“What do you want to say?” Luo Feng frowned and looked at him.
Originally, it was just because of Zhang Haobai that he and Zhang Zehu had a falling out, but after the Tiger Fang Squad fired those two sniper rifle bullets, it was no longer just about him and Zhang Zehu.
They participated. How could it be that simple to withdraw?
“We can compensate.” The Tiger Fang Squad Captain swept his gaze over the four team members and the Fire Hammer Squad, then looked at Luo Feng, “If you kill us, you actually won't get much either. Why not let us go? We will give you enough money for our lives, and Zhang Ke won't be able to be a Martial Artist in the future, so doesn't he need money even more?”
“Brother Zhang can't be a Martial Artist anymore, isn't it because of you?” Luo Feng said angrily.
“I'm very sorry, but this was what Zhang Zehu requested, and besides, if you kill us, his arm won't come back, right?”
“Truly shameless, pushing all the responsibility onto a dead person.” Gao Feng cursed.
The Tiger Fang Squad Captain remained silent in response. It was indeed a bit shameless, but Zhang Zehu was already dead, and they were still alive.
Naturally, they had to consider the living first. As for Zhang Zehu, they would just take care of his family more in the future.
“What do you say?” He looked at Luo Feng.
Dongguan Wargod valued Luo Feng; Gao Feng's opinion was not important.
If Luo Feng agreed, it would naturally be good. If he didn't agree, then he had no choice but to do his best when it was his turn to fight.
He didn't believe that Luo Feng, who could kill Zhang Zehu, could also defeat him?
The reason for making this suggestion was mainly to save the lives of the team members.
Of course, there was another consideration: Luo Feng's talent was indeed high. If they couldn't be sure of killing him, it was better to try and clear up the past grudges.
Luo Feng looked at Dong Guan.
“I don't care, you decide,” Dong Guan spread his hands, “If you victims are willing to forgive, it's not impossible to let them off.”
“But after this, I don't want the same thing to happen again.” Dong Guan's gaze swept over the Tiger Fang Squad, “The threat of monsters hangs over Human like the Sword of Damocles. You should be treading on thin ice. If you still fight amongst yourselves at this time...”
“Absolutely not.”
“We will definitely work hard to kill monsters from now on and won't do this again.”
“If we do this again, may we be struck by five bolts of lightning.”
The Tiger Fang Squad naturally made repeated promises, even swearing poisonous oaths.
In fact, inwardly, they were indifferent. They weren't the only ones fighting amongst themselves. What did the overall situation of Human have to do with a mere War General level squad?
Becoming a Martial Artist was simply because it was a quick way to make money and had high status.
“You decide.” Dong Guan still left the decision to Luo Feng.
He also knew that internal conflicts among Human were unavoidable. Under normal circumstances, when encountering such matters, he would at most record the incident and hand it over to the security bureau.
The result was usually punishment, but not death.
As for this time, because of Luo Feng, he was deeply involved. Anyway, even without this duel, facing Master Nian Luo Feng, Zhang Zehu and the Tiger Fang Squad were doomed.
Choosing money or choosing revenge was the right of the victims.
“I need to discuss it with my teammates.”
Dong Guan nodded.
The result was naturally that the Tiger Fang Squad was let off, and a huge compensation was demanded.
To be honest, Luo Feng himself wasn't absolutely sure of victory. Even if he revealed his Master Nian identity, he was only barely considered an Intermediate War General, the same as the Tiger Fang Squad Captain.
Even if a Master Nian had an advantage in combat against a Martial Artist, it was mostly due to distance advantage and taking the opponent by surprise, not guaranteed victory.
In a complex Wilderness Area environment, a Master Nian challenging a higher level was common, but in a direct duel, it wasn't necessarily the case.
In fact, when Luo Feng asked for Dong Guan's opinion, this was already inevitable. The rest was just a matter of price.
And the Tiger Fang Squad, whose priority was to save their lives, naturally agreed to everything.
Zhang Ke leaving the team was inevitable, unless he could recover with Water of Life, but that price was something he could never earn in his lifetime.
Afterwards, everyone decided to return and rest.
The Tiger Fang Squad and the Fire Hammer Squad were because of too much damage, especially the loss of team members.
As for Dong Guan, it was because what he wanted to do on this trip was already completed.
The moment they walked down the rooftop, a huge wolf, three meters tall and five or six meters long, rushed out.
“Silver Moon Direwolf.” Luo Feng immediately became alert.
“It's the one we were chasing before.” The Tiger Fang Squad Captain said.
They came to the Wilderness Area, naturally not specifically to deal with the Fire Hammer Squad, but it just happened to coincide.
“It's injured.” Wei Tie of the Fire Hammer Squad noticed this.
There was a wound on the wolf's abdomen. The Tiger Fang Squad also discovered this and dared to chase this Advanced Beast Soldier, a being close to Lord-level.
“Luo Feng, watch closely.”
Dong Guan took out the battle blade from his back, and his entire person disappeared.
When he reappeared, he was already beneath the Silver Moon Direwolf. First, he kicked the wolf into the air, then a battle blade swung, skillfully slicing through the wound on its abdomen. Three layers of hidden force erupted, tearing the Silver Moon Direwolf's fragile waist.
He deliberately slowed down his movements so they could see the strike clearly.
Not just Luo Feng, everyone else was also watching intently.
Although there were many videos on the Martial Artist forum, it was still rare to see a War God take action in reality.
“This is, Ninefold Thunder Blade's second level, and more.” Luo Feng stared intently at this scene, seemingly enlightened.
He could feel that the technique used in that strike only had three layers of hidden force, seemingly only the second level of Ninefold Thunder Blade, but it was subtly different.
“The hidden force technique of Ninefold Thunder Blade is not just used to increase force. Different combinations can create different effects such as tearing and binding. Although the power is not as great as direct overlapping, it is sometimes quite useful.”
After killing the Silver Moon Direwolf, Dong Guan said beside Luo Feng.
The others also seemed to be enlightened, but it was unclear if it was real or just an act.
Dong Guan had naturally cultivated beyond the second level of Ninefold Thunder Blade, but this was just for Luo Feng's demonstration.
“These Materials are for you.” Dong Guan didn't care much about this gain. Speaking of which, the Silver Moon Direwolf daring to come over was thanks to him concealing his aura.
While the others were cutting and collecting the Silver Moon Direwolf's Materials, Luo Feng closed his eyes and carefully comprehended.
Then, he drew the Blood Shadow Battle Blade and struck a blow.
It was still two layers of hidden force, but it was more fluid than when he fought Zhang Zehu.
“Thank you.”
“Just consider it building good karma.” Dong Guan couldn't help but be amazed. Luo Feng's talent was truly high.
In fact, in the original work, among the Earth trio, only Luo Feng didn't have a Domain at the Planet Level. But Hong and Thunder God had cultivated for decades, how long had Luo Feng cultivated?
Luo Feng felt that his identity as a Master Nian must not have been hidden from this War God. Perhaps it wasn't even discovered during the battle with Zhang Zehu, but even earlier.
During the journey back to the Martial Artist supply Base City, they encountered a few monsters, but there were no Lord-level ones, and it was just a single move for Dong Guan.
Dong Guan didn't even need to take action; the two squads handled it themselves.
At the Base City, everyone separated.
The two squads went to process the monster Materials, while Dong Guan directly boarded the train back to Jiangnan Base City.
...
On the train, Dong Guan slowly closed his eyes.
When he truly met Luo Feng, he finally recovered his past memories and understood this swallowing star World.
But he didn't show any abnormality, just expressed friendliness towards Luo Feng and built good karma.
As for letting Luo Feng fight the Tiger Fang Squad, it was just a spontaneous act.
He wasn't a so-called soul-taker; something abnormal happened in the past that blocked his memory.
“And...”
He touched his brow with his right hand; there was a vertical mark there.
Others thought it was a scar, but he knew that there was an eye inside.
“My origin seems to be problematic.”
How could a normal Earthling have three eyes?
...
Finally back to Jiangnan Base City.
Leaving the station, Dong Guan saw a figure he didn't want to see, a man with a buzz cut.
“Dongguan Wargod, I want to challenge you.”
“I refuse.”
“You can't refuse.”
“There's more than just me as a War God. Can you find someone else? Wargod Lu Gang.”
Looking at the man in front of him, Dong Guan felt a little helpless.
Who would have thought that the dignified Wargod Lu Gang would be such a person, so shameless in seeking sparring partners.
But it was undeniable that he was a good person.
“Rat tide...” Dong Guan recalled the plot.
The rat tide shouldn't be far off, and this Wargod Lu Gang in front of him would fall in it.
“Not this time.” Dong Guan looked up at Lu Gang in front of him.
“What won't happen? Are you going to refuse my challenge again? However, I won't give up.”
“I agree.”
“What?” Lu Gang was already used to Dong Guan refusing, so agreeing this time made him a bit uncomfortable.
“Let's go.”
“Go where?”
“I agreed to spar with you, but don't we have to go to the virtual Space? Are you planning to spar with me in reality?”
“Let's stick to the virtual Space.”
If it were in reality, Lu Gang would be purely abused.
He was only an Intermediate War God, while Dong Guan was already an Advanced War God.
Coupled with the difference in force application levels, if their physical fitness wasn't leveled out in the virtual Space, the desired effect couldn't be achieved at all.
Moreover, they could spar more freely in the virtual Space without worrying about getting injured.
“Wait for me.”
The next day, the Fire Hammer Squad returned to Jiangnan Base City.
After Luo Feng returned home, he greeted his parents and younger brother, then went back to his room, opened his computer, and started searching for information about Dongguan Wargod.
