Chapter 338: Chapter 335: The Beautiful Elf Clan Young… Brother
“No!”
The middle-aged man’s face showed a plea for mercy, “I beg you, please let me go. I have a beautiful wife and a lovely daughter at home, they can’t lose me.”
Qin Feng sneered, “So you have a wife and daughter? Haven’t you ever thought about what kind of life those little girls you’ve taken away will face?
Have you ever considered what fate your own daughter would meet if she were captured and sold to those disgusting fellows?”
“You…”
The middle-aged man’s complexion changed drastically, “How do you know?”
…
He was baffled.
Their operation was so secretive, and the carriage was even cloaked in magic restrictions, disguised with other goods on the outside—it shouldn’t have been discovered by anyone.
If they were indeed discovered, they would be facing a relentless chase by the various tribes of the southern region, not just one man before them!
However, he didn’t wait for Qin Feng to reply, even the expressions on his face were deliberately feigned, all to confuse Qin Feng and conceal his sneak attack.
From the beginning, he never truly considered entrusting his fate to Qin Feng’s decision.
As a leader of a slave-catching group that roamed the southern region for years, exchanging lives for wealth, he had always been the epitome of cunning, ruthless deceit—how could he possibly allow others to determine his fate.
At this moment, the hand he had kept hidden behind him finally came out, and he raised an odd-looking magic crossbow to shoot at Qin Feng.

Whoosh!
The arrow shadow flashed like lightning, too swift for Qin Feng to dodge at such close range.
Qin Feng was greatly surprised.
To be honest, he had become aware of the middle-aged man quietly taking out the magic crossbow while pleading—after all, with his keen Divine Sense, it was impossible not to sense a warrior extracting magic equipment.
But he hadn’t taken the crossbow too seriously. In his view, this person was certainly no match for him, which was why he spoke so fearlessly with the middle-aged man, allowing him a moment to perform.
However, seeing the magic crossbow arrow shot at such incredible speed, he was somewhat startled and hastily marshaled his Ruyi Golden Light for defense.
In an instant, a massive amount of Ruyi Golden Light congregated in front of his chest, making it shine with golden radiance.
Bang!
A sound of metal clashing rang out, and Qin Feng’s figure was flung back five or six steps before he staggered to a stop.
“Huff…”
With heart still racing, Qin Feng let out a breath and took the crossbow arrow wrapped in Ruyi Golden Light into his hands for inspection.
The crossbow arrow was made from expensive magic metal, valuable in its own right, with the arrowhead incorporating some refined gold, affording it more potent penetration and demon-breaking power.
Unfortunately, it had met his Ruyi Golden Light.
The Ruyi Golden Light, ever-changing at will, became harder than refined gold when accumulated.
Nevertheless, the experience reminded him to be more cautious in the future. If the power of the middle-aged man’s crossbow was any stronger, he might have been pierced through the heart by an arrow.
Though his current Golden Core Realm cultivation and the powerful Azure Dragon Daoist Body could briefly lock the life force within his body to prevent it from fading away, enabling him to gradually heal with his Healing Divine Power, the pain would be unavoidable.
He looked up at the middle-aged man and snorted coldly, “The Demon Crossbow’s power isn’t bad, but if this is all you’ve got, you might as well die!”
“How is that possible?”
The middle-aged man’s eyes widened in disbelief at Qin Feng, “The Demon Crossbow failed to kill you? This is a crossbow powered by the Demon Core of a level 8 high-tier Thorny Dragon, and you managed to block it?”
“Hmph, next time you’d better switch to a level 9 Giant Dragon’s Demon Core; only then, with my current level of cultivation, might I possibly be pierced by it.”
Qin Feng snorted, “But, you probably won’t have another chance.”
As he spoke, he beckoned with his hand, and the Sky Battle Halberd flew back into his grasp.
“Ah… I’m going all out with you!”
Knowing he couldn’t escape, the middle-aged man threw aside his magic crossbow and swung his broadsword towards Qin Feng.
At this moment, he pushed his Fighting Energy to the extreme, slashing out dozens of crescent-shaped Fighting Energy Slashes that formed a dense wave of energy in front of Qin Feng.
Qin Feng wielded the Sky Battle Halberd like the wind, standing firm without taking a single step back, parrying all the slashes. Then, he stepped forward and thrust the Big Spear like an unyielding Azure Dragon towards the middle-aged man’s torso.
Golden Warriors were capable of matching the Gang Qi of common Golden Core Cultivators in strength, but Qin Feng was different. He was not a common cultivator; he was a gifted disciple of the Beast Taming Sect, possessing abundant Divine Skills and having attained the Azure Dragon Daoist Body, far superior in strength and war skills compared to his opponent.
Moreover, he was wielding a Divine Weapon.
Bang bang bang…
The middle-aged man desperately parried Qin Feng’s Sky Battle Halberd with his broadsword, but after only seven or eight strikes, his broadsword turned into a serrated one and was severed, along with his torso, beneath Qin Feng’s merciless strike.
“His his…”
A few wheezing breaths escaped the middle-aged man, similar to a bellows; he wanted to ask Qin Feng what kind of weapon he was wielding that was so formidable.
However, with the blade of the halberd and the Crescent Blade being so wide, after it pierced him, almost his entire torso was split in two, leaving him unable to utter another word.
Then, the light faded from his eyes as he fell to the ground, kicking up a bit of dust.
Qin Feng shook the Sky Battle Halberd slightly, flicking a drop of fresh blood from the blade onto the ground.
After sheathing the halberd, Qin Feng stepped forward and took off the Space Ring from the middle-aged man’s hand and picked up the magic crossbow he had discarded.
While the power of the crossbow wasn’t enough to harm him, it was still a rather fine piece of magic equipment. If used against a common Golden Core Cultivator, it might even hurt the opponent, and it was a cut above the Attack Power of the Mechanical Box he had once collected.
He decided to keep it for now, knowing that even if he couldn’t use it himself, he could bring it back to his family, adding to their foundation.
With the death of the middle-aged man, the members of the slave-catching group who were being slaughtered by the Fire Ape and the Swallowing Sky Toad instantly couldn’t hold on any longer. Screaming in terror, they scattered and fled.
However, aside from a few who escaped into the woods and evaded the pursuit of the Swallowing Sky Toad and Fire Ape, the rest of the slave-catchers were obliterated by the two Great Demons.
Qin Feng swept his Divine Sense over the battlefield and casually collected a few Magic Equipments from several Golden Warriors and that Magic Guide Master before he stopped bothering with the rest.
Now, with his standards, ordinary things no longer caught his eye.
He stepped toward the caravan of over a hundred wagons at the rear.
There were many carts, and most of them were indeed filled with all sorts of goods.
Actually, Qin Feng was perplexed; just by these goods alone, they would’ve made a fortune upon returning, so why were these people so greedy, insisting on capturing those young girls?
If it hadn’t been like this, he certainly would not have acted so fiercely, nor would he have allowed all these people to die here.
Qin Feng withdrew the Soul Devouring Vine Demon and the Fire Ape, only habitually holding the Swallowing Sky Toad in his hand.
He walked slowly past the carts when from the tenth wagon onward, his Ruyi Golden Light Slash broke through the cart walls, severing the chains binding the girls.
By the time he reached the last cart hiding girls, all of them had already struggled out of the wagons.
They had felt the clashing sounds from outside earlier and initially thought that the tribes had discovered something wrong and had come to rescue them.
But once they crawled out of the wagons and saw the scene outside, they were instantly taken aback.
Among the corpses scattered everywhere, there stood only a handsome youth.
Could it be that this young man had saved them all by himself?
They found it somewhat unbelievable since Qin Feng was only a few years older than them, and among them, there were even older girls from the Alien Race, who might not even be younger than Qin Feng in terms of age.
And for the girls from the Elf Clan, due to their much longer lifespans, their ages were certainly several times that of Qin Feng, otherwise they wouldn’t have grown so much.
“Big brother, was it you who saved us all by yourself?”
One of the little girls from the Demon Clan, with a pair of beautiful butterfly wings on her back, bit her finger and looked up at Qin Feng with curious and innocent big eyes.
Qin Feng glanced at her and nodded slightly.
Then, looking at the crowd of little girls with childish faces before him, he felt a bit overwhelmed.
He didn’t have the time to escort these little girls back to their homes, and besides, it wasn’t certain that they still had homes to return to. Perhaps some of their tribes had been wiped out by the Slave Catching Groups, and they may need to rely on other tribes of their kind to survive in the future.
An elf girl with long loose hair, who seemed about eleven or twelve years old, stepped forward. She had a determined look on her face that made her appear much stronger than the other girls.
She asked, “Big brother, which clan are you from? We will repay you in the future.”
Qin Feng shook his head: “Little sister, I don’t need your repayment.”
“I am a male, not a little sister!”
“Err…”
Qin Feng was startled, taking a closer look at the other’s beautiful and delicate face and their slender, tall figure. Even after being told the other was a boy, Qin Feng couldn’t discern the gender from the appearance alone.
The corner of his mouth twitched.
No wonder they were captured; such an appearance was indeed too ambiguous.
Even though the entire Elf Clan was full of handsome men and beautiful women, for a boy to be this beautiful was a bit exasperating.
And this little boy had not yet undergone voice change; even his voice gave away no discernible difference.
He shook his head and did not reveal that he was of the Human Clan.
Because he was different from the human race of this realm.
He was also worried that by saying he was human, these young girls from alien races might feel that there are good people among humans and continue to trust those merchants coming here to do business. It could lead to them permitting those characters into their tribes and possibly suffering further harm.
So, he did not respond, instead saying, “If you keep going from here, there is a town five or six miles away. Go there and ask for help. I have seen people of your race there before, and I think they will not ignore you.”
Then he said to the little boy and a few slightly older girls, “You who are older, hurry and take them away. With so many dead here, it might soon attract Demon Beasts. It will be dangerous when that happens.
However, Demon Beasts only consume flesh and will not touch these wagons and goods. You can find people in the town to transport these goods back, and take it as payment for them to look after you or send you back to your respective tribes.”
“Big brother, you must be very powerful.”
The Elf Youth said to Qin Feng, “If you are willing to take us back, my family will surely offer a reward that will satisfy you. You can ask for anything you want.”
Qin Feng looked at him and smiled, “From your tone, could it be that you are from the royal family of the Elf Clan?”
The Elf Youth’s face became rigid, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, “I indeed come from the Elf Capital, the City of Morning Light—I just met with an accident along the way and got caught by those abhorrent Slave Catchers.”
“Hmm? Actually a royal family member?”
Qin Feng was somewhat surprised, then smiled and casually tossed two Magic Rings he had taken from the Magic Guide Master into the hands of the Elf Youth, “I have other matters and no time to send you back. Keep this for protection, hurry and leave; it’s not safe here.”
Indeed it wasn’t safe, as there were already low-level Demon Beasts lured here by the scent of blood from the forests.
But seeing there were people around, they did not dare to rush out and were lingering on the edge of the woods.
The Elf Youth felt the Magic Rings in his hand, realizing they were two high-level Magic Equipments, and his confidence grew considerably.
With his magic talent, merely activating these two Magic Equipments wasn’t a problem, and with two level seven magic spells for protection along with the trump card he hadn’t used, even if he encountered a Golden Warrior, he might have a chance to launch a sneak attack.
“Since big brother doesn’t wish to escort us, we won’t insist.”
The Elf Youth said, “My name is Dean. If you ever come to the Elf Forest, you can look for me in the Royal City.”
“Alright,”
Qin Feng smiled, “My name is Qin Feng. You can remember my name; I will surely visit the Elf Forest in the future.”
He then waved his hand, “Go on now.”
The Elf Youth gracefully bowed to him and, along with a few of the older girls from the Alien Race, took care of the younger girls and left.
Qin Feng watched them go off into the distance and then chuckled softly to himself as he quietly followed behind them.
