Chapter 131: Green-Faced Ghost VS Green-Faced Ghost (Seeking Subscriptions)

"The Green-Faced Ghost has appeared?"

The crowd present was stunned for a moment, then a squad leader from the Inspection Bureau who was traveling with them immediately threw away the umbrella in his hand:

"Move!"

The inspectors in his squad also threw away their umbrellas one after another and ran toward the direction the sound came from.

"Brother Fei?"

Luo Hua and the others looked at Li Fei subconsciously.

Li Fei was still a bit bewildered:

The Green-Faced Ghost has appeared?

If you are the Green-Faced Ghost, then who am I?

"Move!"

He also threw away his umbrella and charged out into the rain.

The group ran through the heavy rain, with gunshots ringing out from ahead from time to time.

They were only one street away from the battle site; just as they rounded the corner, they saw a black figure rush out of a residence, followed closely by a group of inspectors wielding blades and guns.

The black figure ran toward Li Fei and the others.

Li Fei squinted to look; through the countless lines of rain, he could only vaguely see that the opponent's build was similar to his own, wearing a green mask on his face and holding a very common single-handed steel blade.

"Quite similar."

Li Fei muttered to himself.

"Fire!"

The squad leader leading them decisively pulled out the sidearm at his waist and fired at the 'Green-Faced Ghost' charging toward them.

"Click."

The gun did not go off.

Click. Click. Click. Bang!

It wasn't just this squad leader; the other dozen or so inspectors raised their Tiger-pattern rifles to fire, but in the end, less than half of the guns went off.

Although firearms of this era had initially acquired some degree of water resistance, the probability of malfunction remained very high when soaked in water.

On such a rainy day, since this group had just run through the rain, all the firearms on their bodies had taken in rainwater, which is why many failed to fire.

Moreover, at a distance of several dozen meters, with the heavy rain affecting visibility, the few bullets fired failed to hit the 'Green-Faced Ghost'.

"Use the crossbows!"

The leading squad leader turned his head and shouted to Li Fei and the others.

For this operation, the equipment issued by the Inspection Bureau to these Grade A students, in addition to blades and stab-proof vests, included powerful crossbows!

Firstly, it was considered that the enemy they might face this time could be a Martial Master, which was highly dangerous.

Secondly, because this heavy rain might cause the firearms to malfunction, equipping the Grade A students with powerful crossbows was considered a supplement and precaution.

Li Fei's side had a total of eleven students and was issued eight powerful crossbows, which was considered very "over-standard"—this was special care provided by Li Lei.

But in the haste, watching the 'Green-Faced Ghost' charging from the front getting closer and closer, these students were inevitably nervous, fumbling to string their crossbows, and their speed was actually slower than during their usual practice.

In the end, only Li Fei, Luo Hua, and another female student managed to fire their arrows in time, but the arrows of Luo Hua and the female student missed. Only Li Fei, with calm eyes and a hand holding the powerful crossbow that did not tremble in the slightest, aimed at the 'Green-Faced Ghost' ahead and steadily fired the arrow.

Three arrows shot toward him; the 'Green-Faced Ghost' swung his blade and swatted the arrows away.

"Draw your blades!"

The leading squad leader decisively issued the order.

His team members put down their firearms one after another and drew the blades at their waists.

"Get lost!!!"

The 'Green-Faced Ghost' who was charging toward them suddenly roared loudly.

This sound was like thunder, appearing particularly intimidating in the stormy weather.

From the Body-Breaking Realm onwards, a martial artist's essence of life gradually transcends that of ordinary people and evolves toward a higher level, possessing a momentum that is very intimidating to ordinary people; this is the awe generated by the gap in the essence of life, like a mouse seeing a cat.

By the Qi-Transformation Realm, after a martial artist stimulates their innate Qi, that inhuman momentum becomes even stronger.

So at this moment, in the eyes of Li Fei and the others, the 'Green-Faced Ghost' charging toward them with large strides no longer looked like a person, but a rampaging giant elephant!

Except for Li Fei, the minds of the others were shaken, and the group of inspectors drawing their blades all hesitated.

Slap!

A figure stepped heavily onto the ground, splashing a large amount of rainwater, and like an arrow released from a bow, charged toward the 'Green-Faced Ghost' ahead.

It was Li Fei!

Seeing Li Fei be the first to take the initiative to meet the enemy, the leading squad leader could not help but feel ashamed.

His own courage was actually not as good as a seventeen-year-old student.

More importantly, the one charging was the son of their own Grand Captain; if something happened to him right before their eyes, how would they continue to survive in the Inspection Bureau?

"Kill—"

He shouted and also charged forward with his blade.

The First Battalion was already the most elite team in the Inspection Bureau; many members had killed people and seen blood, so they did not lack the courage for actual combat. Thus, after the squad leader took the lead in charging, the other members followed closely behind.

But their speed was far inferior to Li Fei's, and they could only watch helplessly as Li Fei collided with the 'Green-Faced Ghost' first.

Li Fei activated 'Tyrant Body' in advance; his figure swelled and grew larger, the originally very loose white uniform of the Lecture Hall was stretched to the point of nearly tearing, and his height even rose to two meters!

His figure completely shrouded the 'Green-Faced Ghost' before him, and he slashed down vertically from a commanding position.

The eyes beneath the 'Green-Faced Ghost's' mask were cold and ruthless; without fear, he swung his blade from bottom to top, clashing with Li Fei.

Clang—

A large spray of sparks scattered, and the steel blades in both their hands snapped upon impact!

The 'Green-Faced Ghost's' movements did not pause in the slightest; he took advantage of the momentum to throw the broken blade in his hand toward Li Fei's face, while simultaneously stepping forward and punching toward Li Fei's chest.

However, before he threw the blade, Li Fei had already lowered his head and bent his waist, actively pushing his body forward, dodging the broken blade while also colliding with the opponent's fist in advance, causing the power of that punch to not be fully exerted.

The 'Green-Faced Ghost's' right fist shook, feeling as if he had hit a piece of elastic steel, and a massive force of recoil was sent back!

Not only that, Li Fei raised his arms, and both hands slapped toward his head from the left and right simultaneously.

Blue Hand—Double Peaks Piercing the Ears!

The 'Green-Faced Ghost' let out a cold snort, and green patterns appeared on the skin of his right fist, while a burst of vital yet extremely domineering energy surged out from his right fist, exploding against Li Fei's chest!

Hum—

It was as if a muffled thunderclap exploded between the two; where Li Fei was struck in the chest, his clothes shattered into pieces of rags like butterflies in flight, and countless raindrops were also shaken outward, forming a circular wave of water.

At the same time he was struck, Li Fei's palms slapped heavily together.

However, the opponent leaned his body backward, using the powerful force erupted from his right fist to retreat, dodging this Double Peaks Piercing the Ears technique.

Pfft—

Li Fei spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his massive body collapsing like a mountain, falling heavily backward.

The 'Green-Faced Ghost', leaning backward, did not feel surprised by this at all; he stepped heavily, using the strength of his waist to pull his leaning body back, and then continued to charge forward.

However, just as he passed the fallen Li Fei, a flash of blade light appeared!

The fallen Li Fei slapped the ground heavily with one palm, splashing a large spray of water, and the powerful explosive force supported his body to leap to the right, while his right arm stretched to the limit, the broken blade in his hand slashing rapidly toward the 'Green-Faced Ghost's' lower leg.

Swish—

Bright red blood mixed with rainwater splashed out; a deep wound was slashed into the 'Green-Faced Ghost's' left lower leg, with blood flowing freely!

He was both shocked and angry, stumbling and stopping his steps, looking at the "un-martial" Li Fei.

"Having been hit by my full-strength burst of Wood-Grade Qi, why is he able to recover his ability to move so quickly?"

Wood-Grade Qi is the most rigid and domineering type of innate Qi with wood attributes; the person struck would be paralyzed all over, so this 'Green-Faced Ghost' did not understand why Li Fei, who had clearly spat blood and fallen, could launch a counterattack so quickly?

Could it be that he was faking it?

This thought had just flashed through his mind when the fallen Li Fei rolled on the ground, the broken blade in his hand slashing toward the 'Green-Faced Ghost's' ankle!

Li Fei was using a technique from the "Ground-Lying Fist" of the Blue Hand, only he had adapted it into his blade technique.

After his "Hunyuan Tyrant Body" reached completion, he could freely control the Qi and blood throughout his body, so pretending to be injured and spitting out a mouthful of blood was not a difficult task. Since he could not expose his true strength in front of so many people, he could only try his best to use other methods to injure this 'Green-Faced Ghost' before him.

The 'Green-Faced Ghost' retreated to dodge Li Fei's second strike; in just these few seconds, the wound on his lower leg had already stopped bleeding.

"Super-speed healing?"

Noticing this scene, the name of a supernatural ability surfaced in Li Fei's mind.

When he had just slashed the opponent's lower leg, he felt as if he hadn't slashed into a flesh-and-blood body, but rather like slashing into a piece of dead wood; the resistance was great, which was why that blade hadn't injured the opponent's bone.

"It seems he is using a wood-attribute implant; that domineering innate Qi just now is most likely the second-grade lower-tier 【Kui Horn】."

Li Fei had a judgment in his heart.

He had already read the "Complete Illustrated Guide to Implants" given to him by Hao Yi over and over again, and had memorized the characteristics of all the various implants inside.

The 'Green-Faced Ghost' did not want to tangle with Li Fei and stepped forward to charge.

At this time, the people from the Inspection Bureau had already arrived; the leading squad leader swung forward with force, throwing a large net out, scattering it toward the charging 'Green-Faced Ghost'.

At the same time, several other team members also threw large nets toward the 'Green-Faced Ghost'.

These nets were used by hunters in the mountains for trapping; even a wild boar weighing several hundred pounds could not struggle free once caught. Using this to deal with a martial artist was a very effective method that had been verified in actual combat.

A layer of visible green Qi appeared on the 'Green-Faced Ghost's' hands; he struck out with both palms at the large net scattering toward his head, the fierce palm wind driving raindrops to shoot out like bullets, colliding with the net and exploding a large spray of water!

Several large nets were blown away, and the 'Green-Faced Ghost' stepped forward, colliding with several inspectors.

The leading squad leader swung his blade and slashed with all his might toward the 'Green-Faced Ghost'; the 'Green-Faced Ghost' did not dodge or evade, actually using his palm to meet the blade head-on!

The palm emitting green Qi struck the side of the blade, snapping the blade into two pieces, and then struck the squad leader's shoulder.

With a crack, the squad leader's shoulder blade shattered, and he was sent flying away by the palm strike.

After finishing off the squad leader, the "Green-Faced Ghost" charged into the crowd like a tiger among sheep.

He used his bare palms to strike hard against steel blades, his overbearing palm force snapping the blades and leaving the inspectors with broken bones and shattered tendons as they flew backward one after another!

Some inspectors were able to strike his body with their steel blades, but they encountered immense resistance, leaving only tiny wounds that barely even bled.

Up until now, only that one strike from Li Fei had caused the most damage.

In the blink of an eye, the "Green-Faced Ghost" broke through the inspectors' blockade, and then a dozen arrows shot toward him head-on.

Luo Hua and the others did not dare to step forward for hand-to-hand combat, choosing instead to fire with heavy crossbows.

However, this did indeed pose a threat to the "Green-Faced Ghost"; he swatted away the arrows aimed at his vitals with his palms, yet he was still struck by three arrows in the end.

Two arrows hit his lower abdomen, piercing through his stab-proof vest, but the wounds were shallow and had almost no effect.

But another arrow struck his left leg, which was already injured, causing him to stagger and slowing his momentum.

Rapid footsteps came from behind, and the "Green-Faced Ghost" knew from the sound that it was the young man who had injured him earlier charging over.

He twisted his waist and hips, turned abruptly, and swung his palm; his right palm was wreathed in green Qi, striking out behind him with the force of wind and thunder!

This was the "Pushing Over the Stele" from the Blue Hand, a move with very fierce and powerful force.

As the "Collection of Martial Arts Essentials" officially produced by the Great Blue Dynasty, the Blue Hand had always been highly acclaimed and was used by many martial artists. Because everyone had different implants and different extraordinary abilities, even the same move could be performed with different flair.

When this "Pushing Over the Stele" was used by the "Green-Faced Ghost," it carried the force of wind and thunder, and the fierce palm wind caught countless raindrops, turning them into sharp arrows that shot out; this palm strike actually created a pillar of water!

The "Green-Faced Ghost" looked as if he were using his palm to push a thick tree trunk to ram into Li Fei!

But the water pillar and the palm that followed closely behind both missed.

Li Fei, who had charged up from behind, suddenly lowered his head and bent his waist just as his opponent was preparing to turn around, as if he had anticipated it. He used the "diving tackle" move from the Blue Hand, not only dodging the opponent's attack but also wrapping his arms around the opponent's waist.

Li Fei exerted force to pull the opponent; because the "Green-Faced Ghost" had an injured left leg, his center of gravity was already unstable, and he was dragged to the ground by Li Fei, splashing up a large amount of rainwater!

After falling to the ground, the "Green-Faced Ghost" immediately exerted force to roll and try to shake off Li Fei, while Li Fei clung to him tightly.

Both of them had practiced the grappling and locking techniques of the Blue Hand, and their levels were about the same—very average.

Therefore, it came down to who had more strength and stronger explosive power.

In this regard, the "Green-Faced Ghost" held an absolute advantage, yet despite frequently erupting with Wood-Ether Gang Qi, he was never able to shake off Li Fei's entanglement.

Li Fei seemed to be able to predict the future, able to make preparations in advance every time to lock down the "Green-Faced Ghost's" outbursts before they happened.

Coupled with his "Tyrant Body" to tank the damage, he kept grappling with the "Green-Faced Ghost" on the ground like this.

Administration Building, Chief's Office.

Gu Zhenhui was grading documents as usual.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door, and then his secretary pushed the door open and entered:

"My lord, there is news."

"How is it?"

Gu Zhenhui continued to read the documents in his hand without raising his head, appearing confident.

"Everything is as you arranged. The 'Green-Faced Ghost' was hiding in Jiang Mingsen's private residence. Mrs. Jiang brought people to catch them in the act today, and they happened to run into him, which then alerted the inspectors searching nearby."

The secretary reported in a low voice.

"Hmm."

A smile appeared on Gu Zhenhui's face. "The Green-Faced Ghost was actually hiding in the private residence of an official from the Tiger Blade Gang faction. Now I want to see how Yu Hu will handle this."

"It's just... the Green-Faced Ghost was also caught on the spot."

The secretary said cautiously.

"Hmm?"

The smile on Gu Zhenhui's face froze.
