“Is it dawn?”
Ge Ying groggily woke from her sleep. She was likely the only one who could sleep soundly here. Li Feng and Ge Feng hadn’t slept all night. In the perilous Hundred Thousand Mountains, how could they rest easy?
Moreover, though they’d agreed to team up, one could never be too cautious. In these mountains, while ferocious beasts were dangerous, humans were even more so.
“It’s dawn. Time to get up,” Li Feng said with a faint smile.
Suddenly, chaotic footsteps approached. Five middle-aged men appeared before them, led by a one-eyed man. Each wielded a large blade, radiating killing intent.
Li Feng instantly grew alert. These five were no pushovers. In his judgment, they were slightly stronger than Tian Lang’s group but a bit weaker than the Ge siblings. To venture into the Hundred Thousand Mountains, they were formidable.
“Haha, aren’t these the Ge siblings? You’ve made us search hard,” the one-eyed man laughed, eyeing them.
“You?” Ge Feng’s face darkened. He hadn’t expected them to find them so quickly.
“That’s right, haha, it’s us,” the one-eyed man cackled, his gaze shifting from the siblings to Li Feng. “You escaped so fast last time because you went to find help? What can a wet-behind-the-ears kid do?”
“Do you have to wipe us out?” Ge Feng said coldly, staring at the one-eyed man.
“Wipe you out? Haha, exactly. We’re here to finish you off,” the one-eyed man said, his eyes glinting with cold killing intent. “Who told you Ge siblings to know something you shouldn’t? Blame yourselves.”
“Aren’t you afraid of our Ge family’s revenge?” Ge Ying snapped.
“Ge family? Hahaha, what’s that? Never heard of it,” the one-eyed man sneered at Ge Feng and Ge Ying. “Besides, this is the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Die here, and your family will never know it was me.”
“You…” Ge Ying glared at him, fuming.
Seeing her, the one-eyed man suddenly grinned. “Didn’t expect Miss Ge to be such a rare beauty. Don’t worry, before I kill you, I’ll make sure you have some fun.”
“You…” Ge Ying’s face flushed with anger.
The one-eyed man’s gaze turned icy. “Go, kill the two men. As for Miss Ge, keep her for the boys to enjoy.”
Li Feng’s expression darkened, a glint of killing intent flashing in his eyes.
“Kid, Grandpa’s sending you to your grave today,” a burly man stepped out from behind the one-eyed man, glaring at Li Feng.
“Want me dead? Be ready to die yourself,” Li Feng sneered, a cold light flashing in his eyes. A sword appeared in his hand, and without warning, he thrust it at the man.
The man, full of arrogance, didn’t expect Li Feng to strike so suddenly. By the time he reacted, the sword was already at his face, its icy killing intent imminent.
“Bold!” another man behind the one-eyed man roared, slashing his blade to save his comrade, but it was too late. Li Feng’s strike was all-out.
Clang!
Li Feng’s sword flashed like lightning, a silver arc slicing through the air. The next moment, it struck.
Pfft!
A spray of blood bloomed at the man’s throat. He stared at Li Feng in disbelief, unable to fathom dying by his sword.
Li Feng swiftly retracted his sword, meeting the incoming blade with a swing.
Clang! The sound of clashing metal rang out as Li Feng parried the blade, coldly eyeing the man with a grim face.
“You killed him?” the one-eyed man gaped at Li Feng in disbelief. To him, Li Feng, similar in age to the Ge siblings, couldn’t be much stronger. His man should’ve at least held him off. He never expected Li Feng to kill him in one move.
“Try to kill me, and be ready to die,” Li Feng said coldly.
“You’re courting death,” the one-eyed man glared, his eyes radiating icy killing intent.
“Li Feng, be careful. They’re that group,” Ge Feng warned from the side.
That group?!
Li Feng realized why they were here—to silence the Ge siblings and monopolize the Earth Martial Realm ruins.
Heh!
Li Feng sneered at the one-eyed man. “Many have wanted me dead, but they’re the ones who end up dead. You’re no different. Try to kill me today, and don’t expect to leave.”
“Kill him!” the one-eyed man roared, furious. His target was the Ge siblings, but now one of his men was killed by this nobody—an unforgivable offense.
“Yes!” The three remaining men grinned savagely and charged at Li Feng.
Ge Feng, enraged, moved to act, but the one-eyed man flashed forward, blocking him. “Kid, your opponent is me. None of you three are leaving today.”
“Ge Feng, leave those three nobodies to me. You and your sister take down this one-eyed guy. Let’s see who kills faster,” Li Feng’s voice rang out.
Ge Feng opened his mouth to speak but, recalling Li Feng’s one-move kill and his confident tone, smiled. “Alright, let’s see who’s faster.”
Ge Feng wasn’t one to hesitate. He drew his longsword and attacked the one-eyed man, calling to Ge Ying, “Sister, let’s do this together.”
“Okay,” Ge Ying responded without hesitation, drawing her weapon.
“Courting death,” the one-eyed man snorted, slashing his blade.
Ge Feng sneered back, meeting the attack.
On the other side, Li Feng clashed with the one-eyed man’s men. Their combat strength was impressive, but Li Feng was stronger, capable of sweeping them.
With a flick of his foot, Li Feng picked up a fallen blade. Facing the charging men, he swung it through the air, a blade aura slicing toward the leader.
Clang! The aura shattered the man’s blade into fragments.
“Not good,” the man who’d clashed with Li Feng earlier growled. “Be careful!”
“Too late,” Li Feng sneered. “Die!”
Swift!
Li Feng’s blade unleashed another aura, flashing like lightning. Blade techniques were his forte, and with a blade in hand, he was in his element, his combat power peaking.
His speed was exceptional, even without using Phantom Ninefold. Far faster than martial artists of the same realm, his movements were like lightning. The man had no time to react.
Pfft!
The blade aura sliced through, and the man collapsed.
Without pause, Li Feng charged at the next.
“Bold!” another man roared, slashing at Li Feng. “I’ll kill you!”
“You?” Li Feng sneered, stomping the ground, leaving a deep footprint. His body halted, and he swung his blade, unleashing a one-meter-long aura at the man.
Caught off guard by Li Feng’s speed, the man’s blade was shattered, and a silver flash sliced his throat, blood spurting.
Another down!
“How is this possible?” The last man stared in disbelief. From the first kill to now, so little time had passed. Though second only to the one-eyed man in strength, he feared he couldn’t withstand Li Feng.
“Nothing’s impossible. You’re next,” Li Feng said coldly, gripping his blade.
Li Feng didn’t pause. His past life had honed his resolve; he showed no mercy to enemies.
Blade light gleamed, auras surged!
The shockwaves of their fight left surrounding vegetation sliced to pieces.
Ge Feng and the one-eyed man were shocked by Li Feng’s ruthless efficiency. The one-eyed man had thought Li Feng an easy target, but he was a ferocious wolf. Without hesitation, he intensified his attacks on Ge Feng, knowing only by defeating him could he survive. Against Li Feng, he knew he stood no chance.
The Ge siblings were equally stunned. They hadn’t expected Li Feng to be so formidable.
Merciless and decisive, his skill and resolve were rare even in the Ge family.
But they were more excited than shocked. Hunted by the one-eyed man’s group for days, they’d been exhausted, only able to flee. With Li Feng, they might turn the tables.
Seeing the one-eyed man’s intensified attacks, the Ge siblings exchanged a glance and met him head-on.
“Die!” Li Feng roared, his blade sweeping in a Thousand Army Slash, unleashing a surging aura. With a step, he shot forward, charging the last man.
“Blade Cuts the Universe!”
His blade auras sealed all escape routes.
Pfft!
Li Feng’s blade felled the man, then he turned to Ge Feng and Ge Ying, fighting the one-eyed man. “Ge Feng, Ge Ying, I’ve finished these nobodies. When are you taking him down?”
