“Useless trash.”
The black-robed man’s expression was furious. He had not expected his subordinates to be so incompetent. They could not even stop Li Feng for five minutes.
“Damn trash. How did I end up raising so many useless people?”
The black-robed man cursed incessantly. He did not care that these subordinates had died, but the fact that they could not even delay Li Feng for five minutes seriously affected his plan.
“My lord, it is not that your subordinates are too weak. It is that Li Feng is too strong.” Horror filled the middle-aged man’s eyes. Too strong. Li Feng was simply too strong, so strong that he did not know how to describe it.
“Now it is time for your subordinates to act.” The black-robed man said to the middle-aged man.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man jumped in fright and quickly said, “My lord, my subordinates are ordinary people. If they act, I am afraid it will not work. Li Feng is so strong. He can kill them with one move each. To deal with Li Feng, we can only use ancient martial artists.”
“Ancient martial artists. Do you still have ancient martial artists under you?” The black-robed man said coldly.
“No, none.” The middle-aged man shook his head hurriedly. If he had ancient martial artists, he would not have ended up as someone else’s subordinate by now.
“Send your people up. Even if we have to fill the gap with lives, we must delay him for an hour today.” The black-robed man said coldly. “Li Feng is very strong, but his true qi will eventually run out. Once his true qi is exhausted, an ordinary person can deal with him.”
“Yes.” The middle-aged man nodded helplessly. No matter how unwilling he was, he did not dare refuse the black-robed man’s order.
“Moreover, do your subordinates not have guns? Li Feng is not an innate realm ancient martial artist. His flesh and blood body cannot block bullets.” The black-robed man said coldly.
“I understand.” A gleam appeared in the middle-aged man’s eyes.
Fengyuan Group.
“Kill.”
Tianlang and Liebao, leading two small teams of the Black Eagle unit, guarded the east and west staircase entrances respectively. Seeing the black-clothed men rushing up, they charged without hesitation.
The staircase entrances were narrow to begin with. After these days of special training, the Black Eagle unit’s combat strength had greatly increased. Although the black-clothed men were decent, they were far inferior to the Black Eagle unit and were soon suppressed at the entrances.
Especially Tianlang and Liebao, the squad leaders of the Black Eagle unit, whose strength was formidable. If they took the field, one person alone could hold an entrance. However, both Tianlang and Liebao understood that today’s real battle had not yet begun. They needed to conserve energy for the true fight. So for now, holding the entrances was left to their subordinates.
But the terrain of the staircases favoured defence while limiting offensive power. Each small team had five members, but only two could engage at a time.
“Tianlang, shall we push them down?” Liebao, watching the black-clothed men being beaten back steadily, could not hold back. He connected to Tianlang via the intercom.
“No.” Tianlang refused without hesitation. Although there were not many black-clothed men, the Black Eagle unit had even fewer members. Fighting outside the stairs would remove their numerical advantage.
“These black-clothed men are so weak. If we push down, it would not take five minutes to finish them.” Liebao asked unwillingly.
“More people have entered Tianfu Building.” At that moment, Anhui’s voice came over the intercom. “This time, around a hundred, and their speed is twice that of the previous group. Prepare immediately.”
Hearing Anhui’s words, Tianlang and Liebao’s expressions changed.
The strength of these current black-clothed men was similar to what they had when they were mercenaries, but their speed was twice as fast. Both immediately thought of one possibility.
These people, like them, were martial artists.
Only martial artists could have such speed. At this moment, Tianlang and Liebao’s faces grew grave.
Not only Tianlang and Liebao, but Anhui in the main control room also looked solemn. The appearance of these people meant the opponent had begun to act seriously, yet there was no news from Li Feng. This made him realise Li Feng must be in trouble.
If Li Feng was absent, even with many arrangements here, dealing with these people would be very troublesome. The entire plan could go wrong.
Just as Anhui hesitated whether to notify Zhong Shuhui immediately, he suddenly saw the surveillance at the Tianfu Building entrance and his expression changed dramatically.
On the monitor, five people had arrived at the entrance, but they vanished in a flash.
Experts.
Anhui’s expression changed instantly. If the ordinary people who had just entered were ones they could handle, these five new arrivals were definitely beyond the Black Eagle unit’s capability.
Thinking of this, Anhui quickly said over the intercom, “Tianlang, Liebao, experts have arrived. Switch to the second plan immediately.”
At the twenty-fifth floor staircase entrances, Tianlang and Liebao’s expressions changed dramatically. They quickly ordered their subordinates, “Begin the second plan.”
Hearing this, the Black Eagle unit members charged forward fiercely for a moment, then retreated.
Bang bang…
The Black Eagle members behind them took out handguns and swept fire at the black-clothed men. Caught off guard, many black-clothed men were killed.
At the same time, the Black Eagle members hid in concealed positions.
This was the second plan.
After the previous Binhe Road incident, Li Feng had deeply felt the Black Eagle unit’s strength was insufficient. So he equipped every member with a gun. Most Black Eagle members were from the Tianlang mercenary group and had good marksmanship. Now, having cultivated true qi, their reaction speed and perception had greatly improved. Combined with firearms, they posed a threat to martial artists below innate realm.
This was also why Li Feng had arranged the Black Eagle unit at Fengyuan Group today. Otherwise, from the previous Binhe Road incident, without guns, the Black Eagle unit could only serve as cannon fodder.
However, to prevent over-reliance on guns and neglect of cultivation, Li Feng ruled that guns could not be used unless facing ancient martial artists stronger than them.
So now, with experts appearing, they unhesitatingly chose guns.
Less than a minute after the Black Eagle unit started using guns, Blood Shadow, not far from Tianfu Building, received the news. His face turned iron-blue instantly. “Guns? When did Li Feng’s Black Eagle unit get guns?”
The people he had sent, though not very strong, with the highest at post-natal sixth level, should have been more than enough to slaughter the Black Eagle unit. But he had never expected Li Feng’s Black Eagle unit to have guns.
Even post-natal sixth level had no choice but to dodge bullets. Now he did not know how good the marksmanship of Li Feng’s Black Eagle unit was. If it was good, his plan to wipe out these members might fail completely.
“Lord Blood Shadow, I have no intelligence on this.” The middle-aged man behind Blood Shadow quickly said.
“Damn Li Feng, pulling this trick on me.” Blood Shadow’s face was iron-blue.
“Lord Blood Shadow, I have some gunmen under me. Shall I send them out?” the middle-aged man said.
“No. Those people are my big gift for Li Feng. It is not time to use them yet. Moreover, even if sent to Fengyuan Group now, they may not be a match for the Black Eagle unit.” Blood Shadow shook his head.
“Then what do we do? Lord Blood Shadow, can your ancient martial artists not go up and surround them from behind?” the middle-aged man said.
“Surround from behind?” Blood Shadow’s eyes lit up.
“Yes. Although the lifts in Tianfu Building are shut down, leaving only two staircases, there are other ways up, such as ventilation ducts or water pipes. Ordinary people cannot use them, but for ancient martial artists, it is easy. Lord Blood Shadow can have our ancient martial artists go up through these routes and surround the Black Eagle unit from behind.” A cold gleam flashed in the middle-aged man’s eyes.
Blood Shadow nodded. “Good. Even if we cannot kill all the Black Eagle unit, we can besiege a point to strike reinforcements. Use these members as bait to surround and kill Li Feng.”
“Not only that. Once those ancient martial artists go up, they can first check Fengyuan Group for any information on maglev cars. If there is any, we can obtain it without anyone noticing. If not, we can only capture Li Feng and get the information from him.” the middle-aged man continued.
“Good. This is a fine idea. Go arrange it immediately.” A sharp gleam burst from Blood Shadow’s eyes.
“Yes.”
After the middle-aged man left, Blood Shadow took out his phone and dialled a number. “Caidie, are your people ready?”
“What, does the great Blood Shadow not trust me? Do we of Blood Sand need you to teach us how to act?” Caidie’s cold voice came through. “But Blood Shadow, do you think your plan will succeed? I hear Li Feng is under attack on Wangjiang Road right now. You are not going to tell me those are your people, are you?”
“You could say they are, or you could say they are not.” Blood Shadow replied.
“What does that mean?”
“You do not need to know. You only need to know my plan will definitely succeed.” Blood Shadow said coldly.
On the other end of the phone, Caidie gave a cold laugh at Blood Shadow’s words. “Is that so? Then we shall see.” With that, she hung up.
“Caidie, the people on Wangjiang Road are Blood Shadow’s? How is that possible?” The person beside Caidie was none other than Situ Qiang. At this moment, his face was full of disbelief. He had already learned roughly from Hongmen insiders what kind of people Blood Shadow had mobilised for this operation. If those on Wangjiang Road were sent by Blood Shadow, where had Blood Shadow obtained them?
“Young Master Situ, what is so strange about that? Do not underestimate Blood Shadow. He is the person by Chen Junyi’s side. If he were that easy to deal with, would Chen Junyi have arranged him to handle Li Feng this time?” A cold laugh flashed in Caidie’s eyes. This Situ Qiang was too naive, but cooperating with someone like him would allow her plan to succeed.
