A Fellow Local Shoots Another in the Back

Cao Fengqi's invincibility in Liangmin County was not due to arrogance, but rather to absolute confidence.

Throughout Liangmin County, those with stronger Transcendent Sequence are also in the second tier.

Their experience level will be higher than Cao Fengqi's, and their weapons may be level 7.

However, with two level 6 Nightmare monsters and six level 5 Nightmare monsters, plus Cao Fengqi's own strength, he was confident that he could defeat any extraordinary individual in Liangmin County.

"I also have the Xiaotian Dog; that guy's evolution speed is terrifying."

As Cao Fengqi pondered this, he waved his Shepherd's Robe.

"Roar!"

The Xiaotian Dog appeared beside him and gave him a low, obedient growl.

"A level 6 Nightmare corpse, do you think we can eat it?"

Cao Fengqi pointed to the corpse of a Nightmare.

He didn't even collect level 6 souls or level 6 Black Ice Feather Plume from this level 6 Nightmare, hoping that the Xiaotian Dog could grow quickly and reach level 6 as soon as possible after absorbing them.

"Roar!"

The Xiaotian Dog's eyes lit up when it saw this, and it immediately ran over to tear at and devour the food.

"Hmm? That works, and... the digestion speed of eating demonic beasts is significantly faster than that of metal!"

Cao Fengqi looked at the Xiaotian Dog with a smile, then put the Nightmare he had contracted into his Shepherd's Beast Robe.

The Shepherd's Beast Robe can quickly restore the stamina and injuries of pets, and these Nightmare were all seriously injured.

[Scanned within a 3km radius; 1 new Level 4 resource, 4 new Level 5 resources, and 3 new Level 6 resources added.]

"???"

Just as Cao Fengqi contract the last Nightmare, a message from the resource scan suddenly came in.

"This is?"

He paused, looking at the somewhat familiar information about the supplies, and his gaze immediately swept over it.

"That guy wasn't killed by Nightmare?"

"You actually dare to come?"

Cao Fengqi narrowed his eyes slightly, watching the 'familiar face' rapidly approaching him, and muttered to himself.

He checked the number of Impact Blast Bullet; there were 32 left.

"That's enough. Since you like this place so much, bury me here."

Filled with killing intent, Cao Fengqi quickly completed the contract with the last Nightmare and began to move.

"The sound of the extraordinary gun came from within the Nightmare's domain. Is someone fighting those Nightmare?"

"Is it the guy who plotted against me?"

At the same time, two kilometers away from Cao Fengqi, a figure approached like a ghost.

"I was almost killed by Nightmare before. If I find out who you are..."

A murderous glint flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes as he stared into the distance, black supernatural flames slowly rising from his body.

"The darkness merges with my body, my shadow returns to dust."

"Nightfall seals away all traces, shadows conceal hidden secrets."

Enveloped in extraordinary dark flames, he instantly Concealment into the darkness, his form invisible and his presence undetectable.

There wasn't even a footprint left on the ground.

This is his strongest method of Concealment, and also the skill he is most proud of.

"It smells bloody..."

"I can't sense Nightmare's presence anymore. Could it be that Nightmare has been killed?"

"Dark Eyes, piercing the darkness, open!"

As he drew nearer, the Dark Night Executioner, walking in the darkness, possessed a keen sense of blood and scent.

The middle-aged man frowned slightly, and a flame began to flicker in his eyes.

His eyesight improved dramatically in an instant.

"These are... Nightmare corpses, quite a few of them."

"Hiss---"

He was startled when he saw the corpses of the Nightmare.

He had experienced the strength of these Nightmare firsthand.

He simply didn't have the strength to fight back, so he could only flee.

Now, it seems this group of Nightmare has been wiped out.

His scalp tingled slightly, and his face showed extreme vigilance as he hesitated whether to continue approaching.

"Even though the guys who wipe out the Nightmare might get injured, I can't gamble with that."

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, then prepared to retreat.

"Huh?"

At the same time, Cao Fengqi, Concealment more than 800 meters away, saw the figure suddenly stop. He raised an eyebrow slightly. "Did they discover the situation at Nightmare's location? Are they trying to retreat?"

"Can you get away?"

Cao Fengqi's eyes flashed, and with a swift movement, he quickly flanked from the side.

He certainly didn't want anyone else wandering around his territory, coveting his property.

Intruders must die!

Cao Fengqi, with his external positioning ability, quickly circled around to a position 500 meters to the left of the middle-aged man.

"That's fine."

His gaze sharpened, and he picked up the Gold Fire Blast Gun.

Bang bang bang!

In an instant, three Impact Blast Bullet imbued with Emberfire streaked through the night, heading towards the intruders five hundred meters away.

"What?"

At that moment, the middle-aged man, who was Concealment in the darkness, heard the sudden gunshot and saw the bullet approaching from his left. His expression changed drastically.

This time, he was completely Concealment in the darkness.

How did they get discovered?

"Dark Night Raid!"

His figure materialized, and extraordinary dark flames surged from his body, instantly unleashing a terrifying speed of evasion.

The bullet whizzed past his cheek, and the middle-aged man's face was filled with lingering fear.

"Such accurate shooting."

Bang bang bang!

Just as he was filled with alarm, the sound of gunfire rang out again.

The middle-aged man was somewhat shocked and angry. A black dagger appeared in his hand, and the light armor on his body condensed into a tiger phantom to block in front of him.

His gaze was fixed on the figure shooting at him in the distance.

"This face?"

When he saw the figure's face, a name flashed through his mind.

His movements didn't slow down; the dagger flashed with a Dark Light Slash, striking directly at the Impact Blast Bullet.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

He deflected two bullets, one of which landed on the tiger phantom in front of him.

The phantom image of the tiger in front of him dimmed slightly for a moment.

"A level 6 extraordinary spear."

The middle-aged man felt a sinking feeling in his heart upon seeing the immense damage.

"Bang bang bang!" Just then, gunshots rang out again.

The middle-aged man's expression completely changed, and he hurriedly shouted, "Cao Fengqi, he's one of us, a fellow villager!"

He shouted as he quickly dodged and blocked the incoming bullets.

"???"

Five hundred meters away, Cao Fengqi, who was firing his Gold Fire Blast Gun, heard the sound coming from ahead and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

"The other person actually recognized me? A fellow villager?"

He was extremely surprised and asked, "Who are you?"

"Zhang Mo of Liangmin County, Zhang Mo the Dark Night Executioner."

A response came immediately from the other side.

"Zhang Mo?"

Upon hearing this name, Cao Fengqi recalled information about Zhang Mo.

Zhang Mo, Transcendent Sequence executioner in Liangmin County.

Cao Fengqi didn't know anything about him before, but today, from the information Sister Youya gave him, he learned all about the other person.

Zhang Mo, 43 years old, is the most tragic Transcendent Sequence in Liangmin County.

Six years ago, before he became a superhuman, his family was attacked by evil spirits.

The entire family of eighteen, including their son, died.

Only he and his wife, Song Wenwen, survived.

But after this incident, the wife, who had lost her loved one, went insane.

Later, Zhang Mo became Transcendent Sequence and searched for items to cure his wife, trading high prices with other transcendents in Liangmin County for treasures that could enhance their mental power.

He is withdrawn, taciturn, solitary, and aloof.

This is the evaluation of it from the information provided.

Cao Fengqi gazed ahead with a flicker in his eyes, then slowly approached.

Ahead, Zhang Mo saw that he hadn't fired any more shots and breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

He stared at the approaching young figure, feeling a sense of awe.

Although he was very withdrawn and rarely interacted with others, he was still aware of the boy ahead of him.

The youngest prodigy in Liangmin County.

He was also present on the day the conflict with the Wang Family occurred and he was protected by Deputy County Magistrate Xiao.

Only----

Looking at the boy wielding that powerful, extraordinary spear, and thinking of the annihilated Nightmare horde and the terrifying attack the enemy had just unleashed, his heart was filled with turmoil.

This young man's strength is absolutely unmatched in Liangmin County.

"It's someone from my hometown."

Looking at the gun still pointed at him, Zhang Mo opened his mouth, then said with some apprehension, "Don't shoot, I mean no harm!"

"Hehe, what a fellow villager!"

After Cao Fengqi approached and confirmed his identity, he smiled and said, "It's just a normal greeting between fellow villagers who shoot each other in the back. I meant no harm. We've become friends through this unexpected encounter. Finally... welcome to Cao Family Town."

"..."

Zhang Mo looked at him speechlessly.

It's perfectly normal for fellow countrymen to shoot each other in the back when they meet.

You call that without malicious intent?

How can you call it "no fight, no friendship" when you shoot yourself?
