Feiyun’s face was a picture of indifference as he calmly said, "Young Master, I’m sorry, but Mr. Lu has instructed me to only rescue you. The situation outside is extremely chaotic, and with my abilities, I can only manage to take you alone. If we were to bring Miss Li Xue’er, I’m afraid our escape would be very difficult. Right now, I can only take you!"
"But that won’t do!" Lu Kang was utterly agitated, "Xue’er is my friend, and I could never abandon her. If you won’t rescue her, then just go on your own. I will save her myself!"
As the words fell, Lu Kang rushed over to Li Xue’er and began untying her.
However, just at that moment, Feiyun moved behind Lu Kang, raised his hand high, and struck down hard on Lu Kang’s vagus nerve.
With a loud "thump," Lu Kang had no time to react and fell unconscious.
Li Xue’er looked at Feiyun with a face full of disappointment as he coldly said, "Miss Li Xue’er, I’m sorry, but with my abilities, I truly can’t manage to take both of you at the same time. The storm outside is fierce—fend for yourself!"
After speaking, Feiyun hoisted Lu Kang over his shoulder and quickly left the scene.
Almost all of Hu Ban’s men were engaged in combat with Ye Feng and didn’t notice Feiyun, who effortlessly took Lu Kang out. Once outside the KTV, Feiyun made a phone call to Lu Hangfeng.
"Mr. Lu, I’ve safely extracted the young master. Miss Li Xue’er is still inside..." Feiyun reported.
"Mhm, I’m aware," Lu Hangfeng replied, "Bring Lu Kang back first."
After hanging up the phone, Seventh Uncle furrowed his brows, "Mr. Lu, Ye Feng and the others are still fighting with Hu Ban inside. Are we not going to help them?"
"We have no choice. Hu Ban has numerous men and powerful weapons. Clashing head-on is not worth it for us, and there’s no need for us to start a feud with Hu Ban over a few outsiders!" Lu Hangfeng’s tone was utterly cold, all traces of his usual approachability seemingly swept away.
"So, if Li Linfeng and the others die..." Seventh Uncle began, then sealed his lips shut.
"Correct. To become my business partner, they first need to prove their worth. If they die, the mining of the Spirit Stone cave will naturally have to be handed over to someone else. As for the jadeite they auctioned, I’ll make sure to safeguard it for them..." A smile flitted across Lu Hangfeng’s eyes.
Inside the KTV, Ye Feng and Li Linfeng rode the elevator to the top floor.
At that moment, outside the elevator, over fifty fully armed men were waiting for Ye Feng and his companion to emerge.
With a "boom", Ye Feng punched out, and in an instant, his fist erupted with immensely powerful True Essence.
The True Essence coiled around his fist, transforming into a strong, unyielding fist wind. The gust shook everything, akin to a massive, sturdy pillar of qi in the form of a dragon, slamming heavily into the elevator doors with a resounding crash.
Before the elevator doors could even open, they were blown apart by Ye Feng’s punch.
The fist wind roared like a dragon, its momentum unwavering, and behind the elevator doors, seven or eight enemies were struck by the intense gale.
Screams of agony rang out as they felt themselves being nearly crushed to pieces by the overpowering fist wind, bodies mercilessly thrown against the walls, which collapsed in an instant, sending the seven or eight adversaries plummeting down the building.
Nobody expected that their ambush on Ye Feng would turn the tables, allowing him to strike first and cut down eight men with the force of a thunderbolt.
Ye Feng stepped forward, each stride as heavy as if a weight of ten thousand pounds crashed to the floor, causing the entire corridor to tremble.
Everyone’s bodies shook from the shockwave as Ye Feng made his way to the corridor, tossing out his captive clad in black, as casually as throwing away trash.
"Die!" Ye Feng said coldly.
Then, Ye Feng spread his arms, striking left and right, two Wind Blades condensed from True Essence shot out instantly to either side, slicing through the Void, and the walls were swiftly cleaved apart.
"Splat, splat, splat!" Blood sprayed, and one by one, blooming Blood Lotuses continued to burst forth in the corridor.
"Ah~~" The screams were incessant, and in just the blink of an eye, the entire corridor was piled with bodies.
More than forty of Hu Ban’s men were without exception, all dead...
Li Linfeng felt as though he was about to suffocate; Ye Feng was like a superhuman, unreachable by any harm. It seemed to Li Linfeng as if he were dreaming.
"Lead the way!" Ye Feng demanded coldly.
The man in black, having been thrown to the ground by Ye Feng, was lying prone on the floor, spared from the True Essence Wind Blade.
The man in black trembled all over as he stood up, ridiculing his previous self for how ludicrous he’d been.
He had actually thought Ye Feng was a dead man walking.
Now, it looked like they were nothing but ants leaping and hopping in front of Ye Feng, with no number of them sufficient for Ye Feng to slaughter.
The man in black led Ye Feng towards the private room where Hu Ban was.
"Why is there no noise from outside?" A sense of foreboding rose from the bottom of Hu Ban’s heart within the private room.
Behind Hu Ban were just two men, both radiating potent Blood Qi, with bulging temples and bright, spirited eyes; they were Hu Ban’s strongest bodyguards, both peak Martial Artists with inner strength mastery.
These two martial artists, hired at a high annual salary of one billion, would only take action in times of crisis, but now, even with their protection, Hu Ban felt no sense of security.
"Tap, tap, tap~~" Just then, footsteps sounded from outside the corridor, and as they drew nearer, Hu Ban became anxious.
"The two of you, I’m counting on you this time," he pleaded, "Eliminate that young man, and I’m willing to pay you double your salary!"
Hu Ban spoke earnestly to the two martial artists.
The martial artists nodded: "Boss Hu, don’t worry. With the two of us here, unless a Grandmaster arrives, nobody else tonight will stand a chance..."
"Splurt, splurt~~" Suddenly, trails of blood stretched long.
At the doorway, two True Essence condensed bullets, like shooting stars, stretched instantly, reaching extreme speed, the two peak Martial Artists didn’t even have time to react as their foreheads were penetrated, blood flowing out.
The expressions of the two Martial Artists showed shock as they struggled to utter two words, "Grand... master."
With that, the two martial artists fell to the ground, dead.
