Of course, that outcome was precisely what Qin Feiyang wanted. Only if they fell into disarray would he have the chance to eliminate them one by one!
Wolf King approached Qin Feiyang, asking, "What’s the next step?"
Qin Feiyang, seated atop Wolf King, said coldly, "We will march towards them. I want to make their souls tremble and let them taste utter despair!"
"HEH HEH." Wolf King let out a sinister chuckle and began to advance step by step.
"It’s coming again."
"Wang Gang, Old Ho, what should we do now?"
The middle-aged woman and the others were panic-stricken. Everyone turned to the burly man in black and the elder in green.
To be honest, they weren’t sure what to do either.
Wang Gang said in a deep voice, "Old Ho, why don’t you take some men and deal with them!"
"Why don’t you go?" The elder in green scoffed.
Wang Gang roared, "If my arm weren’t broken, I’d have gone long ago! Would I still be here talking nicely to you?"
The middle-aged woman frowned. "Old Ho, apart from Wang Gang, you’re the strongest here. You can’t just stand by."
"Yes, if we don’t exterminate them soon, we won’t have peace on our journey."
"Old Ho, please help us." The others also chimed in, their eyes pleading.
The elder in green scanned the crowd, his gaze flickering uncertainly.
Finally, gritting his teeth, he asked in a low voice, "Who will go with me?"
Now he had no choice but to go. If he didn’t, he would surely be ostracized by everyone, perhaps even expelled from the group. Once alone in this perilous jungle, even with his considerable strength, he had no confidence he could make it to the Desert of Death alive.
"Me!"
"And me!"
Five burly men stepped forward, looking ready to die.
The elder in green glanced at the five, pointed at three of them, and said, "You three walk in front of me. You two, one on the left, one on the right."
The five men frowned. This arrangement was clearly using them as human shields.
The elder in green said, "If you don’t do as I say, I won’t go. We can all just wait here to die together."
Wang Gang’s eyebrows twitched as he barked, "Do whatever Old Ho says! Hurry up!"
The five exchanged glances, regret clearly visible on their faces. However, it was too late for regrets; they reluctantly stepped forward.
Wolf King’s pupils contracted. "This is not good. Six of them are coming!"
Qin Feiyang replied, "Don’t panic. Although there are six of them, the only real threat to us is that old bastard in green. As long as we assassinate him first, the other five are no cause for concern!"
Undoubtedly, the elder in green was a Martial Ancestor, but Qin Feiyang didn’t know his specific star-level. The five burly men exuded auras similar to his own; they were either Eight-star martial masters or Nine-Star martial masters. With his current strength, he was confident he could easily defeat all five, even in a direct confrontation.
"He has human shields in front and on both sides. How can we assassinate him then?" Wolf King stopped, watching the approaching group of six, his gaze somewhat solemn.
"Then I shall assassinate him from behind!" Qin Feiyang’s lips curled into a cold smile.
"From behind?" Wolf King was taken aback. "How do we get behind them?"
"Simple." As Qin Feiyang spoke, he hopped off Wolf King’s back, walked five meters forward, then turned to look into Wolf King’s eyes and smiled. "Don’t forget, we have the ancient castle. Understand now?"
Wolf King instantly understood. If Qin Feiyang hid inside the ancient castle and waited for the six men to pass, he could then emerge from the castle and naturally be behind them. In other words, the five-meter distance between them was essentially a deadly trap!
"No!" Wolf King shuddered and glared angrily at Qin Feiyang. "You bastard! You’re using Brother Wolf as bait again!"
"There’s no other way. Only if you stand still can you lure the six into this trap." Qin Feiyang grinned, swiftly entered the ancient castle, and listened intently for footsteps.
You bastard, just you wait!
Wolf King grumbled inwardly.
Brother Wolf will make you pay dearly for this!
Then he bared his fangs, viciously staring at the six approaching men.
The group drew closer. The firelight illuminated the surroundings, and when they were ten meters away, the six men finally spotted Wolf King.

"Why is there only one wolf?" The five burly men instinctively stopped, warily scanning the area behind Wolf King and the grass on either side.
One of them asked nervously, "Old Ho, the other wolf must be hiding nearby. What do we do now?"
The elder in green sneered inwardly and snapped, "What nonsense! Obviously, we keep moving closer!" With human shields, he naturally had no fear.
However, the five burly men seemed rooted to the spot, unable to move an inch.
The elder in green peered at Wolf King, a murderous glint in his old eyes. He whispered to the five, "Quickly, don’t let it escape! If the other wolf ambushes us, you all get out of the way. I’ll kill it with a single palm strike!"
The five burly men resumed their advance, slowly closing in on Wolf King.
Nine meters!
Eight meters!
Seven meters!
Six meters!
Five meters!
The ancient castle is right here!
The six men took one more step, walking right into the trap!
"ROAR!" With a howl, Wolf King pounced fiercely towards the group.
"Kill!" the elder in green ordered.
The three burly men in front immediately raised their weapons and hacked at Wolf King! The two men on the flanks, each holding a torch, stared intently at the grass beside them, guarding against the other ’wolf’s’ sneak attack. The elder in green also scanned left and right, his face etched with vigilance.
Wang Gang and the others watched from afar, smiles spreading on their faces.
This time, it should be fine!
But the very next moment, their eyes froze!
Behind the elder in green, a figure had materialized out of thin air! Like a ghost, he had appeared without the slightest warning!
That silhouette looks so familiar...
It’s him!
That disciple of the Martial King Palace!
The crowd was aghast, as if they had seen a ghost.
Wang Gang yelled hurriedly, "Old Ho, watch your back!"
"My back?" Hearing the shout, the elder in green frowned slightly and looked back in confusion.
Instantly, a face entered his vision! He was right in front of him, mere inches away! And on that face, a brilliant smile!
But to the elder in green, that smile was like a demon’s grin, causing every hair on his body to stand on end in an instant! Instinctively, he threw out a palm. But before he could even lift his arm, a sharp pain pierced his heart! He instinctively looked down and saw a snow-white dagger plunged into his chest.
Blood gushed out! Following that, an incomparable wave of excruciating pain, like tidal waves, violently assaulted every nerve in his body.
"AH..." At that moment, he couldn’t help but let out a heart-wrenching scream.
"Old Ho!" The two burly men flanking him turned deathly pale. Without hesitation, they lifted their torches and hurled them at Qin Feiyang!
Qin Feiyang glanced at the two men, pulled out Blue Snow, and kicked the elder in green’s chest, using the force to retreat several meters. The elder in green was sent flying by the kick, landing on the ground with a THUD.
"Old Ho?"
"How are you?"
"I have healing pills here, quick, take them!"
The two burly men hurried over, pulling out healing pills and frantically stuffing them into the elder in green’s mouth. But Blue Snow had already pierced his heart; no amount of healing pills could save him. His head lolled to one side, and he died on the spot!
"AH!!!"
Simultaneously, three more agonizing screams rang out. It turned out that the other three burly men had been killed by Wolf King, their throats bitten out! But Wolf King’s back had also suffered a cut, so deep the bone was visible!
THUD!!!
The three corpses fell to the ground, splattering mud. Wolf King walked over step by step and stood atop the three corpses. Like a monarch, he coldly glared at the two burly men beside the elder in green. He still held a piece of bloody flesh in his mouth! Blood dripped from his sharp fangs, making him look incredibly ferocious!
Qin Feiyang glanced at the wound on Wolf King’s back, his eyes flashed with a terrifying light. He said grimly, "If I were you, I would have chosen to run from the very beginning!"
"Don’t..."
"I was wrong... I shouldn’t have provoked you..."
"I’ll kowtow to you! Please, I beg you, don’t kill me... please..."
The two burly men shuddered and immediately dropped to their knees, begging for mercy.
"Go repent in hell!" Qin Feiyang’s expression was glacial. He lunged forward. Blue Snow flashed with a cold light as it plunged straight into one man’s forehead.
Simultaneously, Wolf King leaped up, his bloody maw wide, and bit the other man’s head clean off with a CRUNCH!
THUD!!
Both men fell, dead on the spot.
Wolf King lifted his head, looked towards Wang Gang and the others in the distance, and spat out the bloody head.
Seeing this gruesome scene, Wang Gang and the others trembled from head to toe, a bone-deep chill enveloping them! Several men even collapsed on the spot, paralyzed by fear, a foul stench wafting from their soaked trousers.
Qin Feiyang searched the elder in green’s body for a moment, then walked over to Wolf King and shook his head. "Ling Yunfei’s Qiankun Bag isn’t on him."
Wolf King sneered, "Then it must be on that big fellow!"
Qin Feiyang picked up a torch and smiled. "Let’s go. Time to meet them head-on."
TAP. TAP. TAP. The youth and the wolf advanced unhurriedly.
"Wang Gang, what do we do now?"
"Quick, think of something!"
Seeing this, the remaining dozen or so people all turned to Wang Gang, their hearts burning with anxiety! Even Old Ho, a Martial Ancestor, was easily dispatched by that pair. They wouldn’t stand a chance.
Right now, Wang Gang was their only pillar of support. But this pillar of support was also panic-stricken! If it were a head-on fight, he wouldn’t be afraid in the slightest. But it was clear that the youth and the wolf had no intention of fighting him head-on.
A youth and a wolf... Could it be them?
Wang Gang suddenly thought of a name known to everyone in Yan Province: Qin Feiyang!
But then he thought again, that couldn’t be right. Qin Feiyang’s wanted poster was still up on the city gate, and the portrait looked nothing like the person before them.
WHOOSH!
Whether it was Qin Feiyang or not, of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, fleeing was the best! He turned without hesitation and fled frantically.
His flight left the middle-aged woman and the others leaderless and utterly helpless.
"What are you all standing there stunned for? Run!" the middle-aged woman roared anxiously.
Instantly, the dozen or so people turned and followed the burly man in black, fleeing for their lives!
