Chapter 320: The Journey Home

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

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

However, the medicinal properties of this elixir were too fierce and would cause a certain amount of damage to the implant, so it was not advisable to take too many.

But for Li Fei, who possessed the Myriad Blood Bead, 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 Pills in one breath, the 【Steel Armor】 implant inside Li Fei's body, which had already entered a state of exhaustion, rapidly 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 for replenishing the vitality of the implant.

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

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

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

Yet in this time of less than ten minutes, on the highway, the two sides had fought 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 Stronghold; although these people had followed Shangguan Xiao for many years and were supported by large amounts of money in daily life, those who could truly fight to the death for the company were few and far between.

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

Therefore, even though the battle had only been going on for a few minutes, under the circumstances of being at a total disadvantage and with casualties constantly increasing, the Qingyuan City Management Company was already on the verge of collapse.

If it weren't for Zhao Yi using a gun to kill over twenty of the opposing 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 a dirt slope firing potshots, threw down the rifle in her hand and also intended to retreat.

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

Just as she set her sights on a car and prepared to make a move, a voice rolled over from the distance:

"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 it say the Beast King is dead?"

"How is that possible?!"

"..."

The subordinates of the 'Beast King' were half-doubting, but all were somewhat hesitant, and their offensive slowed down.

"Yu Longqing is dead!!!"

The voice came a third time.

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

Everyone stopped their actions and turned to look at the figure galloping toward them.

"It's the Green-Faced Ghost!"

"It's Ghost Master!"

"Ghost Master won!"

"Ghost Master killed the Beast King!"

"..."

For a moment, 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 factions became restless, some finding it hard to believe.

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

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

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

Slap!

Li Fei stepped heavily onto the ground, causing the soil to collapse downward, and then swept across the distance of several dozen meters like a meteor, leaping onto the roof of a heavy truck.

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

"Yu Longqing is dead—"

The martial artists nearby all had sharp eyes and saw at a glance that the head Li Fei was holding was indeed Yu Longqing.

Now the people on the 'Beast King's' side could no longer hold on; two Qi-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 of the 'Poison King' and 'Cannon King' no longer hesitated and hurriedly began to run for their lives.

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

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

Li Fei did not order a pursuit to kill these people because he could see that his own subordinates had also reached their limit.

As for himself, the portion of innate Qi he had just recovered had been exhausted on the journey back; right now he was just an empty shell. If the people from the three factions hadn't fled just now and had chosen to continue fighting to the death...

What seven Foundation Establishment combatants couldn't accomplish might have ended up being accomplished by them!

However, such a thing did not happen after all; the Green-Faced Ghost, holding Yu Longqing's head high, looked unscathed and possessed a terrifying aura.

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

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

Li Fei stood on the truck and looked around the entire scene.

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 Li Fei said "We won."

Yes, they had faced the encirclement and killing by the three major factions of the 'Beast King', 'Poison King', and 'Cannon King' of Datong Prefecture, 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 take back. Some car tires had been shot out and needed to be replaced...

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

These two exotic beasts were both 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 be used to refine at least two Grade 5 exotic weapons and several pieces of Grade 5 protective clothing!

In this battle, the Grade 4 protective clothing on Li Fei's body had been more than half destroyed and could no longer be worn; it was just the right time to change into something better.

Besides this, the Myriad Blood Bead 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: 4 PM.

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

Because the vehicles were damaged and they had additionally loaded the two exotic beasts weighing over 10 tons, the motorcade arrived more than ten hours later than expected.

Fortunately, they had arrived successfully in the end.

The exotic beast farm had long been prepared and began to unload the cargo in an orderly manner, then quickly sent the rations to those exotic beasts that had long been starving.

More than an hour later, the motorcade set off again and drove into Xingcheng.

To be on the safe side, 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 Demon-Scale Horned Tiger Beast naturally also had to be stored in the city. Later, he would contact professionals to process the corpses to be used for refining exotic weapons and protective clothing.

After the motorcade entered the city, Li Fei went ahead to the Qingyuan Fist Stronghold.

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

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

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

Liu Saner, as the current agent of the Fist Stronghold, 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 and bowed toward the front:

"Ghost Master!"

Slap—

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

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

"Ghost Master!!!"

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

It was not until he walked into the Fist Stronghold gate that everyone straightened up one after another.

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

The news of that battle on the wilderness had already spread back to Xingcheng and was currently spreading slowly:

The Green-Faced Ghost was surrounded and attacked by seven Foundation Establishment combatants and ultimately killed six of them in return!

Such a battle record was like a myth to the martial artists at the bottom of the underworld.

That is why Liu Saner and the others are now showing signs of fanatical worship toward the Green-Faced Ghost!

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

"For those brothers who sacrificed their lives this time, make sure their families receive the full pension."

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

Liu Saner felt he had not followed the wrong person and nodded hurriedly:

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

"Additionally, I will give you another two hundred thousand yuan; this is a bonus for the brothers who participated in this battle. Do not leave out those from the Cease-Arms Academy who fought this time either; they must receive the same bonus. Find a way to come up with a reason for them to accept this money."

Li Fei continued.

Previously, he had asked Liu Saner to prepare over seven hundred thousand in cash for him. He had spent over three hundred thousand trading with Luo Yifu in the provincial capital to purchase exotic beast rations, and twenty thousand to purchase the Wood Ghost Binding Curse. Now that Li Fei was handing out another two hundred thousand as bonuses, he did not have much money left to use.

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

Moreover, if all went as expected, he would soon be able to earn even more money.

"The third thing: I have brought back the corpse of the Chen family ancestor, Chen Jun. Send someone to deliver the body to the Chen residence right now."

Li Fei continued to instruct.

This Chen family ancestor was the Chen family's final pillar of support and their last hope for a comeback.

With Chen Jun 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 eventually 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 told him to go handle the tasks, while he picked up the phone on the table and dialed a number.

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

"Who is this?"

A smile appeared on Li Fei's face as he reverted to his original voice: "Aunt-Master, it's me. I have returned to Xingcheng."

"It is good that you are back!"

Shangguan Xiao's voice was also very joyful.

She had received the call yesterday and learned the outcome of the battle in the wilderness.

But only now did she completely set her mind at ease:

"When are you returning to Datong Prefecture City?"

"I will return tomorrow."

Li Fei smiled.

Since he had won yesterday's battle, once the Green-Faced Ghost returned to Datong Prefecture City, it would be time to settle accounts!
