Chapter 167: No Survivors Left

The first-day auction ended quickly. Ye Feng went to the settlement area to collect the gloves he had bid on and the spirit crystals he earned from selling the cell repair fluid. After deducting seven top-grade spirit crystals and two middle-grade spirit crystals, Ye Feng still received five top-grade spirit crystals from this auction. All he had paid for was eight bottles of cell repair fluid at a price equivalent to 241,000 first-tier domain values—which, converted to second-tier domain values, was only 240 points. It was a huge profit!

Ye Feng had considered putting on a random human mask, changing clothes, and escaping from their pursuit. But he knew well that some people wouldn’t give up easily. Even if he avoided conflicts today, if he reverted to his original appearance someday and was discovered, trouble would still follow. He couldn’t live in hiding under a mask forever. He had learned a once-and-for-all method to nip all potential threats in the bud. After all, dead people don’t jump out of coffins to bother the living—only zombies can!

After all the post-auction procedures were completed, almost everyone left the auction hall. It took Ye Feng nearly twenty minutes to handle all the formalities after the auction ended.

Ye Feng also knew that Pei Hong must have found a safe place to hide. As long as no one knew he was with Pei Hong, he would likely be fine.

Wearing the detector, Ye Feng strode out of the auction hall. The moment he stepped outside, two people indeed moved in his direction—one at the Outward Journey stage and the other at the Divided Attention stage. Ye Feng didn’t even need to switch to individual detection to know who they were.

“This kid has finally shown up!” The young man who had competed with Ye Feng for the gloves sneered softly upon seeing him leave the auction hall.

“Let’s go,” the butler nodded, and the two of them slowly made their way toward Ye Feng.

Ye Feng wasn’t in a hurry. He knew that within a certain range of the auction hall, he was still under the protection of the Ciel Auction Hall. The two would follow him until he left that protected area before taking action.

Suddenly, Ye Feng turned into an alley. The two who had been following him quickly accelerated and rushed toward him.

“Want to catch me? That’s not so easy!” Ye Feng smirked coldly, pulling out his photon cannon and aiming it in the direction the two were coming from, targeting the stronger one at the Diversion Stage. The moment the two appeared before Ye Feng, he pulled the trigger. The butler at the Diversion Stage didn’t even have time to show off his strength before being swallowed by a beam of white light and disappearing instantly. Before the others present could react, another beam of white light flashed—this time, the young man didn’t even get a chance to say anything before being consumed by the light. Ye Feng stored the photon cannon in his virtual realm and was about to leave when he heard violent coughing. He turned to look—surprisingly, the young man hadn’t been vaporized by the photon cannon. Ye Feng then noticed that the man was wearing armor; it must have absorbed most of the damage from the attack. But his condition was still critical—blood gushed from his mouth, and he tried several times to get up from the ground, failing each time. He stared at Ye Feng with fear in his eyes. Ye Feng asked curiously, “Hey, that armor of yours is a top-grade spiritual artifact, right? I remember that even mid-grade spiritual artifacts would shatter under such attacks. Because of that, I lost quite a few storage rings that should have been mine…” As Ye Feng stepped closer, the young man trembled. “You… you can’t kill me… If you kill me… my wife won’t let you live…” “Your wife?” Ye Feng shook his head and laughed. “Why not make up another story?” “My wife is a powerhouse at the Tribulation Stage…” the young man insisted. “Oh, would a female powerhouse at the Tribulation Stage be interested in a nobody like you?” Ye Feng put on those top-grade spiritual artifact gloves. In this situation, there was no need to use the photon cannon anymore. “I’m not lying!” the young man still shook his head. “What does that have to do with me?” Ye Feng showed a cruel smile. “I just need to kill you, strip off your armor, take the storage rings from your fingers, and then leave this planet freely. I don’t care who your wife is…” With a cold expression, Ye Feng punched the young man’s fairly handsome face.

Although that top-grade armor had formidable defensive capabilities, after being struck once by a photon cannon firing with the power of a warrior at the fusion stage, its defense was significantly weakened. Coupled with the fact that the glove in Ye Feng’s hand was originally a top-grade spiritual artifact, it didn’t suffer much damage. After three heavy punches, the armor’s defenses finally shattered completely. The fourth punch struck the young man’s handsome face with force—his head shattered like a watermelon falling from great height, splattering into pieces with brain matter spraying out.

Ye Feng removed the ring from his finger, stripped off the armor, and put it in his storage cabinet. Then he delivered a heavy punch to the man’s dantian, using overwhelming force to destroy his entire dantian and the yuanying inside.

Only then did he clap his hands, stand up, wipe the blood from his hands clean, and turn to leave.

At that moment, a purple dot suddenly appeared not far behind him. Ye Feng’s body stiffened instantly. “Damn it…”

He tried to relax and pretended not to know anything, continuing to walk forward.

Then a man’s voice came from behind him, “Wait!”

Ye Feng stopped immediately and slowly turned to look at the person, secretly relieved. “At least it’s not that guy’s wife!”

“The two flashes just now were your attacks, right?” The white-haired old man frowned as he looked at the dead young man.

“What flashes?” Although Ye Feng guessed it might refer to the photon cannon, he wasn’t prepared to admit it.

“Strange. This guy’s death method isn’t that kind of…” The old man seemed to be talking to himself.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Ye Feng said, carefully preparing to leave.

“The flashes clearly came from here. How dare you say it wasn’t you?” The old man seemed convinced that Ye Feng was the person he was looking for. “Were those two flashes on Origin Planet also done by you?”

“Elder, I really don’t know what you’re talking about!” Though he said this, Ye Feng felt a bit uneasy. “Could this old guy be that Yu Huawen’s father? I must absolutely not admit such a thing!”

“This guy’s death method is indeed a bit different, but you’re the only living person in this alley…” The old man’s intentions were confusing to Ye Feng. “Did you kill this kid?”

“Well, I killed him. So what? I don’t know what you mean by ‘flashes’—I was fighting with him at the time. I did see two flashes out of the corner of my eye, but I thought they were lightning and didn’t pay much attention to them.” Ye Feng knew the other person wasn’t likely to be the victim’s family member; admitting he had killed the man could help him avoid the consequences of using the photon cannon. “If his wife finds out it was me who did this, I’m in trouble! So I need to get away from here right away. Goodbye!” After saying that, Ye Feng waved at the old man and carefully stepped back.
