Chapter 725: Chapter 725 First One to Moan Loses Everything
"You! Do you know what you’ve done?!" the old elder from the city guards shouted angrily, pointing a trembling finger toward Li Ruoxi.
"Killing is strictly forbidden in Infinite Sword Domain City! No matter who your opponent is, you cannot simply kill someone within the city!"
The surrounding crowd immediately became quiet.
Many of them looked toward Li Ruoxi with complicated expressions.
Some were shocked by her earlier display of strength, while others were waiting to see how the city guards would handle the situation.
Li Ruoxi remained calm.
She stood beside Lin Feng with her rusted sword still in her hand. Her beautiful face showed no fear whatsoever.
Before she could say anything, Lin Feng casually stepped forward.
"Swords have no eyes," he said calmly. "Besides, those people already had the blood of countless innocent people on their hands. In my eyes, what we did was simply justice."
He glanced at the corpses lying nearby before continuing.
"We merely enacted the will of heaven."
"You!"
The old elder’s expression became even uglier.
"Enough with your senseless excuses! Do you think you can ignore the laws of Infinite Sword Domain City just because you are powerful?"
His voice echoed through the surrounding streets.
"This city has laws!"
The moment those words left his mouth, a powerful killing intent suddenly erupted from his body.
His eyes became ferocious, and the sword in his hand trembled violently as an intense bloodlust poured from it.
The surrounding cultivators immediately backed away.
"That old elder is angry."
"Looks like the city guards are really going to make a move."
"Who would have thought this beautiful woman would actually be forced to fight the city guards?"
"Still, that rusted sword of hers is terrifying."
Lin Feng merely glanced at the old elder before shrugging.
"If that is what you want, then my wife will humor you."
He calmly stepped aside and looked at Li Ruoxi.
"Just keep in mind that she isn’t as forgiving as I am."
Lin Feng smiled faintly.
"You witnessed what happened earlier, so you should already understand that."
He then reached into his storage ring.
With a flash of light, a comfortable chair appeared.
Lin Feng placed it on the side of the street, sat down, and crossed his legs.
The entire action was so casual that everyone around him was left speechless.
It looked as though he had come to watch a performance rather than participate in a confrontation with the city guards.
Lin Feng leaned back comfortably.
"Go ahead," he said lazily. "Make your strike quickly."
He glanced toward the night sky.
"My wife and I still have plenty of sightseeing to do tonight."
A faint smile appeared on his face.
"So don’t waste our time."
The old elder’s face darkened.
He had never encountered someone so relaxed while facing the city guards.
Meanwhile, Li Ruoxi slowly raised the rusted sword in her hand.
Her beautiful eyes became cold.
Since her husband had already given her permission, she had no reason to hold back.
The atmosphere instantly became tense.
And for some reason, the old elder suddenly felt that perhaps challenging this couple had been a very bad decision.
Instead of making a quick move, the old man from the city guards hesitated.
Captain Zhao Gang stood there with his sword in hand, but for some reason, he could not bring himself to take the first step.
His intuition was screaming at him.
Something was terribly wrong.
Every instinct he possessed was warning him that if he attacked now, he would lose his head.
It was not a vague feeling either.
The sensation was so vivid and terrifying that Captain Zhao could almost feel the cold edge of Li Ruoxi’s rusted sword resting against his neck.
His body instinctively tensed.
He had lived for millions of years and had survived countless battles.
Over such a long period of time, his intuition had saved his life more than once.
Yet this was the first time his instincts had screamed at him with such absolute certainty.
If he attacked, he would die.
The thought alone made Captain Zhao’s expression become solemn.
Unfortunately, the people surrounding them had no idea what was happening inside the old elder’s mind.
Seeing Captain Zhao standing still, they assumed that he was simply deciding how to deal with Lin Feng and Li Ruoxi.
Soon, the surrounding cultivators began whispering among themselves.
"Hah! That man actually dared to threaten Captain Zhao Gang. He’s really courting death!"
"I think so too. Captain Zhao is already a Divine Tribulation Realm expert and has lived for millions of years. A mere mortal like him doesn’t even deserve to speak to Captain Zhao!"
"He probably doesn’t understand who he’s dealing with. Just wait. I’m sure Captain Zhao will teach him a lesson soon."
"I can’t wait to see that mortal boy crying and begging for mercy."
The crowd became increasingly excited.
Many of them were already imagining Lin Feng being crushed by Captain Zhao’s overwhelming strength.
After all, in their eyes, the difference between a mortal and a Divine Tribulation Realm expert was simply too enormous.
Nobody believed that Lin Feng could possibly pose a threat.
Some even began laughing at his arrogance.
Little did they know that the person everyone was waiting to attack was actually the one desperately hesitating.
Captain Zhao Gang’s grip on his sword tightened.
He stared at Li Ruoxi.
Then he looked at the rusted sword in her hand.
The weapon looked ordinary.
Far too ordinary.
Yet his instincts continued screaming at him that the moment that sword moved, his life would end.
Sweat slowly formed on Captain Zhao’s forehead.
For the first time in millions of years, he found himself completely unwilling to make the first move.
Meanwhile, Lin Feng remained comfortably seated in his chair, watching everything unfold with an amused smile.
He could naturally see through Captain Zhao’s hesitation.
However, he had no intention of exposing it.
After all, this was supposed to be a show.
And his wife was the main character.
