One sturdy man sneered, "Unless you give each of us a Potential Elixir, there's no deal."

"And you think you're worthy of consuming a Potential Elixir?"

Just then, the nearly breathless Wolf King suddenly roared and pounced again.

Its jaws snapped shut, tearing the sturdy man's entire head clean off. BAM! CRASH! THUD! The severed head, its face still frozen in a sneer, landed on the ground and rolled down the slope.

The other four were immediately paralyzed with fear.

The stench of urine filled the air.

With a murderous glint in its eyes, the Wolf King dispatched the other four in an instant.

BANG!

The Wolf King collapsed to the ground as well.

This time, it didn't get up again.

Even the person shooting arrows from the cover of the jungle felt their blood run cold at the sight.

Wolves... they truly are terrifying creatures!

WHOOSH!

Two arrows shot out, aimed straight at the Wolf King!

Although deeply poisoned, its ferocity was such that the hidden assailants felt an urgent need to end its life quickly.

"There must be at least five of them!" Qin Feiyang mumbled.

He took out a Top-Grade Detoxification Pill and tossed it into his mouth.

Immediately, he darted towards the Wolf King like a bolt of lightning.

THWACK!

Four arrows slammed into his thigh, abdomen, and arm, and blood gushed out like a geyser!

But he didn't pause for an instant.

Enduring the heart-wrenching pain, he lunged forward, grabbed the Wolf King's tail, and in the next moment, vanished into the ancient castle.

"Boss!" Fatty and Lu Hong immediately ran over.

Before Qin Feiyang could give any orders, Fatty took out a Top-Grade Detoxification Pill and stuffed it into the Wolf King's mouth.

"Damn it, who could it be!" Qin Feiyang knelt on one knee, his gaze chilling to the bone.

"Bear with it," Lu Hong said softly, then skillfully pulled the four arrows from Qin Feiyang's body.

Throughout the entire process, Qin Feiyang didn't even frown.

Lu Hong then took out a Top-Grade Healing Pill for Qin Feiyang to consume, before picking up the arrows to examine them carefully.

Soon, a cold light flashed in her eyes.

She looked at Qin Feiyang and said, "Based on my observations, the materials used to forge these arrows are expensive, and the workmanship is exquisite. Only the four major superpowers would have the financial resources and capability for this."

Fatty frowned. "But we've already killed everyone we needed to. Who else would try to assassinate us?"

Lu Hong shook her head, unable to figure it out either.

Fatty said, "Could it be the newly appointed Wu Yun and Zhang Yi?"

Qin Feiyang stood up and said gravely, "No need for speculation. We'll find out once we go out and capture them!"

The effects of a Top-Grade Healing Pill were far superior to an ordinary one.

Even as he spoke, the bleeding had stopped.

The wounds were already beginning to heal.

It was time to counterattack.

"You need to be careful," Lu Hong cautioned.

Qin Feiyang nodded and, with Blue Snow in hand, appeared on the path.

However, silence permeated the surroundings.

Nor did any more hidden arrows emerge.

Qin Feiyang raised an eyebrow and leaped directly into the jungle.

But all he could see were shrubs, wild grass, large trees, and fierce beasts.

At this moment, these fierce beasts were trembling, their pupils filled with terror.

Qin Feiyang climbed a large tree, found a vantage point, and scanned the area below, but he couldn't spot a single soul.

He was somewhat puzzled.

Even the fierce beasts are terrified; those people must be incredibly strong. So why are they hiding?

Could it be because they're afraid of revealing their identities?

That makes sense.

He had the ancient castle; killing him wouldn't be easy.

That was probably why they remained hidden.

However, since the assassination failed, they would definitely try again.

Qin Feiyang didn't waste any more time. He returned to the path and walked for several hundred meters, stopping beside a black rock to look ahead.

Just over a hundred meters ahead lay the third danger point.

He entered the ancient castle and saw the Wolf King still unconscious. He frowned and asked, "How is it?"

"Nothing too serious," Lu Hong said. "It's just that the poison has already permeated its blood. It will take some time to clear it completely. Luckily, we have Top-Grade Detoxification Pills."

This type of poison is terrifying. Ordinary Detoxification Pills can't eradicate it completely. Without a Top-Grade Detoxification Pill, the Wolf King would surely have been doomed.

Qin Feiyang's eyes glinted with a cold light. He looked at Fatty and asked, "Have you found the Heart Rot Grass I asked you to get?"

"Yes," Fatty nodded.

After ransacking King Pan's treasury, Fatty possessed nearly every medicinal herb, aside from the exceptionally rare ones.

Heart Rot Grass was a pale black plant with three leaves. Each leaf was as long as a chopstick and as wide as a thumb, emanating a pungent stench of rotting corpses that was utterly repulsive.

Fatty, pinching his nose with a look of disgust, tossed it to Qin Feiyang, urging, "Quick, take it away."

Qin Feiyang caught it and tucked it into his robes.

Though despised, Heart Rot Grass was one of the primary ingredients for refining the Elixir of Misfortune.

Leaving the ancient castle, Qin Feiyang walked towards the danger point, his peripheral vision constantly scanning the jungle on both sides.

The danger point was an ideal place for an ambush.

He believed those hidden assailants wouldn't miss such a prime opportunity.

SCREECH!!

As soon as he entered the danger point, a skin-crawling screech echoed from both sides of the jungle.

Swarms of black, poisonous insects rushed towards Qin Feiyang.

Some flew through the air, while others crawled on the ground.

They were entirely pitch black, longer than chopsticks, with countless tentacles on their abdomens. They formed a dense, horrifying swarm!

WHOOSH!!!

Sure enough, just then, several more arrows whistled towards him from behind, fired from concealment.

Qin Feiyang smirked coldly. Executing the Smoke Step, he swiftly dodged.

The flying centipedes were about to engulf Qin Feiyang, but they suddenly turned tail and scrambled back into the jungle as if fleeing for their lives.

"How is this possible!" a shocked voice cried out from the jungle behind him.

Clearly, they were stunned by this turn of events.

Qin Feiyang snorted coldly to himself, then abruptly turned. Like a flash of lightning, he shot towards the source of the voice!

Upon entering the jungle, he spotted a man in black standing dumbfounded in a patch of grass about ten-odd meters away.

Simultaneously, he saw six other men in black positioned in different spots.

Seven of them! More than I expected!

And they all looked quite formidable.

Qin Feiyang's gaze swept over them quickly before he lunged at the nearest man in black.

But suddenly, he stopped in his tracks, his gaze fixed on a middle-aged man standing to his left.

Disbelief washed over his face!

That man... it's Commander Xu from the Imperial Family!

This was the man who had gone out of his way to make things difficult for him at the First Prince and Lin Yiyi's wedding. He'd never forget that face as long as he lived!

It all happened in a flash!

"Not good, he's spotted us!" one of the men in black yelped, startled.

Commander Xu's expression changed. "Kill him! Quickly!" he barked.

The seven men charged towards Qin Feiyang, their eyes glinting with murderous intent.

Qin Feiyang said grimly, "Commander Xu, why are you doing this?"

This man is a War King.

I'm no match for him; a direct confrontation is out of the question.

Seeing Commander Xu remain silent, Qin Feiyang decisively turned and dashed towards the danger point.

Wherever he passed, the flying centipedes frantically scrambled out of his way.

This scene left Commander Xu and his six men utterly flabbergasted.

"Commander, what do we do?" one of the men in black asked, horrified.

Among the seven, only Commander Xu was a War King; the other six were Nine-Star Martial Ancestors. Seeing the dark, writhing mass of flying centipedes, they couldn't help but recoil.

"Out of my way!" Commander Xu roared as he rushed forward. His Battle Intent erupted like a torrent, sweeping everything before it.

Swarms of flying centipedes were instantly reduced to bloody pulp, raining down like gory sleet—a truly horrifying spectacle!

The strength of a War King was not to be underestimated.

Although these flying centipedes could spit venom from a distance, none could get near Commander Xu.

Qin Feiyang furrowed his brow.

At this rate, they'll catch up to me eventually.

Suddenly, his body tensed, a profound sense of crisis washing over him.

SCREECH!

Accompanied by an ear-piercing shriek, a black streak of light shot out from the jungle ahead.

It was another flying centipede, this one a full meter long.

The mere sight of it was enough to make one's scalp crawl, let alone battle it.

BOOM!

A black beam of energy erupted from its mouth.

That's Battle Intent!

Which means it's a venomous beast at the War King realm!

Qin Feiyang bore the brunt of the attack. Just as the Battle Intent was about to engulf him, he vanished with a single thought.

The Battle Intent then surged towards Commander Xu.

Commander Xu snorted coldly. He pointed a finger into the air, and his Battle Intent shot out like a rainbow, colliding with the black Battle Intent.

BOOM!

CRACK!

Instantly, a destructive shockwave rolled outwards in all directions like a tidal wave.

Shrubs, wild grass, large trees, and the flying centipedes in its path were all obliterated, turning to dust!

In an instant, the area for tens of meters around transformed into a desolate wasteland!

Seeing countless of its kind perish, the centipede king became utterly enraged, its savage nature flaring.

It rushed towards Commander Xu and his men, reared its head, and spat out a torrent of venom.

Instantly, the venom rained down from above like a torrential downpour.

"Commander Xu, let's retreat quickly!" the six men in black urged, their faces pale.

"It's merely equivalent to a One-Star War King. What waves can it possibly make?" Commander Xu's face was filled with disdain. His Battle Intent flared, forming a protective barrier around himself and his men.

The venomous rain fell but was completely blocked by the barrier.

Just then, Qin Feiyang appeared out of nowhere behind the centipede king. He turned, grinned at Commander Xu, and then dashed towards the path without a backward glance.

"You dare provoke me, Commander? You're courting death!" Commander Xu was seething with uncontrollable rage. With his six men, he shot forward like a meteor. In an instant, he was before the centipede king, unleashing a devastating punch.

The centipede king shrieked mournfully as it was sent flying, its meter-long body exploding violently in mid-air.

Now, he had truly stirred up a hornet's nest.

Flying centipedes swarmed towards him from all directions like mad things, a black tide covering the sky and land.

The six men in black were instantly paralyzed with terror.

Commander Xu had to practically drag them along within his Battle Intent barrier as he forced a path through the swarm.

Moments later, Commander Xu fought his way out of the encirclement and reached the path. Looking ahead, he saw Qin Feiyang disappearing around a corner.

"Little beast, I won't let you get away with this!" Commander Xu's killing intent flared violently.

Not even the countless flying centipedes could halt his advance. He swiftly broke out of the hazardous zone and reached the corner.

However, Qin Feiyang had vanished without a trace.
