Chapter 31 Repeated Assassination Attempts
"F*ck, where the hell is this kid hiding?" an hour later, a Death Soldier of the Martial King Realm Fourth Level Heaven cursed out loud.
He had been using his Divine Sense to search for an hour without any success and now felt a bit fatigued.
From afar, a companion called out, "Xue Laosan, did you find anything?"
"Not a damn thing. That kid is probably still hiding deep within the Beast King Territory. Hell, maybe the Beast King Red Flame Lion ate him already," the cultivator known as Xue Laosan muttered.
"That kid isn't that easy to kill. Rest for a while, then continue the search with Divine Sense. We absolutely can't let that kid escape," another voice rang out.
"Got it!" the one called Xue Laosan replied.
The Death Soldier leaned back against a large tree and sat down to rest.
He glanced at the pitch-dark depths of the forest and slightly furrowed his brows. Then, he took out a bottle of wine and started drinking.
For cultivators to drink alcohol was quite normal—they pretty much drank it like water, since the alcoholic content of wines in the Heavenly Martial Continent was very low.
"Now's my chance."
Lin Feng, who had been motionless and hiding in the darkness, saw his opportunity as Xue Laosan was at his most relaxed. It was the perfect time to assassinate him.
Swoosh.
Lin Feng disappeared without a sound.
Buzz.
Suddenly, a cold gleam descended from the sky, stabbing towards him. The relaxed Xue Laosan, who had been resting against the tree, instantly changed his expression.
When he saw the identity of the person wielding the sword, his face showed an expression of utter shock.
It was the very person they were hunting down, who had recovered and evaded the Divine Sense of several people to stealthily approach undetected.
Xue Laosan was horrified. He wanted to dodge, but it was already too late.
He wanted to yell, alerting the others.
But before Xue Laosan could even open his mouth,
He felt a sharp pain in his head and could no longer speak.
"Am I really going to die like this?" was the last thought that flashed through Xue Laosan's mind before he breathed his last.
"Huff..."
Lin Feng exhaled deeply, having killed Xue Laosan. It had indeed been quite dangerous, but ultimately he had successfully eliminated him.
Swoosh.
Lin Feng didn't linger and quickly left, heading towards the second Martial King Realm Fourth Level Heaven cultivator.
This cultivator was also in a resting state, presenting a perfect opportunity for Lin Feng to launch his assassination.
The location of this cultivator was even more suitable for the kill since he was sitting cross-legged on the peak of a one-thousand-meter-high mountain, surrounded by no cover whatsoever.
Lin Feng's expression was indifferent. Choosing such a spot, did he have too much confidence in himself or simply underestimate Lin Feng?
Either way, it was an ideal place for him to carry out the assassination.
The Death Soldier was sitting cross-legged. He was nearly done resting and was about to extend his Divine Sense for another search.
However, at that moment, he felt a chilling presence envelop his entire body from behind.
Although his reaction was extremely fast,
He had sensed the danger as soon as Lin Feng released his killing intent.
But it was too late to react in any meaningful way.
Puff.
In the next moment, a longsword pierced through his chest, and the Death Soldier was immediately killed by Lin Feng.
"Two more to go."
Lin Feng took a deep breath.
The last two were the most powerful, one at the Seventh Level of Martial King Realm, the other at the Tenth Level of Martial King Realm.
It wouldn't be easy to take them down.
Looking at the corpse of the Death Soldier, Lin Feng came up with a brilliant idea.
He had found a set of Night Clothes inside the Death Soldier's Space Ring, and Lin Feng put on the Night Clothes, covering his face.
He quickly headed toward the Seventh Level Death Soldier of the Martial King Realm.
This Seventh Level Martial King Realm Death Soldier was seated in a meditative posture in front of a cliff, blocking off any possibility of an attack from behind.
This person was obviously extremely vigilant; noticing Lin Feng approaching, he stood up.
"Sir, I've found a treasure over here,"
Lin Feng said, imitating the voice of Xue Laosan.
"What is it that made you abandon your post and run over here?" asked the Seventh Level Martial King Realm powerhouse.
Despite a hint of reproach in his tone, the gleam in the Death Soldier's eyes told Lin Feng that he'd piqued his interest with the non-existent treasure.
"Sir will know once he sees it."
Lin Feng walked over; now, because of the dim light and his attire of Night Clothes, complemented by his imitation of Xue Laosan's voice, the Seventh Level Martial King Realm cultivator did not recognize Lin Feng's disguise right away.
With his head lowered, Lin Feng arrived in front of the Seventh Level Martial King Realm cultivator.
"No, you're not Xue Laosan, you're an imposter!"
Suddenly, the Seventh Level Martial King Realm cultivator shouted angrily, raised his palm, and launched a powerful strike toward Lin Feng.
A kilometer away, the Death Soldier Leader also heard the commotion and his expression changed slightly.
"It must be that kid."
"Whoosh..."
With a leap, the Death Soldier Leader quickly made his way toward the location of the Seventh Level Martial King Realm Death Soldier.
Meanwhile, the Seventh Level Martial King Realm cultivator had already readied his attack.
But Lin Feng had already made the first move, striking with his most potent blow.
A saber light, piercing through heaven and earth, shattering mountains and rivers, instantaneously slashing toward the Seventh Level Martial King Realm cultivator.
It was a saber light infused with a "Sword Spirit," with unimaginably terrifying power.
The saber light roared forth, emitting staggering fluctuations, instantly engulfing the Seventh Level Martial King Realm cultivator within it.
Had this man been able to fully deploy his Protective Gang Qi and bring forth a Defensive Magical Treasure, he might have been able to withstand Lin Feng's attack.
But Lin Feng hadn't given him enough time to prepare for these measures.
Lin Feng's attack was sudden.
"No!"
The Seventh Level Martial King Realm Death Soldier let out a terrified cry.
Spurt.
The next moment, he was bisected at the waist by the dazzling saber light.
"You're courting death, brat."
The roar came through as the Death Soldier Leader had already rushed over, only to arrive and witness his subordinate being slain by Lin Feng. With a furious shout, he drew his longsword.
Clang...
The longsword moved, and a killing aura filled the air.
Thirty-six saber lights directly slashed toward Lin Feng.
"What a terrifying saber technique!"
Lin Feng's face showed shock.
The skills of this Death Soldier Leader were truly fearsome. Lin Feng felt an unstoppable dominance from the thirty-six saber lights that the Death Soldier Leader had unleashed—an utterly tyrannical form of attack, one that crushed everything with absolute power.
Lin Feng summoned the Black Dragon Sword, placing it horizontally in front of him.
Clang clang clang...
The thirty-six relentless saber lights hammered down onto the Black Dragon Sword, and Lin Feng was sent flying.
With a loud 'bang,' Lin Feng's body crashed heavily into a mountaintop, which collapsed thunderously, burying him in the ruins.
