Chapter 53 Desperate Siege_2
Li Fei, wearing the Evil Ghost Mask, held his blade and faced this group of enemies with a calm gaze.
Baiyang City had actually prepared a decoy for him, leading the 'Beast King' to believe he was over there, but in reality, he had been hiding among the convoy all along.
This shipment was directly related to the survival of so many Exotic Beasts in the breeding farm, so naturally he had to come in person.
Although he had already killed eight Martial Artists, including one at the Qi Change Stage, as soon as he struck, Li Fei's mood was very heavy.
The number of attackers launching an assault on the convoy now exceeded two hundred. Li Fei had already sensed three Refining Strength Martial Masters and a dozen Martial Masters!
This force could not have been mobilized on short notice, it could only be the main force Yu Longqing had dispatched to ambush the convoy.
But if the main force for the ambush was here, what about Baiyang City?
Did this mean that the two layers of traps Li Fei had set for Yu Longqing had both been seen through?
Most importantly, did this mean that Yu Longqing knew Li Fei would appear here?
Li Fei stood with his blade, no longer attacking the enemies in front of him.
Because a formidable presence had locked onto him!
"Clap! Clap! Clap!"
From within the crowd, someone was clapping while walking toward Li Fei.
This person was dressed in a suit typical of the Western Countries, complete with a bow tie and leather shoes.
Such attire would be fitting at a certain evening party, but it stuck out like a sore thumb here.
He stopped about thirty meters away from Li Fei, which, for someone at the Tao Foundation Stage, was as good as being face to face.
"Green-faced Ghost King, truly impressive."
The man looked at Li Fei and praised sincerely.
Then, he placed his left hand over his chest, bowed slightly, and said very politely,
"I am Shangguan Xiao from Ximen Hui. This time, by the 'Poison King's' decree, I have come to take your life."
Shangguan Xiao!
Hearing this name, Cao Mu's expression tightened.
He was a Tao Foundation Stage powerhouse under the command of the 'Poison King' and was also the strongest combat force under the 'Poison King'.
If it were one-on-one, Cao Mu firmly believed the Fengyun List-ranked Li Fei could definitely win.
But the problem was, today's situation was orchestrated by the 'Beast King' Yu Longqing, and even the 'Poison King' had sent a Tao Foundation Stage powerhouse. How could they possibly give Li Fei a fair one-on-one fight?
"Shangguan Xiao, who has integrated three types of Implants and mastered the high-order Force of the Mountain and Sea Endless Strength, possesses one Core Level Extraordinary Ability, ranking at 3.5 on the Tao Foundation Stage."
Li Fei, looking at the person before him, quickly recalled all the relevant information about him in his mind.
Then, he ignored Shangguan Xiao and turned to look at another person in the crowd:
"With the 'Poison King' sending his man, surely the 'Gun King' won't be far behind. Do you still intend to keep hiding?"
"Impressive."
Another individual stepped forth from the crowd.
This man had an ordinary appearance, wore a helmet, and was covered by Anti-stabbing Clothes, holding a Rifle that made him seem no different from the common Gunmen around him.
But as he stepped forward, the Qi he exuded could no longer be concealed—it was as if a tyrannosaurus had suddenly stood up among a flock of sheep!
"Ouyang Cheng, tasked with killing you."
The man tossed away the Rifle in his hand and looked into Li Fei's eyes, saying calmly.
Ouyang Cheng, a Tao Foundation Stage powerhouse under the 'Gun King'!
The second Tao Foundation Stage opponent.
But everyone present knew that he wouldn't be the last.
Because the battle that had made Green-faced Ghost famous was him alone facing two Tao Foundation Stage opponents, plus the 'Poison King's' seven guards, surrounded by over a dozen exceptional Gunmen, and even a Tao Foundation Stage assassin lying in wait to ambush.
He had turned the tables and slain them all; thus, the lineup this time was surely stronger, not weaker!
Indeed, as Ouyang Cheng revealed himself, another powerful Qi burst forth from the crowd, stirring them into a commotion as they scattered.
A tall figure strode out, wearing a hat.
He casually threw the hat away, revealing a head of white hair.
This was a robust old man with an imposing aura.
As he stepped closer to Li Fei, his white hair gradually turned black, and the wrinkles on his face smoothed out.
When he stopped, he looked at least twenty years younger.
"Who are you?"
Li Fei eyed the man, "From the Chen Family?"
Lu Mengyang hadn't provided information that matched the description of the man before him, so he suspected that this person might be the reclusive Chen Family ancestor.
As expected, the man spoke:
"Indeed, I am Chen Junzhi!"
Chen Junzhi, the Chen Family patriarch, Chen Yujing's grandfather.
Feng Sanniang had only told Li Fei that Chen Junzhi was still alive but wasn't certain of his realm.
Now it was clear, the Chen Family patriarch had indeed successfully broken through to the Tao Foundation Stage!
Having removed the Implant and rebuilt his strength, Chen Junzhi had broken through to the Tao Foundation Stage in his seventies, and could already be inscribed into the history of Martial Arts of the Da Lan Dynasty.
And to think, during the moment when Chen Family Village was sealed and the Chen Family fell apart, he was able to remain hidden without making a move, which showed the strength of his forbearance!
"Good, by killing you, the Chen Family will truly be finished."
Li Fei said to Chen Junzhi.
Hearing these words, Chen Junzhi did not get angry but smiled and nodded:
"True, if you can kill me today, then the Chen Family will indeed have no hope left."
Having said that, he shifted the direction of the conversation:
"But if you are the one to die today, your Qingyuan City Management Company, along with your allies—the Li Family, the Zhang Family, Shangguan Xiao—all of you will only face the fate of being slowly butchered."
These words made everyone from Qingyuan Fist Village tense up.
Cao Mu and the other martial artists from Zhi Ge Court were equally worried.
They had chosen to side with Shangguan Xiao, and if Shangguan Xiao fell, their fate would not be much better.
"Old man."
Li Fei suddenly lifted the Ghost Slash Blade in his hand, pointing it at Chen Junzhi, "Whether I die today is not certain, but you will definitely die first, do you know why?"
Chen Junzhi narrowed his eyes but said nothing.
Li Fei smiled and gave the answer:
"Because you are the oldest here, yet the weakest in strength."
Indeed, it was inspiring to make a breakthrough to the Tao Foundation Stage at such an old age.
However, in the world of Martial Arts, it is not the wuxia premise where the older one gets, the deeper their Inner Strength becomes, so Chen Junzhi's Tao Foundation Stage could indeed be the weakest among all present.
Finally, a hint of anger appeared on Chen Junzhi's face, yet his Qi Cultivation Skill was truly remarkable, and he quickly calmed down, laughing:
"Fine, let's see who will die first today."
"Just with you guys?"
"Of course not!"
As his words fell, the ground suddenly shook.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom...
The crowd immediately became unsettled.
Everyone turned to look and saw on the other side of the road, far away, two huge clouds of dust appeared as if some colossal creatures were rushing towards them.
"It's Exotic Beasts!"
Cao Mu's face turned grim.
Soon, the footsteps halted, and the ground stopped trembling.
As the dust settled, two enormous creatures revealed their forms:
One was over five meters tall, covered in dark red scales, with a tiger's head and a pair of long, curved horns—a Demon Qilin Horned Tiger Beast, a high-ranking fifth-grade beast.
The other was covered in snow-white fur, with a leopard's head, a single horn, and a long, black tail that emitted flashes of lightning—a Thunder Light Snow Leopard Beast, also a fifth-grade beast.
Both beasts were reared by the 'Beast King' Yu Longqing.
He was different from the other 'Six Kings', who were recognized as 'Kings' after achieving fame and becoming leaders in their fields. Yu Longqing was known as the 'Beast King' from the beginning, for raising two powerful Exotic Beasts and for his ability to command them!
In single combat, Yu Longqing would not make it onto the Fengyun List of Feng Province.
But everyone knew Yu Longqing never fought alone.
When the 'Beast King' took action, he always brought his Exotic Beasts with him.
So the appearance of the two beasts also meant that the 'Beast King' Yu Longqing himself had come!
On this side of the road, where Li Fei and others were in a standoff, a figure appeared on the slope behind them.
The man wore a conical hat and was draped in a black cloak.
He took off the hat, revealing an aging face beneath—none other than the 'Beast King' Yu Longqing!
This was the first time in the past ten years that Yu Longqing had personally taken action.
'Poison King' sent Ximen Hui, 'Gun King' sent Ouyang Cheng, the Chen family patriarch Chen Junzhi, along with 'Beast King' Yu Longqing, made four individuals at the Tao Foundation Stage.
There were also two fifth-grade Exotic Beasts, each possessing combat power comparable to a Fourth Tier Tao Foundation Stage martial artist.
So in total, there were six individuals at the Tao Foundation Stage.
And considering the 'Shadow King' had already sent a Tao Foundation Stage assassin last time, could there be a possibility of another one this time?
That could potentially make it seven Tao Foundation Stage individuals banding together for an ambush!
Many among the crowd felt despair at the sight.
