Chu Feng struck with lightning speed, knocking down the Jie Clan member and stepping on him. Such a move was far too audacious.
This left both the muscular youth and the sexy girl dumbfounded — their expressions couldn't have been more colorful — but fear was the dominant emotion. After all, they were tied to Chu Feng now, and if he'd offended the Jie Clan, they'd be dragged down with him.
"Brother, might I ask you to let him go?" The taller youth among the Jie Clan members hadn't made a move. Instead, he addressed Chu Feng respectfully.
The reason he didn't act was simple enough — after witnessing both Chu Feng's strength and his ruthlessness, fighting him would have been nothing short of suicide.
"Let him go? And would he let me off?" Chu Feng sneered.
"Brother, I, Jie Chuan, swear to the heavens that I will not hold today's matter against you. If my brother Jie Heng dares to cause you trouble, you won't even have to lift a finger — I'll teach him a lesson myself."
The taller youth raised his hand to affirm his vow, and released his aura. This young man was a Yuan Martial sixth-stage expert.
Chu Feng furrowed his brow slightly, feeling torn. His original plan had been to kill both of them and take their belongings. After all, the fact that they'd managed to evade his Mental Power meant they had to be carrying some kind of treasure.
But in Jie Chuan's eyes, Chu Feng saw genuine sincerity. And when Jie Chuan released his aura, it wasn't to show off — it was a gesture of good faith, letting Chu Feng know exactly what he was dealing with.
"Brother, my brother spoke rudely earlier. Consider this compensation."
Jie Chuan removed his own Universe Bag, then took the one from Jie Heng's waist as well. After pulling out two Spirit Realm Compasses from each, he handed both Universe Bags to Chu Feng.
Chu Feng took the Universe Bags and examined their contents. Inside were several dozen yuan beads along with some healing medicines. For ordinary people, this would have been a considerable fortune, but to Chu Feng, it was nothing special. Still, faced with Jie Chuan's sincerity, he really couldn't bring himself to get angry — because Chu Feng was the type who responded to kindness but refused to be bullied.
Chu Feng took everything out of the two Universe Bags and stuffed it into his own. Then he returned the empty bags to Jie Chuan before yanking Jie Heng up from the ground. "You've got a good brother," he said.
"I'll kill you!" The moment Jie Heng was freed, he lunged forward like a madman.
SMACK.
But before Chu Feng could even react, Jie Chuan delivered a resounding slap across Jie Heng's face and roared, "Aren't you embarrassed enough? Get the hell out of here!"
With that, Jie Chuan kicked Jie Heng a good ten meters away. Though Jie Heng was fuming, he didn't dare defy his brother. After scrambling to his feet, he said nothing — just shot Chu Feng a venomous glare before storming off.
"Brother Chu Feng, thank you for giving Jie Chuan face. Consider this a fight between strangers who've now become acquainted. If fate allows, I'll treat you to a drink someday." Jie Chuan cupped his fists at Chu Feng with a smile, then hurried off in the direction Jie Heng had gone.
"Brother Chu Feng, you've stirred up a huge mess!" Once the two had disappeared from sight, the muscular youth's face was full of terror.
"You really shouldn't have let them go. That was literally releasing a tiger back to the mountain." The sexy girl was even more blunt.
"If you're scared, you can turn back now. I'll point you the way," Chu Feng said with a grin.
"We..."
