Instantly, Wang Zhan's expression changed. After looking at the n before him, he finally asked, "Who are all of you?"
"Heh..."
The man at the forefront had a scar across his face, making him look extrely ferocious. He glanced coldly at Wang Zhan, then enunciated each word, "Did you forget who we are so quickly, you little brat?"
"If I recall correctly, you just killed our fellow Bounty Hunters, didn't you?"
Wang Zhan instantly understood. These people were clearly here for revenge.
However, what astounded Wang Zhan was their speed. He had only just parted ways with those Bounty Hunters, yet these n had already found him.
He glanced at the n before him and asked with a smirk, "What are you, part dog? How did you track
down so quickly?"
"Enough of your pointless chatter!"
The Scarface Man at the front looked coldly at Wang Zhan, raised his big saber, and declared, "Kid! I'm giving you two options right now. Either kneel before , beg for forgiveness, and chop off your own hands, or we break all your limbs and hang you high above Kui City."
"What do you say?"
The surrounding crowd also erupted, shouting and jeering.
Wang Zhan squinted at them, a faint smile playing on his lips.
"And what if I choose neither?"
Wang Zhan calmly stepped forward to face them, not a trace of fear on his face.
This gave the Bounty Hunters pause. Everyone in Kui City knew the Bounty Hunters were a ruthless organization. They valued money above all else and showed no loyalty. Offending them ant it was difficult to keep one's life.
Therefore, confronting them was incredibly dangerous. Yet, what surprised them was that Wang Zhan showed no fear whatsoever.
"Kid, you sure are arrogant. In that case, I can offer you a third option."
Scarface Man squinted, a cold smile on his lips. He then charged swiftly at Wang Zhan, his big saber raised. "The third option is for
to hack you a thousand tis, until you understand that we Bounty Hunters are not to be trifled with!"
As he spoke, Scarface Man reached Wang Zhan's side. However, Wang Zhan showed no fear. Instead, he swiftly raised his Deep Fire Blade, conjuring a wall of Fire Dragons that t the blow from Scarface Man's saber.
Before Scarface Man could react, a scorching heatwave washed over him. He tried to respond but was a step too late. His big saber was sent flying, and he stumbled back several steps, his expression turning ugly.
His n instantly crowded around Scarface Man, chattering amongst themselves.
"How can this kid be so strong? Not even Boss is his match!"
"It must be his strange weapon! Otherwise, how could Boss not subdue him?"
"Never mind that for now, let's just get rid of this brat! Even if he's powerful, with all of us attacking together, he'll find it hard to escape."
After exchanging glances, they all charged at Wang Zhan.
Wang Zhan swept his gaze over them, a helpless smile on his lips. These people were just a bunch of useless trash. Compared to a level 9 beast, they were far too weak. He didn't even want to bother fighting them. But these people seed determined to court death, showing no intention of leaving.
Wang Zhan sighed impatiently. He swiftly drew his Deep Fire Blade and slashed out at the crowd.
Streaks of Fire Dragons imdiately shot out, attacking the n.
Before the n could react, they felt a searing heat strike their chests. In an instant, they were all sent flying, collapsing chaotically to the ground.
Wang Zhan stood arrogantly to one side, looking coldly at the n on the ground. He shook his head disdainfully and said with a smirk, "With your ager abilities, you dare act so arrogantly before ?"
"I'd advise you all to go ho and plant sweet potatoes."
The n exchanged glances, and then all eyes fell on Scarface Man.
Clearly, Scarface Man was their leader.
Scarface Man glared coldly at Wang Zhan, then waved to his n and said in a deep voice, "As long as the green hills remain, there'll be no shortage of firewood. Brothers, let's retreat for now! We'll find another way to deal with this person later."
Wang Zhan shrugged, a warm smile on his lips. "Don't say I didn't warn you. If you miss this chance, it won't be easy to find
again. After all, I won't stay here waiting for you to seek revenge."
His words continued to provoke them.
Scarface Man's expression changed. He gritted his teeth, glaring fiercely at Wang Zhan for a long mont before finally waving to his n. Without hesitation, they headed towards Kui City.
Since the Bounty Hunters had established themselves in Kui City, no one had ever dared to openly challenge them.
But they never expected to et such stiff resistance this ti.
What was most infuriating was that it was at the hands of a junior, soone younger than them.
Wang Zhan had no intention of wiping them out. After all, these n were also just struggling to survive. Besides, with them around, Kui City might have fewer problems. He had dealt with the previous group of Bounty Hunters because those n had wanted to kill him. The nature of this situation was different, so he didn't need to press further, especially since he had already made an example to deter them. He believed these n were smart enough not to seek trouble with him again.
Seeing that Wang Zhan wasn't pursuing them, Scarface Man quickened his pace. Soon, the group reached the foot of Kui City's walls.
Scarface Man panted heavily, leaning on his big saber. He gazed into the distance, frowning as he said, "Just where did this monstrous kid co from? How can he be so powerful?"
"When those fellows reported that this kid had dealt with a level 9 beast, I thought they were joking. I never imagined this brat truly possessed such formidable ans. It seems we genuinely misjudged him this ti."
Nearby, a Bounty Hunter quickly asked, "So, should we still go after this kid?"
After all, Wang Zhan defeated our comrades. If word of this spreads, what will happen to the Bounty Hunters' reputation?
Scarface Man's expression turned grim. He glared at the man beside him and snapped, "Are you out of your mind?"
"Among us Bounty Hunters, can you find anyone stronger than him?"
"If we continue to seek him out, aren't we just asking for trouble?"
The strongest among the Bounty Hunters was naturally Scarface Man himself. However, their true power wasn't in individual combat. They relied more on group tactics to deal with demonic beasts, and they could even use formation techniques to boost their collective fighting strength. That was their greatest advantage.
The man chuckled, "But are we just going to accept this loss of face?"
"You idiot!"
Scarface Man glared at the speaker and retorted irritably, "Which is more important, face or your life? As long as you're alive, you can get anything back. What damn use is face?"
"Everyone knows what kind of people we Bounty Hunters are, don't they?"
The man beside him scratched his head in embarrassnt and dared not speak further.
Suddenly, another man stepped up to Scarface Man. A chilling glint in his eyes, he said with a smirk, "Boss, I've thought of soone who might be able to deal with this kid and restore our face."
"Who?"
Scarface Man looked at him, puzzled.
The man grinned, rubbing his hands, "Naturally, it's the man locked at the bottom of the well."
"You an... him?"
Scarface Man's expression changed, his fists clenching involuntarily.
The other n standing near Scarface Man also frowned deeply.
Clearly, the person just ntioned was a nightmare for every one of them.
Indeed, it wasn't just them; anyone in Kui City would feel a sense of dread hearing that na.
The man they spoke of was a legend in Kui City.
For all these years, he had remained imprisoned at the bottom of that deep well.
More than ten years ago, Kui City faced a siege by ferocious beasts. The city was on the brink of annihilation, and it is said that countless people perished in that battle.
But in the end, it was this man from the well who, by his power alone, eradicated thousands of demonic beasts, thereby restoring peace to Kui City.
The City Lord of Kui City had subsequently locked the man deep in the well. This wasn't an act of ingratitude. Rather, it was because when the man had unleashed his power, his ridians had shattered, and his vital blood had flowed in reverse, causing him to descend into madness.
Consequently, the man in the well was now no different from a raving madman.
For all these years, no one dared release him. After all, if he were to erge, he would indiscriminately attack not only demonic beasts but humans as well.
In an instant, all the n gathered around, their gazes fixed on Scarface Man.
"Boss, if you give the command, we are willing to go down into the well to find him."
"As Bounty Hunters, we must preserve our face! Otherwise, how could we maintain our standing in the future?"
