Chapter 803: Attacked Again
Chapter 803: Attacked Again
After hearing Lin Xue’s description, Ling Feng nodded, "Don’t mention it, he really does resemble me a bit!"
After finishing, he immediately asked, "So, what is Wang Zhanwei’s ability?"
"It’s still unclear. The Security Agency has been monitoring him, but since he never engages in illegal activities, there hasn’t been an in-depth investigation," Lin Xue replied.
"Okay then."
Ling Feng nodded, feeling the topic had drifted too far off, and quickly returned to the previous subject, "So, the fourth place must be me, right?"
"Sorry, you’re not fourth either!" Lin Xue said with a laugh.
Ling Feng: "..."
He was too lazy to ask one by one, so he looked at Lin Xue, "Just tell me what rank I am now!"
Lin Xue smiled, "Eleventh!"
"Uh..."
Ling Feng was utterly speechless and asked with a look of confusion, "Is there something wrong with this ranking algorithm? My strength, only eleven?"
Lin Xue chuckled, "It’s not hard to understand. Where is your realm? You’ve never been able to elevate it, and Zhou Yi’s realm is indeed higher than yours!"
Seeing that Ling Feng’s face had darkened like the bottom of a pot, she quickly added, "But don’t feel bad. Although you are only eleventh, internally at the Security Agency, everyone acknowledges that your overall strength is truly the best!"
"Oh, that’s somewhat comforting," Ling Feng nodded.
Lin Xue looked at him speechlessly, thinking to herself, why is this guy’s desire to win so strong? Just being number one makes him happy?
After addressing his rank, Ling Feng remembered the important matter, "Right, what is the relation between the rankings of each country and the international ranking?"
"As far as I can see, it’s just that some people have obtained data on various countries through unknown channels, and then compiled what they had to create this leaderboard!" Lin Xue explained.
Ling Feng was stunned, "Doesn’t that count as a leak of confidential information?"
"It should be. But don’t worry, Huaxia’s data has not been leaked, so there’s only one person on that list who can be considered from Huaxia," Lin Xue said.
"Is it Kong Sheng?" Ling Feng asked.
Lin Xue nodded, "Yes, it’s him. He’s currently ranked eighty-fifth, and his nationality is listed as American."
Ling Feng acknowledged with an "Oh" and nodded, "Understood. I think if Huaxia’s data were updated, Zhou Yi would definitely be in the top three!"
Lin Xue glanced at him, "That’s uncertain. The director has prepared a dossier. If you want to see it, you can get it from the agency later."
"There’s nothing pressing anyway, might as well head there now!"
Ling Feng stood up as he spoke.
"Then I’ll head back first,"
Li Fei’er said, teleporting away to the Nine Heavens with Wang Cai and the others.
Seeing that Ling Feng and Lin Xue were about to leave, Sun Hao, holding a half-eaten roast rabbit, stood up, "What about me?"
"You go home and eat. I’ll find you later!"
Ling Feng said briefly, hurriedly taking Lin Xue and leaving.
After boarding the vehicle, passing through the muddy construction site of Shiliu Village, the sturdy vehicle began to race along the highway.
At this moment, Lin Xue asked, "Why are you so anxious about the rankings?"
"I’m not interested in it. Even if I become number one on the world leaderboard, not many people would know me. What I want to understand is this Holy Light Society, what kind of organization it is!" Ling Feng said as he drove.
"This organization is quite mysterious. We don’t have much information on it. We should have kept those two guys earlier. We might have been able to learn something from them!" Lin Xue remarked.
Ling Feng was feeling a bit regretful now, but talking about it was pointless.
The car sped down the highway, quickly covering half the distance, with a stretch of mountain road ahead, uninhabited and flanked only by a few tall mountains.
Ling Feng, who had been driving with intense focus, suddenly felt something stir in his heart and became acutely aware of a hint of danger!
Before he had time to react, a small hole appeared in the windshield!
In the blink of an eye, it was too late to respond. By the time Ling Feng braked to a stop, he saw that Lin Xue’s expression had changed!
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Ling Feng asked in confusion.
"You, you’ve been hit!"
After uttering those words, Lin Xue’s face tensed up, and then she grabbed his hand and instantly teleported them to the Nine Heavens!
Almost simultaneously, several more holes appeared in the windshield of the car. The bullets missed Ling Feng, all of them embedding in the backrest of the seat!
At this moment, the two people hiding on the hillside were stunned!
The one responsible for shooting turned to his spotter beside him: "What happened?"
"Not sure, those two just vanished into thin air!"
The spotter was flabbergasted, his eyes never leaving the scope, fixated on the direction of the car without even blinking!
Despite that, he still hadn’t seen where Ling Feng and Lin Xue had gone, or how they suddenly disappeared!
After a moment of shock, he turned to the sniper and said, "We’ve been exposed, evacuate immediately!"
Without another word, the two scrambled up and dashed down the other side of the slope!
While they were retreating, Ling Feng had already arrived in the Second Layer Heaven.
A round wound was on his chest, a small amount of blood seeping out, but it was no longer bleeding.
He knew he had been shot. Although it hurt a bit, he wasn’t anxious at all.
Instead, it was Lin Xue and Li Shiyun who were terrified, looking at the wound on his chest and becoming frantic, not knowing what to do.
Ling Yao was somewhat more composed. After carefully examining the wound, she looked up at Ling Feng: "How do you feel?"
"Aside from a bit of pain, I don’t feel anything else," Ling Feng replied.
"The bullet didn’t hit your heart; otherwise, you definitely wouldn’t be so relaxed!" Zhou Yi said gravely.
Ling Feng managed a weak smile: "Even if it had hit, I wouldn’t worry. Have you forgotten I’m immortal?"
"You’re wrong, you haven’t reached that realm yet. If a vital part is hit, you could still die!"
Zhou Yi shook his head and then, out of curiosity, asked: "That doesn’t make sense, you’ve cultivated the Dragon Soar Technique, how could a bullet injure you?"
"How should I know?" Ling Feng thought, then said, "Anyway, that’s not the issue right now. Let’s figure out how to get the bullet out, shall we? Otherwise, my wound is going to heal!"
"Alright!"
Zhou Yi nodded, took tweezers out from her storage space, and said to Ling Feng: "We’re not going to anesthetize you, just bear with it."
"Just...ah!"
Before Ling Feng could finish his sentence, the tweezers had already probed into the wound and stirred!
The sharp pain made him cry out, but at the same time, Zhou Yi extracted the bullet.
After a glance, her eyes turned fierce: "They really went to great lengths to kill you!"
"What happened?"
Ling Feng asked through the pain.
"This is a large-caliber armor-piercing bullet. You’re lucky you weren’t shredded to pieces—it’s the great merit of the Dragon Soar Technique!" Zhou Yi said solemnly.
