Hail the King

“Huh? Interesting. I’m the prey now?”

Fei sneered; he didn’t expect that people would want to rob him.

It was clear that these people wanted to kill him first before robbing all the treasures from his storage ring. They probably didn’t know what was in his ring, but they would rather kill him and find out than let him go. It was their habit.

The king didn’t have any warrior energy surge or magic energy surge on him, so these people probably thought that he was a weak person.

Fei sneered but didn’t do anything strange. He walked toward the outskirts of the area slowly.

As he expected, those murderous spirits moved slowly and followed him tightly.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Before he could walk out of the level 34 region, four people dashed out of an alleyway and blocked Fei’s way.

These four people were dressed in a similar fashion. They were all wearing black inner shirts with white light armors on top. Even though they were of different heights, they all had dense murderous spirits. It was clear that they just killed someone earlier.

Also, they weren’t wearing any masks; it seemed like they were confident in their abilities and thought that they didn’t need to hide their identities.

“Kill him!” One of them shouted, “The treasure-seeking beast reacted! He has great treasures on him!”

This man was thin, and his hair was white. Greed flashed in his tiny eyes, and he had a small golden cage in his hand. In the cage, there was a raccoon-like creature. This little guy had big eyes, and it looked anxious and worried. It squeaked loudly, looking like it was fearful of the person who was holding the cage.

According to what this man said, this raccoon-like creature was a unique beast that was sensitive to treasures. It was quite interesting.

After hearing this man’s order, the other three people revealed their weapons. They dashed toward Fei like lightning bolts and sneered.

These three people were all mid-tier New Moon Elites, and they were influential figures in the outside world. In addition, it seemed like they were able to coordinate quite well. They moved in a pattern and blocked off all of Fei’s possible escape routes.

“Hahaha! Since you have treasures on you, then die! Wind Strike!”

The person who attacked Fei first was holding a huge sword that was more than two and a half meters long and half a meter wide with both hands. It looked heavy like an iron plate.

However, in this man’s hands, this sword was swung around easily. As he chopped down, the body of the blade left a series of afterimages in the air, and his body started to spin because of the momentum of the sword. He dashed at Fei like a bladestorm.

This was a powerful high-level Moon-Class Technique.

The sword was like a whirlwind, turning around and becoming more powerful after each rotation.

This man used his Moon-Class Combat Technique right off the bat, meaning that he wanted to end this battle as soon as he could. At the same time, a casual expression appeared on his face, showing others that he was at ease. In fact, his other three peers didn’t follow up with more attacks. It was clear that they didn’t think Fei, who had no energy surge on him, could pose threats to them.

Fei moved aside and staggered; it looked like he dodged the first attack by luck. At the same time, he asked them, “Are the people around the [Elemental Altar] killed by you guys?”

“Hahaha! Kid, you are going to die soon! Why are you worried about those dead people? You are right; I killed three of them…… You will be the fourth!”

Since the Wind Strike was initiated, it wouldn’t stop in a short time. As this man sneered, his huge sword swung faster and faster in the air, drawing a series of red lines in the space around him. The energy coming off the blade was powerful, and the momentum was great as well. It looked like Fei was going to be chopped by this sword very soon.

“Humph! Since that is the case, then die!”

After experiencing the incident caused by the Blood-Edge Mercenary Group, Fei hated bandits who killed people and robbed their properties. Therefore, he wasn’t going to hold back after learning about what happened.

He unleashed his insane physical strength! He stomped on the ground, and two huge spider-web-like cracks appeared. Then, his body turned into a series of phantoms that were hard to catch with the human eyes.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Boom!

When the sword shredded the last phantom, the Wind Strike finally slowed down before stopping. The crazy wind created by it slowly disappeared, and the huge sword stabbed into the ground and shook violently.

Not sure when, but Fei was already inside the inner circle created by this strike, and one of his hands was on this attacker’s neck as if he was holding up a chicken.

Although this man was muscular, he couldn’t do anything. He felt like the hand around his neck was a metal clench, locking him down with indefensible power! In his eyes, Fei would see fear and regret.

Crack!

Before the other three people could react, Fei turned his wrist, and this person who attacked him first got his neck broken.

“AHHHHH! He actually…… killed our fourth brother? Go! Let’s go and kill him! We need to avenge for our fourth brother!”

After a moment of pause, the elder who led the group roared as the murderous spirit on him intensified. Then, the three of them all dashed forward at Fei aggressively.

“Eh, such a rare opportunity. Let’s see if the technique documented in [Demon King’s Sword] is that magical,” Fei thought to himself as he grasped his hand, pulling over the huge sword that was now stabbed on the ground.

After he got the sword in his hand, he lightly knocked it and heard a series of deep muffled noises.

He got a little used to the weight of the sword, and he nodded at the two people who were about to land their weapons on his forehead.

He raised his arm and shook his wrist, moving the blade upward.

Tink! Tink!

After two loud metal-colliding noises, the two people, who charged at Fei in the front, felt like huge waves hit them. As their faces changed color, their bodies flew backward.

“Wind Strike!”

Fei swung the sword, and his body moved in a circle gracefully under the momentum of the sword.

The blade also drew red lines in the air, and huge winds blew in all directions.

The strike that Fei used was no different to the Wind Strike that was used previously.

In fact, when Fei used this technique, it was more controlled and looked a lot more beautiful. The movements of the sword seemed as if they followed the natural laws, and it was dazzling!

Puff! Puff!

Two light noises sounded. The two charging at Fei didn’t react in time, and the sword instantly hit them; their bodies got cut in half from the waistline. However, since the sword was so fast, they didn’t realize what happened for a few seconds. When the sword finally landed on the ground, blood spurted out of their wounds. By then, they finally looked down and saw the injuries. They didn’t die right away; they whined and regretted their decisions.

“You also know the Wind Strike? Who are you? Did you lure us here intentionally? You are so vicious……” the thin elder who had the golden cage with him was terrified. He knew that he was no match for Fei, and he wanted to turn around and run away.

Fei waved his hand.

Whoosh!

The huge sword dashed out of his hand and turned into a phantom. Before that elder could get away, the sword pierced through his body, nailing his corpse onto the wall of a palace.

Three of them were all mid-tier New Moon Elites, and this elder was the most powerful, reaching the level of top-tier New Moon.

However, they were all too weak for Fei.

To Fei, this kind of battle wasn’t even challenging.

The only thing he got from it was the proof that the unique technique recorded in [Demon King’s Sword] was useful. Fei only saw that person use the Wind Strike once, and he was able to mimic it. In fact, the technique was more powerful in his hands.

“It is probably dependant on my opponent’s level. That person was only at mid-tier New Moon, a lot weaker than me. That is probably why I was able to see through his technique thoroughly. It is probably harder to mimic a more powerful person’s technique…… This technique is a little useless, but it good for showing off! Haha!”

Fei commented after the battle. As he was about to leave, a series of squeaking noises sounded.

He turned around in surprise and saw that the raccoon-like creature already got out of the golden cage. When Fei killed that elder, this golden cage fell onto the ground and broke; that was how this creature got out.

At the moment, with fear and anxiousness in its eyes, it was bowing at Fei, thanking him for saving it.

“This little guy is able to get within three meters of me, and I didn’t notice it?” Fei was surprised. Even a Half Moon Elite couldn’t get this close to him without being discovered.

From the look on this little guy’s face, it seemed like it wanted to stay with him, even though it was a bit scared of him.

Fei laughed and reached out his hand.

The little creature squeaked happily and climbed up Fei’s arm. After it sat on Fei’s shoulder, it squeaked again, showing its gratitude. This little creature was quite smart and knew how to behave.

Also, it had a unique fragrance, making Fei feel refreshed.

To show its appreciation, it even licked Fei’s ear intimately.

Fei instantly liked this little creature.

Perhaps he saw a lot of cartoons with raccoons in them when he was little, but this creature did make him remember his childhood. This little creature on his shoulder was like a chubby furry dark-red ball with a tail that had black and white strips on it. It looked just like a cartoon character.

“That old guy said you are a treasure-seeking beast. Since you aren’t affected by the natural pressure in this space, it means that you are unique indeed. It will be tragic if you die in here. Let me take you out! Sit still!”

Whoosh!

As soon as Fei said that, he exerted force through his feet, and he dashed toward the exit.

The little creature on Fei’s shoulder squeaked cheerfully as it held onto Fei’s hair tightly. It seemed like it was used to this high speed.
