Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Death of Long Tian

  He was a man with an air of eccentricity, with purple long hair and silver-gray eyes. His face was pale without any blood color, and his face had a neutral beauty, if not for the Adam's apple, it would be impossible to tell whether he was a man or a woman.

  The man was not tall, only about 1.75 meters, and looked quite thin and weak, appearing to be in his early twenties. However, the cautious expression on Kelly's face as he clutched his abdomen in pain made everyone present realize that this guy was absolutely not simple.

  "Kerry, are you okay?" Ye Feng saw that Kerry's abdomen, which she was covering with her hand, had a faint trace of blood seeping through, and he walked over to her side.

  "I'm fine, just a flesh wound, this guy is strong." Kelly's breathing was slightly rapid.

  "Rub this on!" Ye Feng handed a bottle of topical medicine to Kelly.

  Cary hesitated for a moment before taking the medicine handed over by Ye Feng.

  Ye Feng blocked Kaili's path and rushed towards the man, "Who are you? Why did you attack?"

  "What am I? An ignorant human, I am the great Baron Karlbey!" The man raised his hands high, displaying his greatness to the crowd.

  "Sorry, I've never heard of any Chinese baron, and even if there was one, it's got nothing to do with us," Ye Feng said bluntly.

  "What? Even the great Baron Karby hasn't heard of me, have all the hunters forgotten my former glory now......" Upon hearing Ye Feng say this, Karby realized that his name seemed to hold little intimidation power over his opponent.

  "Wait a minute, you're Karlbi of the Blood Clan? The White Platinum Hunter from two hundred years ago?" Yifan finally extracted the name from the complex information in his mind.

  "This little doll isn't bad, and she even knows me. However, please call me Baron Karlbi." Karlbi revealed a triumphant smile.

  "So, great Mr. Karl, may I ask what brings you to this mysterious land of China? Are you here for tourism?" Yifan carefully asked the other party with a hint of familiarity.

  Ye Feng then silently pulled Kelly back step by step, and after applying the ointment Ye Feng had given her, the wound on her abdomen quickly recovered. If it weren't for the bloodstains still on her clothes, she would have almost thought that everything that happened earlier was just an illusion.

  "Travel? You think I'm crazy?! If it wasn't for the generous payment of this mission, I wouldn't have come to this godforsaken place. There are too many strong people in the East, and there are also many who have prejudices against our Dark World. If we're not careful, we might get killed. Although Carl is already very powerful, who knows if some even stronger guy will suddenly pop out of nowhere...". Karl vented his dissatisfaction without any reserve.

  "Uh... Lord Baron Karl, may I ask what mission you've accepted this time?" Yifan's face was full of smiles, but his heart was stuck in his throat.

  "Judging by your appetite, I might as well tell you. Someone offered me 200 million dollars to take out a guy named Long Tian. To be honest, this is the biggest deal I've ever made in my life, which is why I came all the way from England." Carl's words sank everyone's hearts to the bottom of the valley.

  "Baron Karbi, can we discuss something? I'll give you 500 million dollars if you abandon this mission. It's more than double your reward, think about it. We've accepted a mission to protect this person, and he's our friend, so we can't possibly give up on that." Yifan knew that resorting to force would be extremely unwise, as this guy was already one of the top hunters among many when he was a White Gold Hunter back in the day. Now, although still a baron after 200 years, who knows how strong he's become over those two centuries? He decided to try a different approach to avoid this crisis.

  "Hmm, young man, you're really putting me in a difficult position..." Karl's expression was clearly somewhat hesitant.

  "If you still don't think $500 million is enough, then... how about $1 billion?! As long as you're willing to give up this task, I can transfer the money into your account tomorrow. I believe that as a member of the Blood Clan, you are a man of your word."

  "Young man, although I'm curious where you got so much money from, since you dared to say it in front of me, you must have some backing. However... unfortunately, I can't let this task slide or give up on it... because this is an S-level special task, and the conditions for failure or abandonment are permanent loss of White Gold Hunter qualifications and a credibility score reset to zero. Maybe if I followed what you said and gave up on this task, I could really get 1 billion dollars, but 1 billion dollars can be earned back with just 10 S-level tasks. As an immortal being like myself, with a long life ahead of me, if I lost my White Gold Hunter status, I really don't know what kind of fun I'd find anymore... You should know that with my current abilities, only S-level tasks can bring me some new and interesting feelings..." Karlbi's answer was clearly negative, instantly making the atmosphere tense.

  Hearing Karl's response, Yifan knew that no matter how much he increased the price, it would be useless. For Ye Feng, he could only choose to fight!

  "It seems that's the case, Mr. Kalbi. It looks like we're destined to be enemies...". Yi Fan let out a low sigh and secretly gave Ye Feng a signal before charging towards Kalbi.

  Ye Feng walked up to Ling Kai's side and whispered in his ear, "Take Dragon Brother away, we have people here!"

  Ling Kai wanted to say something, but was caught by Ye Feng's collar and thrown out towards the small hut. He landed right at the door and looked back at Ye Feng and the others before rushing inside.

  Ye Feng and his three companions charged forward and launched a fierce attack on Kalbi, but Kalbi did not fight back.

  "It seems you have no idea about the gap in our powers, your attacks can't cause me any harm." Karlbi looked up at Lingkai who was escaping with Longtian on his back, and suddenly exerted force to blast the three of them away. "If I wanted to, I could kill all of you instantly..."

  As soon as the words fell, Ye Feng felt a severe pain in his abdomen, and he looked up with a shocked face. However, he found that Carl was still standing on the spot, while Yi Fan and Kaylee were also covering their wounded abdominal injuries like him. The attack that pierced through the abdominal cavity made several people lose their due combat effectiveness.

  "This is the difference in strength, you can't even catch a glimpse of how I'm attacking with your eyes..." As soon as the words fell, Karlbi disappeared again.

  Ye Feng vaguely saw a blurry black shadow appear behind Ling Kai, and he rushed to the distant place, shouting hoarsely, "No!!!"

  Then, with eyes wide open, Karlby's left hand reached into Long Tian's back and emerged from Ling Kai's chest, pulling out his blood-soaked left hand. A cold smile spread across Karlby's face, "Mission accomplished..."

  "Brother Long......" Ye Feng's face was streaming with tears as he watched the two people collapse in the distance, his right hand slowly clenched into a fist, and he looked up at Karlby with a cold gaze. "I told you, for everything you've done to help me, I will repay you... Now, all I can do is kill him to avenge you!!!"
