“How do we kill him?” Wu De’s eyes revealed deep helplessness. In Hua Xia, obtaining firearms and ammunition was extremely difficult, so when planning against Li Feng he had never considered this possibility. Now, facing Li Feng’s overwhelming firepower, he felt utterly powerless. After all, flesh and blood could not stop bullets.
The youth remained silent. An Innate realm expert could use protective astral energy to block bullets, but he was not Innate. With his current skill, bullets meant certain death.
Thus, at this moment he had no good method to kill Li Feng.
Bang, bang, bang…
Just then, gunfire erupted from behind them.
Wu De froze, then realised what was happening, and his face turned iron-green. “I never expected Mu Jiajia and the others to counter-attack at this exact moment.”
One Li Feng plus the Blood Kill Twin Eagles was already more than they could handle. If Mu Jiajia’s group joined in now…
Wu De understood. They were completely surrounded, caught between Li Feng’s inner and outer pincer. While he had been scheming against Li Feng, Li Feng had probably been scheming against him, planning to wipe them all out.
Regret flooded Wu De’s heart. If he had known, he would have killed Mu Jiajia and the rest first. Then he would not be in this desperate situation.
“I’ll go kill Mu Jiajia,” the youth said gravely. He also knew that continuing like this was hopeless. Caught between two forces, facing two masters of gun arts, staying meant certain death. He had come to help Wu De, not to die with him. Seeing that Li Feng now held the absolute advantage, he knew Wu De was finished. Even if Wu De’s men wiped out the Black Hawk Squad, once Wu De died Li Feng could simply rebuild another squad.
So his only thought now was to escape Tianya Pavilion. As long as he got out, he had a chance to live. Whether Wu De lived or died was none of his concern.
With that, the youth charged towards the rear without waiting for Wu De’s reply.
Wu De opened his mouth but said nothing. He thought it was actually good to let the youth deal with Mu Jiajia’s group. Once they were eliminated, he might still turn defeat into victory.
What Wu De would never know was that the youth had no intention of fighting Mu Jiajia. He was heading straight for the back door to flee.
“Ah!”
At that moment, a scream rang out. Wu De’s expression changed drastically. He recognised Old Mu’s voice.
What happened to Old Mu?
Worry filled Wu De, but he dared not peek out. Li Feng’s marksmanship was too terrifying. One look and he might be shot dead.
Bang, bang, bang…
The gunfire gradually died down. Wu De paused. Could Li Feng have been killed by his men?
Then a glimmer of hope.
At that instant, an ice-cold voice sounded. “Wu De, will you come out yourself, or shall I drag you out?”
Wu De’s face drained of colour. He turned and saw Li Feng staring at him with a chilling expression.
“Li… Li Feng…” Seeing the Blood Kill Twin Eagles beside Li Feng, a terrible possibility struck him. He cried out, “What did you do to Old Mu?”
“Old Mu? You mean this old fellow?” Blood Eagle tossed a severed head in front of Wu De.
“Old Mu…” Wu De’s face twisted in horror. He had never imagined they could actually kill Old Mu.
“Heh heh, Wu De, what strength do you have left to kill me now?” Li Feng laughed coldly. Inside, he felt profound relief that he had summoned the Blood Kill Twin Eagles. Without them, he would have lost tonight for certain.
Wu De’s expression shifted repeatedly.
Tap, tap, tap…
Footsteps approached. Mu Jiajia and Su Kou appeared before Li Feng’s group.
“Mu Jiajia, everything settled?” Li Feng asked gravely.
“All taken care of, but one person slipped away through the back door during the fighting,” Su Kou answered quickly while Mu Jiajia remained silent.
“One fish that escaped the net. Ignore him.” Li Feng waved it off carelessly. The situation at Tianya Pavilion was essentially resolved. Only Wu De remained.
Li Feng’s gaze fell on Wu De. He smiled coldly. “Wu De, how would you like to die?”
“Li Feng, you really intend to kill me?” Wu De’s pupils contracted.
“Wu De, do you think I would spare you?” Li Feng laughed icily, his eyes murderous.
“Li Feng, think carefully. I am the eldest young master of the Wu family. If you kill me, the Wu family will never let you go.” At this moment, Wu De truly felt the threat of death.
“The Wu family will never let me go?” Li Feng sneered. “Wu De, when you decided to kill me, did you consider that the Li family would never let you go? Hmph. After you killed so many of my people tonight, did you think I would show mercy?”
“You…” Wu De’s face turned ashen.
“Men, chop him into pieces,” Li Feng ordered coldly.
“You… Li Feng, you dare…” Wu De’s face became the colour of earth.
“Yes.” The Blood Kill Twin Eagles stepped forward, raised their long swords high, and brought them down with savage force.
“Ah…”
A shrill, blood-curdling scream echoed. Li Feng turned away expressionlessly. He never showed mercy to enemies, especially not after everything that had happened tonight. The line had been crossed long ago.
“Mu Jiajia, do you still have strength left to fight?” Li Feng asked gravely.
“Tell me what you need, quickly,” Mu Jiajia replied, somewhat reluctantly.
“I need you and the Blood Kill Twin Eagles to rush to the suburbs and rescue the Black Hawk Squad.” Li Feng was deeply worried. If Tian Lang and the others were wiped out, his losses tonight would be catastrophic.
“Rescue?” Mu Jiajia paused.
“Yes, rescue.” Li Feng nodded and explained the situation.
“Fine.” Mu Jiajia did not refuse. She left Tianya Pavilion with the Blood Kill Twin Eagles.
“Su Kou, immediately arrange people to clean up Tianya Pavilion. There will be no more enemies tonight.” Li Feng said gravely. Dawn was only two hours away; it was almost over.
“Yes.”
Binhe Road junction.
One police car after another arrived at the scene. Officers stepped out and, seeing the hellish battlefield, many bent over and vomited.
He Zhiwu stepped down from his vehicle, face livid. He had received a call from Fo Zhu earlier and knew what had happened, but he had not expected the fighting to be this brutal.
Behind him, Fo Zhu also alighted, his own face dark with rage. Unlike He Zhiwu, he was furious that the attackers had been so useless. They had failed to kill even one of Li Feng, Hu Yuanyuan, or Zhong Shuhui.
“Fo Zhu, you’ve ruined me,” He Zhiwu said coldly. If this had happened in the suburbs the impact would have been containable, but in the city centre countless civilians must have heard. He had no idea how to handle the fallout.
“He Zhiwu, it’s useless to say that now. The priority is to clean up the scene,” Fo Zhu replied icily.
“You…” He Zhiwu’s gaze turned cold. He suspected Fo Zhu had known this would happen all along and had already calculated everything when he made that earlier phone call.
“Don’t worry. I’ll handle the higher-ups. You just do your job,” Fo Zhu said.
“I want to arrest Li Feng,” He Zhiwu said through clenched teeth. The root cause of all this was Li Feng. He had long disliked the man; now he loathed him utterly.
“Arrest him?” Fo Zhu shook his head. If Li Feng were an ordinary person they could arrest him at will, but he was not. From every angle, Li Feng was the victim here. On what grounds could they arrest him?
“He Zhiwu, stay out of this. Just clean the scene. You have two hours,” Fo Zhu finished, turned, and left without waiting for a reply.
He Zhiwu stared at Fo Zhu’s departing back, deep helplessness in his eyes. Once he had been proud to be a police officer. Now he realised officers were nothing more than cleaners for certain people.
Fo Zhu returned to his car and asked the youth beside him, “Have we found out who moved against Li Feng this time?”
“We have a rough picture, but many details are still unclear.” The youth reported everything they had uncovered so far.
“So Wu De is at Tianya Pavilion right now?” Fo Zhu’s face darkened.
“Yes,” the youth nodded.
“Drive to Tianya Pavilion immediately. Wu De cannot die,” Fo Zhu said urgently.
“To Tianya Pavilion?” The youth was startled. “Boss, why? Li Feng is already there. Wu De is as good as dead.”
“Wu De cannot die. Drive!” Fo Zhu’s face was grim. He had never expected Wu De to be involved tonight. If he had known, he would have stopped him. Because Fo Zhu knew a secret that no one else did. If Wu De died, the consequences would be unimaginable.
“Yes, sir.” The youth tensed and started the car at once. He had never seen Fo Zhu this anxious. Though he did not know why Wu De’s life mattered so much, he did not dare delay.
Five minutes later, the car screeched to a halt outside Tianya Pavilion. Fo Zhu flung the door open and strode hurriedly inside.
“Who goes there?” Two Eagle Eye members blocked his path.
“Scram.” Worried for Wu De, Fo Zhu swept out his hand.
Bang! Bang!
The two Eagle Eye members grunted and flew backwards.
“Enemy attack…”
Others saw and immediately sounded the alarm.
In the lobby, Li Feng had been about to treat his wounds when his expression changed drastically. He had not expected another assault on Tianya Pavilion at this moment. The Blood Kill Twin Eagles and Mu Jiajia were gone. Without firearms, a single third-layer Houtian ancient martial artist could probably take his life.
Though his gun arts were formidable, the ammunition he had obtained from the Du Clan in Kunyang Town was running low after tonight’s fighting.
There was no time to think. Two pistols appeared in his hands. He stared coldly at the entrance. Then Fo Zhu’s figure came into view.
