earlier decision had been a mistake!

"Old Fu, I won't say much else." Bai Yuanshan then looked at Fu Chuanqi and pointed at Lin Feng, his tone calm as he continued, "Regarding this young man, I only have one thing to tell you. I stake my decades of reputation on this: this young man named Lin Feng is absolutely not the kind of despicable fool who would commit murder and robbery."

"Old Bai, you... this is..." Fu Chuanqi looked at Bai Yuanshan, clearly troubled. He and Bai Yuanshan were old acquaintances of many years, and there was a great deal of trust between them. But Fu Chuanqi couldn't understand why Bai Yuanshan would suddenly vouch for Lin Feng.

What exactly is the background of this Lin Feng?

"Old Fu, I've laid my cards on the table," Bai Yuanshan said, looking at Fu Chuanqi before his gaze shifted to Lin Feng, a light smile playing on his lips. "I can guarantee that Lin Feng is not the murderer. If you're investigating a case, then follow standard investigative procedures. If you insist on going after Lin Feng, then I'm afraid... my Hong Sect might just have to protect him!"

Lin Feng was completely baffled. Even now, he still didn't understand why this Sect Leader Bai, who had appeared out of nowhere, would suddenly speak up for him.
