Chapter 143: Chapter 143: Young Master Feng, I Know I Was Wrong

Wang Yao saw the black figure turning toward him. Although he could only see half of a face shrouded in a black robe, for Wang Yao, this person was recognizable even if he turned to ash.

"Ah!" Wang Yao sighed softly, his heart filled with too much bitterness these days.

"You used to be quite the figure, how could you end up in such a sorry state?" Shi Feng said, looking at Wang Yao.

You still have the nerve to say that? If it weren’t for you, would I be in this condition now?

Of course, these were words Wang Yao dared not utter in front of this Killing Star. All his helplessness and bitterness had to be swallowed into his belly.

"Young Master Feng, thank you," said Wang Yao to Shi Feng, followed by an involuntary sigh. "Ah." Even if Shi Feng had saved him this time, how could he possibly escape the murderous pursuit of the Lord of Western Wasteland City?

"Why the long face? If I’ve saved you, I’ll see to it that you’re completely rescued. This Lord of Western Wasteland City, I’ll have him replaced," Shi Feng declared.

"Really?" Hearing Shi Feng’s words, Wang Yao’s face lit up with joy. These days, across the Yunlai Empire, the legend of Shi Feng spread far and wide, and Wang Yao had heard of it. This was the man who killed the Four-star Martial Sovereign, Feng Luohan.

From a Second-stage Refiner of Skywind Sect to slaying the Deputy Sect Master, this man was indeed too formidable.

In fact, the Yunlai Empire was still unaware that the Fourth-stage Technique Refining Master Feng Yunxiao of the Skywind Sect was also a victim of Shi Feng’s hand. Otherwise, there would be an even greater uproar throughout the Empire.

"Do you really think I need to lie to someone as insignificant as you?" Shi Feng said to Wang Yao with no hint of courtesy.

"Uh..." Wang Yao responded, now recognizing that compared to this Killing Star, he truly was an insignificant figure.

Shi Feng and Wang Yao were in an area flanked by several pubs and tea houses. The commotion just now had caught the attention of many in these establishments.

"Did you see what happened just now? Those City Guards turned into shriveled corpses, and all their blood surged toward that Black Robed Man." Someone whispered to the person next to them.

"This... If I’m not mistaken, that was the Bloodthirsty Demon Art, which means that person must be... Shi Feng!"

"Shi Feng, Shi Feng, Shi Feng has actually come to our Western Wasteland City!"

"My God! It’s actually Shi Feng! This is the man whose reputation has been the most resounding within our Empire’s borders recently."

"Ah... He really is Shi Feng." The people who had been in the pub with Zhang Han were now wearing an expression of utter shock as they exclaimed. They hadn’t realized that the man sitting just a few tables from them had been the very person they were discussing. And at that time, they had even dared to joke about him.

Especially Zhang Han, who was now awake, unconsciously swallowed when he saw the black-robed figure, feeling a wave of fear just thinking about it. He couldn’t believe that he had referred to this person as "boss" and had been disrespectful to him. Recalling those shriveled corpses, Zhang Han felt his entire body bristle with fear, and a chill ran down his spine.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!" Suddenly, the earth began to tremble violently as dust filled the air at the end of the streets, as if a horde of ten thousand horses were thundering towards them.

"Is that the Black-armored Cavalry of the Lord of Western Wasteland City?" Exclaimed someone upon seeing the horses wrapped in black iron and the cavalrymen atop them, clad in iron armor and helmets. A formidable aura of death rapidly approached.

"Who dares to kill the men of Young City Lord?" The young white-armored junior general on a white unicorn at the forefront of the Black-armored Cavalry bellowed at them.

"That’s Leng Feng, the Young City Lord of Western Wasteland City—a genius, no less. Despite his youth, he has reached the realm of Four-star Martial King. It is said that when enemy troops invaded the Northwest border, Leng Feng alone caused a thousand soldiers to rout in fear," someone commented as they looked at the white-armored junior general.

"So what if he’s a Four-star Martial King? Can he compare to Shi Feng? That evil demon cut down the Four-star Martial Sovereign, Fengg Luohan," another person retorted dismissively after hearing the previous comment.

"That’s true! Leng Feng arrives with fierce momentum, but does he not know that the one who killed these City Guards is Shi Feng?" someone pondered.

"I bet the person reporting to him only got halfway through their report," another guessed.

Indeed, the report was only half-complete. When the City Guards were slain, someone had rushed to inform Leng Feng. Impulsive with rage at the news that his subordinates had been killed, Leng Feng had charged out immediately, mounted his unicorn, and led a hundred of his Black-armored Cavalry in anger towards the scene, leaving the messenger with no chance to provide the full details.

"You fat bastard, it’s you!" Leng Feng yelled upon spotting Wang Yao standing ahead, along with the corpses in black armor lying near him. "You actually had the audacity to hire someone to kill the men of Young City Lord. You’re really asking for death! And you, with your vile appearance, you truly know no bounds. You even dared to kill the men of Young City Lord! I’m going to flay you alive, take your skin home to show your mother, and then I’ll fuck her to death!" Leng Feng’s vicious words instantly ignited a violent explosion of blood-colored flames from Shi Feng.

"Neigh! Neigh! Neigh! Neigh!" As the fiery energy surged wildly, the sound of horses neighing in battle armor filled the air, "This... this power..." Leng Feng realized that even his own Fourth-stage Demon Beast, the white unicorn, was howling in terror, shaking beneath him.

"Who in the world is this man!" Leng Feng’s face paled dramatically as he suddenly understood that he had provoked someone he shouldn’t have. Remembering something, Leng Feng took a closer look at the desiccated bodies before him. "These... these corpses... They’ve been drained by the Bloodthirsty Demon Technique." The name Shi Feng shot through Leng Feng’s mind, his eyes wide with horror.

As Shi Feng, transformed into blood-colored flames, stepped closer, Leng Feng pleaded in terror, "No! Don’t come any closer! Please, Young Master Feng... I realize my mistake! Spare my life! I deserve to die for my insolence... No! I don’t want to die! Spare me, Young Master Feng!"

Despite Leng Feng’s desperate pleas, the blood-colored flames didn’t halt their advance. Leng Feng wanted to run, but the Black-armored Cavalry he had brought with him had already cut off his escape route.

"Charge! Everyone charge and protect Young City Lord!" Leng Feng screamed at the Black-armored Cavalry behind him.

"Everyone, charge at my command!" Yet despite Leng Feng’s repeated shouts, not a single one of the Black-armored Cavalry moved forward. Instead, they retreated as Shi Feng’s reputation was well-known throughout the Yunlai Empire. Just the aura emanating from him was enough to leave them feeling utterly powerless to resist.
