Eric paused. "However, we split into four groups to carry out the operation, and the team Lurence leads has the most people."

"Including us and the two Great Xia people we recruited, there are five of us in total. We are responsible for the East District and are staying in Courtyard 005 there."

"Except for Lurence, everyone else is at the Primary Warrior grade."

"That Great Xia woman managed to get the elementary school roster of Sky Moon Base for Lurence. He believes your daughter is your weak point."

Xu Feng remained silent for a long while before nodding. "Thanks."

Eric was about to open his mouth, but suddenly, a flash of white light streaked before his eyes.

"Pfft!"

The cold light instantly sliced through Eric's throat.

Blood gurgled out.

Eric struggled as he looked at Xu Feng, his face full of shock and anger.

But soon, he wore a miserable smile and slowly closed his eyes. "Ariana. See you in the next life."

Watching the tear slide from the corner of Eric's eye, Xu Feng drove his blade into the ground and staggered to his feet, his emotions extremely complex.

"Pfft!"

He raised his hand and finished off the unconscious Keith with a single strike.

He placed the two of them in the woods, searched their bodies for everything, and then turned to head home.

Along the way, Xu Feng was extremely cautious.

It was not until he returned to the scene carrying a shovel that he quickly dug two pits and hastily buried them.

Proficient in Pit Digging, he didn't even break a sweat.

After burying them, Xu Feng sat on a nearby tree stump and stared blankly at the two mounds of dirt.

He hadn't lied.

Since transmigrating, aside from the night he killed two men to save Liu Yu, this was his first time killing in the true sense.

And it was to silence them.

But he had to kill.

Things had reached this point; he had no choice.

After spacing out for five seconds, Xu Feng stood up and walked out of the woods.

He had no time to feel distressed.

He also had no time to digest the nausea in his chest and abdomen.

A mission that Eric wouldn't reveal even in death must be very important.

Therefore, it was easy to imagine that from the moment he first made his move, there was no turning back.

Perhaps... perhaps there was?

But Xu Feng didn't want to risk leaving behind any trouble.

Especially after hearing that they considered Xiao Dan his weak point.

He glanced at the pitch-black night and turned toward the Shanty Town.

"Hiss-hiss--hiss-hiss--"

"Coo-coo--coo-coo--"

The night was deep.

Insects chirped.

The killing intent gradually boiled over.

Following the information provided by Eric, Xu Feng quickly found the hideout of Lurence and his group.

When Xu Feng silently vaulted over the courtyard wall, he didn't even disturb a single fallen leaf upon landing.

Inside the residence, the lights were dim.

Through the window lattice, shadows could be vaguely seen entangled within.

Accompanied by low laughter and a woman's soft gasps.

Although this courtyard was also in the Shanty Town, it was a double-layered structure and clearly much more upscale.

Xu Feng closed his eyes, focused his mind, and sensed everything around him.

The sound of the wind, the chirping of insects, and the faint sound of human voices coming from afar.

Everything was clearly transmitted into his ears.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, a flash of cold light flickering within them as his figure quietly slipped into the night.

In the corridor of the outer courtyard.

A man with the appearance of a Great Xia native was smoking out of sheer boredom, guarding the gate of the first courtyard, completely unaware of the approaching danger.

Immediately after, a cold glint tore through the night sky, piercing his throat with precision.

"Pfft!"

The man didn't even manage a groan before he collapsed limply to the ground.

Yet, the moment he hit the ground, Xu Feng gently caught his body.

Upon seeing Xu Feng's face.

The man, who had spoken with Xu Feng just the day before, widened his eyes in utter disbelief.

Xu Feng slowly retracted his Flying Blade, then drew the combat blade from his waist and walked slowly toward the courtyard.

The blade shimmered with a cold, blue light under the moonlight.

"Bang!"

The bedroom door was kicked open, sending wood splinters flying.

Inside the room, Lurence was entangled with Liu Qinghong.

The sudden turn of events woke him instantly, and he shoved the woman aside, leaping up in a flash.

"Who?!"

Lurence shouted in shock and anger.

However, the response he received was Xu Feng's icy Flying Blade.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Three cold glints shot straight toward him in an instant.

The blade light was like lightning, tearing through the air to strike directly at Lurence's throat.

Lurence reacted with lightning speed, dodging to the side.

At the same time, he grabbed Liu Qinghong, who was nearby, and used her as a shield, holding her in front of himself.

"Pfft!"

The Flying Blades pierced through Liu Qinghong's shoulder, neck, and chest, blood spraying everywhere in an instant.

"Ah!" Liu Qinghong let out a miserable scream as she was violently thrown toward Xu Feng by Lurence.

Xu Feng remained expressionless, like a tiger descending a mountain, closing the distance instantly with his combat blade in hand.

"Whoosh!"

Accompanied by a sharp, wolf-like howl.

The combat blade erupted with cold light.

"Pfft!!"

With just a single strike, the half-naked Liu Qinghong was split open from head to chest!

Seeing this, a flash of ferocity crossed Lurence's eyes, and a long blade appeared in his hand from out of nowhere.

"It's you! You're courting death!"

He then leaped forward, stark naked.

Unexpectedly.

Xu Feng, who had been charging forward, suddenly stopped and retreated violently.

At the same time.

Three cold glints were instantly whipped from Xu Feng's hand!

Luring the enemy!

Lurence's expression changed drastically; while suspended in mid-air, he frantically swung his long blade.

"Clang, clang, clang!"

Three explosive sounds rang out, and sparks the size of fists erupted in the room.

These three Flying Blades had actually all been parried by Lurence.

The swordsmanship he displayed in that split second was incredibly profound.

Faintly, there were even flashes of electricity flickering.

"My turn!"

Lurence, having rolled to the ground, moved with extreme speed; he let out a low growl and lunged upward, aiming straight for Xu Feng's face.

Xu Feng had not expected the opponent to be able to block Flying Blades of such speed.

Seeing this, he hurriedly swung his blade to parry.

The two blades collided, sparks flew, and a shockwave rolled outward.

Both men had put their full strength into this strike.

The power of their blood energy raged wildly during the impact, obliterating everything inside the room.

Xu Feng felt a massive force travel through him, his arm going numb, and his long blade nearly flew from his grasp.

Lurence, however, used the force of the recoil to launch himself forward once more.

His short blade followed like a shadow, slashing out in a continuous flurry.

The formidable strength and reaction speed of an Intermediate Warrior were displayed to the fullest by Lurence.

Xu Feng was suppressed almost the moment they clashed!

He retreated rapidly, backing all the way from the room into the courtyard!

An Intermediate Warrior started at 500c of blood energy, with a minimum strength of two thousand kilograms!

Yet Xu Feng had only just broken through to become a Primary Warrior!

With such a gap, how could Xu Feng possibly win?

At a certain moment.

Xu Feng suddenly stumbled, as if his body could no longer withstand the impact of the massive force, and blood gushed from his nose and mouth.

Seeing this, Lurence's face lit up with joy.

He lunged forward, rolled to his feet, and slashed toward Xu Feng!

But just at that moment.

The corners of Xu Feng's mouth curled upward.

Fell for it!

This was the moment he had been waiting for!

Right then.

Xu Feng suddenly moved like an agile wolf, advancing instead of retreating.

He charged straight toward Lurence's "guaranteed hit" strike!

At the same time, Xu Feng's expression turned ruthless.

The blade in his hand erupted with a terrifying wolf's howl!

"Awoo!!"

The instant the cold light flared.

Both men struck at each other simultaneously!

Lurence sensed the danger and tried to dodge, but it was already too late.

With a crisp "crack," Lurence's left arm was severed by Xu Feng's blade, and blood sprayed out like a fountain.

"Ah!"

Lurence let out a miserable scream and stumbled backward.

Xu Feng was sent flying, crashing violently through the wall behind him and into a room in the outer courtyard.

The surrounding streets were instantly thrown into chaos.

Many people heard the commotion, but no one dared to come and investigate.

Inside the room.

Lurence clutched his severed arm, a look of malice flashing in his eyes.

"Pah—" He spat out a mouthful of blood and sneered, "A yellow-skinned monkey, did you really think you could kill me?"

As he spoke, he prepared to head outside to check, but suddenly saw a figure charging back into the room, blade in hand.

Lurence's pupils constricted instantly, his face flashing with fear and shock.

Xu Feng's shirt was completely shredded, revealing a full set of black tactical gear underneath.
