Chapter 105: Blood Stains the Long Street

Li Fei drew his blade and sprinted down the street, then suddenly leaped out to the right.

Just as he leaped, three poison-tipped arrows were fired from the shadows more than ten meters away!

These were arrows fired from heavy crossbows; since the "Wolf Pack" could even acquire firearms, obtaining heavy crossbows was naturally even easier.

Li Fei sensed the danger through the warning from his "Steel Armor" and dodged in advance.

But just as he dodged the first wave of arrows, the Steel Armor inside his body shifted again.

A second wave of arrows was fired!

There were two people hiding in the shadows ahead, and both of them held heavy crossbows.

Li Fei swung his blade to strike at the three incoming crossbow bolts.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

With three crisp sounds, the three crossbow bolts were precisely deflected by Li Fei.

After breaking through to the Body-Breaking Realm, his physical fitness had improved in every aspect, his reaction speed was much faster than before, and coupled with his advance perception of danger, he could easily accomplish such a feat.

After deflecting the bolts, he stepped forward and charged toward the two people who had fired them.

These two were clearly experts with the crossbow; in the blink of an eye, they completed the series of actions: grabbing arrows, cocking the strings, aiming, and pulling the triggers.

The next second, six arrows were fired at Li Fei!

Li Fei only had time to swing his blade and deflect the three arrows aimed at his face, and was then struck in the lower abdomen by the remaining three.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

These three arrows pierced through the iron plate beneath his clothes and the stab-proof vest, stabbing into his body.

At close range, the power of a heavy crossbow is not much less than that of a handgun.

Seeing Li Fei hit by the arrows, the two crossbowmen felt a surge of joy, thinking the night was already settled.

Their arrows were coated with deadly poison; even a martial artist with a physique far superior to an ordinary person would soon be overcome by weakness and dizziness after being poisoned.

The two men each held a small round shield in one hand to block their fronts and began to retreat, intending to stall for time.

What they did not know was that although those three arrows had pierced the stab-proof vest, they ultimately failed to break Li Fei's skin.

Li Fei unleashed "Blood Rage," consuming 4 Blood Souls at once!

Snap!

He stomped heavily on the ground and leaped, instantly closing the distance to the two men ahead, then swung his blade from bottom to top, striking the small round shield in front of the man on the left with an upward slash.

Clang—

Sparks flew everywhere, a notch was cut into the iron shield, and the immense force nearly lifted the shield-bearer off his feet!

The shield in his hand was knocked upward uncontrollably, leaving his front wide open.

Li Fei twisted his wrist, changing the upward slash into a diagonal hack.

As the blade flashed, dark red blood mixed with some white fluid splashed out.

Half of the man on the left's head was cleaved off by Li Fei's blade!

Li Fei did not stop his assault; after the downward hack, he immediately twisted his waist and hips, driving his right arm to rotate, and struck the round shield of the remaining man with a horizontal sweep.

Another clang rang out, the round shield was likewise notched, and the shield-bearer was caught by the tremendous force, his entire body spinning like a top.

Swish—

Li Fei stepped forward and swung his blade again; a human head flew high into the air as he passed by the man.

After killing these two, rapid footsteps could be heard from both the front and back of the street.

"You've come quite quickly."

Li Fei shook the blood-stained blade, while simultaneously using his left hand to pull out the three crossbow bolts stuck in his stab-proof vest and throwing them to the ground.

After doing this, he looked up and saw five figures running toward him from more than thirty meters away.

So, he held his blade and charged forward again.

"Fire!"

The leader in front was none other than the "Wolf Pack" leader, You Lang; seeing Li Fei charging toward them, he immediately issued the order.

The other four who had come with him all stopped in their tracks and raised their heavy crossbows to aim at the charging Li Fei.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

Twelve arrows wove into a net, descending upon Li Fei!

Li Fei dodged to one side the moment the opponents pulled their triggers, while simultaneously brandishing his steel blade to fend off the arrows.

The first round of arrows failed to hit Li Fei, but the opponents immediately fired a second round; because the distance had closed, Li Fei's reaction time was shortened, so this time he was hit by an arrow in the chest and another in his left arm.

The arrow in his chest also only pierced his stab-proof vest and failed to break his skin.

But because the arrow in his left arm lacked the protection of the stab-proof vest, even though the Ten Thousand Blood Bead absorbed 99% of the impact, it still broke a bit of skin.

After reaching the Body-Breaking Realm, even without using "Tyrant Body," Li Fei's physical defense was far superior to that of an ordinary person.

The arrow jolted upon hitting his left arm and then fell to the ground.

Seeing this, You Lang in front frowned: "Is this guy using a defensive implant? This defense is too strong, isn't it?!"

Based on the Dragon-Tiger Fight earlier that night, he had assumed Li Fei was using a strength-type implant.

At this moment, Li Fei was less than ten meters away; the remaining four men decisively put away their crossbows and switched to other weapons, while You Lang suddenly raised his right hand, revealing the double-barreled revolver he had kept hidden behind him.

Bang!

The massive gunshot pierced the long street, making the night even more clamorous.

Li Fei had sensed the danger the moment You Lang raised his hand and performed a dodging maneuver in advance, and only then did the gunshot ring out.

He now understood more than ever why Hao Yi had said this Steel Armor implant's second transcendent ability might be even more useful than "Tyrant Body."

Because this ability could remain active at all times, allowing him to avoid many dangers in his normal state.

You Lang missed with the first shot and immediately fired three more shots in pursuit of Li Fei.

He was a master with a gun; his movements and reactions were fast, and his marksmanship was accurate. Li Fei dodged the first three shots, but the fourth still hit his thigh.

You Lang was using a double-barreled revolver, which could fire two bullets at once, so Li Fei's thigh was struck by two bullets simultaneously.

These two bullets broke his skin and were then caught by the Steel Armor implant tissue beneath his skin.

The injury was roughly equivalent to being lightly pricked twice by a small knife.

Of course, he still lost more than 1 Blood Soul instantly.

Li Fei did not slow down and continued to charge forward.

The four subordinates held shields in their left hands and blades in their right, actively meeting him.

You Lang retreated to create distance while quickly reloading his bullets.

The double-barreled revolver he used could only hold eight bullets at a time.

When he had quickly finished reloading and looked up, he happened to see Li Fei slash one of his subordinates away with a single blade strike!

In just that blink of an eye, two men had already fallen.

The remaining two were intimidated and shrank back, not daring to move forward.

Li Fei ignored them, covered the distance of several meters in one step, and swung his blade at You Lang!

"Why is he completely fine after being shot in the thigh?"

You Lang was both shocked and furious.

The muscles and bones in his arms hummed and crackled, and he raised the round shield fixed to his left arm to block the steel blade Li Fei was swinging at him.

As the leader of the "Wolf Pack," he was naturally a formal martial artist; only then could he intimidate those vicious subordinates of his.

Clang!!!

A large spray of sparks splashed up, a crack was cut into the round shield, and the muscles in You Lang's left arm rippled like flowing water, absorbing the impact force.

He used a first-grade superior water-attribute implant called 【Flowing Firefly】; its transcendent ability was to absorb the impact received and then deliver a counterattack, making it an implant that was both offensive and defensive.

While raising his left arm to block with the round shield, You Lang pulled the trigger again with the gun in his right hand, aiming at the thigh Li Fei had already been shot in!
