Hundred Tiger Tower

Luo Feng quickly stored the horn of the single-horned iron rhinoceros into his space ring, telepathically shouting, "Hurry, a squad is ambushing us from behind!"

"What?" Hong and Lei Shen were startled.

Without daring to hesitate, the five immediately darted into the nearby mountain forest, leaving behind the massive corpses of the single-horned iron rhinoceroses. Twelve kilometers, for Star-level experts… if it were outside, they could traverse it in a second. Even in this Realm Lord's World, where speed was reduced, it wouldn't take long.

In the mountain forest.

Luo Feng, stepping on his Sky-Shuttle, flipped his hand, and a shield and alloy battle knife appeared. He was also wearing ordinary alloy battle armor. Alloy battle armor, battle knives, and similar items weren't expensive because they offered no amplification effects! However, their material was extremely tough, reaching D-grade.

D-grade alloy, if it were for a spaceship, would naturally be astonishingly expensive. But for battle knives, alloy battle armor, and shields, it was quite cheap.

"Sizzle, sizzle~~" A blood-red battle helmet quickly extended from Luo Feng's head.

This was an extension of the Moyun Vine.

...

Holding a hexagonal shield and an alloy battle knife, with the cold gleam of the metal battle armor covering Luo Feng's body, it looked at first glance like leather armor. He moved as fast as lightning, fleeing rapidly, his heart anxious. "Babata, how strong is that squad?"

"Seven Ninth-tier Star-level, one Second-tier Star-level, and one Third-tier Star-level," Babata replied.

"Damn it," Luo Feng cursed inwardly.

"The enemy is fast, and the distance is closing. 2.8 kilometers… 2.6 kilometers…" Babata continuously updated Luo Feng.

"There are seven Ninth-tier Star-level behind us," Luo Feng telepathically informed Hong, Lei Shen, Aogu, and Tienan River.

"Big trouble."

Hong and the others felt the pressure.

At this moment, the pursuing squad was rapidly closing the distance with Luo Feng's squad, which was now less than a kilometer.

...

With a chiseled face, and skin as translucent as jade, allowing the fine blood vessels beneath to be seen, the youth, whose eyes occasionally narrowed and whose smile seemed harmless, was currently wearing a force battle armor that resembled leather. He carried a giant battle knife almost as tall as himself on his back and was being pulled by a companion's hand, rapidly pursuing them with the help of the companion's spirit weapon.

"Hmph." He lowered his head and glanced at the smart optical computer screen on his arm. "Two Ninth-tier Star-level, and three First-tier and Second-tier Star-level? Hmph! So weak!"

"Six hundred meters, five hundred meters, four hundred meters…" He continuously calculated the distance.

He had already seen the squad rapidly moving ahead.

Many of the other eight team members wore goggles, which also functioned as screens, occasionally displaying strings of data.

"Surround them!" he ordered telepathically.

"Yes!"

Seven of the other eight team members responded.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The group of team members quickly dispersed, surrounding Luo Feng's five.

...

Luo Feng's five stopped, looking at the nine people who had surrounded them. This was still within the Longsuo Mountain Range, with numerous towering trees. Some of these ancient trees bore claw marks left by fierce beasts. Such hard trees were rare in the cosmos, a testament to the Realm Lord's power.

"Who's in charge?" the leading youth among the nine shouted, his gaze sweeping over Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen. Clearly, in the Cosmic Apprentice Mercenary Assessment, most teams arranged for stronger members to protect important young members. The weaker ones were often the ones giving orders.

"I am."

Luo Feng stared at the youth. "Who are you, and what do you want?"

"Haha, your question is truly foolish. Don't you know what we want?" The youth sneered, his eyes filled with condescension, as if looking at beggars. "Kid, hand over all six horns of the single-horned iron rhinoceros, and I might spare your lives. If not…"

The youth let out a few cold laughs.

Luo Feng looked at the group surrounding them, and a large amount of data appeared on the screen of his arm guard.

"Why waste words with them? Just kill them," a girl in black battle armor beside the youth said coldly. The youth was annoyed inwardly: "This idiot, doesn't she see that the other side also has two Ninth-tier Star-level? Although we can win, if they fight to the death, even if we kill them, our side will probably suffer casualties! Isn't it better to get the single-horned iron rhinoceros horns without losing anyone?"

"My comrades are getting impatient," the youth's gaze swept over Luo Feng's five. "Give us an answer."

Surrounded in the center.

Among Luo Feng's five, Tienan River and Aogu naturally looked to their master, Luo Feng. Hong and Lei Shen also exchanged glances with Luo Feng.

"The horns of the single-horned iron rhinoceros?" Luo Feng flipped his hand, producing a horn, and looked at the youth. "A horn? We can give you one."

"Six! Not one less!"

The youth said coldly.

The other eight stared at Luo Feng's five. They had seen 21 single-horned iron rhinoceroses drinking by the lake earlier, 16 of which died, and 10 horns were taken by the initial group… so they were certain that this team, controlled by yellow-skinned, black-haired humans, must have taken six horns.

"Black-haired kid!" the girl beside him shouted. "We are from the Hundred Tiger Tower. Hand over the horns quickly, or else… hmph!"

Hundred Tiger Tower? One of the four great cosmic organizations within the Black Dragon Mountain Empire?

Coming from the Hundred Tiger Tower meant this group was definitely well-trained, at least in combat, they were formidable.

"Are you going to hand them over or not?" The youth was getting annoyed.

"Stop wasting words with them," the girl urged.

Luo Feng's five, in the center of the encirclement, also felt immense pressure. Luo Feng also sensed that the other group was clearly losing patience.

"Aogu," Luo Feng telepathically communicated.

"Master," the elder Aogu quickly replied telepathically.

"Once we start, do as I told you before we came to the Realm Lord's World. Do you know what to do?"

"Understood," Aogu replied.

Luo Feng coldly scanned the Hundred Tiger Tower squad, his gaze sweeping over the Ninth-tier Star-level wearing goggles, finally landing on the young man and woman. "At most, one horn for you. If that's not enough… I warn you, once certain things happen, you'll regret it endlessly."

"Trying to scare me?" The youth sneered.

"Hmph." The girl turned and exchanged glances with the youth.

Both retreated almost simultaneously.

Boom! Boom! Boom! …

Except for one Ninth-tier Star-level protecting the two of them, the other six erupted simultaneously. And at the moment of their eruption, Luo Feng, standing beside Aogu, narrowed his eyes coldly. Swish! A blue blade shard appeared out of thin air. Aogu's spirit energy was like a hand, firmly grasping the body of the blade shard, leaving only the edge exposed!

The edge, however, had a faint, eerie red tint.

Yes!

This was the Chihun Copper Mother after being plated with a layer of alloy, with only its sharp 'edge' uncovered. This move… was one of Luo Feng's current major killing techniques! To have his strongest spirit reader slave, Aogu, use the Chihun Copper Mother shard. With the Chihun Copper Mother's sharpness, if Aogu used it, it could probably even injure Universe-level beings!

"Whoosh!"

The blue blade light cut an arc, flashing like lightning towards the charging Ninth-tier Star-level enemies.

"Master, be careful, it's a spirit attack," Aogu, who had already spread his spirit energy, quickly warned. He only used half of his mental power to control the Chihun Copper Mother shard, with the rest of his attention entirely on 'defense,' because the soul defenses of Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen couldn't withstand the soul attacks of Ninth-tier Star-level spirit readers.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Aogu blocked the spirit attacks of three individuals.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

The blue blade light easily swept past the surrounding Ninth-tier Star-level individuals. Under the extremely fast and incomparably sharp blade light, the warriors and spirit readers, wearing goggles and displaying serious, confident expressions, all had their heads sliced off, their skulls exploding and brains splattering. In their dying moments, their eyes beneath the goggles were filled with terror.

"Impossible!" The youth and girl, who were confidently watching from not far away, stared with wide eyes in shock.

Ninth-tier Star-level!

So easily defeated?

They didn't know… how terrifyingly sharp the spirit weapon their opponent was using was! When the Yunmo Star Ship accelerated, it could directly collide with asteroids and small planets, cutting through a small planet directly! It could charge through asteroid fields, its sharpness was unimaginable!

Even Realm Lord experts, under the acceleration of the Yunmo Star Ship, its sharp edge could easily cut through them!

"Flee!" The youth immediately telepathically ordered his subordinate, a Ninth-tier Star-level spirit reader, beside him.

The subordinate had to take both the youth and the girl.

"Leave her, hurry," the youth ordered.

"Yes."

In terms of status, the girl was lower than the youth. And this bodyguard also knew… if the opponent's spirit reader's speed picked up, he probably wouldn't be able to escape if he carried two people. "Whoosh!" The bodyguard directly took the youth, stepping on his spirit weapon, and quickly turned into a streak of light, fleeing.

"Wait for me," the girl's face instantly turned pale. Then she turned her head and saw the blue streak of light that had killed six Ninth-tier Star-level cut an arc and fly towards her.

The girl's face was distorted with rage, her eyes full of venom. "Qiu Yu!!!"

Puff!

Her head exploded!

...

In just a blink of an eye, six Ninth-tier Star-level, including an elite young member of the Hundred Tiger Tower, were all killed! And the youth named 'Qiu Yu' and his bodyguard had long since fled.

"Don't chase them," Luo Feng said.

"Yes, Master."

Aogu and Tienan River respectfully replied.

Luo Feng directly put the Chihun Copper Mother shard back into his ring. To chase that person, Aogu would have to go alone! And Aogu couldn't bring anyone; if he did, Aogu probably wouldn't be able to catch up… In that case, only four people would be left behind, which would be very unsafe in the Longsuo Mountain Range.

Moreover, Luo Feng couldn't let Aogu take the Chihun Copper Mother shard and go far away from him to chase someone.

"Babata, is it okay that they escaped?" Luo Feng asked inwardly.

"It's fine! He doesn't know your identity information at all. Even if he did, you have no fixed abode, and even if you return, you'll return to Earth. What's there to fear?" Babata said nonchalantly. "The barefoot aren't afraid of those with shoes. You're the barefoot one now."
