“Blade Severing Heaven and Earth!”
Instantly, a one-metre-long blade light, carrying the force of thunderbolts, slashed towards the two black-clothed men with unstoppable momentum.
Boom!
As the blade light slashed out, its sharp edge seemed to split the air in the entire room in two.
“Not good.”
The faces of the two black-clothed men changed dramatically. The moment the blade light appeared, only one thought emerged in their minds: it was irresistible.
Without thinking, both struck out several palms in succession.
Boom!
The blade light collided with the palm forces in mid-air, exploding with a heaven-shaking roar. The entire room seemed to tremble.
Pfft!
Several palm forces were shattered. The two black-clothed men staggered, retreating several steps. A trace of blood seeped from the corners of their mouths. On the ground in front of them, a huge blade mark had appeared.
A chill ran through the hearts of the two black-clothed men. They had not expected that, even after using their secret technique, they were still no match for Li Feng, especially since Li Feng had already fought several battles that night.
“Run.”
The two exchanged a glance and shouted simultaneously.
This Li Feng was so powerful that probably only Lord Blood Shadow could rival him. If they did not flee now, they would die here.
“Too late to run now.” Li Feng sneered. They were dreaming if they thought they could leave.
If they had fled the moment they activated the secret technique, they might have had a slim chance of survival. But now, escape was impossible.
If he let them go at this point, would that not prove he, Li Feng, was incompetent?
Without hesitation, Li Feng threw two punches, forcing them to turn and defend.
Bang bang!
Though Li Feng’s punches seemed ordinary, the two black-clothed men were severely injured and had to defend with all their strength.
“Damn it, fight him to the death.”
“Li Feng, I will kill you.”
The eyes of the two black-clothed men blazed with fury. They had already decided not to continue the fight, yet Li Feng refused to let them go. Their lives still held much enjoyment; they had no wish to die here.
“Kill me? You can barely protect yourselves now. What makes you think you can kill me?” Li Feng sneered. He stamped his foot on the ground, closed in, and slashed once more with the broadsword in his hand.
“Ah.”
Old Wang let out a scream as Li Feng severed his neck. His head flew into the air. A jet of blood spurted from his neck.
“Li Feng, you will come to a bad end…” The other black-clothed man roared hysterically. The two of them together could not withstand Li Feng; now alone, he was certain to die.
“How laughable. You think only you can kill me, but I cannot kill you? Your Hongmen people truly are arrogant and overbearing. But let me tell you this: from the moment you chose to oppose me, your death was sealed.” Li Feng sneered, then slashed fiercely with his broadsword.
The black-clothed man roared madly, attempting a final resistance, but how could he be Li Feng’s match? He could not even break through the blade light and was directly slain by Li Feng.
Seeing Li Feng kill two ancient martial artists who had used a secret technique to reach postnatal eighth layer, Ge Feng and Ge Ying were filled with shock.
They had not personally witnessed Li Feng killing a postnatal ninth-layer ancient martial artist. The last time in the underground city, they had seen him kill a postnatal eighth-layer one, but it had been extremely difficult for him. Now, however, he could so easily slay two postnatal eighth-layer ancient martial artists, and this was after several major battles that night. How could they not be stunned?
Strong. Far too strong.
At this moment, Ge Feng completely abandoned any thought of competing with Li Feng. Compared to a monster like him, Ge Feng knew he could never measure up.
His gaze fell on the two dead black-clothed men, and his pupils contracted again. He had not expected these two to possess a secret technique that instantly raised their realm by two levels. Though he did not know the cost, if they had used it earlier, he and Ge Ying might already be dead.
Ge Feng inwardly rejoiced at their luck.
“Ge Feng, Ge Ying, how are you two?” Li Feng sheathed his sword and asked them.
“Not good.” Ge Feng frowned and said, “I am severely injured now. My combat strength is less than ten percent.”
“I still have about twenty percent.” Ge Ying replied.
“This time it was my oversight.” Li Feng felt some guilt. If he had stationed the Blood Kill Twin Eagles in Tianfu Building, this situation would not have occurred. But he had been too greedy, wanting to catch Blood Shadow and his group in one net, so he had only placed Ge Feng and Ge Ying here.
“Li Feng, this is not your fault. It is simply that we siblings lack skill. We also never expected so many experts in the outside world.” Ge Feng shook his head. He was a martial fanatic who loved battle. Though he had nearly died today, he felt no regret. In this fight, he had gained many insights. Even if his realm had not advanced, once his injuries healed, his strength would increase by ten percent. So he felt the battle had been worth it.
“Li Feng, we never thought we were so weak that we could not even help you.” Compared to Ge Feng, Ge Ying’s thoughts were simpler. She simply felt her strength was too inadequate to assist Li Feng.
“We should leave here quickly.” Li Feng said gravely.
“Li Feng, how are Tian Lang and the others now?” Ge Feng asked.
“They are safe now.” With a sweep of his divine sense, Li Feng knew Dark Tiger had already rescued Tian Lang, Cheetah, and the rest using his own methods.
“But Blood Shadow’s people will arrive soon. We should first rendezvous with Tian Lang and the others.” Li Feng said gravely.
Though gathering together risked being wiped out in one go, staying separate would allow them to be defeated one by one. Tian Lang, Cheetah, and the others, as well as Ge Feng and Ge Ying beside him, could handle ordinary opponents, but against Blood Shadow, it would mean certain death.
Moreover, Li Feng could not be sure whether, apart from Blood Shadow, there were other experts in Tianfu Building.
“Follow me.” Li Feng possessed the innate advantage of divine sense. In Tianfu Building, his divine sense was far more useful than surveillance cameras. Once deployed, the entire situation in the building appeared in his mind.
“Alright.” Ge Feng and Ge Ying supported each other and followed behind Li Feng.
While leading them towards the rendezvous with Tian Lang’s group, Li Feng took out his phone to contact Zhong Shuhui, hoping to learn the situation outside through her.
Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. His plan was to encircle and kill Blood Shadow’s group, but if the situation became unfavourable and beyond his control, Li Feng would cancel the plan.
In Li Feng’s view, plans were just plans. Plans could not compare to the importance of people. As long as his people survived, even if they could not eliminate Blood Shadow this time, there would be another opportunity.
Over the phone, Zhong Shuhui gave Li Feng a detailed report on the situation outside.
Hanging up, Li Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, everything was still under his control. The only unexpected development was inside Tianfu Building. If Ge Feng and Ge Ying had not been injured, with him handling Blood Shadow while they cooperated with Tian Lang and the others to kill the rest, it would have been perfect.
However, Li Feng felt he had been a little too greedy. If he had not been ambushed starting from Wangjiang Road today, facing several postnatal ninth- and eighth-layer ancient martial artists alone might have overwhelmed even him, let alone dealing with Blood Shadow as well.
Now, the only option was to buy time to recover his strength. Every extra minute increased his chances of victory.
Thinking of this, Li Feng narrowed his eyes as a good idea came to him.
Hide and seek.
Yes, exactly hide and seek.
Tian Lang, Cheetah, and the others, plus Dark Tiger and the Black Eagle team stationed in Tianfu Building, totalled only eleven people. Now two Black Eagle members had died in battle, leaving nine. Adding himself, Ge Feng, and Ge Ying made twelve in total.
Tianfu Building had fifty-six floors and a total area of over two hundred thousand square metres. Each floor contained countless rooms. Moreover, the architectural blueprints of Tianfu Building were in Mu Chunfeng’s hands; Blood Shadow could not obtain them.
So even if Blood Shadow now had over a hundred people, finding twelve individuals in Tianfu Building would be like searching for a needle in a haystack. Furthermore, the main control room was on the fifty-fourth floor. Access required Li Feng’s fingerprint, so even if Blood Shadow knew its location, he could not enter.
Li Feng also had an innate advantage: his divine sense. With innate-realm divine sense, he could anticipate the movements of Blood Shadow and his men, avoiding conflict.
Moreover, as long as he did not encounter Blood Shadow, he could kill anyone else in the building.
According to intelligence from the Shadow Tower, Blood Shadow’s strength was half-step innate. Thus, his aura would be the strongest in Tianfu Building. The one he truly needed to avoid was only Blood Shadow.
If Ge Feng, Ge Ying, and the others were not with him, executing this plan would be even easier. Alone, he could kill near Blood Shadow with a single fatal strike. Even a half-step innate expert might not catch him.
But whether Ge Feng and Ge Ying or Tian Lang and the others, all carried significant injuries. Their speed would be slow, increasing the risk of discovery. Moreover, without treating their wounds, complications could arise.
“Young Master Feng.”
As Li Feng pondered, they had already joined Tian Lang. His voice snapped Li Feng out of his thoughts.
Seeing Tian Lang about to speak further, Li Feng stopped him. “Follow me. Make no sound at all, and try not to leave blood traces on the ground.”
“Yes.” Tian Lang and the others quickly bandaged their injured comrades simply, then followed Li Feng.
While using his divine sense to monitor every move of Blood Shadow’s group, Li Feng led them to a bathroom.
“Young Master Feng, this is…” Tian Lang and the others looked puzzled.
Li Feng did not answer. Instead, he went to a corner of the bathroom. After operating something in front of a large water tank, he lifted it forcefully, revealing a pipe passage.
“This passage leads to the underground pipelines of Tianfu Building. Climb down immediately and use the underground pipelines to leave the building.” Li Feng instructed Tian Lang and the others.
