47: Chapter 47 Victory

"Wasn't he killed by a Yao Beast?" Senior Sister Su Qingya asked in return.

"Hmph, it is clear that Wang Ao died after someone shattered his heart with a single punch, yet you claim he was killed by a Yao Beast?" Guard Lu Fang replied coldly.

Upon hearing this, Senior Sister Su Qingya hurriedly looked closely at Wang Ao's corpse!

Only then did she discover a blood-colored fist mark remaining on Wang Ao's chest.

Guard Lu Fang's face was as dark as water. His cold gaze swept over Senior Sister Su Qingya and Lin Feng before he sternly demanded again, "I will ask one last time: who killed Wang Ao?"

"It was me!" Lin Feng replied calmly.

"You?" Senior Sister Su Qingya and Guard Lu Fang were both shocked.

"That's right!" Lin Feng replied coldly, "Earlier, while I was slaying Yao Beasts, Wang Ao tried to ambush me while I was exhausted, so I killed him in self-defense."

"You say it was self-defense, but who can prove it?" Guard Lu Fang asked angrily.

Guard Lu Fang and Wang Ao's father, Hall Master Wang Biao, had once been fellow disciples at the Fengyun Martial Arts Hall.

Therefore, this time, after Wang Ao bribed him with two thousand taels of silver, he had intentionally placed Wang Ao in this squad.

He had originally intended to take good care of Wang Ao!

He hadn't expected that Wang Ao would be killed by Lin Feng now.

"Believe it or not, it's up to you!" Lin Feng sneered!

Proof? What proof!

"You..." Upon hearing this, Guard Lu Fang was so angry that smoke was practically coming out of his orifices.

This Lin Feng was simply too arrogant.

In a fit of rage, Guard Lu Fang brandished his Demon Suppression Blade, ready to strike!

"Stop!" Just then, Senior Sister Su Qingya shouted, her voice cold, "I can prove it!"

"Wang Ao harbored malicious intentions and wanted to take advantage of the situation to harm Junior Brother Lin, which is why he was killed by Junior Brother Lin in self-defense!"

"Hmph, did you see this with your own eyes?" Guard Lu Fang asked again!

"That's right, I saw it with my own eyes!" Senior Sister Su Qingya nodded.

"It had better be that way. Otherwise, if I find out that someone from your Jidao Martial Arts Hall killed an innocent person, I will not spare you!" Guard Lu Fang snorted coldly, left these words behind, and flicked his sleeves, walking away.

Seeing Guard Lu Fang leave in anger, Lin Feng looked at Senior Sister Su Qingya and asked, "Senior Sister Su, what is the relationship between Guard Lu Fang and Wang Ao?"

"Yes!" Senior Sister Su Qingya nodded, "Guard Lu Fang also came from the Fengyun Martial Arts Hall and was a fellow disciple of Wang Ao. Now that you have killed Wang Ao, he is naturally holding a grudge!"

"I see!" Lin Feng realized.

It seemed that by killing Wang Ao today, he had completely offended the Fengyun Martial Arts Hall.

However, Lin Feng did not regret it!

If given another chance to choose, he would still kill Wang Ao without hesitation.

For those who want to kill him, Lin Feng never shows mercy.

...

After a while, the Qi and blood in Lin Feng's body began to gradually recover.

"Hahaha... The demons have been driven away, we have won!"

"We finally survived!"

"Thank you, my lords, for saving our lives!"

...

Just then, waves of cheers like a tsunami resounded throughout the entire village.

Countless villagers who had been hiding in their houses rushed out, shouting loudly.

Senior Sister Su Qingya looked up into the distance, focused for a moment, and said with a smile, "The demons have finally retreated!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng also secretly breathed a long sigh of relief.

After resting for a while, Lin Feng took out his jade token and began to collect battle merits.

Every time he lightly touched a Yao corpse, a wisp of red Aura would escape into the jade token.

Moreover, the collection of battle merits with this jade token was unique!

Once collected once, it could not be collected a second time!

This was also to prevent anyone from falsely claiming battle merits in the Demon Suppression Bureau.

Lin Feng and Senior Sister Su Qingya returned along the original path!

Along the way, the two of them continuously collected their respective battle merits!

When they returned to the village entrance, they discovered that Monster Suppressing Guard Li Bo and the others had already been waiting there.

On the ground nearby, four corpses were lying quietly!

Lin Feng looked closely, and his eyes narrowed involuntarily!

He saw that among the dead was Wang Feng from his own Jidao Martial Arts Hall.

Besides him, Monster Suppressing Guard Yi Yang, one of the three great guards, was also dead.

The other two corpses were Du Xing, whose face was blurred, and Wang Ao, whose heart was shattered.

This ten-man squad guarding Nanlin Village had four dead and six injured!

Including Lin Feng, Monster Suppressing Guard Li Bo, Senior Sister Li Mei, and Senior Sister Su Qingya, everyone had injuries of varying severity.

It was evident how tragic this battle had been.

Of course, if Senior Sister Su Qingya hadn't rescued him in time this time, Lin Feng would likely have been in grave danger.

"Junior Brother Lin, Junior Sister, you're back?" Seeing Lin Feng and Senior Sister Su Qingya arrive, Senior Sister Li Mei hurriedly greeted them and asked with concern, "How are you? Are you okay?"

"We're fine!" Lin Feng and Senior Sister Su Qingya shook their heads in unison, "What about you, Second Senior Sister?"

"I'm fine too!" Senior Sister Li Mei replied.

"By the way, Second Senior Sister, the demon army came with such a fierce Aura, why did they suddenly retreat?" Senior Sister Su Qingya asked with confusion.

Upon hearing this, Senior Sister Li Mei reached out and pointed at Monster Suppressing Guard Li Bo, "This time, we owe it all to Lord Li, who spared no effort to use his trump card and fought the leading demon to a mutual injury! Seeing that they couldn't win after a long time, the leading demon had no choice but to lead his followers away reluctantly."

Lin Feng and Senior Sister Su Qingya looked at Monster Suppressing Guard Li Bo in unison!

Upon looking, they realized that Monster Suppressing Guard Li Bo was indeed seriously injured.

His face was pale, without a hint of color.

Even on his chest, there was a blood hole the size of a bowl.

It was currently tied tightly with cloth strips, and strands of shocking blood were still seeping out.

"Cough, cough..." Just then, Monster Suppressing Guard Li Bo coughed and said weakly, "Everyone, you all did very well in this defense of Nanlin Village. Although we suffered some sacrifices, we finally succeeded in driving away the invading demons. I, Li, on behalf of the surviving villagers of Nanlin Village, thank you all!"

After speaking, Monster Suppressing Guard Li Bo bowed deeply to everyone with difficulty.

"Lord Li, you are too polite, this is what we should do!"

"Lord Li, you don't need to do this!"

"That's right, Lord Li, you are making us feel unworthy!"

...

Lin Feng and the others hurriedly returned the salute.

In fact, in this operation, Monster Suppressing Guard Li Bo had contributed the most and had the greatest merit!

Yet he was not arrogant about his achievements and still treated everyone with courtesy.

It was truly commendable.

Just then, a large group of people came in a mighty force!

They were all the surviving villagers of Nanlin Village.

The leader was an old man of about sixty, with a full head of white hair.

Supported by a young boy, he walked towards the crowd!

Upon approaching, the old man was the first to kneel on both knees.

Immediately after, hundreds of villagers knelt down in unison.

"I, Wu Tian, on behalf of the villagers of Nanlin Village, kowtow to all our benefactors!"

Bang, bang, bang...

Soon, all the villagers were kowtowing to the six of them, including Lin Feng.

"Old man, you don't have to do this, please get up quickly!" Seeing this, Monster Suppressing Guard Li Bo hurriedly stepped forward and helped the old man up.

Seeing this, Lin Feng and the others did not stand idly by and helped everyone get up.

Immediately after, Monster Suppressing Guard Li Bo gave an order, asking everyone to cooperate with the villagers and start cleaning up the battlefield.

They transported all the demon corpses to a large pit outside the village and burned them collectively.

To avoid the spread of plague in the future.

During the transportation, Lin Feng took out his jade token and recorded the battle merits of the Yao Beasts he had previously slain.

They were busy until late at night before they stopped!

For safety reasons, and to avoid the demons making a surprise counterattack, Monster Suppressing Guard Li Bo asked everyone to continue resting by the river outside the village.

...

The night was deep, and all things were silent!

Lin Feng leaned against a crooked tree, his eyes closed, motionless!

As if he were fast asleep!

Swoosh! Just then, a black shadow suddenly approached at high speed...
