Liu Chengfeng moved swiftly, a true master of the Martial King Level. But alas, his opponent today was Lin Xiao.

Even though ninety percent of his cultivation was temporarily stored within Su Qingning's Dantian, Lin Xiao was still a master of the Divine Martial Realm. Dealing with Liu Chengfeng was easier than crushing an ant.

Soon, Liu Chengfeng lunged at Lin Xiao, who stood motionless.

He really wanted to see how this trash was going to court death.

Liu Chengfeng's iron fist, carrying terrifying momentum, aimed a heavy blow at Lin Xiao's head.

Liu Chengfeng had calculated well. Today, he intended to teach the filthy beggar before him a harsh, bloody lesson. He would show Shao Mei'er who the real man worthy of her was.

Lin Xiao chuckled coldly. Just as Liu Chengfeng's fist was about to strike his head like lightning, Lin Xiao made his move. No, it was a kick.

The kick struck Liu Chengfeng's chest like a bolt of lightning.

BANG!

A muffled thud broke the silence of the security room. Before Liu Chengfeng could even react, his whole body was sent flying. He slammed hard against a nearby wall, which seemed to tremble from the impact before his body crumpled to the ground.

Liu Chengfeng felt like he was going to die. Every inch of him ached, especially the spot where Lin Xiao had kicked him. It hurt so much it felt like it was about to explode. He lay there like a dead dog, his pupils dilated and his breathing feeble.

After a minute or two on the ground, Liu Chengfeng finally felt like he had come back to life. His gaze immediately shot toward Lin Xiao, his earlier arrogance completely replaced by shock. He looked at Lin Xiao in utter disbelief, his lips moving as if to say something, but no words came out.

Lin Xiao walked over to Liu Chengfeng, looking down on him as if he were a pile of trash.

"Who… who exactly are you?" Liu Chengfeng asked, his voice as feeble as his breath.

Lin Xiao didn't answer his question directly. Instead, he said coldly, "Liu Chengfeng of Jinling City. Though young, he is exceptionally gifted, cautious in his actions, and of upright character. Worthy of a place on the list!"

BOOM!

Liu Chengfeng's mind went blank. If facing Lin Xiao's monstrous cultivation had only shocked him, now he was utterly dumbfounded. No, not just dumbfounded—he was scared witless. Truly and utterly petrified.

Indeed, what Lin Xiao had just recited was the exact evaluation written for him by the Dragon Lord when he first ascended the Dragon Emperor's List. Only two people in the entire world knew of this evaluation: Liu Chengfeng himself, and of course, the Dragon Lord.

This meant that Lin Xiao was truly the Dragon Lord.

Liu Chengfeng was stunned. Utterly stunned. No, it was more than shock—it was panic. A deep, primal fear radiated from the very depths of his soul.

I actually dared to disrespect the Dragon Lord.

As this thought flashed through his mind, Liu Chengfeng's face turned deathly pale. His body began to tremble, and he tried to stammer out something but didn't know how to start. A pleading look filled his eyes. The thought of standing up vanished, and he collapsed back onto his knees.

Just then, a knock came from the door.

"Captain, what do you need me to do?"

It was Pei Donglai's voice. It seemed he had sensed what had happened inside the security room.

Lin Xiao spoke indifferently, "Come in."

The door was pushed open, and Pei Donglai quickly stepped inside. He wasn't the least bit surprised by the scene before him; after all, he knew just how heaven-defying Lin Xiao's cultivation was.

"Hide him away," Lin Xiao said casually.

To be honest, Lin Xiao wanted to deal with Liu Chengfeng right then and there. But Shao Mei'er had already gone to find Shen Jingzhe, and Su Qingning might come over too. If they saw him handling Liu Chengfeng, they would obviously be frightened. So, Lin Xiao decided to hide him first and take care of him later.

"Captain, shall I kill him?" Pei Donglai asked in a deep voice.

"Just knock him out for now."

Frankly, the reason Lin Xiao didn't have him killed immediately wasn't fear of trouble. It was because this piece of trash was, after all, a member of the Dragon Emperor's List. In a way, he could be considered one of his students.

Pei Donglai nodded. He stepped forward and dragged Liu Chengfeng into the small room within the security office. This room was a simple resting place for guards on night duty, just large enough to fit a single bed. Without wasting words, Pei Donglai struck Liu Chengfeng on the back of the head, and he instantly passed out. Pei Donglai then hid him under the bed.

After taking care of everything, Pei Donglai came out of the resting room. Just as he was about to speak, Lin Xiao suddenly said, "Come on, punch me!"

Pei Donglai froze, his eyes bulging like a cow's. "C-Captain, what kind of joke is this?"

"Less nonsense. Do it now!" Lin Xiao commanded in a low voice. The volume was soft, but it carried a terrifying, murderous aura.

Startled into a shiver, Pei Donglai quickly threw a punch toward Lin Xiao's arm.

"Aim here," Lin Xiao said, pointing to his heart. "And put some force into it!"

Pei Donglai stared at Lin Xiao, even more shocked. He couldn't understand why his captain wanted him to attack. But Lin Xiao's words were orders—commands that brooked no rebuttal or doubt.

He dared not dawdle. He threw a punch directly at Lin Xiao's heart.

BANG!

A deafening sound erupted inside the security room. Lin Xiao stood unflinchingly in place, but Pei Donglai was sent flying backward as if struck by an immense force. He slammed hard against the wall before coming to a stop.

This was only because Pei Donglai's cultivation wasn't particularly high. If it had been Shen Jingzhe striking Lin Xiao with his full power, he would have likely been blasted straight through the wall. After all, the stronger the force of the attack on Lin Xiao, the stronger the rebound.

Having crashed hard to the ground, Pei Donglai stared at Lin Xiao, his expression a mixture of shock and terror. He couldn't understand it. He was the one who attacked Lin Xiao, so why was he the one injured, and so severely at that?

Pei Donglai felt his qi and blood churning violently inside him, causing excruciating pain. He forced himself to stand and took several deep breaths, which finally eased the agony somewhat.

Just as Pei Donglai was about to speak, Lin Xiao suddenly flopped to the ground. He lowered his voice and spoke rapidly, "Play along with me!"
