Douluo Continent has a system, but I don't want to use it.

Chapter 39 Interception

"Yes, sir, the last two rooms were just booked," the waiter carefully explained to the young man.

"Was it those two who made the decision?" The young man looked around and pointed at Fang Tian and Qiu Fengyan.

"Uh, yes, sir." The waiter hesitated for a moment, then nodded to the young man.

"Gentlemen, my name is Yu Feng, and I am from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. I really like this inn and always stay here when I come to Tian Dou City. I wonder if you two could give up one of my rooms? I am willing to offer one hundred gold soul coins as compensation." The young man named Yu Feng approached the two men and said, looking up at them.

"I'm sorry, we've already decided to stay here. You should find another place. With your money, you should be able to find another hotel quickly." Qiu Fengyan's tone was cold and harsh, directly rebuking Yu Feng's arrogance.

"How dare you look down on the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan?" Yu Feng roared in anger.

"Hehe, friend, don't be angry. If you offer three thousand gold soul coins, we'll give you the room." Fang Tian said, teasingly, seeing that he had encountered another oddball.

"Three thousand gold soul coins? Why don't you just rob me? Do you think I'm a sucker?" Yu Feng asked angrily.

"Heh, if you want to act like a rich person, just pull out your money. The way you pulled out 100 gold soul coins just now was really laughable," Fang Tian continued sarcastically.

"Heh, you actually look down on the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the three upper sects! I'll teach you a lesson today!" The young man was enraged and released his martial spirit. Instantly, a large, upright lizard possessed him, and blue lightning began to crackle around Yu Feng.

"Heh, what a joke. You wanted us to give up our room, and we offered you terms for it. Now you complain that the terms are too high. Do you think the world revolves around you?" Fang Tian said, gripping a throwing knife with his left hand.

Although it's not easy to kill someone in the city, it's still possible to teach him a lesson he'll never forget.

"Please don't fight, gentlemen. This is Heaven Dou City, where private duels between Soul Masters are forbidden. If you have any disputes, you can resolve them outside the city. I have also notified the city guards, who will be there soon. I hope you can exercise restraint." The inn manager finally arrived late and hurriedly tried to mediate between the two sides.

"Alright, I'll let you off the hook for today, but we'll see what happens later." The young man was clearly wary and withdrew his martial spirit.

"Heh, idiots have a lot of fun!" Qiu Fengyan mocked mercilessly.

The young man's face darkened, but he turned and left without saying a word.

"Should we change hotels?" Qiu Fengyan asked.

"No need. Judging from that person's behavior just now, it's unlikely that he would make a move inside Tiandou City. If he does make a move outside Tiandou City, we can run away if we can't beat him," Fang Tian said nonchalantly.

"Fine, I'll listen to you. You're smarter than me anyway." Qiu Fengyan said helplessly, but then added, "This decision is completely out of character for your cautious nature."

"Heh, times have changed. Now we can run away if we can't beat the enemy, but before we couldn't even run away if we wanted to. So naturally we have to be extra careful."

……

The two rested in Tiandou City for a day and bought quite a few things. Fang Tian planned to cultivate there after finding the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and wouldn't return for a while.

Fang Tian and Qiu Fengyan chatted and laughed as they walked out of Tiandou City.

"Hmm, someone's following us!" Fang Tian noticed and alerted Qiu Fengyan.

"Yeah, I sensed that too. Looks like that guy from yesterday is still not satisfied. We should be careful; I wonder who he called?"

"If the fight breaks out in a crowded place, we should try not to get entangled and just run away. If it breaks out in a deserted place, it means the other party is going to kill us, so we don't need to hold back," Fang Tian said, narrowing his eyes.

"I'm from my province," Qiu Fengyan nodded.

Fang Tian and Qiu Fengyan did not encounter anyone stopping them after leaving the city, and immediately understood what the other party meant.

The two continued their journey toward Sunset Forest without making a sound, but carefully kept an eye on their surroundings as they traveled.

After venturing five miles into the Sunset Forest, someone finally appeared.

"Hehe, do you two still remember me? You didn't expect me to come looking for you again, did you?" The young man from yesterday stopped the two men triumphantly.

"Heh, what a moron!" Qiu Fengyan retorted dismissively.

When the person came out, Fang Tian used the identification system to check the information of the two middle-aged people who came out with the young man.

One was a Soul King, and the other a Soul Emperor, both wielding the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul. There were no ambushes around, so they probably assumed they had them cornered.

"So it was you who insulted my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?" asked the Soul Emperor among the three.

"Heh, you think you're in the right? Just because we don't want to give him the room we reserved, does that mean we're insulting your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan? How domineering!" Fang Tian mocked, while simultaneously gripping a willow-leaf throwing knife in his hand.

"Hehe, asking you to give up your rooms was a sign of respect from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Not only did you refuse, you also insulted my nephew, which is an insult to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Today you will pay the price for this..." The Soul Emperor's sinister smile suddenly froze.

Fang Tian had no time to listen to their nonsense, and launched his throwing knife before the Soul Emperor could finish speaking.

With a hiss, the Soul Emperor collapsed. Meanwhile, Qiu Fengyan, taking advantage of the Soul King's momentary daze after Fang Tian launched his willow-leaf throwing knife, also fired one. The Soul King didn't even have time to react before tumbling to the ground.

The young man turned pale when he realized that he was the only one left on his side in the blink of an eye.

"You actually dared to kill members of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan! Aren't you afraid of retaliation? If you release me now, I'll plead with the sect on your behalf, and maybe they'll let you go," the young man shouted, his voice trembling with fear. At the same time, his martial spirit activated, and his body shimmered with blue light.

"As expected, there's more fun in being a moron." Qiu Fengyan didn't bother to waste words with him and directly threw a flying knife at him.

"Villains die from talking too much! This is something Fang Tian has repeatedly emphasized," Qiu Fengyan muttered after launching the willow-leaf throwing knife.

However, the throwing knife did not kill the youth as expected. It veered slightly off course as it approached his eyes, striking him directly between the eyebrows. Although it pierced the bone, it did not reach the brain.

"Ah!" the young man cried out in pain, taking a step back. He had no idea how he had been attacked. "Since you won't give us a way out, then we'll all die together!"

The young man unleashed his desperate trump card, temporarily elevating his strength from Soul Master to Soul King.

Qiu Fengyan was stunned when she saw the flying knife go astray. She immediately drew her goose feather knife, stepped on the Nine Palaces Step, circled around to the back of the young man, and stabbed him directly in the heart.

"I sensed something strange. It seemed like the throwing knife was deflected by some force, which is why it missed," Qiu Fengyan said, puzzled.

"Lightning creates a field, and if the angle is just right, it can cause the phenomenon we just witnessed. So I took advantage of the fact that they hadn't activated their martial souls yet and struck first," Fang Tian explained simply.
