Chapter 107: Chapter 107: Forcibly Seizing the Maiden

"Eh?" Shi Feng had not walked far when he suddenly felt alarmed, spotting a familiar white figure ahead of him, dressed in white, with long hair cascading down her shoulders like a waterfall, a slender figure, and a waistline delicate enough to be grasped in one hand.

Soon after, Shi Feng immediately realized something was amiss, chided himself with a wry smile, and said, "It seems it’s just a resemblance from the back, this woman is merely a commoner, without any Martial Arts Cultivation."

"I wonder how that girl is doing now."

Then, Shi Feng continued to follow the flow of people, "Move aside, all of you move aside!" Suddenly, he heard two loud shouts, and immediately after, two burly men burst out of the crowd, forcefully pushing their way through the masses with their robust arms swinging. Shi Feng noticed that their target seemed to be the same figure he had just mistaken.

The young girl in white clothes seemed to sense the commotion behind her, and as she turned around, she saw four burly hands reaching out to grab her, "Ah!" she screamed in fright, her face draining of color.

The two burly men, seeing the girl panic-stricken, grinned even more hideously as one reached for the girl’s arm.

But just as the two burly men were about to catch the girl, they saw her suddenly dart backwards, eluding their grasp. And before the girl, a boy who looked to be about fourteen or fifteen appeared out of nowhere.

"Ah!" When the girl saw herself about to be caught by the two men, her body inexplicably moved backward, dodging their lunges. Seeing the boy who had appeared before her, she immediately realized what had happened and hurriedly expressed her thanks, "Thank you."

"No need, you should go," Shi Feng said to the girl with a wave of his hand.

"Go? What do you take this young master for?" Just then, a sarcastic voice emerged from the crowd in front of Shi Feng, and soon after, a dark-skinned man with sly, rat-like eyes strutted out of the crowd, standing between the two brawny men who had appeared earlier.

"Who is this person? One of the Imperial City’s three great villains, Blackfaced Tiger Zhao Zhixin, it’s said he takes advantage of his old man’s power to commit all kinds of evil acts, and with lechery as his life’s motto, he forcefully takes civilian girls. In Imperial City, countless young women have suffered at his hands."

"Shh! Keep your voice down, do you want him to hear you?"

"This young man is probably out of luck, I’ve seen Zhao Zhixin abduct people before, and no one who stood up to him ended up well."

"It’s all because he has a father who’s the Prime Minister!"

The onlookers discussed in hushed tones.

"You! Kneel down! Then crawl over here slowly!" Zhao Zhixin pointed at Shi Feng, lifting his head high, his face filled with mocking laughter.

"Young master, you should run first, it’s my fault that I’ve involved you. I... ah." The girl behind Shi Feng also recognized Zhao Zhixin; her face was full of worry and helplessness.

"Hmm? Run! Haha." Zhao Zhixin heard the girl’s words and burst into laughter as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. "This is all my territory, run? Where could you possibly run to? My dear beauty, being noticed by me is the blessing you’ve earned in your past life. After I have my fun with this ungrateful brat, I’ll take you back to my abode and spoil you thoroughly. Heh, heh, heh, I’ll make sure you die of pleasure."

"This guy is sick in the head, you go first, I can handle things here," Shi Feng said, ignoring the lecherous man with the dark face and speaking to the girl instead.

"This..." The girl hesitated slightly upon hearing Shi Feng’s words.

"Damn it! You really think you can ignore me? And you! I told you to kneel and crawl over here; didn’t you hear me? Are you deaf or what?" Zhao Zhixin, feeling his authority challenged as the two talked in whispers and ignored him, pointed at Shi Feng and ordered the two muscular men beside him, "Beat that little bastard, but don’t kill him."

Upon receiving the command, the two muscular men lifted their stout arms and charged at Shi Feng, their power surging. Both men were Martial Masters and, in their eyes, the young man was no more than a Three-star Samurai. They both threw punches at Shi Feng without even using their full strength.

They were well aware of Zhao Zhixin’s character; he did not like to kill people. What he enjoyed the most was seeing people beaten to a pulp, lying on the ground like dead dogs, kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"My lord, I’m sorry, it’s my fault," the girl behind Shi Feng said with a face full of pity, foreseeing the young man’s tragic end and her own impending nightmare as the two muscular men approached.

As the two massive fists came at him, Shi Feng didn’t even bother to look, simply flexing his fingers before snapping them, sending two invisible seals into the fists of the men. Right after, the two muscular men staggered backward, retreating all the way back to Zhao Zhixin’s side.

"Huh? You two pieces of trash, what the hell just happened?" Zhao Zhixin roared, seeing his men retreat without even landing a blow.

The two muscular men exchanged confused looks, unable to understand what had occurred. They only felt that as they approached the young man, their bodies seemed uncontrollable, and they involuntarily backed away.

"What’s going on here?" someone in the crowd asked, looking puzzled as they spoke to the person beside them.

"What else could it be? The young man has concealed his Martial Arts Cultivation. He appears to be at the Three-star Warrior Realm, but he’s actually far beyond that. He has even surpassed those two Martial Masters. But what does that matter?" The speaker said indifferently, not seeing much promise in the situation. Many were aware that next to Zhao Zhixin stood a true expert, placed there by his father to protect him.

"Hmph, you two useless things; too many times it’s been up to me to reveal my trump card in the end. Now, probably everyone knows I have that trump card," Zhao Zhixin huffed at the two muscular men, followed by a loud shout, "Yins Hui, come out!"

"Ah!" Suddenly, a soft sigh rang out, and then a silver silhouette flickered through the crowd behind Zhao Zhixin, leisurely stepping over the onlookers’ shoulders towards them.

Many who got their shoulders stepped on were about to get angry but, seeing the silver figure above and the powerful aura it emitted, quickly sealed their lips.

The figure in silver arrived beside Zhao Zhixin in no time, with an air of composure. He was a man in his thirties with silver attire, long silver hair, handsome but with a somewhat sinister face, holding a purple feather fan adorned with a falling star pattern.

The silver-haired man fanned himself lazily with the purple feather fan, speaking casually to Zhao Zhixin, "Young Master Zhao, the men you recruit are becoming so useless, you should get rid of them promptly. It shouldn’t always be up to me to make a move against such trash. The task given to me by Lord Prime Minister was specifically to ensure your safety."
