Chapter 365: Home Infiltrated

~8 min read 1,470 words

Of the remaining two men in black, one had his dominant hand swiftly pierced through, and the other's right leg suffered the same fate.

They collapsed to the ground in agony, the weapons in their hands slipping away powerlessly.

Cheng Feng's figure flashed, and he arrived beside them in an instant.

With practiced movements, he dislocated their jaws,

ensuring they could no longer bite down on the poison sacs in their mouths.

The archer on the roof was greatly alarmed at the sight, realizing the enemy he faced was far more powerful than he had imagined.

He hurriedly adjusted his posture, attempting to loose an arrow to block Cheng Feng's pursuit while buying himself time to escape.

However, the moment his arrow left the string, it was easily dodged by Cheng Feng's flashing figure.

Immediately following, Cheng Feng's figure surged upward, charging straight for the roof like a hunting leopard.

The Master-level Void-Disrupting Step was not practiced in vain.

The speed of Cheng Feng was so great that the archer had no time to react at all.

Just as the archer turned to prepare to shoot another arrow, Cheng Feng had already arrived behind him.

A Proficient-level Water Arrow quietly took shape, delivering a fatal strike to his back.

The archer only had time to let out a terrified scream before his body was pierced by the powerful force of the Water Arrow.

He collapsed powerlessly to the ground, his eyes filled with unwillingness and despair.

Cheng Feng stood beside him, watching all of this coldly, as if watching a performance of no consequence.

Seeing the archer was dead and not moving, he collected the corpse into his Space Ring.

Only then did Cheng Feng take a deep breath, feeling the chill in the night wind.

This battle ended with shocking speed.

It was also a test of Cheng Feng unleashing his full strength.

The result was not bad.

Moreover, that person who looked like the leader said that people like him were Outsiders?

This novel term made Cheng Feng want to understand a little more.

His Water Control was a talent mutated from the Black Flood Dragon.

If he was called an Outsider by this man in black, did that mean there were others with such skill talents?

Cheng Feng did not know, so he specifically left two people alive.

Since leaving Qingxi County, Cheng Feng felt that this world was truly too vast.

He was still far behind in every aspect!

He had Babai take the two men, while the Mechanical Dog lurked in the shadows ahead to clear the path.

Cheng Feng could not wait to return to the Cheng Mansion to interrogate them.

"Clang, clang, clang."

Cheng Feng stepped forward to knock on the door, but there was not the slightest response from within the mansion.

The silent environment made Cheng Feng feel a trace of unease.

The moonlight was thin, barely illuminating the outline of the residence through the sparse clouds.

The night wind brushed past, carrying a hint of coldness and rolling up a few withered fallen leaves on the ground,

which made a rustling sound, adding to the eerie feeling.

Cheng Feng gripped his weapon tightly, his eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly.

Although the Cheng Mansion was not usually bustling, it should not have been this deathly silent, as if even the air had frozen.

How could the servants arranged for the night watch not hear the knocking?

He even smelled a faint scent of blood.

Although the scent was weak, it was enough to make him feel alert.

"Babai, Mechanical Dog, you two sneak in first and act with caution," Cheng Feng whispered.

Upon hearing this, Babai immediately pressed against the wall corner and moved forward silently.

Its footsteps were light, making almost no sound at all.

A jump, a step up, and a vault over the wall were all done in one fluid motion.

Meanwhile, the Mechanical Dog turned into a streak of light and retreated a few meters,

using a short run-up to leap over.

It instantly merged into the night, leaving behind only a faint metallic luster.

Cheng Feng followed closely behind but did not rush to follow up.

He found a hidden corner, concealed his figure, and began to observe the movements inside the Cheng Mansion.

In the night, the outline of the Cheng Mansion appeared even more blurred.

But with the help of the faint moonlight, Cheng Feng was still able to vaguely see several tightly closed doors and a few dim lights.

He was extremely anxious in his heart, yet he dared not act rashly.

He could only wait patiently, hoping that Babai and the Mechanical Dog could send back news as soon as possible.

After all, when facing an enemy in the dark, rushing in blindly without knowing the severity of the situation

was a consequence Cheng Feng could not afford.

Cheng Feng was also annoyed; having just arrived, why had he encountered so many troublesome things?

Was finding a Silver Body Technique like poking a hornet's nest?

Just then, a loud shout broke the silence of the night. "Who, who is there?"

A man in black flashed out from the shadows, his eyes sharp and his figure agile; he was clearly an expert.

He heard the commotion outside the window and immediately became alert.

He then struck out with a palm, the palm wind fierce, heading straight for where Babai was hiding outside the window.

Cheng Feng was startled; he immediately held his breath, his gaze locked tightly on the direction from which the sound came.

"Not good, that is where the inner courtyard family members are!"

Cheng Feng pondered to himself; apart from some maidservants, the only woman he had in the Cheng Mansion was there—Su Qing.

At the thought of the danger Su Qing might be facing, his heart ached as if pricked by needles.

"Damn it, if you dare touch a single hair on my woman, I will never be done with you in this lifetime!"

Cheng Feng swore secretly in his heart, a ruthless light flickering in his eyes.

Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps came from the inner courtyard; clearly, someone had been disturbed.

Cheng Feng's heart tightened; he knew the time was ripe and he could no longer continue to wait.

He took a deep breath, a look of determination flashing in his eyes.

His figure flashed, using the cover of the night.

Like a streak of black lightning, he sped toward the inner courtyard.

Although Babai had been struck by the black-clad person who attacked from the shadows,

it was, after all, not a creature of flesh and blood, so there was no gruesome scene of gore.

It was just that its chest had indeed been struck into a dent, showing the power of that blow.

The black-clad person watched Babai take the hit without a sound,

and sneered, "Good skill; no wonder you dare to ruin our grand plans."

Then, they attacked again.

Cheng Feng sped along the way, his heart worried about Su Qing's safety.

The night wind whistled as Cheng Feng's figure darted rapidly between the eaves and walls of the Cheng Mansion, approaching the inner courtyard silently.

Cheng Feng's heart was filled with urgency and determination.

"Su Qing, you must not let anything happen to you!!"

The chauvinistic Cheng Feng could not accept the fact that his woman might be insulted.

Along the way, seeing corpse after corpse in the Cheng Mansion courtyards, the anger in Cheng Feng's heart surged.

As he gradually approached the inner courtyard, he suddenly heard the sounds of intense fighting coming from ahead.

Cheng Feng was overjoyed, knowing that Babai had already engaged those black-clad people.

He immediately increased his speed, and soon, Cheng Feng saw the battlefield ahead.

He saw Babai locked in combat with a black-clad person; the opponent's figure was agile and their movements swift—clearly an expert.

Although Babai was valiant, it appeared to struggle under the opponent's fierce offensive, and every attack could only be considered barely blocked.

Moreover, there were other black-clad people surrounding Babai.

Cheng Feng's figure flashed, appearing instantly behind one of the black-clad people.

The weapon in his hand swung out like lightning, piercing directly through the opponent's chest.

The black-clad person's eyes widened, seemingly unable to believe what was happening before them, and then they collapsed powerlessly to the ground.

This strike left the other black-clad people shocked and fearful, followed by feelings of shame and rage, and they rushed to attack Cheng Feng one after another.

Cheng Feng, however, was completely unafraid; his figure was agile, dodging the opponents' attacks while launching counterattacks in succession.

The combination of various Master-level skills and the Water Control Water Arrow skills made it difficult for the black-clad people to parry.
