Chapter 41: Chapter 41: Their Instructor Knows Demon Art

Back in Qingshui Town, Yan Rufeng gathered all the noncommissioned officers and ordered, "Everyone listen! Without my permission, nobody is allowed to leave my line of sight."

"Instructor Yan, what’s the situation over there?" One of the noncommissioned officers urgently asked.

"Everything is under control!" Yan Rufeng replied.

"Instructor Yan, can you tell us what exactly is causing the chaos?" Another noncommissioned officer asked.

Yan Rufeng answered, "Zombies."

"My God, there really are zombies." The noncommissioned officer exclaimed in surprise.

Wen Tong shouted, "What do you mean ’really are zombies’? The place is thick with death energy, swirling and stagnant, that’s a Zombie King!"

"Zombie King..."

The noncommissioned officers began discussing Wen Tong’s words among themselves.

"With our cultivation, we need to gang up just to handle an ordinary zombie. Can we even hold up against a Zombie King?" A noncommissioned officer asked in fear.

Another noncommissioned officer reassured, "Isn’t Instructor Yan with us? We’ll be fine if we follow him tomorrow." Although he spoke words of comfort to others, he was also filled with trepidation.

"Yes, we’ll follow Instructor Yan..."

Seeing this, Yan Rufeng reassured them, "It’s just a zombie that has cultivated for hundreds of years, there’s no need to panic. Everyone rest for now, and we’ll set off with the main force tomorrow..."

"Beep, beep..."

Just as everyone was preparing to start a fire to cook, the sound of car horns came.

With a smile, Wen Tong said, "Instructor Yan, it must be reinforcements from other bases."

"Oh, everyone come with me to welcome them." Yan Rufeng said.

As soon as Yan Rufeng and his team stepped outside, they saw a group of people striding towards them.

The person leading the group, judging by his rank, was also an instructor at a base, just like Yan Rufeng.

Before he even got close, the man spoke in a mocking tone, "I heard you arrived early. I thought you would have solved everything by now. But it looks like the first thing you did was start a fire to cook. Seems like you guys from the Fifth Base are just a bunch of cooks!"

"Ha ha..."

"Hey, kid, who are you calling a cook?" Wen Tong approached, glaring angrily.

"Wow, I didn’t expect the Fifth Base to have such a beautiful woman. No wonder you’ve lost the spirit of soldiers; you’ve become a bunch of wimps infatuated with beauty."

Just as the instructor finished speaking, one of his noncommissioned officers loudly said, "People from the Fifth Base, you might as well pack up and leave."

"Ha ha..."

Mocking laughter arose all around.

"A soldier can be killed but not humiliated. Now, apologize to my student." Yan Rufeng stepped forward.

"Ha ha!"

"Judging by your rank, you must be the instructor of this cook squad." The instructor said disdainfully.

"Slap."

Yan Rufeng slapped the man across the face, without even touching him.

"You dare hit me, little brat! Watch me..."

"Slap."

Yan Rufeng slapped him again.

"I demanded you apologize to my student immediately, or it won’t just be two slaps."

Yan Rufeng’s body trembled, and a wave of pressure radiated from him, immediately immobilizing the instructor.

When the instructor saw the fierce look in Yan Rufeng’s eyes, he felt a chilling fear, as if falling into an abyss. He believed that if he didn’t apologize, Yan Rufeng’s single look would be enough to destroy him.

He relented, stammering, "I-I’m sorry."

"Whom are you apologizing to? Speak clearly!" Wen Tong demanded, still not satisfied.

"Apologizing to you is already giving you face, what more do you want? Instructor Hu, just give the order and we’ll annihilate them." One of Instructor Hu’s students yelled loudly.

"Instructor Hu, give the order! We’re ready to finish them off." Another said impatiently.

Instructor Hu’s face turned ashen, "These idiots, they’re putting me in a worse situation..."

"All of you, shut the hell up!" Instructor Hu roared.

Yan Rufeng increased the pressure, and Instructor Hu felt his body about to burst from the intense pressure.

Instructor Hu broke into a cold sweat, urgently raising his voice, "I, Hu Yixiang, on behalf of all soldiers from the Third Base, apologize to the brothers of the Fifth Base. I sincerely say sorry for my rashness and ask for your forgiveness."

Wen Tong rolled her eyes at him, "That’s more like it. I’ll let it slide this time."

Yan Rufeng withdrew his pressure, and Instructor Hu collapsed to the ground.

Yan Rufeng turned and walked away, Wen Tong observing said loudly to the noncommissioned officers, "Let’s go! We don’t welcome such a brotherly team."

As Yan Rufeng left, Instructor Hu was helped up by his students.

One of them asked, "Instructor Hu, what happened just now? With one word from you, we could have wiped them out."

Instructor Hu watched Yan Rufeng’s departing figure with venomous eyes, "I’ll repay today’s humiliation tomorrow, I swear it."

"Instructor Hu, why wait till tomorrow? Let’s go now and give them a good beating to avenge you." Another said angrily.

"You don’t understand, I was controlled by that instructor from the Fifth Base using a demonic technique. Even all of you combined wouldn’t be a match for him." Hu Yixiang maliciously slandered Yan Rufeng.

"A Fifth Base instructor using demon art? I never thought he would stoop so low." One person accused Yan Rufeng angrily.

"Instructor Hu, if their instructor uses demon art, are we just going to let this slide?" Another asked.

"Don’t worry. Other bases’ instructors and seniors from the Cultivation World will be here soon, and I’ll have a way to deal with him." Hu Yixiang said with a grim smile, as he led his people to the entrance of Qingshui Town to welcome the reinforcements from other bases and the Cultivation World.

Although Yan Rufeng had returned to the camp, he clearly heard everything through his divine sense that Hu Yixiang was saying.

"Sigh, it seems Hu Yixiang is someone who has received a Cultivation Inheritance. Unfortunately, it’s this kind of inheritance. This inheritance will be a future disaster if left in the world. Better not have it."

Night fell, and the personnel from the other three bases arrived in Qingshui Town one after another, but the people from the Cultivation World had yet to arrive.

Hu Yixiang’s group painted Yan Rufeng as a demon in the eyes of the newcomers. And he succeeded in his plan, as Instructor Ji Yun from the First Base announced that he would demand an explanation from Yan Rufeng.

Seeing Ji Yun leave, Hu Yixiang thought triumphantly, "Ji Yun is the instructor of the First Base, his cultivation is far above mine. Let’s see how the Fifth Base is humiliated tonight."

Ji Yun found Yan Rufeng and asked, "Are you Instructor Yan from the Fifth Base?"

Yan Rufeng stood up and replied, "Yes, and who might you be?"

Ji Yun introduced himself, "I’m Ji Yun, the instructor at the First Base."

Yan Rufeng smiled calmly, "So, it’s Instructor Ji. Nice to meet you."

"No need for formalities."

Ji Yun continued, "Instructor Yan, we are here on a mission. Why are we fighting among ourselves?"

Wen Tong rolled her eyes at Ji Yun, "So, are you here to blame us or to teach us a lesson?"

"And you are?" Ji Yun, although displeased, did not get angry as he knew he couldn’t make judgments based on one side’s story.

Yan Rufeng smiled, "Brother Ji, this is Wen Tong. She was once with the Zhongzhou Police Station. She sometimes talks to me this way; please don’t mind her."

"Ha ha."

Ji Yun smiled, "Officer Wen, this is not the police station. It’s better to speak respectfully with superior officers."

"Hmph."

Wen Tong retorted coldly, "If you and Instructor Hu are from the same mold, you are not a superior officer in my eyes."

Ji Yun had already guessed that Wen Tong was likely the daughter of General Wen at their base.

"Ha ha."

Ji Yun smiled lightly, "Officer Wen, if General Wen knew you were at the Fifth Base, I wonder what he’d think."

"If you already guessed, best keep it to yourself. Or you’ll regret it," Wen Tong said fiercely.

Ji Yun smiled without speaking. After a while, he said, "Alright, I won’t say anything. But what happened between you and Hu Yixiang from the Third Base? Why are they saying Instructor Yan used demon art to control them and humiliate them?"

"That’s nonsense," Wen Tong shouted angrily.

Yan Rufeng smiled indifferently, "Brother Ji, if I’m not mistaken, your cultivation should be at Qi Refining Peak."

Ji Yun was taken aback, thinking, "None of the inheritors have seen through my cultivation level, why can this instructor from the Fifth Base see it? There’s only one explanation, his cultivation is higher than mine. But there’s no spiritual energy fluctuation from him. Is he really using demon art?"
