Chapter 2045 - 2046: What Race

The man didn't dare move an inch. Ling Zhenfei walked over to the Minotaur's side and said, "I'm going to ask you a few questions. If you answer them, I'll spare you. If not, I'll kill you."

The Minotaur nodded with some fear, clearly still affected by the scene where Ling Zhenfei had instantly killed two of them.

Ling Zhenfei said, "What tribe are you from?"

The man said, "We are the Iron Bull People."

Ling Zhenfei glanced at the man, recognizing the Cattleman, but couldn't discern the Iron Bull.

Ling Zhenfei asked, "How many people are in your tribe?"

The man thought for a moment and said, "I don't know, but our tribe is very large."

Ling Zhenfei continued, "How many of you came this time and what was the plan?"

The man hesitated at first, clearly considering how to answer.

"We came with over a hundred people. Our purpose is to stay in the forest, supporting the teams around the canyon and intercepting people trying to escape."

Ling Zhenfei asked, "You have a hundred people, so why are there only five of you here? Where are the others?"

The man said, "The situation near the canyon is very tense, so we went to support there, but our lord sensed spiritual energy here and feared ambushes, so he sent us to investigate."

Ling Zhenfei understood. It was to have these few check, but unexpectedly, they saw only Lan Yan and developed ill intentions.

That's why when they first arrived, they didn't come over; this was the reason.

Ling Zhenfei asked, "In your group of over a hundred, what's their strength? How many experts at the Reaching Wisdom Realm?"

The Iron Bull People hesitated again, clearly reluctant to disclose confidential information.

By now, Lan Yan had reached his side and said, "Speak quickly, or we'll kill you."

Lan Yan was very angry because her clothes were torn. She was using her hands to hold them together.

The Iron Bull People hesitated a bit and said, "In our team's Dawen Realm."

Before finishing, a sudden shout came from behind them, and a surge of spiritual energy rushed towards Ling Zhenfei and Lan Yan.

Though Ling Zhenfei didn't look back, he knew what was happening—an Iron Bull People that he had slashed but hadn't killed was now charging at them.

Without even turning his head, Ling Zhenfei swung his Tang sword backward.

Iaido was that fast, even if his movements were slower than the Iron Bull People.

But Ling Zhenfei's slash directly cut the already injured Iron Bull People in half; his knife remained frozen mid-air.

As Ling Zhenfei and Lan Yan turned to focus on the Iron Bull People, suddenly the kid emitted spiritual energy and attacked them.

Ling Zhenfei sensed the change in spiritual energy but had just dealt with the Iron Bull People, making the kid's punch hard to handle. He grabbed Lan Yan, pulling her aside.

The Iron Bull People's punch missed, and then he threw several punches at Lan Yan, trying to kill her while they were unprepared.

This man was clever, understanding he wasn't a match for Ling Zhenfei, but his spiritual energy cultivation was similar to Lan Yan's.

So if he could defeat one, it would surely be Lan Yan.

Ling Zhenfei couldn't let it pass; he kept pulling Lan Yan to dodge the Iron Bull People's attacks.

The Iron Bull People tried hitting Lan Yan several times, but Ling Zhenfei kept blocking and dodging.

His anger grew; he then charged headfirst at Ling Zhenfei.

The Iron Bull People's head had two horns, and they gleamed as if they were often polished, likely quite sharp.

He must be using his ultimate move—the Iron Bull People charged with full force. Lan Yan also drew her short sword.

Seeing the Iron Bull People coming, she swung her sword at his head.

Sparks flew, but the Iron Bull People's head was unharmed. Ling Zhenfei knew his head wasn't ordinary; otherwise, they wouldn't be called Iron Bull People.

He pulled Lan Yan behind him, wielding his Dragon Tooth Dagger and thrusting at the Iron Bull People.

The Dragon Tooth Dagger didn't damage its head, but Ling Zhenfei's slash made the Iron Bull People pause.

Ling Zhenfei said to Lan Yan, "Hide, leave him to me."

Lan Yan hid behind a large tree, leaving Ling Zhenfei to face the Iron Bull People.

The Iron Bull People charged like a bull straight at Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei's Dragon Tooth Dagger gleamed with spiritual energy.

He stood still, watching the charging Iron Bull People.

Confident in his head, the Iron Bull People dashed towards Ling Zhenfei, who wanted to test the head's hardness.

The Iron Bull People were almost there when Ling Zhenfei flew up and drove the dagger into its head.

Thud!

The Dragon Tooth Dagger pierced the head but only went an inch deep, stopping there.

Ling Zhenfei's arm felt numb.

The Dragon Tooth Dagger restrained such creatures, yet it only penetrated an inch, proving the Iron Bull People's head was formidable.

But the Iron Bull People cried out in pain, indicating the distress.

Despite the pain, it went berserk, charging at Ling Zhenfei.

Knowing its head's toughness, Ling Zhenfei avoided brute force.

Recalling Spanish bullfighters, when the Iron Bull People charged close, he quickly spun to its backside.

With the dagger, he pierced through its body.

The Iron Bull People struggled on the ground, never rising again.

Ling Zhenfei sighed, "If you had answered properly, I'd let you go. You brought this on yourself."

Lan Yan emerged from behind the tree, "Senior Brother Ling, are you alright?"

Ling Zhenfei glanced at Lan Yan. Her clothes were torn.

Ling Zhenfei said, "I'm fine, but do you have spare clothes? If not, I have some women's clothes."

Lan Yan looked at Ling Zhenfei curiously, doubting why he had women's clothes.

Ling Zhenfei quickly explained, "A friend left them with me, not sure if they'll fit you."
