Chapter 197

Li Fei took a bottle of elixir from his bosom and poured all the elixir in the bottle directly into his mouth.

This was Iron Sand Qi-Replenishing Elixir, specifically used to restore metal-attribute innate Qi.

However, the medicinal properties of this elixir were too fierce and would cause certain damage to the implants, so it was not suitable for excessive consumption.

But for Li Fei, who had the Ten Thousand Blood Pearl, he only cared about the medicinal effect; as for the damage caused to the human body, he actually hoped it would be as great as possible.

Swallowing over a dozen Iron Sand Qi-Replenishing Elixirs in one breath, the 【Steel Armor】 implant inside Li Fei, which had already entered a state of fatigue, quickly recovered its vitality, and Li Fei himself also recovered a portion of his physical strength and energy.

Innate Qi requires the human body to also provide energy, so this elixir was not just to replenish vitality for the implants.

Standing in place for a while, waiting until a portion of his innate Qi had recovered, Li Fei ran quickly to pick up Yu Longqing's head.

Then, he carried this head and rushed quickly toward the location of the motorcade.

From the time he lured away the several Foundation Establishment powerhouses and two exotic beasts to the time the battle ended and he began to return, the total time taken was less than ten minutes.

And in these less than ten minutes, on the highway, the two sides had killed each other until blood flowed like a river, and over fifty people had already fallen!

On the side of the Qingyuan City Management Company, the main force this time was the people from the Qingyuan Fist Village; although these people had followed Shangguan Xiao for many years and were supported by large amounts of money on weekdays, very few could truly fight to the death for the company.

Only a few leaders like Xiang Du were taking the lead in fighting to the death.

So even though the battle had only been going on for a few minutes, in a situation of comprehensive disadvantage and continuously increasing casualties, the Qingyuan City Management Company was already on the verge of collapse.

If it weren't for Zhao Yi using her gun to kill over twenty of the opponent's martial artists, the Qingyuan City Management Company would have collapsed even faster!

Seeing that some people had already begun to flee, Zhao Yi, who had been hiding behind the dirt slope firing cold shots, dropped the rifle in her hand and also intended to withdraw.

She ran quickly toward the motorcade blocking the road in front, intending to hijack an enemy vehicle.

Just as she set her sights on a car and prepared to take action, a voice rolled over from afar:

"Yu Longqing is dead—"

"Hmm?"

Zhao Yi suddenly raised her head to look in the direction the voice came from, only able to vaguely see a black dot in the wind and sand in the distance.

"Could it be..."

"Yu Longqing is dead!!!"

The voice came again.

This time it was clearer and louder, allowing most people on the battlefield to hear it.

"What's the situation?"

"Did he say the Beast King is dead?"

"How is that possible?!"

"..."

The people under the "Beast King" were half-believing, but all were hesitant, and their offensive slowed down.

"Yu Longqing is dead!!!"

The voice came for the third time.

This time, it rang in the ears of everyone present like a thunderclap!

Everyone stopped their movements and turned to look at the figure galloping toward this side.

"It's the Green-Faced Ghost!"

"It's Ghost Master!"

"Ghost Master won!"

"Ghost Master killed the Beast King!"

"..."

In an instant, the people of the Qingyuan City Management Company, who had already begun to collapse, suddenly had their morale greatly boosted!

Meanwhile, the people of the other three forces became restless, somewhat unable to believe it.

Four Foundation Establishment powerhouses plus two exotic beasts, with the "Beast King" taking action personally—such a lineup had actually lost?!

In the blink of an eye, that figure had already charged to the vicinity.

Whether it was true or false, no one dared to face the Green-Faced Ghost head-on at this time, so the people belonging to the three forces nearby retreated one after another, hiding far away.

Slap!

Li Fei stepped heavily on the ground, causing the mud to collapse downward, then skimmed over the distance of dozens of meters like a meteor, leaping onto the roof of a heavy truck.

He held Yu Longqing's head high with one hand and shouted loudly:

"Yu Longqing is dead—"

The martial artists nearby all had good eyesight and saw at a glance that the head Li Fei was holding was indeed Yu Longqing's.

This time, the people on the "Beast King's" side couldn't hold on, and two Strength-Refining martial masters turned and ran.

With these two taking the lead, the remaining martial masters and Body Breaking martial artists also scattered and fled one after another.

Seeing that the people on the "Beast King's" side had all fled, the remaining people from the "Poison King" and "Cannon King" did not hesitate anymore and hurriedly began to run.

Thus, in the blink of an eye, the enemy martial artists had run away completely!

Without martial artists, the remaining hundred-plus gunmen had no more fighting spirit, only regretting that they hadn't run fast enough.

Li Fei did not order a pursuit of these people, because he could see that his own subordinates had also reached their limits.

As for himself, the portion of innate Qi he had just recovered had all been consumed on the journey back; at the moment, he was just an empty shell; if the people from the three forces hadn't fled just now and had chosen to continue fighting to the death...

What seven Foundation Establishment combat powers hadn't been able to achieve might have finally been achieved by them!

However, such a thing ultimately didn't happen; the Green-Faced Ghost, holding Yu Longqing's head high, looked unscathed and had a terrifying aura.

Everyone was just working for a salary; who would be willing to risk their life?

A moment later, the enemies all retreated, leaving behind a ground full of corpses.

Li Fei stood on the truck, looking around the entire field.

Everyone present also looked up at him, their gazes filled with worship and awe.

This was the first time Li Fei had fought side-by-side with his subordinates in the identity of the Green-Faced Ghost.

He held Yu Longqing's head high again and said word by word:

"We won!!!"

Everyone present was silent at first, then roared loudly one after another.

In this roar, there was the wild joy of surviving a disaster, the respect for the Green-Faced Ghost, and the pride of having followed the right boss.

Because what Li Fei said was "We won."

Yes, they had faced the encirclement and killing of the three major forces of the Datong Prefecture—the "Beast King," "Poison King," and "Cannon King"—and had ultimately won this battle!

Next, everyone began to clean up the battlefield, treating the wounded, burying the enemy's corpses on the spot, and collecting their own people's corpses to bring back. Some car tires had been blown out and needed to be replaced...

Li Fei also led a team back to the place where he had fought before, dragging the corpses of the two exotic beasts back.

Both of these exotic beasts were Grade 5 superior; it could be said that their whole bodies were treasures!

Their bodies could be used to craft Grade 5 superior implants, and could also refine at least two Grade 5 exotic weapons, as well as several pieces of Grade 5 protective clothing!

In this battle, the Level 4 protective clothing on Li Fei's body had been mostly damaged and could no longer be worn, so he could just happen to change into a better one.

Besides that, the Ten Thousand Blood Pearl had absorbed a large amount of energy in this battle, and the accumulated energy value had reached 93%, not far from upgrading again.

March 30th, 9:14 PM.

A fully loaded motorcade arrived at the exotic beast farm on the outskirts of Xingcheng.

Because the vehicles were somewhat damaged, plus the extra load of the two exotic beasts weighing over 10 tons, the motorcade arrived more than ten hours later than expected.

Fortunately, it had arrived safely in the end.

The exotic beast farm had long been prepared, beginning to unload the cargo in an orderly manner, and then quickly sending the rations to those exotic beasts that had long been hungry and rumbling.

Over an hour later, the motorcade set off again, driving into Xingcheng.

Just in case, Li Fei decided to store most of the rations in a warehouse inside the city.

The corpses of the Thunder-Light Snow Leopard Beast and the Magic-Scale Horned Tiger Beast naturally also had to be stored inside the city. Later, professionals would be contacted to process the corpses, which would be used to refine exotic weapons and protective clothing.

After the motorcade entered the city, Li Fei went to the Qingyuan Fist Village first.

Nowadays, the headquarters of the Qingyuan City Management Company was also in the Fist Village.

At the entrance of the Fist Village, over a hundred burly men wearing black martial attire stood in two rows.

These people were everyone left behind in the Qingyuan Fist Village; at this moment, they had all come out and stood in two rows outside the main gate.

Liu Saner, as the current agent of the Fist Village, stood at the very front waiting personally.

A moment later, a figure walked toward this side.

After Liu Saner saw the person coming, a smile appeared on his face, and then he immediately stood straight, bending his waist and bowing toward the front:

"Ghost Master!"

Slap—

The burly men in black standing in two rows stood at attention one after another, many of them showing nervous expressions.

They bowed in unison, over a hundred people shouting loudly together:

"Ghost Master!!!"

Li Fei walked over wearing his mask, walking toward the inside of the main gate without looking sideways.

It wasn't until he walked into the Fist Village gate that everyone straightened up one after another.

Behind him, everyone including Liu Saner looked at his back with fanatical expressions.

News of that battle on the wasteland had already spread back to Xingcheng and was currently slowly spreading:

The Green-Faced Ghost had been surrounded and killed by seven Foundation Establishment combat powers, and had ultimately killed six of them in return!

Such a combat record was like a myth to the Jianghu people at the bottom.

So now, Liu Saner and the others had a tendency toward fanatical worship of the Green-Faced Ghost!

A moment later, Li Fei met with Liu Saner alone.

"For those brothers who sacrificed this time, the pension for their families must be paid in full."

This was the first sentence Li Fei said to Liu Saner.

Liu Saner only felt that he hadn't followed the wrong person, nodding hurriedly:

"Rest assured, I will personally supervise this matter!"

"Additionally, I will give you another two hundred thousand yuan; this is a bonus for the brothers who participated in the battle this time. Don't leave out those from the Stop-Goe Academy who fought this time either; the bonus must be given the same way; find a reason to let them accept this money."

Li Fei continued to say.

Previously, he had Liu Saner prepare over seven hundred thousand in cash for him, and he had used over three hundred thousand to trade with Luo Yifu in the provincial capital to buy exotic beast rations, and used twenty thousand to buy the Wood Ghost Binding Curse; now that Li Fei was taking out another two hundred thousand as a bonus to distribute, he didn't have much money left that he could use himself.

A bonus of two hundred thousand was not a small amount, but Li Fei felt this money should be spent and didn't intend to save it.

And if there were no accidents, he would soon be able to earn more money.

"The third thing: I have brought back the corpse of the Chen family ancestor Chen Junzhi; you send people to send the corpse to the Chen Mansion right now."

Li Fei continued to instruct.

This ancestor of the Chen family was the final pillar of the Chen family, and also the Chen family's final hope for a comeback.

With Chen Junzhi dead, the Chen family in Xingcheng had completely become a thing of the past.

The industries the Chen family had operated in Xingcheng for over sixty years would ultimately be swallowed up by the Qingyuan City Management Company!

That was why Li Fei believed he would soon be able to earn more money.

After chatting with Liu Saner for a while, Li Fei let the other party go handle the matters, while he picked up the phone on the table and dialed a number.

The call was quickly connected, and Shangguan Xiao's cold voice came from the receiver:

"Who is this?"

A smile appeared on Li Fei's face, and he restored his original voice: "Master Aunt, it's me; I have already returned to Xingcheng."

"It's good that you're back!"

Shangguan Xiao's voice was also very happy.

She had received a call yesterday and knew the result of that battle on the wasteland.

But until now, she had finally completely set her heart at ease:

"When are you returning to Datong Fucheng?"

"Returning tomorrow."

Li Fei laughed.

Since he had won yesterday's battle, then when the Green-Faced Ghost returned to Datong Fucheng, it would be time to settle the score!
