Chapter 8

Wang Family's young master had never expected that Ye Feng would injure him with a single punch, leaving his internal organs in ruins, with blood and organs spurting out.

Ye Feng slowly approached, and the young man in white, his eyes filled with fear, realized it was too late to beg for mercy. Ye Feng plunged his hands into the young man’s body, draining all his vital energy.

"Whoosh!"

After absorbing the vital energy, Ye Feng felt it was even easier to break through to the sixth level of the Afterbirth stage. He quickly searched the three bodies, finding several secret manuals, some spirit stones, and medicinal pills.

The two young men in green had very little on them, only about a hundred spirit stones and a martial technique of not very high rank.

"What is this?"

After searching the young man in white for a long time and finding nothing, Ye Feng was very puzzled. He noticed an ancient ring on the young man’s ring finger, which caught his attention. The small axe that suddenly appeared earlier had made Ye Feng very curious, leading him to believe that the young man in white must have been hiding some kind of storage item. After searching for a long time and finding nothing, he noticed the ring.

Taking off the ring, he felt a faint aura of spirituality emanating from it, and even a trace of magical script flowing on it.

"Could this be a storage ring?"

Ye Feng found it hard to believe. A storage ring was invaluable, worth at least ten thousand spirit stones. Even elite disciples didn’t all have storage rings, as they were too expensive.

Activating his divine sense, Ye Feng probed the magical script. His divine sense passed through an invisible wave and entered a spacious area, about ten square meters in size. Inside were many demon beast cores, a large number of spirit stones, and several martial technique manuals on a table.

"Jackpot, it’s indeed a storage ring!"

Ye Feng was overjoyed. He put the ring on his finger and practiced using it a few times until he could use it freely. He then stored the over a hundred spirit stones he had just obtained inside.

After tidying everything up, Ye Feng heard a rustling sound nearby, as if someone was approaching.

"Bad, it seems the Wang Family has already arrived."

Ye Feng’s body quickly disappeared from the spot, heading deeper into the Transverse Mountain Range, the only direction where no one was approaching.

Not long after Ye Feng left, five young men appeared at the scene of the battle. They saw two bodies that were barely recognizable as human, and another that was already reduced to minced meat.

"Eldest Young Master, do you see who could have done this?"

A man dressed as a guard asked the eldest young master of the Wang Family, who had a grim expression. This was the brother of the young man in white whom Ye Feng had killed. He was also in the Transverse Mountain Range and had rushed here as soon as he received the signal, but it was too late.

"Mobilize all our forces and hunt them down with full force. The murderer hasn’t gone far and is still nearby."

The eldest young master of the Wang Family said coldly, his voice filled with naked killing intent. His younger brother had been killed in the Transverse Mountain Range, and he was furious, though his eyes betrayed a sense of satisfaction.

The guards behind him released various signals, and soon, the same signals echoed from all around, forming a包围圈 that surrounded Ye Feng.

Three days had passed since he killed the Wang Family’s young master. Ye Feng had been fleeing in the Transverse Mountain Range for three days. Not long after he left, he was caught in a hunt.

Ye Feng thought to himself that this time, killing the Wang Family’s young master had clearly enraged the Wang Family. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been hunting him for three days and nights, and more and more people from the Wang Family were entering the Transverse Mountain Range.

However, Ye Feng had no regrets about his actions. A man should be brave and take responsibility for his actions. Since he had killed, he had to bear the wrath of the Wang Family, especially since they had been the ones to kill and plunder first.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded from behind. Ye Feng leaped up and hid in the dense branches of a large tree, concealing his presence.

Soon, three martial artists appeared, all wearing the Wang Family’s attire, at the spot where Ye Feng had been.

"Why did the footprints disappear here? We’ve been chasing for an hour, and he was just ahead a short while ago."

The tall martial artist looked at the vanished footprints, his voice filled with confusion.

"Regardless, we must find the murderer who killed the young master. Otherwise, we won’t have an easy time when we return. If we catch the murderer, we will rise to prominence in the Wang Family," the shortest martial artist said.

"Die!"

The tall martial artist suddenly shot up, striking a palm toward the sky, directly at the spot where Ye Feng was hiding. His body moved like an arrow, reaching Ye Feng in an instant.

Ye Feng was shocked. It seemed his experience was still lacking. The footprints disappeared here, and this was the only tree, so the only possibility was that he was hiding in the tree. The tall martial artist had acted instantly. The conversation earlier was just to麻痹 him, making him think they hadn’t discovered him, to set up this sudden attack. If Ye Feng hadn’t been on high alert, this ambush might have seriously injured him, as all three were at the peak of the sixth level of the Afterbirth stage.

Ye Feng extended his arm, and his body emitted a crackling sound. He used the first move of the Bone-Shattering Fist, "Four Parts, Five Directions."

"Crack!"

The tall martial artist’s palm was immediately repelled by Ye Feng, his bones making a cracking sound as his arm was shattered. The sixth level of the Afterbirth stage was no match for Ye Feng.

Ye Feng attacked with full force, not daring to be careless. He struck a horizontal palm, and the other’s bones shattered instantly. How could he resist Ye Feng, who now possessed thirty kilograms of strength, especially after the Zhu Yan fruit had enhanced his physique, greatly increasing his strength.

The tall martial artist let out a惨叫 and fell to the ground. Ye Feng knew he couldn’t hide anymore. His body moved like an arrow, charging at the other two, swift as a rabbit.

"Bang!"

The short martial artist hadn’t even reacted when he was struck and thrown away, killed in one move.

The last remaining martial artist let out a roar and charged at Ye Feng, not expecting that in one round, Ye Feng had killed two of them. He unleashed a punch, the air pressure like an arrow, shooting toward Ye Feng.

Ye Feng moved like lightning, dodging to the side, and struck the last martial artist’s shoulder with a punch.

"Puff!"

The last martial artist spat out a mouthful of blood, even mixed with internal organs, all shattered by Ye Feng’s attack.

"Boom!"

The last martial artist wanted to say something but, unfortunately, his body swayed and he fell down, unwillingly.

Ye Feng let out a sigh of relief. It seemed the Wang Family was getting closer, and it was very difficult to escape. Now, the Wang Family was everywhere, except for the deeper parts of the Transverse Mountain Range, where Ye Feng didn’t dare to go further, as he might encounter an eighth-level Afterbirth stage demon beast.

"Boy, how dare you kill our Wang Family’s people!"

Just after Ye Feng killed the three, more people quickly approached, witnessing the scene. However, they only saw his back, not his face.

"Trouble, they’ve discovered me!"
