Xu Feng followed the path given by Xufeng and arrived at the foot of a mountain outside the city called Moon Bay. One side of the mountain rose up, resembling a half-moon that had been cut off.
Xufeng did not follow him; in his current state, he would not only be unable to help but would also become a burden. Raising funds was no longer feasible. Since Xu Feng took the initiative, he must have had his reasons, so they might as well treat this dead horse as a live one. Xufeng couldn't help but recall the image of Xu Feng drawing a bow to shoot an eagle.
Faint flickers of firelight were visible in front of the mountain. Jian Zui Ge dragged over a stool and leisurely sat on it, whistling. No matter how one looked at it, he did not resemble a cultivator; he was no different from a thug on the street.
On the ground beside Jian Zui Ge, Wang Yuexin, Yan Gao, and Yan Xing were leaning against each other, unbound but looking listless and dispirited.
This time, Xu Feng had put on some makeup. When he came out, Xufeng had given him a complete set of black clothes and a Disguise Pill.
When Xu Feng appeared before Jian Zui Ge, Jian Zui Ge saw a middle-aged man in black clothing. True to his streetwise nature, upon seeing this appearance, he said, "Friend, you must be here to deliver spirit stones, right? Oh, look at your outfit; are you here to rob someone?" He remained seated on the stool, seemingly confident that Xu Feng wouldn't dare to act against him.
Xu Feng did not respond; instead, he honestly reached into his storage bag and fumbled around. After a while, he pulled out a large Brick and helplessly said, "If you want spirit stones, take a look at how much this Brick is worth." He tossed the Brick over.
Jian Zui Ge was taken aback. He had assumed that Xu Feng, being at the Qi Refinement First Layer level, was no match for him. He never expected this foolhardy person to dare attack him with something called a "Brick." Could it be that this Brick was a Celestial Artifact?
Jian Zui Ge rolled aside in panic to avoid Xu Feng's Brick and drew out a Wolf Fang Club with malice in his eyes as he lunged forward. He wanted to teach this audacious rookie a lesson about the consequences of ruining Jian Zui Ge's reputation.
Xu Feng missed with his Brick but drew out his heavy sword to meet Jian Zui Ge's attack. The two exchanged blows back and forth. With only Qi Refinement First Layer strength but enhanced by Arrow Meridian's boost equivalent to that of Qi Refinement Second Layer and his mastery of the Spirit Serpent Sword Technique, Xu Feng's power increased further.
In the initial exchanges, Xu Feng found himself overwhelmed and struggling. However, as he became more adept with his sword techniques, he gradually turned the tide but still fell short of victory.
Wang Yuexin and the others were relatively familiar with Xu Feng. Although they had taken Disguise Pills, they could still recognize him and knew that with only Qi Refinement First Layer strength, he could not save them. Watching him fight valiantly against Jian Zui Ge moved them deeply.
While the two fought fiercely, five others hiding behind the mountain could no longer contain themselves and stepped out to watch the fight unfold, pointing fingers and commenting on what they saw.
Seeing his companions emerge made Jian Zui Ge furious; being challenged by someone at Qi Refinement First Layer already angered him enough. Now that he had been fighting for so long without gaining an advantage, he felt even more humiliated. He shouted loudly and unleashed fierce attacks in an attempt to quickly subdue Xu Feng.
Realizing that all six opponents had gathered, Xu Feng dared not continue fighting; he began to retreat while still engaged in combat. As he retreated further away, he started running and called back over his shoulder, "Damn it! There are too many of them; I can't win."
The five onlookers saw Xu Feng trying to escape and immediately leaped forward; Jian Zui Ge charged ahead of them all.
Xu Feng's speed was still lacking compared to cultivators at Qi Refining Third Layer. After running less than fifty meters, the six pursuers were already closing in behind him. Just as they prepared to surround him from different directions, Xu Feng suddenly turned around. A flash of golden light appeared in his hand as six faint red star lights shot out simultaneously.
A cold laugh echoed in the hearts of the six; they thought they could ambush him with such a small movement? But soon, their laughter faded. What should have been easily dodged turned out to be unavoidable, and what could have been easily deflected missed its target. One fool even reached out to catch it...
Suddenly, five voices rang out simultaneously, and all five fell to the ground, struck by arrows. Among them, Jian Zui Ge suffered the worst. In an attempt to show off his superior skills, he reached out to catch an arrow, only for it to pierce through his palm and into his chest, exiting through his back.
Three of the five died on the spot, while two were gravely injured; they would likely roll around and howl for a few moments before succumbing as well.
The remaining freckled cultivator stood frozen in place, beads of cold sweat rolling down his forehead and dripping onto the ground, almost making a sound—perhaps it did, but no one heard it. He had just deflected an incoming arrow with his sword, but it had only moved a few centimeters away; the arrow grazed under his armpit, leaving a charred mark on his robe.
Between the clash of sword and arrow, a strange heat coursed through him. Fortunately, with his Fourth Layer of Qi Refinement cultivation level, he quickly suppressed it with spiritual energy to avoid internal injury.
The Freckled Man had narrowly escaped death. With his skills, he could have tried to close in for a fight, but even if given a hundred more chances, he wouldn't dare take a step forward now.
Suddenly, the Freckled Man darted backward at full speed. He rushed back to Wang Yuexin and her companions, knowing that controlling these three would give him a chance to escape. As long as he returned to Qinghua Gang and summoned powerful allies from within, he would be safe.
While running, the Freckled Man glanced back. His years of combat experience told him not to turn his back on the enemy while fleeing. As he took off, he saw Xu Feng raising a light golden short bow.
The Freckled Man reached Wang Yuexin's group but had no time for any other actions. He saw Xu Feng's hand relax; a beam of light shot toward him faster than the previous arrow.
The Freckled Man barely managed to move his sword into position when the arrow collided with it. This time, it was his sword that was deflected. The force behind this arrow was entirely different from the last—unstoppable and fierce.
As pain shot through him, the arrow had already pierced through his body and disappeared into the distance.
"Am I going to die?" This was the last question that crossed the Freckled Man's mind before he closed his eyes and never opened them again. His life had passed in an instant.
It was completely dark when Xu Feng approached in all black attire, his eyes glinting. Wang Yuexin and her companions stared at him in confusion as if seeing a complete stranger.
"Xu... Senior," Wang Yuexin stammered. According to Modern Clerk's rules, if someone’s strength far exceeded yours, you had to address them as 'senior' rather than 'fellow cultivator.'
"Uh..." Xu Feng was taken aback by this unexpected title. "What senior? It was just luck. Are you all alright?"
Only then did the three stand up. Yan Gao said, "We're fine; our spiritual energy has been sealed but will naturally unbind after two hours. Thank you very much, Xu... Brother." Xu Feng's display of strength had relieved their pressure significantly.
Xu Feng originally only had the strength of Qi Refinement First Layer, ranking last among the five of them. Although he had a stunning shot during the battle with Wan Jian Sect, it was merely a surprise attack and lacked real impact. However, in tonight's battle, Xu Feng single-handedly eliminated six cultivators who were two levels higher than him, leaving no room for doubt.
If you don't believe it, come and try. I'll give you a bow; see how you do.
"We need to leave here quickly." After saying this, Xu Feng resumed his usual business—killing for money and burying the bodies.
The three of them couldn't use their spiritual power, but they could still handle physical tasks. Together, they dragged the six corpses to one spot and removed their storage bags. Just as Xu Feng was about to dig a pit, he saw Yan Xing take out a vial of potion and pour it over the bodies. Instantly, the corpses began to decay and dissolve, eventually turning into a pool of yellow liquid that quickly seeped into the ground.
Xu Feng was delighted and hurriedly asked Yan Xing where he got the potion.
Seeing Xu Feng's interest, Yan Xing handed him the remaining vial and said, "This is Corpse Dissolving Water; it's quite common and can be bought at the Fairy Market for cheap."
Xu Feng accepted it without hesitation. According to his "work procedure," this vial of Corpse Dissolving Water would be very useful—it was an essential tool for killing, looting, and disposing of bodies.
Most of the arrows he shot were embedded in the ground, but Xu Feng had no intention of digging them out. The four of them quickly cleaned up the scene once more and then slipped back to their residence under the cover of darkness.
