Everyone's eyes instantly lit up, quickly focusing on Wang Zhan.
In the blink of an eye, everyone nodded and quickly converged on Wang Zhan. In no ti at all, they had surrounded him in a tight ring.
Wang Zhan was seen sitting cross-legged, the Deep Fire Blade lying beside him.
Feeling the crowd closing in, Wang Zhan's expression gradually turned unpleasant. He slowly opened his eyes, swept a glance around, and finally asked, "What are you trying to do?"
In fact, Wang Zhan had sensed their presence as soon as he entered the forest. They're just a bunch of small fry, he thought. He had no intention of fighting them.
But he had never expected the Lion-Tiger Beast to be so powerful that it had left him completely exhausted.
So, never mind that the people around him were a bunch of losers; now, even soone utterly powerless could approach him, and he would have no way to fight back.
"This kid seems to be totally exhausted after all."
"Then let's not waste more ti. Let's defeat him while we have this chance."
"Sure. Once we deal with him, we will divide his equipnt."
Everyone's eyes lit up. They quickly drew their weapons and swung forcefully at Wang Zhan.
Wang Zhan squinted slightly, swiftly raising his hand to show a jade token.
"Wait a mont."
Upon hearing Wang Zhan's voice, everyone hesitated, exchanging puzzled glances.
"What does he an by that?"
One of them looked towards Wang Zhan.
Wang Zhan squinted, and a faint smile touched his lips.
He then shattered the jade token in his hand.
In an instant, a ripple of energy spread out.
Before they could understand what had happened, a figure suddenly descended from the sky.
That is…
"Hu Xianfeng?"
Everyone's expression instantly turned grim.
They instinctively stepped back, moving to one side, obviously not daring to directly confront Hu Xianfeng.
After all, even with ten, a hundred, or even a thousand of them, they were no match for Hu Xianfeng.
Hu Xianfeng glanced at Wang Zhan sitting on the ground and grinned.
In a few strides, he reached Wang Zhan's side and smiled, "Didn't expect you to be so capable. You managed to get rid of that Lion-Tiger Beast?"
Wang Zhan clutched his chest and coughed twice before nodding. He smiled and said, "Indeed, I took care of that brute. But I didn't expect another swarm of flies to co buzzing around."
As he spoke, his gaze fell upon the crowd.
Their expressions soured, and they all began to retreat.
Hu Xianfeng, who was standing nearby, walked over to them. He frowned slightly and asked, "What are you all doing here?"
"We just happened to pass by, and then we saw soone injured. So we ca over to help," one of them hastily stepped forward.
The rest all echoed in agreent.
Heh… A cold smile touched Wang Zhan's lips. After resting for a while, his cultivation had recovered significantly. He grasped the Deep Fire Blade and slowly stood up. He strolled towards the group, patted the shoulder of the man who had just spoken, and said, "That didn't seem to be your intention just now, did it? And did you really think I was deaf and couldn't hear what you were saying?"
The man's expression changed instantly. He forced an awkward laugh and explained, "Young brother, we were just joking with you. Who knew you were connected to Hu Xianfeng? If we had known you were one of Hu Xianfeng's people, we naturally wouldn't have troubled you. This is all just a misunderstanding."
"Besides, we Bounty Hunters will continue to co to this forest to hunt demonic beasts. Although we do it for money, ultimately, it's for the greater good. After all, once we eliminate those powerful demonic beasts, it lessens the pressure on humanity, doesn't it?"
Wang Zhan nodded, a faint smile playing on his lips. "That sounds perfectly reasonable."
"But if I recall correctly, your aning was that if I *didn't* have a connection with Hu Xianfeng, then you were planning to deal with ? Is that right?"
The expressions of the group changed instantly. The man standing before Wang Zhan was already trembling violently from fear.
Hu Xianfeng remained standing to the side, silent throughout.
Wang Zhan glanced at Hu Xianfeng, then said with a smile, "You can leave this matter to . My strength hadn't fully recovered earlier, but after so rest, I'm about seventy to eighty percent back. Dealing with these few small fry shouldn't be an issue. There's no need for you, senior, to intervene."
Hu Xianfeng, standing nearby, rely shrugged indifferently and walked to one side.
"Alright, let's see your performance then."
After exchanging glances, one of them looked at Hu Xianfeng and quickly asked, "You're not going to intervene?"
Hu Xianfeng chuckled and said, "Didn't he make it clear? He doesn't even see you all as a threat, so why should I step in? Don't worry, if you can defeat him, his equipnt and everything he has will be yours. But if you can't defeat him, then you'll have to forfeit your lives. So, you'd better think carefully."
Upon hearing this, their eyes lit up again. Although they knew Wang Zhan was incredibly strong, how could he possibly have recovered so quickly?
This must be a joke!
And so, wicked intentions began to brew in their hearts once more.
Then, several of them surrounded Wang Zhan, chilling smiles on their faces.
"Kid, don't bla us for this. Since you're seeking death yourself, we don't need to show any rcy."
"Without Hu Xianfeng's help, who do you think you are?"
"What's the point of all this talk? For his equipnt, everyone, don't hold back! Let's take him down!"
Everyone nodded in agreent.
In an instant, they all clenched their fists and charged swiftly towards Wang Zhan.
However, a disdainful smirk appeared on Wang Zhan's lips.
Although his cultivation hadn't completely recovered, dealing with these few individuals wouldn't be difficult.
He took out a few elixirs from his clothes, tossed them into his mouth, and then dashed towards the group.
He raised the Deep Fire Blade in his hand, and streaks of Fire Dragons imdiately surged forth.
Before they could react, they were knocked away by the Fire Dragons.
Wang Zhan looked at them proudly, shaking his head in disdain. "Is that it? You want to seize the gear in my hand, are you kidding ?"
"Hurry up and show
all your remaining ans, otherwise, be careful, you might not even get a chance to act later."
Wang Zhan squinted and chuckled.
He was curious to know whether the System would further refine him and whether his cultivation would improve after dealing with these people.
Their expressions turned extrely grim as they exchanged glances.
"Kid, you brought this upon yourself!"
As they spoke, they rushed towards Wang Zhan.
A faint smile touched the corners of Wang Zhan's mouth. Then, wielding his Deep Fire Blade, he clashed with the group once more.
The n before him retreated repeatedly, clearly being pushed into a desperate situation by Wang Zhan.
Their expressions beca extrely ugly, but Wang Zhan had no intention of letting them go. He swung his Deep Fire Blade again.
Fire Dragons filled the entire battlefield, and these n were clearly shocked by Wang Zhan's ans.
In an instant, they all retreated to one side, their expressions grim to the extre.
Who would dare to engage Wang Zhan at this point?
Wang Zhan's Deep Fire Blade descended again, and a massive Fire Dragon smashed into one man's chest.
Before he could react, he evaporated into thin air.
With soone dying right before their eyes, everyone else panicked.
They retreated hastily.
Wang Zhan advanced step by step towards them, the Deep Fire Blade in his hand trembling incessantly. He squinted at the n before him, a chilling smile on his lips. "If others don't provoke , I won't provoke them. Actually, I knew you were following
from the start, but I didn't intend to make things difficult for you. However, you kept pushing it. In that case, you can't bla ."
After all, Wang Zhan had genuinely intended to let them leave earlier. But this group had persistently surrounded him and were now coveting his possessions. How could he possibly let them off easily?
Besides, Wang Zhan was no saint, nor did he possess a heart overflowing with compassion.
Others already had knives to his throat; if he still didn't fight back, wouldn't that make him a fool?
Not far away, Hu Xianfeng observed this entire scene. He chuckled, nodded, and muttered to himself.
This young fellow is quite interesting. His ans are truly ruthless.
He's sowhat like I was in my youth.
What I truly didn't expect, though, is that this kid actually intends to kill them.
As he mused, Hu Xianfeng suddenly rose and landed in front of Wang Zhan. He patted Wang Zhan's shoulder, then gestured towards the surrounding n and began to speak.
