# Chapter 283: Kill First, Talk Later
The dazzling true essence sword light seized the brilliance of heaven and earth, containing endless sharpness, destructive intent, and battle will.
A sword. Used for killing. A weapon of destruction.
Vulture's face showed terror as his lightning true essence blasted toward the descending sword. Crackling sounds rang out continuously as strands of dazzling lightning wrapped around the true essence sword, incredibly brilliant.
But the lightning true essence could not stop the unstoppable sharpness. The sword in Lin Feng's hand continued downward, severing everything. Sizzling sounds echoed as the lightning true essence was split apart, the wild true essence force scattering to both sides, filled with destructive aura.
"Demon Fire, I don't want it anymore."
Vulture roared loudly. This true essence sword, he could not block. If Lin Feng did not withdraw his hand, he could truly kill him. He had no choice but to compromise.
"Compromised. Vulture actually compromised."
The crowd's hearts trembled. The powerful Vulture had arrived arrogantly, asking where Lin Feng was, wanting to seize Lin Feng's demon fire. Everyone thought Lin Feng was in trouble. At the very least, the Seven-Tailed Demon Fox's demon fire was definitely not going to be kept.
When they saw Lin Feng actually refuse Vulture and resist, they all thought Lin Feng was dead for sure.
But the outcome exceeded everyone's expectations. Vulture, known as invincible in the Spirit Martial Realm, could not defeat Lin Feng. He was defeated by Lin Feng's true essence sword. Now, Vulture, at the peak of the Spirit Martial Realm, admitted defeat and stopped fighting. He didn't want the demon fire anymore.
"And so what?"
Lin Feng sneered coldly. This Vulture seemed to think things were too simple. He wanted to fight, so he fought. He wanted to seize Lin Feng's demon fire, even take his life. But when he found he couldn't win, a single "I don't want it anymore" was supposed to end it?
How could it be that simple? Wouldn't that mean anyone could come and trample on him, and if they couldn't, just back out midway? Was that possible?
He had said it before: either get lost, or die.
"I'm from Vulture Eagle Fort. Do you dare touch me?" Vulture saw Lin Feng's true essence sword still descending, getting closer and closer to completely destroying his lightning true essence. His expression changed drastically.
The reason Vulture dared to be so arrogant in Tianluo Ancient City, besides his own strength, was because he was from Vulture Eagle Fort, a powerful evil force in Tianluo Ancient City.
Vulture Eagle Fort was extremely united against outsiders. Anyone who dared to touch their people would be hunted down to the last one, leaving none alive. It was precisely this unity that allowed this evil force to thrive in Tianluo Ancient City for so long. Even though they had offended many people, those they offended could not form a complete group like them.
The crowd's hearts trembled. Was Lin Feng going to kill Vulture? This was something they had never even considered.
Although Bright Moon Sect was very close to Tianluo Ancient City, as long as they were in Tianluo Ancient City, even the people of Bright Moon Sect and Ice and Snow Mountain Villa were unwilling to offend Vulture Eagle Fort. Vulture Eagle Fort had been rooted in Tianluo Ancient City for many years. Touching one part affected the whole. Uprooting them completely was too difficult.
"Since you wanted to kill me, you should have thought about the outcome of being killed."
Lin Feng's indifferent voice made the crowd's hearts tremble. The sizzling sound echoed in the space as the true essence sword completely broke through the lightning sphere and slashed down toward Vulture.
"How dare you..."
A shout echoed through the space. Vulture looked at the sword above his head, a trace of despair appearing in his eyes. Within that despair was also regret. Usually, the people of Vulture Eagle Fort were used to being arrogant in Tianluo Ancient City. Therefore, he had never thought he would die. He never thought anyone would dare to kill him.
But now, death had descended. So suddenly.
"Chi!"
The subtle sound of sword energy rang out. Lin Feng's sword slashed down. The destructive true essence light slowly dissipated. Vulture stood there motionless, then slowly fell backward.
Vulture's eyes were still wide open, but from his brow downward, there was a long blood mark.
Dead!
Vulture of Vulture Eagle Fort was dead. At the peak of the Spirit Martial Realm, he was killed by Lin Feng's single sword strike, with no room to fight back, even though he had used the power of lightning true essence.
The outcome was so unexpected, so shocking, that many people had not yet recovered.
Blue Jiao behind Lin Feng widened her eyes. After a moment, she let out a long breath. Looking at the proud, standing figure, a trace of unusual emotion flickered in her beautiful eyes.
So proud. So decisive.
You want to kill me, so I kill you. No room for negotiation. No matter what your identity is. Kill first, talk later.
Her brow suddenly furrowed. Blue Jiao stepped forward a few paces, arriving beside Lin Feng, and said, "Lin Feng, leave here quickly. Leave Tianluo Ancient City!"
"Leave?"
Lin Feng looked at Blue Jiao, then shook his head slightly. "Why should I leave?"
"Damn it." Blue Jiao cursed inwardly and said, "Vulture is from Vulture Eagle Fort, and he has a high status. You killed him. Vulture Eagle Fort won't let you go. They'll probably come for you soon."
"Vulture Eagle Fort?" Lin Feng frowned. He had an agreement with Old Man Huo to meet at Heavenly Mountain Tavern in three days. He couldn't just leave like that.
"I won't leave." Lin Feng said indifferently, making Blue Jiao's beautiful eyes freeze. She cursed this guy inwardly for not knowing when to court death.
"Lin Feng, this is suicide." Blue Jiao cursed.
A trace of strange color flickered in Lin Feng's eyes as he looked at Blue Jiao, then said softly, "Why are you so anxious about me?"
Blue Jiao's gaze froze. She was stunned. That's right. What was wrong with her? Why was she anxious about this bastard? She should hate Lin Feng. She wished Lin Feng would die. Why was she helping him?
"Anxious about you? If you want to die, it's none of my damn business." Blue Jiao cursed crudely. She seemed like a completely different person from the seductive woman of last night. Not like her at all.
Watching Blue Jiao leave angrily, Lin Feng was baffled. He lifted his foot and walked toward Heavenly Mountain Tavern.
The crowd shook their heads inwardly. This guy had a beauty warning him and still didn't know his place. It seemed he was really dead this time.
Vulture Eagle Fort was not to be trifled with. As a powerful force in Tianluo Ancient City, Vulture Eagle Fort had over a thousand members. Besides some juniors, they were all at the Spirit Martial Realm, with almost no weaklings. Moreover, the three fort masters of Vulture Eagle Fort were all at the Mysterious Martial Realm, extremely powerful. Especially the main fort master, who had the terrifying strength of the Third Layer of the Mysterious Martial Realm. Few dared to provoke him.
Lin Feng, although very strong with extraordinary talent, was seeking death by trying to resist Vulture Eagle Fort alone.
The crowd did not leave from a distance. Vulture's death would probably reach Vulture Eagle Fort soon. They wanted to see what would happen then.
Just as the crowd expected, not long after, rumbling sounds came from afar. The earth began to tremble, as if hundreds or thousands of horses were galloping across the ground.
"They're here!" The crowd's hearts trembled. The people of Vulture Eagle Fort had come very quickly.
"Lin Feng is in trouble." Hearing the rolling sound of horse hooves, the crowd understood that Vulture Eagle Fort had come for revenge. Facing the powerful Vulture Eagle Fort, Lin Feng would probably be obliterated.
Moments later, a group of people with bloody, murderous auras sat astride black horses, rolling in. These people had grim expressions, carrying an evil aura. The people of Vulture Eagle Fort were all evil individuals, their hands stained with much blood, having killed countless people.
They were just like vultures. When they saw something they liked, they snatched it. If the other party didn't give it, they killed. Extremely evil and domineering, with no reason whatsoever.
Inside Heavenly Mountain Tavern, many people ran out. Hearing that Vulture Eagle Fort had come to seek revenge on Lin Feng, they naturally wanted to stay far away to avoid being caught in the crossfire.
Before long, Heavenly Mountain Tavern became extremely quiet. The distant iron cavalry arrived nearby. Looking at Vulture's corpse on the ground, the leader's face was cold and harsh. His eagle eyes became even sharper.
This man was Vulture's uncle, one of the two deputy fort masters of Vulture Eagle Fort, Eagle Fort Master.
"Roll out here and die."
Eagle Fort Master's voice was sharp and piercing, rolling toward Heavenly Mountain Tavern. With a booming explosion, the signboard of Heavenly Mountain Tavern directly burst apart.
"So powerful!"
The crowd's pupils contracted. With just a shout, he had blasted the bronze signboard from afar. Eagle Fort Master's shout contained a mouthful of true essence force, spat out with the sound.
Heavenly Mountain Tavern was eerily silent, with no sound at all.
The crowd thought to themselves, if these Vulture Eagle Fort people didn't charge in, how could Lin Feng possibly come out? Was he supposed to seek death? That was clearly impossible!
