Su Hang was taken aback for a moment, then he pushed Su Xi behind him. A group of people, accompanied by several black-furred hunting dogs, rushed out from the forest.
They were all unfamiliar faces, none of whom he recognized. Moreover, from their attire, they were definitely not local villagers. Apart from the leading man in black with one arm, the other three were carrying hunting rifles.
Poachers?
Seeing this group, Su Hang frowned. Only poachers would dress like this. Villagers knew what they could hunt and what they couldn't. However, these poachers had no restraint, and the villagers, including Su Hang, detested them.
The group looked fierce and menacing. Judging by their demeanor, they were not good people. Su Xi was a bit scared and hid behind Su Hang, who did not act rashly.
The three hunting dogs circled the remains of the wild chicken, which had been reduced to just feathers by the little golden pig. Suddenly, they lay down and started barking wildly.
The one-armed man's icy eyes instantly lit up. If all three dogs were reacting like this, they must have found something.
He walked over and examined the remains of the wild chicken. Then, he raised his head and his gaze fell on Su Hang and his sister.
"Boy, come here," a middle-aged man holding a dog called out to Su Hang. His tone was completely commanding.
Su Hang didn't move. He stuffed Xiao Gang into his pocket, picked up the basket on the ground, slung it over his shoulder, and turned around, leading his sister away without a word.
He was actually ignored!
The middle-aged man immediately got angry. Someone in this small mountain village dared to ignore his orders, which was simply outrageous. "Boy, stop right there! Take another step, and I'll shoot you!"
He didn't stop!
"Damn it!" The middle-aged man cursed and raised his hunting rifle.
However, he was held back by the one-armed man. The middle-aged man had no choice but to step back reluctantly. The one-armed man pondered for a moment. "Young man, stay and talk for a bit!"
"Brother!" Su Xi gently tugged at Su Hang's hand.
Su Hang stopped, turned around, and looked at the one-armed man. "I don't think we have anything to talk about, do we?"

Su Hang had already scanned the one-armed man's information. A 7th Rank Martial Student, he must have some background. Moreover, these people didn't seem to be good sorts, and Su Hang didn't want to get involved with them.
Leng Feng's pale, zombie-like face didn't change. "Young man, let's be straightforward. You're young and already a Martial Student, so you must have some background. Did you catch that little thing? If so, please hand it over, and we might become friends."
"Little thing?"
Su Hang paused. Could these people be looking for the little golden pig?
Judging by Leng Feng's appearance, it seemed likely!
"Sorry, I don't know what you're talking about," Su Hang shook his head. Once something was in his hands, he wouldn't give it up. A 7th Rank Martial Student would have intimidated him a few days ago, but now that he had also broken through to the Martial Student realm, he wasn't afraid of this man.
If it came to a fight, Su Hang didn't think he would lose.
"Young man, if you say that, it's not very interesting," Leng Feng said coldly, without anger.
The three hunting dogs had found something, which was enough to prove that what he was looking for had left a scent here. And there were only these two young people here, one of whom was a Martial Student. Leng Feng didn't believe Su Hang knew nothing.
"I'm telling the truth, believe it or not," Su Hang said directly. He didn't want to deal with these people, especially with his sister by his side.
Seeing Su Hang about to leave, Leng Feng's voice suddenly rose several decibels. "I am Leng Feng, a disciple of the Wu Fu Sect and a guest of the Qinglong Society in Leshan. Young man, it's best to tell me everything, or else..."
"Or else what?"
Su Hang frowned. He had never heard of the Wu Fu Sect or the Qinglong Society. A Martial Student being a guest of a sect suggested it wasn't a significant force.
"Hmph!"
A slight curve appeared on Leng Feng's cold face. "You're not my match. In this deep forest, I can't guarantee what might happen. That little girl is your sister, right? She's quite a looker..."
Su Xi, upon hearing this, hid behind Su Hang, finding a bit of security only there.
"Are you looking for a fight?"
Su Hang's eyes flashed with intense killing intent. Leng Feng's words had touched his底线 (底线 means "bottom line" or "limits"). As Leng Feng said, if they were in a big city, he wouldn't dare kill openly, but here in the deep forest, if these people crossed his limits, he wouldn't hesitate to deal with them.
"Hey, boy, you've got some nerve. Are you challenging Mr. Leng?" One of the middle-aged men holding a dog couldn't help but sneer at Su Hang's words.
"Who do you think you are, daring to challenge Mr. Leng? You're just asking for death."
"Watch your tongue!"
The other two laughed, clearly confident in Mr. Leng's strength.
Su Hang smiled, ignoring these fools, and looked directly at Leng Feng. "Beat me, and I'll tell you where the thing you're looking for is."
How arrogant, truly arrogant!
"You do know."
Leng Feng's heart was set. A hint of ferocity flashed in his eyes. "I don't have time to play with you. You three, grab that little girl."
Leng Feng was a decisive person. He didn't want to complicate things that could be solved simply. This boy dared to challenge him, so he must have some skills. With his strength, he could restrain Su Hang while his subordinates captured his sister. Then, no matter how skilled Su Hang was, he wouldn't dare to withhold the truth.
The three men, upon hearing this, threw their dog leashes and walked straight toward Su Hang, rifles in hand. What did they have to fear with guns?
Leng Feng watched calmly from the side. In his view, these three men were no match for a Martial Student, but if Su Hang made any move, he would act immediately.
Although Su Hang was sure they wouldn't shoot, he hated being threatened with guns, especially with his sister behind him. He formed a hand seal and was about to use the Thousand-Year Kill to deal with these three. With the speed of the Thousand-Year Kill, he was confident he could cripple them before Leng Feng could act.
