DRAGON EMPEROR

Chapter 5 The Assassination that Determines

Lu Ming was instantly on guard. He held his breath and listened carefully.

"Haha of course. I spent a lot of effort to convince one of the Psammophis Pirate leader's stash. Later, I found out about this side lane through sl*t. If I wasn't on good terms with you, I wouldn't even bring you here.”

Another voice sounded.

Lu Ming knew that they were two young men.

"I know it! Brother Feng is very handsome and suave, which woman in this world could possibly resist your charm?” A series of sycophant words came from the first voice.

"Haah!' Brother Feng seems satisfied. “There is a cave here, let's go in and rest. We wait for God to fight the Psammophis Pirates later, and take this opportunity to sneak into their lair. Their leader's treasure will ripen for us to reap!” she said.

Thus, two youths around seventeen and eighteen years old entered the cave.

They looked at Lu Ming as they walked into the cave.

“Lu Ming, is that you? What are you doing here?"

One of the young men with a mole on his face exclaimed.

“People of the Li.” Family Lu Ming was also stunned.

He recognized two young men from Li Ping's old house. They were juniors of the Li Family.

One of them was Li Feng, who had handsome traits. Who had a black mole named Li Fei.

“Lu Ming, our conversation earlier, you heard it?” Li Feng's face dimmed as he looked at Lu Ming.

“I guess you could say so!” said Lu Ming.

“Lu Ming, since you heard it, then you can only blame yourself for being unlucky.”

A killing intent flashed in Li Fengs eyes.

"You want to kill me?" Lu Ming's face dimmed.

“Lu Ming, remember to be smarter in your next life. Trash like you should not wander around, or you will easily find yourself on the verge of death.” Li Feng's voice was ice-cold, his disgust clearly visible in his tone.

“Brother Feng, you don't need to move. I'll kill him.” Li Fei took a step forward, seemingly underestimating Lu Ming.

Although the two of them saw the tiger carcass inside the cave, they did not think that Lu Ming had killed it, but rather another beast, or even a demonic beast.

Did they not know what standard Lu Ming possessed?

“Mm, hurry. Overcome this trash, and we will rest for a while,” Li Feng nodded.

“Brother Feng, rest assured, this will end in an instant,” Li Fei smiled viciously as his hands formed claws that pointed towards Lu Ming's throat.

Li Fei was in the middle of the Beginner Realm and had opened five meridians. His claws had at least two hundred and fifty kilograms behind him. If it was on target, even if he did not die, Lu Ming would suffer heavy injuries.

“Because you want to kill me, I have to kill you first.”

Lu Ming muttered, killing intent flashed in his eyes. His body moved and a fist floated out.

Fire Dragon Fist!

He was waiting for an opportunity to throw a punch, and the punch landed right on Li Fei's chest.

Bam!

Li Fei flew like a sack of cloth. He hit the cave wall violently, spurting blood from his mouth before he stopped breathing.

Li Fei was killed by Lu Ming in a single blow.

“You... You killed Li Fei? How's it possible?"

From the side, Li Feng stared. “Are you not supposed to be trash? But you managed to kill Li Fei?” he screamed in disbelief.

"Junk? Hehe, then let this trash send you to your death.”

Lu Ming sneered.

“Send me to my death? Very amusing. I've opened eight meridians, you think you can kill me? Do you think I am Li Fei? It's time to die!”

Li Fei quickly calmed down. He unsheathed his sword and swung it towards Lu Ming.

However, Li Feng was just an ordinary martial artist. His martial skills were inferior, and his level of achievement was even worse. How could he be a match for Lu Ming?

Using the Dragon Snake Step, Li Feng's sword was successfully avoided with a single step. A fist floated up and landed on Li Feng's stomach.

Li Feng shouted in pain as he was lifted off the ground. He fell to the floor as blood came out of his mouth.

However, Li Feng had a higher cultivation. Instead of dying, he suffered heavy injuries.

Lu Ming walked towards Li Feng, his terrifying killing intent emanating from him.

“No, don't kill me!” Li Feng shouted, frightened.

He had never expected that Lu Ming had grown so powerful.

“How to get to the side lane to the Psammophis Pirate's nest? Spit up."

Lu Ming asked.

Lu Ming was actually able to kill Li Feng in a single blow. Psammophis Pirates' nest is the reason why he didn't do just that.

The Psammophis Pirates were a group of robbers active around the Beast Mountain. They rob and kill, committing all sorts of heinous acts.

Due to the complicated terrain in the mountain forest, they were never wiped out.

Over the years, the Psammophis Pirates had plundered countless swords and treasures. If Lu Ming could obtain it, then he would have the money to purchase the Dragon Tiger Pill.

“I can tell you where the side road leads to the Pirate's lair Psammophis, but you have to let me go.”

Li Feng said with a glint in his eyes.

At the same time, he shouted furiously in his mind. Once this was done, he would definitely take revenge on Lu Ming. Not only her, but her mother as well, she also had to suffer.

“You are not in a position to inquire about the current condition. I'll kill you soon if you don't tell me.” Lu Ming's eyes were like ice, filled with killing intent as he stared at Li Feng.

Li Feng's heart turned cold. "All right! I'll talk, I'll talk..”.

At that moment, Li Feng revealed a side road leading to the lair of the Psammophis Pirates.

“I can go now, right?” Li Feng asked after he finished speaking.

"Go? Letting you go so you can take revenge on me?” Lu Ming sneered.

After saying that, he hit Li Feng's chest with his fist, killing him.

During the joys and sorrows of these past few years, Lu Ming had learned to understand the world.

In the world of martial arts, the strong prey on the weak. Sometimes, even if you save someone's life, they'll take yours.

Therefore, Lu Ming could not be soft-hearted when facing his enemy. When he does that, the one who will die is him.

After that, Lu Ming began to search the bodies of Li Feng and Li Fei..

Both of these people are very poor. Their total money did not reach fifty taels.

Yet a martial arts manual was found on Li Feng's body.

'Single Lightning Sword Punch' was a Level Without Exclusion sword technique. Although its value was not high, it was suitable for Lu Ming.

Lu Ming had no other method of attack other than the Fire Dragon Fist. It just so happened that he could learn sword arts.

Lu Ming placed the martial arts manual, money, and silver bell flower into the Supreme Temple. Then, he exited the cave and followed Li Feng's direction to the Pirate Psammophis's lair.

The Psammophis Pirates' nest is on a mountain top fifteen kilometers away.

The peak was surrounded by steep cliffs on three sides, even demonic apes would find it difficult to cross. There is only a narrow path in one direction to climb the mountain.

Lu Ming spent up to two hours before he approached the peak.

On the way there, there were several times he had almost met a demonic beast. It was a dangerous journey.

The demonic beast was strong and cruel. They were categorized into nine Levels, with each Level divided into nine Classes. As for martial artists, each Realm was also divided into nine Classes, starting from the Warrior Realm.

Even if the demon beast was the lowest Grade of the lowest Level, he was still on the same level as a First Grade Warrior Realm martial artist. It was something that Lu Ming could not handle at the moment.

Lu Ming was waiting nearby. From what Li Feng said, the Li Family Master, Li Fu, would lead the Li Family master to eliminate the Psammophis Pirates today.

Of course, it was only natural that Li Fu was not so good-natured in eliminating the danger to society. His goal was the loot looted by the Psammophis Pirates over the years.

As expected, over a hundred silhouettes appeared in the mountain forest, charging towards the nest of the Psammophis Pirates at high speed.

“Enemy attack!” A loud shout sounded from the top of the mountain.

What followed was an intense cry of conflict.

“It's time.” Lu Ming started to move. He crossed the mountain forest using the Dragon Snake Steps.

He quickly reached the back of the Psammophic Pirates' nest. There was a hidden route that allowed him to climb to the top of the mountain.

It was the exit left behind by the Psammophic Pirates. If at any time they cannot stop the advance of the enemy, they can retreat from there.
