"Oh... oh..." Ryan struggled, unable to utter a sound as his throat was constricted!

Chen Feng gripped his neck with his right hand, lifting him clean off the ground with a single hand. "Let Deputy Steward Ryan go!" Dozens of Ryan’s subordinates roared in unison and charged forward!

"Scram!" Chen Feng let out a low growl, shaking his left hand. With a bang, a ball of pale blue flame materialized in his palm, which he flicked toward the foremost charging brute.

The brute was instantly incinerated to ash without even a scream! His efforts to conceal himself and prevent his tracks from being discovered were solely to protect John and Yas.

If he held back now while they were in danger, how could that be in line with Chen Feng’s nature? "Ah!" A collective gasp erupted from the crowd, horror flashing in their eyes as they stumbled backward.

This group consisted of mere servants running errands for the Lord's Estate; they were only slightly stronger than average men with practically no cultivation. Now, witnessing the red-haired youth reduce a living man to ash in under two seconds, the sheer shock shattered their courage.

For a moment, none dared to advance! Chen Feng ignored the others, his icy gaze fixed on Ryan in his hand, devoid of any emotion: "Who sent you?

Was it Jimmy!" "Oh... oh..." Ryan writhed in the air, then slammed violently against the ground, left dizzy and disoriented!

"Cough, cough..." Ryan, regaining his breath, glared at the red-haired youth and spat, "You know I’m from the Lord's Estate, yet you dare bother me?" Ryan’s neck had been seized, and his face was tilted back, so he missed the sight of Chen Feng incinerating the brute. Unaware of the youth's power, he became arrogant upon seeing Chen Feng’s young age.

So what if this youth was a Fighter? As the Deputy Steward of the Lord’s Estate, not just Fighters, but even Martial Masters dared not speak loudly to him.

This youth dared to choke him—how could he swallow that insult! By all logic, a person who achieved the status of Deputy Steward in the Lord's Estate was no idiot.

Seeing his subordinates hesitate, he should have realized this youth was not someone to be trifled with and rationally chosen to remain silent. Yet, he still spoke as he did.

This wasn't because he wasn't afraid of death. Years of being steeped in the might of the Lord’s Estate had taught him that in Gnam Town, virtually no one dared challenge the Estate’s authority!

Regardless of whether the opponent was a Fighter or a Martial Master, merely uttering the words "Lord’s Estate" would make anyone show deference! Although this youth possessed some strength, compared to the Lord’s Estate, he was nothing!

It was precisely this sense of backing that kept Ryan from panicking. He knew that once he named the Lord’s Estate, the youth would instantly adopt a smile, claim it was a misunderstanding, and offer apologies.

Preparing to accept the apology, Ryan looked down his nose at the red-haired youth opposite him. Seeing the youth remain silent, he was about to roar again, but then a flash of pale blue flame passed by, followed immediately by intense, tearing pain in his left arm, severed completely!

The break point was not dripping blood but scorched black, emitting a faint, savory aroma of burnt flesh. "Ah..." Ryan screamed, on the verge of passing out!

"I don't want to hear nonsense!" Chen Feng treated burning off the man’s arm with his Azure Flame as if it were a trivial chore, his expression unchanged! Ryan clutched his severed left arm, cold sweat streaming down his face.

Waves of excruciating pain assaulted his brain, yet he fiercely fought unconsciousness. From the decisiveness the youth had shown, he knew that if he blacked out, the other would mercilessly burn him to ash!

"It... Young Master Jimmy...

sent me!" Ryan choked out the words, enduring the agony. "As expected!" Chen Feng clenched his fist, a powerful killing intent surging in his heart.

He hadn't expected the enemy to discover his tracks so quickly! If he hadn't returned at precisely the right moment, John and Yas might already be in their grasp!

In truth, Chen Feng misunderstood; Ryan had only come to ask John to forge a golden box for him, with no intention of using John and Yas as leverage. This misunderstanding in their respective perceptions caused both sides to err.

"Fine! You forced my hand!

I had planned to teach you a lesson tonight, but it seems you couldn't wait!" Chen Feng’s words were icy, his red hair whipping in the wind, his contorted face terrifyingly fierce! "Where is the Lord's Estate?" Chen Feng demanded.

"The Lord's Estate?" Ryan was momentarily stunned. Did this guy intend to go to the Lord's Estate?

However, if he could lure him there, his own life might be saved. He was well aware of the protective power within the Estate; entering without Martial Master cultivation was a clear death sentence!

Though this youth struck ruthlessly, his age was evident. If anyone claimed he had already reached the cultivation of a Martial Master, Ryan would never believe it!

"The Lord's Estate is at the easternmost edge of Gnam Town. It’s a cluster of tall buildings!" Ryan replied.

Chen Feng glanced at the man’s darting eyes, knowing he wouldn't get the full truth from him. Without hesitation, he flicked a pale blue flame from his palm.

Ryan was completely unprepared. With a scream, he was incinerated to ash!

The surrounding onlookers were ashen-faced, trembling uncontrollably. "Devil!" Two people, unable to bear it any longer, shouted and fled first toward Gnam Town.

Chen Feng remained expressionless. He shook his left hand twice, sending two pale blue flames like earth-burrowing rats skimming across the ground after the two who had fled.

With a bang, the two were instantly reduced to nothing more before they could even cry out, thanks to the power of the Dark Hook technique! "Whoever flees meets this end!" Chen Feng's icy words echoed in their ears.

Seeing Chen Feng's cruel methods, the remaining men were drenched in cold sweat, their legs wobbling, terrified to the point of collapse. These were ordinary men who had never witnessed such a bloody scene!

Although there were no scattered limbs or flesh, this silent method of killing, combined with the cold atmosphere, placed immense pressure on them! Seeing that none dared to flee, Chen Feng...

"It... it’s at the easternmost edge of Gnam Town!" the group stammered.

"East side of the city?" Chen Feng nodded. It seemed the man he just killed hadn't lied to him.

He glanced at the dozens of sturdy men and walked toward John and Arthur. John had been utterly stunned by Chen Feng's display of power and skill earlier and hadn't snapped out of it.

Arthur, however, saw Chen Feng approaching and immediately hugged his thigh. "Big brother!" His eyes turned red, and he burst into tears!

Seeing John’s vacant stare and Arthur’s loud weeping, Chen Feng believed his suspicions were correct, and his anger intensified. He patted Arthur's head, saying, "Big brother is going to get revenge for you!" He gently pushed Arthur aside and headed toward Gnam Town!

The dozens of strong men watched the terrifying red-haired youth gradually depart. Relief washed over them.

This person was simply a devil; he had killed several people without a change in expression. They quickly resolved to get far away from someone like this, lest they die without even knowing how!

Just as the group was secretly congratulating themselves on escaping, a sound like a fierce gust of wind ripped across the ground ahead. They looked up and their faces changed drastically—it was that strange, pale blue flame!

With dozens of screams, these gray-clad men were all burned to ash, sprinkling evenly over the snowy ground in front of the blacksmith shop! Only then did John recover from his dazed state.

Seeing the ground covered in ash, he immediately vomited violently... Though these brutes didn't harm John, what about John?

What about Arthur? Once he acted, he wouldn't leave any witnesses behind!

Leaving survivors would only bring trouble, Chen Feng thought to himself as he walked. His figure transformed into a streak of light, rushing straight toward Gnam Town!

He had already notified King Leander the Wyvern Lord through a special method. Thinking of John's vacant look and Arthur's pained expression, he could no longer restrain himself, accelerating his pace!

"Jimmy! You wait, I will make you pay in blood!" Chen Feng muttered inwardly.

Due to the immense speed, clumps of pristine white snow were kicked up behind him... Gnam Town soon came into view.

Chen Feng fixed his bearing and flew down the straight street. It was around four or five in the afternoon, and the streets weren't very crowded.

Chen Feng’s body was like a faint shadow; even if someone saw him, they probably wouldn't believe their eyes. After traveling seven or eight li, he spotted a grand mansion ahead.

Beneath the huge red archway was inscribed the name of the place—The Lord’s Mansion! It was indeed it!

Chen Feng breathed a sigh of relief and strode up to the gate. Guarding the front of the main gate were two robust Level One Fighters.

Employing Level One Fighters as gatekeepers alone demonstrated the Lord’s Estate's dominance. The two Level One Fighters watched the expressionless red-haired youth approach, simultaneously roaring, "What are you doing here?

This is the Lord’s Mansion..." They started walking forward as they spoke. Chen Feng demanded, "Let Jimmy come out!" "Who do you think you are, daring to address the Young Master by his name directly!" one Fighter sneered.

Chen Feng glanced at the two Fighters, his right hand filling with swirling energy, his ten fingers instantly becoming sharper than steel claws. He lunged toward their chests!

Reverse Peeling! Splat!

Splat! Two sounds of blades piercing flesh echoed.

The two Level One Fighters were instantly torn into four pieces by Chen Feng's claws! A ball of Azure Flame materialized in his palm, burning away the blood from his fingertips.

He strode up the stone steps beneath the gatehouse, reaching the huge red gate! Chen Feng let out a fierce roar, shaking his right hand three times in quick succession, rapidly releasing three Dark Hooks.

The pale blue flames slammed directly into the tightly closed gate! With a tremendous BOOM, the massive red gate instantly exploded into fragments!

This deafening sound immediately caused a crowd to pour out from the Lord’s Mansion. Facing the surging people, Chen Feng remained unfazed, spitting out a single icy sentence at the crowd.

"Hand over Jimmy, or everyone in the Lord’s Mansion dies!" His arrogant words, icy gaze, slender frame, and the crescent moon emblazoned on his back—in this moment, Chen Feng and Iori Yagami were strikingly similar! PS: It's finally on the shelves.
