Chapter 372: Evening Banquet (Part 2)

Under the same night sky, the courtyard of the Supervisory Department appeared somewhat quiet.

In terms of guard strength, the dungeon of the Zhige Department was definitely the highest.

But during this period, because Li Fei had been staying in the Supervisory Department, and He Jian and the others had to interrogate prisoners from time to time, the prisoners captured earlier had not been transferred to the Zhige Department.

Tonight, Chi Chengyu held a banquet, and Li Fei went to attend, taking Lu Wenxing with him.

In addition, the Supervisory Chief of the Supervisory Department, Zhong Han, also took several guards to attend the banquet.

This made the guard strength of the Supervisory Department relatively weak.

Of course, the Supervisory Department naturally wouldn't make such an obvious mistake.

So they had borrowed three Dao Foundation Realm experts and more than a dozen registered martial masters from the Zhige Department in advance.

The courtyard of the Supervisory Department under the night sky looked calm, but it was actually loose on the outside and tight on the inside.

In a noodle shop across the street from the courtyard, a middle-aged man wearing cloth clothes, looking like a farmer, walked in.

He ordered a bowl of noodles.

Soon, the boss brought the noodles to the other party, leaned down, and whispered a sentence:

"Confirmed, Li Fei has appeared at the Red Sleeve Restaurant."

The man who looked like a farmer ate his noodles expressionlessly and soon finished the bowl.

He wiped his mouth with satisfaction, left the noodle money, and got up to walk out of the noodle shop.

One minute later, the man arrived outside the courtyard gate of the Supervisory Department.

He just walked straight toward the inside of the gate.

"Stop! Wh—"

Two guards guarding the gate of the courtyard wanted to stop the other party.

But before the words were finished, the arm of one of them was severed at the elbow!

Everything happened too fast and too suddenly.

The guard with the severed arm hadn't started to feel the pain before he suddenly felt the world spinning.

The last scene he saw was his own headless corpse with a severed arm slowly falling down.

As for his other companion, his body was torn apart from the middle, and blood and internal organs were scattered...

"Enemy attack—"

A sharp alarm whistle sounded in the courtyard.

The man who had killed his way into the Supervisory Department courtyard with an extremely bloody and violent posture had some blood stained on his face.

He revealed an extremely enjoyable expression, and his eyes gradually turned from dull to crazy.

Bang bang bang bang—

Continuous gunfire broke the silence of the night, and bullets shot in from all directions.

Ink-black Force surged from the man's body, turning into a ferocious armor covered in barbs, swallowing all the incoming bullets.

Close-range firearms could pose a threat to martial artists below the mid-stage of Qi-Transformation; if dozens of rifles fired at the same time within thirty meters, even a Force-Practicing martial master could have their protective Force broken, resulting in injury or even death!

But the man was currently facing a hail of bullets and showed an unshakable defensive power, which proved that this person was a Dao Foundation Realm expert.

He turned into a ghostly black shadow, charging toward the building directly in front while braving the incoming bullets.

A human figure rushed out from the building with equally astonishing speed and slashed at the black shadow.

Boom!!!

The air in the courtyard vibrated violently, and a wild wind was generated out of thin air.

The expert who slashed was sent flying.

"Dark Star Night Demon Force? It's the 'Night Demon' Suo Ze!"

The one sent flying was a Dao Foundation Realm expert borrowed from the Zhige Department; he recognized the other party's identity.

The "Night Demon" Suo Ze was a famous demonic martial artist in Gan Province.

Demonic martial artists enhanced their own strength by directly plundering the implants that had already grown to maturity from others; compared to normal martial artists, their danger coefficient at the Dao Foundation Realm would be much higher.

Because their implants were all snatched, they were not 100% compatible with themselves from the start, and there would be a certain rejection reaction, so the more implants they snatched, the more serious the rejection reaction would be.

Given this, the number of demonic martial artists at the Dao Foundation Realm was very small, and each one was very famous.

Suo Ze had already incorporated all five types of implants seven years ago, and every implant he snatched had triggered a core-level extraordinary ability, so his combat power was above the 7th tier; he was at the peak of the Dao Foundation Realm!

Such a demon had sat firmly in the top spot of Gan Province's wanted list for seven years.

No one expected that this person would actually take the initiative to break into the Supervisory Department courtyard tonight.

After his identity was exposed, Suo Ze let out a satisfied laugh and charged into the building again.

Soon, intense fighting sounds came from inside the building.

The reinforced concrete walls were as fragile as tofu under the Force of a Dao Foundation Realm expert; wall after wall was pierced through, and room after room turned into ruins!

All three Dao Foundation Realm experts borrowed from the Zhige Department were attracted by Suo Ze, and the three of them besieged one person, yet they were still at a disadvantage.

At the entrance of the dungeon of the Supervisory Department.

When the alarm whistle sounded, the guards here entered a state of first-level alert.

The ten-thousand-catty stone gate at the entrance of the dungeon fell down at the first opportunity.

This gate was incorporated with special materials, and even Dao Foundation Realm experts would find it very difficult to break.

More than a dozen guards aimed their guns at the surroundings.

Swish—

Suddenly, a harsh sound of breaking through the air came from far to near.

More than a dozen guards subconsciously turned their heads to look, only barely able to see a black shadow flash by.

Bang!!!

The black shadow slammed heavily into the fallen stone gate at the entrance of the dungeon with the force of a thousand jun.

The violent wind knocked over the nearest guards; only then did these guards see clearly what had flown over—

A square-shaped iron hammer.

The surface of the iron hammer was engraved with complex patterns, and these patterns were flashing with light.

"Magic treasure!"

Someone exclaimed.

Then this iron hammer slammed heavily into the gate again.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

In the blink of an eye, the iron hammer slammed seven or eight times in a row.

The surrounding guards fired at the iron hammer; the bullets struck a string of sparks and were deflected away.

The iron hammer was completely undamaged.

In just a few seconds, the iron hammer crazily smashed the gate dozens of times, smashing a clear dent into the gate.

This magic treasure was a magic treasure specifically used for attacking cities!

Even a specially made city gate could be broken, let alone a mere gate?

Eventually, with a loud bang, the gate at the entrance of the dungeon was completely shattered.

The next second, a human figure shrouded in dark red Force charged toward this side from afar.

Just looking at the speed and momentum of the person coming, one could determine that this was another Dao Foundation Realm expert!

The guards at the entrance only dared to fire to block, not daring to step forward to stop the other party, and in the end, could only watch helplessly as the other party charged into the dungeon.

There were martial artist guards inside the dungeon, but none were a match for the person coming, and they were killed all the way into the depths of the dungeon by the other party like a hot knife through butter.

In the narrow passage, He Jian stood guard here expressionlessly.

He didn't go to the banquet tonight, but had been guarding in the dungeon all along.

Listening to the sound getting closer and closer, he silently drew his saber.

He had long anticipated this jailbreak tonight.

Li Fei hadn't obtained the most critical information from Liu Jiehui, but he had obtained relatively critical information:

He knew the location of an important stronghold.

Three days ago, the Zhige Department and the Supervisory Department sent people together to search that stronghold.

As expected, it was already empty.

But Li Fei and He Jian's purpose wasn't to gain anything from the stronghold, but to deliberately beat the grass to scare the snake.

The Vow-type spell rooted in Liu Jiehui's mind had already been triggered, and the people behind the other party would inevitably receive feedback.

After this, an important stronghold was suddenly searched.

What would the people behind Liu Jiehui think?

Would they think the Vow-type spell of the implant had been cracked? That the secret Liu Jiehui mastered might be exposed?

But currently, only one important stronghold was known, indicating that the true secret hadn't been revealed yet.

Under these circumstances, the person behind the scenes would only be more eager to kill Liu Jiehui to silence him!

Thus, this jailbreak tonight became logical.

He Jian wasn't certain the other party would definitely send people to break the jail, he was just gambling that the secret Liu Jiehui mastered was important enough to be worth the other party taking the risk.

Currently, it seemed he had gambled correctly.

However, this drama of luring the snake out of the hole didn't bring out a venomous snake hiding in the shadows, but a python that would devour people!

The appearance of the "Night Demon" Suo Ze was unexpected, and the fact that the other party could break the dungeon gate so quickly and kill their way in.

This was also unexpected.

He Jian was never known for his martial force, but at this moment, he didn't have the slightest intention of retreating.

The sounds of fighting got closer and closer, and the sounds of Force tearing through the air and piercing through walls kept ringing out.

That sharp momentum and powerful force, even without seeing it in person, were enough to make one's hair stand on end!

At a certain moment, He Jian's gaze focused.

It's here!

Red Sleeve Restaurant.

After Li Fei arrived, the evening banquet officially began.

On the main seat directly in front, Chi Chengyu sat in the middle, Su Xuesong sat on the left, and Li Fei sat on the right.

More than a dozen dancing girls wearing thin gauze were dancing; their graceful dance moves were heart-stirring, making many people present feel somewhat restless.

After a song ended, everyone applauded one after another.

After these dancing girls retreated, Huang Jin glanced at Shentu Yue sitting beside him, suddenly stood up, walked to the center, bowed to the three people on the main seat, and finally looked at Li Fei:

"I have long admired the Marquis of Jing'an's prestige; I am Huang Jin of the Red Dust Pavilion, and I would like to ask the Marquis of Jing'an for advice."

This remark caused the scene to quickly quiet down, and many people revealed looks of surprise.

Wasn't it said that tonight's banquet was specifically held by Chi Chengyu to create an opportunity for a martial arts match between Shentu Yue and Li Fei?

Why did Huang Jin jump out to challenge him first?

Chi Chengyu looked at Shentu Yue somewhat unexpectedly, without saying much.

After all, Huang Jin was also the Pavilion Master's personal disciple.

Li Fei on the main seat glanced at Huang Jin and shook his head:

"Sorry, this Marquis doesn't want to make a move against anyone tonight."

This remark startled Huang Jin; he didn't expect Li Fei to refuse.

He asked somewhat shamefully and angrily:

"Could it be that the Marquis of Jing'an feels I am not qualified?"

This remark appeared somewhat rude; Chi Chengyu frowned slightly, not understanding why Huang Jin would be so out of character.

He turned to look at Li Fei:

"My nephew is a martial arts fanatic; seeing an expert like you, it's hard not to feel itchy, so I ask the Marquis of Jing'an not to take offense."

Li Fei nodded to Chi Chengyu and said calmly: "No matter."

Then he picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip, no longer looking at Huang Jin.

Seeing this, Chi Chengyu smiled and said to Huang Jin:

"Since the Marquis of Jing'an doesn't want to have a martial arts match tonight, let's find another opportunity later."

Huang Jin sat back down unwillingly, somewhat dejected.

"The Marquis of Jing'an is unwilling to fight with my senior brother, then what about me?"

Shentu Yue, who had been quiet all along, suddenly spoke.
