For some reason, Chen Lei's expression had been unnatural ever since he had seen Black Bat's men. He was such a calm person, yet he could not control his emotions. In fact, Du Feng could tell that Black Bat's men were here for him. That was because the person holding the crossbow on the tree was him.
"Brother Du, don't let them escape."
Chen Lei suddenly became very nervous and put away the short knife in his left hand. He had purposely held two weapons to prevent the wolves from pouncing at him from different directions. Now that he had put away the short knife, he was going to use his real sword skills.
"I've been paid to eliminate disasters. Don't blame me if you're courting death."
The two of them were just minions in Black Bat. After accepting Old Xue's mission, he put on his equipment and followed them out. His main goal was to kill Du Feng and bring back his things. Since Chen Lei wanted to get in the way, he would kill him as well.
"Did anyone give you money? I'll pay double. How about that?"
Du Feng was not in a hurry to take out the Dragon Sword. Instead, he continued to hold the bone bow and nocked an arrow on it. He could tell that the other party wasn't his enemy, but was hired by someone else. It was not surprising that the target would hire an assassin. The Seven Kills Organization in the Lower Bound used to be like this. As long as they were paid enough, they would kill their employer.
"Double isn't enough. How about five times?"
Chen Lei was dumbfounded to see Du Feng still bargaining with them. This was a matter of life and death, so why was Du Feng still in the mood to talk business with them? Even if you're a businessman, you don't have to do this.
"I can get everything if I kill you. Why should I negotiate with you?"
The assassin squatting on the tree branch finally spoke when he heard the offer of five times the price. What he said sounded reasonable. If he killed the target, he could get all the money he had. Why would he talk about the price here? Unless Du Feng had hidden a lot of treasures somewhere else.
However, his question was a little redundant. As soon as the words left his mouth, a light flashed, and an arrow appeared in his throat. This arrow was very thin and long. If it wasn't for the tail at the end, it would have definitely pierced through his neck.
Yes, that was the arrow shot by Du Feng. He seemed to be chatting with the other party intentionally or unintentionally, but he was actually trying to distract the other party. As expected, the assassin with the crossbow in his hand fell into the trap. He was slightly distracted and an arrow pierced through his throat. The speed of the arrow completely exceeded his expectations.
"Gulp … Gulp …"
He dropped his crossbow and clutched his throat with one hand. He stared at Du Feng with wide eyes as if he wanted to say something. However, because his trachea had been pierced and his cervical vertebrae had been shattered, his throat had been leaking air, so he couldn't even speak a complete sentence.
"Don't kill me. I'm not Black Bat's man."
After Du Feng's attack succeeded, Chen Lei's reaction was not slow. He brandished his sword and charged at the other person. Unexpectedly, the other party knelt on the ground, threw away his weapon, and surrendered on the spot. What's going on? When did Black Bat's assassins become so unprofessional? Chen Lei was dumbfounded.
"I'll talk. I'll talk. Old Xue asked us to come."
Du Feng didn't even need to interrogate him. This person confessed on his own. After all this time, they weren't assassins from Black Bat at all. The real Black Bat assassins wouldn't be so weak. This was because they had received a message from the city defense guard, Old Xue. The two of them planned to kill Du Feng and make a fortune. They disguised themselves as Black Bat assassins to hide their identities and intimidate the other party.
They never expected to meet a tough opponent. Du Feng killed one of them in an instant. Without the threat of the crossbow, the remaining one was even less of a match. Therefore, he knelt on the ground and begged Du Feng and Chen Lei to spare him.
"Old Xue, you mean the Old Xue at the east gate?"
Du Feng basically knew who it was because he had heard the conversation between the city defense guards. And Chen Lei had been in Season City for so many years, so he directly called out Old Xue's name. In that case, these two people were really pretending to be Black Bat assassins. But where did their wingsuits come from?
One had to know that the wingsuits were the Black Bat assassins' special symbol. It was difficult to buy them in ordinary places. If they were pretending to be Black Bat assassins and their organization found out, they would be in trouble.
"I didn't do it. Old Xue gave it to us."
Great, this person was really willing to say anything to save his life. He betrayed Old Xue so quickly. Hearing this answer, Du Feng wasn't surprised. As a veteran city defense guard, it was normal to have some collusion with those shady organizations.
But for some reason, Chen Lei's entire body suddenly exploded with hostility. His eyes turned red. His fingers curled and grabbed the person's head. Then, he used a skill that Du Feng was very familiar with. Yes, it was the Soul Searching Technique.
Ah … This time, it was Du Feng's turn to be shocked. What was going on? Chen Lei who was usually calm and honest, why did he suddenly go crazy? The key problem was that the Soul Searching Technique was a kind of demonic art. Ordinary martial artists wouldn't know how to use it. And what was with the hostility, he was clearly a demonic cultivator.
Chen Lei used his demonic claws to suck the martial artist's blood dry. At the same time, he searched the memories in his soul. Then, he turned to look at Du Feng. His meaning was clear. My identity has been exposed. Do what you want. There were only two outcomes. Either they didn't pursue each other, or they fought to the death.
"Tsk, it's not a big deal."
With a gentle wave of his hand, Du Feng sucked the other corpse over to him. He didn't use demonic arts to suck the other party's blood dry. Instead, he threw it to the White Bone Banner. It just so happened that the White Bone Banner needed nourishment. He threw some appetizers in first. Originally, he didn't want to replenish the White Bone Banner by killing people. But since someone came to his door to seek death, there was no need to be polite.
Not only did the White Bone Banner suck the corpse dry, but it also devoured the remaining corpse that Chen Lei had sucked dry. The bones of a Heaven Tier martial artist were also useful to it.
"Hahaha, Brother Du is a kindred spirit."
Chen Lei suddenly stopped Cultivation. Demonic qi spread out from his body. He wasn't a Heaven Realm third level martial artist, but a genuine Heaven Realm eighth level demonic cultivator. Moreover, he was in the late stage of the eighth level. His strength was far stronger than it looked. Even without Du Feng's help, it was more than enough to kill those two people.
"Low profile, low profile. Don't attract others."
