This burly man was at least two meters tall, with an extremely strong physique. His muscles stretched his light leather armor so much that it looked like it was about to explode. Standing there, he resembled a Grizzly or a wall.

He looked at Sun Fei with the expression of a cat looking at a mouse, a slight smirk playing on his lips, making no attempt to hide his mockery.

No wonder he was so arrogant.

According to the intelligence he had previously gathered, this mere King of Chambord City was only a Three-Star Warrior. Although Okocha later suspected that the mysterious four-star expert was indeed this man, he didn't believe that anyone in the world could advance from three-star to four-star in less than half a month.

This is blatant lying!

So Obinna sent someone to test Sun Fei's skills, and he actually did it openly and honestly, without any attempt to hide anything, chasing after Sun Fei.

In his view, Sun Fei had led him into this shabby alley, which was tantamount to throwing himself into a trap.

However, before testing the strength of this foolish King, he didn't mind using the strength of a lowly guard to thoroughly humiliate the seemingly high-ranking King's dignity. For a guy like him with a somewhat twisted and perverse mentality, nothing gave him more pleasure than ravaging those high-ranking royalty.

So, as he spoke, he made no attempt to conceal his strength. In just a moment, a surge of power rushed toward Sun Fei —a power that shook the earth. Wherever the orange flames passed, everything was gilded with yellow. In such an environment, he could freely control any soil and Rock within fifty meters of his body.

He is a master of earth-based magic.

His name is He Shengzhen.

In Kingdom of Thrace, his strength ranks among the top three in the entire country.

Beneath his massive hands, countless skulls were crushed to pieces, including Resist toddlers, beautiful women, the elderly, the poor, and nobles... He even had a young Prince from Kingdom of Thrace tortured to death, a masterpiece he would never forget. He made the clear-eyed six-year-old Prince wail in his ear for ten days and ten nights before he died. The poor little fellow, when he died, not a single bone in his body was intact, and his body had become a black, foul-smelling pile of nauseating minced flesh.

He made a small wine vessel from the little Prince's skull, which he carried with him at all times and used to drink.

Soon, He Shengzhen witnessed the scene he had hoped to see—

After He Shengzhen briefly demonstrated his power at the Four-Star Class Initial Stage, the King's previous confidence vanished instantly, like snow melting under scorching heat. His expression changed drastically, and his confidence turned into panic. Despite trying to calm himself down, He Shengzhen saw that the King's legs were trembling, and he was looking around at the surrounding terrain, clearly preparing to flee.

He really is a good-for-nothing.

"Trying to run?"

He Shengzhen his arms and took a steady step forward, his mocking expression becoming even more pronounced.

"Who... who are you? What do you want?" The unlucky guy in front of him spoke tremblingly. To He Shengzhen's utter rage, the guy actually covered his chest with both hands, as if he was about to do something to him.

"I?"

Seeing this, He Shengzhen became even more certain of his earlier guess. He bit down on a blade of grass in his mouth and glanced contemptuously at the King through his teeth. "Little brat, I'm a killer who takes money to kill. If I stop you here, what do you think I'm going to do?"

He was deliberately trying to scare this unfortunate guy in front of him.

"Ah... you... kill... kill me?" The King trembled even more violently, like a frightened rabbit, screaming, his face instantly turning pale as he stared incredulously at the giant. "Do you know who I am? I am the King of Chambord City! How dare you kill a King?"

idiot.

He Shengzhen didn't even bother to say anything to the King in front of him.

Some people lack even the most basic self-awareness, living in a self-righteous world. The rights they are born with make them complacent and arrogant, making it difficult for them to understand that without those rights, they are nothing at all. What a tragedy this is!

The King before them was precisely this kind of naive and pathetic fellow.

He Shengzhen his arms and walked forward step by step.

Of course, he didn't really intend to kill the King in front of him. After all, this little kingdom was an important part of the plan he was about to make, and he couldn't afford to lose it and ruin that person's plan.

He was simply enjoying watching a King wail and struggle before his eyes.

"Ahhhhhh... You... Don't come any closer... What are you doing?" The King retreated step by step, his face pale like a little white rabbit trapped in a dead end by a big bad wolf, trembling as he said, "Why are you killing me? Who sent you? Tell me... There must be some misunderstanding here!"

He Shengzhen is approaching step by step.

Orange flames flickered erratically beneath his feet as he unleashed his full power of Four-Star Class Earth-Element Dou Qi. Wherever he stepped, the hard rocks on the ground softened and became sticky, like a swamp—this was the power of Four-Star-Rank Warrior, capable of altering the course of the battlefield and creating a more perfect fighting arena for himself.

"Who sent you to kill me?" The King trembled violently. Under the chilling murderous aura, his mind seemed to be on the verge of collapse, and he kept asking this question hysterically over and over again.

Unfortunately, no matter how arrogant he is, He Shengzhen will not answer this question.

Because he didn't really come to kill him.

But at that moment, something strange happened—

When He Shengzhen, with the aura he could create, approached the King step by step until he was less than ten meters away, his expression suddenly froze.

Because he suddenly saw the trembling King before him, whose expression had changed from fear to... disappointment.

Yes, it's that feeling of disappointment when a child cries and doesn't receive comfort from their parents.

Before he could react, he heard the King rub his chin and sigh, "Sigh, this is no fun at all. I didn't get any useful information... Hey, Little Black, tell me, was my performance just now really a failure?"

Woof woof woof!

The Big Black, which had been lying not far behind Sun Fei watching the scene unfold like a spectator, yawned, barked a few times out of boredom, and gave Sun Fei a disdainful look with its sly eyes, as if urging him to hurry up and finish this trouble so they could return to the palace; this old dog hadn't even had dinner yet.

"Fine..." Sun Fei looked at He Shengzhen with great dissatisfaction. Gone was the timid, fearful figure from before; he had instantly transformed from prey into hunter, clenching his fists until they cracked, then shaking them, and said, "Since you're so uncooperative, I'll try a different approach—I'll communicate with you using my fists!"

He Shengzhen's face turned cold, filled with disdain. "You?"

Sun Fei remained silent.

He began to move closer.

He Shengzhen's expression quickly turned ugly.

With each step Sun Fei took forward, his aura doubled, his powerful and violent energy climbing from the Two-Star Class Peak Stage. By the time he took his fifth step, his strength was no less than that of He Shengzhen's initial fourth-star Earth-Element Dou Qi. Although he did not radiate dazzling Dou Qi flames, this violent aura had already made He Shengzhen feel a great sense of crisis.

We've been tricked!

He Shengzhen's heart began to sink.

It was only then that he realized he seemed to have become a joke.

Thinking he had the upper hand from the start, controlling everything like a cat playing with a mouse, and just moments ago mocking others for their lack of self-awareness, he realized that he had been making a fool of himself, while the person and dog in front of him were actually acting and watching the show.

Especially the Taunt look in the eyes of that Big Black made He Shengzhen have a strange feeling—that he was not even as good as a dog.

"You—you—are—looking for—death!"

When that string of inferiority and pride in his heart was violently touched, He Shengzhen suddenly fell into an unprecedented rage, like a bear holding in its poop being suddenly poked in the anus with a small wooden stick. He roared, and orange flames burst wildly from his body, like a high-powered dim light bulb illuminating the shabby alley with poetic beauty. Then, his body transformed into a cannonball, and his fists, as fast as lightning, smashed towards Sun Fei.

Sun Fei took a step forward and raised his fist to meet the attack.

Boom!

Four fists landed together in mid-air without any fancy moves.

In that instant, even time seemed to pause for a moment. Then, the entire alleyway began to shake, the orange flames shattered, and a visible, fine ripple emanated from He Shengzhen's fist, then swept towards his arms...

Accompanying the tremor was a series of cracking sounds as bones broke.

Then, He Shengzhen's massive body, like a broken sack, tumbled backward at an even faster speed than when it had charged at him.

Blood splattered.

First update.

One more chapter to come.

I ran three or four kilometers in the park, and my headache is a little better.
