Chapter 152: I Don't Come Cheap

"Hey, hey, hey! You really talk big, claiming you could even beat me?"

Wang Zu'er turned bright red with anger, pointing a slender finger right at Lin Feng's face. "Then do you dare to have a match with me? I guarantee I won't make you suffer like that old banshee just now."

"Why is that? Could it be that you think I'm handsome and have fallen for me?" Lin Feng looked her up and down, joking with a smile.

"In your dreams!"

Wang Zu'er widened her eyes and gave a contemptuous smirk. "I'm just afraid that if I beat you to death, there won't be anyone left to take me to Lin Feng."

"If you have any tricks up your sleeve, kid, use them all. Today, I'm going to see just how much capability a loudmouth like you actually has."

"Alright then, you'd better be careful."

Lin Feng smiled faintly. The moment his words finished, his figure suddenly vanished from his seat.

Even Su Qingxue was momentarily stunned, completely failing to see how Lin Feng had disappeared.

She turned her head to see that Lin Feng had already appeared right behind Wang Zu'er.

Wang Zu'er was startled as well, but quickly pinpointed Lin Feng's location. With a slight curl of her lips, she suddenly executed a low blow, thrusting a hand straight toward Lin Feng's vital spot.

With quick eyes and nimble hands, Lin Feng seized her wrist and bent it backward, using a bone-setting immobilization technique to restrain her. He chuckled lightly, "Little girl, trying to cut off my lineage? That's way too ruthless! Do you know how powerful I am now?"

"Hmph, your speed is decent, kid, but trying to trap me like this means you're seriously underestimating me."

Wang Zu'er let out a cold snort. With her free hand, she suddenly reached into her back pocket for cinnabar, bent down, and quickly drew a talisman in mid-air. Chanting an incantation, a blade of ice abruptly appeared right before her eyes.

This was none other than the Zhurong Ice Talisman from the Zhurong Talisman arts!

Guided by her hand gestures, the ice blade flew fiercely toward Lin Feng's throat.

Lin Feng frowned slightly and promptly released her. The summoned ice blade continuously circled around him to attack, its movement fierce and overwhelmingly fast.

Yet, before Lin Feng's eyes, it seemed like mere child's play. He spun his body continuously to dodge the ice blade. After a few rotations, the ice blade actually vanished into thin air.

"Huh? Where's my ice blade?" Wang Zu'er gestured back and forth, but no matter how she waved her hands, the ice blade refused to reappear.

A look of utter confusion instantly crossed her face!

Seeing her bewildered expression, Lin Feng chuckled. With a forward sweep of his right arm, the ice blade reappeared instantly. Like an icy dragon, it launched forward at high speed, flying straight toward Wang Zu'er's face.

"What?!"

Panic seized Wang Zu'er's heart. She never expected that Lin Feng could somehow conceal her ice blade.

Even stranger was that she could no longer control her own ice blade and was forced to dodge back and forth.

Swish!

After nimbly dodging the ice blade, she reached for the cinnabar to draw another talisman, only to find that when her hand brushed her lower back, her cinnabar was gone too.

At that moment, Lin Feng whistled at her. She turned around to see all her cinnabar gathered in Lin Feng's hand.

"You bastard! You actually stole my stuff!" Wang Zu'er's face flushed with anger.

Unfazed, Lin Feng casually pulled out a handful of cinnabar and, mimicking her movements, began drawing a talisman in mid-air.

The talismanic decree he drew was far more complex. A red talisman towering over a person's height was completed by him in no time.

Wang Zu'er stared in absolute shock and stupidity!

"Fierce Tiger Decree, manifest!"

With a roar from Lin Feng, the talisman in mid-air transformed into a fierce tiger. With a deafening roar, it viciously lunged at Wang Zu'er.

Bang!

Terrified out of her wits, Wang Zu'er fell straight onto her backside, crossing her arms defensively in front of her chest, completely powerless to fend off the tiger's assault.

Fortunately, Lin Feng had no intention of taking her life. Just as the fierce tiger was about to pounce upon her, it froze instantly in mid-air!

Lin Feng retracted his talisman, and the fierce tiger vanished.

"Phew, close call, close call. I almost died at this kid's hands."

Breathing a sigh of relief, Wang Zu'er slowly got to her feet and looked at Lin Feng in astonishment. "Hey, exactly who are you? What was the name of that talisman you just drew? Why is it even more powerful than my Zhurong Ice Talisman?"

"Like I said, I'm just a small fry by Lin Feng's side. As for the talisman I drew, you can call it whatever you like. Here's your cinnabar, I'm returning it."

With that, Lin Feng casually tossed her bag of cinnabar back to her, returned to Su Qingxue, and led her away.

Wang Zu'er quickly caught the pouch. Watching Lin Feng about to leave, she furrowed her brow tightly and called out loudly, "Hey! You still haven't told me the name of that talisman!"

"And what's your name? I'm Wang Zu'er. I want to make friends with you."

"I don't want to make friends with you. My girlfriend will get jealous. Besides, don't go looking for Lin Feng either. You're truly no match for him; going there is just marching to your death."

Without looking back, Lin Feng waved his hand, wrapped his arm around Su Qingxue's slender waist, and left the hotel.

Instantly, Wang Zu'er placed her hands on her hips in a huff and let out a cold snort. "You just wait for me! I will definitely find you. To think there's someone in this world who is better at using talismans than I am—I am definitely going to beat you!"

With that, she stomped away in anger as well.

After leaving the hotel with Su Qingxue, they hadn't walked very far when Lin Feng suddenly felt a sharp pain in his waist. Turning his head, he saw Su Qingxue pinching his waist hard.

"Qingxue, what are you doing?" Lin Feng asked with a pained expression.

"Hmph, did you have your fun flirting with that little girl just now? Next time you see her, are you going to let her kiss you too?" Su Qingxue asked, glaring at him while feigning anger.

"I didn't! Didn't I just make her leave quickly? Besides, she's nowhere near as pretty as you. As long as I catch a glimpse of you every day, no other woman could ever enter my heart," Lin Feng said with a quick spin of his eyes.

"Really?"

Su Qingxue continued to pinch him, not believing his words for a second.

"Of course! If I'm lying, may I turn into a dog. In this entire world, you are the most beautiful woman—how could I ever lose my heart to them? Qingxue, please let go of me. I promise I won't see her again, alright?" Lin Feng coaxed with a playful smile.

"I'll let you off for now!"

Su Qingxue let go of him in a huff, though worry quickly replaced the anger on her face. Puzzled, she asked, "By the way, why do all those people want to kill you? How did you offend them?"

"Actually, I have no idea either. All I know is that someone issued a bounty, and as long as they kill me, they can collect a massive reward. But none of them have the capability," Lin Feng said casually.

Today, letting Wang Zu'er go was actually a deliberate move to lower her guard and extract more clues from her.

After all, she was one of the top ten assassins in the world; the intelligence she carried must be far greater than that of ordinary killers.

"So that's how it is. Then how much money do they get for killing you? Can I just pay that money instead?" Su Qingxue asked innocently, staring at Lin Feng.

"Huh? You probably can't afford this. I'm very expensive."

Lin Feng replied with an awkward smile.
