39 Merciless Beat Up

"You!" Da Feng gritted his teeth at this man, before his eyes lit up maliciously. "If your so confident, why don't you receive one of my attacks?" He sneered.

Cultivators likes their faces so much. If Zhou Lin didn't dare accept his offer, then that means he is showing that he is a coward in front of these cultivators. Isn't that tantamount to a social suicide?

Zhou Lin only blinks his eyes at his words, before snorting at him. Without saying anything, his figure becomes a blur, before...

PAK!

"Aaaaargh!?" A stinging pain occurs on his cheek as he spits out blood, falling on the ground on his butt.

The others are surprised at that too. He actually dared to attack him without answering his question. That's too shameless even for an expert!

Zhou Lin doesn't care about what they thought. He only looks coldly at Da Feng.

"What am I? A child? Why would I willingly receive attacks from you?" He said with a sneer. "You're not qualified to make terms with me!"

"Shameless!" Da Feng shouted as he tries to stand up. "Don't you have any honor? Are you still a man?" He grunted in anger as he glares at him.

PAK!

"Aaaaargh!?"

The others winces at that as they saw Zhou Lin smacking his face again with the flat of his sword. Even Gin Xuo, who has just stood up from his prone position and looking at the scene on the back is wincing at that. His hand instinctively going to his cheek as he recalls about the feeling of being smacked by the flat of Zhou Lin's blade.

"YOOOOUUUUUUUU!" Da Feng shouted in anger. His face looking red with the smack, and also in anger.

This is the first time someone just disregarded his words and humiliate him. Zhou Lin is not acting like a typical cultivator at all!

"Your here to mess with my shop, so don't blame me for being impolite!" Zhou Lin simply said as he takes a step forward at Da Feng.

Seeing that, Da Feng immediately decided to go for an attack. As Zhou Lin is not trying to swagger, or even show anyone face at all, why would he be polite too?

"It's a battle to the death..... huh?" Though as he takes a step forward to attack Zhou Lin, the figure of the mysterious expert vanishes from their eyes. Causing all of them to gasp in wonder.

PAK!

"F*CK!?" Da Feng curled on the ground, feeling his cheeks swelling up. He felt like even some of his teeth seems to have been damaged due to that particularly strong blow.

"You want a battle to the death? You can't even keep up at me!" He heard Zhou Lin saying. "I'll just play you to death before you can even think of causing trouble for me!" He added with a mocking tone.

Da Feng didn't say anything else. He tries to charge at Zhou Lin once more. His movement is quick, and it only takes a blink of an eye before he got to Zhou Lin's position.

Or Zhou Lin's former position, as he just vanishes once more.

"What!?" Da Feng widened his eyes, before instinctively trying to protect both of his cheeks with his arms.

BONK!

"Aaaaaaaaaaargh!?!?" Da Feng curled to the ground once more, his hand moving to the top of his head as he felt his brain being shaken up by that smack.

Zhou Lin changes the angle of his attack and smack the top of his head with the flat of his blade. It shows just how skillful he is at the blade that he hasn't accidentally cut him in half.

Though, this is humiliating. He wasn't even trying to kill him. He's just humiliating him too much. Does he see him as an entertainment?

"I'll kill you!" Da Feng spat with a wrathful roar, as he glares intensely at Zhou Lin.

"Try it. Are you even qualified?" Zhou Lin simply says with a cold expression, before his figure vanishes once more.

____________________________________________

Some time later....

PAK! PAK! PAK! BONK! PANG! BANG! PAK! BLAM!

The others watch as Zhou Lin utterly overwhelmed Da Feng with simple swings of his swords. He only uses his mysterious movement techniques that makes it impossible to perceive him, and his enemy is totally suppressed.

Da Feng is like a child being played with by an adult. Despite flailing around and trying to use his devastating techniques, he was always interrupted with a smack from the flat of Zhou Lin's blade.

Murong Shen and the others was expecting to see an epic fight, where the skies will fall and the ground will shake. Da Feng is a Mountain Realm expert, someone who is like a god in this region.

He is actually being heavily suppressed by this mysterious cultivator. Also, he wasn't even using any flashy techniques!

It feels like he was beyond the Mountain Realm. He is also a bit younger than Murong Shen. Doesn't that mean that this mysterious figure is more of a genius than him?

Gin Xuo and the others winces as they saw Da Feng being obliterated by Zhou Lin. Regardless of how he tries to move, Zhou Lin doesn't care as he smacks any opening he shows within his body.

If he tries to block his face, he will hit his gut. If he blocks his stomach, he will hit his nape. It always changes, and they always were surprised when he was hit on a place they weren't expecting.

Zhou Lin's movements are so great. Like a seamstress who weaves their thread carefully on their crafts. The way he moves is so mysterious. His footsteps makes it impossible to see where he would go next. His mysterious concealment techniques is also very secretive that he can hide from every angles, no matter how many are focusing at him.

Gin Xuo froze in fear at that. His plan to kill Zhou Lin thoroughly vanishing, and his legs becoming weaker in fear.

He just saw Da Feng being totally suppressed. What of him who is only at the higher stages of the Human Realm? Isn't that courting death?

Da Feng is also becoming depressed. His enthusiastic movements awhile ago is becoming more lax. He is becoming sloppy with his strikes, and mostly only just uselessly flailing around.

Even when he tries to call for his men, they were all smack on the head as if they are unruly children being taught a lesson. They can only stand on the side, and hope that Zhou Lin doesn't notice them anymore.

After another smack from his head, Da Feng finally admits defeat as he was forced to kowtow on the ground with his weakening legs.

"I admit my lose! Please have mercy!"

He gritted his teeth at that. Feeling as if the world is unfair to him. He can't believe that his road to revenge will actually be met with a heavy roadblock. It's even on the person they were targeting.

He thought this region didn't have any Mountain Realm experts. The Sects residing on this region won't care that much on the smaller cities like this, so he thought there will be no problems in this mission. Why is this person even staying here?

He can only lament that they tried targeting and causing trouble to his shop. He even wanted to blame Gin Xuo at putting him in this kind of suffering. If not for Gin Xuo's petty anger against the only staff of this pavilion, they wouldn't have met Zhou Lin.

Even if he can't achieve against Zhou Lin, they will at least go to the City Lord and snatch the Crown Fire Jewel, which is a great fire attribute artifact. They needed it for one of their Sect Elders.

Now they can't even do that. Da Feng is already battered. He thinks he might need months before he can recover again.

Zhou Lin only sneered at his begging, before kicking him in the face, causing him to lay flat on the ground after being blown away from his kowtowing position.

"Aaaaaaargh!?" He screamed in pain, while feeling shocked and depressed.

'Didn't I asked for mercy? Why are you still attacking me?' He thought while feeling like crying now.

"I have to be sure you won't dare do this again. You also cause my shop to stop operating, so I have to vent my anger too!" Zhou Lin said before continuing. "Isn't this how you do things here?" He said with a snort.

Another reason Zhou Lin is continuing is because he knows Cultivators likes to go for revenge. If he didn't go and thoroughly curbed the ego of this person, then how can he be at peace?

He also won't just kill him. If he just kills him, wouldn't that be letting him go easily?

He has already messed with him. He has to be thorough to totally make him scared of him. He thinks arrogant Cultivators can only be daunted by absolute power. They can't be reasoned with after all.

Of course, he doesn't plan to let him go that easily. He might not be going to kill him, but he will make sure others will do that in his stead.

Why would he be the one to kill them? That will just make those related to this guy to hunt him!

It's popular for Xianxia novels that every enemies have a stronger backer behind them. Then that stronger backer will have an even stronger backer, and so on. He still felt unsure about his own strength, and this person seems to be friends with someone he has killed in the past.

If Da Feng is already this strong, then how about the person related to him? What about that person? Does he also has someone stronger backing him up?

He refused to take the burden of the grudges of some random strangers. He doesn't want to live full of trouble in his life. He wants it to be as peaceful as long as possible. That will give him time to make himself more stronger.

"No....!" Da Feng was thoroughly convinced. Zhou Lin is a maniac. He can't possibly be reasoned with a simple apology.

He wanted to run away now, but he failed as Zhou Lin quickly discerned what he is trying to do. With his figure blurring once more, he heard the sound of bones breaking, before Da Feng falls on the ground.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaa!?!?" He screamed, his eyes widening before looking down. His leg are bent at an irregular angle, making it extremely agonizing.

"Do you dare run from me?" Zhou Lin said coldly, before turning to the others who are along with Da Feng. "How about you? Does anyone dare to run from me?"

They were actually planning to run away. Even Gin Xuo is trying to sneak out of this place. Though they immediately stopped trying to think of such nonsense when they felt the full brunt of Zhou Lin's intent.

They were fully suppressed by his intent alone. They can't even muster the strength to move their legs.

Seeing that, Zhou Lin grinned before looking at Da Feng once more.

BONK!

"AAAAAAAA!? STOP!" Da Feng felt like he is going crazy as he was smacked in the head again.

"Are you going to stop scheming to take revenge at me?" Zhou Lin asks.

"... Yes, I won't..."

Zhou Lin sneered at his words. "Not sincere enough!"

PAK!

"Aaaaaaaaargh!"

"Are you going to stop going after me?"

"I won't, Senior! Please have mercy!"

Zhou Lin shakes his head. "I still feel your harboring ill intent at me!"

PAK! PAK! PAK!

The others can only watch as they saw Zhou Lin destroying all of Da Feng's dignity. Despite being a Mountain Realm expert, he was reduced into a retard by Zhou Lin's smacks.

".... This.... we should remember not to offend the Pavilion Master." Murong Shen muttered to his fellow Inner Sect Disciples, which they also nodded too in agreement.

The others like Gin Xuo were not spared as they were taken by Zhou Lin's public beating of his opponents. More people are gathering, wincing and feeling a bit scared, and also a bit of amazement at Zhou Lin's daring figure.

'I'll make sure you won't even think of going for revenge against me after this!' He swore upon his heart, as he smacks the head of Da Feng again.
