Facing the many powerhouses of the Five Lakes Group, Ling Feng remained dismissive, a faint smile playing on his lips. His gaze, sharp as a blade, fell upon Lei Zheng Tang, and he slowly said, "Five Lakes Group, is this all the manpower you have?"
Ling Feng's contemptuous expression was evident to everyone.
In an instant, they all sighed inwardly, deeming Ling Feng too arrogant.
Were these over a hundred martial arts powerhouses not strong enough?
Let alone others, the terrifying auras these powerhouses had just exuded were enough to make all the influential figures present tremble with fear.
Lei Zheng Tang, seeing Ling Feng's disdainful demeanor, couldn't help but twitch his lips.
However, he was, after all, a major figure. In Hanjiang, there was nothing or no one that could make Lei Zheng Tang change his expression.
Two people quickly approached from behind him, carrying a luxurious chair and placing it behind him.
Lei Zheng Tang then flicked his sleeve and sat down with imposing presence.
His posture immediately made everyone feel as if everything was under his control.
It was the aura of a true superior, an aura that compelled people to submit and kneel.
Before Lei Zheng Tang could respond, a man with a stern face stepped out from beside him, pointing at Ling Feng and reprimanding him, "You surnamed Ling brat, I know your martial arts prowess is not weak! But is the Five Lakes Group something you can look down upon?"
This man was Lei Zheng Tang's youngest brother, Lei Zheng Ming, only a few years older than Lei Hai Xuan.
He exuded an air of sharp brilliance.
"Open your dog eyes and see clearly, how many experts are behind me!"
Ling Feng shook his head with disdain.
"I don't fear telling you, we have thirty-six Inner Strength Grandmasters alone among our subordinates, and over seventy Outer Strength martial artists. What do you have to fight us with?"
As soon as Lei Zheng Ming finished speaking, gasps of astonishment echoed from all around!
Thirty-six Inner Strength Grandmasters?
What a grand display!
After all, the president of the Hanjiang Martial Arts Association, Niu Zhi Peng, was merely a peak Outer Strength master.
This meant that Niu Zhi Peng wouldn't even rank among these people.
This was the sky of Hanjiang!
Truly terrifying power that could cover the sky with one hand!
The humiliation felt by those who had been kneeling dissipated significantly, and they all looked at Ling Feng with excited frenzy.
Their faces were filled with schadenfreude; it was clear they were already envisioning Ling Feng being crushed to death by these powerhouses!
That would be something that would truly allow them to vent their anger!
But they soon noticed that Ling Feng's expression was incredibly calm, and even Yang Fei beside him showed no fear.
Instead, a bloodthirsty smile played on Yang Fei's lips!
Clearly, the flames burning in Yang Fei's eyes were surging battle intent. These people did not instill fear in Yang Fei; rather, they ignited his fighting spirit!
Perhaps only a situation like this could provide Yang Fei an opportunity to showcase his skills.
This was something Zhao Wen Jie, standing behind a few of them, understood very well!
Zhao Wen Jie was acutely aware of Yang Fei's strength.
However, in the current situation, should Yang Fei really be made to act?
He was a personal guard of the Heavenly Venerate. Having Yang Fei act would be a humiliation to Ling Feng!
"This ignorant Five Lakes Group!" Zhao Wen Jie cursed inwardly with resentment.
Seeing Ling Feng remain silent, Lei Zheng Ming's eyes immediately flashed with cold light.
He took another step forward, and a visible wave of energy rolled towards Ling Feng and the others!
"As someone in the martial arts world, you should know very well what these Grandmasters behind me represent. The people by your side are nothing in front of them!"
"You surnamed Ling brat, I'll give you a chance. Release my nephew Lei Hai Xuan immediately, and then commit suicide on the spot. Perhaps I can speak a few good words to my elder brother and leave you with an intact corpse!"
Arrogant!
Presumptuous!
These words were insufficient to describe Lei Zheng Ming's demeanor.
Merely revealing his strength was enough to force Ling Feng to release his nephew and commit suicide publicly. This was truly the height of contempt for Ling Feng.
Yet, it was this very demeanor that made those who had been kneeling deeply impressed.
Even Chu Jiang Hai and others, who knew Ling Feng's terrifying power, began to waver intensely.
"With so many martial arts powerhouses present, Ling Feng is finished this time!" Sun Ming was the first to exclaim excitedly.
Chu Jiang Hai, also feeling a surge of emotion, still said to Sun Ming, "Let's wait and see. Zhao Wen Jie and Tang Long beside Ling Feng are not to be trifled with. If they deploy people from the war zone, it will be quite a spectacle!"
"Heh, deploy soldiers from the war zone? Unless they've gone mad, that would be a formal declaration of war against the Five Lakes Group. Is it worth it for one Ling Feng?"
The chilling voice of the Jiang family matriarch emerged.
Although her words were blunt, many found them reasonable.
To mobilize the forces of the war zone against the Five Lakes Group for the sake of Ling Feng?
That would be too grand a gesture!
Moreover, with the strength of the Five Lakes Group, they might not be without countermeasures!
"Are you done with your nonsense?"
Yang Fei suddenly stepped forward, and an even more formidable aura of pressure surged towards Lei Zheng Ming!
*Bang!*
Lei Zheng Ming clearly felt a dull thud in his chest, and then he couldn't help but take a step back.
His eyes instantly became bloodshot, turning a deep crimson!
Such powerful pressure!
How could this guy be so strong? Could he be a martial arts Grandmaster at the peak of Inner Strength?
Just as Lei Zheng Ming was filled with shock, Ling Feng finally spoke again, "I said, with just these people from your Five Lakes Group, you're only here to die today. This much backing is far from enough!"
What?
Far from enough backing?
Everyone's eyes widened, staring at Ling Feng in disbelief.
If Lei Zheng Ming was arrogant before, then Ling Feng was utterly presumptuous!
With such a formidable formation already displayed, and with so many eyes watching, the comparison of strength between the two sides clearly showed Ling Feng's side at a disadvantage, and significantly so.
And yet, you dare to speak such wild words. This can only be described as utter arrogance!
Lei Zheng Tang's pupils contracted sharply upon hearing this.
His eyes were already filled with murderous intent at being so disdained by Ling Feng!
"Not enough? Hmph, what if you add my Wei family?"
"And my Huang family!"
Abruptly, two cold shouts exploded from a distance.
