Upon hearing the talk of this so-called "golden bloodline," Shen Feng's face immediately showed a mocking expression. He looked at the group before him and asked, "Is this your reason for wantonly trampling on others' dignity? Do you think you are superior?"
"Of course. I assume you are also from China and understand the order of seniority. Such things as bloodline inheritance are passed down through generations. Especially now, at the end of the world, after the leader has had his way with your women, he certainly won't want them anymore. He'll just give them back to you. Don't be ungrateful!" the woman said aggressively. Her tone suggested she deeply believed in this golden bloodline.
Shen Feng took a deep breath and looked at the woman who had stepped forward. "Are you from China?" he asked.
"Of course, is there any doubt?" the woman replied directly.
"If you are from China, then don't grovel before foreigners. Straighten your back. Now, your own people are being bullied, and you're not trying to reason with the outsiders, but instead urging your own people to calm down, to endure humiliation. This is not something a Chinese person would do!" Shen Feng stated directly.
Upon hearing Shen Feng's words, the woman scoffed, "Who are you calling 'our own people'? What is your status? This is the grassland, where the leaders call the shots. In the future, these leaders will be powerful figures. I'll be living lavishly with them. And you? You look like refugees. Who would associate with you?"
Shen Feng was truly angered now. Not only were his own people being bullied, but this woman was also chattering away, spouting a lot of reasoning, none of which held any water.
Shen Feng, too lazy to waste more words, said loudly, "Attack! Capture them alive!"
As Shen Feng gave the order, Xu Xing, filled with shame and indignation, stomped her foot on the ground. Instantly, the entire forest began to shake, and everyone lost their footing, swaying. Shen Feng, meanwhile, vanished.
Shen Feng's movements had surpassed the range of human sight. He swung his long sword continuously, severing five or six arms in almost an instant.
After Shen Feng said "attack," the enemies also moved swiftly. They were firing their guns, targeting the three people on Shen Feng's side. It seemed that killing was not a big deal to them, given their "golden bloodline."
"Da da da..." Bullets were fired incessantly. Lu Xian had long anticipated the enemy's movements. When the enemies attacked, he immediately dodged to the side and threw his long saber. With a "swish," one person was instantly impaled through the chest by the saber.
On Qi Lingshan's side, although he did not charge forward to fight directly, he unleashed his ability. A stream of liquid nitrogen flowed out of the air, and upon reaching the enemies, it instantly froze them.
In just three minutes, all the attackers had their limbs broken, making it impossible for them to fire their guns.
The woman who had been speaking so arrogantly was now completely stunned. She had never expected the situation to turn out this way. The other party was comprised entirely of legendary ability users. All her companions had fallen. How could this happen?
Xu Xing walked behind Shen Feng and said aggrievedly, "Brother Shen Feng, please get justice for me. They are all scoundrels!"
Shen Feng was not blind. He saw the corpses lying on the ground. The underwear clutched in the hand of one of the men was clearly Xu Xing's. It seemed these people, seeing Xu Xing young and beautiful, and washing herself alone in the forest, had been overcome by lust. Xu Xing, although unarmed, was an ability user. She had immediately acted, directly killing the pervert with a shockwave. However, in her panic, she had let out a scream, which had attracted Shen Feng and his two companions.
"It's alright now. From now on, just watch how we deal with these people. You go back to the car and rest. We'll handle this," Shen Feng said calmly.
Shen Feng had known Xu Xing for a long time. In fact, Xu Xing was Shen Feng's savior. When Shen Feng was ringing the bell at a temple, he had been exhausted and surrounded by zombies. Fortunately, Xu Xing had thrown down a rope from upstairs, allowing Shen Feng to escape. Shen Feng regarded Xu Xing as a sister.
But now, Xu Xing had been bullied. Shen Feng could not tolerate it. He looked at the culprits with icy eyes, remaining silent. The men whose limbs had been broken were still writhing on the ground.
The woman who had spoken earlier quickly pleaded in a trembling voice, "Mercy, good sirs, we did not intend to provoke you."
Shen Feng ignored the woman and simply gestured to Qi Lingshan. "Grab one and kill him! I want to see if the so-called golden bloodline truly has gold flowing in their veins. I want to see how remarkable the descendants of Genghis Khan are!"
Qi Lingshan did not hesitate. He grabbed a man whose hands had been broken and whose feet were frozen into blocks of ice, and with a swift stroke, ended his life. Blood immediately flowed out, a vibrant red, like a red flag.
"City Lord, it's red, the same color as pigs and dogs," Qi Lingshan said with a smile.
Shen Feng looked confused and asked the woman who had been shouting earlier, "Now, can you explain to me why the so-called golden bloodline is red at this moment?"
The woman's face crumpled as she explained, "Good sirs, 'golden bloodline' is a metaphor, used to describe descendants of royalty or nobility. It doesn't mean there's actual gold flowing in their veins."
"Is that so? It's all blood. Then why are some people noble? And you, you aided the wicked, you are the most detestable. Now, choose your own death. Given that we are all Chinese, I can let you choose the manner of your death." Shen Feng said coldly.
Compared to outright villains, Shen Feng hated those sycophants the most. They had no real strength but only knew how to act important, yet in reality, they were all arrogant. Often, these were the very people who bullied their own countrymen the most.
The woman immediately cried, "Good sirs, spare me! I am absolutely not with them! I was forced into this. I can report them, I can expose them. These people have committed many evil deeds and have killed many. I can be an informant!"
"At this point, the law is useless. What good is your reporting and exposing? You're just trying to absolve yourself, aren't you? A clever calculation." Shen Feng said with a cold smile.
"City Lord, why waste so much time talking to them? Kill them all and throw their bodies into the wilderness to feed the wolves. These curs, I wonder if their stomachs will turn bad after being eaten by wolves," Qi Lingshan said directly, showing no intention of further discussion.
Shen Feng looked at the group of people and asked, "Where did you come from? Aren't you the golden bloodline? Does the golden bloodline only engage in kidnapping women? Genghis Khan was mighty, that was his ability. You people, like dogs, dare to commit evil in the name of Genghis Khan?"
To save her life, the woman knelt at Shen Feng's feet and explained, "They escaped from Ulaanbaatar. Two days ago, wolves surrounded the city. They fled when the wolf pack was not too large. I followed them out at that time."
Upon receiving this answer, Shen Feng showed an expression of no surprise. As expected, these guys were escapees from Ulaanbaatar. The golden bloodline, when faced with danger, could only flee.
"Alright, I know now. You can choose your own way to die. I suggest you choose to freeze to death. I have someone who can do that easily. You won't feel any pain then," Shen Feng said with a smile.
The woman was filled with regret. She never imagined she would provoke ability users, and worse, the other party was smiling as he offered her a choice of death. Only a demon could utter such terrifying words.
But it was too late for regret now. Adults had to pay the price for their decisions. For this woman, the moment she uttered the words "not our own people," her death sentence was sealed.
"Good sir, don't kill me! I can work for you. I can do anything, laundry, cooking, translation, even warm your bed. Don't kill me, I'm only twenty-seven years old," the woman pleaded.
"Pfft," at this moment, a hole was opened directly in the crown of the woman's head. A gust of wind ended her life.
Shen Feng shook his head and sighed, "In the future, don't be reborn in China, because the outcome will be dire."
Of course, Shen Feng was just speaking casually. He was a materialist and did not believe in reincarnation or such nonsense. He was also filled with hatred for the actions of collaborators. When foreigners committed evil, they not only failed to speak up righteously but also kicked people when they were down, their subservient demeanor was truly disgusting.
Lu Xian asked, "What about these people? Should we behead them, throw them into the water? Or throw them into the wilderness to feed the wolves? They can't escape in their current state anyway."
At this point, these men who had been driven by lust had their hands and feet broken. To move in such a state was an absolute fantasy. Lu Xian thought that a quick death with a sword would be too merciful. It would be better to throw them into the wilderness to feed the wolves; at least they could contribute to the ecosystem.
Shen Feng said calmly, "I don't like prolonged affairs. So, you two decide. Let the so-called golden bloodline disappear!"
With that, Shen Feng left the forest. Qi Lingshan shrugged and said, "Watch my performance!"
Then, Qi Lingshan began to unleash his abilities. Liquid nitrogen poured down, instantly freezing upon contact with the ground. Even from a distance, Lu Xian could feel the cold. The criminals present were all frozen into ice sculptures. They died in agony, cursing until their last breath, forgetting to reflect on their own mistakes. This was not good. Unlike Chinese people, even when others made mistakes, they did not forget to reflect on themselves.
Back in the car, Xu Xing had also calmed down. She put on her clothes again, looking refreshed. She held a long saber, drawing and wiping it, seemingly eager to fight. In the previous situation, Xu Xing had been overly tense. If Xu Xing had actually fought, thirty people would not have been enough to stop her. However, this was the first time she had encountered such a situation, so she had panicked, only thinking of seeking help. This was a typical lack of courage.
After Shen Feng returned from the forest, he said to Xu Xing, "It's alright now. We've avenged you. But don't panic like that next time."
Xu Xing nodded quickly and said, "I understand. I will remain calm in the future."
Lake Baikal was still clear. The lake water seemed to purify the soul. Shen Feng caught a bucket of fish and began to roast them. However, as evening approached, the sky began to change. Dark clouds gathered, and a cold wind howled. Dust and stones flew across the ground, and dark clouds appeared on the horizon. Seeing this state, traveling was out of the question.
"Let's find a place to rest again. It looks like it's going to rain," Shen Feng said to everyone.
However, things were not as Shen Feng expected. What fell from the sky was not rain, but heavy snow. In ten minutes, the ground was already covered in white. The four of them set up tents in the forest, finding a place sheltered from the wind to rest.
