Chapter 14: Wolf Fang Mercenary Corps Group
However, Lin Feng's face did not betray any panic; he just looked at the other party with a playful expression, causing Wang Dako to feel an odd sensation in his heart.
"It seems you really have fallen into the trap. Well, since you've come to me willingly, then I might as well just eliminate you, sparing me the trouble of having to guard against a villain in the shadows."
With a faint smile, Lin Feng revealed how could he not have seen the killing intent Wang Dako had shown when he looked at him before. He had deliberately left his own footprints with the intention of drawing Wang Dako into following him, and now it seemed he had truly taken the bait.
"You did that on purpose?"
Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, Wang Dako was momentarily stunned, but then he burst into loud laughter.
"Ha-ha, at this point, you still play tricks like a god, pretending when death is upon you. Even if we take ten thousand steps back, even if you did lure me here intentionally, what of it? What do you want to do to me? You seem to have forgotten to tell you that I inadvertently broke through to the Martial Apprentice Ninth Layer last night. I know you are only at the Eighth Layer, and I know you're not some greenhorn who hasn't seen the world, but unfortunately for you, this isn't my first time killing someone!"
With those words, Wang Dako revealed a ferocious look, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
However, in his line of sight, Lin Feng's face remained indifferent as he lifted his foot and took steps towards him, daring to advance rather than retreat in the face of his opponent.
This scene made Wang Dako freeze for a moment, and then his eyes shone with a wolf-like glint.
Contempt—that was what it was. Faced with him, a Ninth Layer Martial Apprentice, Lin Feng didn't flee but dared to approach him instead. If this was not contempt, what was it?
"Lin Feng, since you seek death, today you can't blame anyone else!"
Wang Dako took a deep breath and with an angry roar, he put forth all his strength into a punch that smashed forward.
This punch was fierce enough to explode the body of an Eighth Rank Demon Beast. However, in Lin Feng's eyes, the power was mediocre, the speed average, the angle too straightforward—it was nothing more than a child's punch. Moreover, after this punch, his whole body was wide open, completely unguarded, and full of flaws.
Lin Feng shook his head slightly, too lazy to speak any further. He dodged to the side and, with a punch, hit Wang Dako's ribs. In an instant, Wang Dako felt his entire arm go numb, unable to move, his once malicious expression turning into one of fright, and he looked at Lin Feng with a mix of shock and rage in his heart.
"You, you're actually a Ninth Layer Martial Apprentice!!! No, even if you were at the Ninth Layer, you couldn't possibly have dodged my punch just now. How did you do it?"
Wang Dako could not believe it; Lin Feng was also at the Ninth Layer, and he couldn't understand how Lin Feng had dodged his punch just now.
Lin Feng's face remained as cold and indifferent as ever. As a former Demon Dragon Emperor, if he couldn't even dodge such a combat skill-less, casual punch, Lin Feng might as well go bash his head in and die.
"Originally, I didn't want to bother with you all, as I've seen too many people like you and it's nothing new to me anymore. But you don't seem to realize, there can be too many flies, buzzing annoyingly by my ears."
Lin Feng walked towards Wang Dako at an unhurried pace, completely relaxed, with the ease of a light breeze or a passing cloud.
Seeing Lin Feng like this, Wang Dako instinctively took a half step back, his courage shattered by Lin Feng's demeanor.
"You, you can't kill me, I, my older brother is the Deputy Commander of the Wolf Fang Mercenary Corps Group, and he is a bona fide martial master. If you kill me, forget about ever coming back to the Hu Ben Mountains!"
Wang Dako seemed to have thought of something, and quickly blurted out.
"Wolf Fang Mercenary Corps Group?"
Lin Feng said indifferently.
Wang Dako suddenly found his courage, thinking Lin Feng was scared, "It seems you also know about this mercenary corps. That's right, it's just as you're thinking, the largest civilian mercenary corps in the Hu Ben Mountains, the Wolf Fang Mercenary Corps. My older brother is the Deputy Commander, a bona fide martial master. Now that you're a Ninth Layer Martial Apprentice, you should be aware of how formidable a martial master is. If you kneel down for me obediently, and then kowtow to me, this matter can be written off. Who knows, maybe I can even get my older brother to take you on as a lackey, and ensure you live a life of luxury in the future. What do you say?"

As he said this, a proud look appeared on Wang Dako's face. His brother was a martial master, an existence that even ten Ninth Layer Martial Apprentices bound together couldn't contend with.
Although Lin Feng had some skills, he should know that offending a martial master was an utterly foolish act. Lin Feng was a smart man, and any intelligent person would choose to keep the peace at such a time.
"I've never actually heard of the Wolf Fang Mercenary Corps Group, but it looks like being a martial master has given you a lot of confidence."
Lin Feng said with a light smile.
"Of course, you should know that a Martial Apprentice is nothing at all, merely laying the foundation. It is only when one steps into the realm of a martial master that they become a true Martial Artist!"
Wang Dako thought Lin Feng was envious of him and spoke proudly with a look of smug satisfaction on his face.
"But too bad, it doesn't matter if your father were a Martial King, today there's no saving you."
Lin Feng's face wore a playful expression. Wang Dako was momentarily stunned, looking at Lin Feng with confusion, as if he hadn't clearly heard what he had just said. However, in the next instant, Lin Feng charged at him and threw a punch directly at his heart. Wang Dako didn't even have time to react before he spewed a mouthful of Essence Blood and was sent flying five to six meters away. His vitality plummeted to an extreme low, his gaze was panicked, his mouth hung with traces of blood, and his eyes filled with intense disbelief.
"You, you actually dare, dare to kill me..."
Lin Feng paid him no heed; with a punch, his heart was shattered. Though technically it could be healed, naturally, there were no such treasures here that could do so. Effectively, Wang Dako was a dead man. Lin Feng couldn't be bothered to waste his breath on him and simply sat down cross-legged, continuing to absorb Soul to increase his own strength.
Wang Dako's eyes were filled with fear, anger, and even more so, unwillingness. He couldn't understand why Lin Feng, just a Martial Apprentice, still dared to kill him after he had revealed his status. With these doubts in mind, his head tilted, and he died.
...
Three hours later.
The sky gradually darkened.
In front of the cave, Ma Han, Lu Keke, and the others had been waiting for half a day. They waited and waited, but apart from Lin Feng and Wang Dako, everyone else had already gathered there before sunset, as agreed upon earlier.
"Brother Ma Han, Wang Dako and young brother Lin Feng wouldn't have gotten into trouble, would they?" Wang Wei asked with concern.
