"Whoosh!"

A bloodstain appeared between the youth's eyebrows.

"You... you're not hurt?" he shouted, unwilling to accept it.

Chu Feng's movements were swift and filled with powerful explosive force, showing no signs of injury at all.

"Huanhuan, I can't go see you anymore..." A look of longing flashed in the young servant's eyes before he fell down in defeat.

Once Chu Feng was free, he planted his long saber into the ground and slowly tightened his grip on the wolfdog's jaw that was clamped onto his shoulder.

The wolfdog's fierce growls gradually turned into panicked whimpers, finally becoming the terrified cries of a small beast as it let out a mournful yelp.

"Hah!"

Chu Feng roared, his hands suddenly exerting force. He actually tore the wolfdog's fanged maw in half. Blood splattered onto his body, making him look like a demon god bathed in gore.

Seeing this, the other wolfdog cowered, tucking its tail between its legs, and lay on the ground trembling all over. The ground became wet.

Li Dahai stared at Chu Feng's shoulder, which had been bitten by the wolfdog, his pupils contracting violently.

His bronze skin was completely unharmed, not even a scratch.

How was this possible? The wolfdogs specially bred by the Fang Family could even bite through wood as thick as a bowl.

Once bitten by a wolfdog, even a Peak Skin Polishing Realm Martial Artist would have a chunk of flesh torn off, so how could he not even be slightly injured?

[Killed Wolfdog, Plundered 1 Year Lifespan.]

[Killed Early Skin Polishing Realm Martial Artist, Plundered 2 Years Lifespan.]

A pleasant notification chimed. Chu Feng could confirm that this was not a dream; he had truly obtained something that could defy fate.

His eyes grew brighter, and his whole body became uncontrollably excited. Looking at Li Dahai again, his gaze was filled with a predatory desire.

Chu Feng threw the dead dog aside and drew his saber again.

If you want to trade me for bounty money, then pay with your life!

Seeing Chu Feng charge at him, Li Dahai urged the remaining wolfdog to attack Chu Feng.

But the wolfdog had already lost its courage. It only whimpered incessantly, burying its head in the ground and trembling.

Seeing Chu Feng advancing step by step, Li Dahai angrily chopped off the dog's head with his saber and met Chu Feng's long saber.

"Clang..."

The clash of metal produced a piercing sound.

Chu Feng followed up with a horizontal slash. Li Dahai couldn't dodge in time, and a bloody gash appeared on his face. His hair came undone, and he looked utterly disheveled.

He exclaimed in shock, "Late Skin Polishing Realm? What is your purpose in hiding your strength and staying at the Fang Manor?"

"You'd better worry about yourself!"

Chu Feng's eyes turned red, his face flushed with excitement. At this moment, Li Dahai was no longer a living person in his eyes but a mobile source of lifespan.

"Brat, we're both Late Skin Polishing Realm martial artists. It's not certain who will win!"

Seeing Chu Feng underestimate him so much, Li Dahai angrily waved his saber and launched a preemptive attack.

Chu Feng gripped his long saber and unleashed the Breaking Edge Saber Technique he had practiced for many years. Cold light crisscrossed the air, overwhelming Li Dahai.

In just four or five exchanges, Li Dahai's arms went numb, and his blood essence churned.

Chu Feng gave him no chance to breathe. He flicked his wrist, deflecting Li Dahai's weapon, and changed his horizontal slash into a thrust. The tip of the saber swiftly pierced Li Dahai's heart and lungs.

Blood flowed like water. Li Dahai clutched his punctured chest and said in horror:

"How is this possible? How can your skin be so tough?"

He had clearly swung his saber and hit Chu Feng's chest squarely, so why was he completely unharmed?

Chu Feng said coldly, "Just be a clueless ghost!"

"You..."

Li Dahai died on the spot, his life extinguished.

[Killed Late Skin Polishing Realm Martial Artist, Plundered 3 Years Lifespan.]

Chu Feng touched the red mark on his chest and said with joy, "This Bronze Skin Iron Bones combined with the defensive power of the Late Skin Polishing Realm is truly astonishing. I took Li Dahai's blow head-on and was completely unharmed."

Even though he had deflected the saber, reducing its force by fifty percent, the defense of his skin was still incredible.

If Chu Feng had chosen to trade blows earlier, he could have killed Li Dahai in just two moves.

It was a pity about the wolfdog; he could have gained another year of lifespan.

Chu Feng knew he couldn't stay here long; the Fang Family might have pursuers.

He took two taels of silver from the corpse, stripped off a relatively dry set of clothes to change into, disguised the traces of the fight around him, and then, donning a straw cape, hurried away in the cold rain.

After half an hour of non-stop travel, Chu Feng arrived at a large river.

The Tianlan River was a famous large river in Jizhou, winding for thousands of miles. Especially downstream from Yong'an City, it branched into four tributaries: the Tianyu River, Tianqing River, Tianlang River, and Tianxing River.

If Chu Feng jumped into the river and washed away his scent, he could flow downstream, and the Fang Family would have no idea which direction he had gone.

With his current physical condition, he could soak in the water for several hours without getting cold, and he could definitely escape the Fang Family's influence.

He had come to the Tianlan River once before, and it had been calm then. He hadn't expected it to become so turbulent now, with the river's area having doubled.

The current Tianlan River was raging. Jumping in would be a sure death.

Seeing this, Chu Feng felt a sense of relief.

Since that was the case, he wouldn't run anymore.

Fleeing a thousand miles away and relying on the Plunder System for stealthy development was definitely the wise choice.

But if his mind wasn't clear and he felt too stifled, with a ball of fire burning inside him, how could he reach the peak of martial arts?

A true man, born between heaven and earth, how could he flee at the first sign of trouble?

"Since even the heavens don't want me to escape, then let the hunting begin, until I exterminate their entire clan!"

Chu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze like an eternally frozen deep pool, dark and chilling, as if it could freeze everything.

A group of uninvited guests found the place where Chu Feng had previously fought.

"Liu Hu? Li Dahai? How are they both dead here?"

"They were both Late Skin Polishing Realm martial artists. How could they end up dead here fighting two against one?"

Seeing the tragic state of Liu Hu and Li Dahai, the group was utterly horrified. Many among them were not as skilled as these two, and naturally, they felt fear.

As for the young servant who had just entered the Skin Polishing Realm, everyone subconsciously ignored him.

Chen Yuan, the Fang Family's guard supervisor, stepped forward. After searching the bodies of the three, he said coldly, "What great skill could a lowly firewood-chopping servant possibly have? It must be that Liu Hu and Li Dahai were careless and underestimated their enemy, falling for this brat's trick."

"The blood on the bodies hasn't solidified yet. They died no more than an hour ago. Chu Feng definitely hasn't gotten far. Everyone spread out and search. Once you find Chu Feng, immediately light the Heaven Shaking Thunder to signal!"

"Chen Yuan, Zhao Da, Lin Shan, the three of you come with me to scout the Tianlan River. This brat might very well have fled along the Tianlan River..."

"Yes, boss." The three agreed in unison.
