At the entrance of Tianfu Building.
Li Feng put away his phone, glanced at Tianfu Building, and sneered, “Blood Shadow, have you set up an impenetrable trap in Tianfu Building? Even if you have, I will still force my way in.”
As he spoke, Li Feng strode into Tianfu Building.
Since the lifts had been shut down, Li Feng headed straight for the stairs. For safety, he drew his pistol. He was not afraid of those ancient martial artists, but he was wary of gunmen, the ones lurking in the shadows who were impossible to guard against completely.
Although he possessed reaction speed far beyond ordinary people and protective qi that could withstand bullets, the true qi in his body was limited. After several battles, especially after killing Duke Lao just now, his true qi had already decreased by a third. Yet the real fight had not even begun. He did not know if other experts would appear, but at least Blood Shadow had not shown himself yet. He needed to conserve enough true qi to deal with Blood Shadow.
According to intelligence from the Shadow Tower, Blood Shadow’s strength was half-step innate, but no one could guarantee that Blood Shadow had not broken through. What if he had?
“Kill.”
As soon as Li Feng reached the third floor, several men in black charged at him.
“Court death.” Li Feng snorted coldly and pulled the trigger.
Bang bang bang!
The men in black instantly collapsed to the ground.
“Just a few pieces of trash think they can stop me?” Li Feng’s gaze was icy. He paid no attention to the dead men and continued upwards.
Not long after Li Feng left, an old man with hawk-like eyes emerged from a room. He looked at the black-clad bodies on the floor, sneered, and said, “Li Feng, you are now a turtle in a jar.” Then he followed up the stairs.
“Old fellow, go die.”
Just as the hawk-eyed elder reached the fourth floor, a massive palm strike carrying overwhelming power slammed down at him from above.
“Not good.”
The hawk-eyed elder’s expression changed drastically. He had not expected Li Feng to be waiting for him here. However, his reaction was swift. He slid his feet and dodged the attack with astonishing speed.
“Good movement technique, but unfortunately…” Cold light flashed in Li Feng’s eyes. He struck out fiercely with his palm, sending another ferocious palm strike hurtling towards the hawk-eyed elder.
When he had killed those men in black earlier, Li Feng had scanned the area with his divine sense and detected this hawk-eyed elder. From the elder’s aura, Li Feng sensed that he was extraordinary, at least on par with Duke Lao.
So Li Feng wondered why, with such strength, the hawk-eyed elder had not attacked him.
After reaching the fourth floor, Li Feng used his divine sense to monitor the elder and discovered that he had left his room and was following.
Now Li Feng understood. This hawk-eyed elder had been placed here with some scheme in mind. Though he did not know what it was, leaving the elder alive posed a huge threat.
Moreover, whether it was this hawk-eyed elder or Duke Lao, both were at the ninth level of the post-natal realm. If they joined forces, Li Feng truly lacked the strength to kill them. But now they were separated, giving him the chance to defeat them one by one.
Therefore, when the hawk-eyed elder came up, Li Feng ambushed him, intending to kill with a single blow. Unexpectedly, the elder’s strength exceeded his expectations. Despite the surprise attack, the elder dodged effortlessly.
The hawk-eyed elder dodged nimbly while sneering, “Well done, Li Feng. You actually discovered my presence.”
“No choice. I am particularly sensitive to dogs, especially an old one.” Li Feng replied with a cold laugh.
The hawk-eyed elder’s face turned livid. As an enshrined elder of the Hongmen Enshrinement Court, when had he ever been called an old dog? Especially by Li Feng, the man he was determined to kill today.
“Old dog, it seems Blood Shadow summoned you as well. Blood Shadow truly is a shrinking turtle. He does not come himself today but sends a few old dogs to die.” Li Feng sneered again, clapping his hands repeatedly. Massive palm strikes flew out one after another, aiming to exhaust the hawk-eyed elder with relentless assault.
“Li Feng, today this old man will tear you into ten thousand pieces.” The hawk-eyed elder roared in fury. While blocking Li Feng’s attacks, he countered with his own strikes.
“Tear me into ten thousand pieces? With just you? Do you have the strength?” Li Feng laughed coldly. “Earlier outside, there was someone called Duke Lao who also wanted to tear me into ten thousand pieces. Guess what happened to him?”
“Hmph.” The hawk-eyed elder snorted, his eyes narrowing.
He naturally knew who Duke Lao was. Duke Lao’s task had been to delay Li Feng’s entry into Fengyuan Group, but now Li Feng had arrived five minutes ahead of schedule. Could something have happened to Duke Lao?
Impossible. Absolutely impossible.
Duke Lao was from the same Enshrinement Court as him, with comparable strength. How could anything happen to him? Could Li Feng have killed him?
If it had not been for Chen Junyi ordering him and Duke Lao to come to Tianhai City and follow Blood Shadow’s commands this time, their original plan had been to capture Li Feng directly and easily obtain what they wanted.
But Blood Shadow refused to listen and insisted on elaborate schemes. In his and Duke Lao’s view, this was unnecessary. After all, Li Feng was so young. How strong could he possibly be?
“That Duke Lao has already been killed by me. You will be the second.” Li Feng said coldly.
“Impossible. How could you, Li Feng, have that kind of strength?” The hawk-eyed elder refused to believe it. He did not accept that Li Feng could kill Duke Lao. If Li Feng had killed him in such a short time, did that not mean…
At this thought, the hawk-eyed elder’s expression changed. He shook his head fiercely.
Impossible. Absolutely impossible.
“Li Feng, then I will kill you first.” The hawk-eyed elder roared, unleashing several palm strikes. Massive palm forces surged continuously towards Li Feng.
“Who kills whom remains to be seen.” Li Feng laughed coldly, letting out a long whistle before striking with his own palm.
Boom!
The two immense palm forces collided, creating a tremendous shockwave. It was as if the void itself shattered, producing a deafening roar.
The massive impact radiated outwards. The hawk-eyed elder was forced back a step, while Li Feng stood unmoved.
“This is impossible.”
The hawk-eyed elder’s face twisted in shock. He knew the power of his own strike, yet he never imagined Li Feng’s strength surpassed his own. He had retreated a step, while Li Feng remained steady.
At this moment, he finally understood why Blood Shadow had schemed so meticulously against Li Feng. With Li Feng’s strength, only by joining forces with Duke Lao could they subdue him. But Li Feng was not alone. They might end up with no return.
At the same time, the hawk-eyed elder felt both jealousy and hatred.
He had cultivated for so many years, yet he was inferior to Li Feng. Where could he put his old face?
With this thought, the hawk-eyed elder crossed his palms and sent wave after wave of massive qi-formed palms towards Li Feng.
“Old dog, you are courting death.” Li Feng sneered. His figure flashed, palms flying as he unleashed a furious barrage against the elder.
“What formidable palm technique.”
A trace of dread flashed in the hawk-eyed elder’s eyes. Li Feng’s palm strikes were endless, each carrying power that seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth. His own martial skills were decent, but compared to Li Feng’s, they fell far short.
What disadvantaged him further was that Li Feng occupied the fourth-floor stairwell landing, attacking fiercely from above while he stood on the stairs below. Li Feng held an excellent positional advantage.
Facing Li Feng’s onslaught, he could only defend with all his might. Even when repeatedly struck, he grimly endured without a sound, determined to mount a desperate counterattack and return all the humiliation twofold.
What he could never have anticipated was that Li Feng had no intention of prolonging the fight. While battling, Li Feng’s divine sense detected many people descending from above. He had no desire to be caught in a pincer attack.
Therefore, after several exchanges, Li Feng brushed his hand over his spatial pouch. A large sword appeared in his grip. He swung fiercely at the hawk-eyed elder.
Instantly, cold light flashed. Sword radiance manifested as a one-metre-long blade of energy carrying terrifying might as it slashed towards the elder.
“Damn it.”
The hawk-eyed elder’s expression changed dramatically. In the narrow stairwell, he had nowhere to dodge the sword radiance. Helpless, he could only unleash several palm strikes while retreating backwards.
Boom!
Palm forces and sword radiance collided in mid-air, producing a massive explosion. In an instant, the palm forces were cleaved apart and vanished without trace. The sword radiance continued unabated, slashing viciously at the hawk-eyed elder.
Pfft!
The sword radiance struck the elder’s chest, leaving a bloody wound. The elder grunted, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
The immense energy contained within the sword radiance injured his internal organs.
The hawk-eyed elder’s face turned deathly pale. He looked up at Li Feng, who appeared calm and composed, and his expression shifted.
He had never imagined he would lose to a young man, and so miserably at that. The wound on his chest made him feel his life force ebbing away. He knew his strength was far inferior to Li Feng’s.
“Li Feng, you have won. I will no longer be your enemy.” The hawk-eyed elder said. He knew he could not let Li Feng go, but with Li Feng’s overwhelming strength and only himself present, surrender was the only way to survive.
“No longer my enemy? Old dog, if you say you are no longer my enemy, do you think I will spare you?” Li Feng sneered.
“What do you want?” The hawk-eyed elder’s pupils contracted as he asked in a low voice.
“Hmph. You choose to be my enemy when it suits you, and when it does not, you expect me to let you go? Where in the world is there such a good deal?” Li Feng stared coldly at the elder. “There is only one outcome for those who make an enemy of me, and that is death.”
As his words fell, Li Feng stamped his foot and lunged at the hawk-eyed elder. The large sword in his hand slashed down from above.
