The King of Urban Mercenaries

Crack!

With a crisp sound, Prince Orion completely lost his life. However, at the last moment, he abandoned his body, and his nascent soul fled swiftly into the distance.

Without Lin Fei needing to speak, the Black Dragon acted, lightning-fast, catching up to the nascent soul and clamping it in its mouth, flying towards Lin Fei.

Lin Fei hurriedly grabbed Jiang Ming, and while Jiang Ming was still confused, Lin Fei pulled him away to escape into the distance, not daring to waste a single moment.

Jiang Ming did not understand what was happening. He asked, "What’s going on? What happened, Brother Lin?!"

"There’s no time to explain now, let’s run!" Lin Fei replied, speaking quickly, and urged Little Black to maximize its speed to escape from the area.

Just after Lin Fei left, a powerful force suddenly appeared at the place where Prince Orion was killed. After seeing Prince Orion’s corpse, it pursued in the direction of Lin Fei, making him feel an intense chill at his back. He commanded, "Little Black, shrink!"

Little Black immediately followed Lin Fei’s orders, shrinking and coiling around Lin Fei. Lin Fei pulled Jiang Ming, then used the Godspeed Talisman.

Jiang Ming simultaneously employed his own techniques, and together with Lin Fei, they quickly fled, disappearing from that space in the blink of an eye, transforming into a flowing light and shooting off to a more distant place. Even if they wanted to pursue, unless they were powerful, they wouldn’t be able to detect Lin Fei. And even if they could find him, they would only see a streak of flowing light passing by.

However, the demon beasts soon sensed another powerful aura, so intense that they didn’t dare to raise their heads to look, feeling only that this force was like a storm cloud bearing down on them. After it passed overhead, it chased rapidly toward that flowing light far away.

Lin Fei was no longer just a Golden Core Realm expert; he was now at the Nascent Soul Realm. Due to the unique power of the Demon Refinement Technique, his body’s speed was reaching its limit, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

But the force behind was equally swift, catching up to Lin Fei in the blink of an eye. But by then, Lin Fei was already ahead.

Then a voice came from behind, a telepathic message, for sound alone could not surpass Lin Fei’s speed. After all, light travels much faster than sound.

Although Lin Fei hadn’t reached the speed of light, he was close enough, which meant he couldn’t hear the voice. Spiritual telepathy was different, it was like having a rod attached to you, reaching wherever you moved, without much change.

"Friend ahead, why not stop and have a talk?"

At the sound of this voice, Lin Fei frowned and replied, "I’m afraid not, I have important matters to attend to, so I hope this lord doesn’t pursue me."

At this, the voice laughed, "You killed my son, do you think you can escape so easily?"

Lin Fei was surprised, "You are the King of Orion?"

"Of course, I hope you can stop so we can clear this up. If it’s unrelated to you, I won’t act against you," the voice said, full of righteousness.

But Lin Fei did not trust the King’s words. He chuckled, "It’s better if I don’t stay. I’ll explain to Your Majesty another day. It’s unclear now, and I truly have important matters to handle. I hope Your Majesty will let me go, how about it?"

"What nonsense!" the voice continued after a brief pause, "My young friend, you should stop; I won’t hold you responsible for this, and I mean what I say. Do you still not believe me?"

"It’s not that I don’t believe Your Majesty, but do you know that your fourth son was a scoundrel? Yet, Your Majesty did not discipline him. Now that he’s dead, what’s the point?" Lin Fei said.

His words were straightforward; since he was scum, his death doesn’t matter, right? After all, the result will be the same, the man’s dead.

Moreover, Lin Fei didn’t believe at all in what the King said about not holding him responsible.

If it were up to Lin Fei, if someone killed his child, he would never say something like no revenge. He’s a normal person; if someone killed his child, no matter right or wrong, there’d always be some heartache. In any case, he’d at least punish the culprit a little, so even if Lin Fei wouldn’t kill them, he’d definitely punish them.

But this King wasn’t like that. He should have known what the Fourth Prince was up to, or else he wouldn’t have entrusted him with the Divine Stone. Those Communication Stones could communicate with the other end; the Fourth Prince called out to the King when he was about to die, and the King arrived immediately. If it weren’t for Lin Fei’s intervention, the Fourth Prince might not have been killed.

"Since you won’t stop, I don’t want to watch you leave. How about this, return my son’s nascent soul to me, and I won’t chase you. At least let my son have a chance at survival," the King said.

Lin Fei replied, "I’m sorry, but since he’s dead, he’s dead. I really don’t know where his nascent soul fled. If Your Majesty wants your child to be reborn, I suggest you quickly find the Fourth Prince’s nascent soul; otherwise, if it’s devoured by some demon beast, that wouldn’t be good.

"Stop joking with me, I can sense my son’s aura on you, the nascent soul must also be on you, you’re just unwilling to bring it out." The King was not so easily deceived, so he spoke bluntly.

"I don’t care, anyway, I really haven’t seen your son’s nascent soul," Lin Fei said.

"Then do you dare to stop and let me examine you thoroughly?" the King asked.

Lin Fei shook his head, "That’s impossible. By then, you would likely kill me immediately; otherwise, you wouldn’t have said so."

"Are you saying you don’t trust the words of a King?" the man behind seemed to hate being distrusted, so after Lin Fei finished speaking, he immediately got angry and attacked Lin Fei.

Lin Fei, quick as ever, dodged instantly to avoid the attack, although his speed slowed down significantly.

After that, the King behind showed a cold smile, as if he had thought of some way to make Lin Fei stop.
