Ye Feng followed closely behind Fan Chen, strolling leisurely without a hint of anxiety. Fan Chen led the way, weaving through alleys and streets, his dark thoughts becoming increasingly difficult to suppress as his pace quickened.
Finally, they reached the end of a narrow alley where a towering wall loomed ahead, its height reaching several dozen meters. On the other side of the wall, faint sounds of martial artists practicing could be heard.
"Beyond this wall is our Dragon Gang. The Dragon Gang ranks among the top three in Linyuan City, and our leader, Long Xinghai, has reached the initial stage of the Gangwu Realm. He is quite a prominent figure in Linyuan City," Fan Chen suddenly stopped, his tone growing increasingly cold.
"It seems your Dragon Gang is not bad at all," Ye Feng said casually, crossing his arms. "You even have a martial artist at the Gangwu Realm. However, what use is this information to me? If you intend to sell the Cloud Chaser Leopard, this clearly isn't a good place for a transaction."
Ye Feng surveyed his surroundings with an indifferent expression, appearing completely unafraid.
"The power of a Gangwu Realm martial artist is beyond your imagination. Kid, you'd better be sensible and hand over your Cloud Entry Token and storage bag," Fan Chen's expression darkened. Ye Feng's calm demeanor stirred a hint of unease within him.
"I was initially looking to do business with you. Why such hostility? Are you planning to rob me?" Ye Feng looked seriously at Fan Chen.
"Enough nonsense!" Fan Chen snapped. Just then, chaotic footsteps echoed around the alley as figures dressed in black suddenly appeared atop the surrounding walls.
The appearance of the black-clad individuals bolstered Fan Chen's confidence significantly; any fear he had when facing Ye Feng dissipated instantly. He was well aware that Lu Zishi had sent people to lay in wait here. Fan Chen had engaged in similar schemes numerous times over the past few years.
Most of the black-clad individuals sent by Lu Zishi possessed strength around the mid-stage of the Origin Martial Realm. Typically, as soon as they appeared, the big fish lured in by Fan Chen would immediately bow down and beg for mercy, unhesitatingly handing over all their valuables. Occasionally encountering some tough opponents would lead to a bit of punishment, but they would still obediently surrender their possessions after experiencing some hardship.
He had never encountered anyone who valued money over their life.
The Ye Feng before him was clearly one of those tougher individuals. He didn't mind letting his brothers teach this kid a lesson first before forcing him to hand over his Cloud Entry Token and storage bag.
"The Cloud Entry Token is not something I will give you. However, I am quite curious—does your Dragon Gang really have a Cloud Chaser Leopard?" Ye Feng's expression gradually turned cold; although he still wore a slight smile, there was an undeniable air of intimidation in his gaze directed at Fan Chen.
Almost instinctively, Fan Chen nodded and said, "Of course we have the Cloud Chaser Leopard in the Dragon Gang, and the Cloud Chaser Leopard is the mount of our leader, Long Xinghai!"
"Fan Chen, what nonsense are you talking about!" Lu Zishi on the wall frowned. At this moment, there was no need to beat around the bush with this kid. Unexpectedly, Fan Chen directly answered Ye Feng.
Fan Chen's body trembled, revealing a look of panic and confusion. Just as Lu Zishi had expected, he really didn't need to answer Ye Feng. However, that fleeting glance from Ye Feng compelled him to reveal the truth. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation, and he felt both shocked and angry.
"Having a Cloud Chaser Leopard is good; I thought I would make a trip for nothing," Ye Feng's expression relaxed again.
"Brat, what are you saying? Do you think you can snatch the Cloud Chaser Leopard from our leader?" Fan Chen shouted angrily, while the black-clad men on the wall exchanged glances.
"This kid is too arrogant. Is he from some big family? Hmph, no matter who you are, once you fall into our Dragon Gang's hands, you won't be able to leave unscathed. If you really are from a big family, making you disappear would be the best choice!" Lu Zishi snorted coldly. The various forces that had died at their hands were not few.
"Brothers, get ready! Teach him a lesson and force out his background. If he's from a small family, it doesn't matter; if he's from a big family, just kill him to avoid unnecessary trouble!"
With a command given, a clanging sound echoed from the wall as more than ten black-clad men drew their long swords. In an instant, the sword lights shimmered ominously.
"It would be better to call your leader out for a proper discussion. I can handle you all with one hand," Ye Feng said calmly.
The members of the Dragon Gang on the wall had never been insulted like this before. Before Lu Zishi could give an order, they had already circulated their Vital Energy to the maximum and flicked their wrists to swoop down from above.
"Seeking death!"
"Why waste words with him? Just kill him!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
More than a dozen mid-level warriors from the Origin Martial Realm unleashed a powerful aura that disrupted the airflow in the narrow alley. Around Ye Feng and Fan Chen, the sound of explosive airwaves echoed.
Fan Chen's face changed drastically. As a Peak of Ninth Level of Strength Martial Realm warrior, he could not withstand the pressure from so many Origin Martial Realm experts. His legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground.
"Be careful, don't hurt me!" Fan Chen shouted desperately, hoping his companions would take him into account. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Ye Feng, who remained firmly standing in place. Under the immense pressure, there was no sign of him wanting to dodge; instead, he seemed to be pushing back against the overwhelming aura.
"This kid is strong!" Fan Chen suddenly felt regret. Ye Feng before him seemed to transform into a giant sword, exuding an overwhelming aura that made it impossible to defeat him.
The Dragon Gang members worked together skillfully. Their sword energy appeared chaotic but was actually coordinated, quickly converging on Ye Feng.
"Dragon's Convergence Strike!" Lu Zishi shouted, and everyone struck simultaneously, their sword tips aimed directly at Ye Feng.
Ye Feng stood still, unmoving. To Lu Zishi, it seemed as if he was stunned by their powerful aura.
"Hmph, under the Dragon's Convergence Strike attack, even if you are hiding your strength as a late-stage Origin Martial Realm expert, you will definitely find it hard to cope!" Lu Zishi had already guessed that Ye Feng might be concealing his power. Therefore, he directly called upon the Dragon Team to execute the Dragon's Convergence Strike. In the past, even when encountering tough opponents, few could escape unscathed from this attack.
Clang! The young man in front of him seemed to move but also appeared completely still.
The golden sword in his hand trembled as if struck by an unimaginable force. A flash of sword light passed before his eyes; it was his own sword light reflecting back at an incredible speed.
"How is this possible!" He couldn't fathom what was happening. The astonishing Sword Light formed by the Dragon's Convergence Strike disintegrated in an instant right before his eyes. The broken sword tips shot out in all directions and pierced through the chests of all Dragon Gang members.
Pfft!
Including Lu Zishi, everyone spat out blood as the rebounding sword tips pierced through their chests. The group of black-clad gang members who had just skimmed past the wall were also struck by the unmatched force of the sword tips, crashing back against the walls on both sides of the alley.
The wall crumbled, and debris flew everywhere as more than ten figures were directly slammed into the wall by a tremendous force. Their bodies twisted together, as if their bones had completely shattered, crushed into a mass and embedded in the wall.
"It seems I used too much strength. Sorry, I haven't used my palm technique much lately," Ye Feng shook his head and smiled slightly at the dazed Fan Chen beneath him, revealing a set of white teeth.
With just a casual strike, he had killed over ten elite gang members in one blow!
Fan Chen was somewhat stunned; the terrifying power of the young man named Ye exceeded his imagination. The ambush that he thought was guaranteed to succeed was effortlessly dismantled by Ye Feng. Even Long Xinghai, the leader of the Dragon Gang, might not have been able to achieve this.
Ye Feng's aura erupted quickly and retracted even faster, transforming him back into an innocuous ordinary youth in an instant. However, deep within his eye sockets, there was always a glimmer of chilling coldness that pierced to the bone.
"Young Hero, spare me! Young Hero, spare me! I am also helpless and have been misled by Lu Zishi," Fan Chen mustered all his courage to sit up from the ground but had no thoughts of escaping. Instead, he hurriedly bowed his head in supplication.
Fan Chen's cultivation was average, but his wits were not low. How could he possibly escape from Ye Feng, who could kill over ten Origin Martial Realm experts with a single move?
Ye Feng curled his lips and glanced at Fan Chen dismissively. "Not killing you means you still have some use. Until I find the Cloud Chaser Leopard, I will temporarily keep your life. Whether you can keep it until the end depends on your performance."
"Young Hero, rest assured! I will definitely help you find the Cloud Chaser Leopard!" Fan Chen said with a mournful expression. He had no idea what to do next; the gang brothers crushed into a mass within the wall hung over him like swords. Ye Feng's ruthless methods had thoroughly shocked him.
Ye Feng snorted lightly and waved his hand casually, causing Fan Chen to involuntarily stand up from the ground.
"Lead the way!"
Fan Chen trembled and stumbled a few steps forward before suddenly recalling something. With an ugly expression, he said, "Young Hero, the Cloud Chaser Leopard is the spirit beast mount of Long Xinghai, the leader of the Dragon Gang. It is usually kept in the Spirit Beast Pavilion within the gang. However, Dragon Gang Leader Tian Yi has already taken the Cloud Chaser Leopard to Linyuan City’s southern district today to visit the local top gang leader of Angry Flood Gang."
There was no response from behind him. Fan Chen planned to continue speaking, hoping that mentioning Angry Flood Gang would intimidate Ye Feng so that he would not be forced to bring this killing star along.
He was very clear that if Long Xinghai found out that he was the one who brought Ye Feng over, regardless of the outcome, he would face Long Xinghai's terrifying wrath and would not escape death.
As for whether Ye Feng could kill Long Xinghai within the Angry Flood Gang, he had never considered this possibility. No matter how strong this killer star was, he would not be a match for three Experts of the Gale Martial Realm.
"Our Dragon Gang only has Long Xinghai as a Gangwu Realm expert, but the Angry Flood Gang has two. The leader Guang Cheng'an has already reached the peak of the initial stage of Gangwu Realm, and the deputy leader Guang Chengquan also possesses initial stage Gangwu Realm cultivation. I advise you to think carefully, Young Hero. It is not worth offending three Gangwu Realm experts for just a mere spirit beast."
A beast that has been tamed and controlled by humans is referred to as a spirit beast.
There was still no response from behind. Fan Chen thought that the other party was afraid. Just as he was about to turn around to ask, he suddenly heard Ye Feng let out an impatient sigh.
"Are you done talking? If you're done, hurry up and take me there."
Fan Chen nearly fell to the ground.
"My ancestor, those are three Gangwu Realm experts! Are you really planning to charge into that den of dragons and tigers?" This sentence was swallowed back down; he really didn't want to go to the Angry Flood Gang to seek death, but he had no choice but to obey Ye Feng's orders. After weighing his options, he could only lower his head and continue leading the way.
