In my eyes, there is only you, not because I love you so much, but because I want to kill you!
The middle-aged man read the intense killing intent in Tian Feng's gaze, yet he felt no concern at all. He was extremely confident in his own abilities, not to mention he had capable allies by his side.
"You want to kill me? But I think you should thank me. If it weren't for me trailing that useless Cao Shuang, your beauty wouldn't be here stirring emotions with you. She would have long since perished, leaving behind nothing but a shattered corpse."
Since Wen Yun valued her chastity above her life, the middle-aged man's words held some truth in a certain sense. However, Tian Feng was not inclined to return the favor.
He gently raised his handgun and aimed it at the middle-aged man. "You truly are the most skilled person I've ever seen at committing evil acts."
The middle-aged man's gaze lingered on the ominous handgun before he spoke in a chilling tone, "Raising your gun now seems rather impolite, doesn't it?"
The current situation favored the middle-aged man; with a single command, Tian Feng and Wen Yun could be turned into Swiss cheese. Thus, Tian Feng's actions were undoubtedly reckless.
However, what happened next left the middle-aged man utterly astonished.
Tian Feng spun the trigger of the handgun around his thumb and then pointed it at the middle-aged man again, doing this three times in total.
This was a signal, one that was popular only within a specific circle, yet the middle-aged man understood it.
He asked in confusion, "Are you a student of Universal Hunting?"
Tian Feng smirked slightly, pleased with the middle-aged man's reaction. "If I'm not mistaken, you must be Senior Wright; your portrait hangs on the wall of outstanding graduates at the school."
By saying this, Tian Feng indirectly acknowledged the middle-aged man's question. However, this response caused a slight frown to form on the middle-aged man's brow as his expression grew serious.
There were very few students of Universal Hunting; each year only a handful graduated successfully, and those who made it onto the wall of outstanding graduates were even rarer.
Thus, while the middle-aged man was powerful, Tian Feng showed no signs of nervousness in his presence. This conveyed to the middle-aged man: I know you and your strength, but I am not afraid of you.
Just now, Tian Feng's gesture was a sign from Universal Hunting. One turn represented keeping to oneself, two turns indicated an invitation to cooperate, and three turns signified a challenge.
The challenges in Universal Hunting are conducted in a fair environment, meaning one-on-one. During school, one could not challenge someone of a higher rank, and the challenged party could not refuse.
Now that he had left school, the middle-aged man named Light could refuse, but due to his special feelings for his alma mater and his desire to uphold its honor, he did not want to decline.
However, before the battle commenced, he needed to clarify what kind of background this junior Bai Yi had.
"I have been away from Universal Hunting for ten years. Since you have seen me, you must know some of my reputation at school. A challenge is a life-and-death battle; are you truly prepared for this?"
Tian Feng shrugged, appearing somewhat helpless.
"Are you saying that if I don't challenge you, I can leave peacefully?"
Light suddenly realized his earlier words were somewhat shameful. It had been a long time since anyone had brought up the past, and it affected his mood to the point where his thoughts momentarily short-circuited.
"Ahem, before we start fighting, you should introduce yourself. I don't want an unknown person challenging me; anyone bold enough to take me on should at least be a five-star graduate."
The graduation classification in Universal Hunting ranges from one star to five stars. One star means just meeting the graduation standard, while five stars far exceed it. As for the outstanding graduates, they are selected from among the five-star graduates and are particularly harshly evaluated.
One-star students are highly sought after throughout the Cosmos, let alone five-star or outstanding graduates.
Feng nodded in agreement with Light's words but held back some thoughts he did not express.
That is to say, like Light, Tian Feng was also on the list of outstanding graduates!
Seeing that Feng had no intention of revealing the truth, Light figured that asking about those superficial titles was no longer important. After all, they were about to engage in battle; their true strengths would soon be revealed through combat.
Light stood with his hands behind his back, but now he finally brought them to the front. He took a sharp knife from one of his subordinates beside him and then removed his outer coat.
Light's intention was clear and in accordance with the rules. The passive challenger could choose their preferred method of combat—whether it be unarmed fighting, cold weapons like swords and knives, or firearms.
Tian Feng watched as Light drew the knife, feeling a surge of joy within. He was now at a stalemate, caught between advancing and retreating, and considerations of heat or cold were no longer necessary.
He handed a handgun to Wen Yun, who looked both bewildered and worried. From his left leg, Tian Feng pulled out a Dagger, resembling an oversized embroidery needle or a syringe needle. Friends who were afraid of needles would surely weep at the sight.
The Dagger and the sharp knife were similar weapons with comparable techniques, making it seem like a fair duel.
However, the pressure each faced at that moment was entirely different. Fundamentally, Tian Feng's difficulties were multiplied several times compared to Light's.
But no one felt pity at this moment. Light let out a low shout and transformed into a blur, rushing towards Tian Feng.
Just moments ago indoors, Light's large stride seemed to cover five meters in an instant, as swift as thunder.
Now, his speed appeared even more formidable than before.
Tian Feng aimed to keep the battlefield on his side since he was closer to Wen Yun and could guard against unexpected events. Thus, he was slightly slower than Light.
In an instant, they collided.
The sharp knife and Dagger met in the night sky with a piercing clash that echoed sharply.
Although Tian Feng's attack wasn't fierce, the force behind it was astonishing. Compared to his previous encounters in Washing City, it was like night and day. In this clash, he did not find himself at a disadvantage; rather, it was Light who felt a shock in his heart.
It had been many years since he had faced such a formidable opponent. Yet Tian Feng had just graduated from Universal Hunting. It was akin to comparing someone who had taken college entrance exams many years ago with someone who had just finished theirs; in terms of facing that challenge alone, the former clearly had the upper hand.
In terms of facing the duel, Light was clearly out of practice, while Tian Feng was accustomed to it.
With no time to think deeply, Light could only grit his teeth and continue fighting. Even if he found himself at a disadvantage in the end, he believed he could find an excuse to withdraw. At that point, he could let Brothers shoot him down in a chaotic manner, and that would be the end of it. Moreover, judging by their recent performances, the two seemed evenly matched.
The battle continued, with Tian Feng maintaining a cautious attitude, executing his moves meticulously. He balanced offense and defense in an orderly fashion.
After some time in combat, Light realized that his worries were completely unnecessary; Tian Feng's strength was not much greater than his own. If he could hold on for a while longer without either side gaining the upper hand, he would withdraw and no longer indulge him in this game.
A gun is always more powerful than a knife.
However, just as he was thinking this, an incident suddenly arose.
