Chapter 7

{Sorry, I came back late. The second update will be released early. I have some things to do tonight. Finally, please add to your favorites.}

"Go, go, go, go!" At this moment, Cao Ning led four warriors to the door, his eyes fixed on Ling Feng. "I didn't expect you to actually stick around. That's surprising, but it's better this way; I don't have to search for you everywhere."

"What, do you feel like kneeling again because you didn't kneel enough yesterday?" Ling Feng scanned the group and noticed that the four people following Cao Ning were all at the Eighth Level of Martial Arts, just one level below him.

Moreover, these people had sharp gazes and a faint aura of killing intent, clearly not the type who had advanced through the use of drugs, but rather through hard-fought battles. Such people often had strong fighting will and combat power far exceeding their peers.

However, although these people were strong, they posed no threat to Ling Feng. After all, while Ling Feng's cultivation was only one level higher than theirs, his foundation was far more solid.

Furthermore, with his advanced divine soul and a fully developed movement technique, Ling Feng was confident he could take on even experts at the Earth Martial level.

"You..." Cao Ning recalled the humiliation he suffered yesterday and felt a sharp pain in his right hand and knees. His killing intent surged, "I originally wanted to make your death quick, but now I've changed my mind. I want you to suffer a living hell."

As he spoke, he turned to the four people behind him, "You guys, be careful when you attack. Don't kill him. I want to personally sever his tendons and throw him outside the city to be eaten by beasts."

"Yes, Young Master." The four people moved like arrows released from a bow, surrounding Ling Feng in an instant.

"I'll see how you can escape from my hands today." Cao Ning's face was cold, his eyes filled with killing intent.

"This is over." The old village chief saw this and felt a bit regretful. He naturally didn't believe Ling Feng could stand against so many people.

Moreover, with Cao Ning's character, if Ling Feng were to lose, his fate would be extremely dire.

"Brother, you should run, don't worry about me." Xiao Ying, though she didn't recognize these four people, felt a chill from the aura they emitted.

Moreover, seeing them gang up on Ling Feng, she instinctively felt he was no match for them.

"Don't worry, they can't hurt me." Ling Feng was very confident, but his words sounded particularly grating to Cao Ning, who immediately shouted, "What are you guys waiting for? Grab him quickly!"

"Yes!" With the order, the four people advanced, trying to confine Ling Feng within a limited area and then take him down.

However, Ling Feng wouldn't let them succeed, as his greatest advantage was his movement technique.

If he were trapped, he wouldn't be able to fully utilize his movements, and even with his Ninth Level of Martial Arts cultivation, he would struggle against their combined attacks.

So, the moment they moved, he quickly darted out of their encirclement.

At this moment, a cold light flashed in his right hand, and the short knife he used to cut meat last night appeared. He took a step forward, directly behind one of them, and stabbed at the person's back without any hesitation.

Cao Ning couldn't be killed now, but he had no qualms about dealing with these henchmen.

Moreover, to deal with someone like Cao Ning, if he couldn't kill him temporarily, he had to make him feel pain and fear, so that just thinking about him would give him nightmares.

Only then would he have a few days of peace.

However, these people's combat experience was much better than Ling Feng expected. Sensing Ling Feng's intent, one of them suddenly lunged forward, dodging Ling Feng's attack.

Then, the four people once again surrounded Ling Feng.

"His movement technique is fast; try to limit his movement range as much as possible." One of the four analyzed Ling Feng's advantage and immediately warned the others.

Almost instantly, they adjusted their strategy, beginning to limit Ling Feng's movement range.

"Oh?" A hint of surprise flashed in Ling Feng's eyes.

From the start of the confrontation to now, it had only been a few breaths, yet they had quickly identified his advantage and responded accordingly, which was somewhat unexpected.

Ling Feng didn't know that in this era, beasts roamed freely. Even with powerful formations and restrictions protecting the city, they couldn't stop the beasts' attacks.

Every year, many humans died at the hands of beasts, and crops were trampled. Food was still a major issue during this period.

Moreover, martial artists had a huge appetite, and ordinary food was insufficient to sustain their daily needs.

Therefore, each major family would form some family mercenaries to leave the city and hunt beasts, providing enough food for the family.

These four people were part of a relatively elite team among the many mercenary groups of the Cao family. They often left the city's protection to battle beasts, facing life and death, and their cooperation was very默契 (close).

Unfortunately for them, they encountered Ling Feng. If it were any other Ninth Level of Martial Arts practitioner, they would have been defeated today.

"My movement technique isn't just fast!" Ling Feng quickly adjusted, and with a step, he disappeared from their encirclement.

"Where did he go?" This situation startled the four people, as Ling Feng seemed to vanish without a trace.

The next moment, a killing intent enveloped one of them.

Before this person could react, he felt a pain in his back, followed by a sudden loss of strength, and the world around him grew dark until it disappeared.

"You killed my brother!" The remaining three, seeing Ling Feng with the dagger and their fallen "brother," their eyes filled with blood.

These four had been together since they entered the Cao family, experiencing countless battles, and their bond was stronger than that of blood brothers.

Now, seeing their brother die before their eyes, they could no longer control themselves.

"Kill!" The three shouted, their figures charging at Ling Feng like three fierce tigers.

"Come on." Ling Feng also shouted, feeling no remorse for killing this person, as the other side had intended to kill him.

In Ling Feng's eyes, anyone who wanted to kill him should be prepared to be killed.

This time, he decided not to hold back, aiming to eliminate these three and give Cao Ning the greatest shock.

With a step, he transformed into a black line, connecting the three people, and their movements froze in place.

After a moment, the three reacted, falling to the ground, their blood staining the earth red.

"This, this..." Cao Ning's eyes widened in disbelief, staring at the four bodies lying on the ground. He couldn't believe that they had been killed by Ling Feng.

After all, these four were the Cao family's top hunters and had trained in cooperative techniques. Even against powerful Second Rank beasts, they could hold their own.

But now, they had been killed by a single person, and in just one encounter.

Before he could react, he felt a breeze on his back, and then he saw a bloodied dagger extending from his right side, gently pressing against his throat.

The cold dagger brought an endless chill, and a shadow of death loomed over his heart.
