140: Send a favor, refuse

Figures quietly appeared all around.

“You…”

Kishimoto Suzuki looked around, realizing his side had been ambushed.

“Hand over your awakening fruits, and I’ll let you go.” Li Feng reiterated, not giving Kishimoto Suzuki a chance to speak.

If the other party was sensible, he would spare them.

The Awakening Land was vast, and it was impossible for him alone to explore it completely within seven days.

Letting these few people go, perhaps there would be another surprise when they met next time.

Even if they never met again, it would be no loss to him.

Of course, all of this was predicated on the three of them being sensible.

“Didn’t your elders tell you that in the world of Lords, you should show basic respect to your seniors? You’re courting death!” Kishimoto Suzuki said coldly.

“So much nonsense. It seems you don’t intend to cooperate. In that case, I can only send you off the stage.”

As soon as he finished speaking, colorful arrows flew out, raining down on the three Sakura Country individuals in an overwhelming deluge.

At the same time, Starry Sky Rippers were dispatched.

They flapped their wings, gracefully weaving through the arrow rain, approaching the three individuals’ Troops simultaneously with the arrows.

Marais and her two companions were startled.

They hadn't expected this Dragon Country Lord, who looked like a gentle person, to have such a fiery temper, resorting to action at the slightest disagreement.

They immediately wanted to give orders to help Li Feng.

There was no escaping this time, but even if they died, they wouldn't let these three Sakura Country people have an easy time.

But the next moment, the three of them were stunned, frozen in place.

The three Sakura Country Lords who had been relentlessly pursuing them were now in a more pathetic state than the last.

They roared continuously, commanding their Troops to counterattack.

But it was all in vain.

In the sky full of arrows, Kishimoto Suzuki and his two companions’ Troops were like leeks.

They were harvested wave after wave, their struggles appearing so weak, pitiful, and helpless.

They also organized several counter-charges, attempting to approach Li Feng.

But as soon as they organized their ranks, they were immediately suppressed by firepower and then forcefully cut through.

“I’m willing to hand over the awakening fruit!”

Seeing the number of Troops dwindling, Kishimoto Suzuki finally gave in.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

The remaining Troops of the three of them were already less than one-third.

In this situation, even if they were let go, they might not gain much.

“Kid, I’ve already sent out the message. My companions will avenge me, and you’ll be kicked out of the instance! I swear!”

Seeing his Troops being slaughtered, Kishimoto Suzuki let out a mad roar.

Pfft!

Just then, a cold flash of a blade cut across his neck, severing his entire head.

“The wailing of a defeated dog.” Li Feng curled his lips, full of disdain.

He didn't know where Kishimoto Suzuki’s confidence came from, but he feared no peer.

Even that genius from the Red God Clan from the Middle World, he didn't care about.

As for the geniuses of Sakura Country.

Never mind that Miyamoto Kota, ranked second on the Prodigy List, hadn't come.

Even if he had, Li Feng was confident he could sweep through him.

Soon, the bodies of Kishimoto Suzuki and his two companions disappeared, leaving behind only 11 golden glowing awakening fruits.

On Li Feng’s shoulder, Speite’s eyes gleamed with silver light.

The next moment, as if an invisible hand gathered these awakening fruits, bringing them all before Li Feng.

“It seems this time’s Awakening Land is also a great harvest. It’s only the first day, and I’ve already seen about 50 awakening fruits.”

After collecting all the awakening fruits from Kishimoto Suzuki and his two companions, Li Feng nodded with satisfaction.

“Friend, my name is Marais, and these two are Galkar and Kundi. I haven't had the pleasure of knowing your name.”

Marais and her two companions approached Li Feng, eagerly introducing themselves.

Seeing Li Feng’s performance just now, they became even more certain.

Li Feng was definitely a rising star highly valued by the Dragon Country’s higher-ups.

To easily defeat three veteran Lords who had been active on the Endless Continent for many years, all by himself, was truly terrifying.

They had been right beside Li Feng and had seen everything clearly.

Throughout the entire process, Li Feng’s Troops suffered no losses.

This indicated that Kishimoto Suzuki and his two companions were simply unable to make Li Feng unleash his full power.

As soon as they thought of this, the three of them couldn't help but feel excited.

If they could befriend a genius like Li Feng, it would certainly bring endless benefits to their country in the future.

“Li Feng.” Li Feng nodded, his attitude neither good nor bad.

For three people he had only known for a few minutes, and who were much weaker than him, he naturally didn't need to greet them with a smile.

Marais gritted her teeth and took out all her day’s harvest, a total of 32 awakening fruits.

“Li Feng, thank you for saving the three of us. These are all the awakening fruits obtained when our two companions were eliminated, and I’m giving them all to you.”

“Marais, no, this won’t do! At most, half!” Hearing this, Marais’s two companions turned pale with shock and quickly spoke to stop Marais.

“Shut up! My mind is made up. If Li Feng hadn’t intervened, the three of us would have already been eliminated. These awakening fruits should rightfully be Li Feng’s spoils of war.”

Marais scolded, and she clearly commanded considerable authority, as the other two promptly fell silent.

Li Feng looked deeply at Marais.

He wasn't some naive kid. Hearing Marais emphasize that her two companions were eliminated, he knew this was an attempt to get closer to him and do him a favor.

“No, according to our agreement, I can only accept half the reward at most. I’ll gladly take these 16 awakening fruits, and you can keep the rest.”

Li Feng wasn't one to accept all favors indiscriminately. He decisively rejected Marais, only taking his due reward.

“If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t even have kept 1 awakening fruit and would have been eliminated. So all these fruits should be yours.” Marais still wanted to insist.

But Li Feng righteously refused, and in Marais’s disappointed gaze, he turned and left…
