"Second Brother?"
"Third Brother?"
Qin Feiyang was stunned.
So the First Prince and these two were actual brothers?
Seeing Qin Feiyang’s reaction, Lo Qingzhu shook her head in helplessness.
He’s been in Yan City for so long, yet he still doesn’t know the identities of Wei Feng and the other one. Such slow perception.
She explained in a low voice, "Wei Feng is Yan Province’s Second Prince. The other one, named Wei Tai, is the Third Prince."
Qin Feiyang nodded and looked up at Cheng Ming. Just then, Cheng Ming also looked at him.
Their eyes met, invisible yet intense sparks igniting between them.
Cheng Ming grinned, "Watching those around you die. How does it feel?"
"You’ll die a much worse death," Qin Feiyang shrugged.
"Really?" Cheng Ming jeered.
"We’ll see," Qin Feiyang said, smiling faintly.
"He’s just pretending to be calm."
"I wonder how long you can keep up the act."
"Today, in our Pan County, the name Qin Feiyang will become a joke!"
"When the time comes, we’ll make you beg on your knees like a dog!"
"And that beast there—I’ve never tasted wolf meat. Today’s a good chance to try."
The other thirteen people from Pan County chimed in, their voices dripping with mockery and contempt.
"Damn it! Which bastard came up with this competition format?" "Fuck, this is so damn frustrating!" the Wolf King cursed repeatedly.
King Pan’s expression turned grim instantly. The three white-haired elders also looked visibly displeased.
This beast is definitely cursing us on purpose,
they thought. After all, it was obvious that the four of them had devised the competition format.

Jiang Zhengyi glanced at the four of them. Battle Intent pulsed from his fingertips as he drew a bamboo slip. A glint flashed in his eyes when he saw the name written on it.
"I don’t even need to look. It’s definitely not me again," the Wolf King said, his interest waning.
Cheng Ming sneered, "No matter who it is, whoever dares to enter the ring will face the same result: Death!"
Jiang Zhengyi declared, "The next one to enter the ring is... the Wolf King!"
"Me?" The Wolf King froze, stunned.
Am I hearing things?
he wondered.
Jiang Zhengyi said, "Haven’t you been clamoring to go up? Hurry up! If you lose, and they don’t skin you alive, I will!"
"HAHAHA..." The Wolf King rose on its hind legs, roaring with laughter at the sky, its arrogance and flamboyance making it seem utterly indomitable!
Cheng Ming smiled grimly. "Beast, I must say, this is truly unfortunate for you."
"Impudent brat! Now, Daddy’s going to teach you how to behave!" the Wolf King declared, striding swaggeringly towards Cheng Ming.
Cheng Ming clenched his fists, a fierce, cold light flaring in his eyes.
「At the same time.」
The gold-armored, burly man’s expression also darkened, for he was Cheng Ming’s father.
The gold-armored, burly man said gravely, "Don’t kill it in one blow. Torture it for a while."
"Of course," Cheng Ming replied with a cold smile.
"Enough talk! Bring it on!" The Wolf King stood on its hind legs, beckoning to Cheng Ming with a claw. Its valiant and spirited posture, however, only made the people from Pan County roar with laughter.
Is it here for comedic relief? Can such a clown actually be reliable?
"Cheng Ming, slaughter it quickly!"
"Tonight, we’ll drink wolf’s blood and eat wolf’s meat!" the thirteen young men laughed loudly.
"Alright, just you wait!" Cheng Ming responded confidently, then shot forward like an arrow! His aura flared to its peak! True Qi blazed dazzlingly in his palm!
As he neared, he thrust his palm at the Wolf King, holding nothing back.
"Whoa, he’s strong! I’m outta here!" the Wolf King yelped in feigned panic, instantly scrambling away. It ran on its hind legs, looking like a sneaking thief. Its comical antics made the crowd around the platform roar with laughter.
Jiang Zhengyi, however, had a face as black as thunder—even darker than Jia Hei’s notoriously dark face.
What in the world is this rascal up to?
"Beast! Weren’t you so arrogant? Why are you running now?" Cheng Ming sneered dismissively, turning to pursue it.
"You’re so damn strong, how could I *not* run?" the Wolf King retorted without looking back.
"Are you planning to just keep running like this?" Cheng Ming jeered. "Look at how many eyes are watching you. Don’t you feel ashamed?"
"I’m just setting the pace, bro! Catch me if you can!" the Wolf King chuckled slyly.
"Taking pride in shamelessness. What an utter piece of thick-skinned trash." Cheng Ming shook his head, his face filled with disdain.
"Something’s wrong!"
"Cheng Ming, be careful!"
"Its speed—it’s faster than yours!" The thirteen young men’s expressions suddenly changed as they shouted a warning.
"Huh?" Everyone present, including Cheng Ming, was taken aback. Observing closely, they realized it was true. Although the beast appeared to be fleeing in disarray, there wasn’t a hint of panic in its eyes. It seemed to be toying with Cheng Ming!
How is this possible?
Cheng Ming realized, a sense of disbelief flooding him. He had activated an auxiliary Martial Arts Technique, tripling his normal speed!
And yet I still can’t catch that beast? Could its power actually be greater than mine?
"Warm-up’s over! Let’s fight!" Just as everyone was reeling in shock, the Wolf King suddenly let out a wolfish howl, turned, and charged towards Cheng Ming.
"Perfect timing!" Cheng Ming’s eyes blazed with murderous intent. "Even if you’re stronger than me, I have a perfect Martial Arts Technique, and that’s enough to slaughter you!" He thrust out his palm with full force. A violent gust of wind instantly erupted, sweeping in all directions!
"Now, it’s time for Brother Wolf to show his power!" the Wolf King muttered. An astonishingly ferocious aura erupted from its body. Its front paws hit the ground, and it launched itself upward with a powerful leap. Seven Kill Steps!
BAM! Its paw slammed down towards Cheng Ming’s wrist. Cheng Ming’s arm shuddered; the flesh around the point of impact instantly split open! Shock flooded his face.
This force... It’s not inferior to mine in the slightest! And this strike... it’s not simple. It contains a terrifying killing intent!
This killing intent sent a chill down his spine, and a nameless panic surged within him.
In the next instant, the Wolf King stomped towards the top of his head! CRACK! Cheng Ming’s skull shattered on the spot, blood arcing through the air!
How is this possible?
Cheng Ming trembled, body and soul.
This speed... this power... This beast... it’s actually this strong!
BOOM! CRACK! The Wolf King landed, and the ground beneath its paws shattered in a wide, spiderweb-like pattern.
Seeing this, everyone from Pan County was utterly astounded. But it wasn’t over yet!
Just as the Wolf King landed, its supple tail, like a sharp spike, shot into Cheng Ming’s back with lightning speed, shattering his heart in a single blow!
"AHHH!" Cheng Ming shrieked on the spot, his cry filled with pain, despair, and utter unwillingness to accept his fate!
"A great kill!" the Third Prince roared. Though he hadn’t killed Cheng Ming himself, vengeance for the Second Prince was finally achieved.
"Second Brother, you can rest in peace now," the First Prince murmured.
The surrounding crowd was dumbfounded. No one had expected the Wolf King to be so absurdly powerful. In both speed and strength, it was not the least bit inferior to Cheng Ming.
"Brother Wolf has arrived! Who dares to contend? Next!" The Wolf King withdrew its tail, standing majestically in the center of the high platform. Like a peerless fierce beast, it stared down the remaining thirteen individuals, its large pupils glinting with terrifying, savage light.
THUD! Cheng Ming collapsed to the ground, his life extinguished.
"Cheng Ming!" the gold-armored, burly man roared, rushing forward anxiously.
"You little beast! I’ll slaughter you!" Upon seeing that face, eyes wide with an eternal grievance, the gold-armored man’s eyes instantly turned bloodshot. With a wave of his hand, a surge of Battle Intent shot towards the Wolf King.
The Wolf King paid it no mind, knowing someone would intervene.
Sure enough! The instant the gold-armored man attacked, Jiang Zhengyi shot up, landing behind the Wolf King in the blink of an eye. With a flick of his wide sleeve, the gold-armored man’s Battle Intent was instantly annihilated.
Then, he stepped forward and, showing no mercy, kicked the gold-armored man squarely in the face. "ARGH!" With an agonized howl, the gold-armored man was sent flying. His entire face was a mangled, bloody mess! Like a meteorite, he crashed into a distant mountain range.
King Pan was instantly enraged.
Qin Feiyang stepped forward, landing beside the Wolf King. He sneered, "King Pan, is this how your Pan County conducts itself? Truly laughable!"
King Pan roared, "Do you have any right to speak here?"
"So what?" Qin Feiyang retorted, his face etched with disgust as he looked at King Pan. "When Cheng Ming killed the Second Prince, we didn’t say a damn thing. Now that the Wolf King has slaughtered Cheng Ming, that dog from your royal household actually dares to attack it. And you think you’re justified? In my eyes, it’s not just Cheng Ming and his son who are trash. You, the Commandery Prince, are the worst trash of all! It’s disgusting!"
"You little bastard, you’re courting death!" King Pan stood up, filled with murderous intent.
"You dare touch him?!" Jiang Zhengyi whipped his head around to face King Pan, his voice icy. "If you harm a single hair on his head, *I* will slaughter everyone in your Pan County, down to the last soul!" A tangible killing aura emanated from his entire being.
At this moment, only one word could describe him: domineering.
King Pan glared intently at the two men and the wolf on the platform.
The First Prince stepped forward, his voice frigid. "*I* have tolerated your lot for a long time. If you continue this outrageous behavior, then *I*, on behalf of the Yan Province’s royal family, officially declare war on Pan County!"
The crowd immediately erupted into an uproar. King Pan’s pupils constricted. The other three magnates could no longer remain composed.
The white-haired elder spoke, "King Pan, everyone in Yan Province knows the principle of accepting a loss when a bet is made. As the organizer of this friendly competition, your actions are indeed unbecoming. You and the Great Commander are too biased. *I* will preside over the rest of the matches."
After speaking, he rose and looked towards the Wolf King, Qin Feiyang, and Jiang Zhengyi. Cupping his fists, he said, "The earlier incident was Pan County’s fault. We hope you can forgive us."
Then, he turned to the First Prince and offered an apologetic smile.
"HMPH!" The First Prince snorted coldly and retreated beside the Third Prince, his gaze exceptionally grim.
"The enmity for my son’s murder is irreconcilable! Beast, die!" But just then, with a furious roar, the gold-armored, burly man, radiating an overwhelming aura, shot towards the high platform.
"So, you won’t be satisfied until you’re dead!" Jiang Zhengyi turned his head, his eyes flashing with an astonishingly cold light as they opened and closed.
However, someone else moved before him, flying towards the gold-armored man. It was King Pan!
He flew over and, in front of everyone, slapped the gold-armored man across the face, roaring, "Haven’t you made enough of a disgrace of yourself yet?"
The gold-armored man was stunned by the slap. "Your Majesty..." he began anxiously.
"Take your son’s corpse and get lost, now!" King Pan bellowed.
What an idiot! Can’t he see Jiang Zhengyi is already enraged? If this continues, King Pan City will surely see a bloodbath today!
His face filled with resentment and unwillingness, the gold-armored man landed on the platform, picked up Cheng Ming’s body, then turned and flew away.
"Qin Feiyang... Wolf King..." he seethed, his eyes glinting with unparalleled madness. "I swear, I will make sure you die without a burial place!"
