Chapter 468: Chapter 279: Forced Entry (2)

"He’s no fool. It’s not like he’ll get into trouble that easily. We should focus on ourselves for now. Finding the right person in a place like this won’t be easy."

Zhao Wu gave a deep look, then turned away and shook his head. After exchanging a few more words, they said their goodbyes to Leng Wuque and also set off on their search.

"Heh, Wuque, I never thought I’d see you in a wheelchair."

Li Ye’s figure suddenly appeared beside Leng Wuque. He chuckled softly as he gazed at Leng Wuque’s condition.

"Heh, it was an accident. Nothing I could do about it. But thank you for being willing to protect me for a while, for Zhongxing’s sake."

Leng Wuque wasn’t offended. He replied cheerfully, but paused midway through and asked:

"Did you tell him?"

"Yes."

Li Ye nodded. "He’s a trustworthy person. Telling him ensures nothing will happen to me here."

"..."

Leng Wuque hesitated for a moment, then nodded again. "I hope so. It might just be my imagination, but I have a bad feeling this won’t go smoothly."

"Why do you say that?"

"I’ve already told you how strong that guy is. Against those two, he wouldn’t even need to act. I could steamroll them myself."

Li Ye asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I don’t know."

Leng Wuque shook his head. "We have too little intel right now, so I can’t say for sure. But this goes against common sense. If the enemy dared to do something like this, they must have some strength to back it up."

"But as it is, they seem completely powerless to fight back. It’s like we have every advantage. That’s highly unusual. I feel like something big is waiting for us down the line."

"What have they done?"

Li Ye asked.

In reality, compared to criminal groups like the Spiritual Sect, the Sea Fish Organization hadn’t really done anything major. To date, their biggest crimes were robbing fishing boats and human trafficking; they had no ambitions of world domination or anything of the sort.

But that was in the past.

Now, Sea Fish was collaborating with Lin Loulan and had Jile Valley backing them. What the people from Jile Valley were doing in Cang City was an open secret among special organizations. It wasn’t that Sea Fish wouldn’t do the same—it was just that the time wasn’t right yet.

But Leng Wuque didn’t say any of this. He just looked up at the sky in silence and said:

"Whether they’ve done anything or not, as long as they’re working with Lin Loulan, we have to destroy them. That man is a terrifying enemy."

"..."

Li Ye was momentarily at a loss for words. However, he agreed with Leng Wuque’s sentiment. For Lin Loulan to be ranked alongside Leng Wuque and Ling Zhongxing, he couldn’t be some simple character. Most importantly, he and Leng Wuque had once been very close.

Therefore, for Leng Wuque to describe him that way, he must be a dangerous figure. As for why the two had fallen out so dramatically, nobody knew, and Leng Wuque never brought up the past.

"Don’t worry. No matter what happens, I’ll be sure to keep you safe and sound. Besides, with Su Xing around, I don’t think we can lose."

"Heh, your high praise of him is actually making me look forward to this."

Leng Wuque chuckled. "Besides, I don’t think we’ll lose, either. I just think it might not go smoothly. After all, our old friend is on his way."

Their conversation was like that of old friends, not at all like what Li Ye had told Su Xing—that they had merely heard of each other. In reality, the moment Li Ye arrived in Cang City, the scheme Leng Wuque had laid out in advance was set into motion.

In other words, the incredibly powerful Su Xing was an unexpected factor; there was no place for him in Leng Wuque’s grand strategy.

After all, when Su Xing had left, he could barely hold his own against a Rank-8. Who could have guessed that upon his return, he would be able to effortlessly slaughter them?

Meanwhile, the best way to find someone should have been to sneak in. But Su Xing had no such intentions. In his eyes, these people were no different from clay chickens and pottery dogs.

He was going to slaughter his way in, openly and in broad daylight.

...

Sea Fish Island—a name the Sea Fish Organization gave the place privately. It was the core domain of the Flipping River Mirage, and his power perpetually shrouded Lei Family Village and the surrounding areas in a hazy veil.

Rumor had it that Sea Fish Island was overflowing with treasure, and a single trip there could set you up for life. But this rumor was ridiculed by many; if the Sea Fish Organization was really so rich, why did they still need to commit robbery and illegal deeds every day?

Another rumor claimed the Sea Fish Organization was actually cursed by a demon, granting them powers beyond human comprehension. Otherwise, in an era of peace, how could they dare to commit such acts so openly?

Both these rumors, in fact, originated before the announcement of the Spiritual Qi recovery. Looking back now, while slightly flawed, they weren’t far from the truth.

For example, Sea Fish Island was indeed overflowing with treasure. As the saying goes, the most profitable businesses are often illegal. And since they were leaders in that industry, they naturally had no shortage of gold and silver.

It was just that all this treasure belonged to the Flipping River Mirage and the Sea-Overturning Jiao. It had bugger-all to do with the grunts under them. So even after joining the criminal enterprise, they still had to steal and rob as usual.

As for being cursed by a demon, that was naturally their Extraordinary power. It simply hadn’t been made public at the time, leading to such rumors. Still, this demonstrated the Sea Fish Organization’s influence over the local area.

As the foremost criminal group in the vicinity, the Sea Fish Organization naturally had many subordinates. At this moment, they were patrolling the valleys as usual. Some were slacking off on their phones, while others were playing poker. Suddenly, however, they all sensed that something was wrong.

"Cang City organization! Everyone on your knees, or be killed without mercy!"

A sudden, explosive roar, like a clap of thunder, detonated between the valleys, making everyone’s ears ring.

Most of them didn’t even register what the thunderous voice had said. They just instinctively looked over, only to witness a sight they would never forget for the rest of their lives.

They saw a man with a body like steel rebar standing there. Beside him floated a crimson flying sword, which instantly slashed toward them.

KRAK!

The earth split, and space shattered. The Sparrow Sword, carrying the sound of tearing space, shot out like a cannonball. It crossed a distance of over a thousand meters, instantly ripping the entire island apart with unimaginable power.

BOOM!!!!

Amidst the deafening roar, the entire island seemed to split in two. Countless rocks burst into the air, and everyone found it impossible to stand, stumbling to their feet only to fall again.

A few unlucky bastards didn’t even have time to react before the Sparrow Sword pierced straight through them. Its immense power tore their fragile bodies to shreds, not even leaving behind a single scrap.

And then, before the terrified eyes of all, the man with the body like steel rebar bent his legs slightly and lunged!

BOOM!

The already battered ground shattered again under Su Xing’s push. Rubble and dust flew everywhere, leaving behind a crater so massive the eye could barely take it in.

Amidst that terrifying boom, the monster-like man transformed into an uncatchable silhouette. He tore through the air like a tempest shattering space itself, kicking up a massive, raging storm.

A series of spatial fissures appeared in his wake, arranged like rings of vapor. And in the center of these fissures, the man shot toward the valley with unparalleled ferocity!
