Chapter 305: Leak
“I can’t stay in this place any longer.” In the room, Li Feng looked at the dead bodies on the ground and sighed.
Those who dared to make a move in this hotel were most likely from the Tiger Gang. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be so bold.
He just didn’t expect that Lan Jie was actually in cahoots with the Tiger Gang.
As he left the room, Li Feng thoughtfully closed the door. Because the fight between them was very one-sided, ending in a crushing manner, the room wasn’t seriously damaged. Even the tables and chairs were intact.
He looked calm, not at all like someone who had just been attacked. However, his senses were sharp. When he reached the lobby, he noticed a subtle change in the receptionist’s expression when she saw him.
“I knew it!” Li Feng thought to himself. He then walked out of the hotel without worrying about anyone stopping him.
Because the three attackers had been very secretive, not wanting to damage the Tiger Gang’s reputation, they wouldn’t choose to make a blatant move now.
At night, the moon in the Metal Lifeform World was exceptionally bright. The moonlight poured down like a silver river, making the ground glow.
The nightlife in Dark City was much quieter than during the day, as it wasn’t very safe at night.
After leaving, Li Feng headed straight for the city gate. He glanced at the new talent on his attribute panel. It would probably take a few more hours to complete, and it was time to leave.
…
…
Inside the hotel!
After Li Feng left, the receptionist frantically made a call. “The mission failed. That person walked out unharmed.”
A cold voice came from the other end of the line. “No matter the cost, you must intercept and kill that kid. Don’t leave any survivors.”
If Li Feng got out and spread the word, the Tiger Gang’s reputation would instantly plummet, causing huge losses.
At the same time, he regretted being greedy for that bit of gold. However, there was still a chance to salvage the situation.
After thinking for a moment, he added, “Get Lan Jie to go too. He’s the one who caused this mess, so he has to clean it up.”
He then hung up and went to mobilize his troops.
…
…
Dark City, less than three kilometers from the gate.
Li Feng sensed something was wrong. It was too quiet here. Although few Metal Lifeforms were active in the middle of the night, there were always some who didn’t mind.
But now, it was silent. Even the sound of a mosquito flying by could be heard.
In the distance.
A Metal Lifeform whispered, “What’s going on? The Tiger Gang has mobilized their troops to block the gate. Are they going to war? I haven’t heard any movement from the other two major forces.”
“I don’t know. Maybe someone provoked them! But this guy is really bold. In this Dark City, the Tiger Gang is one of the most powerful conglomerates. Anyone who provokes them ends up as dust.”
The atmosphere on the street was very strange, making many Metal Lifeforms feel uneasy. They started talking among themselves.
Someone chuckled, “Forget it. This commotion should die down soon.”
Because in front of a behemoth like the Tiger Gang, any enemy could be quickly crushed.
…
…
Li Feng stopped in his tracks. From his position, he could even see the city gate.
But now, more than thirty Metal Lifeforms wielding gleaming broadswords blocked his way. These were not ordinary mechanical soldiers, but actual Metal Lifeforms.
Among them, Li Feng saw a familiar face. It was the ‘Lan Jie’ who had enthusiastically guided him a few days ago.
At this moment, Lan Jie’s face was bruised and swollen. Because of the failed assassination attempt on Li Feng, he had also suffered severe punishment. He looked at Li Feng with resentment and said, “Why didn’t you just die earlier? If you had died, I wouldn’t have suffered so much.”
Lan Jie was filled with hatred for Li Feng. If he had just accepted his fate, perhaps none of this would have happened.
Li Feng was speechless, then felt like laughing. Finally, he couldn’t suppress the killing intent in his heart. “You wanted to rob and kill me, and you expected me to just stand there and let you do it? Have you been eating too much metal? Is your brain malfunctioning and rusted? I’ll personally cut off your head later.”
He didn’t expect there to be such a person, completely twisted in his thinking.
Hearing this, Lan Jie’s purple face turned ashen. Then he sneered, “Big words. Let me tell you, I belong to the Tiger Gang. In Dark City, unless the other two major forces intervene, you’re doomed today.”
In fact, the so-called ‘guides’ in Dark City were all controlled by the Tiger Gang. Their purpose was to harvest the lives of these foreign Metal Lifeforms.
He often did these things, and because he had the backing of the Tiger Gang, he had never failed. So, hunting a ‘fat sheep’ like Li Feng was just a normal thing for him. However, this time, because he failed, he got beaten up.
He placed all his resentment on Li Feng.
“It seems you’ve done too many evil deeds and have no remorse. Today, I’ll deliver justice on behalf of the heavens.” Li Feng suppressed his anger and said. This was the Metal World, and he lacked empathy for such evil deeds. But now that it had fallen on him, it was his concern.
“It’s because you, you little bug, resisted that I got punished. Kill him. Don’t let him spread the word about what happened tonight.” Lan Jie said viciously. His eyes were filled with hatred, not at all like a child, but more like a demon crawling out of a sewer.
Swish, swish
In the eternal darkness, blade lights flashed. More than thirty people attacked at the same time. The area where Li Feng was standing was completely covered by blade lights, leaving no space untouched.
Li Feng’s expression remained unchanged. He stretched out his hand and squeezed forward. Space seemed to solidify. The surrounding blade lights froze in mid-air, stunning everyone present.
“Shatter!” he said softly. Space seemed to crack open with a hideous, ferocious cracks, extending towards Lan Jie and the others.
“No—” More than thirty Metal Lifeforms were crushed into powder by the pressure of space, emitting continuous popping explosions.
The ground was covered in white blood, staining the street white.
Lan Jie’s head was severed by the spatial force. Even in death, his face was filled with disbelief, as if he couldn’t believe he had died so easily.
In fact, he didn’t know that the person he had targeted had just killed a General-level figure not long ago. If he had known, he wouldn’t have dared to make a move even if he had ten times the courage.
Li Feng walked through the street. This time, no one came to stop him. He quickly walked out of Dark City.
He turned his head to look back. He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the entire city was shrouded in darkness, filled with a b*oody aura.
“I bet no one expected that one of the giants controlling the city was secretly hunting Metal Lifeforms,” Li Feng mused.
The path of evolution for Metal Lifeforms was too cruel. Thinking about it, the player system was actually not bad.
“The commotion I’ve caused should soon be discovered by Adams,” Li Feng thought.
Therefore, he wasn’t in a hurry to leave. Instead, he found a place not far from the city to set up camp in the wilderness. He had done this many times before in other dungeons, so he was quite skilled at it.
…
…
In a dark room!
There was a very tall Metal Lifeform, a full three meters tall. He had handsome features, but he had three eyes on his face, glowing red.
“A whole platoon was easily wiped out, and he still escaped?” he said in a cold, distant tone. “Send people to track him down. No matter what, we must kill him. No one can offend our Tiger Gang without paying the price.”
He felt a pang of regret. The Tiger Gang’s forces stationed in Dark City were not many. A platoon was considered a relatively important force. Moreover, every soldier stationed in the city was an elite.
◈◈◈
The Tiger Gang’s actions quickly alerted the other two major forces.
“The Tiger Gang has really stumbled this time!” Emerald Ridge and Lake Saint Lance were gloating behind the scenes.
The Tiger Gang’s dirty deeds couldn’t be hidden from the other two major forces. However, as long as it didn’t affect them, they ignored it. Now that something had gone wrong, they were happy to watch the show.
…
…
Beside a tranquil lake, willow trees were planted all around. Their branches swayed in the wind, shining like glittering jade.
An old man sat by the lake, fishing.
Suddenly, on the grass in the distance, a giant python was slowly slithering towards him. It was very eerie. If an ordinary person saw it, they would definitely be scared.
Because this snake was too terrifying. It had mysterious patterns on it, and its face was very ferocious.
“Xiao Xue, why are you here?” The old man sat on a stone chair by the lake and asked calmly.
Xiao Xue was the name of this giant python. If Li Feng were here, he would definitely recognize her. He had bought a lot of information from her a few days ago.
“I discovered something interesting. Do you want to hear it?” Xiao Xue asked. Her voice was very cold, not matching her appearance.
The old man smiled faintly. “You’re talking about the Tiger Gang’s setback, right? I’ve heard about it. But that guy is really capable, to be able to escape from Dark City. Perhaps we can recruit him into our Lake Saint Lance.”
He had originally thought that the other party would be intercepted and killed in the city. But the result was unexpected, making him appreciate the talent.
“It’s related to this matter, but that’s not the point,” Xiao Xue said. “A few days ago, that person asked me about Eden Adams. He seems to have some ideas, wanting to hunt him down.”
“There aren’t many people who would dare to have such thoughts. Perhaps the mysterious powerhouse who killed Utopia some time ago could do it.”
Li Feng’s original words had indeed fooled the giant python for a while. But tonight’s events exposed him again.
The giant python’s job was to deal with information. She was very sensitive to these things and discovered some clues from the spider’s thread and horse’s track; clues.
The old man fishing suddenly straightened up and said seriously, “Are you serious?”
“It’s just a guess. I don’t know if it’s true or not. But you seem to take it very seriously. Why is that?” Xiao Xue asked curiously.
The old man’s expression was solemn. “A few days ago, someone told me that Dark Thunder had appeared in the snowy area. And the place where that mysterious powerhouse and Utopia first fought was also in the snowy area. Think about it, why would these two fight?”
“Ember!”
Xiao Xue thought carefully and exclaimed. Only a benefit as great as Ember would make Utopia fight to the death.
In fact, the news that Ember had fallen into Li Feng’s hands had gradually been traced by some interested forces. It was impossible to keep it hidden forever.
Because General Dark Thunder had been pursued by various forces, his continued absence had already aroused suspicion.
“You’re saying that Ember might have fallen into the hands of that mysterious powerhouse. Then should we act immediately and send people to capture him?” Xiao Xue continued, her expression very excited. If they could capture Li Feng, they might be able to seize Ember without anyone knowing.
The old man said, “We’ll act, but we can follow behind the Tiger Gang and intercept them at the last moment. This way, no one will know that we got Ember.”
Xiao Xue’s large eyes lit up. But then she said, “But what if the Tiger Gang is no match for him?”
The old man: “. . .”
Right, how could he have not thought of that? The other party was someone who could kill Utopia. Even Dark Thunder had died at his hands. What if they were no match?
Finally, he said helplessly, “Let’s act first. I’ll intervene at the appropriate time.”
Xiao Xue nodded and then retreated to start making arrangements.
…
…
In the wilderness.
Li Feng didn’t know that his actions had leaked a lot of information. But even if he knew, he wouldn’t care.
His new talent had completely formed.
Talent: 【 Armed Armor 】
Li Feng focused on it. Like Spatial Molecules, this talent didn’t have an explanation. He had to test it himself.
He stood on a huge rock and started to circulate his ‘Mechanical Heart’ breathing technique!
【 Ding, lacking armor material, unable to perform effective conversion. 】
A notification sounded, making Li Feng’s expression freeze. “Armor material? What’s that?”
The name of this talent was the same as he had expected. He was very satisfied. But he didn’t expect such a problem to arise when he tried to use it.
“Boss, maybe you can try summoning some Rx Pursuers?” Xiao Ling suggested from the side.
“Rx Pursuer!”
Li Feng was stunned for a moment, then immediately summoned ten Rx Pursuers. Then, he circulated his breathing technique.
Crack, crack
On the ground, the Rx Pursuers continuously transformed and fused, eventually forming a cold black mask that covered his face.
Dong, dong Li Feng tapped the mask. It made a loud, strange sound, seeming to be able to vibrate one’s spirit.
Then, he summoned about one hundred and twenty more Rx Pursuers to complete the full body coverage.
It was a set of black armor with mysterious patterns on its surface, looking very enigmatic.
Boom, boom!
“What? It actually broke through ten times the speed of sound!” Li Feng was surprised. He tried to warm up while wearing the Armed Armor. He had thought that wearing armor would slow him down, but his speed had actually increased.
He ran across the ground, the air exploding around him. Trees and boulders that he touched were instantly turned into dust.
This set of Armed Armor greatly enhanced his mobility. Then, he tested its other functions. He punched towards a mountain several hundred meters high. Black light shone from his fist, and energy surged out like a nuclear bomb exploding.
