Chapter 26 - Chapter 26: Mu She

"Who goes there? Stop!"

"Do you even know where you are?"

At the entrance of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's base, several guards saw Lin Feng marching straight in and immediately shouted at him.

However, before they could react, they were swiftly knocked unconscious, and Lin Feng continued forward without slowing down.

At that moment, a thin and wiry man happened to step out of the base.

Seeing what had just happened, he immediately roared, "Where did this brat come from? How dare you cause trouble in my Wolf Head Mercenary Group?!"

"A Nine-Star Dou Zhe? That must be Gan Mu."

Sensing the man's strength, Lin Feng quickly recalled the information he had gathered on the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.

Without hesitation, his figure shot forward like a hunting leopard, charging directly at Gan Mu!

"You little bastard! You dare attack a Nine-Star Dou Zhe? I'll have your head hung at the town entrance for everyone to see!"

Gan Mu clearly had no idea of the danger he was in.

With a sinister grin, his pale green Dou Qi surged, and he confidently charged forward to meet Lin Feng's attack.

Lin Feng's crimson Dou Qi rapidly condensed in his palm, meeting Gan Mu's strike head-on!

The moment their attacks collided, Gan Mu's pupils shrank violently.

He glanced at Lin Feng in shock as a single thought flashed through his mind—

"I underestimated him!"

Before he could react, his body was sent flying backward uncontrollably!

But Lin Feng had no intention of letting him off easily.

With quick and forceful strides, he rushed forward, reaching Gan Mu before he could hit the ground.

With a crushing punch, he smashed Gan Mu's face with a Crush Rock Fist!

"Bang!"

The force of the blow sent Gan Mu accelerating once more, launching him straight into a nearby building!

"Boom!"

The sound of Gan Mu's body colliding with the stone wall was thunderous, instantly drawing the attention of nearby mercenaries.

"What the hell is going on?!"

"Who the fuck are you? How dare you cause trouble in our Wolf Head Mercenary Group?!"

"Damn it! Kill that brat!"

Seeing one of their own—a high-ranking member—embedded in the wall, the mercenaries quickly pieced together what had happened.

Their expressions darkened with fury, and they cursed angrily at Lin Feng.

Several mercenaries rushed forward to pull Gan Mu from the wall, but the moment they checked his condition, their faces turned pale with horror.

"Shit! Second Captain is dead!"

"What?! Impossible!"

"Second Captain was a Nine-Star Dou Zhe! In Qingshan Town, only the leaders of the three major mercenary groups could possibly defeat him!"

"Yeah! You must've had too much fun at the Cui Hua Brothel last night and started seeing things!"

At that moment, a mercenary with a sharp memory took a closer look at Lin Feng.

His expression suddenly changed, and he shouted in alarm, "Wait a minute… He… he's Lin Feng!"

"What?! Lin Feng?!"

"Captain said whoever catches him gets a reward of a hundred thousand gold coins!"

"…"

Now that they knew his identity, the mercenaries quickly closed in, surrounding Lin Feng from all sides.

However, the sight of Gan Mu's fresh corpse on the ground kept them wary—no one dared to be the first to attack.

Instead, they hesitated, glancing at each other, silently hoping that someone else would take the lead.

Just then—

"You useless fools! What the hell is all this noise?!"

As the mercenaries stood there uncertainly, a broad-faced, thick-bearded, and burly middle-aged man emerged from the back courtyard, roaring in anger.

The moment they saw him, one of the mercenaries rushed forward with a flattering smile.

"Captain! That brat is Lin Feng—the one you were looking for!"

"What?!"

Hearing this, Mu She's expression shifted—at first in disbelief, then quickly turning into gleeful excitement.

He had expected Lin Feng to still be on the run, chased down by his son and He Meng.

But now, he had actually come knocking on his door?

Thinking about the treasures Lin Feng supposedly carried, Mu She's eyes gleamed with greed.

He strode through the opening mercenaries had made, stepping into the encirclement, and grinned arrogantly.

"Brat, I don't care what kind of confidence brought you here, but before a Dou Shi, any Dou Zhe is nothing but an ant!"

He swept his gaze across the crowd before continuing with a smug smirk—

"Not to mention… I have dozens of Dou Zhe under my command!"

As Mu She's words fell, more and more mercenaries poured out from the surrounding buildings, joining the encirclement around Lin Feng.

It was obvious that despite Lin Feng arriving alone, Mu She still feared that it might be a trap. Thus, he had summoned every available mercenary to his side.

Seeing that all his subordinates were present, Mu She nodded in satisfaction.

Being able to climb to his current position, he had always relied on his cautious and calculating nature.

After all, in his eyes, morality was just an illusion—survival was the only priority.

Looking around, Lin Feng saw that the members of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group had surrounded him in multiple layers.

With a calm expression, he retrieved a detoxification pill from his storage ring, swallowed it, and then gave Mu She a mysterious smile.

"Oh? Is that so? Well, I don't believe you!"

The next moment, he raised his head toward the sky and shouted loudly—

"Xiao Yixian!"

"Screech!"

Just as Lin Feng's voice echoed through the air, a sharp eagle cry suddenly resounded from the distant sky.

A massive shadow swooped down, descending rapidly toward them.

Then, just a dozen meters away, a graceful figure atop a blue eagle scattered handfuls of white powder into the air.

Instantly, the open courtyard became shrouded in a descending veil of white powder.

"Ignore it! Kill him first!"

Mu She frowned deeply, sensing something off, but he still gave a cold command.

Hearing his orders, the slightly hesitant mercenaries regained their vicious resolve and charged at Lin Feng, weapons raised.

As mercenaries rushed at him from all directions, Lin Feng looked up and saw the white powder rapidly descending.

He clenched his fists tightly, his figure turning into a blur, and began striking back!

With elbows, fists, and swift kicks, he launched a fierce counterattack against the incoming mercenaries!

"Boom! Bang! Crack!"

The first few mercenaries to reach him were instantly sent flying, crashing into the ones behind them, knocking them over like dominoes.

Just as the mercenaries at the rear were about to step in and reinforce their comrades—

The white powder had already descended upon them!

Seeing the moment arrive, Lin Feng immediately activated his Crush Rock Fist, slamming his fist hard into the ground!

"Boom!"

As his Dou Qi-infused strike collided with the earth, a powerful shockwave erupted.

Since the energy had nowhere else to go, it burst outward in all directions, sending the white powder scattering violently through the air!

"Cough! Cough! Cough!"

The mercenaries felt a gust of wind rushing toward them, carrying with it the fine powder.

The moment they inhaled the powder, intense coughing fits erupted throughout the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's base!

Even Mu She wasn't spared—he too had breathed in some of the powder.

Almost instantly, a wave of discomfort surged through his body, and his expression changed drastically.

"This powder is poisonous! Fall back immediately!" he roared.

However—

His mercenaries had no strength left to listen.

A dizzying sensation overtook them, and in mere moments, one after another, they collapsed onto the ground like lifeless bodies.

"Hmph!"

Seeing this, Mu She snorted coldly.

With a sweeping motion of his arm, he unleashed a burst of Dou Qi, dispersing the white powder around him.

His cold gaze swept over the fallen mercenaries before locking onto Lin Feng.

"You little bastard! How dare you use poison?!"

Looking at the mercenaries lying motionless on the ground, Mu She's eyes turned icy as he spat out his words in rage.

Lin Feng merely laughed mockingly.

"Oh? You, an old bastard, can use numbers to bully the weak, but I can't use a little poison?"

His voice was filled with ridicule.

Hearing this, Mu She's expression twisted with fury.

"No matter what, you will die today!"
