Chapter 171: Invincible
Chapter 171: Invincible
The air outside the city was filled with a wild atmosphere. Various mutated plants were rampant and the faint sound of beastly howls drifted on the wind. Humanity struggled to extend their footprint in such a dangerous and hostile environment.
The highway had long been abandoned. Only the ruts pressed into the dirt road seemed like stubborn remnants of their existence as they steadfastly extended into the wilderness. A few temporary refuge points and outposts, built from solid piles of huge stones, gave off an air of prehistoric civilization.
Outside a temporary outpost on the edge of a wasteland.
"Heh, I'm laying it out right here today."
White Snake, with a snake tattooed on his bald head, sat smugly on the hood of a hunting armored vehicle. "I don't care if you're from the Cloudy Sky Gang," he sneered, "even if the King of Heaven himself came, I won’t accept a penny less for our appearance and repair fees."
He was surrounded by hundreds of Dragon Claw Gang members. They had encircled the convoy of the Cloudy Sky Gang. Chu Yuntian’s shoulders were pierced through and he was hanging in mid-air. His blood slowly stained the ground.
The other members of the Cloudy Sky Gang's hunting team were also badly injured and tossed into a newly dug pit. They were surrounded by Dragon Claw Gang members wielding swords and knives. The situation was dire.
Boom!
They heard the distant roar of motorcycles.
"White Snake, someone's coming." A Dragon Claw Gang member on lookout lowered his binoculars and said, "It looks like people from the Cloudy Sky Gang."
"Hmm?" White Snake immediately tensed up. "How many people?"
"Not many, just a dozen or so. The one leading them is very young. He looks like their president, Li Xiaofei." The lookout confirmed after a few glances through the binoculars.
A sinister smile appeared on White Snake's face.
Good. This fool really isn't afraid of death if he’s coming out of the city with just a handful of people. He's done for today.
Meanwhile, the members of the Cloudy Sky Gang grew excited. The president had arrived. Their boss was risking his life to come out of the city for them. They were absolutely confident in their president. As long as he was here, any problem could be solved.
Only Chu Yuntian was secretly anxious, since he could sense that the chain of events weren’t as simple as it seemed on the surface. It was very likely a trap specifically targeting Li Xiaofei. But it was too late to warn him now.
It didn’t take long for Li Xiaofei and his group to arrive.
"Well, well, isn't this President Li? Haha, I didn't expect we'd meet again," White Snake said smugly from atop the armored vehicle as he looked down at Li Xiaofei. "How about I treat you to a hotpot today? Haha."
Li Xiaofei glanced around. When he saw Chu Yuntian and his disciples' miserable states, anger surged within him. This wasn't just extortion. This was meant to establish a deadly feud.
"Haha, your brothers here were quite unruly," White Snake continued smugly. "They tried to make our Zhiyuan rescue team come out for nothing and even started a fight. The Dragon Claw Gang brothers had to teach them a lesson. President Li, since you're here personally, it's simple. Compensate us with one million star coins, then kneel down and apologize. If you do that, we'll call it a day..."
Before White Snake finished speaking, a flash of light streaked through the air. Everyone felt their vision blur for a moment.
Ding.
The hook suspending Chu Yuntian was cut through by the Longya Group short sword. Li Xiaofei caught Chu Yuntian as he collapsed.
"You..." White Snake was shocked.
He hadn't expected Li Xiaofei to act without even speaking.
"Li Xiaofei, what do you mean by this? You don't want to talk things out, huh?" White Snake shouted angrily. "Do you think I’m bluffing when I say I can bury all your people right now?"
However, Li Xiaofei didn't even glance at him. He handed Chu Yuntian to his top lieutenant, Li Junjie, and said, "Take good care of Hall Master Chu."
"Boss, leave, get out of here..." Chu Yuntian struggled to warn him.
Li Xiaofei immediately stopped him from moving. "Don't worry, leave everything to me."
As he turned, an overwhelming killing intent filled the air. He no longer had any mercy or compassion.
He immediately used the Three Steps Cicada Catch, appearing in the midst of the Dragon Claw Gang in a flash. His ten fingers slightly curved, forming claw shapes as he unleashed a backhand swipe.
Shhh.
The combat suit of the Dragon Claw Gang leader in front of him tore like paper as the claw ripped through his internal organs.
Bang.
The man's chest exploded into a mess of flesh. But Li Xiaofei's left hand was already in motion as it struck another Dragon Claw Gang member’s forehead. His five fingers penetrated the skull as easily as plunging into tofu, sending blood splattering everywhere.
The surrounding Dragon Claw Gang members were petrified.
What kind of combat technique is this? He’s tearing through combat suits with bare hands and using his fingers to pierce through skulls?
The scene was too horrifying and more akin to the brutal slaughter of humanoid star beasts.
"Die." Li Xiaofei showed no mercy.
The Nine Yin White Bone Claw, also known as the Bone Crushing Divine Claw, was unstoppable. The golden-threaded combat suits, titanium shields, and weapons held by the Dragon Claw Gang members were no match for his swift, lethal swipes.
He shredded his opponents like a divine blade was cutting through tofu.
"Aghhh!"
"He's a demon!"
"Run!"
The Dragon Claw Gang members quickly fell into chaos. Even the strongest among them couldn't withstand a single move from Li Xiaofei. There were no survivors under the Nine Yin White Bone Claw.
A few breaths later, there were only bodies around him. Their heads were pierced with five holes. The scene was gruesome.
On the roof of the armored hunting vehicle, White Snake stood petrified. His eyes were wide with horror.
Drip, drip.
The foul smell of urine dripped from White Snake's crotch. The previously smug White Snake was trembling uncontrollably and unable to utter a single word.
"Trash," said Li Xiaofei, striking with his palm from a distance.
Everyone in a hundred miles could feel his palm force.
Boom!
The Golden Dragon Palm roared into existence, and White Snake was instantly blasted into a mist of blood. The disciples of the Cloudy Sky Gang looked at Li Xiaofei as if he was a descending demon god.
They knew that when President Li got angry, he was terrifying. No one had forgotten the bloody nightmare in the slum’s Martial God Arena. But they hadn't expected that, months later, President Li had become even more terrifying.
The nearly hundred-strong Dragon Claw Gang were all at the ninth and tenth stage of the Qi Refining Realm. Yet they were like mere chickens and dogs under President Li's hands. They had been completely annihilated in less than a minute.
Is this our president? Fortunately, we are his followers and not his enemies.
"Junjie, clean up the battlefield and take our brothers away," Li Xiaofei ordered.
"Yes, boss," said Li Junjie, trembling with excitement. Every time he saw the boss take action personally, it was an ultimate shock to his system.
It didn’t take them long to tidy up the battlefield. The disciples of the Cloudy Sky Gang supported each other as they got into the vehicles and started their journey back.
Just then, a shout rang out.
"Where do you think you're going?!"
"Do you think you can just go away after killing our Dragon Claw Gang members?!"
"Stop right there!"
Five or six figures shot toward them like arrows from a bow. Their voices boomed like thunder, making the air vibrate like boiling water. The real experts had finally appeared.
