Chapter 152: Overthrowing Armies and Killing Generals

Yu Manor.

Yu Hu, leader of the Tiger Blade Gang, was practicing martial arts in his courtyard.

He practiced every morning and evening without fail, a routine he had maintained for over a dozen years.

Wealth can be exhausted, weapons and equipment can be damaged, and even loyal subordinates might betray you; therefore, Yu Hu knew clearly that in this world, the only things one could truly rely on and depend upon were one's own strength.

In the courtyard, Yu Hu's movements were not intense, appearing almost leisurely, yet a large amount of white steam constantly rose from his body, and the temperature within the entire courtyard rose accordingly.

After continuing for a while, Yu Hu stopped, walked to the stone table nearby, and took a few pills that had been prepared in advance.

"Leader!"

Just then, a subordinate arrived in the courtyard.

"How is it?"

Yu Hu asked without turning his head.

"The Qingyuan District, Kaiping District, and Jin'an District have all had movements one after another. The Private Secretary has sent out all the forces stationed on the perimeter, and now there is only one motorcade of guards left by his side."

The subordinate reported.

Yu Hu frowned:

"Are people really breaking out from all three districts?"

"It has been confirmed that no one has broken out from the Qingyuan District; the people from the Qingyuan Fist Stronghold are still in a standoff with the Inspectorate, and it was just someone deliberately firing shots everywhere to create a distraction."

"Understood. Report back immediately if there is news."

"Yes!"

After the subordinate left, Yu Hu did not continue his martial arts practice but sat down by the stone table.

His mind was somewhat unsettled.

For today's gambit, Zhang Mingze had utilized almost all the power of the Tiger Blade Gang.

With the gang's experts, hundreds of gang members armed with firearms, heavy crossbows, and even heavy armor, plus the people from the Inspectorate, the Stop-Conflict Academy, and the alliance with the Chief's faction, theoretically, no one in Xingcheng could oppose them, and it was impossible for Zhang Mingze to encounter any danger.

Yet, hearing the intelligence from his subordinate, Yu Hu still felt some worry.

He could understand Zhang Mingze's deployment; the opponent's move was an open scheme, and Zhang Mingze had to defend against it.

At the same time, he could also see Zhang Mingze's confidence: rather than choosing to return for defense, he would rather let someone find an opening, just to wait for them to come and kill!

Analyzing it rationally, even if Zhang Mingze only had one motorcade of guards left, it should be enough to block the Green-Faced Ghost's assassination, because the Green-Faced Ghost could no longer have any helpers.

But Yu Hu still couldn't help but feel a bit worried.

He had actually thought about following the motorcade to pick up Zhang Mingze today, but Zhang Mingze had refused.

"The Leader sitting in the rear, steady and unmoved, is the only way to show that our Tiger Blade Gang has more than enough strength and is full of confidence. This point is very important; the more it is a time like this, the more the Leader must be steady. Only then will the hearts of the people be steady."

This was what Zhang Mingze had said to persuade Yu Hu.

After the Green-Faced Ghost's indiscriminate killing spree, the hearts of the people were already somewhat unstable, so Yu Hu had accepted Zhang Mingze's reasoning.

And there was another crucial point:

"In this game, the Head of the Stop-Conflict Academy, Yan Yichen, has already entered the board. He is in the game, while the Leader is playing the pieces from outside the game; who is superior and who is inferior is clear at a glance. From now on, no one will have any objections to this, and the Tiger Blade Gang will have only one voice, which will appear even more powerful!"

This was the second point Zhang Mingze used to persuade Yu Hu.

It was precisely this second point that made Yu Hu completely agree with Zhang Mingze's arrangements.

The man always calculated everything like this, and he had never failed to plan for every contingency!

"I hope this time will be no exception."

Yu Hu looked in the direction of the motorcade.

Boom! Boom, boom, boom—

Just at this moment, a series of huge explosions came from afar, which even Yu Hu, sitting in the courtyard, could hear clearly.

He stood up abruptly from the stool, his eyes filled with shock and suspicion:

"Hand grenades? He used that crate of hand grenades!"

Yu Hu strode toward the courtyard gate, but stopped when he reached the entrance.

Even if he rushed back now, it would be too late; he wouldn't be as fast as the reserve teams on the perimeter returning for reinforcements.

He could only trust that Zhang Mingze's planning would have no issues.

"Use more strength, I'm still fine."

Li Fei, in the 'Blood Demon State', crooked his finger at Yang Xuan.

In the 'Blood Demon State', even without using 'Blood Rage', his strength was roughly equivalent to 'Blood Rage' using 7 blood souls!

Besides that, his speed, explosive power, endurance, defense, and other abilities were all significantly enhanced.

The steel armor implant in his body was also stimulated in all aspects under the 'Blood Demon State', thereby autonomously triggering the 'Tyrant Body'.

It was just that the Tyrant Body in the 'Blood Demon State' was stronger than in the normal state, and it no longer had a time limit; as long as Li Fei maintained the 'Blood Demon State', the steel armor implant's 'Tyrant Body' would always exist!

This was the reason why Li Fei could so easily block Yang Xuan's attacks.

The defense bonus brought by the 'Blood Demon State' itself, combined with the enhanced version of the 'Tyrant Body', meant this level of defensive power already allowed Li Fei to withstand pistol bullets, not to mention the damage absorption of the Ten Thousand Blood Pearl.

Under multiple layers of reinforcement, Li Fei was not only 'thick-skinned' but also terrifyingly 'hard'!

Under these circumstances, Yang Xuan could still cut two small wounds on Li Fei's arm.

One could only say... it was alright.

Vroom—

The roar of an engine starting suddenly rang out, and the 'Qilin' car that had been parked there suddenly moved, darting forward at extreme speed.

It was Zhang Mingze inside the car, seeing that the situation was bad, ordering the driver to start the car and run away.

As for Yang Xuan, he was naturally left behind to hold off the Green-Faced Ghost for him and buy time.

Yang Xuan felt no surprise at this; he charged toward Li Fei again the moment the car started.

His life had been given by the Tiger Blade Gang, and he had long been mentally prepared to return his life to the Tiger Blade Gang.

"Kill—"

Yang Xuan's eyes were wide with rage, his whole body wreathed in green Qi, as he pushed the innate Qi within his body in a way that exceeded his limits.

The innate Qi he practiced was the same as that used by the fake Green-Faced Ghost Li Fei had encountered before; it was the most overbearing Wood-attribute Yi Wood Gang Qi, but used in his hands, the momentum was much stronger than that of the martial artist from before.

Snap!

Yang Xuan stomped the stone slab on the ground to pieces, leaped upward, and swung his two battle axes with all his might toward Li Fei.

This martial artist, whose strength in the Tiger Blade Gang was second only to Yu Hu, slashed out two green crescent moons, incomparably brilliant.

Zhang Mingze sat in the car, turned to look, and then he saw a streak of blood-red rainbow pierce through the green crescent moons, and also pierce through Yang Xuan's body!

He opened his eyes wide, a look of panic appearing on his face for the first time.

"Fast, fast, fast! Go to Suhe Street at top speed!"

Zhang Mingze immediately urged the driver.

Suhe Street was closest to the Qingyuan District; by rushing there, he could meet the reserve team returning from the Qingyuan District the fastest.

Behind him, Li Fei, having erupted with blood-evil Qi and finished off Yang Xuan in one move, strode forward to charge.

In the 'Blood Demon State', the power of all blood soul techniques would be significantly enhanced; the 'Blood Evil' Li Fei cast by consuming 1 blood soul was equivalent to consuming 2 blood souls in his normal state.

Not only that, his body's endurance was also significantly enhanced, and the upper limits for using 'Blood Rage' and 'Blood Evil' were raised accordingly.

Just now, he had consumed 5 blood souls at once to cast 'Blood Evil', equivalent to consuming 10 blood souls in his normal state; the resulting blood-evil Qi was incomparably powerful, killing Yang Xuan in one strike.

At this moment, Li Fei consumed another 5 blood souls to activate 'Blood Rage', and a warm current like a raging sea surged crazily within his body, bringing him incomparably powerful strength!

Bang! Bang! Bang...

Driven by the powerful strength, every step Li Fei took made a heavy sound, crushing the stone slabs beneath his feet, and he left a series of afterimages, chasing after the 'Qilin' car in front at extreme speed.

The cars of this era had a top speed of no more than 50 kilometers per hour; the 'Qilin' car, because it had to be bulletproof, had a heavy body, and its top speed was only 35 kilometers per hour.

And at this moment, Li Fei was sprinting at full power, leaping over thirty meters in a single step, faster than the fastest car in this world!

Screech—

The sound of tires rubbing against the ground rang out; the 'Qilin' car slowed down to take a turn, and before it could accelerate again, the right wheels suddenly left the ground.

It was Li Fei who had caught up to the car, slammed into the door from the side, and then grabbed the car's chassis with both hands and exerted force, actually flipping the car over in one go!

Boom—

The 'Qilin' car flipped onto its left side, slid a distance on the ground, and finally hit a wall, collapsing it.

Li Fei stepped forward, grabbed the right door handle with five fingers as thick as radishes, and pulled upward with force.

Snap!

The door handle was snapped off the door by Li Fei.

Inside the overturned car, Zhang Mingze, who had just recovered from a serious injury, spat out a mouthful of blood; he looked through the car window at Li Fei outside, at the little giant with blood-red skin all over, looking like a demon king.

"This car is bulletproof, it can block it, it can block it! Reinforcements will be here soon!"

Zhang Mingze kept telling himself in his heart.

Boom!

The car body suddenly shook violently, and Zhang Mingze's body jumped along with it.

It was Li Fei smashing a heavy punch onto the car window glass.

This glass had been fused with the physical constitution of exotic beasts and could withstand close-range fire from rifle bullets, so it was not smashed.

"Hahaha! Hahahahaha—"

Zhang Mingze suddenly began to laugh crazily, then roared at Li Fei outside the window:

"So what if you've killed your way to me? You can't get in! My people will be here soon, if you don't leave now you're dead, you madman!!"

This Secretary Zhang had always been an image of someone who held all the wisdom in his grasp; this was the first time he had been so composedly lost.

Outside the car window, the pair of eyes beneath the black mask looked at Zhang Mingze inside with a mocking gaze.

Li Fei did not speak; he answered Zhang Mingze's words with action.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang—

A series of booming sounds exploded along this street!

People nearby, hiding in shops or their homes, witnessed this scene:

A little giant over two meters tall was using a pair of blood-red fists to crazily smash at the car that had overturned onto its side. With every punch thrown, the car would shake violently, and the ground would tremble along with it!

Li Fei's punches were so fast they left only a blur of blood-red afterimages; in just a few seconds, he had landed over a hundred heavy blows on the car window!

There is a famous saying that goes like this:

Although a bulletproof vest is bulletproof, you cannot keep hitting it with a gun forever.

Although a "simp" can endure hurt, you cannot keep breaking their heart forever.

By the same logic, although the performance of this "Qilin" bulletproof car is excellent, it does not mean its defenses will never be broken.

Cracks began to appear on the dark red car window being smashed, and then the cracks spread continuously, gradually covering the entire window.

Snap—

With a crisp sound, the rear window glass of the car was shattered by Li Fei!

Inside the car, Zhang Mingze, lying back on the seat, had been shaken until he was dizzy and disoriented; his injuries had recurred, and fresh blood kept spilling from his mouth.

But he still did not give up resistance; he had pulled out a pistol and aimed it outside in advance, and the moment the window shattered, he immediately pulled the trigger.

Bang! Bang! Bang.

Six gunshots rang out in succession as Zhang Mingze fired all six bullets in the pistol in one breath.

But these bullets were all blocked and deflected by a large, blood-red hand, failing to harm Li Fei in the slightest.

Zhang Mingze was completely desperate.

To think that even a pistol shot at such close range could not break the opponent's defense—what kind of monster was this?

The next second, the large, blood-red hand grabbed Zhang Mingze by the ankle and dragged him directly out of the car.

Now, Zhang Mingze had lost all his Wu Gong and was severely injured, leaving him with no power to resist.

He was quickly grabbed by the neck by Li Fei and lifted up, his feet dangling off the ground.

At this point, Zhang Mingze's life and death were entirely in Li Fei's hands.

In today's game, Zhang Mingze was the main commander, sitting in the center of the army and coordinating all sides.

Yet Li Fei had pierced through his defensive line and was about to behead this main commander.

On the battlefield, there is a legend of taking the head of a general from amidst ten thousand troops.

What Li Fei achieved today was no less impressive!

"I... I still... underestimated you too much..."

Zhang Mingze's face flushed red as he looked at Li Fei and said with difficulty.

This was the main reason he believed he had lost to Li Fei today.

He thought he fully understood the Green-Faced Ghost and had left behind enough guards.

But the moment he ordered all his peripheral forces to withdraw, his failure was already sealed!

Li Fei did not speak, tacitly accepting Zhang Mingze's statement.

Even without this "Blood Demon" transformation technique today, relying on the Ten Thousand Blood Bead, hundreds of Blood Souls, and the Nether Spring Poison he had concocted himself, he had the confidence to slaughter his way through the motorcade surrounding Zhang Mingze!

Having the "Blood Demon" merely made this task simpler than expected.

"Before I die, can you tell me who you really are? Who is the person killing me?!"

Zhang Mingze stared fixedly at Li Fei and asked with unwillingness.

"It has nothing to do with you."

Li Fei's gaze was calm.

The next second, he snapped Zhang Mingze's neck.

After completely killing this Private Secretary of the Tiger Blade Gang, he took a signal gun from his bosom and pulled the trigger toward the sky.

Bang—

A brilliant firework bloomed in the air.

On the North City Main Street, Shangguan Xiao, who had already regained the advantage relying on the Nether Spring Poison, saw this firework and a smile appeared on her face:

"This kid, he actually really did it!"

She immediately forced Yan Yichen back with a palm strike: "Zhang Mingze is dead; you have lost today's game!"

"Impossible!"

Yan Yichen attacked again with his sword.

But the next second, a powerful force swept toward him with the momentum of wind and thunder, and dazzling electric light illuminated the entire North City Main Street!

Boom—

Yan Yichen was sent flying back violently and could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

He looked at Shangguan Xiao with a surprised expression.

The opponent had actually been holding back!

"If I want to leave, I can leave whenever I want. Do you think so many people can keep me here?"

Shangguan Xiao sneered, then leaped onto the roof and left in the direction of the Qingyuan District.

"Chief?"

The others present looked at Yan Yichen one after another.

Yan Yichen's expression was uncertain, but in the end, he did not choose to pursue, instead ordering:

"Send someone to check if Zhang Mingze is really dead."

Yu Mansion.

Yu Hu had been waiting for news in the courtyard, and when he saw the cluster of fireworks blooming in the distant sky, a sense of foreboding immediately arose in his heart.

Soon, a subordinate ran into the courtyard with hurried steps, bringing him the latest news.
