Rebirth of the God Hunter Legend

Chapter 227 Forced Lock
In my hometown, there was a small tavern with an extremely simple design, occupying no more than two rooms.

Far from the hypocritical hustle and bustle of the prosperous area, this place is a haven for the purest joys and sorrows of ordinary people. Even though it is located in a corner, it has a liveliness that is no less than that of the bustling city.

Seeing the NPC passersby standing there dumbfounded at the entrance, Ling Chuan openly deactivated his riding mode, set Kama to stay put, and then pushed open the gate of his hometown.

call--

The virtual device's environmental simulation was taken to the extreme, and the scent mixture instantly created a warm, pungent aroma reminiscent of strong liquor and the enticing fragrance of meat.

Sincere and unrestrained laughter filled the air, and the clinking of glasses echoed continuously. Looking around, the small shop was already packed with customers enjoying the night.

"Hey sir, welcome to our shop. May I ask how many of you are?"

Unlike the restaurants in the city, the hotel in the hometown is not staffed by sweet and charming young ladies, but by a plump, kind-faced middle-aged woman who is the owner. Although she is not particularly attractive, her kind smile makes people feel the warmth of home.

"No, I'm not here for a meal, I'm here to find someone." With a polite smile, Ling Chuan revealed his intentions, his gaze naturally turning to the solitary figure in black robes in the corner. He was facing the wall, with his back to the entire tavern hall. There was no one else standing beside him or in front of him. With such an aura, who else could it be but the God of Slaughter, Lu Feng?

The proprietress replied, "Oh, you're looking for someone. Okay, young man, please make yourself at home. If you need anything, just let me know."

Ling Chuan smiled and nodded, walking straight to the corner. Along the way, he attracted the curious glances of some regular customers. Especially when he approached the man in black robes, the chatter among the customers in the shop became much quieter, and their gazes towards him changed from curiosity to surprise, and then to worry.

Ling Chuan didn't seem to care much. He stepped over the invisible barrier created by the black-robed figure and sat down opposite him without any hesitation.

This action completely silenced the tavern, and the black-robed figure who had been drinking silently with his head down slowly raised his head, revealing a pair of empty, lifeless, dark eyes hidden under his hat, like those of a walking corpse.

"You're sitting in the wrong seat."

The icy voice was like a biting wind, chilling to the bone and freezing the soul, as if it could freeze the warm atmosphere of the entire tavern.

[Ding] System notification: Your actions have been regarded as provocation by [Lu Feng]. Please correct your behavior immediately, or you will pay an irreparable price.

[Ding] System notification: Your actions have been considered a provocation by [Lu Feng]...

[Ding] System notification:
A series of bright red system alerts followed, raising the danger level of the person in front of them to the peak, and they went off three times in a row!
Uh, as expected of a god-level combat power at the [Peak of the Human Race], even though he had experienced it firsthand in his previous life, the powerful aura rendered by the system still made his scalp tingle.

"No, this is the seat I want to sit in."

Unfortunately, the numbness was a matter of the scalp, while feigning composure was a matter of the face and body. So, instead of heeding the system's warning, he reached for the wine jug opposite him, took a wine cup, and poured himself a drink.

Lu Feng remained expressionless, picked up his cup, and said indifferently, "Do you know? Since I became famous, countless self-righteous people have tried to prove their courage to me. In the end, without exception, they all died at my hands, including their relatives and friends."

[Ding] System notification: Your actions have been completely disliked by [Lu Feng]. [Lu Feng]'s favorability towards you has decreased by 100%. You have been regarded as a target for elimination by [Lu Feng]. From this moment on, the [Assassin Guild] will permanently hunt you down. This hunting effect cannot be overridden, dispelled, purified, or removed.

...They're bold and arrogant, but...!
“I know, after all, you are the supreme god of death. If you didn’t have this ability, you wouldn’t be qualified to sit in this position.”

Ling Chuan secretly turned off the taste simulation, calmly took a sip of wine, and his dislike for alcohol had never changed in both his lifetimes.

"Knowing who I am, you still dare to be arrogant in front of me. It seems you have nothing to fear." Ling Chuan chuckled. Indeed, if he didn't have a life-saving talisman, how could he dare to act presumptuously in front of a human god who was several reincarnation realms ahead of him?

"what do you think?"

Ling Chuan lowered his eyes slightly and raised the corners of his mouth. His nonchalant demeanor made even himself want to punch him.

"Hmph, too bad, I'm not interested in what you rely on."

With a cold laugh, Lu Feng's eyes flashed with a sinister light. In that instant, Ling Chuan slammed his wine glass down and shouted, "Lu Han!!"

Squeak...

A strong wind blew past his ears, and a few particles of starlight, along with a sharp scratch on his cheek and a tuft of black hair, disappeared into the air. A thin cut appeared on the wall behind Ling Chuan, gradually deepening as it went up, severing the wall and tearing through the void.

Rumble rumble rumble ——————!
Outside, the entire Water God County started from the commoner district, passed through the bustling district, and finally stopped at the water curtain barrier in mid-air, with a series of violent roars that lasted for a long time!
Immediately, countless houses began to tilt from halfway up the city, huge boulders collapsed from the bustling area, and dust filled the air, obliterating large areas. A local announcement suddenly rang out.

[Ding] Regional Announcement: Urgent notice, some areas of the main city have been damaged by an "unknown force". Please temporarily avoid the red areas on the map. It is expected to be repaired within half an hour.

[Ding] Regional Announcement...

[Ding] Regional Announcement...

……

"..."

Ling Chuan glanced at his remaining 5% health and his heart pounded wildly.

Holy crap! This is ridiculous! He was so close, so very close to dying in the main city!

In his previous life, he knew that Lu Feng was an unconventional NPC. It was difficult to control his thoughts when talking to him, and it was basically impossible to win his favor. The reason he was able to gain his trust was entirely due to the token of the "Holding the Jade".

Unfortunately, that thing is located in the level 100 [Desolate Mountain Tomb], and he doesn't have the resources to acquire it now; however, he has to learn Lu Feng's skills, so he can only bite the bullet and interact with him.

In his view, if it was just to gain trust and create interaction, then no token was needed. As long as he knew the subsequent plot, he could be qualified to interact. Who knew that as soon as he habitually guided him, this guy started a fight!
Furthermore, it's clear from the system announcement that this guy possesses extremely high privilege limits! At the very least, he can kill people and destroy buildings in the main city without being held accountable by the system or the main city! And he even calls it an "unknown force"—how shameless!

With this thought in mind, Ling Chuan stared at the other person again, only to find that the other person had not even put down the hand holding the cup, and the posture was still that of drinking!

Holy crap! Is this what a pro is like? He doesn't even have an attack stance! Let alone any recovery animation!

Wow!

Just as he was secretly complaining, Lu Feng moved! He suddenly stood up, swept his long arm, and Ling Chuan felt dizzy. Then he felt a weight on his abdomen, and when he came to his senses, he was already being carried on Lu Feng's shoulder!
[Ding] System notification: [Lu Feng] has used [Forced Lock] on you. Due to the huge difference in level between the two parties, you are now in a [Imprisoned] state. Under this state, you cannot use any operation commands. Furthermore, because [Lu Feng] possesses unparalleled noble privileges in the Water God City, the system will not pursue the responsibility for forcibly locking you, but will provide you with certain compensation after the process is completed.
