The King of Urban Mercenaries

Hou Qitian and Little Knife, following Lin Fei’s footsteps, walked towards the outside.

Not far outside was the competition venue. At this moment, those guards had already rushed forward, shouting at Lin Fei, "Stop! How dare you damage royal property; what crime should you be punished for!"

"I just want to participate in the competition, right? You insisted on locking the door. Is that my fault?" Lin Fei asked in return.

Upon hearing Lin Fei’s words, a guard General spoke up, "What competition? You’ve already forfeited; you’re not qualified to compete anymore, so go back quickly, or don’t blame us for being rude!"

"Forfeited?"

Lin Fei laughed, "Haha, how come I don’t know I’ve forfeited? I’ve never said anything about forfeiting, perhaps it’s only you deceiving yourselves!"

Hearing this, the guard General said coldly, "Deceiving ourselves or not, cheating or otherwise, anyway your rights have been stripped away. We hope you leave here immediately, otherwise, don’t blame us for being rude!"

"Then go ahead and be rude." Lin Fei, unconcerned, gestured towards the surrounding guards.

Right then, at the command of the guard General, around twenty or thirty guards charged at Lin Fei together. They were all experts in the Nascent Soul Realm, but still fell short compared to Lin Fei, who took them down swiftly and headed towards the celebratory Beast Fighting Arena.

This arena was huge, a semi-circular field with only one opening for people to walk through. In the center stood the King and Crown Prince, and the venue could hold tens of thousands of people, almost full at the moment. Lin Fei could hear the lively cheers from afar.

After Lin Fei left, Li Kuang and Yu Lun exchanged a glance, unsure of what to do.

"I’m going too! Anyway, this country is so disappointing. In that case, why not fight with all I’ve got!" After speaking, Li Kuang chased after Lin Fei. Lastly, Yu Lun thought about it and followed suit, arriving at the gate of the arena with Lin Fei.

At this moment, an official at the gate was overseeing, and seeing Lin Fei and the others approaching, he shouted, "What are you doing? Are you looking for trouble? Get back quickly! Or else things won’t end well for you!"

Lin Fei couldn’t be bothered with him, snorted coldly; at this point, Little Knife had already dashed forward like lightning, arriving at the official and instantly attacking him.

Although the official’s cultivation was not weak, being in the mid-Nascent Soul Realm like Little Knife, Lin Fei had already taught Little Knife his cultivation technique. Now, Little Knife deployed the third layer of Continuous Demon Technique, tripling his cultivation, and killed the official instantly.

The official’s head rolled downwards, then fell to the ground, lifeless. Around the soldiers were too scared to move or obstruct Lin Fei and his group, directly opening a path for them to the arena.

At this moment, many had noticed the situation here, more people paying attention to it gradually, and soon everyone was watching the five who had broken into the arena.

"Who are you? How dare you barge into the Beast Fighting Arena!" A Judge shouted at Lin Fei.

Lin Fei and his companions smiled, "We are participants here, heard someone said we forfeited? But we didn’t forfeit, instead, royal officials detained us. Don’t know if this is the royal intent or the officials acting on their own?"

Upon hearing this, the arena burst into uproar, unable to believe such a situation. There seemed to be much behind it; they had just heard the referee declare them forfeited, yet now they’re saying they haven’t? And blaming royal people for the mess?

Things just got exciting, no one expected such an outcome. The crowd glanced at the King on the high platform; King Lai Tianhu looked at Lin Fei below, surprised at Lin Fei’s audacity. But before the people of the nation, he couldn’t say much. He could only say, "Really? Why haven’t I heard of this?"

Lin Fei stared at the Crown Prince above. He didn’t believe the King’s words at all. Haven’t heard? That’s hardly true. Could his subordinates dare to do such a thing if he didn’t know? How could it benefit them? It’s all for the Huang Family’s sake, and now you’re claiming unknowingly?

But Lin Fei understood the Crown Prince wanted to save face; couldn’t let others know this was the royal family’s doing. After all, it would chill people’s hearts, so they dare not admit it, which Lin Fei found reasonable.

"So the officials acted recklessly? Acting on their own?" Lin Fei asked.

Upon Lin Fei’s inquiry, the King nodded, "Should be so; where is that official now? Bring them up, I’ll inquire!"

Lin Fei chuckled, "That official paid for his stupidity with his life; hope the king doesn’t worry about it."

"You killed my minister? How could I just listen to your side of the story!" the King suddenly raged, applying pressure on Lin Fei.

However, though his pressure was indeed strong, it wasn’t enough to crush Lin Fei, who seemed to stand where there was no pressure at all, indifferent to the surrounding pressure, still conversing lightly, "But at least one thing is certain, we haven’t forfeited. Don’t know how King plans to handle this matter."

Upon Lin Fei’s words, King Lai Tianhu said coldly, "How do you want to handle it?"

"That depends on the King’s decision. I have no right to decide this matter; after all, I have no authority," Lin Fei said.

Hearing Lin Fei, the King sneered, admitting Lin Fei was sensible enough. However, he still opened his mouth and said, "Since you haven’t forfeited, then compete, how about it?"

Lin Fei nodded. Although the King wanted to downplay things, Lin Fei wouldn’t give him that chance. What does Lin Fei want? Victory, and also a chance to strike at the offspring of princes and nobility.

"Then let’s do it this way, when do we go on stage?" Lin Fei asked.

"Since you’re here, choose one among you to step up, your decision," the referee said coldly.

Lin Fei nodded, it was fair enough. Hence, he looked at the two behind him and asked, "Which of you wants to go first?"

The two shook their heads, Lin Fei shrugged helplessly, saying, "Looks like I’ll have to go first; can you please enlighten me, Prince?"

"Then let’s go!"
