Chapter 1 The Beginning

Iron Sword Mad Lion died just like that.

The result was beyond everyone’s expectations.

From the moment Shi Feng drew his sword and stabbed Iron Sword Mad Lion in the heart, to the moment Iron Sword Mad Lion died, everyone saw Shi Feng’s every move clearly. But one thing puzzled them: Shi Feng’s sword wasn’t fast. It seemed to them that even they could have dodged it. How could an expert like Iron Sword Mad Lion fail to evade?

He didn't even have the strength to fight back.

Could it be that Iron Sword Mad Lion was all bluster, just a paper tiger using borrowed authority?

Everyone immediately rejected this foolish idea.

Iron Sword Mad Lion’s equipment wasn’t fake, and his level 5 wasn’t fake either. He was definitely a genuine expert. But for an expert wearing so much bronze equipment, whose defense and HP far exceeded ordinary players, to be killed in just a few moves was unbelievable.

Even if ordinary players attacked Iron Sword Mad Lion frantically, it would take a while to kill him. But Shi Feng had resolved it in two moves.

Just how terrifying an attack power would that require?

Thinking of this, everyone was stunned.

The smiling Shi Feng before them wasn't some naive whale, but a devil in a mask, smiling at them. And they had been completely unaware of it. A chill suddenly ran through their bodies, making them shiver and dare not look at the smiling Shi Feng again.

"You...you're despicable!" Ximen Piaoxue retreated a few steps, trembling as he pointed at Shi Feng. He was incredibly shocked. Compared to outsiders, he knew his elder brother's strength better than anyone. He had a deep understanding and fear of Shi Feng’s power. Now that Shi Feng had his eye on him, he was even more terrified. But then he thought, this was a safe zone, so what did he have to fear? He immediately laughed loudly, "You're finished. You dared to kill someone in a safe zone. No one can protect you. Just wait to be executed on the spot by the guards and then thrown in jail."

Ximen Piaoxue's words made everyone realize something. They had been completely stunned by Shi Feng and had forgotten that this was a safe zone, guarded by powerful guards. Even if Shi Feng was strong, could he be stronger than the guards? He would definitely be caught by the guards and suffer a miserable fate.

"What a pity, but it's so brave to kill someone in a safe zone. Even if you're killed by the guards and thrown in jail, it's worth it. At least you had your moment of glory. You'll still be a hero when you come out tomorrow."

"So handsome! Big brother expert, this little sister can warm your bed, please add me as a friend! Please carry me to level up! I promise to be obedient!"

Among the players present, many began to admire Shi Feng’s courage. Not only did he dare to oppose the Martial Union, but he even dared to provoke the laws of Red Leaf Town. He was simply their idol. Many pretty female players began to inquire about Shi Feng’s information, even proactively sending friend requests, wanting to get to know him.

At this moment, a squad of heavily armored guards walked over.

Ximen Piaoxue pointed at Shi Feng and laughed, "Aren't you very powerful? Let's see what you'll do this time. You'll not only lose a level, but you'll also be locked up for 24 hours. Even if you're an expert, being locked up for 24 hours will reduce you to a second-rate player. Then let's see how our Martial Union will deal with you. No one in heaven or earth can save you."

Not far away, Ci Xin was grief-stricken and full of regret.

Shi Feng’s series of actions just now seemed slow, giving the feeling that they were as natural as breathing air. It was impossible to find any sense of incongruity, making Ci Xin admire Shi Feng even more.

Shi Feng’s previous series of actions was exactly the assassination technique he was pursuing.

Ordinary people naturally wouldn't understand what this represented, but as someone who had played many virtual games and participated in fighting competitions in reality, he knew deeply how powerful Shi Feng was.

If he had met Shi Feng in the past, he would have thought that Shi Feng was just so-so.

However, he had the honor of communicating with a martial arts master, who had said something like this.

Combat itself pursues the simplest killing techniques, and when these techniques reach perfection, they make people feel no sense of incongruity, but rather a very natural feeling.

All experts who reach this level are extremely dangerous, because they can stand in front of you smiling, and even if they draw a sword across your neck, you clearly see it, but you think it's a joke. You don't even feel the danger coming, and your body doesn't react at all, until you die without even knowing it...

This isn't some profound technique, it just requires countless battles and training to learn and turn into an instinct, but ordinary people simply can't do this cruel training.

He finally had a chance to have Shi Feng owe him a favor, but he didn't expect Shi Feng to be so decisive, killing Iron Sword Mad Lion without saying a word. How could he show off then? How could he have a chance to ask for advice?

Now that the guards had arrived, he had no way to help at all. He hated Iron Sword Mad Lion for making him lose a good opportunity to ask for advice.

The captain of the guards, wearing silver-gray heavy armor, walked up to Shi Feng. The other guards surrounded the area, making the atmosphere on the street extremely oppressive.

"Guard uncle, he's the one who killed my elder brother. You must arrest him." Ximen Piaoxue walked up to the captain of the guards, pointed at Shi Feng with a sneer, and reported him.

The captain of the guards ignored Ximen Piaoxue and turned his deep gaze to Shi Feng. He said with a smile, "Respected Demon Hunter, this is Red Leaf Town. According to the laws of Red Leaf Town, you must pay the price for killing someone here, or we'll have to ask you to go to the confinement room."

Hearing what the aloof captain of the guards said, everyone was dumbfounded. Ximen Piaoxue opened his mouth so wide that he could fit three eggs in it.

What was going on?

Instead of being killed on the spot, he would only be confined if he didn't pay the price. Was this person the town chief's son?

No, the town chief was already dead.

No one understood why the guards were so polite today. Usually, they were all cold-faced killers, let alone smiling.

"I killed him because he threatened me. But I'm not an unreasonable person. What price do I have to pay? You tell me." Shi Feng nodded and turned to look at Ximen Piaoxue with a faint smile.

He dared to kill Iron Sword Mad Lion for a reason. People had only entered God's Domain recently and weren't very clear about the rules, but he had lived in God's Domain for ten years and knew exactly what to do and to what extent.

He was now a noble, with a status far beyond that of ordinary people. If he weren't a noble, maybe he would have turned around and left, ignoring Iron Sword Mad Lion. At worst, they could have a thrilling battle in the wild, and who would win or lose would be another matter.

But he was now a noble. Even if he killed an ordinary player, the guards wouldn't say anything. They would just want him to pay money, and how much he paid would depend entirely on his status and position. But with his financial resources, he could accept it.

"2 silver coins," the captain of the guards said straightforwardly.

"Oh, I understand. Here are 20 silver coins. Please accept them." Shi Feng didn't expect it to be so cheap, so he took out twenty silver coins and gave them to the captain of the guards.

"Respected Demon Hunter, what are you doing?" the captain of the guards asked, looking at the twenty silver coins in his hand.

"It's nothing. These people threatened me before. I still want to kill a few more. Just consider it advance payment."

"..." The captain of the guards was also stunned.

After Shi Feng finished speaking, he drew the Abyssal Blade and used Wind Lightning Flash, a level 5 skill. Three lightning bolts instantly pierced through the bodies of Ximen Piaoxue and the others, killing everyone and dropping a lot of equipment. Ximen Piaoxue didn't even realize what was happening until he died.

At the same time, Shi Feng’s green player marker turned into a bewitching bright red, exuding an eerie aura.

Everyone was stunned.

Who exactly was this Shi Feng? He was too awesome!

The people of the Martial Union were probably dumbfounded now. Shi Feng casually spent twenty silver coins, buying their lives. He was simply rich and willful!

Even more unbelievable was that the captain of the guards didn't say anything. He just counted the number of dead people, found that there were 4 silver coins left over, returned the extra silver coins to Shi Feng, and then turned around and left...
