Chapter 223: Interrogation

"What if the culprit who killed Zhang Zongyang is you? Then wouldn't you have the possibility of killing me?"

Li Fei's words were like thunder, exploding in Feng Sanniang's ears.

Taking advantage of her momentary distraction, Li Fei rushed toward her!

Feng Sanniang's reaction was also fast; she raised her arm, and three flying knives carrying azure force shot toward Li Fei's face.

At the same time, the palm she had pressed against the door exerted force, intending to push open the door and retreat.

This door was made of special materials and equipped with mechanisms, and only a special method could open it, so as long as she escaped behind the door and it closed again, she could buy time to escape.

But the next instant, a boundless sea of blood appeared before her eyes...

The three flying knives exploded in mid-air, as if three grenades had gone off!

Not only that, the force attached to them instantly froze the surrounding air, forming an ice wall.

But the next second, the ice wall shattered, and blood-red crystals pierced out from behind the wall.

Li Fei rushed to Feng Sanniang, who had just come to her senses, and threw a punch.

The protective force Feng Sanniang erupted with was instantly broken, and then her lower abdomen was struck by Li Fei.

Bang!!!

Feng Sanniang was hit by this punch, her feet leaving the ground, and she slammed heavily against the door.

The door vibrated, the outer layer of wood shattered, and the steel inside was dented inward.

From the moment he infiltrated the sixth floor and landed, Li Fei had activated 【Blood Rage】, and when rushing toward Feng Sanniang, he had also activated the 'Jin Gang Seal: Dragon-Elephant', so the power of this punch was astonishing, nearly breaking Feng Sanniang's liver and intestines!

However, this woman was also a ruthless person; she took the opportunity to spray a mouthful of blood onto Li Fei's face, and over a hundred strands of azure force shot out from all the acupoints on her body, shooting toward Li Fei!

The high-tier force she cultivated was called the 'Cold Frost Ice Heart Force', and its greatest feature was that it could freeze force in advance and hide it in acupoints all over the body, to be shot out as hidden weapons when needed, with power greater than bullets!

Feng Sanniang had shot out all the Cold Frost Ice Heart Force stored in her acupoints in this instant; at such a close distance, it was almost impossible to dodge.

She felt that even if she couldn't kill Li Fei, she could at least buy time for herself to escape.

However, Li Fei just lowered his head to use his mask to block the two strands of force shooting at his eyes, ignoring the other strands.

A large cloud of blood mist exploded between the two, and the shooting Cold Frost Ice Heart Force pierced Li Fei's protective True Blood Force, and Li Fei also pierced through Feng Sanniang's protective force and protective clothing with his saber, stabbing into her abdomen!

Feng Sanniang let out a cry of pain, feeling her internal organs shattered, and for a time, she was unable to resist.

She barely opened her eyes to look at Li Fei in front of her, only to see that the black martial attire on the other party had been pierced with many holes, and the protective clothing underneath also had holes, but his body was unscathed, without even a single wound.

"How is this possible..."

Feng Sanniang looked at Li Fei in despair.

Li Fei's movements didn't stop; he struck strands of True Blood Force into Feng Sanniang's body, severing her meridians and destroying the implants in her body.

A moment later, Li Fei withdrew his saber, grabbed Feng Sanniang's neck with one hand, lifted her up, and looked directly into her eyes:

"Tell me, who are you cooperating with, and why did you want to kill Zhang Zongyang?"

"Haha!"

Blood spilled from Feng Sanniang's mouth, and her abdomen was also bleeding profusely.

Fortunately, the vitality of a Dao Foundation expert was strong enough that she couldn't die yet.

"What makes you so sure that Zhang Zongyang was killed by me? What, in order to save Shangguan Xiao, you want to find a random scapegoat?"

Feng Sanniang looked at Li Fei with resentment, "If you kill me tonight, you will never have peace in the future!"

What made people most wary of this 'Queen' was never her personal strength, but her terrifying connections.

Just thinking that the previous Garrison Commander and the current second-ranked Gu Yuefeng on the Feng Province Wind and Cloud List had both been guests of this woman was enough to understand how formidable her connections were.

People like the 'Beast King' Yu Longqing, if they died, they died; there were very few people who would avenge him, so there wouldn't be too many future troubles.

But Feng Sanniang was different; if she were killed, there would be plenty of people willing to avenge her!

Li Fei didn't care about this at all and continued to press:

"You don't have to die, as long as you tell the truth!"

Feng Sanniang sneered: "Just based on a little speculation, you are sure I am the culprit? Don't you find it ridiculous?"

Li Fei: "Of course it's not just this speculation. The reason Zhang Zongyang went out quietly alone to that villa that night was to meet a woman, a woman who looked exactly like Shangguan Xiao's mother. This kind of method of using a woman to play a beauty trap, looking across the entire Feng Province, who is more adept at it than you, Feng Sanniang?"

Feng Sanniang sneered: "Heh, if you want to condemn someone, you can always find a reason, right?"

Seeing that she still refused to admit it, Li Fei stated his greatest basis:

"The poison Zhang Zongyang was struck with is related to you. You purchased a large amount of rosemary half a year ago, which was used to prepare that kind of poison, right?"

Before Li Fei went into seclusion, he had Yang Zhe investigate the large-scale transaction records of rosemary within the past year, and the result Yang Zhe found was that apart from a few large hospitals, only Feng Sanniang had purchased a large amount of rosemary successively half a year ago.

Hearing this, Feng Sanniang's face finally changed.

It wasn't that Feng Sanniang wasn't cautious enough to leave traces of the purchase, but that she had never thought there would be something like a 'poison formula' in this world.

The person who prepared the poison was also a master-level figure, and at the time, he had sworn to her that it was impossible for anyone in this world to trace any clues based on the poison he used!

In fact, if it weren't for Li Fei proposing the concept of a 'poison formula', even Mo Yizhou wouldn't have been able to analyze the poison Zhang Zongyang was struck with.

So normally, Feng Sanniang and the others actually hadn't left any flaws.

It was just that Li Fei brought a variable beyond common sense.

"Anything else to say?"

Li Fei stared into Feng Sanniang's eyes and asked coldly.

"Hehe, hahahaha, hahahahahaha—"

The woman held by her neck suddenly burst into laughter.

At this time, footsteps came from the corridor outside the room.

The commotion in the room finally attracted the attention of others.

"Don't come over—"

Feng Sanniang suddenly shouted.

The footsteps outside stopped.

"Sanniang?"

Someone outside called out with concern.

"Everyone wait outside!"

Feng Sanniang continued to order, her tone severe.

After waiting for a while, the people outside still didn't rush in rashly.

She then looked at Li Fei again, seemingly wanting to see through that mask to the face underneath:

"You were actually able to find out about the rosemary; that really surprised me, but so what? Just based on this, you can't overturn the case for Shangguan Xiao."

Li Fei was silent.

This was the reason why he didn't come to find Feng Sanniang immediately after knowing the result, because just based on this one clue, it was indeed impossible to overturn the case for Shangguan Xiao.

The poison formula itself was a concept beyond this era, and toxicology was a very profound science; expecting everyone to understand and believe the results analyzed by Li Fei and Mo Yizhou was impossible in itself.

Or perhaps use Mo Yizhou's authority as a toxicology master to make people believe the results.

If it were another case, it might be possible, but the Zhang Zongyang case was too involved, and Mo Yizhou's authority alone was far from enough.

Unless Mo Yizhou could have the prestige and status of Shi Caiming, then there would be a glimmer of possibility.

So he had to find more, more critical evidence.

But this required time, and Shangguan Xiao was about to be convicted.

Li Fei had originally thought of borrowing strength from Martial University, then going to talk to the investigation team, cooperating with Lord Yan Shijin, handing over the clue of Feng Sanniang to the other party, letting them investigate, and at the same time delaying the time for Shangguan Xiao to be convicted.

This way, with both approaches, plus having Feng Sanniang as a breakthrough, perhaps there was a possibility of breaking this trap.

But he didn't expect Lord Yan Shijin's attitude to be completely beyond his expectations, and Hao Yi had already come to Datong Prefecture city, and the enemy behind the scenes was likely about to start closing the net.

So Li Fei could only kill his way to Feng Sanniang as the Green-Faced Ghost, simply and crudely, attempting to break the trap with force.

"Why did you do this? Tell the truth, I will spare your life and promise to provide you with protection afterward. If you don't believe me, we can sign a contract."

Li Fei said to Feng Sanniang.

He didn't believe that with such a big trap, Feng Sanniang could have done it alone.

There must be someone behind this!

"Heh, you have no idea who you are going against."

Feng Sanniang sneered.

"Then tell me."

"You think you can protect me? The Tiefeng Sect has been wiped out; is your Qingyuan City Management Company bigger than the Tiefeng Sect? The 'Saber King' is dead; are you more powerful than Gu Xianfeng?"

Feng Sanniang looked at Li Fei with pity and shook her head, "You can't even protect yourself."

Li Fei looked at her with cold eyes: "At least the person behind you can't make you die right now, but I can. Tell the truth, and you'll have at least a glimmer of survival. If you don't, you will definitely die tonight!"

"Then just kill me, hahahahaha—"

Feng Sanniang laughed wildly, her eyes crazy.

Li Fei looked at this woman held in his palm; at least at this moment, he felt this woman had gone crazy.

The killing intent in his heart surged like a tide; for a moment, Li Fei really wanted to split the other party in two with one saber!

Resisting the killing intent, Li Fei took a small medicine bottle from his bosom, pried open Feng Sanniang's mouth, and forcibly fed her two pills.

This was the latest version of the Nether Spring Poison (Execution Version) prepared by Li Fei; this version of the poison was more violent than the version Li Fei had fed Zhao Yi back then to force him to tell the truth, and could bring more pain to people!

Having attended Mo Yizhou's classes for so long, Li Fei naturally had gains.

After Feng Sanniang took the poison, her face changed quickly.

She looked at Li Fei and gritted her teeth:

"This is your method? You think this will make me submit?"

Li Fei didn't speak, just waited silently for the drug to continue taking effect.

Soon, Feng Sanniang's body began to tremble, but her body was restrained by Li Fei's force, unable to move at all.

Blood kept flowing from her mouth, but she endured it tightly without making a cry of pain.

"Sanniang, are you alright?"

The shout came from outside the door again; Feng Sanniang's subordinates couldn't help but want to rush in.

"Don't move if you don't want her to die!"

Li Fei turned and roared.

He knew he didn't have much time left.

If there was someone behind Feng Sanniang, knowing something had happened here, they would definitely send experts to intercept and kill him immediately.

This was also why he didn't risk taking Feng Sanniang away first before interrogating her.

What if she died on the way, during the fight?

So he had to interrogate her directly, know the answer first, so that it would be convenient whether to leave or stay.

Li Fei performed another full-power 【Blood Might】 on Feng Sanniang, who was already tortured by the poison to be in great pain.

Under the circumstances of being seriously injured and tortured by poison, Feng Sanniang's resistance to techniques had dropped to the lowest point, so this 【Blood Might】 left her unable to recover for a long time.

"Who instigated you to kill Zhang Zongyang?"

Li Fei took the opportunity to press.

With his research on the techniques of the Nightmare Sect, he had also mastered some small tricks on the spiritual level:

In the spiritual illusion, Feng Sanniang was sinking continuously in a boundless sea of blood, and then a majestic voice came from all directions:

"Who instigated you to kill Zhang Zongyang? Say it and you will be liberated!"

"Say it."

"Say it—"

"The Zhang family all deserve to die!"

"What?"

"The Zhang family all deserve to die!!"

"The Zhang family should be destroyed!"

"Whoever helps the Zhang family, I will kill them!"

"..."

In the sea of blood, Feng Sanniang roared hysterically.

Li Fei could sense the bone-deep hatred the other party had for the Zhang family from her spiritual fluctuations!

The person behind the scenes must have used this point to make Feng Sanniang take action against Zhang Zongyang.

And the reason Feng Sanniang wanted to secretly reveal Li Fei's pickup location to Yu Longqing and eliminate Li Fei was not only because she was worried Li Fei would know the truth in the future, but also because Li Fei was helping the Zhang family overcome difficulties in the identity of the Green-Faced Ghost.

Thinking about it this way, perhaps the attack on Li Fei's main body by the 'Shell' team was also Feng Sanniang's doing.

Whoever wanted to help the Zhang family, she would kill them!

Boom—

The door behind Li Fei was suddenly broken open, and a figure rushed in from behind the door.

The person held a long spear, the spear thrusting like a dragon, stabbing toward Li Fei:

"Let go of Sanniang—"

He roared angrily.

This was a Dao Foundation expert under Feng Sanniang, and also an admirer who was infatuated with her.

Li Fei stopped the interrogation and turned to slash with his saber.

Qiang—

The long spear in the person's hand was split by a massive force; his arm muscles bulged, and he forcibly exerted force to pull back the spear body and sweep it toward Li Fei.

The next second, a boundless sea of blood appeared before his eyes...

By the time he came to his senses again, his protective force had been instantly broken by Li Fei using the Jin Gang Blood Demon Force, and then his head was slashed off.

After instantly killing this Dao Foundation expert, Li Fei lifted Feng Sanniang, who was paralyzed on the ground, with one hand and stepped out to rush outside.

With his current combat power, looking across the entire Datong Prefecture, there were few who could kill him.

He wanted to see what kind of lineup the person behind the scenes would send to intercept and kill him tonight?

"At most, you'll send a Martial Arts Master, and that will expose your identity."

Li Fei thought to himself.

The next second, he had already killed his way to the corridor, and then broke through the window with Feng Sanniang.

Begging for monthly votes.
