Chapter 98: Chapter 98: One Hundred Thousand!
They definitely wanted more than just to snatch his Storage Bag!
Their real aim was to kill Yu Wen Tuo!!
"Fine! I’ll hand it over right now!"
Several people immediately started frantically searching for Yu Wen Tuo’s Storage Ring, but since they had never seen such advanced items before, none of them knew how to use it, which nearly made Yu Wen Tuo so angry that he almost passed out.
"It’s too late."
And right at this moment, a cold voice suddenly descended upon them. Yu Wen Tuo’s body shook violently as he looked up and saw Lin Feng’s pair of indifferent eyes. He immediately yelled, "Everyone, attack him! Whoever stops him, I’ll reward with a hundred thousand Gold Pearls!!"
A hundred thousand!
A full hundred thousand Gold Pearls!
This made everyone’s heart skip a beat. Although they knew Lin Feng was too strong, strong enough that even the Seventh Prince himself was no match, but what did that matter.
They didn’t need to kill Lin Feng; all they had to do was to hold off Lin Feng, giving Yu Wen Tuo the chance to recover.
With a mutual look, they all clenched their teeth and charged forward together.
"The Seventh Prince is the progeny of the Hu Ben King, a royal Disciple; what do you think you’re doing?"
"That’s right, if you leave now, we can spare your life!"
"Don’t make a mistake!"
The several people wore expressions of solemnity and even terror as they stared at Lin Feng with false bravado.
Lin Feng sneered in disdain and dispatched them with a single move of the Wind Fire Heavenly Tribulation Seal. The three were just martial masters of the Fifth Layer, Sixth Grade Stars; even together, they were no match for a single move from Lin Feng.
At this time, Yu Wen Tuo was frantically pulling out something. Lin Feng knew he was trying to call for help. Without wasting words, he charged right at Yu Wen Tuo.
Bang!
Just at that moment, a dark shadow slammed into him from the side, knocking Lin Feng aside. Turning his head, Lin Feng saw Huang Tie, who at some point rushed to Yu Wen Tuo’s side gasping for breath.
"No, you must not harm the prince, the prince promised me, he would give me and the people in my village meat to eat!"
Huang Tie had already exhausted his strength in the previous battle and was now just shooting his last arrow.
Lin Feng frowned. Huang Tie wasn’t inherently bad, but there was no choice. Since the other was courting death, he couldn’t care too much and had to make a deadly move.
Even so, Huang Tie’s reckless courage delayed Lin Feng just long enough to give Yu Wen Tuo a chance.
In an instant, several powerful auras burst forth from the distant woods, startling myriad birds and beasts. At the same time, a protective shield appeared over Yu Wen Tuo’s body. He breathed a sigh of relief and laughed loudly, "Kid, I freaking remember you now, if you have the guts, come and kill me!"
Seeing this, Lin Feng knew the odds had turned against him. He quickly plundered the Storage Bags from the corpses and fled swiftly. In the next moment, several old men appeared by Yu Wen Tuo’s side. Seeing his state, their expressions changed: "Your Highness, what happened?"
...
Run!
A mad dash for escape!
Earth Martial Master, without a doubt, that was definitely the rank of an Earth Martial Master!
If it had been before, not to mention an Earth Martial Master, even a Heavenly Martial Master would’ve been slapped to death by him. But now, he could say for certain that an Earth Martial Master could kill him with a slap!
"I knew from the start that killing Yu Wen Tuo wouldn’t be so easy!"
Lin Feng had prepared for the worst from the beginning, but he didn’t regret his actions, as he was only a hair away from success.
"Forget it, the urgent priority now is to think of a way to face future recriminations from Yu Wen Tuo and even the Divine Wind Camp."
Lin Feng glanced behind him. The several Earth Martial Masters had surprisingly not followed, causing him some confusion, but he soon figured it out.
Scared of death, Yu Wen Tuo was terrified of it. He surely thought that Lin Feng was an assassin trained by some organization and that there might still be other assassins hidden nearby, waiting to draw the tiger out of the mountain.
"The pressing matter seems to be finding shelter. The Divine Wind Camp is neither big nor small, but it does have a few folks with decent strength. They’re no match for the Iron Spear Divine Marquis, but they are not to be trifled with either. The Iron Spear Divine Marquis would naturally be the perfect choice, but as far as I recall, that old man always appears and vanishes mysteriously. It would take quite some luck to find him."
Lin Feng knew that once the assessment was over and he left these mountains, or in other words, the next time he met Yu Wen Tuo, that would be Lin Feng’s death sentence.
Yu Wen Tuo was the type to hold grudges. Having been humiliated by Lin Feng, he would certainly seek to kill Lin Feng in revenge.
If it were someone else, they would probably be restless by now, but Lin Feng was not particularly anxious. If he were afraid, he wouldn’t have taken action in the first place and would have become Yu Wen Tuo’s lackey like the others. This situation was not insoluble, and the solution was simple: find a powerful enough patron to rely on.
...
"Seventh Prince, why didn’t you let us chase that kid? I saw he is just a mere martial master. Otherwise, I’m certain we would be presenting you his head by now!!"
Several Earth Martial Masters were puzzled. They had all protected Yu Wen Tuo since he was young and hence had considerable influence. Yu Wen Tuo didn’t dare to disrespect them too much and waved his hand, "Although this is our Royal Hunting Garden, after all, it’s the Divine Wind Camp’s assessment. The Iron Spear Divine Marquis is my Imperial Uncle, allowing you to enter was already bending the rules. If you, a few Earth Martial Masters, kill a student here during the assessment, it would make things difficult for my uncle."
Yu Wen Tuo had already recovered quite a bit after taking several Royal exclusive elixirs.
"I see, the Seventh Prince is indeed thorough in his considerations and meticulous in his thoughts." The Earth Martial Masters nodded, finding some reason in his words.
"Furthermore, I fear that this fellow may have accomplices," Yu Wen Tuo added coldly.
"Accomplices? Does the prince mean to say that he’s from an assassin organization?" The other Earth Martial Masters immediately looked around. The wind blew through the trees, and all was silent.
"Hmph, what else could it be? The kid is so young, and since I don’t recognize him, why would he attack me? If he isn’t from an assassin organization, then he’s part of a mob!"
Yu Wen Tuo grew more and more angry as he thought about it. He was the Seventh Prince of Hu Ben Country, humiliated by a nobody; besides, all his subordinates were dead, with only a few small teams out scavenging Demon Cores left.
"Hmph, once out of this Hunting Garden, it will be your death! But for now, I won’t let you have it easy!"
Yu Wen Tuo clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and immediately shot a signal arrow into the sky.
