Chapter 25 Killing Hemeng

Chapter 25 Killing Hemeng

The punch from Lin Feng landed on Mu Li's heart before he could finish his outcry.

Looking at the lifeless body of Mu Li on the ground, Lin Feng felt a surge of vindictive satisfaction.

The incident with blocking the cave entrance was etched in his memory.

However, despite Lin Feng's expectation, the spreading of news about the cave by the Wolf Head Mercenary Group troubled him.

He speculated that life might not be easy for the Little Doctor in Qing Shan Town now.

It seemed necessary to return to Qing Shan Town after dealing with the Third Commander of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.

After all, rescuing a person from dire circumstances would significantly increase his chances with the Little Doctor.

Moreover, in a few years, the Little Doctor would likely become a high-level martial artist.

In the Northwestern Continent, having a high-level martial artist like her would greatly benefit him.

After planning his actions for the near future, Lin Feng remained true to his original intentions. He squatted down and removed the storage ring from Mu Li's finger.

After a brief inspection, he found it to contain at least one scroll of low-grade Xuan techniques and a high-grade Yellow-tier martial art.

After checking the other guards, Lin Feng turned and walked directly towards the direction of another camp - the camp of Hemon, the Third Commander of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.

At this moment, Hemon was sitting on the main bed in his tent, holding a "ragged" beautiful woman in his arms, listening impatiently to the reports from his subordinates.

After groping around the woman for a while, showing signs of impatience, he waved his hand and said irritably, "Alright, I have something to attend to now. You leave first. We'll talk about Mu Li's matter in a minute."

"Third Commander, since last night, the communication with the Junior Commander has been lost. This morning, I sent three squads to investigate, one of which was led by a fellow Seven-Star Fighter like myself."

The mercenary paused for a moment, looking somewhat fearful, and continued, "But without exception, all of them lost contact. It seems that something unexpected might have happened on the Junior Commander's side. Perhaps you need to personally lead a team to investigate."

"Alright, I have my arrangements. You, leave first!" 

Seeing Hemon's fierce gaze, the mercenary had no choice but to leave the tent first. 

Half a minute later, Hemon, now composed and without any agitation, walked out of the tent. Facing his subordinates who approached him immediately, he finally remembered the main matter and asked, "When was the last communication with Mu Li?"

The subordinate hurriedly replied, "Yesterday morning. At that time, the Junior Commander said everything was normal, but then there was no word from him."

"Alright, gather everyone else back. I'll go there myself."

Hemon's thoughts had returned to normalcy by now. After hearing the report from his subordinate, he realized the seriousness of the situation and decided to go there personally.

"Understood." The subordinate quickly took out a signal flare and set it off.

As a signal flare burst in the sky above the camp, surrounding mercenaries hurriedly rushed towards the direction of the camp.

"Why are only a few of you back?"

After waiting for a moment, Hemon, seeing only a handful of mercenaries returning to the camp, immediately exploded in anger.

Seeing Hemon getting furious, the few mercenaries hastily replied, "Third Commander, we don't know either! As soon as we heard the signal flare, we rushed here immediately, but we didn't encounter any other brothers on the way."

Having licked blood on the blade in the Beast Mountain Range for so many years, Hemon instantly sensed something was amiss. He urgently exclaimed, "What?! Why hasn't anyone else come back yet?!"

Hemon was cut off mid-sentence when he saw a dark figure flying towards him. He quickly reached out and grabbed it, then grunted as a powerful force pushed him back several steps.

Unable to ignore his numbing arms, Hemon lowered his head to look at the object in his hand, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

The object that flew towards him turned out to be a corpse.

Moreover, the attire on the corpse depicted a wolf's head, indicating that it belonged to their mercenary group.

And Hemon recognized this particular corpse—it was one of the few seven-star fighters in the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.

"Who dares to kill a member of my Wolf Head Mercenary Group?" Hemon shouted angrily towards the direction from which the corpse came.

"Hehe, if you're aiming for the bounty on my head, be prepared to be killed by me," Lin Feng said with a cold smile as he slowly emerged from the jungle, his voice indifferent.

Seeing Lin Feng gradually revealing himself, Hemon was momentarily stunned by his youthful face.

Immediately, the image of the bounty notice from their mercenary group flashed in his mind.

Instantly, a greedy gleam appeared in his eyes.

When he ventured into the Monster Beast Mountain Range for investigation, he had also visited that cave. Naturally, he was aware that the owner of the cave possessed formidable strength.

He was convinced that whatever remained in that cave was certainly not ordinary; it was highly likely to be profound-level techniques or skills.

Licking his lips, Hemon smirked sinisterly and said, "Kid, as long as you hand over the items you obtained from the cave, I'll let you off. How about it?"

"Hehe, do you take me for a fool? Even if I give you the items, do you think you'll spare me?" Lin Feng smirked, his lips curling upwards in a sardonic smile.

"Boy, since you refused to eat the toast and drank the fine wine, I'll kill you and then take the stuff as well!"

After saying this, a bloodthirsty smile crept across Hemon's lips. He chuckled ominously and stomped his foot forcefully on the ground. 

"Yellow-tier advanced martial technique, Rock Crash!"

The gray-white aura surged around him, then Hemon's skin began to turn gray-white, resembling rock.

Next, like a massive beast, he charged towards Lin Feng.

Seeing Hemon charging, Lin Feng smirked disdainfully. As an eight-star fighter with a Yellow-tier martial technique, Hemon posed no threat to him.

He raised his palm, and the surging aura blew his soft sleeves, making them rustle loudly.

With a loud explosion, Lin Feng's figure quickly disappeared from the original location, rushing towards Hemon.

"Indeed, it's a mysterious-level martial skill!" Watching Lin Feng's movements, Hemon's pupils contracted slightly, then he exclaimed excitedly, "Haha, it seems that the mysterious-level martial skill will ultimately belong to me."

"Boom!" Lin Feng's palm slammed into Hemon's body, the crimson fighting spirit colliding with Hemon's rock-like skin.

"Ugh." Hemon grunted as he felt a force penetrating through his skin and deep into his body at the point of impact.

His internal organs quickly burst under the tremendous pressure, and immediately, blood began to spurt out from the corners of his mouth.

Clearly, Lin Feng's Xuan-level martial arts technique inflicted significant damage on him.

But fortunately, Hermon's physique is quite resilient. Although he knows that if he doesn't control the injuries inside his body, the consequences could be dangerous later on.

But tempted by the allure of high-level martial arts, he temporarily endures it, grinning ominously, "Kid, it seems your martial arts can't break through my defense. Surrender obediently."

"Oh, really? Then I'll increase the intensity now."

Lin Feng smiles, glancing down at the shattered white skin around his palm. Swiftly raising his hand again, he unleashes the Scarlet Fire Palm once more, striking fiercely at Hermon's body.
