Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1278: Chapter 420: Recuperation in Fengyang Village, Ambush and Grave Injuries, Hatred and Fury (Part 4)

Those two men only have Earth-digging Realm cultivation. When they walked in, their expressions were noticeably a bit anxious, standing at the door without daring to move. It was only after Lin Kai gave the nod that they slowly started to make their way toward the table.

The man on the left seemed to be more talkative. When he was still five or six meters away from the table, he began to introduce them to Lin Kai and the others with a smile.

“Sir, this beast meat isn’t anything valuable, just something to stave off your hunger. But these melons and fruits, they’re special from our Fengyang Village…”

Swish……

Unfortunately, the man’s words were interrupted halfway.

When he was about two meters away from the table, Lin Kai suddenly drew the Qianwu Sword from the table, simultaneously, three blood-red Holy Patterns quietly appeared at his brow. A flash of silver sword edge, swift as lightning, abruptly stabbed toward the man before him.

Lin Kai’s strength, how terrifying!

His sudden attack left no one in the room able to react.

Except for Li Longkai!

He almost moved in sync with Lin Kai, but his strength was slightly inferior. So when Lin Kai swung his sword edge, his knife was just unsheathed, and its sword edge, a step slower, suddenly slashed at the man carrying the wooden tray ahead of him.

Their moves indeed varied in speed, but it was certain that their target—the two middle-aged men carrying beast meat and fruits—were completely unresponsive.

The sword light and knife flash appeared simultaneously, and the expressions on the faces of those two middle-aged men instantly showed shock and panic, clearly having no prior preparation for Lin Kai and Li Longkai’s sudden attack.

But it must be said, their reaction speed was terrifying.

The shock and panic on their faces lasted for less than a moment before quickly transforming into sharpness and ferocity.

The man on the left immediately released the beast meat and raised a hidden long knife from behind it, holding it up to guard against his face; the man on the right suddenly raised his hand, a silver long sword slashed the wooden tray into two pieces, then horizontally sliced the sword edge to collide fiercely with Li Longkai’s blade flash.

Pfft……

Clang!

“Dongning!”

Chen Yiqing used his longsword to block Li Longkai’s blade edge, his body instantly flying backward two or three meters. The seriousness and horror on his face hadn’t yet faded when he realized something, suddenly turning his head to look to the left. Upon seeing Chu Dongning’s situation, his eyes cracked with anger, letting out a furious roar.

He managed to block Li Longkai’s blade flash, but the other side, Chu Dongning didn’t have as good luck.

Chu Dongning’s original intention was to use the blade surface to block Lin Kai’s direct sword edge. Evidently, he was very confident in his strength, having enough faith to see through Lin Kai’s stabbing sword edge.

This confidence cost him dearly.

Lin Kai’s power and speed with his sword far exceeded Chu Dongning’s expectations. Not to mention blocking the sword edge with the blade surface, his long knife hadn’t even fully raised when Lin Kai’s Qianwu Sword already pierced through from the left side of his chest, penetrating the heart area.

Chu Dongning looked down at Lin Kai in front of him, his face full of shock, realizing that his life force within was rapidly disappearing. He suddenly gathered his last bit of strength and shouted: “54 Zong, run, quickly…”

Pfft!

“You two mice, can you really escape?”

Lin Kai withdrew his longsword without a hint of hesitation, slicing horizontally across Chu Dongning’s neck. His body surged forward, charging straight at the other man.

“Dongning…”

Heart penetrated, neck slashed open, Chen Yiqing gave a mournful cry; knowing his good brother was beyond salvation, even though his heart was filled with hateful annoyance, he fiercely pushed Li Longkai aside, breaking through the building, fleeing toward the outside.

54 Zong, Chu Dongning’s last shout was clearly a warning about Lin Kai’s true strength, urging him to run. How could he not hear it?

“54 Zong, how could it be 54 Zong? I examined so many times; he had revealed his power before, clearly only 35 Zong, clearly only 35 Zong…”

As Chen Yiqing fled, he internally screamed. Although not blood-related, his relationship with Chu Dongning was closer than that of real brothers over the thirty years of knowing each other. His mistaken judgment led to Chu Dongning’s death, the regret and rage raging inside him for the mistake were unimaginable.

“Hidden for half a year, finally managed to drag this mouse out!”

But now was clearly not the time for his anger and regret.

As Lin Kai’s voice rang out, a sword light abruptly struck from behind. Knowing there was no escape, a fierce gleam flashed in Chen Yiqing’s eyes. He turned with his sword to slash at the incoming sword edge.

Clang……

The sword edges clashed, Chen Yiqing’s hand shook violently, seeing Lin Kai in front of him, his face finally showing a concentrated horror.

Chu Dongning wasn’t wrong, no, he actually understated it.

Lin Kai’s strength was at least 55 Zong!

Overwhelmingly strong compared to him, this… this… how could it be?

Swish……

Lin Kai clearly saw the horror on Chen Yiqing’s face, but his heart was filled only with rage, not bothering with it. The longsword abruptly flipped, pointing out a dozen sword lights consecutively aimed at Chen Yiqing’s vital points.

The deaths of Three Towns Chamber of Commerce people had a mastermind behind it, confirmed since early last October. But in order not to alert the snake, Great Xia and Eight Towns had agreed not to disclose the news, enticing the perpetrator to make another move.

Subsequent events went as Great Xia expected. From last October to this February, over a hundred people in Eight Towns suffered at the perpetrator’s hands, with the culprit always leaving a companion alive then using memory alteration techniques to pin the blame on Great Xia.
