"Stop!"
"Let our boss go!"
"Let go quickly!"
Seeing this, a group of men in black vests holding guns all roared at Ye Feng, raising their assault rifles and aiming at him.
However, Ye Feng ignored them. Xiao Xiao also just glanced around briefly, then focused her gaze on the fan-wielding, one-eyed, crooked-nosed man whose neck Ye Feng was gripping.
Clearly, neither Ye Feng nor Xiao Xiao took the threats from the group of armed men in vests to heart.
Seeing this, the group of men in black vests couldn't help but look troubled, exchanging nervous glances with each other...
The fan-wielding, one-eyed, crooked-nosed man's face turned purple from Ye Feng's grip. He desperately tried to pry Ye Feng's fingers open with his hands, but no matter how hard he tried, it was no use.
Ye Feng's left hand was like a steel clamp, firmly gripping the man's throat.
"Hoo!"
Just as the fan-wielding, one-eyed, crooked-nosed man thought he was about to be choked to death by Ye Feng, Ye Feng suddenly let go. He immediately started to breathe heavily.
"Who put out a bounty on us?"
Ye Feng's voice was somewhat icy.
As Ye Feng spoke, Xiao Xiao looked at the fan-wielding, one-eyed, crooked-nosed man with great seriousness. She also really wanted to know why she and Ye Feng were being targeted with a bounty.
"Hoo hoo! Hoo~!"
The fan-wielding, one-eyed, crooked-nosed man didn't answer immediately. He clutched his neck, still panting heavily.
"It's... it's him!"
After a good while, the fan-wielding, one-eyed, crooked-nosed man extended his finger and tremblingly pointed behind Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao.
"Hmm?"
Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao both quickly turned their heads. In that instant, a flash of light appeared on the fan-wielding, one-eyed, crooked-nosed man's hand, and two Desert Eagles suddenly appeared.
"Wh... what?"
The fan-wielding, one-eyed, crooked-nosed man looked shocked because before he could pull the trigger, Ye Feng had already reached out and grabbed the finger he was about to use to pull the trigger.
"Crack~Crack~"
"Ah~Ah!~"
Ye Feng moved his hands slightly, instantly shattering the fan-wielding, one-eyed, crooked-nosed man's finger into a comminuted fracture.
"Ugh~Ah~ Go!"
"Shoot them, shoot them! Otherwise, you'll all die!"
The fan-wielding, one-eyed, crooked-nosed man gritted his teeth and roared in a low voice.
"Bang bang bang!~!"
After a moment of hesitation, the fan-wielding, one-eyed, crooked-nosed man's subordinates still opened fire on Ye Feng.
"Bang bang bang!~"
"Ah~ Crack~ Bang! Puchi~"
"Bang bang!~"
...
After a barrage of dense gunfire, bone-breaking sounds, screams, and collisions, the ground was covered with the corpses of the armed men in black vests.
Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao's figures had long since vanished from their original positions. A man whose body was covered in blood and whose temples were gray had an expression of disbelief on his face.
After all, the combat power Ye Feng had displayed was truly terrifying...
Ye Feng had punched the engine of the infantry fighting vehicle that the fan-wielding, one-eyed, crooked-nosed man's group was traveling in, causing it to explode. He had also dismantled the thick, sturdy protective steel plates of the vehicle.
The barrel of the Gatling gun on the roof of the infantry fighting vehicle had been bent by Ye Feng's bare hands...
...
On the other side,
In the Hummer,
Ye Feng was somewhat frustrated because after a "friendly" conversation with the fan-wielding, one-eyed, crooked-nosed man and his men, he had not obtained the information he wanted.
The fan-wielding, one-eyed, crooked-nosed man and his subordinates were known as the Black Shirt Gang in the vicinity, specializing in murder and robbery.
However, they also didn't know who had placed a bounty on Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao. They only knew that a bounty order had been issued to them by a creature called the Butcher with a two-headed monster...
However, the man with gray temples did provide Ye Feng with a good piece of information.
His name was Old Li, and he had miraculously survived the Gatling gun fire. According to him, the bounty order for Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao came from the Seven Great Powers.
Only the Seven Great Powers could offer such a high price, and there were people who believed it...
As for which of the great powers it was, Old Li was unclear. He was also unclear why Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao were being targeted, and why they only wanted them alive...
"This is truly troublesome... Who would place such a large bounty on us... and only want them alive?"
Ye Feng, in the passenger seat, mused with some annoyance as he looked at the bounty order in his hand.
"Big Brother, it shouldn't be Mech City where Sister Yun Yao is... But we haven't had much contact with the other six Great Powers before the ancient ruins..."
"This bounty order seems to have been issued quite a while ago..."
Xiao Xiao said as she drove, analyzing the situation.
"Who is holding a grudge against us... I don't have that many enemies either..."
Ye Feng muttered, joining the conversation.
"Uh... Big Brother, it seems we have quite a lot of enemies..."
Hearing this, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but retort.
"Uh..."
Xiao Xiao's words left Ye Feng stunned, and he didn't know how to respond for a moment.
"Could it be that mysterious woman named Yue Fei Xue?"
Looking at the bounty order in his hand, Ye Feng couldn't help but think of the beautiful woman wearing a white plush cloak, a vibrant green hairpin on her head, and her black hair elegantly tied up.
She had placed a bounty on him in the desert dunes, seemingly to pressure him and make him become stronger quickly...
"Which great power does she belong to?"
"It shouldn't be. If it were Yue Fei Xue, I could understand her placing a bounty on me. But why would she also put a bounty on Xiao Xiao?"
Ye Feng pondered for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out, and he felt a bit troubled.
...
At the same time,
In the area where the ancient ruins used to be, scattered animal bones were lying around, mostly fish bones.
As the swampy mud in the middle of the numerous animal skeletons churned, a figure slowly emerged, it was Tu Po.
Tu Po was no longer the incomplete half-body Ye Feng had seen before. His other half had regrown, including his eyes, nose, and arms.
However, Tu Po was not as plump as Ye Feng had seen him before; he was gaunt and emaciated.
His face was also devoid of any smile, overcast with dark clouds, as if it were about to thunder and lightning at any moment...
"Ye Feng, I will tear you to shreds!"
...
The next day,
Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao continued to advance in the direction indicated by the arcane pointer. Xiao Xiao was still driving, while Ye Feng, carrying a large stone on his shoulder, followed closely behind.
The strange bounty order from yesterday didn't cause much trouble for Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao. After all, the Fiery Remnant World was so vast, and communication was basically done by shouting. Finding someone without a fixed address was extremely difficult...
After thinking for a while with no results, Ye Feng decided to stop worrying about it!
"Whoosh! Hoo!~"
"Bang! Hoo!~"
While carrying the heavy stone and running, Ye Feng performed the mysterious movements he had gained after reaching the Golden Period.
"Bang~ Crash~"
Suddenly, Ye Feng braced the stone on his shoulder with his palm.
The part of the stone that touched Ye Feng's palm instantly turned to dust. His hand sank into it, and the stone then shattered and disintegrated.
"What the heck... True energy is starting to get a little uncontrollable again... I should rest for a bit!"
"It's just time for lunch!"
Ye Feng quickly made a decision.
After all, although practicing those mysterious movements caused his true energy to change in a certain way, after a long time, the true energy would become uncontrollable and very dangerous...
The last time his true energy went out of control, it accidentally hit Ye Feng's shoulder, and he was in pain for nearly half a month...
