The scene before him had shattered One-Eyed Dragon’s understanding of reality. He had never imagined that a person’s strength could reach such a terrifying level.
His gaze contracted, his pupils shrinking as he stared at the man’s face, an expression of utter terror dawning upon him.
“Who exactly are you? We have no enmity between us, why are you suddenly targeting us?”
Mu Feng smiled faintly. “You’re right, we have no enmity between us. So why did you attack me first, and in such a rude manner, having those weapons pointed at me? I detest it when people point weapons at me.”
“So I couldn’t help myself and sent them straight to the underworld to meet King Yama.”
“If you keep holding that weapon, you might not have a good outcome either.”
One-Eyed Dragon dropped the weapon in his hand to the side, the fear in his eyes intensifying.
He knew he had truly encountered a master today, and this master didn’t bother with reason. Moreover, he wasn’t the one in charge here, just a leader responsible for manual labor.
Only when ordinary people couldn’t handle matters did they seek out those masters. Those masters hated being disturbed. If those people knew he was the only ordinary person left on the ship, they would probably kill him.
At this moment, his face was etched with a desperation to weep. “Our masters are in the cabin. If you want to see him, you can go down…”
However, before he could finish speaking, Mu Feng grabbed him by the neck and walked towards the deck, a faint smile appearing on his face.
“I already told you to take me down. If you don’t, I can break your neck right now.”
“After all, everyone is on this ship. They can’t jump overboard to escape, and they can’t hide from our ears.”
“If you’re unwilling to cooperate, I don’t mind sending you to meet King Yama first.”
Hearing this, One-Eyed Dragon dared not utter a single word of refusal. He couldn’t shake his head, so he could only blink frantically.
Mu Feng released his grip with a smile.
One-Eyed Dragon gasped for air, his pupils wide with extreme fear. “If you go now, I’ll immediately take you to our masters.”
“Our masters are all on the ship. They’re probably playing right now. If you disturb them at this time, it might upset them greatly. I estimate there might be a conflict between you. I hope you’ll be sensible.”
Mu Feng turned around with a cold laugh. “Do I need you to tell me how to do things?”
One-Eyed Dragon shook his head like a rattle drum. “I didn’t mean that. I just thought that if you killed them all, it would be useless if you couldn’t get more information. We’re just ordinary boatmen. I haven’t done anything wicked.”
“They are the truly powerful ones. They are forcing us to do wicked things. I’ve also seen many people tortured to death by them.”
“And those guys are truly ruthless. They can even use living people…”
He suddenly stopped mid-sentence as he saw someone walking up from below the deck. This person was one of their masters.
One-Eyed Dragon’s eyes lit up with surprise, but he said nothing. He knew he was just a small fry now. Those true masters were like gods fighting, and any stray ripple could kill him.
Mu Feng’s gaze also turned. A faint smile appeared on his face. “Since someone has come up, your role is now redundant.”
“When you’re reborn, remember to be more honest with your lies. If people like you are boatmen, then there are no ordinary people in this world.”
Just as One-Eyed Dragon was about to say something, he felt something thrown at him. As the thought of dodging in anger arose in his heart, he felt a coolness on his forehead. He instinctively reached up to touch it and felt a drop of blood. Immediately, his body deflated like a leaky balloon.
He couldn’t stop the blood from flowing, his strength draining rapidly. As he fell, he only saw Mu Feng’s back.
At this moment, he regretted why he had embarked on this path of no return.
And in this world, there was never any medicine for regret. The moment Mu Feng saw them, he had already sensed the bloodthirsty aura emanating from them. This was a sign of those whose hands were stained with blood.
When he saw those people, he had no intention of letting them live.
And now that he had found more powerful masters, he naturally no longer needed One-Eyed Dragon to lead the way.
The master appeared to be in his early thirties. His gaze was filled with confusion as he looked at Mu Feng. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly twitched his nose and his eyes snapped to the fallen One-Eyed Dragon.
His expression changed. Within his coarse robe, internal energy began to surge rapidly.
“Who are you?”
“Why are you on the ship? Who sent you? And what is your purpose?”
Mu Feng’s smile grew even more pronounced. “What I want to know now is whether you are merely responsible for transporting goods, or if this ship is used to cultivate warriors for your service?”
The moment he saw the young man before him, he had sensed that the other party did not have the parasitic insects he had encountered before. Clearly, this person was not controlled by anyone.
Asking this guy was much better than asking that One-Eyed Dragon.
The young man gritted his teeth and slowly took a few steps back. The person before him gave him an extremely dangerous feeling, a keen intuition he trusted implicitly.
Furthermore, looking at the man’s gaze, although it was very calm, he couldn't sense any fluctuation of internal energy from him. However, that extreme sense of danger felt as if his heart were being clutched tightly.
“Who exactly are you? Answer my questions, or you won’t be leaving here today.”
Mu Feng’s lips curved into a slight arc. “You are not yet worthy of knowing my name. Have all your masters on this ship come out? You are no match for me. I want to see how powerful your masters are.”
“How can ordinary people fear you so much? To them, you are like gods.”
“I’d like to see how you’re playing these tricks.”
Hearing this, the young man did not hesitate and directly took out his walkie-talkie.
“There’s trouble. Get to the deck immediately.”
