Damn…
Li Feng’s face changed drastically. Without thinking, he leaped off the small balcony.
Bang!
At that moment, the balcony door was blasted apart by a punch. Wild Leopard’s imposing figure appeared, his eyes flashing with icy killing intent as he saw Li Feng jump. “Chase him! He must die!”
With that, he leaped after Li Feng, leading the pursuit.
Wild Leopard was both shocked and furious. He never imagined someone would infiltrate the Du Clan’s headquarters, let alone eavesdrop on their secrets right under his nose.
The thought of the Blood Refining Array he’d discussed with Wild Cat sent a chill of murderous intent through him. This intruder could not be allowed to live. If word of the Blood Refining Array leaked, not only would the old man’s plan collapse, but it would draw the attention of the Song family and the National Security Bureau.
Wild Leopard knew well that if the Song family—overlords of Nanling Province and its surrounding regions—learned someone was using a Blood Refining Array in their territory to cultivate a divine skill, they’d lose face and never allow it. As for the National Security Bureau, they’d never tolerate such an act within the country, especially with their agents already in Kunyang Town.
The only way to keep this secret was to kill the intruder.
“Enemy attack!”
Wild Leopard’s shout triggered alarms throughout the villa. Du Clan members poured out from every corner.
“Damn it!”
Li Feng cursed under his breath. He hadn’t expected Wild Leopard’s reaction to be so sharp. A single misstep had exposed him. Seeing Du Clan members rushing out, his expression darkened.
What now?
The villa’s front opened onto a wide plaza. Running out there would make him a sitting duck.
With a sharp turn, Li Feng leaped through a window back into the villa.
“Who’s there?”
As he entered, a shout came from ahead.
“Die.”
In a flash, Li Feng reached the man, snapping his neck instantly.
Simultaneously, he kicked off the ground, darting like a phantom toward another Du Clan member at a corner. As he ran, he flicked his wrist, and a throwing knife pierced the forehead of a member charging at him.
“What?”
Another Du Clan member’s face twisted in disbelief, rubbing his eyes as if seeing an illusion. But Li Feng was already beside him, snapping his neck in an instant.
Reaching the staircase, Li Feng hurled more throwing knives.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…
The guards at the staircase fell before they could react.
Without hesitation, Li Feng dashed to the second floor.
“Stop right there!”
Wild Leopard had caught up, seeing the bodies littering the ground, his rage erupting.
“Hmph.”
Li Feng sneered, glancing at Wild Leopard. With a slap on his storage pouch, a massive black shadow flew out, hurtling toward Wild Leopard.
“Courting death!”
Wild Leopard snorted, slamming his palms forward.
Bang!
The shadow shattered. Wild Leopard saw it was a Du Clan member’s corpse, fueling his fury. “Brat, I’ll kill you today!”
“You?” Li Feng sneered, speeding up. Activating his Phantom Ninefold technique, he vanished from Wild Leopard’s sight.
“Brat, you’re dead!” Wild Leopard’s eyes glinted with cold intent. No one had ever dared act so brazenly in the Du Clan’s headquarters. If he didn’t kill this intruder, what would become of the Du Clan’s reputation?
Without hesitation, Wild Leopard gave chase.
Li Feng sneered, racing through the second floor, cutting down every Du Clan member he encountered.
Soon, he reached the last room on the second floor.
“Nowhere to run,” Wild Leopard sneered, lunging at Li Feng.
“Is that so?” Li Feng returned the sneer, kicking a nearby table at Wild Leopard.
“Child’s play.” Wild Leopard snorted, shattering the table with a punch. Standing tall, he said coldly, “Brat, you’ve got some guts infiltrating our Du Clan headquarters. Today, you’re a dead man. Choose: end yourself, or I’ll take your head.”
“Really?” Li Feng’s eyes flashed with cold light as he faced Wild Leopard.
At the fourth level of Qi Refining, equivalent to a sixth-level Post-Heaven martial artist, he feared no one, let alone Wild Leopard.
Slapping his storage pouch, a large blade appeared in his hand. He stared coldly at Wild Leopard. “The Du Clan? A mere Du Clan doesn’t scare me. A force planning to use a Blood Refining Array to sacrifice thousands shouldn’t exist in this world. The one dying today is you.”
With that, Li Feng stomped the ground, swinging his blade at Wild Leopard.
“Courting death!”
Wild Leopard roared in anger, a long sword appearing in his hand. With a flick, a silver flash aimed at Li Feng.
Clang!
Blade and sword clashed, sparking metallic sounds. Both Li Feng and Wild Leopard staggered back, the floor’s tiles cracking under their feet.
“Mountain-Splitting Fist!”
Li Feng steadied himself, roaring as he threw a punch with his left hand. The powerful fist tore through the air with a piercing whistle, unstoppable.
“Hmph, take this!”
Wild Leopard’s left hand formed a palm strike, true qi coalescing into a golden membrane.
A gust swept through the room!
Boom!
When Li Feng’s fist met Wild Leopard’s palm, the surrounding air seemed to vanish, time frozen.
“Hahaha, brat, you think you can fight me? You’re overestimating yourself!” Wild Leopard laughed as Li Feng’s fist slowly retreated. Decades of cultivation—how could he lose to a young upstart?
But he didn’t notice that Li Feng showed no worry, instead revealing a cold smile.
“You think you’ve won?”
Li Feng roared, true qi surging into his left arm, unleashing a massive burst of energy.
Bang, bang, bang!
With explosive sounds, Wild Leopard’s golden membrane shattered. He grunted, flying backward.
Pfft!
Spitting blood, Wild Leopard stared at Li Feng in disbelief.
Li Feng sneered, pressing his advantage, swinging his blade.
“Hahaha, you think you can kill me? Today, I’ll kill you first, then wipe out the Du Clan.”
“And that old man, hmph, using a Blood Refining Array for some demonic skill—he doesn’t deserve to exist.”
Li Feng let out a long cry, slashing at Wild Leopard.
“Universe-Splitting Slash!”
A meter-long blade aura shot out, swift as lightning.
“Blade aura?”
Wild Leopard’s face changed, his eyes ferocious. “Brat, you think you can kill me?”
Roaring, he thrust his sword forward, stomping the ground to retreat.
“Trying to escape now? Too late.” Li Feng sneered.
“Ah!”
The blade aura flashed, and with a scream, Wild Leopard’s arm was severed.
“Damn it, damn it…”
Wild Leopard cursed, retreating in fear as Li Feng’s murderous intent bore down.
Tap, tap, tap…
Footsteps approached. Li Feng abandoned the chase, leaping out the window.
“I’ll come back to kill you in a few days,” his icy voice echoed as Wild Leopard’s face turned ashen.
