Flawless Metropolitan Divine Emperor

Chapter 0068 – Dark forces

"Turns out all of this was orchestrated by you. I'll fight you to the end!" Cheng Zhenjie finally realized that everything was a scheme directed and performed by Zhu Bajie, a conspiracy entirely planned by him.

"Jiang Yang, get him! Give him a good beating," Zhu Bajie shouted.

"Got it, boss." Jiang Yang nodded at a few of the boys, and they immediately surrounded Cheng Zhenjie, each wearing a cold smile.

At this moment, any semblance of camaraderie was gone; everything was for the sake of the conspiracy.

Even though everyone now knew it was Zhu Bajie who had arranged for people to rob them, no one dared to speak up.

Because in the current situation, whoever spoke up would be doomed.

Unsurprisingly, Cheng Zhenjie couldn't fend off the crowd alone and was beaten up by Jiang Yang and the others.

"Cheng Zhenjie," Jiang Feng shouted, "If you have the guts, come at me. Leave him out of this."

Jiang Feng stood up, ready to rush over to help Cheng Zhenjie.

But Mr. Hei blocked his way, saying, "Kid, your opponent is me."

Jiang Feng's eyes widened in fury, his anger reaching its peak.

This is too much!

Unforgivable!

"Get out of my way," Jiang Feng roared, striking out with a palm, a lion's roar accompanied by blazing flames.

"Not bad," Mr. Hei said calmly. His body seemed to turn transparent, splitting in the middle and skillfully dodging Jiang Feng's palm.

This time, Jiang Feng learned his lesson. After the palm strike, he followed up with a punch.

His fist was like a mountain, the roar of a tiger shaking the heavens, spreading a domineering force in all directions, creating ripples like a giant stone thrown into a lake.

One palm followed by a punch, and Mr. Hei was indeed hit, taking a punch to his left rib. He grunted and stepped back three paces.

This was the consequence of underestimating his opponent.

Mr. Hei looked at Jiang Feng in surprise, saying, "I didn't expect you to be so resilient."

"You've been overestimating yourself all along. No one ever thought you were that powerful," Jiang Feng sneered. "You're just a bit faster and have some strange moves. What else can you do?"

"Then come and find out. I have plenty of moves, you just don't know them yet," Mr. Hei said. "But I think you're running out of tricks. These are all the moves you have, right? Heh, am I wrong?"

Jiang Feng was slightly taken aback. Mr. Hei was right; Jiang Feng indeed only knew a few moves. He realized he needed to practice more techniques in the future, or he wouldn't be able to handle situations like this.

"What you say is just talk. Let's see the real deal," Jiang Feng said.

Having suffered earlier, Jiang Feng was now much more alert. It wouldn't be easy for Mr. Hei to take him down again.

As Jiang Feng said, Mr. Hei was just faster and had a trident dagger. Without paying attention to these two points, he wasn't that hard to deal with.

The two clashed again, this time evenly matched.

Mr. Hei started to get impatient.

Meanwhile, Cheng Zhenjie was no longer in danger. His desperate struggle had scared Zhu Bajie and the others, so no one dared to make a move.

However, Cheng Zhenjie's forehead was still cut, blood flowing freely.

This was good; with Cheng Zhenjie safe, Jiang Feng could focus on Mr. Hei.

"Come on, show me your true skills," Jiang Feng charged at Mr. Hei, striking with both a fist and a palm, the force overwhelming.

Mr. Hei squinted his eyes, not daring to underestimate him, and once again used his body-transforming technique, turning into black mist.

The sound of wind howled as Mr. Hei's body flickered, avoiding any harm.

But Jiang Feng was prepared. He swung his right arm, a flame rising, his arm instantly doubling in size, covered in fiery patterns, a Fire Kylin roaring to life.

"Kylin's Right Arm!"

With a loud bang, Jiang Feng's right arm struck Mr. Hei.

With a thud, Mr. Hei's body returned to normal, looking at Jiang Feng in shock, shouting, "How can you have such power too?"

Jiang Feng was stunned. What did he mean by "too"? Did Mr. Hei have it as well?

Thinking it over, Jiang Feng finally understood. No wonder Mr. Hei had a strange aura; he was likely part of the dark forces.

A martial artist who had fallen for power, selling his soul for some formidable ability.

If Mr. Hei was indeed part of the dark forces, then his bizarre technique was probably a power obtained from a demon.

The more Jiang Feng thought about it, the more he believed it.

"Why can you have it, but I can't?" Jiang Feng probed.

"Hmph, don't try to trick me. You'll never guess my true identity. Fight me again," Mr. Hei snorted, his body like a black cloud attacking Jiang Feng once more.

Jiang Feng coldly smiled. Mr. Hei's reaction confirmed at least half of his guess.

With Kylin's Right Arm, all evil could be vanquished.

After using Kylin's Right Arm, Mr. Hei could no longer deal with Jiang Feng. Every attack was easily neutralized by Jiang Feng.

"Fall down!" Jiang Feng exerted his strength, delivering a domineering punch.

This punch knocked Mr. Hei to the ground, making him spit blood.

Hao Daxiong was shocked. He thought Mr. Hei, his guardian, was invincible. How could this young man defeat him?

But Mr. Hei was indeed lying on the ground, looking miserable.

Zhu Bajie and Xiao Wanjun were even more stunned. If Mr. Hei couldn't defeat Jiang Feng, they would have no way out.

They had mocked Jiang Feng earlier, and Zhu Bajie admitted that Hao Daxiong and the others were hired by him.

What now?

Even a powerful expert couldn't defeat Jiang Feng. Seeking revenge in the future would be nearly impossible.

"Well done, Jiang Feng! Go, beat him to death," Cheng Zhenjie cheered, thrilled for Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng defeating Mr. Hei meant Cheng Zhenjie's earlier beating wasn't in vain.

Jiang Feng continued to swing his fist, wanting to make Mr. Hei completely submit.

But Mr. Hei shouted, "Wait, stop hitting me."

Jiang Feng paused, asking, "What, begging for mercy?"

"No, not begging. Let's make a deal," Mr. Hei said.

"A deal?" Jiang Feng was puzzled. "What kind of deal? Speak."

"A deal for your future. If you cooperate with me, we can create a new world," Mr. Hei said.

"Haha, are you joking? I need to make a deal with you for my future? Unless I'm a fool," Jiang Feng said.

"No, there are many benefits to dealing with me. For example, I won't trouble you in the future. If you don't cooperate, I won't let you go, and neither will the forces behind me," Mr. Hei threatened.

"Haha, the last thing I fear is threats. If that's the case, I'll just kill you. I won't leave a hidden danger behind," Jiang Feng laughed disdainfully.

"Hmph, you can't kill me. The dark power I possess is shadow mist. If I want to leave, no one can stop me," Mr. Hei said.

Jiang Feng didn't want him to escape, quickly trying to capture him.

But Mr. Hei's body turned into black smoke, spreading throughout the room and disappearing.

Mr. Hei had escaped, leaving the place.

Jiang Feng cursed inwardly. If Mr. Hei escaped, he would become a ticking time bomb, a constant threat.

"What a cunning and deceitful guy," Jiang Feng cursed.

If Mr. Hei hadn't interrupted him and diverted his attention, he wouldn't have escaped so easily.

But it didn't matter. Mr. Hei was gone, but Hao Daxiong and the others were still there.

Jiang Feng grabbed Hao Daxiong by the collar, asking, "Tell me, who is this Mr. Hei? Why is he with you? You'd better tell me everything you know, or I'll kill you."

Hao Daxiong was already terrified, not daring to hesitate. He quickly said, "I'll tell you everything. Please, have mercy."

"Then start talking," Jiang Feng said.

"This Mr. Hei's real name is Hei Chi. He's said to be from the Hei family. I met him half a year ago. I provide him with a newborn's placenta every month, and he helps me with small tasks. We aren't really close, barely communicating," Hao Daxiong revealed everything he knew.

"The Hei family," Jiang Feng said.

He had heard of the Hei family, one of the few martial artist families.

But Hei Chi had fallen into darkness, now likely part of the dark forces.

He probably stayed with Hao Daxiong to conveniently obtain newborn placentas for cultivation or other purposes.

Jiang Feng realized he wouldn't get more information from Hao Daxiong, so he asked, "What do you think we should do next?"

"Next?" Hao Daxiong hesitated, "What do you want me to do?"

"Do as you see fit," Jiang Feng said coldly, his expression murderous.

Hao Daxiong shivered, saying, "I understand."

"You guys, bring Zhu Bajie here," Hao Daxiong shouted.

Zhang San, Li Si, and the others immediately dragged Zhu Bajie out of the crowd, bringing him before Hao Daxiong.

Hao Daxiong bowed to Jiang Feng, saying, "Senior, he paid us to come here, saying he wanted to teach you a lesson. We were deceived by him. Please forgive us."

"We know that already. Do something else," Jiang Feng said, uninterested.

Indeed, Hao Daxiong and the others were hired by Zhu Bajie, an undeniable fact. Even Zhu Bajie admitted it. Bringing it up again was pointless.

"Should I handle it?" Hao Daxiong asked tentatively.

"I don't care. Do as you wish," Jiang Feng said indifferently, not giving a clear answer.

Hao Daxiong understood. Jiang Feng was waiting for him to prove his loyalty.

"I understand," Hao Daxiong nodded.

"Guys, cripple Zhu Bajie," Hao Daxiong ordered fiercely.
