The five of them were obviously in a blind spot. Because of Du Feng's concealment and sneak attack, they felt that he would definitely sneak attack. But he was the one being chased. Of course, he had the right to leave. As assassins, you should try your best to stop him from leaving. How can you hide behind a shield and wait for him to attack? What a joke.
"What should we do? Should we chase?"
The five of them looked at each other. They couldn't decide whether to chase or not. If they didn't chase, Du Feng would escape. If they chased, they would mess up the formation. Once the formation was messed up, he would sneak attack them.
Or they could just maintain the formation and move slowly. Anyway, Du Feng didn't walk very fast. Maybe they could catch up with him. The five of them maintained a defensive formation and moved towards Du Feng. Du Feng was really cooperative. He walked neither fast nor slow.
Some of the people lurking around left, but some stayed to observe. They couldn't understand whether the five of them were going to fight or not. If they weren't going to fight, then make room. What was the meaning of following him so slowly?
The five of them also felt that it was unreasonable, so they quickened their pace. But as soon as they quickened their pace, Du Feng also quickened his pace. No matter how fast they sped up, Du Feng would also speed up. He always maintained a distance that was neither too far nor too close. This was so that they couldn't catch up, but not too far away.
It was really frustrating. Could he fight or not? The younger of the five couldn't bear it anymore. He wanted to rush out and catch up with Du Feng. His pace was just a little faster, and a gap immediately appeared in the formation. As soon as the gap appeared, Du Feng disappeared from the spot.
Oh no! The five of them immediately reacted. Du Feng was going to attack. They actually neglected their defense as they walked. How could they make such a big mistake? Du Feng was too scary. He always had a way to make you let your guard down and then suddenly attack.
The five of them were so frightened that they hurriedly put their shields together and carefully defended themselves. They even kept an eye on the ground, afraid that Du Feng would suddenly drill out from the ground and launch a sneak attack. However, the attack they expected did not come. It was as if Du Feng had evaporated from the Emperor Beast Forest. No matter how long they waited, he did not appear.
In the beginning, the five of them were very patient. They had learned their lesson from the blue-robed man. At that time, the blue-robed man became impatient after waiting for half an hour, so he was ambushed by Du Feng. So they persisted in waiting for half an hour, during which they did not relax at all.
But after half an hour had passed, there was still no movement at all. What was going on? Could it be that Du Feng had really left this time and he was just bluffing just now? There was a limit to a person's willpower. The youngest member began to waver again.
"Don't move. Don't let down your guard."
This time, the captain reminded him in time. He couldn't make the same mistake again. If he made a mistake, not only would he die, but everyone would die as well. So the young member raised his spirit again. He raised his shield and stared at the surroundings, waiting for Du Feng to appear.
But another half an hour was enough. It had already been an hour, but Du Feng still did not appear. They stared until their mouths were dry and their eyes hurt. This was not the same as seclusion. Seclusion was a safe and relaxed state. They were now in a state of mental tension. In a state of tension, people were especially easy to tire out.
An hour had passed, and he still did not appear. This time, he had most likely left. The young member really could not take it anymore. So he stretched his neck to relax, thinking that this should be fine. But as soon as he stretched his neck, he saw Du Feng smiling at him not far away. He was so scared that he shivered.
Too scary. That smile was too scary. It was as if the Grim Reaper's scythe was hanging a millimeter away from his neck. A slight movement would cut off his head. He had only relaxed a little, and Du Feng immediately found a loophole.
The five of them became nervous at the same time. They quickly raised their spirits and tightened their defense, thinking of how to deal with Du Feng's attack. What was interesting was that Du Feng disappeared again, and the expected attack did not happen.
They waited. It was another bitter wait. The five of them wanted to cry. Because they were tired. Tired and nervous. They couldn't catch up, and if they gave up, they were afraid of being killed. As long as they relaxed a little, Du Feng might immediately attack. That feeling was really not good.
They waited like this for another half an hour. Their legs began to tremble. It had been an hour and a half. Even if they were chatting over tea, it should have ended by now, not to mention an actual fight.
"Are you going to make a move or not? If not, we will leave."
The young team member couldn't bear the pressure anymore and began to shout loudly. Because he did not know where Du Feng was, and he did not know what he was doing. Perhaps the other party was resting or even sleeping. However, they had to stand there nervously, gripping their shields tightly in fear of being ambushed.
Actually, his guess was right. After Du Feng disappeared, he was not in a hurry to attack. The enemy was in the light while he was in the dark. There was nothing to be nervous about. He found a place to hide and was actually meditating. Hence, the other party might be tired after an hour and a half, but he was even more energetic after an hour and a half. He even showed signs of advancing to the ninth level of the God Emperor Realm.
"You guys can leave, but don't come back."
Du Feng appeared again. This time, he was neither too close nor too far away, and he was chatting leisurely. His meaning was clear: I have never stopped you guys from leaving. As long as you guys give up on chasing me, you can leave safely. But if you don't give up, you can just wait for death. Let's see who can last longer.
"Big Brother, should we leave?"
The young member could not make a decision, so he turned to ask his leader.
"This …"
The leader was in a difficult position because he was the one who accepted the mission. He had already bragged and received the money. If he gave up now, not only would he lose the money, but his reputation would also be gone. More importantly, he would offend those big families. But if he did not give up, his brothers would not be able to take it, and he himself would not be able to.
"Go, let's go!"
In the end, he made up his mind to leave with his brothers. The money could be returned, and he could go to each family to apologize, even if he had to kneel down to them. But he could not lose his brothers' lives. If they were to lose their lives, they would not be able to get them back. Because he saw clearly that every time Du Feng killed someone, he would destroy their soul. He did not give them any chance.
