Chapter 334: If You Don’t Speak, Then Die!
“Is there such a possibility? To push one’s combat power to the Source level!”
After thinking for a moment, Li Feng shook his head, feeling that this was somewhat unlikely.
The gap between Destruction level and Source level was too great. According to the speculation of some scientists and experts on Sky Blue Star, once one reached the Source level, their life level would undergo a qualitative leap!
At that time, even the attribute panel endowed by the system would undergo new changes, and attribute points would no longer be able to measure the physical quality of a Source level expert.
He didn’t dwell on this issue too much. For the next few days.
Li Feng was cultivating. He was comprehending Sword Momentum, wanting to transform it into Sword Soul.
Although there was a high probability that Sword Soul could be extracted, he still wanted to get rid of his reliance on skill extraction and make further progress through his own efforts.
If he could succeed, he would truly be established in the Destruction Realm, no longer relying on forcibly pushing his combat power up.
And on the third day of his seclusion, a piece of bad news arrived.
Luo Yunyang, with messy hair, bloodshot eyes, and a beard that hadn’t been trimmed for a long time, came to the seclusion chamber.
“What happened?” Li Feng had a faint ominous feeling in his heart.
Luo Yunyang’s current appearance was really too haggard. There was a dark cloud between his eyebrows that wouldn’t disperse, as if he had aged more than ten years in an instant.
“Luo Heshen disappeared while tracking King Arthur,” Luo Yunyang slowly exhaled and said.
“Disappeared?” Li Feng’s expression changed drastically, and his bad premonition came true.
The Luo family had always relied on Luo Heshen for support, but now he had disappeared, and their deterrent power was greatly reduced. Presumably, Luo Yunyang was now under immense pressure.
He quickly asked, “Uncle Luo Heshen, how exactly did he disappear?”
Luo Yunyang’s face was full of sorrow, and he said, “A week ago, Luo Heshen’s team discovered King Arthur’s trail and pursued him all the way. They engaged in battle, and King Arthur’s strength seemed to be limited. He was no match for Heshen and the others, so he fled into the King’s Canyon dungeon. Naturally, Luo Heshen and the others didn’t want to let King Arthur go, so they followed him inside.
This information was transmitted a week ago. Originally, I wasn’t worried, but later, a Destruction level expert saw Luo Heshen being chased, covered in blood, and his teammates were all scattered.
Finally, Luo Heshen disappeared into the Overlord’s Forbidden Zone, and those pursuers, fearing the Overlord’s Forbidden Zone, did not continue the chase. Now, we don’t know whether Luo Heshen is dead or alive.”
“Uncle Luo Heshen is powerful and has great luck. Even in the forbidden zone, he will be fine,” Li Feng said comfortingly.
In fact, apart from some special beings, Luo Heshen’s strength belonged to the top echelon of Sky Blue Star.
Even when he sensed the unknown Source level expert in the Sea Eagle Empire last time, he still dared to make a move. If he hadn’t been worried about his safety in the end, Li Feng would have suspected that Luo Heshen would have directly charged at that Source level expert.
Moreover, every person who could grow to this level had astonishing luck and would not fall so easily.
“I hope so,” Luo Yunyang said, feeling a slight relief in his heart after hearing this.
“I want to go to the Overlord’s Forbidden Zone myself to take a look,” Li Feng said.
Luo Heshen was in trouble, so he naturally couldn’t ignore it. He wanted to go and see for himself. If there was a chance, he wanted to rescue Luo Heshen.
“No, Luo Heshen is in trouble now. You can’t afford to have anything happen to you either,” Luo Yunyang stopped him, his tone filled with weariness.
Li Feng immediately felt that something was wrong. His eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said, “Are there people plotting against the Luo family?”
“There are indeed some malicious individuals targeting our Luo family’s industries. However, they are very cautious and are only targeting the outer industries of our Luo family,” Luo Yunyang said coldly. Recently, the news of Luo Heshen’s disappearance had spread, causing a significant impact on their Luo family.
Therefore, even though he hoped Li Feng would go and save Luo Heshen, he absolutely couldn’t move at this moment. If Li Feng were to get trapped as well, the Luo family might instantly collapse!
“D*mn it.”
Li Feng’s eyes revealed killing intent, and he said coldly, “I didn’t expect that there would still be people daring to make a move at this stage. Uncle, do you know who they are?”
Luo Yunyang shook his head and said, “I don’t know. They have all concealed their identities, but they seem to be external forces.”
He also couldn’t figure out who had such great সাহস, daring to act like this at this stage. Weren’t they afraid of the intervention of the higher-ups of Great Xia Nation?
In fact, neither of them had realized that the waters on Sky Blue Star ran too deep. Some forces had infiltrated here long ago, becoming deeply rooted, and no one could uncover their origins.
Li Feng’s gaze was icy as he said faintly, “I will patrol Daqian City recently. I want to see who dares to make a move at this time. Whoever dares to move, I will kill them.”
This time, he was truly enraged. With a great enemy at the gates, there were still people causing internal strife. They were simply courting death. He was going to carry out a major purge, using blood to warn certain people.
Hearing this, Luo Yunyang nodded. The reason he came to him at this time was also to have Li Feng deter those petty thieves. Otherwise, before Luo Heshen returned, the Luo family would completely collapse.
…
…
That day!
Li Feng infiltrated the void, patrolling Daqian City in a concealed manner. He activated his breathing technique, and his entire being merged into the space. Even ordinary Destruction level experts would find it difficult to detect his presence.
His gaze was like a ghost’s, coldly staring at the ground below, like a judging Overlord.
At night, there were very few people walking on the streets of Daqian City, and the lights were not as bright as before. Because of recent events, many people were worried and rarely went out at night.
This situation was not only happening in Daqian City but also in other major cities.
The commotion caused by the appearance of gods was too great. The official forces of Great Xia Nation had no way to cover it up and could only announce some facts, telling everyone to be prepared.
“Sigh, I don’t know what our future will be like. I heard that a Divine Child might descend. I wonder if we can take refuge with them. Maybe then we will have some hope of becoming gods.”
“You’re thinking too much. Taking refuge with those so-called otherworldly Divine Children is equivalent to becoming a slave. Would you let your housemaid become a god?”
“That’s true. Moreover, the officials of Great Xia Nation have said that these people from other worlds have ill intentions and will harm us. I don’t know if it’s true or not. I’m planning to move recently, to go somewhere remote and live in seclusion.”
“. . .”
Below, some pedestrians were discussing, filled with unease about the future.
Li Feng glanced at them. Even his own future was full of uncertainty, let alone these people.
He searched one place after another, focusing on the Luo family’s outer industries. Until midnight, he found no abnormalities.
“Did they know I was going to make a move, so they are avoiding me in advance?” Li Feng wondered. He had learned from Luo Yunyang that every night, someone would attack the Luo family’s industries, causing casualties. Although the losses were not significant, this behavior meant that the Luo family’s influence was declining.
If this phenomenon continued, other forces would definitely think that the Luo family was declining and would pounce on them to take a bite.
Envy and jealousy were terrible things. He never underestimated human nature. Even with a great enemy about to descend, there were still people who couldn’t resist!
Around four o’clock in the morning, when the moon hung in the middle of the sky above Sky Blue Star, Li Feng finally discovered something.
◈◈◈
The coldness in his eyes became even more icy, like ten-thousand-year-old profound ice, and he gritted his teeth, saying, “No wonder I didn’t find anything earlier. So they were planning this. They are truly a bunch of bastards that deserve to be slaughtered.”
At first, he focused on patrolling the areas of Daqian City near the city walls. Some of the Luo family’s lifestyle industries were generally located in these areas, but they didn’t account for a large proportion.
Near the central golden area were the Luo family’s business locations that dealt with skill books, rare equipment, and other valuable items, which were the Luo family’s main source of income.
Those who were targeting the Luo family, after several days of probing, had become incredibly bold and started to target the Luo family’s core industries.
This filled Li Feng’s heart with anger and killing intent. He descended from the sky and entered a large shopping mall. It was in disarray, with some counters overturned and some vases shattered, porcelain shards scattered all over the place.
He could clearly see blood on the ground. Some people who served the Luo family had fallen to the ground, becoming cold corpses with twisted faces.
“No one is leaving here alive today. They all deserve to die,” Li Feng thought coldly, filled with killing intent. He decided that whoever participated in this matter must pay the price.
The second floor of the mall was where the precious items were sold. He passed through the hall on the first floor and soon approached the second floor. Some voices reached his ears.
“I saw this lightning-type skill book first. Give it to me.”
“What’s the hurry? The Luo family’s industries are not limited to just this. Tonight, we’ll raid a few more shops. Are you afraid you won’t find a skill book that satisfies you?”
“That’s right. But speaking of which, these people from the Luo family are really annoying. Luo Heshen is already missing, but they still can’t see the situation clearly and insist on resisting. Originally, with a great enemy facing Sky Blue Star, I didn’t want to stain my hands with blood. I wanted to save some strength to fight against the otherworldly enemies, but they insist on making it so b*oody. What’s the point?”
One person spoke with a smile on his face, but it lacked sincerity and showed no remorse.
“We still need to be careful. I heard that Li Feng is now holding down the fort for the Luo family. He has Destruction level combat power and shouldn’t be underestimated. After tonight’s job, I’m planning to stop,” someone said cautiously, afraid that Li Feng would come after them.
“What’s there to be afraid of? Those rumors are definitely false. A young man barely in his twenties killed a Destruction level expert? I suspect that Luo Heshen, foreseeing that his time was short, spread these rumors to intimidate us. We’ve killed so many of the Luo family’s people these past few days, and Li Feng hasn’t come looking for trouble. This proves that it’s just a rumor,” the person with a smile on his face said calmly, believing that he had seen through the truth and not believing that Li Feng could kill a Destruction level expert.
Then, to prove himself right, he added, “I suspect his disappearance was also deliberately arranged. In fact, he’s already dead, so they’re putting up this smokescreen to preserve the Luo family’s strength.”
That person was rambling on, but he didn’t notice that the surroundings had suddenly become quiet, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
“What’s wrong?” The person suddenly stopped and looked at the others. He found that the people who had come with him all had pale faces and were looking at the elevator entrance on the second floor.
He turned his head and saw a young man in his early twenties standing there, looking at them with an icy expression.
“Li Feng.”
Someone said in a trembling voice. They had already investigated everything before raiding the Luo family’s shop. They had seen Li Feng’s appearance in photos.
“Five people, very good. Tell me your origins, and I’ll give you a quick death,” Li Feng scanned them and said.
There were five people involved in the raid. Three of them appeared to be middle-aged, and the other two appeared to be young, but judging from their life source aura, they were also very old.
He didn’t say he would let any of them go. Whether they confessed or not, they all had to die. It was just a matter of dying quickly or painfully.
“Li Feng, you’ve come at the right time. I’ve been at the Awakened level for so many years, and I’ve even fought against Destruction level experts. Today, I’ll shatter that rumor,” the young man who had been rambling on earlier said, his expression very cold.
He charged forward with great strides, with green wind swirling around him, his aura extremely sharp. With the enhancement of the green wind, he was like a Heavenly Blade, and dense, fine lines appeared in the space.
“Li Feng, if you die here tonight, I think it won’t be long before the Luo family falls with you, and your family will be destroyed,” another middle-aged man said sinisterly.
He also made a move. Blood-red wings flapped behind him, and he turned into a phantom, slapping his palm towards Li Feng’s head.
Facing the attacks of the two, Li Feng’s expression was calm. He activated his breathing technique, and darkness spread from under his feet, instantly engulfing the two.
Bang! Bang!
The two were like stones thrown into the sea, instantly swallowed by the darkness without making any sound.
The remaining three people’s pupils contracted, and their bodies couldn’t help but tremble slightly. Someone asked, “Should we make a move?”
“Ahhh.”
“Ahhh……”
But before they could make up their minds, two screams rang out. The two rolled out from the darkness, their bodies covered with dense cracks, like about-to-shatter porcelain, blood gushing out. Their faces were twisted, as if they had suffered immense pain.
“People from the Liao family?” Li Feng looked at the middle-aged man. When the blood-red wings appeared just now, he felt a familiar sensation.
He quickly recalled that when he fought with Liao Jiangsheng at the banquet, he had used such a method.
“Die!” Li Feng pointed a finger, and starlight bloomed, shattering his head, blood splattering.
Since he already knew his identity, there was no point in letting him live.
This scene fell into the eyes of the remaining three people, instantly turning their faces pale.
“Spare me, I am willing to atone for my previous actions.”
Two of them couldn’t stand the fear and immediately knelt down to beg for mercy.
Li Feng ignored them. Tonight, none of these people would leave here alive.
He looked at the young man who had attacked him and said, “Which force are you from?”
“The people behind me will avenge me, Li Feng. You will also die a miserable death. You will also die.”
The young man looked at Li Feng with venomous eyes. Lightning exploded inside his body, burning more than half of his internal organs. He felt as if his body had been torn apart again and again. It was extremely painful. He was destined to die, so he cursed resentfully.
At the same time, he felt immense regret in his heart. He shouldn’t have listened to the rumors and come to trouble the Luo family. In the end, it was still because he was too greedy that he ended up like this.
“If you don’t speak, then die!” Li Feng was ruthless, and he stomped on the other’s head, crushing it.
Then, his gaze fell on the other three people. The latter felt a chill run down their spines, and a cold feeling rose in their hearts.
