Chapter Nine is interested in you
Kens furrowed his brow as he looked at the task scroll in his hand, somewhat undecided.
This quest scroll was exactly that somewhat strange C-rank mission Badasu had received from the Mercenary Guild.
"Kaito, what do you think? This time I'm injured and can't go on a mission, so it's all up to you." Kens said with a bitter smile as he looked at the wounds on his body.
"Hehe, it's okay." Liu Feng smiled and comforted, "I think we should take on this task. If our mercenary group completes it, we can be promoted to a C-rank mercenary group."
"Captain, don't worry, I've got this. I'm Badasu." The dwarf said with a confident tone, patting his chest, still unwilling to give up on their first C-rank mission.
" You?" Kens glared at him fiercely. "It's because of you that people can't feel at ease, and every task becomes such a hassle."
"Hmph." Ken's sudden scolding made Badass awkwardly scratch his head, and he kept making eye contact with Liu Feng beside him.
Liu Feng saw Badas's comical face and couldn't help but smile: "Captain, don't blame Badas either, he meant well."
Hearing Liu Feng's persuasion, Kens finally let go of Badass and smiled: "Little Feng, then I'll hand over these three cubs to you."
Liu Feng smiled and nodded slightly.
Suddenly a surge of emotion, stood up, gazing out at the north, with an air of excitement and... a hint of wariness?
Kens three people were stunned by what they saw.
"Xiao Feng, what's this?"
"Must be the leader of the Enforcement Squad...". Liu Feng smiled lightly, without a hint of fear.
Kens heard but didn't speak, his face changed color, he stood up anxiously and kept clenching his fists.
"Never mind, Xiao Feng, take these three cubs away quickly, don't worry about me." Kens gritted his teeth and said seriously.
"Captain, you don't have much confidence in me, do you? The outcome is still undecided." Liu Feng could only respond to Kens' pessimistic attitude with a wry smile.
Kens was stunned. He really hadn't thought of it that way. In his mind, Liu Feng was at most eighth rank. Although he was talented enough, but he was still so young.
After all, a strong Starry Sky warrior is a rare existence in the human world.
Although there is only one grade difference between the ninth and eighth grades, the distance between them cannot be counted as the same.
A 9th-level Star General can easily defeat three 8th-level strongmen.
That's the gap in between.
Liu Feng gazed at the powerful aura rising continuously from the north, and his heart felt an inexplicable excitement.
Turning back, he smiled at Kens and others: "Everyone, wait for me to come back, then go complete the task."
Before anyone could react, his figure flashed and he had already disappeared into thin air.
The four people left with a gloomy expression, let out a deep sigh.
Liu Feng was flying rapidly in mid-air, constantly chasing after that powerful and moving aura.
"Heh heh, thinking of going to the outskirts? I had that in mind too." Sensing the purpose behind the breath, Liu Feng chuckled and followed closely.
Two powerful auras rose from the "Sun Never Sets", boisterously piercing through, attracting the attention of many strong individuals, but no one dared to step forward.
Although it is unclear who the owner of that strong aura behind is, there are still people who are familiar with the one in front.
"Sun Never Sets" First Strongest: Leader of the Law Enforcement Team, 9th Stage Starry Sky Strongman, Ao Hao.
But as for the aura that was no less than Ao Hao's behind him, everyone's hearts were also shocked and puzzled.
Where did this starry strongman come from? He's actually evenly matched with Ao Hao.
Liu Feng constantly borrowed the help of the tall buildings around him, firmly locking onto the aura in front of him.
A layer of true energy forms outside the body, blocking the wind blades produced by high speed from causing any harm to the person.
Looking at the figure in the distance, half-hidden and half-revealed, Liu Feng's mouth curved into a beautiful arc.
"You're a great opponent indeed."
The two of them slowly left the edge of the "city that never sleeps", and their field of vision gradually broadened.
Another endless vast grassland.
Green ocean, the best place for fighting.
Looking at the vast grassland, Liu Feng's heart surged with waves of heroic spirit, and a soft whistle echoed through the sky.
"Hey, you guys up ahead, stop already! If we keep running, it'll be Beastman territory."
"Haha, alright, let's do it here." The figure in front also felt Liu Feng's battle intent and stopped, letting out a hearty laugh.
The sound is like thunder, rolling and unceasing.
Liu Feng looked at the sturdy man in front of him and couldn't help but secretly admire him.
"What a refreshing fellow."
"Haha, I wonder which great master from the mainland this young brother is a disciple of?" The big man asked with a smile, thinking that only a world-renowned master could have trained such an excellent rising star.
Seeing Ao Hao's confusion, Liu Feng didn't explain and slightly bowed his head in a polite gesture: "I'm Liu Feng, my family's master dislikes me for being foolish and doesn't allow me to reveal his great name outside."
It was obviously an excuse, but since he didn't want to say anything, Ao Hao wouldn't force him either, and just nodded.
Su's face suddenly turned serious and he said: "Liu Feng, was it you who committed the massacre of the Mercenary Guild?"
For this question, Liu Fei had no unusual expression, just a nonchalant nod.
Seeing Liu Feng nod in acknowledgement, Ao Hao's face changed and he said coldly: "So you think that 'Ri Bu Luo' doesn't have anyone who can deal with you? That's why you're acting so recklessly?"
"Haha, Ao Hua, this is getting serious. The matters between me and the Mercenary Group of Wild Ideas are all personal grudges. Your... organization seems to have no right to interfere?" Liu Feng smiled slightly, his face calm, but his tone somewhat sharp.
Ao Hao's face changed again, his eyes narrowing: "But in 'Sun Never Sets' there is a public dueling arena, if you had killed him on the dueling arena, I wouldn't have anything to say, but... you didn't."
Liu Feng's sword-shaped eyebrows slightly raised: "So, what does sir mean?"
"I'll catch you and take you back."
"Oh? Then it depends on whether the adults have what it takes."
The atmosphere between the two was heavy, and even the gentle breeze around them seemed to have come to a standstill at this moment.
"Hehe", amidst the escalating atmosphere, Liu Feng suddenly let out a soft laugh, breaking the atmosphere that Ao Hao had carefully built up.
"What's so funny?" asked Ao Hao, who was sitting opposite him with an unpleasant expression.
"I think adults must have some intention towards me?" Liu Feng's black pupils flashed with a hint of sharpness, and he asked.
"Oh? What makes you think that?" Ao Hao heard this, and couldn't help but pause for a moment. His face showed disdain, but the surprise in his eyes revealed his true intentions.
"You're also aware of my abilities, yet you still relentlessly pursue those insignificant ones. I think that the trash from the Mercenary Guild wouldn't be enough to provoke you into action, would they?" Liu Feng smiled slightly and continued: "But instead, you're fixated on me. In this case, it seems like you've taken an interest in me."
Ao Hao's expressionless face had been listening to Liu Feng's analysis all along, until the end, when he heard the conclusion, and only then did he reveal a hint of a smile: "That's right, I'm interested in you."
