Liu Long's eyes were wide open.
He stared straight at Shen Fei, who had appeared before him, his eyes filled with shock and confusion.
He could hardly believe it.
After all, this was simply too absurd.
Could it really be him? Surely not... Those arms were so huge. That was a blue giant! How could it be him... It probably wasn't... But if it wasn't him, where did the blue giant go? It couldn't have vanished into thin air. There was only one possibility: the blue giant was this man's Esper Ability... Liu Long thought, utterly shocked, yet still struggling to believe it.
Indeed, what normal person would believe it?!
From Liu Long's perspective, Shen Fei was an extremely arrogant Mortal Entry Stage Seven who abandoned his teammates and disrespected the Forbidden Zone's rules. Despite Liu Long's repeated warnings, he had continued behaving this way and even dared to run out and fight the Steel Bear. He was someone with a death wish, and Liu Long had even given up on saving him.
But now, that subjective impression had been shattered.
It turned out that all of it had merely been his own wild assumptions!
He desperately wanted an answer.
"Was... was that blue giant just now you?" Liu Long asked in a trembling voice.
Li Yun and Zhao Qing beside him were puzzled.
Could this man before them be that blue giant?
That had to be a joke! Impossible!
Meanwhile, the Sakura Country warrior and the man from Beautiful Country exchanged a glance, preparing to leave. But when they saw Shen Fei blocking the cave entrance, they felt awkward about running away right in front of him. Now that they had heard Li Long's question, they listened closely as well.
If it was true, they couldn't force their way out, or they might be beaten to death.
If it wasn't, they would charge straight out and flee for their lives!
Shen Fei swept his gaze over the underground space. His blood-red eyes were chillingly cold, their chill seeping into everyone, who felt the air become intensely oppressive.
Shen Fei didn't answer. He simply used the Body Flicker Technique and left the underground space.
Answer? Why should I answer? Do I have to answer everything you ask? Then what are your eyes even for? Isn't this perfectly obvious? Is there any need to waste time explaining it to the weak?
Since when did the strong explain themselves to the weak?
To put it bluntly, even if I cut you down with a single slash, what could you possibly say?
Shen Fei had lost interest in them. He only wanted to refine that enormous reishi mushroom.
Only after Shen Fei left did everyone unconsciously breathe a sigh of relief. They didn't know why, but the man wearing ancient Battle Armor had felt overwhelmingly oppressive, especially those eyes. They couldn't look directly into them at all.
They hadn't even realized how timid they had looked before Shen Fei's Mangekyō. Only after he left did they belatedly notice the changes in their bodies.
"Captain, just who was that?!" Li Yun and Zhao Qing approached, full of questions.
Liu Long wore a complicated expression, feeling deeply ashamed.
"I don't know either, but I'm certain that he was the one who transformed into that blue giant! There was no mistaking that oppressive presence of a powerful fighter!"
Liu Long felt bitter.
Someone at that level was obviously at Mortal Entry Stage Nine! It was all because the Spiritual Power Goggles malfunctioned, mistaking a Mortal Entry Stage Nine powerhouse for a Mortal Entry Stage Seven... God, I even said all those things to a powerhouse, making subjective judgments and thinking I was righteously lecturing a junior. Fucking... Aaaah... Liu Long felt utterly embarrassed. This was truly social suicide. Fortunately, this mysterious powerhouse wasn't petty. Otherwise...
What Liu Long didn't know was that Shen Fei genuinely hadn't taken any of this to heart. Although Liu Long was fairly strong, that only applied to his physique. As for everything else, Shen Fei really didn't think much of it. If he truly wanted to kill him, it would only take one or two slashes from Susanoo.
Even the Steel Bear had been punched to death by the Susanoo Shen Fei had activated, let alone Liu Long.
Shen Fei never took the mockery of the weak to heart.
The weak weren't even qualified to make Shen Fei angry!
If Liu Long ever became capable of making Shen Fei angry, he would no longer be weak. Unfortunately, he couldn't do that now.
Li Yun and Zhao Qing were utterly stunned as well.
They hadn't expected the Transcendent Administration Bureau to have someone this powerful!
Soon, Liu Long recovered from his embarrassment.
He had business to attend to now. Once he finished dealing with it, he would offer Shen Fei a formal apology.
Although Shen Fei didn't care, Liu Long did. Without apologizing, he would never have peace of mind for the rest of his life.
Liu Long turned his gaze toward the two men who appeared to be from Sakura Country and Beautiful Country.
They couldn't possibly belong to the Transcendent Administration Bureau!
Since they didn't, how had they gotten here? And what was their purpose in coming here? He didn't believe two foreigners would travel all the way to the Ten Thousand Great Mountains just to admire the scenery!
They had to have some purpose!
"Who are you? Why are you here?!"
Liu Long glared coldly and barked at them.
His two teammates, Li Yun and Zhao Qing, immediately understood what he meant.
They spread out and, together with Liu Long, loosely surrounded the two men.
The Sakura Country warrior said, "We, ah, very, very good citizens. We, ah, got lost."
"Hahahaha!" Liu Long made no attempt to suppress his laughter.
Who could possibly believe that?
"This is a level-eight area! How the fuck could you get lost all the way out here? Do you seriously take the three of us for fucking idiots?! I'll give you two one more chance. If you don't talk, I'll treat you as foreign spies who infiltrated Great Xia!"
Liu Long's gaze shifted slightly.
Li Yun and Zhao Qing immediately understood what he had in mind.
Before the Sakura Country warrior and the man from Beautiful Country could react, all three rushed them.
They gave the two men a vicious beating, knocking them unconscious.
"Drag them out. We'll interrogate them outside."
Liu Long spoke to his two teammates, then used Earth Escape to reach the surface.
Immediately, he saw an unbelievable sight.
On the ground, at least seventy or eighty Shen Feis were refining the reishi mushroom they had just eaten.
The reishi mushroom was simply enormous, fully as tall as a person... Moreover, it contained an astonishing amount of Chakra, which would take time to refine. So Shen Fei had simply activated the Shadow Clone Technique, creating dozens of Shadow Clones. Each took a bite and then refined it, saving him from wasting a great deal of time.
What kind of technique was this now... The Clone Technique? Then why could the clones cultivate too... Absurd. Absolutely absurd. Just who was this man? He was so terrifying... Liu Long was stunned by Shen Fei's Shadow Clone Technique.
Just then, Li Yun and Zhao Qing came up, carrying the two foreigners on their backs.
They immediately saw the scene before them.
They were utterly horrified.
Are you serious?!
