Chapter 1487 - 1485: How Could This Happen
"This kid is pretty clever to actually guess our plan. With just your little strength, you can’t escape at all, so you should stop struggling. That way, you can suffer less. How about it, surrender now," Zheng Feng said arrogantly, smiling even more brightly after hearing Lin Feng speak. These guys’ strength was not worth mentioning, without any hint of blood on their bodies. How many Demon Beasts could they have killed to acquire Beast Souls? Dealing with such rookies was extremely easy, and killing them was a piece of cake.
"Young Master Feng said you’re welcome to commit suicide."
"Why are you hesitating? Do you want us to make a move?"
...
The people around Zheng Feng also spoke arrogantly at this moment. They believed these people were inevitably doomed. When it came to strength and combat experience, these rookies couldn’t be their opponents. Killing them was extremely easy; they just killed a batch yesterday. These rookies had no chance of escape.
Hearing these people’s words, Lin Feng’s brow furrowed. He was displeased looking at these insufferably arrogant guys in front of him, casually saying, "You think we’re definitely no good?"
"Do we need to waste words? Seeing your clothes so clean, you must have just come in. Do you know how many days we’ve been here? And you still want to fight us? If you don’t surrender and kill yourself, don’t blame us for making a move. When we act, it won’t be just simply killing you."
Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, Zheng Feng responded unpleasantly, thinking this kid in front of him really didn’t know better. Without a trace of blood on his body or even signs of grass, such a rookie was actually still trying to challenge them — truly ignorant!
"Young Master Feng, why waste words with them? Just kill them."
"Exactly, they don’t know what’s good for them, insisting on asking for punishment."
...
The people beside Zheng Feng chimed in at this moment. They felt Lin Feng and the others were being ungrateful. They had suggested these people kill themselves, yet they were resisting. What were they thinking? If they didn’t commit suicide soon, they’d have to act personally.
"We didn’t initially want to kill you, but we’ve changed our minds. Dakun, kill these people." Watching Zheng Feng and the others’ overconfident, arrogant demeanor, Lin Feng shook his head and spoke calmly. These people’s strength was indeed decent, but very superficial. With such strength, Xue Dakun might struggle a bit, but should manage. Lin Feng himself never intended to act, as he felt killing these people would tarnish his hands.
"Cripple us? Brothers, charge!"
"Too arrogant, cripple them!"
"Go, let’s attack together!"
...
Xue Dakun and the others, hearing Lin Feng talk like that, immediately roared in anger and charged towards Zheng Feng and his men. These men had entered the forest slightly earlier, but Xue Dakun and his group did not believe they could really kill them. Although they had been battling all afternoon and night, feeling a bit fatigued, their strength had grown rapidly. They were confident Zheng Feng and his gang couldn’t be their opponents because they had Lin Feng, whose strength was unparalleled.
After an afternoon and night of continuous hunting Demon Beasts, their true strength had surged. To the people in front, they felt no fear — instead, excitement appeared in their eyes. Killing them was impossible; if these people wanted to attack, how could they not fight back?
Seeing Xue Dakun and others attack proactively, Zheng Feng’s subordinates didn’t hold back anymore and charged at Xue Dakun and his group, planning to kill these rebellious folks and obtain Beast Souls from them!
In a flash, the two sides collided, and a fierce battle began.
"Boom!"
"Clang!"
"Bang!"
...
A continuous string of battle sounds echoed, deafening! Lightning bolts, fireballs, and such flew everywhere. Some people were inexplicably running around, all types of chaos unfolded, making the scene extremely chaotic.
At the onset of battle, Zheng Feng’s eyebrow twitched. He hadn’t expected these rookies to be so strong, far stronger than the previous batch. His subordinates typically had no advantage, surprising him greatly. Thinking briefly, he prepared for action to prevent any surprises, but as soon as he moved, Lin Feng appeared before him, blocking his path.
"Your opponent is me," Lin Feng said calmly, looking at Zheng Feng.
"Get out of the way, you fool," Zheng Feng thoughtlessly responded, swinging a punch. Suddenly, a gust formed, followed closely by a white wind column aiming at Lin Feng.
Yes, Zheng Feng’s ability was controlling wind, allowing him to generate different wind shapes and condense them into wind columns, forming wind cannons, easily destroying boulders. He didn’t believe Lin Feng could survive this attack.
But the unexpected occurred: the wind column hadn’t hit Lin Feng, as Lin Feng vanished instantly, reappearing in front of Zheng Feng. Without hesitation, he slapped Zheng Feng.
"What, how’s this possible!"
Zheng Feng, witnessing this, was alarmed. He hadn’t expected Lin Feng to dodge his wind column, thinking it was impossible. He wondered if Lin Feng’s special ability was speed? This had to be it; otherwise, Lin Feng couldn’t have dodged his wind column!
Considering this, Zheng Feng immediately altered his attack strategy, rapidly creating a tornado around him, shielding himself in its center. As Lin Feng’s slap came through, he swiftly directed the tornado away, aiming it at Lin Feng. But unexpectedly, he missed again, just as before, with the tornado barely missing Lin Feng, who vanished once more.
"How can this be!"
This time, Zheng Feng focused intently on Lin Feng, yet couldn’t discern how Lin Feng disappeared. For a moment, he was dumbfounded, unable to comprehend Lin Feng’s incredible speed. He knew some people’s special abilities related to speed and had witnessed unparalleled speeds before, but never as swift as Lin Feng’s — vanishing without a trace. Now, what should he do!
At this moment, Zheng Feng felt regret. Had he known these rookies included someone as abnormal as Lin Feng, he would never have decided to kill here. But now it’s too late; Lin Feng disappeared just before him, and he couldn’t locate Lin Feng at all.
As Zheng Feng sought out Lin Feng, Lin Feng suddenly appeared again, delivering a slap!
"Smack!"
The sound was crisp, as Lin Feng slapped Zheng Feng, sending him flying dozens of meters away, leaving a trail of blood mist in the air, showcasing how powerful the slap was. Zheng Feng couldn’t have known Lin Feng never intended to kill him; otherwise, no number of lives could withstand Lin Feng’s strike.
"Young Master Feng!"
"Young Master Feng!"
...
Seeing Zheng Feng in trouble, his subordinates exclaimed in shock and quickly disengaged from their battle with Xue Dakun and others, rushing to Zheng Feng’s side. Upon seeing Zheng Feng’s condition, they gasped; Zheng Feng’s face was swollen like a pig’s head, including muscle tension leaving one eye unable to open and blood continuously dripping from his mouth. Half of his teeth were likely gone.
This guy is incredibly strong!
Oh no, we’re in trouble!
...
Witnessing this, Zheng Feng’s subordinates panicked. Even a fool could see Lin Feng was beyond their capabilities. If a slap could turn Zheng Feng into this state, hitting them would surely kill them! With this realization, they escaped frantically with Zheng Feng, fearing for their lives...
As Xue Dakun and others saw the opposing team fleeing, they tried chasing for more cleanup, but Lin Feng stopped them just before they charged.
"Let them escape; there’s no need to pursue. They won’t bother us again," Lin Feng said calmly, unwilling to allow Xue Dakun and others to truly kill, avoiding the notion of upping strength through killing as if addicted. Lin Feng didn’t want Xue Dakun and the others to form such habits.
"Alright, Boss, we listen to you," Xue Dakun replied, stopping his advance after hearing Lin Feng speak. He found Lin Feng’s point reasonable, knowing Lin Feng’s presence deterred further attacks from them. Reluctant to kill them seemed unnecessary.
Similarly, others nodded, agreeing that while the opposing actions were excessive, they’d been frightened away by Lin Feng, and there was indeed no need to pursue killing them; letting them flee was acceptable.
Seeing no objections from anyone, Lin Feng led them to continue forest hunting of Demon Beasts. Most times, Lin Feng refrained from acting, training these people’s combat abilities like the youth from the Hidden World. Only through trial by fire could these people rapidly develop.
Time flew by, and before long, several days had passed, during which they slew countless Demon Beasts. Xue Dakun and others underwent a complete transformation, their strength vastly increased from acquired Beast Souls. Under Lin Feng’s guidance, their combat abilities sharply improved, fighting capabilities rapidly rising — initially taking several people to battle one junior-level Demon Beast, evolving to a single person handling a Transcendent Realm Demon Beast, highlighting the massive change in just a few days.
