Chapter 106: Strong Comeback (Part Four)
Zhang Feng was having a terrible time. Ever since Ye Huan participated in the Trial Assembly and a series of incidents occurred, he had nearly been stripped of his position as the Lord of Beiyuan City by Zhao Wujie. If it hadn't been for Ye Luo bringing back the little princess, he might have lost his life. To make matters worse, there was still no news of Zhang Ren, who had gone after Ye Huan. Therefore, upon hearing Ye Huan's words, his first response was, "This is bad, very bad! If anything happens to Zhang Ren, I will make sure you suffer too!"
As he spoke, a clear white light gradually appeared in Zhang Feng's hand, extending outward continuously.
Seeing this scene clearly, Ye Huan realized that Zhang Feng must have misunderstood that Zhang Ren had not returned yet because something had happened to him. Unable to help himself, he said, "Zhang, the City Lord, Zhang Ren is doing well. He is currently a guest at the Han family in Flame Sun City of the Southern Xiongnu Empire. You don’t need to worry about him..."
Flame Sun City’s Han family?
Having lived for decades, Zhang Feng was indeed aware of the situations in other countries. The Han family from the Southern Xiongnu Empire was one of them; it was rumored that their head was a Ninth Level Warrior. However, what puzzled Zhang Feng was how Zhang Ren ended up there.
The more he thought about it, the more he suspected that Ye Huan was playing tricks on him. He couldn't help but focus his gaze on Ye Huan, seeking an answer from him as the white light in his hand faded away.
Comparing Zhang Feng's change in demeanor, Ye Huan knew he must have believed what he said and finally let out a sigh of relief. After all, Zhang Feng and Zhang Ren shared a blood relation; if they were to fight, Ye Huan would have no way to ensure his own safety while also avoiding killing Zhang Feng.
Looking at the inquiry in Zhang Feng's eyes and considering his purpose for coming to Beiyuan City, Ye Huan hesitated for a moment before speaking up: "Zhang, the City Lord, I need to take care of something. Why don’t we go together? Once I’m done with my business, we can have a good chat."
"Take care of something? What could a wanted criminal like you possibly have to do?"
Upon hearing Ye Huan's words, Zhang Feng looked astonished, his thick brows knitting together. But then he began to doubt whether he had misheard; he could hardly believe his ears when Ye Huan declared, "Destroy the Dragon Hall branch in Beiyuan City!"
Since Northern Liang City was completely leveled by the noble clan's Ninth Level Warrior, the influence of Dragon Hall has soared to unprecedented heights. In Beiyuan City alone, inns, brothels, taverns, and gambling houses—essentially any establishment capable of making a profit—have been monopolized by Dragon Hall. Even those who are not part of Dragon Hall are often backed by its shadow. Zhang Feng, the lord of Beiyuan City, finds his status diminishing day by day.
To emphasize the power of Dragon Hall, its branch was established directly across from the lord's mansion, occupying an area that rivals that of the mansion itself. Inside, the number of professionals far exceeds that of the lord's residence.
On ordinary days, Zhang Feng would prefer to avoid provoking the individuals within the Dragon Hall branch. However, upon learning that Ye Huan was also present, his curiosity got the better of him, prompting him to follow after gathering a substantial number of soldiers to prevent any unnecessary chaos.
In contrast, Ye Huan has remained remarkably calm since encountering Zhang Feng. A faint smile graces his lips, as if he is indifferent to everything around him. He bears a striking resemblance to Xuan Ziming, which only deepens Zhang Feng's sense of shock.
Just a month ago, even during the Trial Assembly, Ye Huan was merely a level two summoner. Yet in such a short span of time, he has transformed into a Fifth Level Pinnacle summoner. His demeanor has undergone a dramatic change; he now resembles a treasured sword—calm and still when sheathed but capable of unleashing a fierce roar when drawn.
Especially now, as Zhang Feng watches Ye Huan kick open the two crimson wooden doors at the entrance of Dragon Hall in Beiyuan City, he feels an almost tangible aura of killing intent emanating from Ye Huan, chilling even this seasoned warrior to the bone.
'What on earth has happened during this time? How much blood has Ye Huan shed?'
Staring in astonishment at Ye Huan's figure ahead, Zhang Feng perceives an insurmountable difference between this version of Ye Huan and the one from a month ago. Before he can fully process these thoughts, he notices that Ye Huan is shouldering a long cylindrical object. As soon as the doors to Dragon Hall are destroyed, several warriors at Third Rank rush out.
"Die!"
With an RPG Rocket Launcher in hand, Ye Huan harbors no fondness for Dragon Hall. Aside from the Mysterious Old Man, this includes Long Batian. After all, when he first arrived in the capital city, members of Dragon Hall relentlessly pursued him for days on end and later made several attempts on his life that nearly cost him everything.
A deafening roar erupts as the rocket is launched from the RPG Rocket Launcher. It strikes a Second-Level Warrior but surprisingly does not explode immediately; instead, it sends him crashing backward into a Third-Rank Warrior. Only then does it detonate violently, unleashing a wave of heat that engulfs other warriors from Beiyuan City's Dragon Hall and kills them all in one fell swoop!
"God, is this still a human? How can he look even more twisted than a sorcerer?"
"Yeah! Even our city lord probably couldn't do it so easily, right?"
Through the crimson door that Ye Huan had stomped open, everything happening inside was clear to see. The soldiers from Beiyuan City who had followed Ye Huan couldn't help but feel relieved that they hadn't acted earlier; otherwise, what kind of fate would they be facing now?
As for the few low-level Professionals who had come along from the inn in Sky Star City, they were already dumbfounded. The teenager who had confidently proclaimed himself a member of Dragon Hall earlier was now so frightened that he sat down on the ground.
Hearing the whispers behind him, Ye Huan turned around, his eyes filled with fury sweeping across the room. Instantly, there was silence outside the door; even Zhang Feng felt a chill run down his spine, pondering whether to capture Ye Huan or not.
Despite being a wanted criminal, his strength...
Having firmly decided that he could not offend Ye Huan under any circumstances, Zhang Feng quickly made up his mind. Even if it meant offending Dragon Hall today, he could not provoke the Ye Huan before him. After all, the power that Ye Huan had just displayed was undoubtedly on par with a full-force strike from an Eighth-Level Warrior. Otherwise, how could he have killed so many low-level warriors in one blow?
Thinking of this, Zhang Feng hastily called over two soldiers and whispered to them, "Go and surround all areas near Dragon Hall. At the same time, issue a lockdown order throughout the city; no ordinary citizens are allowed to step outside."
"This..."
Upon hearing what Zhang Feng said, the two soldiers hesitated. It was understandable; a lockdown order was something issued only when Beiyuan City faced life-and-death situations. Over the years, even when Zhao Wujie came to Beiyuan for the Trial Assembly, such an order had never been issued. Now they were making an exception for Ye Huan?
Seeing these two brainless soldiers still hesitating and glancing nervously at Ye Huan, Zhang Feng couldn't help but curse, "You two idiots! Do you really think he doesn't have the power to destroy all of Beiyuan City? Since he dares to come back so openly, he must have some backing. Do as I say and hurry!"
As he spoke, Zhang Feng gestured towards Ye Huan's back. Only then did the two soldiers realize just how terrifying Ye Huan's strength had become. They hurriedly ran out, but whether they could keep their mouths shut was something even Zhang Feng couldn't guarantee.
"Hey, let's try not to leak the incident of Ye Huan taking down Dragon Hall, if we can help it!"
With a sigh, Zhang Feng turned his gaze back to the scene, only to be taken aback. After the sound created by Ye Huan firing the RPG Rocket Launcher, everyone in the Dragon Hall branch had heard the massive noise and rushed over. However, only one person emerged from the chaos, and that was dead!
At some point, Ye Huan had two M60 machine guns in hand, wildly spraying bullets at those approaching. In just a short while, the entrance of Dragon Hall was drenched in blood, with bodies strewn everywhere!
"No way?!"
With his mouth agape in shock, Zhang Feng listened to the rhythmic gunfire and truly wondered if he was hallucinating. He hurriedly rubbed his eyes, but nothing changed; in the entire Dragon Hall branch, anyone who stepped out ended up lying down—unable even to utter a word!
Above Ye Huan, two chains of bullets formed from Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy connected to the M60 machine guns, requiring no reloading whatsoever. It would not be an exaggeration to call him a human artillery platform. Even more astonishing was Ye Huan himself; with each bullet fired, the tremendous recoil forced him to shake continuously. Yet despite this, he did not take a single step back!
This continued for nearly three minutes without anyone daring to emerge from Dragon Hall in Beiyuan City. Following the principle of cutting down weeds by their roots—otherwise they would spring back in spring—he retracted the two M60s and held up the 2012 Arms manual. Pressing a button, a Military Lighter popped out. As Zhang Feng's eyes widened in disbelief, Ye Huan opened the lighter's cover and ignited it before tossing it into the Main Hall of Dragon Hall.
In wealthy areas of Huaxia Nation, houses were built sturdily from solid wood and were generally hard to ignite. However, once set ablaze, they would be difficult to extinguish.
Before long, flames engulfed Dragon Hall completely. As the fire flickered wildly, Ye Huan turned around and put on a pair of sunglasses with a suave motion. To Zhang Feng and the soldiers at the entrance, Ye Huan now seemed like a godly figure…
Noticing Zhang Feng and others looking at him, Ye Huan felt a bit embarrassed; his cheeks flushed slightly. But behind the Black Sunglasses, no one could see this.
Forcing a smile against the backdrop of roaring flames, Ye Huan addressed Zhang Feng: "Zhang, the City Lord, I've completed my task. Can we leave now?"
