Chapter 377: Chapter 376: Overwhelming
Shadow Slaughter Venerable was also enraged by the power of Yang Fei’s previous punch, and he wanted to see just how strong this person was to withstand him.
Just like Yang Fei, the Lord roared lowly and used a special boxing technique.
The two fists collided fiercely.
The violent shockwave shattered the walls around the entire stairway, creating countless cracks.
After the two forces collided, the Lord grunted, but was still able to hold on.
However, in the next instant, his face underwent a drastic change.
He sensed another incredibly powerful force surging toward him, catching him completely off guard.
"Tidal Power?" the Lord cried out in alarm, with no thought of resistance, he retreated backward immediately.
But it was still too late.
A portion of the Tidal Power still poured into the Lord’s body, causing certain damage to his internal organs.
A trickle of fresh blood flowed from the corner of the Lord’s mouth.
Although Yang Fei had repelled his opponent, he was internally shocked.
He had just used his full strength with those two moves.
With his current combat power, there were not many people in the world who could withstand those two moves, yet the person before him had done just that.
In contrast to Yang Fei’s surprise, the elder in Tang costume was shocked.
He had never imagined there was someone in the secular world who could overpower him in battle.
At this moment, aided by the light in the stairway, his excellent vision allowed him to clearly see Yang Fei’s face, and he couldn’t help but exclaim in shock, "Yang Fei?"
Yang Fei was stunned for a moment, "You know me?"
"I can’t believe it’s you!" the Lord said with darkened eyes and a low cold snort.
Yang Fei said, "Who are you, and how do you know me?"
With Yang Fei’s help, Qin Yanyang’s internal injuries were under control, and she spoke in a deep voice, "This is the headquarters of the Shadow Organization, with his strength so formidable, I’m afraid this is the legendary Lord of Shadow."
"Shadow?"
A cold light flashed in Yang Fei’s eyes as he let go of Qin Yanyang’s hand and strode toward the Lord, "Good, I’ve finally found you. I have no grudges against you, yet you’ve attacked me time and again. Today, it must come to an end."
Seeing Yang Fei’s momentum like a rainbow, as if those two moves had not caused him any harm, the Lord was inwardly startled.
This kid only has the cultivation of the Innate Realm, how has he become so strong?
He had just stayed here, intending to break out after a surprise attack, but he encountered a tough cookie right off the bat.
Now, seeing the surpassing strength of Yang Fei, even greater than his own, he began to think about retreating.
Without any hesitation, he turned and jumped down the stairs.
"Da Da Da!!!"
Qin Yanyang moved her gun and sprayed bullets in pursuit.
She was smart; she didn’t chase after him but preemptively sealed off the Lord’s path, forcing the Lord, despite his strong Protective Gang Qi, to avoid the barrage, effectively blocking his escape.
Yang Fei seized the opportunity and moved in.
The Lord’s expression changed, already injured, he dared not clash with Yang Fei again, he grunted and slammed his body into the wall beside him.
Boom!!!
The wall cracked, and the Lord’s figure passed through it.
"Stop!"
Yang Fei roared, reaching out to grab him.
Cloud Binding Hand!
Void Power surged, and an invisible force bound the Lord’s body.
The Lord’s figure paused visibly, but quickly, he snorted coldly and punched out, dispersing the Void Power binding him with a single punch.
Whoosh!
The Lord jumped into the hole in the wall.
Yang Fei followed and saw that on the other side of the wall was an elevator shaft.
At this moment, the elevator was below, and the only thing visible in the entire space was the elevator cable. The Lord actually slid down the cable, attempting to escape to the bottom of the building.
"Get out of the way!"
Just as Yang Fei was about to give chase, Qin Yanyang grabbed hold of him.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Fei heard a crisp sound in his ear. Being quite familiar with modern hot weapons, his pupils shrank instantly, and he withdrew his body.
Qin Yanyang then threw a dark object in that direction.
Ding ding dang!!
After the object was thrown, it made a clear collision sound with the metal, and moments later, a burst of flames shot out.
Boom!!!
The explosion caused the entire building to tremble slightly.
In the space of the elevator rails, the Lord was rapidly descending along the cable, planning to break through from the bottom of the building, when suddenly a crisp sound reached his ears. His expression changed, and he too thought of a certain possibility.
With nowhere to hide, the cloak on the Lord billowed as he mobilized all his True Qi to form an invisible protective barrier.
Boom!
The explosion followed shortly thereafter, its power magnified in this space. The blast wave rushed down the shaft, and the fire and force instantly caught up to the Lord.
Pfft!
Despite being protected by his Protective Gang Qi, the Lord was still shaken by the massive blast wave. As his body accelerated downward, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
What’s worse, the elevator cable was also blown apart. Several taut cables, when suddenly snapped, were even more terrifying than blades. Amidst the sharp sounds of air being sliced, these cables whipped crazily within the passage, leaving deep grooves in the walls.
One of the cables lashed towards the Lord’s body. Listening to determine the location, he quickly dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding it.
With fresh blood spilling from his mouth, the Lord felt the injuries within his body, his face turning gruesomely grim.
Too humiliated.
The mighty Shadow Slaughter Venerable, a strong man of the Hidden Sect, was actually beaten to such a state by two worldly young men.
This disgrace, he would surely repay tenfold, a hundredfold in the future.
While the Lord harbored resentment in his heart, thinking of revenge, a howling sound came from above him.
His pupils shrank, and he immediately became furious.
They were actually chasing him?
Damnit!
Must they be so desperate?
...
After Qin Yanyang threw down the bomb, Yang Fei stepped back for a moment.
Once the power of the explosion faded, Yang Fei decisively jumped into the elevator shaft.
Since the target was the Lord of the Shadow Organization, there was no way he could let him escape.
Firstly, it was Qin Yanyang’s mission; secondly, the Shadow had targeted him multiple times, and as someone who held grudges, Yang Fei couldn’t let this opportunity slip today.
Qin Yanyang did not follow him. She understood the importance of capturing the Lord, but this was the Shadow Organization’s headquarters. Even though not all the Shadow’s masters were here, there were still several Innate Realm experts in residence. As the commander of this operation, she needed to consider the bigger picture and be responsible for the other members of the Military Department.
"Take them down! Kill any resisters on sight!"
Qin Yanyang gestured with a sweeping hand, speaking to the ten elite members of the Military Department beside her.
Taking the lead, she rushed down the stairs towards the lower floors.
Because the first and second action teams had already attacked from the bottom of the building, many members of the Shadow Organization headed towards the rooftop after hearing the news, looking for a chance to escape. Thus, Qin Yanyang and her team quickly encountered resistance from the enemy.
The opponents also had firearms, but those were not powerful enough. As long as they were not shot in the head, the equipment worn by members of the Military Department could protect them from ordinary bullets.
On the other hand, the bullets fired by members of the Military Department were tremendously powerful. Although these members of the Shadow were Martial Artists, with many being high-level masters in the later stages of the Middle Third Grade of Energy Transformation Realm, they were unable to withstand the sweep of these high-power guns.
The wise ones threw down their weapons and surrendered, ceasing resistance, while the brave charged forward, only to be shot into a sieve and fall into pools of blood.
A complete rout!
This was the tragedy of Martial Artists.
Decades of practice, even if one’s personal strength is immense, still renders one a live target when faced with a wide sweep of modern weaponry.
Those in the Middle Third Grade of Energy Transformation Realm can withstand attacks from ordinary firearms, but against the special high-power weapons of the Military Department members, they were no different from ordinary people.
