Chapter 17 Memories of the Past

Over three hundred people instantly surrounded Shi Feng and his group in the fountain square, each drawing their swords, glaring menacingly.

However, Shi Feng found it strange that these people didn't seem to be charging in.

Instead, they opened a path, letting in twenty-odd people.

These twenty-some people walked up to Fengyun Wuhui, their faces grim, their expressions numb. Moreover, these people were only around levels five or six, their equipment was mediocre at best, far inferior to the elites of the Martial Union. They didn't look like people from the Martial Union at all.

"It all depends on your performance now," Fengyun Wuhui said sternly, looking at these people. Then, his gaze shifted to Fire Dance, a sinister smile appearing on his lips. The show was about to begin.

These people nodded indifferently, drew their weapons, and turned towards Shi Feng.

Fire Dance and Water Buffalo, who were at a distance, were shocked when they saw these people.

"How... how are you with the Martial Union?" Fire Dance questioned loudly, looking at these people.

The twenty-odd people who had walked over weren't unrelated nobodies, but Fire Dance's former comrades who had shared her joys and sorrows.

At this moment, Fengyun Wuhui looked at Shi Feng and laughed loudly, "Hahaha, Ye Feng, I am a very generous person. These people helped you kill many of our Martial Union members before. Now, I've promised them that as long as they kill you and your companions, I'll forgive them. The Martial Union will never bother them again."

"Ye Feng, don't you think you should do something for them to compensate for their losses?" Fengyun Wuhui sneered. He wouldn't let Shi Feng off easily after Shi Feng had made such a fool of himself last time.

He wanted to see if Shi Feng dared to attack. If Shi Feng dared to attack, the headline on the official website tomorrow would be about a publicly acknowledged swordsman betraying his principles, being selfish, and killing his friends to protect himself. He would definitely be ruined. Then, let's see how Shi Feng could continue in God's Domain.

Fire Dance couldn't hold back any longer. A cold glint flashed in her eyes as she glared fiercely at Fengyun Wuhui and shouted, "Fengyun Wuhui, you despicable villain, these people were killing the Martial Union's people under my command. If you have the guts, come at me!"

Fire Dance was very happy to join Shi Feng's team, but she didn't expect such a thing to happen and embarrass Shi Feng. If Shi Feng killed these people now, others would definitely gossip, saying that Shi Feng was ruthless and heartless, and would even kill those who had helped him before.

Although she didn't do this, these people were indeed her companions, and they killed the Martial Union's people under her leadership. Now that these people had betrayed her, sided with the Martial Union, and turned their blades against her, making it difficult for Shi Feng, she felt very sorry for Shi Feng.

"Fire Dance, we have no choice. If we want to be forgiven by the Martial Union and continue playing in Red Leaf Town, we have to do this."

"Fire Dance, this is our only way out. I hope you can understand us."

"Yeah, we were forced to do this. Just let us kill you once."

Fire Dance's companions said as they approached. Some magic-type classes had already started chanting spells, preparing to attack.

"You..." Fire Dance's expression was extremely ugly. Then, she looked at Shi Feng and apologized, "Brother Ye Feng, I'm sorry. I'll give you an explanation for this."

"Fengyun Wuhui, listen up. I, Fire Dance, am withdrawing from the team from now on. I have nothing to do with Brother Ye Feng anymore. I'll settle things with you." Fire Dance directly left the party. After making the public announcement, she took out her daggers and walked towards her former companions, ready to deal with them herself, so that Shi Feng wouldn't be slandered in any way.

Fengyun Wuhui's face turned ashen when he saw this. He didn't expect Fire Dance to be so decisive.

"Fire Dance, aren't you just embarrassing us? We were comrades after all. How can you do this?"

"That's right, we went through thick and thin with you for so long. Is this how you treat us?"

Fire Dance's companions started to accuse her. These accusations deeply pierced Fire Dance's heart. The laughter, the pain, everything they had shared had become a thing of the past. All she could do was hold back her tears and strike mercilessly.

"Fire Dance, are you really so heartless as to kill us?" a middle-aged assassin uncle in gray leather armor said resentfully.

This made Fire Dance pause for a moment.

But then, the assassin uncle's dagger stabbed towards Fire Dance's heart.

With a clang, the shiny dagger was blocked by a jet-black sword.

"Fire Dance, you don't take me, the team leader, seriously at all. Since you've joined my team, you're still a member of our team until I, the team leader, decide to kick you out. I won't recognize your selfish withdrawal."

"You're still a member of our team, so I, the team leader, have the obligation to take responsibility for all of this. I'll clear away these painful memories for you."

Since entering God's Domain, Shi Feng had never cared about how outsiders viewed him, because only the weak cared about the opinions of others.

"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you one more thing. Everyone who joins my team must remember one thing: in God's Domain, if you always care about the opinions of others, you can't improve your strength and skills, and there's no need to care about how others see you. Just move forward on the path you want to take. Only then can you become a true expert."

Shi Feng suddenly appeared in front of Fire Dance, like a towering mountain, so that no danger or harm could pass through his back.

"Brother Ye Feng..." Tears streamed down Fire Dance's eyes, and her heart was deeply touched. It was as if the door to a world of experts was slowly opening. Perhaps it was because of her excessive caution that she had never become a true expert.

So what if she killed them? So what if others judged her? The strong never cared about these insignificant things. The only thing they needed to consider was moving forward bravely and constantly improving their strength!

Water Buffalo, who had rushed over, was also moved beyond words after hearing this. He had never thought that Shi Feng would be so reliable and admirable.

Cola and the others exchanged smiles.

That's right, this was the captain they admired.

Then, Cola and the others stood up and blocked Fire Dance.

"Well said, attack now!" Fengyun Wuhui was overjoyed. He had already recorded this video. Shi Feng wouldn't be able to deny it then.

"Ye Feng, you despicable villain, we helped you so much, but in the end, you want to kill us. You're not even human!"

Fire Dance's former companions roared and charged towards Shi Feng, wanting to cut Shi Feng to pieces.

Shi Feng smiled disdainfully, looked at the twenty melee and magic-type classes charging towards him, and raised the Abyssal Blade, waving it gently.

Wind Lightning Flash!

Three lightning bolts instantly swept across the bodies of the twenty-some people, causing damage exceeding five hundred or even one thousand, instantly killing everyone.

The green marker instantly turned blood red, chilling everyone's hearts.

"Brother Ye Feng!"

"Captain!"

Fire Dance and the others were immediately anxious. Actively killing players in the town would result in being killed on the spot by the guards, and after resurrecting, they would be directly locked up. Moreover, with Shi Feng's red name status, he would lose at least three or even four levels if he died.

"Hahaha, Ye Feng is finally a red name. Without the protection of the town, I can now kill you here without any scruples and make you drop all your equipment." Fengyun Wuhui said with a big laugh, "Everyone else, attack now. Whoever can kill Ye Feng, I'll directly promote them to elite team leader."

But as soon as Fengyun Wuhui finished speaking, he heard a familiar voice from behind.

"Didn't Iron Sword Crazy Lion tell you how he died?" Shi Feng arrived behind Fengyun Wuhui with a Silent Steps and sneered.
