Just as Li Feng was fighting fiercely with Old Qu and the others, at the main entrance of the warehouse, Ge Feng stood confronting Beiming Qi.
“Ge Feng, you’re still too young to challenge me.” Beiming Qi looked at Ge Feng with a cold sneer on his face. “If you don’t want anything to happen to Ge Ying, hand over the invitation letter to the Boxing King Tournament obediently. Otherwise…”
Ge Feng’s face turned ashen as he stared at Beiming Qi. No, more precisely, he was staring at the middle-aged man standing beside Beiming Qi. It was this man who had just forced him back with a single move.
Ge Feng did not know much about the people of the Beiming family, but he recognised this middle-aged man beside Beiming Qi. His name was Beiming Wu, an Acquired Ninth Layer ancient martial artist. Although he was only at the early stage of Acquired Ninth Layer, Ge Feng, who knew about Beiming Wu’s past, did not dare underestimate him in the slightest.
“Ge Feng, I’m giving you three minutes to think it over. If you refuse to hand over the invitation letter, don’t blame me for being impolite.” Beiming Qi said coldly.
“Beiming Qi, do you really intend to make an enemy of our Ge family?” Ge Feng’s face was livid. With Beiming Wu by Beiming Qi’s side, it was impossible for him to take down Beiming Qi. Even if Blood Eagle and Killing Eagle could hold off Beiming Wu, he could not be sure there were no other experts hidden around Beiming Qi.
“Make an enemy of the Ge family?” Beiming Qi said with disdain. “So what if I do? Does our Beiming family fear your Ge family? Ge Feng, a wise man submits to circumstances. If you refuse to see reason, don’t blame me for showing no mercy.”
As long as he obtained the Nine Dragon Jade and opened the Gate of a Thousand Mechanisms to claim what was inside, the Beiming family would become the unrivalled number one family in the world. At that point, families like the Ge family and the Murong family would be nothing more than trash, to be crushed however they pleased.
From the moment he took Ge Ying away, Beiming Qi had already prepared himself to become enemies with the Ge family. Therefore, he had nothing but contempt for Ge Feng’s words.
“Very well, very well, Beiming Qi. I hope you won’t regret this.” Ge Feng’s gaze turned icy cold. At this moment, he completely gave up on the idea of resolving the matter peacefully.
“Regret? Ge Feng, let me tell you, I, Beiming Qi, have never known what regret is. Just listen.” Beiming Qi sneered coldly.
Boom, boom, boom…
Intense sounds of fighting came from inside the warehouse. A smug, cold smile appeared on Beiming Qi’s face. “Ge Feng, you really did send someone to rescue Ge Ying. But let me tell you, this time I will make sure you lose both your wife and your army.”
“Is that so? We shall see.” Ge Feng gave a cold laugh. If it had been anyone else going to rescue Ge Ying, he might have felt some worry. But since it was Li Feng who went, Ge Feng felt almost no concern in his heart.
“It seems you have great confidence in your subordinate. Do you even know how many people I arranged for you?” Beiming Qi sneered when he heard this.
“I don’t know, and I don’t need to know. As long as my sister can be saved, that’s enough.” Ge Feng replied.
“Hahaha, Ge Feng, do you think that’s possible? I arranged five Acquired Ninth Layer ancient martial artists around Ge Ying. Does your subordinate have that kind of ability? Can he really save Ge Ying?” Beiming Qi sneered.
“Five?” Ge Feng narrowed his eyes and said with a cold smile, “I didn’t expect the Beiming family to invest so heavily for this Boxing King Tournament.”
Five Acquired Ninth Layer experts, plus the Beiming Wu standing in front of him right now, made a total of six Acquired Ninth Layer ancient martial artists. For any of the twelve great families, deploying six such experts would require the approval of the family head and the elders’ council.
From this, it was clear that the Beiming family was determined to obtain the Nine Dragon Jade, just like the Murong family.
But was the Nine Dragon Jade really that easy to obtain?
At this moment, Ge Feng could not help but recall the words his father had said to him before coming to Tianhai City this time.
However, when it came to five Acquired Ninth Layer ancient martial artists, Ge Feng was not particularly worried. A few nights ago, no fewer than five Acquired Ninth Layer ancient martial artists had died at Li Feng’s hands. Five such experts alone could not possibly stop Li Feng.
“Of course. Only our Beiming family is worthy of obtaining the Nine Dragon Jade. No one else qualifies, including your Ge family.” Beiming Qi said with full pride.
“Is that so?” Ge Feng sneered with disdain. Only the Beiming family was worthy of the Nine Dragon Jade? Beiming Qi actually dared to say such words. Forget about other forces. Just take Li Feng alone. With Li Feng participating in this Boxing King Tournament, the Beiming family could forget about getting the Nine Dragon Jade.
But seeing Beiming Qi’s arrogant and smug expression, Ge Feng did not want to shatter his confidence. Reality would soon teach him cruelly what it meant to indulge in wishful thinking.
“What’s wrong? Don’t believe me? You’ll find out soon enough. But right now, your Ge family might lose a few good hands, and the one responsible for it all will be you, Ge Feng.” Beiming Qi looked at Ge Feng with an arrogant tone, filled with indescribable smugness.
“Beiming Qi, don’t be so full of yourself before the result is out. Five Acquired Ninth Layer ancient martial artists? I wonder how the Beiming family will feel after losing five of them. Will you, Beiming Qi, cry yourself unconscious in the toilet?” Ge Feng sneered.
Hearing this, Beiming Qi’s expression changed. Ge Feng looked so confident. Could it be that Ge Feng had sent someone powerful enough to overpower five Acquired Ninth Layer ancient martial artists?
If that was the case, then the Ge family was also determined to obtain the Nine Dragon Jade. Getting the invitation letter from the Ge family’s hands would not be easy. Even though Ge Ying was in his hands now, it might not be enough to force Ge Feng to hand over the invitation letter.
After all, for families like theirs, the interests of the family always came first. Ge Ying was a member of the Ge family. For the family’s benefit, for the chance to participate in the Boxing King Tournament, and for the Nine Dragon Jade, it was not impossible for the Ge family to sacrifice Ge Ying.
In that case, the Ge family was still a major rival in the fight for the Nine Dragon Jade.
Thinking of this, a cold killing intent flashed in Beiming Qi’s eyes. Since they were major rivals, they had to be eliminated. Only by removing this major rival could there be hope of obtaining the Nine Dragon Jade.
“Ge Feng, so what if your subordinate has the strength to overpower five Acquired Ninth Layer ancient martial artists? Besides those five, I also arranged two Half-Step Innate experts. This time, not only will you fail to save Ge Ying, but all your people will die there.”
Beiming Qi looked at Ge Feng with icy eyes and said, “I wonder how the rest of your Ge family will react when they learn that you lost more than five Acquired Ninth Layer experts just for one Ge Ying.”
“What? Two Half-Step Innate experts?” Ge Feng’s expression completely changed. Five Acquired Ninth Layer ancient martial artists posed no real threat to Li Feng. But five Acquired Ninth Layer plus two Half-Step Innate experts was a different story. Li Feng was not an Innate expert. He would definitely be unable to handle two Half-Step Innate and five Acquired Ninth Layer opponents.
“Hahaha, Ge Feng, are you scared now? Worried? Too bad. It’s useless to be scared or worried now. The people you sent are doomed to die.” Beiming Qi laughed loudly.
“Beiming Qi, I can give you the invitation letter, but you must release them.” After thinking it over, Ge Feng still felt that handing over the invitation letter in exchange for Ge Ying and Li Feng’s safety was the better option.
“Give me the invitation letter?” Beiming Qi sneered.
“What? Didn’t you want the invitation letter? As long as you release them and promise not to harm them, I will give you the invitation letter.” Ge Feng said in a deep voice.
“Haha, Ge Feng, Ge Feng, do you really think I would agree now?” Beiming Qi sneered.
“What do you mean?” Ge Feng’s face darkened.
“What do I mean? What do you think?” Beiming Qi sneered. Such a perfect opportunity to wipe out the Ge family’s experts, how could he possibly let it slip? The more experts the Ge family lost, the better it would be for the Beiming family.
“Beiming Qi, what a deep scheme you have.” Although Ge Feng was a martial fanatic, as one of the heirs trained by the family, he still had a sharp mind. In this moment, he immediately understood Beiming Qi’s true intention.
“Hahaha, you’re too kind, too kind.” Beiming Qi smiled, his face full of smugness.
Ge Feng stared fixedly at Beiming Qi, killing intent surging within him.
“What? Ge Feng, do you want to fight? With just the three of you, are you a match for us?” Beiming Qi sneered. Killing Ge Feng might provoke a mad retaliation from the Ge family, but killing a few of their experts was different. Although the Ge family would be furious, they would not wage a life-and-death war against the Beiming family.
So for Beiming Qi, the most important thing now was to keep Ge Feng here until the result came out.
Time passed minute by minute. The earth-shaking battle inside the warehouse gradually quieted down.
Beiming Qi laughed triumphantly. “Ge Feng, oh Ge Feng, look at how useless your people are. They were killed so quickly by my men. Now this young master will give you one last chance. Hand over the invitation letter. Perhaps this young master will release Ge Ying. Otherwise, when my subordinates come out, you won’t be able to leave either.”
Ge Feng’s face was ashen, struggle flashing in his eyes. Could Li Feng really be dead? How was that possible?
“Young Master Ge, my master is fine.” Blood Eagle stepped forward and said. He was under Li Feng’s Divine Control Technique. If Li Feng died, he would regain his freedom. So he knew better than anyone whether Li Feng was alive or dead.
“Is that true?” A gleam of light flashed in Ge Feng’s eyes.
Blood Eagle nodded.
Ge Feng felt a surge of joy. If Li Feng was not dead, then either he had been captured by Beiming Qi’s men or he had escaped. Either way, as long as Li Feng was safe, that was enough.
“Ge Feng, how have you considered it? My patience is limited. If you don’t hand over the invitation letter, this young master will immediately make you my brother-in-law.” Beiming Qi looked at Ge Feng coldly.
“Release Ge Ying first.” Ge Feng said in a deep voice.
“Do you think that’s possible? I’m giving you three minutes to think it over. After three minutes, if you don’t give me a satisfactory answer, hehe…” Beiming Qi gave a sinister laugh.
The three minutes passed quickly.
“Ge Feng, are you giving me the invitation letter or not? If not, I will have someone bring Ge Ying out right now so you can watch with your own eyes how she becomes my woman.” Beiming Qi said coldly.
Ding!
Just as Ge Feng was about to speak, his phone rang. He took it out and looked at it. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes. He raised his head and looked at Beiming Qi with a cold smile.
“Beiming Qi, do you know what it means to be arrogant and bring disaster upon yourself?”
