It was an exciting night of collecting sheep fursâwait, it was a night of training!
Wang Teng finished picking up the last attribute bubble and came out of the Jixin Martial House. He drove his car along the seaside highway on his way home.
Jixin Martial House was situated beside the sea. There was a highway following the coastline. At night, there werenât many cars on this road.
Under the dark night sky, the place seemed exceptionally quiet and secluded.
Wang Teng was the last to leave again. The other students of the martial arts academy had already gone home much earlier.
The music in the car was turned on, and the vibrant and loud music dispersed the silence in the surroundingâ¦
Tonight, I watch the snow fluttering in the cold night
My heart is cold as I travel far away
I ran in the wind and the rain, not able to differentiate the figures in the mist
The sky and the sea, you and me
Will we changeâ¦
â¦
Screechâ¦
The friction between the tires and asphalt broke the calmness of the silent night. The relaxing atmosphere created by the music was gone.
Wang Teng had managed to stop his car just in time. His body flung forward because of inertia, but as a martial warrior, his control over his body was exceptional. He forcefully remained in his seat.
The high beam lit up the scene in front. A large fallen tree was blocking the road ahead. At the same time, there was a human figure sitting on a branch of the large tree. He couldnât make out the figure clearly.
Wang Teng frowned.
It looked like this person had come bearing ill intent. He seemed to be targeting him.
Just as Wang Teng was about to get out of his car, he suddenly thought of something and activated his Spiritual Sight.
A ball of bright light like a 50-watt incandescent lamp appeared in his visionâ¦
Force!
Martial warrior!
Wang Tengâs heart skipped a beat. Why was a martial warrior looking for him? Who was he? What motive did he haveâ¦
A pile of questions filled up his heart.
However, comparing the intensity of the light he saw using his Spiritual Sight and the light on himself, he had nothing to be afraid of, even if they were to fight.
Wang Teng took out his battle sword and wore his boxing gloves. Then, he got out of the car slowly.
âHand over the item!â The man looked at Wang Teng and opened his mouth.
âWhat item? I donât think I know you!â Wang Teng curiously asked.
âIt doesnât matter whether you know me or not. However, if you hand over the item you took from Mount Baoâan, I can spare your life,â said the person coldly.
âWhat item? What Mount Baoâan? Why donât I understand what you are saying?â Wang Tengâs heart dropped.
How did this person know that he had taken something?
The person snorted. He stood up and walked towards Wang Teng. âYou donât know? In that case, where did you get the sword and boxing gloves in your hands?â
âI bought them,â Wang Teng replied indifferently.
When the other party came closer, Wang Teng finally saw his appearance. This was a man around 30 years old. There was no distinguishing feature on his face, but his eyes were like that of a lone wolf. He didnât look like a kind person by any means.
âYouâre at the brink of death, you know. Why are you still being stubborn?â The man waved his cell phone. âAll the members of our team installed a GPS tracking system in our phones. You hid it well by destroying their corpses and all traces left. After all, dead men tell no tales. Unfortunately, you were stupid enough to bring their cell phones back.â
Damn it, I didnât even expect a tracking system to be installed in the cell phones. I was too careless! Wang Teng scolded himself in his heart.
âDo you have nothing to say now? Tell me where the item is, and I will spare your life.
âI donât mind telling you that Iâm a martial warrior. Youâre just a martial disciple. Even if you have rune weapons, you are not my match.
âSo, donât cause harm to yourself,â said the man calmly.
Wang Teng felt lucky. Fortunately, he brought the two cell phones along with him wherever he went. This person had just tracked him through GPS, so he probably didnât know where he lived.
Still, Wang Teng pretended to look shocked.
âMartial warrior, youâre actually a martial warrior!
âIf I hand the item over to you, will you really let me go?â
At this moment, it was as if Wang Teng was possessed by a drama king. He appeared to be nervous and frightened, mired by a dilemma.
âOf course, you should feel fortunate that I came alone to settle this matter.
âIf my other teammates had found you out first, hmph, they arenât as easy to talk to like me,â the man continued.
âNo one knows about this?â Wang Teng raised his head.
âThatâs right. Iâm the only one. You donât have to worry about other people looking for trouble.â The man probably wanted to let Wang Teng believe him, so his expression was extremely sincere.
âOkay, I will tell you. But you must first promise to spare my life.â
Wang Teng gritted his teeth and nodded firmly. He walked towards the other party in a cautious manner.
The man had a smile on his face. âDonât worry. I mean what I say. Iâm a martial warrior. Thereâs no need for me to lie to a small martial disciple like you.â
âI put that thingâ¦â
Wang Teng walked until he was within three meters of the martial warrior. Then, his gaze intensified, and he heavily stepped on the ground. Using the rebounding force, Wang Teng jumped high up.
The smile on the manâs face turned hideous!
âLittle brat, I knew you wonât be so honest. I was already guarding against you. Do you think you can fool me with your hidden intentions?
âYou are just a martial disciple!
âToday, I will show you the difference between a martial disciple and a martial warrior!â
The man punched at Wang Teng. There was a layer of brown Force covering his fist, giving off a thick and solid feeling.
Wang Teng swung his long sword in response.
Mastery stage Basic Sword Skill!
When he raised his sword, he didnât use any Force. However, once the long sword collided with his opponentâs fist, a scorching explosive Force erupted from the sword.
Boom!
The two Forces collided and caused a loud roar.
Wang Teng had used all his strength in this attack while the other party had a casual attitude. He considered Wang Teng as just a martial disciple.
The winner was apparent!
Slash!
The manâs flesh got slashed and his bones cracked by the strength behind the attack. Blood spurted out like a fountain, going high into the sky.
The manâs scream of agony accompanied the falling blood.
âAh!â
One of his arms had been chopped off by Wang Teng.
A moment ago, he was still confident and arrogant, as if everything was in his control. Now, his face was pale, and his features were distorted from the pain. Astonishment, anger, and disbelief were written all over his face.
âMartial warrior!
âYouâre actually a martial warrior!â
The man couldnât help but exclaim. He never would have thought that this high school brat in front of him was a martial warrior.
Run!
He must escape!
If not, he would die!
The man had lost an arm, so his battle prowess had drastically dropped. He knew that he wasnât Wang Tengâs match. His heart was filled with resentment, but he still turned and ran away.
He had seen the overflowing killing intent on Wang Tengâs face.
As well as his pair of indifferent eyes.
There was no hint of anxiety or fear in them anymore. All that was fake. He had been acting, and brilliantly at that.
This was a⦠drama king!
âAre you planning to leave?â
After Wang Teng chopped off the manâs arm with a single stroke, he didnât hesitate. He executed his mastery footwork and accelerated exponentially. Flames intertwined his battle sword as he slashed it at the other party.
âLittle brat, donât go too far!â the man screamed in terror. At the same time, he wasnât going to wait for his death. He hurriedly evaded the attacks.
Wang Teng wasnât affected. He continued following the man with his footwork and inched closer towards him with every move.
But, his opponent was obviously an experienced martial warrior with ample battle experience. Despite being heavily injured, he was still able to hold on to his dear life.
I canât drag for too long!
I must end it quickly!
Wang Teng was in a hurry. In an instant, a spiritual light flashed past, and the battle sword flew out of his hand. He had hurled it at his opponent.
Swoosh!
The battle sword shot out like an arrow leaving its bow, bringing with it the power of the fire flames.
The manâs pupils constricted into a dot. The hair on his body stood up as he tried his best to tilt his body and dodge the sword.
Slash!
The battle sword slashed his chest and left a bloody mark behind. The skin around the cut was all burnt.
Still, he had managed to evade the fatal blow.
The man was panting heavily, swallowing large puffs of air. He felt as if he had just survived a calamity.
âHahaha, little brat, you wonât be able to kill me. Todayâ¦â
He burst out laughing. However, before he could finish his sentence, a gust of strong and icy wind smashed towards him from his right.
The man turned his head.
A fist that looked like an ice sculpture was quickly growing in size in front of his eyes.
âIce element!
âNo!â
