Blood Shadow’s face was contorted with rage. He swung both palms fiercely, sending several waves of palm force crashing into the wall.
Bang, bang, bang…
The palm force struck the wall with loud explosions. The surface was scraped away as if a layer of skin had been peeled off, and the words were instantly erased.
“What did you see?” Blood Shadow’s gaze was icy as he stared at his subordinates.
“Lord Blood Shadow, we saw nothing,” the black-clothed men nearby hurriedly replied.
“Hmph.”
Blood Shadow snorted coldly, his eyes grim. “What are you still doing standing here? Go and find Li Feng at once.”
“Yes, yes.”
The black-clothed men quickly left the room. They genuinely feared that the enraged Blood Shadow might lash out at them indiscriminately.
“Li Feng, I will cut you into a thousand pieces.” Blood Shadow gnashed his teeth and roared in fury.
At the very moment Blood Shadow was roaring, Li Feng, who had just left, was enjoying a pot of instant noodles he had found in one of the companies.
“Blood Shadow, I didn’t expect you to lose your temper so easily. It seems I overestimated you.” Sensing Blood Shadow’s state through his divine sense, Li Feng could not help but give a cold laugh.
After finishing the noodles, Li Feng stood up and muttered to himself, “It looks like I should find another spatial bag when I get the chance. I can stock it with some delicious food, so no matter where I go, I will always have good things to eat.”
“But for now, let us continue this game of cat and mouse.” Li Feng gave a cold laugh and headed towards his next target.
At the same time, at the entrance to Tianfu Building, the fierce fighting was nearing its end. Although Zhong Shuhui and her group were not as strong as the several Blood Sand assassins, Lu Shuang was hidden among them. Even without revealing her Postnatal Realm ninth-level aura, dealing with these assassins was more than enough for her.
Watching Cai Die’s people being slaughtered, Liu Dongjian’s face turned livid from across the street in Tianfu Building. He had waited for Li Wu to act, but Li Wu had not moved, allowing Cai Die’s forces to be completely wiped out by Zhong Shuhui and her group.
If he had attacked immediately earlier, he might have joined Cai Die’s people to kill Zhong Shuhui. But now, even if he wanted to eliminate her group, it would come at a considerable cost.
“Damn that Li Wu. Why didn’t he make a move?” Liu Dongjian said angrily.
“Family Head, could it be that Li Wu simply does not want to act?” the elder beside Liu Dongjian asked.
“That is impossible. Li Wu is no fool. Why would he not want to act?” Liu Dongjian shook his head. The conflict between Li Feng and Li Wu was over the inheritance of the Li family. His own two sons had turned against each other to become the Liu family heir, let alone Li Feng and Li Wu. In such matters, there could be no retreat.
Even if Li Wu did not wish to fight Li Feng, Li Feng would certainly not spare him. Li Wu was no idiot; he could not possibly fail to understand this.
“Family Head, what if Li Wu is not unwilling, but afraid?” the elder suggested.
“Afraid?” Liu Dongjian was startled, a puzzled expression appearing on his face.
“Yes. Li Feng’s strength is extraordinary. He has killed several Postnatal Realm ninth-level ancient martial artists,” the elder said.
“That is possible.” Liu Dongjian’s gaze hardened. Li Wu had come to Tianhai City this time to represent the Li family in the city’s boxing championship. Given his status, he could not possibly have an Innate Realm expert protecting him; at most, one or two Postnatal Realm ninth-level ancient martial artists. But Li Feng was different. In Li Feng’s hands, Postnatal Realm ninth-level experts could be easily slain. If Li Wu feared Li Feng’s strength and dared not act against him, that was not impossible.
Yet could Li Wu not see what was happening tonight? This was clearly a trap set for Li Feng, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to deal with him. Would Li Wu really let it pass?
However, Liu Dongjian had never dealt with Li Wu personally and was unfamiliar with his circumstances, so he could not guess Li Wu’s thoughts at this moment.
“Family Head, what should we do?” the elder asked.
Now that Zhong Shuhui had appeared, although the situation inside Tianfu Building was unknown, if Li Feng escaped under her cover, even killing Zhong Shuhui and her group afterwards would mean the entire plan had failed.
“Attack at once. I want Zhong Shuhui and all her people dead.” Liu Dongjian stared coldly at Zhong Shuhui below.
Like the elder, he believed that no one connected to Li Feng could be allowed to remain at the main entrance to Tianfu Building. Otherwise, Li Feng would have a chance to break out. Moreover, Zhong Shuhui was one of Li Feng’s people. This time, he intended not only to kill Li Feng, but to eliminate all his subordinates as well.
As for the possibility of Li Feng defeating Blood Shadow inside Tianfu Building, Liu Dongjian had never considered it. He believed Li Feng could not possibly overcome Blood Shadow.
“Yes.”
At the entrance to Tianfu Building.
Zhong Shuhui slew the last Blood Sand assassin, glanced at Tianfu Building, and her expression grew grave. She did not know how Li Feng was faring and wanted to go check on him, but she knew she could not enter the building.
“Commander Zhong, what do we do now?” Cang Ying approached, carrying his blood-drenched battle knife. He looked at Tianfu Building and asked Zhong Shuhui, “Shall we charge in?”
“No. We still have enemies,” Zhong Shuhui shook her head and said.
“More enemies? Who?” Cang Ying was startled.
“Look. Here they come.” Zhong Shuhui pointed behind her.
“So many?” Cang Ying’s pupils contracted. Ahead of him, more than a hundred people had appeared, each one radiating powerful auras. None were ordinary.
“Commander Zhong, who are these people?” Cang Ying asked.
“I don’t know, but right now, they are our opponents.” Zhong Shuhui gave a cold laugh and said, “Cang Ying, prepare for battle.”
“Yes.”
“Lu Shuang, I will need you to act soon,” Zhong Shuhui said to Lu Shuang beside her.
“No problem.” Lu Shuang nodded.
At the same time, in the room where Cai Die’s group had been, Mu Jiajia saw the newcomers and her pupils contracted. “So many people. It cannot be Li Wu. Li Wu is from the Li family; he probably does not have this many subordinates in Tianhai City. It is almost certainly people from the four great families.”
Mu Jiajia had not expected her guess to be correct. There were actually others hidden in the shadows behind Cai Die’s group. Blood Shadow and his allies had planned deeply indeed.
But were these the only ones?
At this moment, Mu Jiajia hesitated. Although Zhong Shuhui’s side had Lu Shuang, a Postnatal Realm ninth-level expert, among the newcomers there might well be experts of that level. If he did not act, Zhong Shuhui’s group would be defeated, which was absolutely not what he wished to see. Yet if he acted now and there were still others lurking, what then?
“Fine. I cannot worry about that now.” Mu Jiajia’s gaze hardened as he said gravely, “Someone.”
“Here.” An Eagle Eye intelligence operative appeared behind Mu Jiajia.
“Pass the order. Prepare to move,” Mu Jiajia said gravely.
“Yes.”
Inside Tianfu Building, over the next ten minutes, Li Feng killed three more squads of Blood Shadow’s subordinates. Each time he slew the black-clothed men, he left a few words nearby. Whenever Blood Shadow saw those words, he flew into a terrible rage. On one occasion, a subordinate who had seen the words was killed by Blood Shadow with a single strike.
At the same time, after dozens of black-clothed men had been consecutively killed by Li Feng, panic spread among Blood Shadow’s remaining forces. Let alone facing Li Feng, after Blood Shadow left, they took the opportunity to hide in rooms and dared not emerge.
Li Feng felt no desire even to bother with such people. However, with these ten minutes of recovery, the true qi in his body had now restored to seventy or eighty per cent. He knew it was time to deal with Blood Shadow.
Otherwise, if the humiliated and enraged Blood Shadow left Tianhai City, it would become truly troublesome.
With that thought, Li Feng did not hesitate further. He went straight to find Blood Shadow.
“Blood Shadow.” Li Feng held his large blade, staring with a sinister expression at Blood Shadow in the hall.
“Li Feng?” The instant Li Feng appeared, Blood Shadow spotted him. His eyes were dark and sinister as he gnashed his teeth and glared at Li Feng.
“Our first meeting. I thought you, Blood Shadow, would be handsome, but you have rather disappointed me. Your looks are nothing special,” Li Feng said with a cold laugh.
Blood Shadow was a middle-aged man with a sinister, effeminate face and grim eyes, giving Li Feng the impression of a eunuch from the imperial palace.
Could this Blood Shadow be cultivating some kind of sinister, effeminate technique? Perhaps something like the Sunflower Manual?
“Li Feng, I didn’t expect you, idiot, to deliver yourself to my door.” A flash of delight appeared in Blood Shadow’s eyes. He had been troubled by his inability to find Li Feng, yet now Li Feng had come right to him.
“What, are you so surprised by my appearance?” Li Feng said with a cold laugh. “Blood Shadow, where are your subordinates? Surely they are not all dead?”
“You…” The mention only fuelled Blood Shadow’s rage.
“What, are they really all dead? Blood Shadow, the incident on Binhe Road last time, that was your doing, wasn’t it?” Li Feng asked coldly.
“So what if it was? It is a pity I could not kill Hu Yuanyuan. Otherwise, I would have let you watch your woman die before your eyes.” Blood Shadow took a deep breath to calm the anger in his heart.
“Hmph. That only proves you, Blood Shadow, lack the ability.” Li Feng snorted coldly. The Binhe Road incident was a lingering pain in his heart. Not only had Hu Yuanyuan nearly died, but he himself had almost been blown to pieces.
“Hmph. Li Feng, that was merely your good luck. I never imagined your strength would be so great.” Blood Shadow said coldly. Back on Binhe Road, he truly had not expected Li Feng to possess the power to kill a peak Postnatal Realm ninth-level expert. Otherwise, his plan that time would certainly have succeeded.
“Whether my strength is great or not, I do not know, but dealing with you should be no problem,” Li Feng said coldly.
“Deal with me? Hahaha. Li Feng, do you think you are my match? Although you can kill peak Postnatal Realm ninth-level ancient martial artists, against me you have only one path: death.” Blood Shadow burst into loud laughter.
