Chapter 16: I Will Kill You

“Hu Feng, you are seeking death, absolutely seeking death!”

Looking at the ignorant Hu Feng and the nun Theresa, whose face was flushed, Urbato laughed in extreme anger. “Originally, I prepared to cut your throat with a single knife and leave your body in the wilderness. Now, I decide to spare your dog life for a while. I will beat you two shameless lovers half to death, then strip you naked and drag you back to Wuhai Town to hang at the gate of the Monastery. Let everyone on the Wasteland see how lewd and shameless the so-called holy Divine Officials and nuns are. At that time, without me acting, your Divine Court itself will descend a severe punishment, making you two wish you were dead!”

In his anger, Urbato tore off the gauze on his face, staring viciously at Hu Feng and the nun Theresa. His face was twisted, more hideous than ever before. Seeing his favorite dream lover being humiliated by Hu Feng right in front of him, his lungs nearly exploded with rage! In his fury, he completely failed to notice a cold, gloomy wind suddenly sweep through the woods.

“Go, capture them both for me. Beat the man to death, and strip the woman naked and tie her up!” Urbato roared loudly in exasperation, his eyes bloodshot.

He was just a mere Magic Apprentice; no matter how outstanding his talent, he couldn’t be that amazing. Last time at the War Soul Hall, if Hu Feng hadn’t suddenly drunk a whole bottle of Dragon Blood Essence to surge his power , he would have been beaten half to death long ago.

Urbato had always held a grudge about his crushing defeat at the War Soul Hall last time. He didn’t believe Hu Feng could escape from his palm this time. Now, he was followed by a full hundred elite warriors, possessing an absolute advantage in strength. Even if Hu Feng drank another bottle of Dragon Blood, he could still easily crush him into meat paste!

Urbato was confident of victory. While laughing loudly, he pondered how to humiliate Hu Feng severely, looking at the disheveled nun Theresa like a hungry wolf. After his loud roar, he prepared to enjoy the pleasure of seeing Hu Feng beaten by a group. Unexpectedly, after waiting for a while, the ferocious warriors behind him remained motionless, only the sound of teeth chattering could be heard.

“Mario, do you want to die? Make your move!”

Urbato turned around abruptly in rage, preparing to slap his personal guard Mario, who was standing behind him. Suddenly, he screamed in terror, his hair standing on end. Under the hazy moonlight, he saw countless Skeleton Soldiers appear behind the group at some point, more and more of them, silently surrounding the entire woods!

Gloomy wind, waning moon, undead souls…

A cold wind blew past. Looking at the countless Undead Army around him, Urbato’s hair stood on end, and he swallowed with difficulty. Remembering his encounter at the Lich Castle last time, his heart moved suddenly. He turned to point at Hu Feng and cried out, “Hu Feng, you… you are a Necromancer, who sneaked into the holy Monastery with the help of Teacher Ophelia?”

“Smart, but… realizing this now, it is already too late!”

Looking at the terrified Urbato, Hu Feng smiled faintly. “The Wasteland is so big, filled with unknown dry bones everywhere. Tonight, it seems there will be over a hundred more nameless graves. Urbato, you are smart, but you guessed one thing wrong. I am not just a Necromancer, but a generation’s Lich King, the first Lich King on the Wasteland to step into the Divine Domain Realm. Dying by my hand, you and the warriors beside you should feel supreme honor!”

Hu Feng was calm and composed. As he spoke, he took out the icy Dark Magic Pen from the Dark Ring. The pen tip was sharp as he drew a large character for ‘Fog’ in the Void. Instantly, the entire dark forest was shrouded in thick black mist. The many warriors who sensed something was wrong had no time to retreat before their lower bodies were tightly grabbed by pairs of skeleton hands suddenly emerging from the ground. In an instant, they were drowned by the tidal wave of the Undead Army.

After long periods of fighting and sweeping, the combat power of the Undead Army became stronger and stronger. In front of the tidal wave of undead, the hundred-plus men Urbato brought could not make a single splash!

“Morgan Essence Blood, Black Eagle Guardian!”

At the critical moment of life and death, Urbato suddenly shouted. Regardless of everything, he cut his wrist with a knife and frantically dripped the essence blood from his body onto the Demon Hunter Card. The originally dim Demon Hunter Card suddenly burst with black light, rushing out a Black Eagle with a wingspan of over ten meters. After a long cry, it grabbed Urbato, who was about to be drowned by the Undead Army, and flew high with a ‘whoosh’, heading straight for Wuhai Town not far away.

The Demon Hunter Card could be said to be an essential item for every Demon Hunter going out hunting. It could store items like maps and weapons, and at most carry seven powerful War Pets. Some Demon Hunters themselves might not be very powerful, but after taming a few high-level creatures, no one in a general Settlement dared to provoke them.

Urbato only had one War Pet, which was not many, but its combat power was extraordinary, standing at the peak among fifth-level creatures. Over the years, relying on his family’s power and this Black Eagle’s protection, he ran wild within the Settlements. Unfortunately, this time he kicked an iron plate and met Hu Feng, the Lich King!

“The will of the Lich King is an unquestionable divine oracle. Urbato, you cannot escape. I said you must die here tonight, so naturally, you won’t live until dawn!”

Looking at the Black Eagle flying high, a cold light flashed in Hu Feng’s eyes. Stirring the massive Magic Power within his body, the Soul Crystal in his mind suddenly contracted, then abruptly expanded. The Dark Magic Pen in his hand danced like a dragon and phoenix, drawing a large character for ‘Kill’ in the Void. Just one stroke nearly emptied the power in his body. Instantly, the wind and clouds in the sky changed color, and a hideous, pitch-black spear suddenly appeared. Its imposing manner was compelling, like a spear of vengeance from an Ancient Demon God!

Whoosh…

The pitch-black spear crossed the sky like lightning. With a flash of black light, it fiercely pierced through the flying Black Eagle, instantly wiping out its Soul. After a wail, it fell powerlessly to the ground.

“Lich, evil Lich King, help, help…”

Looking back at Hu Feng, who was approaching step by step, Urbato, who had fallen to the ground, shivered all over. He scrambled to a warhorse, tried his best to mount it, and stabbed the horse’s buttock fiercely with a knife. Riding the tall warhorse, he madly charged towards the brightly lit Wuhai Town nearby. Having lost too much blood, his face was pale, his teeth chattered, and he almost felt his Soul Scatters and Spirit Dissipates.

A hundred elite warriors were enough to form a battle-hardened Demon Hunter Squad. He thought it was in the bag, and he could play with Hu Feng however he wanted after capturing him. He didn’t expect to accidentally provoke an evil Great Demon Head. A hundred elite warriors were gone in an instant, not a bone left!

Liches, on the continent, always represented insidiousness, despicable ness, evil, death, and depravity. A Lich King was the extreme of evil. Thinking of the tidal wave of the Undead Army standing beside Hu Feng, Urbato shivered all over. At this moment, he finally deeply understood what despair and fear meant!

With just one move, he killed the powerful Guardian Black Eagle. Except for the top experts living in seclusion within Settlements, who else was a match for him, the Lich King?

“Urbato, you cannot escape. Your guards are waiting for you in the Undead Plane. Come, offer your essence blood and Soul to the great Lich King. I can forgive your sins and let your Soul find peace, free from the pain of eternal damnation!”

Hu Feng burned a large amount of Crystal again and activated the Teleportation Array to send the Undead Army back to the distant Lich Castle. Looking at Urbato, who was almost scared out of his wits, he smiled coldly and chased after him without haste, brewing the final strike within his body. With a light tap of his toes on the ground, he crossed over ten meters. He was unhurried, yet his speed was no less than the warhorse running wildly, perhaps even better, gradually closing the distance between them.

The moment he stepped onto the Wasteland, Urbato’s fate was already decided; he would die tonight without a doubt!

“Help, help…”

Seeing Hu Feng approaching with awe-inspiring Killing Intent, Urbato cried out for help in terror. He raised his hand and brought down his knife, stabbing the sharp dagger into the warhorse’s back again. Suddenly, the pained warhorse let out a long neigh and accelerated towards the Settlement gate. When it was only a few steps from the gate, its steps faltered, and it fell heavily to the ground with a ‘thud’, its limbs twitching and its wounds bleeding profusely.

“Help, help…” Urbato, who was dizzy from the fall, shouted hoarsely. Holding onto the wooden fence of the Settlement, he stood up. The burly guards inside the gate, whom he usually ignored, looked incredibly friendly at this moment. He turned to look at Hu Feng, who was a step late, and laughed madly, “Hahaha, Hu Feng, you’re dead, you’re dead! Back in the Settlement, let’s see who can save you, you evil fellow. You… just wait for the sanction of your Divine Court and suffer the pain of the Burning Stake!”

Having returned to the Settlement a step earlier, the terrified Urbato finally breathed a sigh of relief and laughed loudly.

On the Wasteland, the strong were respected. The wild was extremely dangerous, but private fights were strictly prohibited within the Settlement. Not to mention Hu Feng, an apprentice Divine Official, even a high-ranking Great Divine Official would not easily break the ban here. Returning to the Settlement meant absolute safety. As long as he exposed Hu Feng’s true face, Hu Feng would have no place for his burial!

Imagining the scene of Hu Feng, the evil Lich, being tied to the Burning Stake by the Divine Court and burned alive to death, Urbato, who returned to the Settlement first, laughed loudly, as if stepping from hell into heaven!

“Pitiful person, even at this moment, you still don’t know what it means to seek death!”

Hu Feng shook his head, took a calm step forward, and said faintly, “Urbato, being born in a wealthy family was your luck, but also your greatest misfortune. In your short life, you committed countless crimes. Today, it is time for liberation. May the Creator God forgive your original sin!”

In front of the many Settlement guards, Hu Feng, who was hiding his strength, could not easily cast powerful Magic again. He slowly pulled out the dagger Urbato had stabbed into the warhorse. Just as Urbato thought he was safe and laughed loudly, Hu Feng’s figure suddenly swayed, and he pounced in front of him like lightning. The sharp dagger fiercely pierced into his heart, then stirred vigorously!

“Ah… Hu Feng, you…”

Looking at the dagger almost buried to the handle in his chest, Urbato let out a scream. He widened his eyes, looking at Hu Feng who suddenly appeared in front of him in disbelief; his head tilted to the side, and his limbs slowly stopped twitching. He never dreamed that Hu Feng would actually dare to make a move and kill him in front of so many guards!

“Seeking death!”

Hu Feng looked calm. He coldly pulled out the sharp dagger and drifted away as if nothing had happened, like crushing an insignificant ant. Witnessing his sharp Fatal Strike, the many fully armed guards subconsciously made way for him.

“A fatal strike with one blow, impressive!”

“Heavens, it’s the son of the Morgan Family’s chief steward, this…”

…

Looking at Hu Feng’s back and the dead Urbato, the onlookers were shocked. No one expected that Hu Feng would actually kill Urbato directly in public!

Who was Urbato? The only son of the Morgan Family’s chief steward! He was famous and usually surrounded by a large group of guards when he went out. Although many people had long been displeased with this bullying fellow, and some even had a deep hatred for him, for so many years, who dared to provoke such a powerful figure?

The Morgan Family had huge power in Wuhai Town. Soon, the news of Urbato’s death reached a magnificent hall.

An old man dressed in black brocade sat on a tiger-skin chair, holding a cup of steaming Bihaiqing. With two maids serving him, he rested with his eyes closed. After hearing his personal guard’s report, he suddenly opened his eyes. The crystal cup ‘snapped’ onto the ground, startling the two beautiful maids behind him into screaming.

“What, Urbato he… was killed by a newly arrived Divine Official?” The black-clad old man stared in disbelief at the reporting guard. His thick eyebrows looked like two sword sheaths, and he stared angrily with a compelling aura, scaring the two maids behind him into trembling. “Who has such big guts to actually dare to act within the Settlement? Speak, who is it? Could it be that Urbato didn’t explain his identity? What are the Settlement guards for? Why didn’t they stop him and just let the murderer walk away?”

“Replying to the Chief Steward, the Young Master explained his identity, but… but that Divine Official not only did not stop, but instead stabbed the knife into the Young Master’s heart. We simply didn’t have time to rescue him!” Facing the furious black-clad old man, the reporting guard also shivered all over. After hesitating a moment, he stammered, “The Young Master escaped from the Wasteland, but… but had not yet stepped through the Settlement gate. Strictly speaking, he didn’t violate the Settlement’s laws, so… so the guards let that Divine Official leave.”

“Ah… a bunch of idiots. Investigate strictly. Immediately find out this Divine Official’s identity for me. Burke, you go to the Ghost Market personally and invite the most powerful Demon Hunter. Immediately issue an emergency summon order to recall the Black Eagle Squad hunting in the Red River Valley. Even if he is a Great Divine Official, I will make him never walk out of this Wasteland near Wuhai Town!” The black-clad old man was furious. With a ‘shua’, he pulled out a sharp curved knife. His hand rose and fell, chopping the priceless rosewood table in front of him into two pieces. His Killing Intent surged to the sky.
