CHAPTER 2040: CHAPTER 2037: SEEKING PROTECTION!

The old man knew well that it was hard for him to contend against these three people alone. He glanced at Ren Feifan over there, originally hoping that a master could help him, but now his heart sank completely.

Some of those with strength had already fled, leaving behind only these people who didn’t know any better.

He gritted his teeth and looked at the Black-stripe Triple Wraiths, saying, "Whatever they’re offering, we’ll pay you double, how about that?"

The bald leader let out a cold laugh. "Not interested. Do you think our Black-stripe Triple Wraiths care about money?"

"Enough, I don’t want to waste words with you, old man. Everyone, move together! The longer we wait, the more things can go wrong!"

The next second, three figures directly rushed towards the old man!

The old man looked at the young girl and quickly said, "Miss, run quickly. I’ll hold them off here."

But before he could finish speaking, a Sword Qi fell, and the old man’s arm was cut off by it.

He was then subdued with a single palm strike by one of them.

The other two moved towards the young girl.

Lacking strength, the young girl was naturally captured by the Black-stripe Triple Wraiths.

Ren Feifan continued looking at the map, eating his pastries as if nothing had happened.

He didn’t want to meddle in others’ affairs.

Once he figured enough time had passed, Ren Feifan stood up directly and said to Dragon Lady and the others, "We’re pretty much done here, let’s go."

Dragon Lady glanced at the old and young pair, then said to Ren Feifan, "Brother Feifan, should we really not intervene?"

Ren Feifan shook his head, "No need."

Ren Feifan wasn’t heartless, but the Hidden Gate was not that simple, and he wasn’t even sure if this was a trap.

Moreover, such incidents happened every day, and he simply couldn’t help everyone.

Just as Ren Feifan and his group were preparing to leave, the Black-stripe Triple Wraiths naturally noticed them.

A cold voice sounded from behind Ren Feifan, "Brat, did I say you could leave?"

The next moment, a Cold Sword was placed directly on Ren Feifan’s neck.

It was incomparably cold.

Ren Feifan glanced at the sword on his neck and said indifferently, "Do you know what happens to people who do this?"

The bald man didn’t expect that even at this moment, this guy still had the mood to posture, and laughed, "What happens?"

"They all end up dead."

Ren Feifan’s voice was light, devoid of emotion.

"Oh, I’m so scared. We Black-stripe Triple Wraiths are most afraid of this kind of old and weak combination."

After speaking, the Black-stripe Triple Wraiths laughed heartily, seemingly finding it very amusing.

Once the laughter subsided, the Black-stripe Triple Wraiths’ killing intent turned ice-cold again.

As they were about to make a move, the young girl’s crisp voice rang out, "Wait a minute."

"What is it?" The Black-stripe Triple Wraiths’ faces were visibly displeased.

The young girl glanced at Ren Feifan and Dragon Lady, a feeling of compassion rising in her heart. She said to the Black-stripe Triple Wraiths, "These are just passersby. Your target is me, so let them go. We’re willing to go back with you without resistance."

The old man hadn’t expected that while the young lady couldn’t even protect herself, she was still worried about others, and shook his head helplessly.

Miss’s character was like that, but this kind of behavior can’t save her.

The Hidden Gate is cruel, and kindness doesn’t bring any return.

One of the Black-stripe Triple Wraiths sneered, "Girl, you can’t even control your own life, and yet you want to save this trash? Hmm, I hadn’t noticed before, but you’re somewhat attractive. How about before handing you over to the buyer, we three have some fun? After all, they only want you alive, not necessarily intact..."

Hearing this, the other two also became interested.

After all, the young girl’s appearance and temperament far surpassed other women of the Hidden Gate.

At this moment, a lazy voice sounded in the ears of the Black-stripe Triple Wraiths, "Hey, you three won’t even have your lives, yet you’re considering this?"

The Black-stripe Triple Wraiths were stunned aware it was Ren Feifan who spoke.

"Courting death! So you want to die first!"

The person who had placed the sword on Ren Feifan’s neck was about to make a move, but an invisible pressure enveloped him.

"This..."

Before he could react, Ren Feifan had already turned around and grabbed his wrist with his right hand.

With a "crack!" sound, the man’s arm was immediately broken!

The next second, Ren Feifan twisted his arm, directly cutting his head with his own sword!

A blow, instant death.

The blood-soaked head fell directly.

"Three Wraiths!"

The expressions of the remaining two bald men changed dramatically as they quickly gathered True Qi all over their bodies! At the same time, a single sword transformed into dozens of Sword Intents, shooting at Ren Feifan’s vital spots!

"Hmph, petty tricks!"

Ren Feifan snorted coldly, not even intending to use the Ancient Dust Sword. The power of Body Refinement erupted, and he punched towards the Sword Intents!

Clang!

Ren Feifan, barehanded, unleashed an extremely powerful wave of energy.

The wave was sharply fierce, like a Scimitar, violently smashing into those Sword Intents, shattering all of them instantly, and the remaining Sword Qi smashed into the ground, creating an unfathomably deep dent!

Strong!

Everyone who saw this scene had this one word left in their minds.

After this move, it was clear to the remaining Black-stripe Triple Wraiths that they had miscalculated, and after exchanging a glance, they retreated rapidly.

"Did I say you could leave?" a shout echoed!

The next moment, it was as if an invisible hand had appeared beside the two!

"Rip!" a sound ensued, forcibly dragging them over!

They were directly thrown in front of Ren Feifan!

With billowing dust rising, the two felt as though every bone in their body was shattered.

The two men endured the pain, and upon seeing Ren Feifan, they turned ashen and knelt down to beg for mercy, "Great one, we... we failed to recognize Taishan and beg for your forgiveness... We’re willing to be your servants!"

"Servants?" Ren Feifan sneered, "Trash like you fit to be my servants?"

The next second, Ren Feifan gathered a flame of Spiritual Fire in his hand and directly slashed at the two!

As soon as the Spiritual Fire touched the center of their chests, it pierced through like a needle in the blink of an eye.

In an instant.

A red glow burst from the two as the center.

In a flash, the two were consumed by the flames, leaving no trace of their bodies.

"Too weak."

Ren Feifan’s voice fell lightly, then he looked towards Dragon Lady and the others, "Let’s go, it’s about time."

Just as Ren Feifan was about to leave, the old man quickly brought the young girl over and thanked Ren Feifan, "Thank you, master, for your willingness to save us. Truly, we are immensely grateful. If not for you, we would likely have already perished at the hands of the Black-stripe Triple Wraiths."

"No need to thank me. I killed them for my own reasons, that’s all," Ren Feifan said.

The young girl also approached Ren Feifan, bowed slightly, and said thank you.

Neither humble nor arrogant.

Ren Feifan nodded without saying much.

For some reason, he always felt that there was a mysterious aura about her that was inscrutable.

The old man knew that the road ahead would inevitably become more perilous, and the buyer behind the scenes would naturally send stronger experts upon learning of their failure.

With his capabilities, he couldn’t protect the young lady at all.

But the young man before him was undoubtedly the best choice; from his actions, he was definitely a top-tier expert!

Moreover, he could sense the sword behind the young man carried a strong murderous aura.

Once unsheathed, its power would surely be terrifying.

Only by seeking the protection of this young man would they have a chance to safely reach that place.

This young man was their only choice!
