Chapter 46: I’ll Kill You with My Glare

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Earlier, when Luo Feng left the institution, he had willed the wandering meridian dragons within his body to go dormant. Due to this, Luo Feng had looked no different from a martial artist in the later phase of the Iron Bone Boundary.

The moment the assailant spoke, Luo Feng immediately took out his Tiger Essence Saber and held it in his hands.

The martial artist in green before him exuded a thick veil of vital energy that assaulted all five of Luo Feng’s major organs. The martial artist had a sharp gaze, strong enough to form a sense of intimidation.

Luo Feng could tell that his opponent’s cultivation base was higher than his and that his opponent was of the middle phase of the Heroic Boundary. Moreover, Luo Feng could also sense a hint of murderous intent lingering on the martial artist…

“My name isn’t important. All you need to know is that I’m here to claim your life.”

As the martial artist in green stood on the field of grass, the corner of his lips curled into a snicker as he maintained an icy gaze at Luo Feng.

Luo Feng responded with an icy gaze of his own and stated, “I don’t seem to know you.”

“Hehe, don’t you understand the simple concept of plundering and killing?” the martial artist in green said as he inched closer to Luo Feng.

Woosh…Woosh…

In that instant, two other martial artists appeared, and unlike the first assailant, the two were clothed in black robes instead. With that, the trio had formed a triangular formation and surrounded Luo Feng.

‘They wish to surround me and kill me?’

After taking a quick look at the assailants in black, Luo Feng pondered for a moment while raising his eyebrows. A moment later, a cold grin appeared on his face.

“I see.”

Luo Feng nodded and turned towards the martial artist in green. With a pitiful smile, he shook his head and said, “It’s a shame that…”

“What’s a shame?” The green-clothed martial artist was now curious about Luo Feng, as he remained fearless in the face of their encirclement.

“It’s a shame that you would squander your life to rob others.” Luo Feng pointed his Tiger Essence Saber at the green-clothed martial artist with a delighted expression on his face.

Since the martial artists in black were only in the later phase of the Iron Bone Boundary, Luo Feng had paid them no heed.

The only one that Luo Feng had to pay attention to was the martial artist in green. However, that was all he needed to do. After all, at his current strength, there was no longer any need to worry about those who were in the middle phase of the Heroic Boundary.

Upon hearing Luo Feng’s words, the assailants were immediately dumbfounded.

Without regard for the trio’s reactions, Luo Feng stroked his ears, and after looking at the black-maned horse, he declared, “However, since I’m feeling pretty good today, I might consider sparing you guys if you tell me who’s behind your actions…”

“Hahaha….”

The trio burst in laughter.

“This brat has probably been scared witless by our big brother…” One of the middle-aged martial artists in black laughed while pointing at Luo Feng.

“Even if he’s not insane, my guess is that he’s close to it. Hah, a brat who’s capable of speaking such nonsense could never take a single blow from me!”

Even the green-clothed martial artist could not help but smirk. With an unconcerned expression on his face, the martial artist in green began to approach Luo Feng.

Luo Feng understood his current situation quite well. Although his opponents’ Light Body martial arts might complicate matters slightly, the fact still remained that they were only of the later phase of the Iron Bone Boundary. As such, they stood no chance against Luo Feng.

“Attack!”

The martial artists in black were around 170 feet away from Luo Feng when suddenly, they let loose a battle cry and charged towards Luo Feng with their longswords.

It was clear from their actions that Luo Feng’s assailants were seasoned in the killing arts. Although they did not think much of Luo Feng, they did not let their guard down.

Woosh!

To the duo in the later phase of the Iron Bone Boundary, a distance of 170 feet was but a small matter for the duo.

In a blink of an eye, the two had appeared before Luo Feng with smug smiles on their faces.

“Now, die!”

Woosh! Woosh! Woosh…

Flashes of the duo’s longswords could be seen as their murderous intent clumped into a thick veil. A moment later, their net of sword slashes had completely blocked off Luo Feng’s path.

The duo’s objective was rather simple. They were forcing Luo Feng towards the martial artist in green!

Meanwhile, the martial artist in green had already paused his steps. With his longsword in hand, he patiently waited for Luo Feng to inch closer to him, and when the time was right, he would thrust out his sword in a fatal move.

However, the ensuing scene had surprised Luo Feng’s assailants.

Despite the thick veil of sword light rushing at him, not only did Luo Feng not fall back, he had retaliated with his own sword moves!

“Could it be that he has already accepted his doom? Or could it be that…”

A doubtful expression formed on the green-clothed martial artist’s face as he observed Luo Feng’s fearless expression. An ominous premonition began to bubble up within him.

Sensing that Luo Feng and the duo were fast-approaching him, the martial artist in green shook his head and chuckled to himself and stated, “What am I worried about? It’s just a brat in the later phase of the Iron Bone Boundary. There’s no way he’ll be a match for two martial artists of the same cultivation.”

The martial artist in green heaved a sigh of relief as he was assured that Luo Feng would surely die. He then observed Luo Feng with a casual expression and waited for the moment to unleash his lethal slashes.

Woosh!

Luo Feng rushed towards the martial artists in black and slashed at them without using any martial arts.

ROAR…

A furious roar of a tiger could be heard as Luo Feng swung his Tiger Essence Saber towards the duo.

Clang…

The blades collided and a mere instant later, the rain-like veil of sword lights was instantly shattered. Worse still, the longsword belonging to one of the assailants immediately broke into pieces. Nevertheless, the Tiger Essence Saber’s momentum had not been reduced in the slightest, and soon after, it howled at the martial artist in black as it slashed down at him!

Plop!

The martial artist in black was sliced right in the middle of his body, and with his eyes still blinking in disbelief, he crashed onto the ground, face-first.

Each of Luo Feng’s casual strikes now held the strength of a Heavy Mountain Blade Technique at the Complete State. In other words, it was akin to a Yellow Rank Middle Class technique! Combined with Luo Feng’s extraordinary physique, Luo Feng’s slash had already surpassed a Yellow Rank Middle Class technique!

As such, there was no way that the Iron Bone Boundary duo had ever stood a chance against Luo Feng.

“How can this happen?! What kind of monster are you?”

The other martial artist in black was now smeared in warm blood. After a brief pause, as if he was staring at a monster, the martial artist in black turned furious and roared, “I’ll murder you!”

Woosh!

Like a frenzied devil, the martial artist in black then clenched his teeth and unleashed a storm of sword attacks at Luo Feng.

“Chen Er! Stop!”

Seeing that Chen Er was attacking Luo Feng without thought, the green-clothed martial artist angrily chastised Chen Er.

Through Luo Feng’s attack earlier, the green-clothed martial artist had immediately determined that there was more to Luo Feng than meets the eye!

Luo Feng’s attacks had seemed plain at first glance, so much so that even the green-clothed martial artist had suspected nothing at first. However, after giving more thought to it, the martial artist in green had suddenly realized the terror in Luo Feng’s attack!

Although the martial artist in green could not tell what technique Luo Feng was using, the fact that Luo Feng was able to unleash such a terrifying amount of force had immediately led the martial artist to determine that Luo Feng had cultivated his technique to an extremely high level!

Alas, the martial artist in green’s words had fallen on deaf ears as the black-robed martial artist had already lost his common sense. The black-robed martial artist ignored the green-clothed martial artist’s words and unleashed a chain of attacks at Luo Feng.

Despite this frenzied chain of attacks lobbed at him, Luo Feng remained as steady as a mountain. He retained his usual air of nonchalance and responded with light-looking attacks of his own.

Crack!

Luo Feng’s attack had shattered the martial artist’s sword light, and after retracting the tip of his saber slightly, Luo Feng launched a diagonal strike.

“Argh!!”

The black-robed martial artist’s left arm was completely chopped off by Luo Feng’s Tiger Essence Saber, and fresh blood began to gush out of it.

Without sparing a second glance, Luo Feng launched yet another slash, and this time, the air had been compressed to its limit, resulting in the release of an ear-splitting sound!

“Ahhh! Don’t kill me!”

The remaining black-robed martial artist was scared witless and let out a shrill cry resembling that of a woman. While clamping his left arm that was still gushing out blood, the martial artist began to fall back.

Just as Luo Feng was about to go after the martial artist, an idea sparked in his mind and Luo Feng curled his lips into a merciless smile. He fixed his gaze onto the rapidly retreating martial artist, and suddenly, he launched a terrifying aura directly towards the martial artist. The coldness of Luo Feng’s aura instantly pierced through the martial artist’s soul!

“DIE!”

Luo Feng glared coldly at the black-clothed martial artist as he spat out the merciless words!

Plunge!

The fleeing martial artist contorted into a hideous expression, his body violently shuddered as if he had just experienced something terrifying. A moment later, he coughed up pint after pint of blood, and with a crash, he collapsed onto the ground, dead!

“It really worked, huh…”

Luo Feng paused briefly as he observed the now dead martial artist.

His original intention was to test the strength of his aura, but he had never expected it to scare the black-robed martial artist to death.

Naturally, Luo Feng was also well aware that at his current level, there was no way that he was actually able to kill a person with his aura alone. Moreover, his target was also a martial artist in the later phase of the Iron Bone Boundary.

The only reason Luo Feng had succeeded was due to the wounds that the black-robed martial artist had suffered earlier. Due to that and coupled with the crippling fear that he was feeling, the combined factors had made it possible for Luo Feng to kill him.

“You lil brat! You hid your talent quite well!”

The green-clothed martial artist rushed forward, and the moment he laid eyes on his dead comrades, his gaze grew cold. Through clenched teeth, he shouted at Luo Feng, “To think that you’re in the apex of the Heroic Boundary’s early phase, I must’ve observed you wrongly!”

“Hehe, it’s too late to regret it now.” With the Tiger Essence Saber hoisted above his shoulder, Luo Feng chuckled plainly.

“Hmph! Lil punk, it’s too early to celebrate! I, Su Laohu have never feared anything, and I’ll make sure I’ll have your head by the end of today!”

The green-clothed martial artist’s words were extremely cold. He never expected his carefully-crafted, foolproof plan to go sour that quickly. Moreover, he had even lost two of his subordinates! He was about to take out all his frustrations on Luo Feng.

Woosh!

Su Laohu waved his hands, and in an instant, he went on to retrieve the two one-foot long packages behind his back. With a vigorous swing, the packages burst open, revealing a mysterious type of weapon.

It was a pair of one-foot long iron claws with five blades on each claw. They were slightly curved and looked no different from iron hooks!

“This weapon…”

Luo Feng furrowed his brows at the sight of the Iron Claws on Su Laohu’s hands.

An idea flashed across his mind, but he did not manage to grab a hold of it.

Seeing the distraught look on Luo Feng’s face, Su Laohu assumed that Luo Feng was terrified of his weapon. As such, he began to cackle pompously.

“Hahaha… Lil brat, do you fear me now?! This is my signature weapon, the Soul-snaring Silver Hooks! There have already been 55 people who died because of this weapon, and you’ll be the 56th!”

“The Soul-snaring Silver Hooks… Oh, so you’re that infamous Nocturnal Tiger!” Luo Feng narrowed his eyes.

He had once heard of Nocturnal Tiger in a restaurant, as Nocturnal Tiger was quite a powerhouse within Green Edge Town.

Su Laohu had originally cultivated sword techniques, but ever since he obtained an Upper Class martial art called the Crescent Moon Claw Technique, he had converted to using claw techniques instead.

Naturally, the thing that brought him to fame was not his abilities, but rather, his despicable actions.

The man would do anything for money, and due to his shady dealings, he was given the title, Nocturnal Tiger!

“Since you’ve already heard of my title, why don’t you obediently submit to me! I’ll also confess that I’m the one who harmed your beautiful mentor. She was just lucky enough to escape from me last time, but you, on the other hand, will not share the same luck!”

Su Laohu cackled. He was completely oblivious to Luo Feng’s grim expression.
