Chapter 27

Thanks to all the brothers for your support, recommendations, clicks, and favorites, I’ll cook a pot of meat to thank you all!!!

"Sir, let's talk this out. Today, it was our fault. I’m willing to offer all my possessions, just please let me off, Sir!"

Looking at Ye Feng in front of him, the scam merchant was truly shocked. This person was only fifteen or sixteen years old! Could he be a third-rank warrior? How could this be? Could this young man be on the Qing Shuang Qian Long List?

"Killing you, your possessions will still be mine!" Ye Feng was unmoved, his eyes flashing with a cold light as he said.

"Sir, Sir, not only do I have these possessions on me, but I also know a secret!"

Hearing this, the scam merchant’s face turned pale, and he hurriedly waved his hands at Ye Feng.

"What secret?"

"Sir, you have to promise not to kill me, otherwise, I won’t say it even if I die!"

"If this secret is truly valuable, I might consider sparing your life!"

"That’s what you said. Two hundred miles to the northeast, there’s a Fire Dragon Valley. Inside the Fire Dragon Valley...”

The scam merchant stopped speaking halfway through, looking at Ye Feng. When he saw Ye Feng listening intently, he suddenly shouted, "Triple Wave, Second Wave!" and struck a palm towards Ye Feng’s chest.

Seeing this palm, the corners of Ye Feng’s mouth curled up in a mocking smile.

He had already been on guard when this person threw his companion out of the grass.

Seeing the palm coming with a gust of wind, Ye Feng also raised his palm to meet it.

"Bang!"

The two palms met, instantly producing a thunderous sound. "Crack! Crack!" The massive rock beneath their feet instantly began to crack from where they stood, spreading across the entire rock. The surrounding air was filled with a powerful force, making their clothes flutter. The surrounding grass and trees were swept into the air by the force of their clash, taking a long time to slowly fall back down.

Though it seemed like a long time, the collision of the two palms was just an instant.

"Thud, thud, thud..." After the palms met, Ye Feng’s figure remained still, while the scam merchant retreated five or six steps.

"Triple Wave, Second Wave!"

As soon as the scam merchant stopped retreating, he shouted again and struck another palm.

"Bang!"

The two palms met again, and Ye Feng immediately felt a powerful force, making his figure unstable, and he was forced to retreat five or six steps, while the scam merchant didn’t retreat at all.

Feeling this force, a look of surprise appeared on Ye Feng’s face, and he was secretly startled, "This is martial technique?" This time, the scam merchant’s strength was about half greater than the first time, and when the two palms met, Ye Feng felt a soft and resilient force from the other’s palm, gradually neutralizing his strength.

"Triple Wave, Third Wave!"

Seeing Ye Feng retreat, the scam merchant didn’t hesitate and shouted again, rushing forward and striking a palm.

Without hesitation, Ye Feng also raised his palm. "Bang!" A powerful force came from the other’s palm, sending him flying over two zhang.

Even a trace of blood slowly trickled from the corner of Ye Feng’s mouth. He wiped the blood from his mouth, feeling secretly startled.

If his body strengthening hadn’t reached an unknown realm, he would have lost his fighting ability with this one palm. This palm was at least twice as powerful as the first one.

At this moment, Ye Feng had a new understanding of martial techniques. No wonder everyone said that body strengthening was inferior to martial cultivation. In terms of pure strength, Ye Feng had a significant advantage, but when the other party used martial techniques, this advantage was instantly leveled, and he was even surpassed.

However, after feeling his body, apart from a slight turmoil in his blood and qi, there were no major issues. He secretly felt relieved. If it weren’t for body strengthening, which had enhanced his skin, bones, and muscles by countless times, this blow would have definitely made him lose his ability to fight.

"Kill!"

Ye Feng shouted and attacked with a punch.

"Bang!"

"Bang..."

"Bang... Bang... Ah..."

A series of collision sounds echoed as the two instantly exchanged dozens of punches and palms, instantly filling the area with a powerful force and a fierce aura.

At first, Ye Feng would be sent flying by the scam merchant’s palm force, but after being sent flying, he would immediately attack again.

After ten or so exchanges, a look of horror appeared on the scam merchant’s face, and his palm force became increasingly weak. Finally, he let out a惨叫 and was sent flying by Ye Feng, lying on the ground, spitting out blood, and losing his ability to fight.

Seeing the scam merchant’s state, Ye Feng let out a long breath.

Martial cultivators can instantly burst with super strength, like this scam merchant, who, using martial techniques, instantly doubled his strength, but it couldn’t last. Once his spiritual energy was exhausted, he could only be at the mercy of others. As a body cultivator, as long as his physical strength wasn’t exhausted, he could continue fighting.

This was also because Ye Feng’s body strengthening had reached a realm he had never heard of. Otherwise, even with the ninth level of the Iron Body Technique, he couldn’t have withstood the scam merchant’s doubled strength.

"Don’t... don’t kill me... I’m willing to reveal the secret, and I have a secret base where I’ve hidden the wealth I’ve accumulated over the years!"

Seeing Ye Feng approaching step by step, a look of fear appeared on the scam merchant’s face.

"Ha ha, no need!" Hearing his words, a cold look appeared on Ye Feng’s face as he said. After speaking, he lunged forward and struck a punch at the scam merchant’s chest.

"Boy, I’ll tell you, I’m from Wohu Mountain. If you kill me, you won’t live either..."

"Hmph, no one can save you today!"

"Bang!" A dull sound accompanied by splattering blood. The scam merchant’s words were cut off, and he died.

Seeing that the man was no longer breathing, Ye Feng let out a long breath and sat down cross-legged.

Although he wasn’t seriously injured, he was shaken, and his internal organs were slightly displaced. Even his meridians had some hidden injuries from his full burst of power, and the spiritual energy in his dantian was completely depleted.

When Ye Feng sat down cross-legged and his breathing stabilized, the Vitality Qi instantly surged from his mind, gradually repairing the injuries in his body’s meridians.

After his body was repaired, Ye Feng didn’t hesitate and immediately began to practice the basic breathing technique. Immediately, a dense spiritual energy gathered towards him, crazily converging into his dantian, circulating along his meridians. At the same time, the spiritual energy was also absorbed by his muscles and bones. As time passed, the gathering spiritual energy formed a transparent spiritual energy vortex outside his body, and the spiritual energy within a radius of several dozen meters was all channeled into his body.

This was something Ye Feng had recently experienced. Whenever his Vitality Qi was completely depleted, his body became like a black hole, absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy, and the speed of absorption increased tenfold.

After a while, Ye Feng felt that the spiritual energy in his body had reached saturation again, and he slowly stood up.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

Standing up straight, Ye Feng stretched, and a series of popping sounds echoed.

Feeling his body, a look of joy appeared on Ye Feng’s face. The surging spiritual energy instantly filled his body, bringing him to the brink of a first-rank warrior. With a catalyst, he could break through to a second-rank warrior. His muscles had also reached a new level, and his bones emitted a faint white light.

Actually, if he continued to practice now, he might break through to a second-rank warrior. However, this place was not suitable. In the outer region of the Tianlang Mountains, if he didn’t find a safe place, he wouldn’t dare to practice recklessly. Otherwise, the surging spiritual energy might attract a few-stage fierce beasts.

Or even martial cultivators might think that some spiritual herbs had appeared here...

Ye Feng came to the scam merchant’s corpse, picked up his backpack, and searched his body. Seeing that nothing was left behind, he turned and left.

Similarly, he didn’t let the other dead people go. The attack was definitely not their first, and Ye Feng had no qualms about it.

As for the five corpses, Ye Feng didn’t even look at them. In the outer region of the Tianlang Mountains, a few martial cultivator corpses wouldn’t cause much of a stir. It wouldn’t be long before fierce beasts or wild animals helped him dispose of the bodies.

Eating the flesh and blood of fierce beasts could increase physical strength and cultivation. Similarly, the bodies of dead martial cultivators were the favorite of fierce beasts and wild animals, especially wild animals, who needed spiritual energy to evolve into fierce beasts.

Before leaving, Ye Feng thought of the scam merchant’s last words.

"Wohu Mountain?"

Wohu Mountain was actually a bandit organization hidden in the outer mountains of the Tianlang Mountains. This bandit organization was very powerful. Their chief was said to be a seventh-rank warrior, and their deputy chief was a sixth-rank warrior. They also had a few third and fourth-rank warriors. In this area, they were like kings, and even some families in Qing Shuang City didn’t dare to offend Wohu Mountain.
