Tie Lin lightly moved the fingers of his right hand and did not answer Xu Xu’s question. Instead, he asked, "Seeing us, your first reaction is to turn and flee. You recognize us, don’t you?"

It seemed like a question, but he spoke with certainty.

"The famous Apostles, how could I not know." Xu Xu said while slightly retreating, his soul power vibrating, readying for combat.

"Haha, are we that famous?"

Tie Lin’s eyes moved. He noticed Xu Xu’s action but didn’t mind it. He touched his face as the black iron gloves gradually disappeared, laughing loudly.

Watching the disappearing iron gloves, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of Xu Xu and the bald man.

This was clearly not a soul skill!

But soul soldiers!

Rumored to be only in the Lingyun Realm, Tie Lin had evidently stepped into the Martial King Realm. The black iron gloves were weapons nurtured in the Pocket World, thus they could merge into the body.

Nurturing soul soldiers is precisely one of the marks of a Martial King.

This is also the key for a Martial Emperor to achieve elementalization of the body.

It’s not strange that the Apostles possess the strength of a Martial King, among the 24 Apostles, there are indeed Emperors.

What truly puzzled Xu Xu was that Tie Lin dared to enter the Maple Forest, seemingly not worried about the spatial suppression.

For a King entering the Eighth Grade’s Space Gate, the suppression they face is almost two to three times as strong, under such conditions their strength is actually inferior to a regular Eighth Grade.

If they’re careless, they might even be hunted.

"Hmm!"

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Xu Xu nodded without denying.

No matter whether he admitted it or not, the opponent would not easily let them go.

As for the purpose of their opponent seeking them out, Xu Xu could guess somewhat, which is also one reason why he wasn’t fighting desperately.

"Then it’s just right, our purpose is the same."

Tie Lin laughed and said, "Let’s work together!"

Xu Xu glanced at the bald man, who did not react. After a moment, Xu Xu nodded in agreement, "Okay."

Things were as he expected.

Although the Apostles’ strength is formidable, the Lin Feng team is also not ordinary.

The three Apostles could not be opponents for the Lin Feng team. Even if they were, there would be damages, and there are many watching Lin Feng closely, numerous forces still need to be wary of their opponents.

Bu Zheng, Ye Xing, Yun Tianqi, the strength of these three is not much inferior to the Apostles, Bu Zheng might even be stronger.

Without absolute confidence, the Apostles dare not take risks lightly, thus they need to find people to collaborate with.

But this cooperation evidently lacked sincerity; the opponent somewhat intends to force them to be laborers or even cannon fodder.

Even if successful in the end, they would likely not gain much.

Fortunately, these three Apostles did not know that they were candidates for Apostles.

Lin Feng’s extravagant bounty was surely unattainable. Xu Xu and his partner were already mentally prepared for this point, and did not feel too much disappointment. Because even without the involvement of Apostles, facing so many competitors, their chance of claiming Lin Feng’s head was slim.

And the head is the proof for gaining the bounty.

With only two of them, they could not be a match for some forces, wanting to fish in troubled waters is not easy.

Though they couldn’t claim the head, cooperating with the Apostles might give them a chance to kill Lin Feng themselves.

These three Apostles only want Lin Feng’s head, they wouldn’t mind if someone else made the move, they might even be pleased.

And their mission to become Apostles is to kill Lin Feng. As long as they can prove they did it, they still have the chance to become Apostles.

The eyes of the bald man flickered, he evidently had the same thought.

Being Apostle candidates, they certainly aren’t weak, facing Apostles, they aren’t without the ability to resist, even if their strength isn’t as good as the Apostles, it would take significant effort for the opponent to kill them.

This is also the reason the opponent is negotiating.

There are many forces wanting to hunt the Lin Feng team; they certainly aren’t the only ones.

"Are there only three of you Apostles?" Xu Xu asked.

"How is that possible?"

Tie Lin looked at Xu Xu, smiling as he answered, "With such a high bounty, how could there only be three of us? There are two more, but they are at odds with us. With so many people, it’s hard to split things."

"How do we allocate?" The bald man took the opportunity to ask.

The cold young man holding the jade flute sneered, his tone carrying a hint of mockery, "Do you have the qualifications to discuss allocation?"

"We didn’t come all this way to be laborers."

Facing Mingyi’s threat, the bald man felt apprehensive, but his expression remained unchanged.

They aren’t without the ability to resist. If they appear too weak, it would be worse, and they might finally be treated as disposable cannon fodder, which would be tragic.

"Bold!"

Mingyi suddenly laughed, he raised his hand, placing the jade flute gently by his lips. Just as the melodious flute began, it was pressed down by Tie Lin, who was beside him.

The figures of Xu Xu and his partner shifted, back to back, ready for combat. Seeing Tie Lin intervene and stop, they felt relieved.

"Wait!"

Tie Lin said to the displeased-looking Mingyi, then turned to Xu Xu and his partner, "We have the same purpose and no grievances, there’s no need to fight!"

The bald man scornfully sneered, "Not even willing to discuss an unrestricted allocation, yet talk about cooperation? Isn’t it ridiculous?"

"Lin Feng’s head belongs to us. The other heads you can claim are yours!" Tie Lin said.

The bald man’s eyes turned, pondering for a moment, and then said, "Okay, but don’t think of us as cannon fodder. If we act, we do it together."

Mingyi sneered but did not refute.

Xu Xu watched the bald man clash with the three Apostles, his expression calm.

If it wasn’t necessary, they also didn’t want to turn against the Apostles.

To become an Apostle, none of them are simple characters; each has their trump cards and killer moves.

As an Apostle candidate, he and the bald man want to become Apostles, offending these people has no benefit.

But they can’t let the others think they are easily bullied; the bald man managed this well, both in strength and wisdom, he’s a tough competitor.

Xu Xu asked, "Do you have anyone else? With Lin Feng’s team strength, the five of us might not be enough to match them."

The handsome, sunny young man, Zhou Feng, played with the curved blade in his hand and said, "We’ll get two more experts later; seven people should be enough. Too many people could be counterproductive!"

"When will we take action?" Xu Xu asked.

"With so many forces acting, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. We need to be the oriole, striking last," Tie Lin said.

Xu Xu and the others had no objections to this.

Soon, the five of them flapped their Spiritual Power Wings and began searching for teammates.

On the other side, the Avengers Alliance was in battle, with only three participants: Yun Tianqi, Ye Xing, and Bu Zheng.

Lin Feng and the others didn’t join the battle, only occasionally providing support. Although the opposing forces numbered more than twenty, the battle ended in just three minutes, with the attackers completely annihilated, leaving behind a field of dismembered bodies and various postures of humanoid ice sculptures.

"So strong!"

Watching the departing figures of Lin Feng’s team, some observant mercenary teams also showed a trace of shock in their eyes.

Even though only three people from Lin Feng’s team took action, the rest only supported, the strength shown by Bu Zheng and the others was shocking.

This was a complete massacre!

"So strong, no wonder they are fearless."

"It’s understandable that Bu Yuanlong is strong, after all, he’s known as the Little Dragon King, but how are Ye Xing and Yun Tianqi so strong too? They don’t look like they just stepped into the Grandmaster Realm!"

"Being part of the top ten All-Stars, it’s normal for them to be stronger. What surprises me is their experience and speed in killing, who says professional players are useless?"

"They just came out of the Land of Chaos; they are not ordinary professional players!"

"Haha, I wonder if those assassins still dare to strike?"

"They are just some pitiable cannon fodder, even the fierce ones haven’t taken action yet."

Amidst the discussions, many quickly moved through the dismembered limbs.

They were looting the corpses.

The strength of those attackers wasn’t weak, and their weapons could be sold for good money. They also had some Pills on them; Lin Feng’s team didn’t want them, so they wouldn’t let them go to waste.

The battle didn’t make Lin Feng’s team stop; walking on the plains, Yu Qiao took out a water bottle, drank a sip, and said, "Just some cannon fodder small fries, not even enough to fill the teeth gap."

If others heard him, they might not understand; how could a battle relate to filling the teeth gap?

But the Avengers Alliance members knew exactly what Yu Qiao meant, and they couldn’t agree more.

In the Land of Chaos, prey was everywhere, and the speed of improving strength was unbelievably fast. Having enjoyed that level of speed, naturally, they wouldn’t be satisfied with this little amount of returned power.

Killing a King could return power far surpassing that of the previous team of twenty-three.

This efficiency was indeed disappointing.

"Opportunities like in the Land of Chaos only come once; even this fishing might happen just once, so cherish it well!"

Lin Feng looked around calmly and said.

Those who acted just now were obviously small fries; their strength wasn’t strong, some were only at the Seventh Grade, and some were not even Demon Spirit Masters.

During the battle, many had wanted to flee; it was clear that these small fries were most likely forced to act. Aside from testing their strength, it was more to deplete their stamina, Soul Power, and Spiritual Power.

The real experts hadn’t taken action.

"It’s already very good; don’t expect too much!"

Yun Tianqi looked at Yu Qiao and smiled.

The speed of improvement might not compare to the Land of Chaos, but the returned power just now saved at least ten days to half a month’s cultivation time, what was there to be dissatisfied with?

Moreover, their state remained at the peak, with no loss of Spiritual Power or Soul Power.

Thinking about this, Yun Tianqi couldn’t help but look at He Jun.

This gifted skill was simply abnormal.

Of course, without having signed a Contract with Lin Feng, they wouldn’t enjoy this ability either.

Because of Lin Feng’s presence, He Jun’s gifted skill could exert its special effect.

And Lin Feng, who absorbed the Little Green Monster’s Soul Skill, was also not a normal person.

How could a normal person absorb such a Soul Skill!

Joining the Avengers Alliance was obviously the best choice he and Ye Xing made.

"Here they come."

Suddenly, Bu Zheng shouted, and everyone looked up towards the western sky. Several kilometers away, more than ten figures were moving their wings, quickly flying towards their location.

With their flying speed, they could appear in front of them in less than a minute.

Not only that, but there were also over ten figures flying from the east and south, with three forces moving together; they obviously intended to encircle them.

"Follow me."

Lin Feng shouted, his figure darting ahead, and everyone hurriedly followed. In the face of the enemy’s pursuit, while they seemed slightly flustered, their eyes showed a hint of excitement.

The strength of these people seemed to be decent; this time, they might have a decent meal!
