Chapter 528: Chapter 519: Are You Scared of This Young Master So Soon?

"Little Yi is right!" Just then, a robust and forceful shout rang out in the forest.

Immediately following, that voice continued, "Of all the mistakes you could have made, the last one should have been letting your demon beast kill Tai Ke!"

"Ah!" Hearing that voice, the young girl Little Yi was violently startled and quickly turned around to see three figures standing against the trunk of a large tree.

Upon seeing these three figures, Little Yi called out in alarm, "Commander! Uncle Wenn Sheng! Uncle Yue Qing!" The man in the middle, dressed in a green robe with a commanding and resolute face, was none other than the commander of the Tough Mercenary Corps, Gangtian!

Shi Feng recognized that this man’s Martial Arts Cultivation was at the level of a Five-star Martial Venerable.

The middle-aged man standing to his left was the Vice Commander Wenn Sheng, who had led the young members of the Tough Mercenary Corps into the Demon Beast Mountain Range.

The man on Gangtian’s left, with a fair complexion and dressed in plain clothing, appeared somewhat frail, resembling a scholar. This man was another Vice Commander of the Tough Mercenary Corps, Yue Qing, with a Martial Arts Realm even higher by one star than Wenn Sheng, at the Two-star Martial Venerable Realm.

Then, the three figures moved simultaneously, descending into the woods and slowly walking toward the direction of Little Yi and Shi Feng.

"Com...Commander..." Seeing the three men, Little Yi’s face flushed with a color of shame as she faced them.

Having overheard the conversation between Wenn Sheng and the young woman, she had sneaked out to tip Shi Feng off and persuade him to flee the area. For the Tough Mercenary Corps, her actions were tantamount to betrayal, akin to that of a traitor.

"It’s alright, silly girl." Addressing Little Yi’s shame, Gangtian waved his hand and said, "You, girl, have a kind nature. It makes sense that you’d do this."

After finishing his words, Gangtian’s gaze moved past Little Yi and fixed intensely on Shi Feng.

Looking at the three who had appeared, Shi Feng spoke with a cold smile, "What? You’ve come so quickly, already so eager to capture me and claim your glory with the Tai Family?"

Gangtian looked at Shi Feng and after hearing his words, spoke, "I don’t care which family you hail from or where you come from. Even if you were a dragon, right now, my Tough Mercenary Corps is facing the Tai Family, this mighty tiger. For the sake of the hundreds in my Tough Mercenary Corps, today, I must bind you and your White Tiger demon beast and take you to the Tai Family."

As Gangtian spoke, his face was filled with resolute determination, clearly having made up his mind to take Shi Feng to the Tai Family.

"Young brother, you might as well surrender without a struggle to avoid unnecessary physical agony," spoke Wenn Sheng at that moment, trying to persuade Shi Feng. As he spoke, a look of guilt also appeared on Wenn Sheng’s face.

Wenn Sheng was aware of the conversation between Shi Feng and Little Yi. He knew that Shi Feng’s conflict with Tai Ke had started because of their Tough Mercenary Corps, and without Shi Feng, the eleven of them would have certainly faced humiliation at the hands of Tai Ke.

However, their current actions, to take Shi Feng to the Tai Family, were inevitable.

"You all seem quite certain of eating me alive, huh?" Shi Feng said, looking at the few people from the Tough Mercenary Corps with his hands clasped behind his back and a teasing smile curving at his lips as he chuckled.

Looking at Shi Feng, who still seemed unaware of the looming disaster, Gangtian shook his head and uttered, "You scions of great families, so ignorant of the world’s depth, truly frogs at the bottom of a well!"

Gangtian spoke without moving his body, but above Shi Feng, a cyan handprint the size of a bed appeared out of the blue, enveloping both Shi Feng and the White Tiger within it before pressing down, attempting to snatch them both.

Confronting a cyan handprint fueled by Five-star Martial Venerable Power, Shi Feng’s face still bore a light smirking expression, deeming such strength unworthy of his concern.

"You!" Little Yi, standing to the side, saw the cyan handprint the leader had conjured pressing down towards Shi Feng and wore a look filled with panic, helplessness, and guilt.

The young members of the Tough Mercenary Corps were blaming Little Yi; had he not meddled, had he not alerted and invited this person to join them in the Demon Beast Mountain Forest, none of these troubles would have followed.

But Little Yi’s thoughts were the exact opposite of theirs at the moment; had it not been for him, this person would not have joined their group, nor would he have entered the Star Radiance Tavern, nor would all those events have unfolded upon him.

And now, he would not be facing capture by their leader, and subsequently, very likely the severe punishment—execution—by the Tai Family.

This was all because of himself.

Watching the cyan handprint press closer and closer to Shi Feng, Little Yi turned his head away to the other side, unable to bear watching any further, and let out a sigh of helplessness.

As for Shi Feng, watching the cyan handprint press ever closer, he finally made his move. His right hand flexed, and then he flicked a finger upward.

In the next moment, under the astonished gazes of three onlookers, they saw the descending cyan handprint, just as it was about to crush the young man beneath it, dissipate like smoke with the mere flick of his finger, leaving no trace behind.

With the gentle Power of One Finger, he effortlessly shattered the attack of a Five-star Martial Venerable!

"This! This!" Wen Sheng was so shocked he found himself at a loss for words upon witnessing this scene. Was this truly the flick of a finger from a One-star Martial Emperor Realm martial artist? Was this really that same youth who had traveled alongside them? This...

"This!" Not only Wen Sheng, but even the leader Gangtian and Yue Qing, who had stayed silent up till now, both wore expressions of surprise. Gangtian and Yue Qing looked at each other and, for a moment, it seemed as though they realized something.

This young man was playing the pig to eat the tiger!

"Ah! What’s going on?" Little Yi, who had quietly turned her head back around, saw Shi Feng still sitting unharmed atop the White Tiger, and the leader’s cyan handprint was gone. Unaware of what had just occurred, she turned her head towards the leader and the two vice commanders, seeing an expression of surprise on all three faces.

"What happened?" Little Yi asked them again, still full of confusion. She then turned her head around, surveying the forest, and finally realized that aside from the five of them, there was no one else there.

So what exactly happened? What had just taken place?

In the end, Little Yi faced Shi Feng directly, her gaze fixed on him as she asked, "What exactly happened?" The young girl couldn’t help but ask this question.

"It’s nothing," Shi Feng responded indifferently. Subsequently, Little Bai beneath him stirred, carrying Shi Feng toward the trio ahead. As Shi Feng approached, those three, who had been ready to capture him and deliver him to the Tai Family, involuntarily staggered backwards.

Gangtian was very aware that his cyan handprint had been broken by that One Finger, clearly indicating that this young man’s Martial Arts Power was above his own!

"What’s the matter? Just a moment ago, you were playing the instructor, claiming I didn’t know how high the sky was or how deep the earth, calling me a frog in a well, so why are you now so quickly afraid of me?"
