Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Chapter 204 Hehehehe

Hehehe

A chilling sound echoed within the bamboo forest, followed by the appearance of two crimson eyes from within the black mist. These eyes seemed to possess some kind of soul-devouring magic; if an ordinary person were here, their soul would surely be devoured.

"snort!"

Han Feng showed no mercy to these scumbags, and with a wave of his hand, he unleashed the full power of a two-star Dou Zong.

"Iron Protector, you think you can play tricks on me?"

Hehehe

Sensing the powerful aura emanating from Han Feng, the Iron Guardian, hidden in the black mist, narrowed his eyes sharply, then let out another eerie, cackling laugh.

"Mr. Han Feng truly lives up to his reputation as a disciple of the Medicine Venerable. Even after arduous cultivation, he has reached the Dou Zong realm in just a few decades. I wonder if the Medicine Venerable, if he knew this in the afterlife, would regret it!"

"Fire Transformation—Poseidon's Trident!"

"Does Protector Tie think that Han's strange fire can only be used to refine pills?"

Yao Chen is a pain that will never leave Han Feng's heart. Sometimes, when he is alone at night, he has regretted it.

If he hadn't been misled by Elder Mu Gu, with his talent and Yao Chen's affection for him, perhaps he would already be at the peak of Dou Zong or even Dou Zun realm!

However, anyone who thinks Han Feng feels he made a mistake is sorely mistaken. He simply feels he's not doing as well as he used to. How can someone who would kill his mentor simply because of outsiders' instigation possibly believe he did something wrong?

"No, I did nothing wrong. It's all your fault, you old bastard. Since you gave up all your confidantes for me, why won't you even give me a mere cultivation technique? You deserve to die by my hand, you old bastard."

After a brief moment of regret came a frenzied rage and roars. Of course, all of this was vented in the dead of night, when he was alone. At this moment, the ugly mask was subtly pointed out by the Iron Protector, and Han Feng immediately lost his composure. He condensed the Sea Heart Flame into the shape of a weapon and used it with unparalleled skill. It seemed that the two sides were about to break off all pretense of civility.

Hehehe

However, Iron Guardian seemed to have some trump card up his sleeve, continuing to chuckle strangely, seemingly utterly fearless. Of course, given that Han Feng was an excellent partner who had helped him achieve many successes, Iron Guardian refrained from further provocation.

"Mr. Han Feng, I did indeed misspoke just now. However, I'm sure you didn't invite me here just to start an argument!"

Sensing the way out offered by Protector Tie, the shrewd and calculating Han Feng naturally took the opportunity to end the topic, putting away the strange fire in his hand and speaking in a mysterious tone.

"Iron Protector, I invited you here today because I want you to do a big deal!"

"Hehehe, Mr. Han Feng, just tell me what you need me to do. As long as you offer enough soul power, there's no place in this Northwest Continent that members of my Soul Palace can't go!"

The black mist rose and fell, seemingly responding to the Iron Protector's arrogance.

"I wonder if Protector Tie would be interested in accompanying Han Feng to Canaan Academy?"

"He's just a mere two-star Dou Zong, yet he's so arrogant. I've seen plenty of Dou Zun experts back in the day. Oh well, he's just cannon fodder anyway. Let him be arrogant for a while!" Although he harbored contempt and murderous intent in his heart, Han Feng's face remained unchanged, with a smile on his face, appearing as a refined gentleman.

"Hehehe, Canaan Academy, in the Black Corner Region, whose reputation is known to all. Especially in recent years, several major forces have been destroyed and their temples were destroyed because of conflicts with it. Moreover, the founder of Canaan Academy is said to have already reached the Dou Zun level. Although he has been elusive for many years, who knows if he has left behind any special methods?"

Upon hearing the words "Canaan Academy," Protector Tie hesitated for a rare moment before speaking. Although shrouded in black mist, Han Feng sensed a hint of apprehension in his tone, which only fueled his contempt for these rats in the gutter. Even if they had reached the Dou Zong realm, they were still nothing but cowards.

"What does the Iron Protector mean?"

"Hehehe, Canaan Academy, if I'm not careful, this protector might perish there. So, more money is needed!"

"Iron Protector, please name your price. Anything Han Feng can do, we'll agree to!"

Han Feng waved his hand dismissively, his expression unchanged, but inwardly he thought, "Whatever the price, we'll see if you live to keep it!"

"Two souls at least at the initial Dou Huang level, or the soul of a sixth-grade alchemist. Of course, if Mr. Han Feng finds this difficult, providing a large number of low-level Dou Wang or even Dou Ling souls is also acceptable. Hehehe."

The Iron Guardian, shrouded in black mist, revealed a look of wild joy. His two scarlet eyes trembled, and even the black mist could not hide them.

"Hehehe, Han Feng is truly my lucky star! If this succeeds this time, my performance targets for the next few years can be met ahead of schedule!"

"Iron Guardian, your price is a bit too high!"

It seemed that Protector Tie's offer was simply too high. Han Feng remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking, his expression somewhat grim. This scene was noticed by the two scarlet eyes, who then burst into even more arrogant, grotesque laughter.

"Hehehe, Mr. Han Feng, this is always the price our Soul Hall charges." Ignoring Han Feng's unpleasant expression, Protector Tie's next words were even more ruthless. "Oh, right, there's one more thing I need to tell Mr. Han Feng in advance: for any business our Soul Hall undertakes, even if the mission is unsuccessful, we will still collect the full fee! How about it, Mr. Han Feng, you should think it over carefully!"

"Iron Protector, you..."

Although it wasn't the first time Han Feng had cooperated with the Soul Palace, he was still infuriated by their shameless behavior. Of course, having already sentenced the Iron Protector to death in his heart, he wasn't truly angry. However, putting on a troubled expression was easy for the extremely shrewd Han Feng.

"Very well!" As if he really needed Protector Tie's help, Han Feng sighed helplessly before speaking, "I agree to Protector Tie's conditions. Please make sure to do your best when the time comes."

As Han Feng finished speaking, he seemed to be gritting his teeth, which made Iron Protector laugh strangely again.

"Mr. Han Feng, please rest assured. Don't you know my character?" Ignoring Han Feng's disdainful gaze, Protector Tie now appeared quite sincere. "Besides, even if Mr. Han Feng doesn't trust me, don't you trust the reward you've offered?"

"In that case, I'll trouble Protector Tie in three days!" Han Feng bowed slightly.

Hehehe
