The Unique Feng Shui Master
However, things could not always favor Xiao Yefeng. As the one-month period agreed upon by Xiao Yefeng approached, he had already been outside for twenty-five days. Today, Xiao Yefeng and his team had just launched a surprise attack on the last base of their target. According to news from Huaxia, all members of Perfect World had been gathered, and the peripheral industries had essentially given up completely. Therefore, Xiao Yefeng and his team decided to return.
Among them, three members were injured and returned to Huaxia, while Peng Weiguo had already led a team to welcome Xiao Yefeng and the other four. However, just as they arrived at the designated location, Xiao Yefeng felt a tightness in his chest. His Spirit instantly expanded, and sure enough, an enemy team was lying in ambush nearby; if they advanced any further, they would fall into the enemy's trap!
"Who is waiting here? Xiao Yefeng is here!" After more than twenty days of bloody battles, the killing intent emanating from Xiao Yefeng could no longer be concealed. The Yin-Yang Sword in his hand had tasted countless blood; combined with his aura, Xiao Yefeng resembled a ferocious demon.
At that moment, the ambushers realized that Xiao Yefeng had discovered them and did not hide anymore. They emerged from the front, led by a familiar figure—the Beast Elder—who was now following a young man like a servant. The young man was no stranger either; he was the Masked Man who had nearly pushed Xiao Yefeng into a corner within the Nine-Tiered Demon Tower!
"It’s been a while! Your killing intent has certainly grown; compared to you, I think you look more like a villain!" The Masked Man smiled through his mask.
"I am a villain! And you are no good either! Everywhere I go is where you turn living people into ultimate warriors; how is this any different from beasts?" Xiao Yefeng retorted.
"Survival of the fittest; we are merely following the orders of the God of Sorcery!" The Masked Man replied.
"Hmph! What are you here for? To exterminate us?" Xiao Yefeng asked.
"To be honest, I would love to fight you, but I hold no hatred towards you! However, others do! Let’s cut to the chase: we are here to inform you that Master has invited you. Three days from now, we will host a banquet at the Recruitment Platform to discuss cooperation!" The Masked Man stated.
At this moment, Xiao Yefeng felt a surge of joy because Master had finally fallen into his trap. What he wanted was for Master to propose cooperation. This was also the reason why he had led his team to destroy Perfect World’s bases and eliminate its members over these past twenty days! Because of this, many organizations that joined Perfect World chose to remain cautious, fearing they might provoke Xiao Yefeng's team!
Moreover, this slaughter had allowed Xiao Yefeng to discover and continuously disrupt Perfect World’s organization that supplied ultimate warriors for the God of Sorcery. If this continued, they would be unable to report back to the God of Sorcery. Thus, they could only rely on their current advantage to negotiate with Xiao Yefeng!
However favorable the situation seemed for him, Xiao Yefeng could not give them face. He directly stated, "But why should I agree to your invitation? In just over twenty days, I have located four of your ultimate warrior storage sites and burned a thousand ultimate warriors! If this continues, I will directly sabotage your plans!"
The Masked Man chuckled softly and said, "That’s true; however, we were able to find out your imminent return location to Huaxia. Do you think you can continue? Moreover, we already know where your family in Huaxia and your friends hiding in the African savanna are! Don’t you want to consider them? We have quite an interest in those two children!"
The Masked Man burned several photos in front of Xiao Yefeng. The images depicted Xiao Moran training, Xiao Mohan playing in the water, Liu Qing and Mu Ding strolling in the park, and the Heishan family gathered around a fire in Grandpa Xiao's village. The photos were taken from a close distance, clearly showing they were nearby. As soon as these photos appeared, Xiao Yefeng exploded with rage!
A flash of light erupted beneath his feet, and he charged directly at the Masked Man, raising his iron fist filled with Qi. Xiao Yefeng struck the Masked Man's chest with a powerful punch, but a Jade Flute blocked his attack! An explosive sound wave erupted from the Jade Flute, causing Xiao Yefeng to roll away to avoid the shockwave while simultaneously drawing his Yin-Yang Sword, pointing its blade directly at the Masked Man's throat.
At that moment, Xiao Yefeng's sudden assault ignited a battle between both sides. In an instant, both parties raised their firearms, but they were halted by Xiao Yefeng and the Masked Man simultaneously. Seizing the advantage with a swift sword strike, Xiao Yefeng endured an explosive attack that was neutralized by his Dragon Robe. He then countered with a thrust of his sword aimed straight at the Masked Man's abdomen—a strike that the Masked Man could not evade.
Just then, the Beast Elder finally made his move. With a flick of his Ancient Jade Staff, a black-gray ghostly figure appeared before his sword and exploded violently, forcing Xiao Yefeng back and staggering the Masked Man. However, Xiao Yefeng would not let this opportunity slip away; as the Masked Man retreated, the Beast Elder was left exposed. The Beast Elder was pushed back while Xiao Yefeng hurled his Yin-Yang Sword like a dart, aiming for the Beast Elder's vital point!
"You!" roared the Beast Elder as he threw down his Ancient Jade Staff. In an instant, the staff was pierced by the Yin-Yang Sword and exploded upon impact. The Yin-Yang Sword returned to Xiao Yefeng's hand under his control technique. The Beast Elder coughed up blood due to the destruction of his staff but was fortunately caught by several armored Ultimate Warriors behind him.
Holding the Yin-Yang Sword upside down, Xiao Yefeng stood firm against the wind. In this exchange, he had gained the upper hand against two opponents. However, he sensed that the Masked Man's strength seemed unchanged since their encounter at the Nine-Tiered Demon Tower—a peculiar observation that he chose to ignore.
Meanwhile, the Beast Elder struggled to suppress the Qi surging within him that threatened to damage his meridians and stood up to say, "Alright! Don't get too worked up; we in Perfect World have our own way of dealing with things. We are not here to fight; will you accept negotiations?"
"Show some sincerity if you want to negotiate! You were the ones who threatened my family first!" replied Xiao Yefeng.
"Fine! State your demands!" The Beast Elder had just sustained serious injuries and was still bleeding from his mouth.
"Heal my teammates and return them to me!" demanded Xiao Yefeng.
"Impossible!" Before Xiao Yefeng could finish speaking, the Masked Man interjected. "They have already been delivered to our Master; we cannot take them back! And I believe you know that Ultimate Warriors cannot be revived—they are all living dead!"
"We came with sincerity; do not push us too far! Present acceptable terms!" The Beast Elder had no choice but to soften his stance since revealing the Masked Man's secret was temporarily off-limits. Without exposing this secret, no one here could match Xiao Yefeng.
Xiao Yefeng nodded in agreement and said, "Return Mo Fei to us; otherwise, there will be no negotiations!"
Unexpectedly, both the Masked Man and the Beast Elder agreed, saying, "Then it's settled! We'll meet at the Recruitment Platform in three days!"
With that, the Masked Man led the Beast Elder and others away, disappearing from sight in an instant. At that moment, Han Duhuo asked, "Major Xiao, why didn't you just keep them here?"
"No way! I am confident I can take down the Beast Elder, but this Masked Man... I know he is not as weak as he appeared today. He was also involved in the Nine-Tiered Demon Tower incident; his strength must be concealed. Once a real battle begins, we will be at a disadvantage in numbers. Those ultimate warriors behind him are not the ordinary ones we've encountered. The plan has succeeded; there’s no need for sacrifices. You all are the core strength of this mission, and the future of Earth relies on your efforts! We cannot afford any losses here!" Xiao Yefeng shook his head.
What he didn’t realize was that his words warmed Han Duhuo and the others' hearts. Xiao Yefeng had acted like a cold-blooded killer throughout their journey, leaving no one alive among those who participated in the ultimate warrior transformations, regardless of age or gender. However, this statement revealed to Han Duhuo and the others that this man, who was even younger than them, was not a complete cold-blooded assassin.
The operation was nearly a complete success; however, the only issue was that Xiao Yefeng learned that all his teammates had been transformed into ultimate warriors, and Qing chose to end her life. Soon after, Peng Weiguo's welcoming team arrived, and Xiao Yefeng and the others boarded a plane back to Huaxia.
After more than twenty battles, Xiao Yefeng's heart could not find rest, which also allowed him to forget his sorrow for a while. Now sitting on the plane returning to Beijing North, he could no longer suppress his grief. He pulled down the visor of his helmet and silently shed tears alone. Memories flooded back to him, especially of Na and their efforts to break into Virgo Palace Master's Underground Base to buy enough time for Sophia to rescue him and Consort Mi.
On one hand, Na and the others were his benefactors; on the other hand, he could hardly believe the news of their deaths. Xiao Yefeng had been using slaughter to suppress his anger and sorrow, but at this moment of releasing his burdens, he finally couldn’t hold back any longer!
Meanwhile, Han Duhuo and the others on the plane noticed Xiao Yefeng's unusual behavior. Meng Qing wanted to speak but was stopped by Han Duhuo. They were all soldiers who had lost many comrades in battles against Perfect World over recent years; they understood Xiao Yefeng's feelings at this moment. There was no joy of victory on the plane—only deep reflections on their fallen comrades.
The plane quickly returned to Huaxia. Upon disembarking, they were picked up by special vehicles and soon arrived at a secret base where Xiao Yefeng and the others met Jiang Xing and the current Supreme Leader of Huaxia One.
After briefing them on everything and discussing the next steps of their plan, Xiao Yefeng returned home with heavy footsteps. He had already informed the current Supreme Commander of his plans; there was no other solution available. After discussing among themselves, they decided to keep this information confidential. Only those who participated in the mission and a few from the Supreme Commander knew about it. Although the Supreme Commander strongly advised against it, he also understood that this was the only way forward.
