104: Chapter 104 If you don't court death, you won't die.

Lin Feng walked forward along the bluestone street.

Soon, he reached the end of the long street.

He turned a corner and quickly took a shortcut, heading towards Number 96, Qingyun Alley.

As he passed that familiar bridge tunnel, Lin Feng's footsteps paused slightly.

However, he quickly returned to normal and continued walking forward.

After walking for a while, Lin Feng stopped!

This was an abandoned junkyard.

In the surrounding wilderness, countless piles of trash rose like mountains!

Waves of a rank, foul stench wafted toward him.

Because of this, few people usually came here.

It was the perfect place for murder and body disposal!

“You two, how much longer are you going to follow me?” Lin Feng suddenly turned around and asked with a cold smile.

Swish, swish...

Just as he finished speaking, two familiar figures quickly rushed out from behind a low hill in the distance.

They accelerated and arrived before him in the blink of an eye!

It was Senior Brother Niu Ben and Third Senior Brother Lu Fan.

“Hehe, I didn't expect to be discovered by you so quickly!” Niu Ben gave a fake smile as he slowly stepped forward.

With every step he took, the Killing Intent on his body grew a fraction stronger.

“What are you following me for?” Lin Feng asked loudly.

“Haha, for what? To send you on your way, of course!” Niu Ben laughed, throwing his head back!

As he spoke, he quickly pulled a longsword from his Storage Pouch.

Seeing this, Lu Fan also drew his longsword with a swish, ready to strike.

“I believe I have no grievances with you; why do you want to kill me?” Lin Feng asked again.

“Hmph, you only have yourself to blame for being ungrateful and not siding with me!” Niu Ben said coldly. “Originally, I only wanted to find an opportunity to cripple you, but now, you've added another crime: you shouldn't have coveted things that don't belong to you.”

“So, I must die today?” Lin Feng said with a cold laugh.

“Of course!” Niu Ben placed his right hand on the sword hilt, secretly gathering strength and wearing a cruel smile. “If you don't want to die too painfully, then surrender obediently and let us slaughter you. That way, perhaps we can leave your corpse intact!”

“Exactly!” Lu Fan echoed loudly from the side. “With your strength, you're no match for us at all. Stop making futile struggles!”

“But I want to try!” Lin Feng smiled faintly and took out the spirit-slaying sword from his Storage Pouch.

“Wha... what? Master even gave his most beloved spirit-slaying sword to you?” Niu Ben's expression changed drastically upon seeing this.

In his wide-eyed gaze, envy, jealousy, and hatred were practically overflowing.

As far as he knew, this spirit-slaying sword was Master Su Tongtian's most cherished treasure!

On normal days when there was nothing to do, he would take it out and wipe it several times.

The last time Niu Ben wanted to touch it, Su Tongtian had unhappily refused.

He never expected that he would now give this sword to a piece of trash like Lin Feng.

“Haha, what? Are you envious?” Lin Feng laughed coldly!

“Hmph, don't get ahead of yourself. Once you're dead, this spirit-slaying sword will be mine!” After Niu Ben finished speaking, he suddenly drew his longsword and shouted, “Lu Fan, move!”

“Yes, Senior Brother!” Hearing this, Lu Fan also drew his longsword with a clang.

Following behind Niu Ben, he rushed toward Lin Feng like a bolt of lightning!

“Seeking your own death!” Seeing this, Lin Feng gave a disdainful smile!

After speaking, his face remained expressionless as he continued to stand calmly on the spot, unmoving!

“Haha, this Lin Feng really is trash. Facing the two of us, he doesn't even have the courage to strike!” Niu Ben laughed triumphantly!

He thought Lin Feng was paralyzed with fear.

As the words left his mouth, Niu Ben had already rapidly closed the distance!

Holding his longsword high, he followed a specific trajectory and thrust the sword ruthlessly toward Lin Feng's heart.

This strike was both fast and vicious.

It was the first style of the 'Ji Dao Nine Forms', Heart-Piercing Sword!

As the longsword thrust forward, a faint sword light burst from the tip, heading straight for Lin Feng's heart.

Swish...

Just as the sword light was about to hit his body.

Lin Feng moved!

With a 'whoosh', his body blurred, narrowly avoiding that sword light by a hair's breadth.

Immediately after, his right hand, which was resting on the hilt, suddenly exerted force.

Clang!

The longsword left its scabbard.

It was like a flash of a startled swan.

World-Destroying Sword Art—Draw-Sword Slash!

Crack!

“Ugh... ah...”

In the next moment, Niu Ben, who had brushed past Lin Feng, saw his forward momentum come to a sudden halt.

A large head soared into the sky.

A rain of blood sprayed in all directions, swirling through the air.

With a thud!

Niu Ben's headless corpse crashed heavily to the ground.

At the neck, the cut was as smooth as a mirror, and blood gushed out desperately as if it cost nothing.

“Ah? Se... Senior Brother just died like that?” Lu Fan, who was about to strike with his sword, saw this scene and his forward momentum froze.

His eyes suddenly bulged, filled with intense horror and disbelief!

He had thought that with Senior Brother Niu Ben personally taking action, killing Lin Feng would be as easy as reaching for something in one's pocket!

He only needed to put on a show in the back and add a random sword strike.

That way, he could also express his loyalty to Niu Ben.

He never expected that things would take a three-hundred-and-sixty-degree reversal.

The scene he had imagined, of Lin Feng being pierced through the heart by Niu Ben's sword, did not happen.

Instead, Niu Ben, who was incredibly powerful in his mind, was directly decapitated by Lin Feng's sword.

“Now, it's your turn!” Lin Feng said expressionlessly, flicking the blade with his finger.

The crimson blood immediately slid down the blade, dripping onto the ground with a pitter-patter.

Clap!

Hearing this, Lu Fan quickly snapped out of his shock, and the longsword in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter.

Then, his knees buckled, and he nimbly knelt before Lin Feng, kowtowing repeatedly.

Thud, thud, thud...

“Junior Brother Lin, spare my life, spare my life! I was wrong. I shouldn't have helped that villain and teamed up with Niu Ben against you. Please, show mercy and let me go like a passing fart!”

Lu Fan said as he kowtowed frantically!

He didn't even notice that his forehead was split open and blood was flowing freely.

It was truly because Lin Feng's previous sword strike was too stunning; it had completely terrified him.

And it had left an indelible and severe psychological shadow in his heart.

Lin Feng's strike was not only fast and ruthless, but it also possessed a terrifying charm!

It was like a celestial being descending from the heavens, leaving no trace to follow.

Lu Fan knew that if he faced that sword, he would surely meet a grim end.

There was no doubt that Lin Feng must have received the true teachings of Master Su Tongtian and learned the 'World-Destroying Sword Art' that no one else could master.

Facing such a terrifying opponent, how could he possibly fight?

“I don't think you've learned to be afraid; you've just realized you're about to die!”

After Lin Feng finished speaking, he lightly swung the blood-stained longsword in his hand!

“Ah!” Lu Fan's body suddenly stiffened, and he hurriedly raised his hands to cover his throat!

But soon, streams of dripping blood still rapidly sprayed out from between his fingers.

“You... you...” The light in Lu Fan's eyes gradually dimmed, and finally, his head slumped as he fell to the ground with a thud.

Blood gushed from the wound on his throat, instantly staining the ground red.

Two kills!

Lin Feng lightly flicked the blade with his finger.

After causing all the blood on the blade to fall to the ground, he finally put away the spirit-slaying sword.

Then, he began looting the bodies with practiced ease.

He obtained a Storage Pouch from each of them and put them away casually.

Then, with two kicks, he sent the corpses of Niu Ben and Lu Fan into the nearby trash heap.

He took out a fire-starting tool from his Storage Pouch.

With a casual toss, the trash heap in front of him immediately began to burn fiercely.

Soon, it completely engulfed the two corpses.

Having done all this, Lin Feng drifted away...

...

Not long after Lin Feng left!

A man in black robes suddenly came racing from the direction of the distant bridge tunnel.

This person was none other than the envoy from the Demon Corpse Sect—Envoy Lu Fei.

“Striking cleanly and decisively, killing two people easily with just two sword strikes... is this really something a Core Condensation Realm Early Stage Cultivator can do?” Looking at the corpses being consumed by the flames ahead, Envoy Lu Fei murmured in a low voice.

“It seems that fellow Chu Xingchen isn't that reliable after all; I'll have to take action personally!”
