Conquer the game world

Chapter 133 Exposed
Although Ye Feng's sudden attack caught the scarred man off guard, the scarred man was, after all, a rogue martial artist who had encountered dangerous situations many times. Therefore, although the scarred man panicked this time, he did not lose his composure.

Don't be fooled by the scarred man's seemingly peaceful conversation with Ye Feng, proposing a reconciliation. This was merely the scarred man's way of being wary of Ye Feng's strength and wanting to avoid any conflict with him. The scarred man himself is a ruthless and decisive individual.

The look of surprise in the scarred man's eyes was fleeting, quickly turning into a ferocious expression.

Under these circumstances, the scarred man knew that there was no chance of escaping now. Since that was the case, he might as well take a gamble and maybe there would still be a chance.

Both were spirit-type martial artists. Although Ye Feng was incredibly powerful, the scarred man firmly believed that Ye Feng was at least injured, and besides, there were two of them on his side.

"Second brother, let's go together!" the scarred man shouted, his aura surging, and the large knife in his hand emitted a series of alarming sounds, as if it were about to shatter.

The broadsword used by the scarred man was only a low-grade Xuan-level weapon. For a rogue cultivator, the price of weapons was often beyond their means. In order to spend more purple gold coins on purchasing cultivation pills and other supplies, rogue cultivators generally did not use very good weapons.

The scarred man was using a low-grade Xuan-level broadsword, which Ye Feng looked down on, but it was considered quite good among rogue martial artists. Many rogue martial artists were still using ordinary-grade weapons.

The scarred man's veins bulged all over his body, and his low-grade Xuan-level weapon seemed unable to withstand such a massive amount of true energy, as if it would be destroyed at any moment.

However, the scarred man stopped injecting his true energy at the right moment, because he no longer had time to build up his strength, as Ye Feng's attack had already arrived in front of him.

"drink"

The scarred man roared angrily, ready to fight to the death. He didn't defend himself and met Ye Feng's attack head-on.

As a martial artist who frequently battles magical beasts, the scarred man's fighting style has always been to attack against attack. In the eyes of these martial artists who live on the edge of a knife, defense is a sign of cowardice.

"bang"

The scarred man used the face of his broadsword to meet Ye Feng's Crimson Fire Sword.

Ye Feng had already prepared for this attack, while the scarred man acted hastily. In addition, the quality of the weapon in the scarred man's hand was far inferior to Ye Feng's Crimson Fire Sword.

The scarred man saw a powerful energy emanating from the broadsword, and he was struck by this force. He felt a sharp pain in his chest, a sensation that almost made him faint on the spot.

However, the scarred man gritted his teeth and persevered, knowing that fainting at this moment would mean the end.

However, the scarred man then witnessed an even more unbelievable scene: the broadsword in his hand was actually shattered by Ye Feng's Crimson Fire Sword.

That's right, it was chopped up, not cut in half, but broken into small pieces less than a centimeter in size.

This completely overturned the scarred man's understanding. Generally speaking, if a martial artist's weapon is inferior to that of their opponent, or if there is a difference in strength, it is indeed possible for the weapon to be cut off.

But that was just a cut; at most, the weapon would be split in two. The scarred man had never even heard of a weapon being shattered into such a state.

At the same time, this attack not only shattered the scarred man's broadsword, but also dispersed the power within his body. The scarred man crashed heavily to the ground, and under such circumstances, he had no way to regroup his power for the time being.

Facing the scarred man who was already powerless to fight back, Ye Feng only needed to swing his sword once more to easily kill him.

"what!"

At this moment, the fat man rushed towards Ye Feng. The fat man was not as strong as the scarred man, and his mind was not as decisive as the scarred man's. Everything happened too suddenly. If it weren't for the scarred man's angry roar, the fat man probably wouldn't have reacted yet.

Once he came to his senses, the fat man swung his weapon at Ye Feng, hoping to take advantage of Ye Feng's lack of momentum after using his martial arts to defeat him and rescue the scarred man from Ye Feng.

Facing the fat man charging towards him, Ye Feng simply smiled mysteriously.

The smile was seen by the scarred man lying on the ground, and he felt that the smile was as terrifying as death itself.

Before the fat man could be reminded, Ye Feng raised his hand and took out his second sword, the Thunder Spirit Sword.

"A Tier 1 weapon." Upon seeing this, the scarred man gasped, finally realizing that they had messed with someone they shouldn't have today.

While fighting the scarred man, Ye Feng was also paying attention to the fat man's actions. The moment the fat man made a move, Ye Feng reacted.

Ye Feng had already concealed the power of his other sword during the initial exchange, and now he was taking it out.

Facing the fat man charging at him, Ye Feng simply swung the Thunder Spirit Sword in his hand.

Ye Feng did not use any martial arts techniques; he simply infused his own true essence into the Thunder Spirit Sword and then utilized the Thunder Spirit Sword's inherent lightning power.

Nevertheless, a powerful bolt of lightning roared out from the Thunder Spirit Sword, and wherever the blue-green lightning passed, sparks flew in the air due to friction.

Caught off guard by the blue-green lightning, the fat martial artist was caught off guard as the lightning entered his body.

Although the fat martial artist's body was far stronger than that of an ordinary person, he still could not resist the power of the lightning.

The power of lightning wreaked havoc within the fat man's body, leaving him feeling completely paralyzed and unable to move.

The fat man has been temporarily subdued by Ye Feng, and the scarred man's true energy has also been defeated by Ye Feng. At this moment, their lives are completely in Ye Feng's hands.

Ye Feng kicked the scarred man who was lying on the ground in the chest. Although Ye Feng was only using his physical strength, the scarred man's injured body could not withstand the kick and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"I advise you not to try any tricks," Ye Feng said coldly. Just now, Ye Feng noticed that the scarred man was secretly regrouping his true energy. Of course, Ye Feng would not let him continue like this. The kick he just delivered was more about dispersing the scarred man's regrouping true energy.

"Tell me, what exactly do you want to do in the Southern Wilderness?" Ye Feng asked.

Why so many martial artists flocked to the Southern Wilderness was something Ye Feng needed to figure out. As for what he had overheard the two saying about reporting for rewards, it was obviously related to Yan Kai, so Ye Feng didn't bother to ask.

"Hmph, kill me if you want, don't fucking waste your breath on me." The scarred man said fiercely, knowing that even if he told the truth today, he would probably be in grave danger.

"Oh, really?" Ye Feng said with a playful expression.

Ye Feng had anticipated that the scarred man was a ruthless person, but he also had his own methods for dealing with ruthless people.

With a stomp on the scarred man's right hand, Ye Feng shattered the bones in his right hand.

"Ah!" The scarred man let out a miserable scream. Even though he was ruthless, this was still a pain that the scarred man could not bear.

Ye Feng continued his actions, stepping on the scarred man's left hand. At this moment, Ye Feng was torturing the scarred man madly.

Having nearly died in a sneak attack, Ye Feng harbored a deep resentment. Coupled with Yan Kai's attempt to lure these people against him with promises of profit, Ye Feng showed no mercy. Finally, the scarred man succumbed to the unbearable pain and lost consciousness.

Facing the unconscious scarred man, Ye Feng swung his Crimson Fire Sword and severed the scarred man's head without hesitation. The flying head landed right in front of the fat martial artist.

The fat martial artist was clearly far less mentally resilient than the scarred man. He was already drenched in cold sweat from witnessing the previous scene, and now, seeing the severed head lying in front of him, he was trembling with fear.

The fat martial artist was much weaker than the scarred man, a fact Ye Feng had already noticed. That's why he deliberately went all out against the scarred man in order to intimidate the fat martial artist.

Seeing the fat man trembling with fear, Ye Feng wore a sinister smile, knowing that he had achieved his goal.

"Now you can tell me, right?" Ye Feng said coldly, looking at the fat man.

The fat man looked up at Ye Feng. At this moment, the smile on Ye Feng's face looked to the fat man like the smile of death. No, if he could die quickly, the fat man would think it would be a good choice. He was really frightened by the scene just now.

Under such circumstances, the fat man dared not have the slightest thought of resistance. As soon as Ye Feng spoke, the fat man immediately told him everything he knew, afraid that if he spoke too slowly, he would suffer the same treatment as the scarred man.

"Oh, I see. Then you can all go die." After hearing the fat man's words, Ye Feng finally understood the situation in the Southern Wilderness.

With a single sword strike, Ye Feng killed the fat man. Naturally, he wouldn't show mercy to anyone who wanted to harm him. Of course, Ye Feng wasn't mentally unstable. Now that he had obtained the information he wanted, he naturally wouldn't waste time torturing the fat man in front of him.

The moment Ye Feng swung his sword, the fat man didn't instinctively feel fear. Instead, he felt a sense of relief. He was truly afraid, and dying like this was a good choice. These were the fat man's last thoughts as the things before him disappeared.

Facing the two corpses before him, Ye Feng felt nothing at all. When Ye Feng first transmigrated to this world, he felt somewhat uncomfortable seeing corpses. However, this world where martial arts reigned supreme gradually numbed him. It was a world where the strong preyed on the weak, and if he didn't kill his enemies, he would be the one to die.

After killing the fat man and the scarred man, Ye Feng turned around and returned to the tree trunk where the wind bird was as if nothing had happened. Before leaving, Ye Feng turned his head and glanced at the large knife in the scarred man's hand, which he had just shattered.

Although this broadsword was of little use to Ye Feng, it should still be quite valuable. It was a real pity that Ye Feng had shattered it. Ye Feng didn't find anything else of value on the two of them either. The fat martial artist's weapon was even a common weapon, which Ye Feng didn't bother to look at.

Ye Feng shattered the greatsword by using his powerful true energy, forcibly destroying it from its already strained state, which is why the greatsword was broken.

Returning to the tree trunk to continue circulating his energy to heal his injuries, Ye Feng's previous series of movements, though seemingly effortless, were actually quite serious due to his severe injuries. Forcing his true energy to unleash martial arts techniques was not easy.

If the scarred man is properly prepared and teams up with the fat man, even if he is no match for Ye Feng, Ye Feng probably won't be able to stop him from escaping.

This is why Ye Feng suddenly launched an attack. Ye Feng was aware of his current physical condition, so he had no choice but to strike first.

"Fortunately, the main purpose of this group of martial artists entering the Southern Wilderness is to find rare treasures. As long as I am careful, I don't think I will encounter too much trouble," Ye Feng thought to himself.

As for the legendary treasures of the Southern Wilderness, Ye Feng didn't think about them for the time being. Given his injuries and Yan Kai's pursuit, Ye Feng estimated that he didn't have much of a chance to compete for the treasures. Besides, these kinds of treasures depended more on luck.

Of course, this does not mean that Ye Feng will give up on the treasure. Ye Feng released the undead rabbit again, partly to keep an eye on the surroundings and be careful that other martial artists do not approach, and partly to find the exact location of the treasure. If there is an opportunity, Ye Feng would not mind intervening.

What Ye Feng needs to do most now is to recover his strength as soon as possible.

After taking the healing medicine from the red bottle, Ye Feng's injuries began to heal rapidly, and he also entered a state of cultivation.

Shortly after the scarred man and the fat man died, a faint light flickered within their bodies. This light was so faint that no one noticed it.

In another part of the Southern Wilderness, Yan Kai and the others were resting. The thirteen protectors were divided into two groups to take turns keeping watch at night, while the others were cultivating. Under such circumstances, even if danger occurred, everyone could react quickly.

Yan Kai was currently circulating his energy to heal his injuries. It must be said that the healing medicine he had was of a very high grade. Yan Kai's condition had improved a lot. Even though he had been seriously injured before, Yan Kai's injuries had now healed by about 70 or 80 percent, and he was able to fight again.

"Boss, something's happened. Two of the martial artists we sent out are dead," a protector said in a deep voice, waking Yan Kai, who was recovering from his injuries.

“Monsters roam freely in the Southern Wilderness, so it’s not surprising that they’re dead. Were these two eaten by monsters?” the protector continued to ask.

"Which two people died?" Yan Kai asked in return.

“It’s that fat guy and his older brother, the scarred man,” the protector replied.

Yan Kai asked several questions in a row before continuing, "Wake everyone up; we're preparing to act tonight."

"Well, boss, these two probably just died at the hands of magical beasts. Nighttime is dangerous enough, and these two were running around like that. We don't need to risk our lives tonight just because of their deaths," the protector said, puzzled.

"That scarred man was quite strong, and he knew this Southern Wilderness very well. I absolutely do not believe that he died at the hands of a magical beast. Moreover, the fact that the two of them died at almost the same time means that encountering such a powerful magical beast is not impossible, but the probability is too low," Yan Kai analyzed.

“Therefore, given this situation, I estimate that the two of them probably didn’t encounter a magical beast, but rather Ye Feng.” Yan Kai said coldly at the end, then turned to look at the protector, “Any more questions? If not, hurry up and set off. We can’t let him get away this time.”

“Yes,” the protector replied.

After listening to Yan Kai's analysis, everyone agreed that it made sense. Although these guardians were now under Yan Kai's command, their actual status was no lower than Yan Kai's. Therefore, if Yan Kai's analysis had not been so correct in everyone's eyes, probably no one would have been willing to move around in the southern wilderness overrun by magical beasts at night.

This is also one of the important reasons why the Yan family head sent Yan Kai. Yan Kai is quick-witted and good at scheming against others. For example, after arriving in the Southern Wilderness, he took advantage of the martial artists who flocked to the Southern Wilderness and quickly found Ye Feng's whereabouts. If it were these people who were to search, who knows how long it would take. The key is that after witnessing Ye Feng's strength, these people dare not act alone now.

Of course, another reason is that Yan Kai is very strong. As a late-stage Spirit God, Yan Kai is already the strongest martial artist in the Yan family, and his strength is comparable to that of the Yan family head.

"Thirteen Guardians, activate the hidden formation. This time, we'll catch him off guard," Yan Kai said in a deep voice.

The concealment array can hide a martial artist's aura and even use visual illusions to hide their figure. The principle is similar to Ye Feng's stealth, except that this concealment is easier to detect. If a martial artist concentrates their true energy to observe carefully, it is easy to be discovered.

Although the night was terrifying, there was no danger as long as one hid. Yan Kai did this because he didn't want to provoke any powerful magical beasts, and of course, he didn't want to be discovered by Ye Feng.

Unbeknownst to Yan Kai, his cautious action once again evaded Ye Feng's necromancer rabbit's sight.

Ye Feng hid in the shadow of a tree trunk and did not encounter any other martial artists or magical beasts that bothered him throughout the night. At the crack of dawn, Ye Feng exited his cultivation state. After a night of healing, Ye Feng's injuries had basically been fully recovered.

After waking up, Ye Feng was preparing to look around for any weak magical beasts or wild animals, intending to kill one and bring it back for breakfast.

However, after getting up, Ye Feng instinctively felt a sense of danger. Ye Feng did not know where the danger came from, but he just instinctively felt it.

Ye Feng quickly gathered his true energy to explore his surroundings, trying to find out where the sense of danger was coming from.

"Hmph, you've found out? Too bad it's too late." Yan Kai appeared not far away with a smug look on his face. At the same time, the thirteen protectors also appeared. They were already standing in thirteen different positions, surrounding Ye Feng in the very center.

"Not good!" Ye Feng understood what the thirteen people were doing. He quickly found a direction and ran wildly. He had to escape their blockade, otherwise he would be in danger if he got trapped.
