Chapter Ninety-Three: The Devil’s Smile

Qin Feiyang was still unaware of the mood of the three giants of the Alchemy Hall.

But he had already come out of seclusion and was on his way back to Black Bear City.

After a month of quiet cultivation, he had successfully copied the fourth stroke of the “return” character.

At the same time, he had also advanced to the rank of five-star martial master.

As for Ling Yunfei, he had not yet broken through to six-star martial master, though he was not far off.

Yet when he witnessed Qin Feiyang’s method of cultivation, the shock in his heart was beyond words.

Merely by copying a single stroke, one could actually increase one’s cultivation?

It was utterly unheard of.

If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it no matter what.

In short, in his eyes now, Qin Feiyang was a complete monster. No matter what strange thing happened, it no longer seemed odd.

The two of them raced along the riverbank at breathtaking speed.

The ferocious beasts and aquatic beasts they encountered were not very strong, and were swiftly dealt with by them.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the place where they had been ambushed that night.

A howl!

Bang! Bang bang!

Just as they were about to cross the river, a wolf’s howl rang out from the forest behind them.

At the same time, sounds of battle could also be heard.

Qin Feiyang’s body stiffened, and he abruptly turned to look into the woods.

Why would there be a wolf howl?

Could it be the Wolf King?

Ling Yunfei also turned to look in that direction, frowning. “If I remember correctly, the snake den seems to be over there?”

“Come on, let’s go take a look!”

Qin Feiyang waved his hand and unleashed his Misty Smoke Step, shooting forward like a bolt of lightning.

“Haha, beast, let’s see how you escape today!”

“Once we catch you, Qin Feiyang will surely come to save you. Then we’ll set a trap and catch all of you in one net!”

Shortly after, two bursts of laughter drifted out from deep within the forest.

The sounds of battle also came to an abrupt halt.

That was enough to show the fight was over.

But when Qin Feiyang heard those words, his whole body trembled violently.

It really was the Wolf King!

And from the sound of it, its situation was extremely bad!

“No matter who you are, all of you will die today!”

Murderous intent burst forth from his eyes, as cold as frost.

Even Ling Yunfei beside him could clearly feel it.

Ahead.

Three hundred meters away.

The Wolf King lay on the ground, covered in wounds, drenched in blood.

That was not all.

Its four legs had also been broken.

It lay in a pool of blood, unable to move.

Yet its eyes were fixed on the front, filled with a ruthless and ferocious glare.

In its line of sight stood two richly dressed youths.

One of them was none other than Mu Fei.

The two of them looked at the Wolf King and laughed heartily.

The other youth still held a wooden club as thick as a man’s arm. The club was also stained with blood.

Clearly, the Wolf King’s four legs had been broken by this man with that club.

Mu Fei picked up a tree branch as thick as a thumb and jabbed the Wolf King with it. Seeing that it did not move, he immediately gave a thumbs-up and flattered him. “Big brother, you really are amazing. You took care of this beast in no time at all.”

Mu Yang lifted his chin arrogantly. “What nonsense is that? Your big brother here is at least a six-star martial master. Dealing with a little wolf cub is as easy as turning my hand over.”

“Yes, yes, yes. With your abilities, big brother, let alone this beast—even if Qin Feiyang saw you, he’d definitely be scared out of his pants on the spot.”

Mu Fei nodded repeatedly.

Mu Yang laughed loudly. “That’s the kind of thing Big Brother likes to hear. Our luck today is not bad either. It’s rare for us to go out, and yet we actually ran into it. Once we take it back, Father will surely be very pleased.”

“Of course.”

“But we can’t hand this beast over to the city lord.”

“Because he’d steal our credit.”

“We’ll give it directly to Lord Lin Liang. In that way, our Mu family will have established ties with the Lin family of Cloud City. When that time comes, our rise to prominence will be only a matter of time!”

Mu Fei said.

“Reasonable.”

Mu Yang nodded and patted Mu Fei on the head, smiling. “I didn’t expect your little brain to be so useful.”

Mu Fei scratched his head and grinned foolishly.

Suddenly, his gaze turned cold.

He looked at the Wolf King and said, “Big brother, last time I suffered a big loss at the hands of Qin Feiyang and this beast. Could I teach it a lesson first?”

Mu Yang said, “Suit yourself, as long as you don’t kill it.”

Mu Fei was overjoyed. He glanced around, picked up another tree branch as thick as a thumb—

Smack!

He raised his hand and whipped it hard across the Wolf King’s body.

“You little wolf cub, weren’t you very arrogant last time?”

“You snatched the Bliss Flower, and not only that, you also robbed me of every last gold coin on me.”

“If you have the guts, stand up right now and fight this young master for three hundred rounds. Come on, why are you still lying there?”

“Come on, you damned beast!”

While cursing, he lashed the Wolf King madly.

This scene was just seen by Qin Feiyang, who had rushed over.

In an instant, his fury soared to the heavens and his killing intent shot straight into the sky.

Without a single word, true qi surged in his palm as he lunged at the two men.

“Jiang Haotian!”

“Ling Yunfei!”

Hearing the commotion, Mu Fei and Mu Yang turned around to look, and their expressions changed drastically.

Hadn’t it been said that the two of them were already dead?

Why had they suddenly appeared here?

Was this a ghost?

Mu Fei hurriedly threw away the branch and hid behind Mu Yang.

“Even if he isn’t dead, he’s only a four-star martial master. What is there to fear?”

Mu Yang glared at Mu Fei, steadied himself, then turned to Qin Feiyang and the other man with a cold laugh. “To think you actually escaped from the jaws of the Sawtooth Crocodile King. I have to say, your luck is truly great!”

Qin Feiyang, however, paid him no heed. His face was cold to the extreme.

Seeing this, murderous intent also surged fiercely in Mu Yang’s eyes.

Since they weren’t dead, then they might as well be completely finished here.

“Mighty Bull Fist!”

He threw away the wooden club in his hand, stepped forward to meet Qin Feiyang, and as he drew near, true qi erupted from him as he punched out!

“Wind and Thunder Palm!”

Qin Feiyang gave a low roar. His arm shot out like lightning, sending a palm strike toward Mu Yang’s fist.

Bang!

At their first clash, both men retreated.

“Six-star martial master!”

Qin Feiyang’s pupils shrank.

This man was only using a superior martial technique, Mighty Bull Fist.

Yet the Wind and Thunder Palm he used was a perfect martial technique. Combined with his own cultivation as a five-star martial master, that strike had the force of nine savage elephants.

And yet this man had still managed to fight him to a draw, which was enough to show he was a six-star martial master.

Compared to Qin Feiyang, Mu Yang was even more shocked.

After stabilizing himself, he stared fixedly at Qin Feiyang and asked in a deep voice, “What exactly is your cultivation level?”

“Just know that it’s enough to kill you.”

Qin Feiyang smiled coldly, his killing intent bone-deep.

Bang!

He stepped out, and the ground beneath him trembled.

With his next step, his speed suddenly surged!

Misty Smoke Step!

His current speed was four times what it had been before.

Even if Mu Yang’s strength was on par with his, he still had the confidence to kill him in one blow.

“What a terrifying speed!”

“Mu Fei, take that wolf and run!”

Mu Yang’s expression changed drastically. He shouted at Mu Fei, then threw all his strength into a punch at Qin Feiyang.

At the same time, Mu Fei shuddered and turned to run toward the Wolf King.

Qin Feiyang shouted, “Ling Yunfei, stop him!”

However, Ling Yunfei seemed not to hear him at all. He was looking back and forth between the Wolf King and Qin Feiyang in surprise.

Why was he so concerned about that wolf?

Could it be that Jiang Haotian was Qin Feiyang?

“Damn it!”

Qin Feiyang cursed under his breath and roared, “You white-eyed wolf, if you don’t want to die, stand up right now!”

As he roared, he moved with Misty Smoke Step, dodging Mu Yang’s full-force punch. In the same instant, he withdrew Azure Snow like lightning and drove the blade backward into Mu Yang’s right leg. Blood spurted out violently at once.

“Aaaah...”

Mu Yang dropped to one knee on the spot, screaming in agony as though his heart and liver were being torn apart.

At the same moment, Mu Fei reached out a hand toward the Wolf King’s tail.

“This little pain, this little injury, what does it amount to?”

“I can’t let Xiao Qin look down on me!”

The Wolf King roared in fury within its heart and suddenly got to its feet.

At the places where its four limbs had been broken, rows of bone spikes instantly tore through flesh and skin, piercing through its fur and exposing themselves.

Blood sprayed everywhere.

The pain nearly suffocated it, almost causing it to faint.

But it did not fall.

Nor did it cry out.

It suddenly spun around and pounced onto Mu Fei, biting through his throat in one shot.

Bang bang!

Then the man and the wolf rolled together on the ground.

Mu Fei died on the spot, his eyes wide open in death.

The Wolf King’s consciousness was also being swallowed by darkness.

Seeing this, Qin Feiyang withdrew Azure Snow and hurried over to the Wolf King.

Mu Yang, seizing the opportunity, fled back toward Black Bear City without once looking back.

Ling Yunfei beside him still did not move.

He stared at the man and the wolf, his face full of disbelief.

After Qin Feiyang reached the Wolf King’s side, he took out a large handful of healing pills and bone-setting pills and stuffed them all at once into the Wolf King’s mouth.

“White-eyed wolf, you mustn’t die...”

He was frantic with worry. Looking at the Wolf King, who was on the verge of death, his eyes filled with moisture, blurring his vision.

“Don’t worry. Your wolf brother has great life and great fortune. I won’t die...”

The Wolf King grinned, then immediately fainted, losing all consciousness.

Qin Feiyang was startled. He hurriedly extended a finger and placed it beneath the Wolf King’s nostrils.

Breathing!

He still was not reassured.

He gently placed a hand over the Wolf King’s abdomen.

Heartbeat!

Phew.

Only then did Qin Feiyang finally exhale.

With a wave of his hand, he sent the Wolf King into the ancient fortress. Then he stood up, glanced at Ling Yunfei, walked over to the wooden club, bent down, and seized it before pursuing Mu Yang.

Mu Yang had been stabbed in the thigh and was limping so badly that he could not even move at half his usual speed.

So in less than ten breaths, Qin Feiyang caught up to him.

“You bastard, you dare bully my white-eyed wolf? I’ll cripple you!”

He roared and brought the club crashing down at once.

Crack!

Mu Yang’s left leg was broken on the spot. He crashed face-first to the ground and swallowed a mouthful of dirt.

“You treated the Wolf King like this, and now I’ll treat you the same way!”

“No, I’ll repay you double!”

Qin Feiyang stepped forward, his whole body seething with murderous rage, and brought the club down again, breaking Mu Yang’s other leg.

“Aaaah...”

Mu Yang screamed miserably.

The pain had already distorted his features beyond recognition.

“Now do you know what pain is?”

Qin Feiyang swung his arm, and the club fell again, breaking Mu Yang’s left hand.

“Kill me!”

Mu Yang howled hysterically.

“Kill you? How could it be that easy? I want you to taste what it means to wish for death but be unable to die!”

Qin Feiyang was furious beyond measure.

At the thought of the Wolf King’s miserable state, he wished he could tear through the heavens themselves.

Crack!

Another strike fell, and Mu Yang’s right hand was also brutally broken.

At this moment, he was utterly despairing.

The person before him was a demon. There was no way he would ever let him go.

Qin Feiyang crouched down on the ground, bared a mouthful of white teeth, and smiled sweetly as he asked, “What should I hit next? Give me a suggestion?”

Seeing Qin Feiyang’s expression, Mu Yang could not help but feel a chill run through his entire body.

That was simply the smile of a demon.
