Thinking of a group attack, Uncle Li could not help but show a bitter smile on his face.
Ancient martial artists were very proud, especially those at half-step innate. They were about to break through to the innate realm. Sometimes their pride was even greater than that of true innate experts.
Li Feng’s strength was at most half-step innate. If they ganged up on him, and word got out, who knew how many people would look down on them.
Even Old Qu would definitely not accept the idea of them surrounding and attacking Li Feng. Once they did that, it would be admitting that his strength was inferior to Li Feng’s. With Old Qu’s strange temper, getting him to agree would be troublesome.
But now, apart from a group attack, there was no other way.
Thinking of this, Uncle Li quickly called over the other few ninth-layer Acquired Realm ancient martial artists. He wanted to surround and attack Li Feng. These four ninth-layer Acquired Realm experts, plus him and Old Qu, would form the main force in the siege.
Of course, apart from them, the others were not to be discarded. Although those people were not strong enough, they could still hold Li Feng back. After arranging the four ninth-layer Acquired Realm martial artists, Uncle Li began to direct the rest. These people could not kill Li Feng, but their task was to delay him and stop him from escaping.
Li Feng forced Old Qu back with one move and quickly retreated.
While fighting Old Qu, Li Feng had been paying attention to everyone else’s movements. When he saw Uncle Li calling the other ninth-layer Acquired Realm martial artists, Li Feng knew his worst fear had come true.
A group attack!
The people from the Beiming family were finally going to launch a group attack on him. This was both within his expectations and beyond them.
Fortunately, he had already killed one peak ninth-layer Acquired Realm expert and cut off one of Uncle Li’s arms. Otherwise, facing two half-step innate experts and four or five ninth-layer Acquired Realm martial artists together, he would have been doomed to defeat.
Old Qu looked at Li Feng with a livid face. Just as he was about to pursue, Uncle Li stepped in front of him. “Old Qu.”
“What is it?” Old Qu glanced at Uncle Li. He had no divine sense, so he had not noticed Uncle Li’s arrangements earlier.
“Old Qu, this kid’s strength is so great. He is already half-step innate now. If we let him leave this time, it won’t be long before he becomes an innate expert. If we cannot kill him, the consequences will be endless.” Uncle Li said in a deep voice. He wanted to surround and attack Li Feng, but before doing so, he had to convince Old Qu. Among their group, Old Qu not only had the highest strength but also the strangest temper. If he did not cooperate, surrounding Li Feng would be nothing but a pipe dream.
“This old man naturally knows that.” Old Qu snorted coldly. His gaze coldly fixed on Li Feng. “Today he will not leave no matter what. Under this old man’s hands, he will surely die.”
The key is whether you can actually kill him.
Uncle Li thought to himself, but of course he would not say it out loud. He knew that saying such a thing would be like slapping Old Qu in the face. With Old Qu’s strange temper, it would be strange if he did not get angry at him.
“Old Qu, we do not have that much time now.” Uncle Li said gravely.
“What do you mean? Old Li, what exactly are you trying to say?” Old Qu turned back and looked at Uncle Li with some impatience.
“Old Qu, do not forget today’s mission.” Uncle Li said meaningfully.
“Today’s mission.” Old Qu’s expression changed. Their mission was to prevent experts from the Ge family from coming to rescue Ge Ying. But the person in front of them was clearly not from the Ge family.
“Exactly. We have no need to waste time with him. If while we are fighting him, people from the Ge family rescue Ge Ying, our plan will fall apart completely. This time, trying to participate in the Boxing King Tournament…” Uncle Li stopped there without finishing, but he believed Old Qu understood what he meant.
“Then what do you suggest we do?” Old Qu’s face turned ashen. He naturally knew how important the Boxing King Tournament was. So before that, obtaining an invitation to the Boxing King Tournament was the most crucial thing. If because of this kid they lost the chance to get an invitation, even he could not withstand the fury of the family’s higher-ups.
“Surround and attack.” Uncle Li looked at Li Feng. A cold murderous intent flashed in his eyes. Li Feng had cut off his arm. No one wanted to kill him more than he did.
“Surround and attack.” Old Qu’s expression changed. He said coldly, “You want this old man to join you in surrounding and attacking this kid?”
“Old Qu, there is no other way besides this. Otherwise, if experts from the Ge family arrive, how will we confront them?” Uncle Li said in a deep voice.
Old Qu’s face changed. If they surrounded and attacked Li Feng, it would be equivalent to admitting that his strength was inferior to Li Feng’s. If Li Feng were seventy or eighty years old, it might be acceptable. But Li Feng was only in his twenties. If word of this got out, how could he ever show his face again?
If they did not surround and attack, then as Uncle Li said, if while he was dealing with Li Feng the Ge family arrived and rescued Ge Ying, they would not get the Boxing King Tournament invitation from Ge Feng’s hands. Without an invitation, they could not participate in the Boxing King Tournament. At that point, the family’s higher-ups would not forgive him.
Although invitations to the Boxing King Tournament were not only in Ge Feng’s possession, losing this opportunity would make it difficult to obtain one from someone else.
“Old Qu, this is the only way. Hesitate and you lose.” Uncle Li said gravely.
“Fine. This time this old man will listen to you.” Old Qu nodded solemnly. Although his pride was important, compared to the Boxing King Tournament, his pride meant nothing at all.
Uncle Li was delighted when he heard this. With Old Qu’s agreement, Li Feng was as good as dead.
Thinking of this, Uncle Li looked toward Li Feng. While he had been persuading Old Qu, the four ninth-layer Acquired Realm martial artists had already blocked Li Feng’s escape route.
“Finally decided to surround and attack? The Beiming family is nothing special after all.” Li Feng sneered.
“Kid, you can still laugh at a time like this? If you had left earlier, you might have had a chance to live. But now you are dead without a doubt.” Uncle Li said coldly.
“Hahaha, dead without a doubt? Old man, how many times have you said that already? I’m still standing here perfectly fine. Yet you, old man, had one arm chopped off by me.” Li Feng laughed loudly.
“You…” A trace of anger flashed in Uncle Li’s eyes.
“What’s wrong? Lost for words? Do you know why I clearly knew you wanted to surround and attack me, yet I still did not leave?” Li Feng sneered.
“Because you are arrogant and ignorant.” Uncle Li said coldly.
“No. Because I want to kill every single one of you.” A chilling murderous intent burst from Li Feng’s eyes.
“Hahaha, just with you?” Uncle Li laughed loudly. He did not believe that under the siege of him and Old Qu, two half-step innate experts, plus four ninth-layer Acquired Realm martial artists, and so many other Beiming family members, Li Feng still had any chance of surviving.
Li Feng looked at the four ninth-layer Acquired Realm martial artists surrounding him, and at Uncle Li and Old Qu in front. He took a deep breath. He knew the hardest battle of the day had arrived.
“If you want to surround and kill me, you need to have the strength to do it first.” Li Feng snorted coldly. Then his figure flashed and he charged toward one of the ninth-layer Acquired Realm martial artists.
“Stop him!” Seeing Li Feng trying to break through, Uncle Li immediately shouted. “Kid, today you will not escape no matter what, because everyone in this warehouse belongs to us.”
As soon as Uncle Li finished speaking, a group of Beiming family members rushed toward Li Feng. Most of these Beiming family members were around the first or second layer of Acquired Realm. They could not kill Li Feng at all, but their presence could buy time.
“Hahaha, come on then.” Li Feng laughed loudly when he saw them. “Beiming family people, if one comes I kill one. If two come I kill two. All of you are going to die.”
Li Feng’s goal today was to kill. If he were only facing those ninth-layer Acquired Realm and half-step innate ancient martial artists, he might get stuck in a hard fight. But the appearance of these weaker members made the Beiming family’s ninth-layer Acquired Realm martial artists hesitate. They could not attack with full force for fear of friendly fire. Yet he had no such concerns. He could kill however he wanted. This was practically sending heads to him.
Pfft pfft pfft…
As soon as Li Feng charged into the crowd, several heads flew into the air. Jets of blood sprayed from their necks like blooming fireworks, exceptionally dazzling and eerie.
“All of you die.” Killing intent surged around Li Feng. He was like a god of death descended. The large blade in his hand flipped nonstop. Blade lights chopped out one after another. These ordinary ancient martial artists could not block him at all.
“Not good. We miscalculated.” Uncle Li’s face changed greatly when he saw this. He quickly said, “Old Qu, we need to go now. Otherwise our losses will be huge.”
Old Qu and the other four ninth-layer Acquired Realm martial artists saw Li Feng slaughtering the ordinary ancient martial artists and immediately reacted.
Li Feng’s strength had already grown strong enough that he did not fear being surrounded by these ordinary ancient martial artists. Although these people could delay him, Li Feng could definitely kill them all. These ordinary ancient martial artists might be weak, but they were members of the Beiming family and the foundation of the family. Losing too many would be something the Beiming family could not bear.
So Uncle Li became anxious. Old Qu and the other four ninth-layer Acquired Realm martial artists also became anxious.
“Hahaha, you idiots. Only reacting now? Have you not realised it’s already too late? These people’s lives, I accept them.” Li Feng shouted loudly. The large blade in his hand swung to its limit. Blade lights chopped through the air one after another.
Silver blade lights carried the momentum of thunder. Like fierce tigers descending the mountain, they tore through the void and swept across.
As the blade lights swept past, nearly a dozen people were instantly cut in half at the waist. Miserable screams rang out without end.
“You brat, how dare you!” Uncle Li was furious. Li Feng’s one move had almost cost the Beiming family a quarter of their people. If this continued, even if they eventually killed Li Feng, the losses to the Beiming family would be unacceptable.
“What do I not dare?” Li Feng pushed Phantom Nine Layers to its extreme. Like a swimming fish, he slipped through the gaps among the many enemies. He arrived in front of a ninth-layer Acquired Realm ancient martial artist. “Now, take my move: Split Hua Mountain with Force…”
