Chapter 17 Prey Appears



"How much does this piece of lava iron cost?"

Lin Hao thought it would be better to ask a price first, otherwise it would be embarrassing if he couldn't pay the fee tomorrow.

"Ten thousand, plus two thousand for labor costs."

Hearing the price offered by the dwarf blacksmith, Lin Hao took a deep breath.

Such a small piece of lava iron costs ten thousand taels!

If you want to forge a long sword, wouldn't it cost hundreds of thousands?

"Okay, price is not the problem, quality is the main issue."

Although it seems very expensive, I have to keep it stable for the sake of face.

As he said this, Lin Hao took out five thousand taels as a deposit.

"Haha, after searching so many weapon refineries, I finally found it!"

Just then, an excited voice was heard.

A young man in brocade clothes walked in, staring at the lava iron in the dwarf blacksmith's hand with burning eyes.

Behind the young man in brocade clothes followed two of his men.

One of them had a long sword on his back, and his eyes were as sharp as the sword's edge.

"Ma Feiyu!"

With the help of Kung Fu Xiaoying's vision, Lin Hao's heart trembled slightly, and he immediately recognized the appearance of the young man in brocade clothes.

It was the prey in the portrait on the mission list, Ma Feiyu.

And the middle-aged man carrying a long sword was undoubtedly Ma Feiyu's follower.

A kendo master with the strength of a fourth-level warrior, Li Kun!

“This guy is very strong.”

Lin Hao's heart sank slightly. He stared at Li Kun and couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

It seems that it is not easy to assassinate Ma Feiyu.

As for the other young subordinate next to him, he is just a minion of a first-level warrior and is nothing to be afraid of.

"Boss, I want this piece of lava iron. Please name your price."

As soon as Ma Feiyu came in, he said arrogantly: "Then make me a ring."

The dwarf blacksmith shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, this piece of lava iron, the only one left in our store, has just been reserved by this guest."

Hearing this, Ma Feiyu turned his gaze to Lin Hao and looked at him curiously.

Since Lin Hao was wearing a black cloak and a mask at the moment, it was hard to tell anything from his appearance.

However, Ma Feiyu was obviously more cautious about this mysterious person of unknown origin.

"My friend, my name is Ma Feiyu, and I am from the Ma family in Qingyang Town."

Ma Feiyu first introduced his background, then smiled and said: "I am in need of a piece of lava fine iron. If you are willing to transfer it, I will definitely give you a satisfactory price!"

Lin Hao was not moved by his words at all, and said calmly: "Not for sale."

"Boy, it's your good fortune that my Second Young Master likes your things, don't be ungrateful!"

Seeing Lin Hao's refusal, the subordinate next to Ma Feiyu suddenly stood up and shouted angrily.

"Xiaowu, please be polite. He is still considering it."

Ma Feiyu waved his hands, a sinister smile appeared on his face, and he scolded his men.

"This friend, you say so, right?"

He looked at Lin Hao again, and the smile on his face made people feel like a smiling tiger.

"Since you are sincere about buying it, it is not impossible."

Staring at Ma Feiyu, Lin Hao also said with a smile.

Hearing this, Ma Feiyu's eyes flickered, and he said in surprise: "Okay, that's straightforward."

"The transfer price is one million taels."

However, Lin Hao's next words made the surprise on Ma Feiyu's face, as well as the smile on his face, freeze in an instant.

"What? One million taels?!"

That subordinate reacted most violently, staring at Lin Hao as if he were a lunatic.

One million taels, at this price, you can buy an amount many times larger than this piece of lava iron!

The swordsman Li Kun remained silent, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

As long as the young master's life is not endangered, he will not act rashly.

"Boy, don't refuse a toast and drink a forfeit."

Staring at Lin Hao, Ma Feiyu's face darkened slightly, and there was a chill in his voice.

One million taels, this price is obviously a joke. Do they think I’m a fool?

"If you think it's expensive, forget it."

Lin Hao had no intention of selling at all, so he took a step forward, trying to bypass Ma Feiyu and walk towards the store door.

However, at this time, the subordinate with a hooked nose next to Ma Feiyu stood in front of Lin Hao.

"We haven't agreed on the price yet. You can't leave this door."

The hook-nosed man looked arrogant and stared at Lin Hao, threatening him.

As the voice fell, he suddenly clenched his fist and hit Lin Hao.

"roll!"

However, Lin Hao's speed was much faster. He raised his foot suddenly and kicked the opponent away.

The hook-nosed man's body happened to hit the stove behind him and he was burned so much that he screamed in pain.

"If you beat a dog, you have to look at the owner first. It's like you're seeking death!"

Seeing his men being beaten, Ma Feiyu's eyes flashed coldly, and his palms formed into eagle claws, grabbing Lin Hao's throat fiercely.

At such a close distance, he didn't believe Lin Hao could escape.

boom--!

However, at this moment, a powerful mental force suddenly burst out from Lin Hao.

This mental power instantly condensed into an invisible barrier, directly blocking Ma Feiyu, as if he was stuck in a quagmire, unable to move forward even a single step.

"Mage!"

Ma Feiyu's expression changed drastically, and a look of horror appeared in his eyes.

He is a level 2 warrior, and to be able to use mental power to intercept him requires the strength of at least a level 2 magician.

Little did people know that although Lin Hao's current cultivation level is that of a first-level mage, the concentration of his mental power is already close to that of a second-level mage.

Just one step away from a breakthrough.

call out--!

Suddenly, a sword light flashed by.

The mental barrier that bound Ma Feiyu was instantly torn apart.

The person who drew the sword was Li Kun.

Ma Feiyu suddenly felt his body lighten and he quickly stepped back and stood beside Li Kun.

Facing a second-level mage, as a warrior, even if he wins by chance, he will have to pay a huge price.

"Old Li, cut off his hands, and then I'll see how he can perform magic."

Ma Feiyu gave the order with a sinister look on his face.

Li Kun nodded indifferently, and the long sword in his hand, infused with spiritual power, emitted a sharp sword energy that instantly locked onto Lin Hao's body.

Feeling this powerful aura, Lin Hao felt a sense of solemnity in his heart.

There is a big gap between his current cultivation level and that of a level 4 warrior, and his opponent is a swordsman, making him extremely dangerous.

However, it is not so easy to kill both of us!

“Swish!”

Without any nonsense, Li Kun rushed out suddenly and stabbed Lin Hao with the tip of his sword.

But at the moment he drew his sword, Li Kun felt a sense of crisis in his heart.

Because, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a ray of light rushing towards him from the side.

Its speed is so fast that it carries a fierce momentum.

The target of the attack seemed to be his right hand holding the sword.

At this critical moment, Li Kun instantly determined that if this sword stabbed at Lin Hao, then his palm would most likely be damaged.

The swordsman lost his hands, which was undoubtedly a fatal blow.

Immediately, Li Kun quickly put away his sword, and then slashed at the edge at a tricky angle.

“clang!”

In an instant, there was a sound like the clashing of metal.

“Is this… a fly?!”

Li Kun took a closer look and was shocked to find that the one fighting with him was actually a small fly.

If you look closely, you will see that the fly's claws are holding an iron needle, about as thick as a little finger.
