“Let the princess go.”
Lin Feng grabbed the long sword from his back. He then slowly started walking forwards. He looked cold and expressionless. The tip of his sword was dragging across the ground, which was sliced open by the sword, leaving a trail behind it.
“The prince has given us the order to capture him alive.” said one of the black guards indifferently. Lin Feng was stupefied, as the prince wanted him alive?
The prince was obviously Mo Jie. Could it be that he had planned everything from the beginning and had sent these soldiers to escort the princess and run far away with her so that Lin Feng would follow them?
“It was too bad that we had to spare his life last time. All we could do was take the princess alive. The prince is too merciful.” said one of the men. His face was visible though. Even though he wasn’t very old, his face was already covered with a long beard.
Besides, what surprised Lin Feng is that even though the eight people accompanying Duan Xin Ye were all black guards, their helmets were different than normal.
Amongst them, four of them had a helmet which entirely covered their face except for their eyes.
The four others were wearing helmets which didn’t entirely cover their faces. The one who had just talked was one of those wearing a helmet which didn’t cover his entire face.
“Hu Qiong, even though we cannot kill him, we can teach him a good lesson. We can still be incredibly cruel.” said another person. Hu Qiong was surprised. An evil smile appeared on his face. His horse then started walking towards Lin Feng.
“Do you know what status the four of us have?” asked Hu Qiong coldly.
“The four idiots.” replied Lin Feng with an indifferent tone. How could he know who Hu Qiong and the others were?
“Idiots?” Hu Qiong smiled coldly. “You will realize how foolish you have been to attack us. We are all black guard Lieutenants. We were leading troops on the battlefield, but because of you and that trap you organized, the prince ordered us to leave and capture you alive. You should be proud of yourself.”
“Lieutenants…” Lin Feng was surprised. Because of him, they used the princess as bait and sent four lieutenants. Against all expectations, they were really interested in him.
But who were the four with their faces covered? Even though the Qi they released was not as strong as that of the lieutenants, it was also extremely strong.
“Your strategy to set the city on fire has led to the death of many of our fellow soldiers, and even though I cannot kill you, I want to beat you within an inch of your life. All I feel is hatred towards you.” said Hu Qiong. He then grabbed his weapon, which was a gigantic axe. He looked ferocious and terrifying. His axe probably weighed at least a few hundred kilos.
“Arrrghhhh!” Hu Qiong shouted furiously. His horse suddenly charged towards Lin Feng at full speed. His axe let out a loud thunderous roar as it tore through the air.
Lin Feng unsheathed his sword with incredible speed and sliced off the front legs from the horse which Hu Qiong was riding. Hu Qiong continued and jumped from his horse towards Lin Feng.
Lin Feng then raised his sword to block the axe as it crashed down from above. When the axe and Lin Feng’s long sword met, Lin Feng was pushed down. The shock alone was enough to make Lin Feng groan, as he had been injured.
“How powerful!” thought Lin Feng. He was astonished. He was blankly staring at the enemy. That guy was the same strength as the leader of the black guards he killed before, seventh Ling Qi layer. He was a level stronger than Lin Feng. Besides, the pressure of Hu Qiong’s battle axe striking Lin Feng felt like a mountain crashing down on him, and it even split the ground beneath him.
