Chapter 192: Chapter 98: Wariness (Part 2)

A pitch-black figure laughed wildly, leaping across rooftops and quickly disappearing into the distance.

Behind him were two strong members of the Feihong Gang, their expressions grim.

They chased for a distance before stopping, deciding not to pursue further.

“Return, don’t chase.”

Ren Jie said with a serious look in his eyes.

They watched the black-clad figure retreat, their grim faces suddenly froze.

Under the moonlight, a pitch-black figure suddenly darted out from the darkness at an astonishing speed.

As the figure struck towards the black-clad person’s head, amidst the terrified gaze of the latter, the hand fell, and the sound of skulls cracking echoed.

Ah—

A piercing scream resounded throughout the night sky.

The black-clad person’s head was directly struck into his chest by the mysterious figure, and the body fell to the ground with a dull thud.

With a successful strike, the mysterious figure flickered and disappeared into the darkness.

Ren Jie and his companion exchanged a glance, shock and disbelief written all over their faces, with a hint of bewilderment.

“Let’s go, check the body, see who was behind this.”

“This person was at least a Qi Blood First Transformation expert. Losing such a powerful individual, the Xing Family is going to be heartbroken.”

Ren Jie’s grim expression vanished, and he laughed heartily.

He didn’t even need to look to know it was the Xing Family at work; only the Xing Family had enough powerful individuals to launch attacks in so many places simultaneously.

Whoosh whoosh—

Lin Zheyu tapped his toes lightly, moving swiftly through Songyi City, the wind whistling past his ears.

He was like a king in the dark, reaping one living soul after another.

Lin Zheyu used the Turtle Breath Skill to conceal his presence, quickly approaching with his masterful Golden Swan Skill, then activated three times the Qi Blood force to unleash an attack far surpassing Qi Blood Four Transformations strength.

Anyone he targeted became a ghost under his palm.

Even other martial artists at Qi Blood Four Transformations, or even five, could not achieve Lin Zheyu’s level of decisiveness and efficiency.

In the Qi Blood Realm, it’s said every three stages is a barrier. Upon reaching Qi Blood Three Transformations, there’s a significant leap in power, but the gap isn’t large enough for a one-hit kill.

Before learning the Mountain Shattering Palm, Lin Zheyu needed to rely on his Golden Swan Skill and go through a brief entanglement to deal with Qi Blood First Transformation experts.

After mastering the Mountain Shattering Palm, his attack power tripled at once.

Silently getting close to his opponent, and then using the Qi and Blood Burst Skill to swiftly approach and strike with the Mountain Shattering Palm when they least expected it, killing them on the spot.

“That’s the third one, does the Xing Family have so many hidden Qi Blood Realm experts?”

Lin Zheyu killed yet another Qi Blood First Transformation expert, his heart filled with some doubt.

However, he didn’t think much of it and continued rushing towards the next place where a signal was sent.

Killing a few more troublemakers was also considered repaying the favor to Xu Jingwu.

“Later, I’ll also stroll by the Zhao Family to see if there’s an opportunity to kill Zhao Guanbin as well,” Lin Zheyu thought to himself.

The commotion tonight was a rare opportunity.

In two days, he would be leaving Songyi City and, barring any accident, probably wouldn’t return.

Taking this chance, he could also accomplish what he promised Mr. Chen back then.

Rustle rustle…

In a certain forest within Songyi City’s inner city.

Several figures dressed in black dashed into the woods and vanished.

“It’s me!” The black-clad person said aloud.

“Why is it you? Where’s Zhao Chen? Wasn’t he supposed to act before you?” Another black-clad figure stepped out of the woods and said.

“How would I know, probably got held up.”

“Not just Zhao Chen; Han Liang and Xi Guang haven’t returned either,” another person said gravely.

“Pair up and check the situation separately. It’s been so long; they should have been back given their speed.”

The black-clad man with a shadowy expression said in a deep voice.

Soon, the figures of the six black-clad men vanished from the spot, heading towards the places where Zhao Chen and others had acted.

When Lin Zheyu arrived at the next location, the people had already fled.

The distress signals from all over the city made everyone extremely cautious, not daring to pursue too far.

“Go check out the Zhao Family.”

Lin Zheyu changed his direction, no longer heading to the next place for reinforcements, but instead towards Zhao Guanbin’s residence.

Zhao Guanbin resided within the Zhao Family mansion, where there were many strong members of the Zhao Family, who were also skilled in Poison Tao. Delving into the mansion carelessly might result in an unknown death.

Lin Zheyu didn’t dare to barge in recklessly and could only hide in the darkness outside to observe.

“Strange, didn’t this place also send out a distress signal earlier? Why isn’t it as chaotic as the others?”

Looking at the orderly Zhao Family guards patrolling outside, Lin Zheyu was somewhat puzzled.

Moreover, it seemed there weren’t any deaths inside. The experts who attacked the Zhao Family appeared unsuccessful.

“There’s Zhao Guanbin!”

“Too far, it’s hard to get to him, and he’s got strong men with him.”

Lin Zheyu looked towards the rooftop of the Zhao residence, where two figures stood.

The bright moonlight cascaded down, enough to easily recognize one as Zhao Guanbin.

The other person bore a strong resemblance to Zhao Guanbin; it was his brother, the current patriarch of the Zhao Family, Zhao Guanhua, whose strength had reached the Qi Blood Three Transformations level.

The Zhao Family’s strength was secondary; their primary means of attack was poisoning.

If caught in an entanglement, one could easily get poisoned by a moment of carelessness.

To deal with the Zhao Family, one had to execute a lethal blow; if unable to kill, one must never get entangled, giving them a chance to poison.

Tap tap tap…

A patrol team passed by, and the disturbances throughout Songyi City had quieted down.

Initially, the Feihong Gang was caught off guard, but by now, they’ve long responded effectively.
