Chapter 276: The Plight of Humanity
In a conference room within the Mechanical City.
A smile appeared on Li Feng’s face.
But the smile on Victor’s face opposite him was even brighter. He was well aware of the speed of human evolution.
However, in less than a year, even if Li Feng’s strength had increased, it wouldn’t be too outrageous.
Moreover, with eleven other City Lords present, even if he couldn’t handle it alone, Li Feng would definitely not escape.
“This guy has a skill that allows him to resurrect after death. We can’t be careless.” At this moment, City Lord Bosel reminded them.
Initially, he had been tricked by Li Feng’s skill and held a grudge ever since.
“Hurry up and finish him off. He’s an eyesore.” Many City Lords spoke up, their anger towards Li Feng growing with each passing moment.
This was a thought that came from the bottom of their hearts. They really wanted to squash this little bug in front of them.
“Kill!”
Victor didn’t hesitate any longer. The staff in his hand shone with a terrifying light, and a pale red beam shot towards Li Feng.
The void twisted slightly. This pale red beam carried a strong corrosive power, even more potent than before. Victor had also made significant progress in his cultivation during this period.
“Slash!”
Li Feng stood still, not making any movements. He simply uttered a soft cry.
A seven-colored light bloomed on his fair forehead. Then, with a whoosh, the Sword of Life flew out, swift as lightning, piercing through the red beam. Carrying a terrifying momentum, it struck Victor.
Boom!
Victor’s throat was pierced by the Sword of Life, and then his entire body exploded. Blood splattered all over the ground. His death was extremely gruesome.
“Insolence!”
“Kid, you’re courting death!”
A series of furious shouts rang out. They hadn’t expected Li Feng’s methods to be so powerful and fierce. He had quickly killed a City Lord before they could even react.
And the power of that longsword made them tremble.
Bang! Cyborg attacked, throwing a punch at Li Feng. Cracks appeared in the void. The other City Lords also made their moves.
In the air, streaks of strange colors, like a heavenly blade, emitted an astonishing aura. They converged and bombarded Li Feng.
Crack! The void seemed unable to withstand this immense force and shattered.
“Annihilate!”
Li Feng’s expression remained unchanged. He used his mental power to control the Sword of Life, which shone with a dazzling light, like a star, colliding with the heavenly blade in the void.
Wala! A burst of radiant light filled the void, as if thunder was exploding. Electric light shot out in all directions. The ceiling of the conference room was blasted open. Before the heavenly blade could even get close to Li Feng, it was cut down and shattered like white paper.
“How is this possible?” The ten City Lords were shocked. Their combined attack had been easily broken by Li Feng.
Boom! At this moment, Cyborg’s fist landed. His eyes were filled with cruelty as he roared, “Without that divine sword, you’re nothing! Die, kid!”
He believed that Li Feng’s strength was entirely due to the Sword of Life.
Crackling
The fist landed in mid-air, and a burst of white electric light appeared, like small silver snakes, striking at Cyborg. The fist was directly electrocuted and exploded. Countless metal fragments flew out. Smoke rose from Cyborg’s head. He had suffered severe injuries.
With a loud boom, the void collapsed, engulfing Cyborg. He let out a shrill scream, “No—”
Li Feng watched this scene with an impassive expression. He had already set up a spatial magnetic field around him, and Cyborg had directly crashed into it, ultimately falling into the spatial collapse.
“Die!”
Then, he controlled the Sword of Life, like the scythe of the Grim Reaper, reaping lives. Soon, all the City Lords were killed by Li Feng.
In less than half an hour, he had already cleared a dungeon.
…
…
Outside the dungeon.
Liu Changyue stared at him with her mouth agape, saying, “Your speed is too fast!”
“I got lucky. They were all gathered together, so I didn’t have to waste time searching.” Li Feng replied, then turned and entered the next dungeon without looking back.
Li Feng’s speed of entering and exiting dungeons was very fast. Liu Changyue was initially shocked, but eventually, she became numb to it.
In less than three days, Li Feng had suppressed all the dungeons.
“I didn’t expect my mental power to be so sharp.” A satisfied smile appeared on Li Feng’s face. His efficiency this time was so high because his mental power, after being purified, had a wider range. Moreover, controlling the divine sword, he could easily kill dimensional creatures within eighty miles, if not a hundred.
This was a complete disaster for the dimensional creatures.
“Let’s go. It’s time to deal with Zhou Ping.” Li Feng said, quickly bringing the numb Liu Changyue back to her senses.
She nodded, following behind Li Feng with an impassive expression.
“What? All the Professional level dungeons have been suppressed?” On the first floor of the Sky Tower, the instructors were surprised to see Liu Changyue come down so quickly and hurriedly inquired.
As a result, they were also shocked. According to the information they had received, even if Li Feng could suppress Professional level dungeons, it would take a long time. Based on the number of Professional level dungeons in Sky City, they estimated that it would take at least a month. They hadn’t expected him to finish it in less than three days.
“It seems that Li Feng’s strength has made astonishing progress again.” This thought arose in the minds of many instructors. This was truly a peerless prodigy!
Hao Yun was also shocked. He suspected that Li Feng might even have the strength to contend with him. After calming down, he stepped forward to communicate with Li Feng.
The stronger Li Feng became, the more regret he felt.
“Who’s there?” Suddenly, Li Feng’s eyes turned to the Otherworld Continent dungeon. Just now, he had sensed a very faint fluctuation.
Hearing Li Feng’s shout, everyone looked at the Otherworld Continent, but it was calm, and there was nothing there.
“Li Feng, did you sense it wrong?” Hao Yun asked. As an assassin, he was best at concealing his aura and detecting others. He hadn’t sensed anything unusual at the moment.
“Yeah, maybe you’re just too tired from suppressing dungeons these past few days and had a hallucination.” Another instructor chimed in.
Li Feng ignored them. With a wave of his hand, ten Rx Pursuers appeared and rushed towards the place where he had sensed the fluctuation.
Boom!
Violent flames exploded, and waves of air surged, impacting the surroundings. However, where the small robots exploded, apart from a large pit in the ground, there was still nothing.
“Young and impetuous, unwilling to listen to advice.” Many instructors shook their heads inwardly.
Many people believed that Li Feng had made a mistake in his perception but was unwilling to lose face, so he made such a probe, only to embarrass himself further.
◈◈◈
Of course, no one dared to speak up, fearing that they might offend Li Feng.
Therefore, the surroundings suddenly fell silent.
Li Feng frowned. He couldn’t have sensed it wrong because he had indeed sensed a fluctuation just now unless the other party was extremely good at hiding.
He ignored everyone’s gazes and made another probe. Hundreds of small robots appeared and bombed the surrounding area, covering all the suspected areas.
Flames exploded in the air, like blooming fireworks. Many instructors felt a chilling aura from these flames.
They sighed inwardly, “Although Li Feng is concerned about his reputation, his strength surpasses the older generation. No one can match him. The younger generation is destined to be completely suppressed.”
…
…
Indeed!
After a round of testing, Li Feng’s eyes lit up because he had found that fluctuation again. Although it was very faint, it couldn’t escape his perception.
Shua shua
Fifty more small robots appeared on the ground, chasing after that fluctuation.
“Li Feng, the dimensional creatures of the Otherworld Continent are very skilled in spatial power. The fluctuation just now might have been caused by them.” Hao Yun organized his words carefully, offering Li Feng a way out.
The surrounding instructors also echoed his words. Even Liu Changyue tried to dissuade him.
“Found you.”
Just as the fifty small robots exploded, Li Feng shouted coldly. The Sword of Life shot out from his forehead, like a bolt of lightning, slashing towards a certain point in the void.
With a chi sound, like metal clashing, blood dripped down.
A figure really appeared in the void. Zhou Ping looked at Li Feng with a gloomy expression, saying, “How did you find me?”
Blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth, caused by resisting the Sword of Life just now.
“Zhou Ping, it’s him! How did he come out of the dungeon without us knowing?” Many instructors exclaimed, their faces turning ugly.
Hao Yun’s expression also sank. He hadn’t even noticed when Zhou Ping came out. This was too terrifying. If the other party launched another sneak attack, wouldn’t they be unable to defend against it?
And at this moment, everyone also understood. Li Feng had indeed sensed the fluctuation just now and made a probe, not for the sake of his so-called reputation.
This made them feel somewhat ashamed.
“I didn’t expect that I wouldn’t have to go in to find you. You came out on your own.” Li Feng’s tone was calm as if he had met an old friend.
Zhou Ping’s gaze was filled with intense desire as he looked at Li Feng. Although he had already transformed into a dimensional creature, he still wanted to dissect Li Feng and find his secrets.
Because he had obtained the bloodline of a god from the Void Clan to barely enter the Super God State. This bloodline was very precious, originating from a god. It was a treasure of the Void Clan. If it weren’t for opening the passage to Sky Blue Star, they wouldn’t have been willing to give it to Zhou Ping.
Thinking of this, he chuckled and said, “That’s perfect. I was looking for you too. If you have the guts, come in with me.”
Before he could finish his words, a sharp light pierced towards his throat. The Intimidating cold light bloomed in the void.
“Headmaster Hao, don’t be so impatient. I will have a battle with you sooner or later.”
The light was very fast, instantly piercing through Zhou Ping. However, the other party turned into an illusory figure and shattered. Only a voice remained in the air.
This scene made Hao Yun’s expression extremely gloomy. He felt that things were getting tricky. He no longer had any confidence in facing Zhou Ping.
Not only him, but the instructors present were also very uneasy. The other party had gotten close to them, and if it weren’t for Li Feng, they probably wouldn’t have noticed anything.
“Zhou Ping has escaped back into the dungeon and probably won’t come out anytime soon. I’m going in to deal with him.” Li Feng said.
Zhou Ping was very smart. Even if his strength had greatly increased, he wouldn’t clash head-on with many Awakened level experts.
“Isn’t that a bit risky?” Before Hao Yun could speak, Liu Changyue said anxiously.
Everyone had just witnessed it. The other party’s concealment ability was too powerful. He could hide from everyone. Although he hadn’t shown his true strength, he shouldn’t be underestimated.
Hao Yun also tried to dissuade him, “Rushing in like this, you might fall into his trap. It’s better to stay here and wait for him to come out. We can deal with him together.”
“I won’t do anything I’m not sure of.” Li Feng’s tone was filled with strong confidence, “Besides, if it weren’t for me this time, none of you would have been able to discover his trail. I can’t stay here for long. Once I leave, you’ll all be in danger.”
This was a big problem. If it wasn’t resolved as soon as possible, it might become a nightmare for everyone present. No one knew when they would be attacked and killed by Zhou Ping.
Hearing this, everyone fell silent. If something happened to Li Feng, they wouldn’t have to wait for Zhou Ping’s attack. The Luo family’s wrath would probably descend upon them.
“Mayor Luo has already agreed to this matter. If something happens, it won’t be blamed on you.” Li Feng knew what they were worried about and said.
In the end, everyone reluctantly agreed.
Then, Li Feng stepped into the Otherworld Continent.
…
…
Otherworld Continent.
“This land is now full of vitality. It’s completely different from its desolate appearance in the past.” Li Feng exclaimed.
Initially, he had absorbed all the spatial power here, causing the earth to crack, mountains to collapse, and rivers to dry up. But now, he saw a vast forest. The clear stream didn’t know where it extended to. Some collapsed mountains stood tall again, reaching into the clouds, a vibrant green. Everywhere was full of life.
“Zhou Ping, come out. I know you sensed me coming.” Li Feng didn’t walk around but shouted from where he stood. He was certain that Zhou Ping knew he was here.
In the void, a fluctuation appeared, like ripples spreading from a small stone thrown into a lake.
Zhou Ping’s figure reappeared. He was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and black trousers. His hair was dark, and he looked like a young man in his twenties.
“It seems you’ve gained a lot of benefits here, extending your lifespan. No wonder you betrayed humanity and colluded with dimensional creatures.” Li Feng said lightly.
“Ignorant.”
Zhou Ping sneered, “Humanity’s future is bleak, no longer bright. What I’m doing is for the continuation of humanity. Even if Sky Blue Star is breached, I can still survive, not reduced to a slave or food. Live a miserable life is better than the extinction of the race. I chose the right path.”
Hearing this, Li Feng laughed out loud, his tone full of sarcasm, “Turning cowardice into a grand theory. You are indeed a professor. I’m ashamed of myself. These are just excuses. You just want to seize benefits for yourself, selfishly.”
Hearing Li Feng’s sarcasm, Zhou Ping wasn’t angry. His expression was calm as he said, “You simply don’t understand how dangerous humanity’s current situation is.”
