Chapter 529: Chapter 520: The Fearless Man!

"You! Who exactly are you?" Gangtian looked at Shi Feng, his face filled with solemnity and vigilance as he asked in a deep voice.

"I am someone that even if I told you, you wouldn’t recognize!" Shi Feng replied, his white tiger still steadily approaching the three men without stopping.

Immediately after, the three men from the Tough Mercenary Corps, made a move, preparing to flee the area. However, just then, a giant bone-white handprint appeared above them, enveloping the three in its grasp.

The bone-white handprint emitted a mysterious and chilling aura.

Following closely, Shi Feng’s body suddenly burst forth with wild, blood-colored flames. The fiery flames burned from Shi Feng’s body towards the ground, and quickly, the blood-colored blaze enveloped the three men in a large circle, trapping them within a ring of Blood Flame.

Above them a bone-white handprint, surrounded by a large circle of blood-colored flames, completely cut off the three men’s escape, trapping the three from the Tough Mercenary Corps as if they were in a prison cell.

"This! This flame! This is the same flame that burned Tai Ke to death!" Wen Sheng exclaimed from within the circle of flames.

Hearing Wen Sheng’s words, Gangtian looked up at the hovering bone-white Big Palm Print, and from that handprint, as well as the encircling blood-colored flames, Gangtian already sensed an insurmountable power!

Next, Gangtian shifted his gaze from above and looked through the blood-colored flames in front of him, staring at Shi Feng outside the blaze, and demanded, "You! What exactly do you want?"

"Heavens! He actually, the Commander, Uncle Wen Sheng, Uncle Yue Qing..." The young girl Little Yi, seeing the sudden change, only then realized why the commanding officer and Vice Commander had shown such shocked expressions earlier.

He actually trapped the Five-star Martial Venerable Commander, the Two-star Martial Venerable Uncle Yue Qing, and the One-star Martial Venerable Uncle Wen Sheng, within the flames.

Furthermore, Little Yi felt the power emitting from the giant bone-white handprint above the three men, a force she knew she couldn’t withstand. Confronted with that handprint, a sense of helplessness rose within her; it was a power that even compared to the Commander’s, felt much stronger, much too strong.

This, this is really the power unleashed by a One-star Martial King Realm Martial Artist?

Clearly, the answer was no!

He had been hiding his true strength all along! And here she was, worried about him moments ago.

Thinking of this, the girl hastily questioned Shi Feng, "You! You’re so powerful, yet you’ve been pretending to be a weak One-star Martial King Realm fighter all this time!"

"Pretending to be weak?" Hearing Little Yi’s question, Shi Feng turned his head, faced her, and countered, "Have I been pretending to be weak? It’s simply because your strength is insufficient that you cannot see through my true power."

"This... this..." After hearing Shi Feng’s words, the girl was momentarily at a loss for words. Listening to him, it seemed indeed true, he hadn’t actually pretended to be weak in front of them.

It was just that they lacked the strength to see through his real power; he had been arrogant and powerful from the start of their encounter, never having shown the appearance of being weak.

Immediately after, the girl quickly spoke up again, pleading with Shi Feng, "I beg you, please don’t hurt the Commander, don’t hurt Uncle Wen Sheng and Uncle Yue Qing."

"You want me not to harm them?" Hearing the girl’s plea, Shi Feng’s lips once again curled into a cold smirk as he said:

"I, the young master, have always looked down on your so-called ’strong’ Mercenary Group," he declared with disdain. "Those ants who offended me, I never took seriously. I even eliminated that man surnamed Tai for you, sparing you from his insults.

"When you all left, I said that I would take responsibility for slaying that man surnamed Tai. Let the Tai Family come to me instead. Yet, these people, they ultimately decided to set their sights on capturing me, wanting to present me to the Tai Family to earn favor!"

"But we... we didn’t know you were so powerful!" the young girl replied.

Upon hearing Little Yi’s words, Shi Feng’s smile widened as he said, "Didn’t know I was this formidable? And yet intended to capture me? If I were truly just a One-star Martial King Realm martial artist, and they captured me and handed me over to the Tai Family, then my ensuing fate, even death, would perhaps be a mercy."

"I... I didn’t mean that," Little Yi hurriedly explained. "I... What I meant was..."

Face to face with Shi Feng, the girl felt powerless to argue, not knowing what to say; it seemed like he always made sense. If he had really been just at the One-star Martial King Realm, their leader and the others capturing him to hand over to the Tai Family for killing Tai Ke—surely the Tai Family would not let him off lightly.

Then, the girl heard Shi Feng speak again, saying, "For your sake, I can spare these three men’s lives."

"You mean it!" Upon hearing Shi Feng would spare the three leaders, Little Yi’s eyes brightened, her entire being felt lighter, and she spoke with some delight.

"When I say I will not kill, then I will not kill! My word is my bond. However..." Shi Feng’s voice trailed off at this point.

Little Yi listened intently to what Shi Feng was about to say next, but Shi Feng suddenly stopped speaking, especially at the word "however," causing a look of anxiousness to appear on the girl’s face. She asked, "However what?"

Vaguely, the young girl felt a bad premonition rising in her heart.

Continuing, Shi Feng said, "These three have offended me, and naturally they must kneel and apologize to me. Let them kneel right here until dawn tomorrow, and I shall have Little Bai oversee them."

"Roar! Roar!" Little Bai, upon hearing Shi Feng’s words, roared twice towards the Blood-colored Blaze in front of him.

Following that, Shi Feng also looked at the three men surrounded by the ring of Blood-colored Flame with a cold expression and said, "If they dare to get up before dawn tomorrow, then I will annihilate every last one of your Mercenary Group."

No sooner had Shi Feng finished speaking than Little Yi hurriedly said, "You! How could you do this?"

"Absolutely not!" At this moment, a robust voice rose from within the blood-colored fire ring, "A warrior can be killed but not humiliated! It would be better to kill me than to force me to kneel!"

"Leader... Leader!" Hearing Gangtian’s words, Little Yi looked towards him with a worried expression. Knowing her leader’s personality, asking such a resolute man to kneel was surely more painful than death.

Gangtian’s companions, Wenn Sheng and Yue Qing, looked like they wanted to speak but stopped themselves. Finally, after glancing at Gangtian who stood in the middle, they remained silent.

"Very well, then you may all go to your deaths!" Hearing Gangtian’s words, Shi Feng replied indifferently, making it sound as if letting them die was of no more significance than killing an ant.

Following that, Shi Feng’s thoughts shifted, and the hovering white Handprint above the Tough Mercenary Corps trembled slightly.

"Wait! Just wait!" Just as the white Handprint started to move, a robust voice quickly sounded again from within the blood-colored fire ring, and once more, it was Gangtian who spoke.

"Oh?" Shi Feng lightly uttered, "oh." The slightly trembling white Handprint then abruptly paused and remained still.
