Chapter 2123 - 2124: The Big Stick in My Hand

Suddenly, six demon hunters arrived, surrounding Ling Zhenfei, Murong Liuqing, and the others.

Along with the three cultivators already present, there were nine people against Ling Zhenfei's four, and aside from Ling Zhenfei, the other three were injured.

Only Murong Liuqing was in slightly better condition, standing behind Ling Zhenfei upon seeing so many people arrive.

Murong Liuqing, somewhat flustered, said, "What should we do? There are so many people."

Ling Zhenfei said, "It doesn't matter if there are more people; they all die the same."

Murong Liuqing said, "It's easy for you to say. They're all Pursue Heart State experts. How do you plan to kill them?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Listen to me, you leave first, and I'll cover the rear."

Just then, a bird person suddenly said, "Are you two sick? We can understand you, you know. Can you keep it down when you discuss?"

Another said, "Do you still think you can run? You're truly overestimating yourselves."

Both Ling Zhenfei and Murong Liuqing felt a bit embarrassed. Ling Zhenfei said, "Don't think I'll be afraid just because you outnumber me. Who dares to come up and spar with me? I'll show you my power."

The group all laughed, and the Hu Tou laughed and said, "You humans always love to boast. Alright, since you think you're so great, let's not be polite."

With that, he raised the large stick in his hand and charged at Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei had anticipated this and was waiting for someone to come forward.

He needed to make a strong impression on these people, or he would certainly be overwhelmed and killed.

Seeing the Hu Tou charging towards him, Ling Zhenfei immediately decided he needed to take down the Hu Tou quickly, or he wouldn't be able to intimidate these cultivators.

With this in mind, Ling Zhenfei first used his power of the soul to lock onto the Tang sword in Hu Tou's hand, Northern Spiritual Energy already in place, while his left hand gathered spiritual energy.

Seeing the Hu Tou leap forward, swinging fiercely down at him, Ling Zhenfei shouted in his mind, "Good timing!"

Then, his power of the soul suddenly launched an attack, and the Hu Tou felt a sudden, painful buzz in his head.

At this moment, Ling Zhenfei's fifth Sky-Splitting Ten Blades move headed straight for Hu Tou.

Though the Hu Tou's head pain lasted only briefly, seeing Ling Zhenfei's blade sweep in, it was too late to dodge, forcing him to block.

However, at his level, blocking this fifth move of the Sky-Splitting Ten Blades was nearly impossible.

Boom!

The blade struck the Hu Tou's club, slicing it directly in half, and then the spiritual energy swept over Hu Tou, sending him flying.

Ling Zhenfei believed that if not for the hardness of the Hu Tou's skin, he could have sliced him in two.

In mid-air, the Hu Tou spat out a mouthful of blood; it was clear he was injured. To intimidate those around him, Ling Zhenfei struck out with his left hand.

Sky Piercing Finger, directly piercing towards the Hu Tou.

With a splatter!

No matter how tough the Hu Tou's body was, it couldn't withstand it, and Sky Piercing Finger pierced a hole through him.

Blood flew everywhere, and the Hu Tou fell heavily to the ground, unable to stand again.

Everyone witnessing this scene was stunned. To them, it was unbelievable that Ling Zhenfei had taken down Hu Tou so effortlessly.

Both were Pursue Heart State experts, with similar power levels, so their strength should have been comparable in a fight.

Yet, with just two moves, Ling Zhenfei seemed to have finished off Hu Tou — wasn't this a quick kill?

Pursue Heart State against Pursue Heart State, such a quick finish was truly incredible, shocking everyone present.

Murong Liuqing also found the scene unbelievable; he hadn't expected Ling Zhenfei's strength to be so immense, instantly taking down such a powerful cultivator.

However, they didn't know about Ling Zhenfei's inner struggle. That move was successful partly because Hu Tou wasn't prepared, but it also exhausted him greatly.

Now, Ling Zhenfei needed to project an aura of being very strong, or facing a joint attack from the opponents would surely lead to their demise.

"Did you see that? Who else wants to come up and meet their end?"

The Minotaur, hesitatingly, looked at the others and said, "There's something off here. How's this kid so strong? Could he be feigning weakness?"

A bird person said, "It's intriguing, but I think if we attack together, we can definitely kill him."

The Minotaur said, "How do you know we won't end up like the Hu Tou if we attack together?"

The bird person replied, "I refuse to believe he can maintain that level of intensity unless he's not human."

The tall, slender figure said, "Two fists can't fight four hands. I suggest we all go at once."

The long-tailed one added, "That is indeed the question here."

At this point, Ling Zhenfei said, "Can you discuss without letting me hear? Do you think I can't understand you?"

Then the elder, who had previously used the power of the fire element, said, "This brat's strength is just Chasing Heart Realm Early-Stage. If you all attack together, you can definitely take him down."

The Minotaur replied, "Senior, that statement of yours makes no sense. Your strength is Chasing Heart Realm Mid-Stage, yet you say he's early-stage. If that's the case, how could he have injured you?"

The elder felt a bit embarrassed, realizing the truth: he should have been stronger at Chasing Heart Realm Mid-Stage, yet he ended up seriously injured.

Moreover, his disciples also suffered varying degrees of injuries.

Failing to kill a single cultivator with so many people would be utterly embarrassing if word spread; it would ruin his reputation.

The elder said, "Kill him for me, and I won't wrong you. You know who my master is."

The Minotaur answered, "We know who your master is, but there's a problem. We're not up to the task; you saw Hu Tou's outcome. Who dares to make a move now?"

The long-tailed lad added, "Yeah, Senior, this kid is truly formidable. Making a move means taking on huge risks for us."

The elder's face was grim. He pondered briefly, then took out a book from his chest, saying, "I have a secret manual about controlling the fire element. Help me kill him, and it's yours."

Hearing the elder's words, the hesitant ones exchanged a glance, their eyes showing a tinge of shock mixed with greed, revealing how enticing this was to them.

Ling Zhenfei felt alarmed and quickly said, "You really value money over life, huh? Willing to die over that broken book?"

They grinned at Ling Zhenfei and said, "They say people die for money, birds die for food — haven't you heard of that?"
