"Make a move on the Dark Night Church?"

Inside a spacious and bright coffee shop with a pleasant atmosphere, a dapper Liu Yang stared blankly at his phone. Listening to Shu Feng’s voice, his gaze drifted to the tall, beautiful, brown-haired girl in front of him, and he wanted to weep. "Shu Feng, can’t you just stop stirring up trouble?"

Liu Yang had moved heaven and earth to finally start dating Amari, the beautiful belle of her class at the Leiyin Republic Royal Academy. But now, because of a single sentence from Shu Feng, he had to flee the Leiyin Republic. Naturally, his heart was filled with resentment.

Amari smiled. "Liu Yang, where are we going next?"

Liu Yang smiled wryly. "I’m sorry, Amari. Something’s come up today. I have to go."

Amari’s expression darkened. She stirred the coffee in front of her, her face impassive. "If you have something to do, Liu Yang, then go," she said coldly. "But if you walk out now, don’t ever ask me out again."

"I’m sorry!"

Heartbroken, Liu Yang immediately stood up and strode outside.

"You goddamn bastard, leaving me with the bill!! I’d better not ever see you again!!"

Not long after Liu Yang left, Amari’s furious shout echoed from inside the coffee shop.

Shu Feng made a series of calls, telling Liu Yang, Zhong Ming, and Qi Ning to scatter and flee.

However, he couldn’t get through to Cao Zhen, and his whereabouts were unknown.

Shu Feng asked, "Aren’t you leaving, Zhao Zixing? I’m about to take the fight to the Dark Night Church."

"I’m the second-ranked new student at Shuijing High School. Anything you can do, I can do, too!"

A glint of pride flashed in Zhao Zixing’s beautiful eyes. Her Spiritual Qi churned, and a wave of Spiritual Power at the Spirit Master Peak, infinitely close to the Great Spirit Master Level, slowly radiated from her.

By the time students from Shuijing High School’s Celestial Pride Class graduate, most are still at the Spirit Warrior Level. Only about one-tenth of them, the geniuses among geniuses, are able to advance to become Spirit Masters.

Zhao Zixing was only one step away from becoming a Great Spirit Master. Her Talent for cultivation was nothing short of terrifying, and her combat prowess was already comparable to that of a Great Spirit Master.

"Give her to me. I’ll protect her!"

Zhao Zixing looked at Hassina, cradled in Shu Feng’s arms, and suddenly felt a flash of irritation, her voice cold.

"Alright, I’ll leave her to you."

Shu Feng reluctantly handed Hassina over to Zhao Zixing.

’Hassina was beautiful and adorable, soft and supple, and she even had a sweet fragrance. Holding her was incredibly comfortable. If Zhao Zixing hadn’t said anything, he would have just played dumb and kept holding her.’

"Sleep!"

Shu Feng snapped his fingers. Wisps of the Phantom Badge’s Power spread through the room. Under its influence, Salin, his friends, and Manali—who had only been pretending to be unconscious—all fell into a deep sleep.

A bone-chilling killing intent flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes. "Let’s go! Since the Dark Night Church won’t let me live, I won’t let them live either!"

A hidden lookout from the Blue Sea Club stood quietly behind a decorative rock formation.

A Residual Shadow flickered, and a Ghost-devouring Demon appeared silently behind the lookout. With a casual twist—CRACK!—it snapped the man’s neck.

One after another, Spirit Warrior-level Black Dog Void Demons leaped down from the walls, pouncing on the bodyguards of the Blue Sea Club.

Before the Blue Sea Club’s bodyguards could even react, the Black Dog Void Demons were on them, killing them one by one by tearing out their throats.

Strolling behind the terrifying Void Demon Corps was Shu Feng, flanked by Zhao Zixing, who was carrying Hassina.

A look of pity flashed in Hassina’s beautiful eyes as she asked, "Shu Feng, those bodyguards are ordinary people. Why did you have to kill them?"

"Those bodyguards are armed. They have the potential to pose a threat to me. And since they’re Ah Fei Fei’s men, they had to die. Hassina, this is war! In a war, the only way to win is to eradicate all opposing forces—to pull them out by the roots."

"One on one, those bodyguards are no threat to me at all," Shu Feng said slowly, his eyes cold. "But in a critical moment, they could be the deciding factor, the straw that breaks the camel’s back. That’s why they had to die, too."

"Help!!"

"No! Don’t kill me!"

"..."

Bloodcurdling screams echoed from within the Blue Sea Club. More than a dozen dignitaries from the Leiyin Republic who were spending the night there, along with waiters and beautiful women, fled the club in a panic.

"Who dares cause trouble at my Blue Sea Club?"

A burly, brown-haired, blue-eyed expert with a full beard appeared with a ferocious roar, brandishing a silver-gray Tier Three Spiritual Spear: the [Gray Battle Python].

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Streaks of gray light flashed, and the bearded expert instantly blasted three Spirit Master-level Ghost-devouring Demons to pieces.

Shu Feng pointed at the bearded man and said nonchalantly, "That’s Killing Python Bika, a Great Spirit Master who once sadistically slaughtered thousands. He likes to eat children’s hearts raw. He’s one of the experts your Dark Night Church recruited—Prime Minister Ah Fei Fei’s top enforcer."

Hassina’s face was a mask of disbelief. "Impossible! How could such a wicked person be one of us in the Dark Night Church?! Impossible!!"

Hassina had heard of Killing Python Bika’s reputation. He was the most notorious mass murderer in the Leiyin Republic; the number of children who had died at his hands was in the thousands.

When Killing Python Bika was first exposed, he slaughtered hundreds of police officers who came to hunt him down. He supposedly met a brutal end at the hands of the Leiyin Republic’s Extraordinary experts.

Now, seeing the supposedly dead Killing Python Bika appear right before her eyes, Hassina felt as if something inside her was slowly crumbling.

Ten Spirit Masters and thirty Spirit Warriors charged out from behind Killing Python Bika. They joined the battle, clashing ferociously with the Void Demons.

The moment Killing Python Bika spotted Shu Feng in the distance, his eyes flashed with savage light and a hideous grin spread across his face. "Shu Feng, so it’s you! You’ve got some nerve, barging into our Dark Night Church headquarters. You’re dead! After I take your head and sacrifice it to my Lord, He will surely grant me immense Power!!"

BOOM!!

With a terrifyingly loud bang, the wall beside Killing Python Bika shattered, sending countless fragments flying in every direction.

From amidst the rain of terrifying debris, the Steel Beast lunged. It swiped its claw, tearing through Killing Python Bika’s protective Spiritual Membrane. Then, with a savage tug, it ripped his head and spine clean from his body and casually tossed them aside.
