Chapter 173 - 172: Ambush

A flash of anger flickered in Lisa’s eyes. No one had ever dared to speak to her that way.

"Lisa, you worthless bitch! How dare you cheat on me! I’m going to beat you to death!"

A fat man, dressed head-to-toe in designer brands, entered the car. The moment he saw Lisa practically pressing herself into Shu Feng’s arms, he flew into a rage. He stormed over in a few large strides and swung a heavy slap at Lisa’s face.

Just as the fat man’s hand was about to connect with Lisa’s face, it suddenly swelled, emitting a faint blue glow. A nauseating, foul stench wafted from it as it abruptly changed course, striking for Shu Feng’s head.

’Just as I thought!’

Shu Feng smirked and unleashed his Great Sun Palm. It struck the fat man’s right hand like a rising sun.

BANG!!

The fat man spat out a torrent of blood as he was sent flying into the wall of the train car. His skin turned bright red, and wisps of smoke rose from his body as he coughed up mouthfuls of blood, trembling uncontrollably.

"Murder! Murder!!"

Lisa let out a terrified shriek and quickly fled. She was just a high-class prostitute paid to put on a show; she never imagined she’d get caught up in a murder, and her heart was filled with terror.

Shu Feng stared coldly at the fat Assassin. "How did you know my whereabouts?"

"I...!"

The moment the fat Assassin opened his mouth, his body twisted. With a pop, a thin golden line shot out like lightning, stabbing viciously at Shu Feng.

CLANG!

Shu Feng drew his Fourth-Tier Spirit Sword, [Heavy Rain], and slashed at the thin golden line, cutting it in two. A small golden snake, now severed in half, dropped to the floor.

Shu Feng snapped his fingers. A Ghost-devouring Demon quickly moved forward, patted down the fat Assassin’s body, and found a black dagger.

’What a poor bastard.’

A look of disgust flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes. With a swing of [Heavy Rain], he shattered the train window and leaped out of the high-speed rail car, which was hurtling along at over 155 miles per hour.

"Damn it, he’s escaped!"

A security camera in the train car shifted slightly. The person monitoring the feed paled.

Three Assassins in black cloaks and masks, holding Spiritual Spears, burst into the car. They stared at the shattered window, looking at each other in dismay.

One Assassin said, "Report to the master immediately!"

On a small hill about thirty miles ahead, an Assassin in a black cloak and mask was reporting respectfully to a young man. The man had red hair, black eyes, and a slight, sinister smile. "Sir," the Assassin said, "the target jumped from the train. Shall we proceed with the plan?"

"Of course, we proceed! Besides us, all other humans are nothing but worthless maggots. Who cares how many maggots die? Hahahaha!!"

The red-haired, black-eyed young man with the mysterious Demon Patterns on his forehead grinned wickedly and squeezed a remote control hard in his hand.

BOOM!

A terrifying explosion suddenly erupted on the tracks ahead of the speeding train. The locomotive was blown to pieces, and the massive cars behind it buckled, twisted, and overturned from the sheer inertia.

"Hahaha, let the hunt begin! My dear junior! A Heavenly-level Spiritual Ability User... I’m so jealous! So jealous I want to make a wine cup out of your skull!"

The red-haired, black-eyed young man with the mysterious Demon Patterns on his forehead smiled cruelly. His figure blurred, and he swooped down from the hill like a great bird, disappearing into the darkness.

One by one, the powerful experts in black cloaks followed the red-haired, black-eyed young man.

Shu Feng raced through the darkness alone. Empowered by the [Lord of the Dark Night’s Magic Ring], he was like a fish in water. His body felt incredibly light, and his vision was several times sharper than it was in daylight.

’They went and blew up the train after all! Those vicious bastards.’

Shu Feng paused for a moment and glanced toward the destroyed railway tracks, a bone-chilling killing intent flashing in his eyes. He then continued on, escaping into a forest on a mountain with hundred-meter-tall trees.

「Five minutes later.」

Twenty powerful figures in black cloaks and masks arrived before the same forest.

BANG!!

The sharp crack of a sniper rifle suddenly rang out. The head of one of the cloaked Assassins exploded, splattering red and white all over the ground.

"Sniper! We’ve got a sniper! Watch out!"

One of the cloaked Assassins shouted a warning. His figure blurred as he charged into the forest, diving for cover behind a large tree.

A Ghost-devouring Demon lying prone on the ground suddenly burst forth, its claws aimed straight for the cloaked Assassin’s heart.

The cloaked Assassin instantly activated his Spiritual Power, unleashing the Spiritual Pressure of the Great Spirit Master Level. A Membrane of Spiritual Power that resembled snake scales formed over his body, allowing him to twist unnaturally in mid-air.

The Ghost-devouring Demon’s claws struck the scale-like Membrane of Spiritual Power, tearing a crack in the defense and barely managing to inflict a gash on the cloaked Assassin’s body.

BANG!

Having narrowly dodged the Ghost-devouring Demon’s sneak attack, the cloaked Assassin fired his Spiritual Spear backhandedly, blowing the demon’s head to smithereens.

WHOOSH!!

An arrow shot out like a shooting star, instantly piercing the head of the Great Spirit Master Level cloaked Assassin and pinning him to the ground.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

A volley of shots rang out. As the cloaked Assassins entered the forest, they were ambushed by Ghost-devouring Demons lying in wait on the ground. Four of them were killed instantly, and the rest were wounded. However, being experts of the Spirit Master Level, they all fought back, engaging the Ghost-devouring Demons in a bloody melee.

Almost simultaneously, Black Iron Demon Sparrows descended from the treetops, diving toward the cloaked Assassins with their razor-sharp talons.

The Black Dog Illusion Demons hiding in the tall grass also sprang out, furiously attacking the cloaked Assassins.

One by one, the cloaked Assassins wielding Spiritual Spears had their skulls torn open by the Black Iron Demon Sparrows, their bodies collapsing to the ground.

In no time at all, all twenty of the Top Level Assassins had been eliminated.
