Killing He Meng

Before he could finish, Lin Feng's fist had already smashed into his heart, cutting off Mu Li's clamor.

Looking at Mu Li lying on the ground, completely devoid of life, a surge of vengeful pleasure immediately rose in Lin Feng's heart.

He had kept the matter of being blocked inside the cave firmly in mind.

At the same time, he frowned slightly. Although it had been within his expectations that the Wolf Head Mercenary Group would spread word of the cave, it still felt rather troublesome.

Xiao Yi Xian's days in Qingshan Town were probably not going very well now.

It seemed that after dealing with the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's Third Group Leader, he would need to return to Qingshan Town.

After all, rescuing a beauty from dire straits would surely greatly increase his chances of winning over Xiao Yi Xian.

Moreover, once Xiao Yi Xian grew up in a few years, she would become a Dou Zong-level expert.

On the Northwest Continent, a Dou Zong-level expert would be an enormous help to him.

After planning out his actions for the coming period, Lin Feng did not forget his original purpose. He crouched down and stripped the Storage Ring from Mu Li's finger.

After examining it for a while, he found that its contents were fairly decent. At the very least, there was a Mysterious Tier Low-grade Dou Skill and a High Yellow Tier Cultivation Method.

After searching the other guards as well, he turned and headed straight toward the camp of the other group.

The other group was led by the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's Third Group Leader, He Meng.

At that moment, he sat on a couch in the main tent, holding a "shabbily dressed" beautiful married woman as he impatiently listened to his subordinate's report.

After groping her for a while, he could no longer hold himself back. He waved his hand and said irritably, "Enough. I have something to take care of now. Get out first. We'll talk about Mu Li in a minute."

"Third Group Leader, Young Group Leader's side has been out of contact since last night. This morning, I dispatched three squads to investigate, one of which was led by a Seven-Star Dou Practitioner like myself."

The mercenary paused, his expression somewhat fearful, before continuing, "But without exception, they've all lost contact. Something must have happened to Young Group Leader's side. I'm afraid you'll have to personally lead a team to investigate!"

"Enough. I have my own arrangements. You, get out first!"

Seeing the ferocious look in He Meng's eyes, the mercenary had no choice but to leave the tent first.

Half a minute later, He Meng had lost all desire and no longer looked as irritable as before.

Walking out of the tent and seeing his subordinate immediately approach him, he finally recalled the serious matter and asked, "When was the last time we communicated with Mu Li's side?"

The subordinate hurriedly replied, "Yesterday morning. Young Group Leader said everything was normal at the time, and there has been no news since."

"Fine. Gather everyone else back now. I'll make the trip myself."

He Meng's thoughts had returned to normal. After hearing his subordinate's report, he too felt that this matter was unusual, so he decided to go in person.

"Yes." After hearing this, the man hurriedly took out a signal firework and launched it.

As a firework exploded above the camp, the surrounding mercenaries hurried toward the camp.

"Why are only a few of you back?"

After waiting for a long time and seeing only a handful of mercenaries return to the camp, He Meng immediately flew into a rage and roared.

Seeing He Meng lose his temper, the mercenaries hurriedly replied, "Third Group Leader, we don't know either! The moment we heard the signal, we rushed here, but we didn't see any other brothers along the way!"

Having lived on the edge of a blade in the Monster Mountain Range for so many years, He Meng instantly sensed that something was wrong. He shouted urgently, "What?! Then hurry up and find out where everyone is!"

Before He Meng could finish speaking, he saw a black shadow flying toward him. He swiftly reached out and caught it, then let out a muffled groan as the immense force drove him back more than ten steps.

Before he could attend to his numbed arms, He Meng lowered his head to look at the object in his hand, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

The flying object was, shockingly, a corpse.

Furthermore, the corpse's clothes bore the image of a wolf's head. It was clearly one of their mercenary group's members.

He Meng also recognized the corpse. It was one of the few Seven-Star Dou Practitioners in the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.

"Who is it? Who dares kill a member of my Wolf Head Mercenary Group?" He Meng roared toward the direction from which the corpse had flown.

"Heh. If you wanted to claim the bounty on me, you should have been prepared to be killed by me."

With a cold laugh, Lin Feng slowly emerged from the forest and spoke indifferently.

Seeing Lin Feng gradually reveal himself, He Meng was stunned by his youthful face.

Then, the information from his mercenary group's wanted notice immediately surfaced in his mind.

A flash of greed instantly appeared in his eyes.

When he had entered the Monster Mountain Range to investigate, he had also visited that cave. Naturally, he knew that its owner had not been weak.

The items left inside the cave surely were not ordinary. They were very likely Mysterious Tier Cultivation Methods and Dou Skills.

Licking his lips, He Meng gave a sinister smile. "Kid, hand over the items you obtained from the cave, and I'll spare your life. How about it?"

"Heh, do you take me for a fool? Would you let me go after getting the items?"

Lin Feng curled his lips and said with an amused smile.

"Kid, since you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit, killing you and taking the items will work just as well!"

As he spoke, a bloodthirsty smile rose on his lips. He Meng chuckled darkly and stomped heavily on the ground.

High Yellow Tier Dou Skill, Rock Collision!

Grayish-white Dou Qi surged across his body, and He Meng's skin began to turn grayish-white. At first glance, it looked just like rock.

Then, like a massive magical beast, he charged wildly and violently toward Lin Feng.

Watching He Meng charge at him, Lin Feng gave a disdainful smile. An Eight-Star Dou Practitioner with Yellow Tier Cultivation Methods and Dou Skills posed no threat to him at all.

He raised his palm, and surging Dou Qi whipped his originally soft sleeve into a loud flutter.

With a burst, Lin Feng's figure swiftly vanished from where he stood and shot toward He Meng.

"It really is a Mysterious Tier Dou Skill!"

Seeing Lin Feng's movements, He Meng's pupils narrowed. Then he said excitedly, "Hahaha, it seems this Mysterious Tier Dou Skill will ultimately be mine."

Bang!

Lin Feng's palm slammed into He Meng's body, crimson Dou Qi colliding with He Meng's rock-like skin.

"Mm."

He Meng let out a muffled groan as he felt a force pass through his skin and penetrate deep into his body from the point of impact.

Under the tremendous pressure, his internal organs rapidly ruptured, and blood began gushing continuously from the corners of his mouth.

Clearly, Lin Feng's Mysterious Tier Dou Skill had inflicted severe damage on him.

Fortunately, He Meng's physique was exceptionally sturdy. Though he knew that his internal injuries would become dangerous if left unchecked, tempted by the high-tier Dou Skill, he forcibly endured them for the moment and grinned viciously. "Kid, it seems your Dou Skill can't break my defense. Surrender obediently."

"Oh, really? Then I'll have to put more force into it."

Lin Feng smiled and glanced down at the shattered white skin around his palm.

He swiftly raised his hand, used Crimson Fire Palm again, and fiercely struck He Meng's body.
