Chapter 547 - 544: You Still Lack a Bit of Cultivation
The man wrapped in black appeared, and the temperature in the hall immediately dropped several degrees.
There was an aura about the man that gave off a strong sense of oppression.
"Shadow, I called for you because I have a favor to ask of you," Dong Feitian spoke very politely, even using the word "please."
"What is it?" the man asked indifferently.
"Help me kill a few people."
"How many?"
"Three... oh, no, four."
"How many exactly?"
"Four."
"Who are they?"
"One is a Chiliarch, the other three are my former subordinates."
"I lost a bet to you years ago and promised to do three things for you. One hundred and fifty years ago, I took care of a rival for you, and then you smoothly became the city lord. Fifty years ago, someone tried to assassinate you and almost succeeded. It was I who saved you at the critical moment. Now you're asking me to kill four people for you. After this task is done, we're even, and you should never contact me again," the man said with a cold tone.
Dong Feitian nodded, "Rest assured, after this matter is completed, I definitely won't contact you again."
"Wait for my news," the man shook his body slightly and then gradually vanished, as though he had never appeared.
Dong Feitian squinted his eyes and murmured to himself: His Invisibility Technique is getting more and more sophisticated. Even I can hardly detect his presence. With him on the job, success is certain. Shadow was his ultimate killer move. If it wasn't urgent, he would never resort to using Shadow.
...
Thousands of miles away.
Inside a military camp.
Gao Fei sat cross-legged on the bed, his hands extended flatly on his knees, with two pieces of amethyst in his palms. With his eyes tightly closed, he breathed in and out, a white mist slowly appearing above Gao Fei's head.
After a long while...
Gao Fei exhaled a stuffy breath and then opened his eyes, a flash of light flickering in their depths.
"I've finally broken through the bottleneck," Gao Fei said with a smile on his face, "The Third Layer of the Nascent Soul Stage, it really wasn't easy." He had been attempting to break through to the Third Layer of the Nascent Soul Stage for some time now and had spent many days before succeeding. Gao Fei looked down at the amethyst in his hand, "Though I've said this many times and even I find it a bit repetitive, I still want to say it again: cultivating with amethyst is just fast! It's way faster than cultivating with spirit stones."
"Come on, continue cultivating! Keep on advancing! Keep on levelling up!"
"Only with formidable power can others dare not provoke you!"
"I must become a powerhouse!"
After calming his emotions, Gao Fei closed his eyes and continued his cultivation.
The military camp was well-managed by Chen San and Liu Qing; there was no need for him to worry, allowing him to concentrate fully on his cultivation. Indeed, having a few loyal and dependable subordinates was a truly blissful thing.
People are like this: if you treat them sincerely, they will treat you sincerely. A heart for a heart. Gao Fei treated Chen San and Liu Qing well, and in turn, they were extremely loyal to Gao Fei.
"Hmm?"
Gao Fei suddenly opened his eyes and flipped his wrist, a hammer appearing in his palm. Just a moment ago, he had felt a sense of crisis, as if danger was approaching... This feeling was peculiar and indescribable with words.
"Who's there!"
Gao Fei let out a sharp: "If you've already come, why not show yourself? What kind of person skulks about in hiding!"
"Pop!"
A ripple suddenly appeared in the air on the opposite side, and a man completely wrapped in black cloth stepped out from within. He moved slowly, and with each step, the air trembled. Once the man emerged, he silently watched Gao Fei.
Gao Fei slowly stood up, placing the hammer across his chest, staring at the man opposite him: "Who are you?"
"How did you find me?" the man asked, his voice somewhat hoarse.
"You think you're well-hidden, but in front of me, it's child's play. I can easily find you."
"Impossible! My Invisibility Technique has been cultivated to a very high realm. Even a Transcendance Tribulation Stage Great Cultivator would find it difficult to detect me. You are merely at the Nascent Soul Stage, how could you find me? Tell me, how!"
"Want to know? Kneel down and knock your head on the ground twice, calling me Grandpa. Then, I'll tell you."
"Courting death!" The man charged forward, reaching his hand towards Gao Fei's neck.
Gao Fei bellowed in rage and swung the hammer at the man. The hammer tore through the air with a dull boom, like thunder. The strike, filled with all of Gao Fei's strength, could shatter a mountain in an instant.
"Hmph!" The man snorted coldly: "A mere glimmer dares to compete with the bright moon, truly overestimating oneself."
"Smack!"
The hammer that Gao Fei had swung was caught with one hand by the man. This was the disparity in strength; Gao Fei was at the Third Layer of the Nascent Soul Stage, while the man was at the Tenth Level of the Unity of Heaven and Man, just a step away from entering the Tribulation Crossing Stage. The gap between them was too vast; even with the first four transformations of the Heavenly Demon, Gao Fei was powerless.
"Buzz!"
The man pushed forward and then released his grip. Gao Fei was sent flying backward instantly.
"Speak the truth! I'll let you die quickly!" The man pursued swiftly, determined to understand today how Gao Fei had spotted him.
Gao Fei swallowed a mouthful of blood, and with a hoarse voice, he called out: "Immortal Master Huang, you've been watching the excitement from the side all this time. Come out and beat him up now."
"Here I am."
A figure dropped from above the rooftop and kicked the man, sending him flying away.
"Immortal Master Huang! You old geezer, you can't do this anymore." Seeing Immortal Master Huang intervene, Gao Fei let out the breath he was holding.
"I was waiting for your command. Without your word, I wouldn't dare make a move," Immortal Master Huang said aggrievedly.
"You...from now on, don't wait for my command. As soon as you see me in danger, jump in and save me," Gao Fei said irritably.
"Alrighty," Immortal Master Huang nodded. "I got it."
"Bang!"
The man crashed through a wall and fell to the ground, his throat sweet with blood. He spat out a mouthful and, with astonishment all over his face, watched Immortal Master Huang. His heart raced; a Transcendance Tribulation Stage expert! Indeed, the man before him was a Transcendance Tribulation Stage expert. How could this be? Why would a mere Chiliarch have a Transcendance Tribulation Stage expert for protection? It made no sense!
Immortal Master Huang took two steps forward, looking down at the man, "Don't play dead. Get up and fight me. If you win, you can leave. If you lose, hehe... then you'll stay."
Snaggletooth grimaced as he stood up, looking at Immortal Master Huang: "You're of a higher Cultivation than I am, I'm certainly not your match, but..." he said, his tone becoming stern: "I'd rather die than surrender to you!"
"Oh? Got some backbone!" Immortal Master Huang smacked his lips. "Enough chatter, just make your move already."
"Wait a moment," the man exhaled slowly. "I've recently learned a killer move. It's very powerful, though it takes a bit longer to execute. Do you have the guts to wait and let me use it on you?"
"Why not?" Immortal Master Huang said nonchalantly. "Whatever killer move you've got, bring it on. I want to see how powerful you really are." Then, Immortal Master Huang added, "Your Invisibility Technique is indeed decent, but alas, you have not cultivated it to the Great Achievement Realm. You might deceive ordinary people, but deceiving me? You're still lacking."
