Chapter 469: Gentlemen seek revenge without overnight delay! Mutation Shows Might (4K for monthly pass and recommendations)_2
Zhou Ye paused, “Three years ago, the deputy commander was assassinated.”
Brother Bi stroked his chin.
“And now, who’s run into trouble again?”
It wasn’t long before.
The two men found themselves in Qiu Hezi’s office, looking at each other.
“It’s fake, right?”
“Old Pei’s just missing, not confirmed dead, which means there’s still hope.”
“No survivors at the scene, Old Pei…,” Zhou Ye fell silent for a moment then looked up and asked, “Should we notify his parents… or not?”
Qiu Hezi sighed softly, “We definitely need to notify them, but let’s wait a bit so as not to alarm his parents. If they ask, just say he’s on a mission for now. It would be best if we could find him, so we can explain things to his family.”
When Brother Bi and Zhou Ye left the office, they glanced at each other.
It wasn’t long before.
The two drove away from the base.
“What do you think?”
“What use is what I think? The key is how the higher-ups see it.”
“Damn, they had to send Old Pei on a mission; have all their experts died out?” Zhou Ye appeared indignant.
Brother Bi also sighed.
The two went together to the hot pot restaurant owned by Pei Jinye’s family, to see if any reckless fools were looking to cause trouble.
…
…
At the city hall just then.
Upon hearing the news, Zhou Weiren was stunned, his fists clenched as if he were angry.
“Governor,” Secretary Lin called softly, afraid he might say something inappropriate at that moment.
Zhou Weiren sighed softly, “Everyone has their fate.” He paused, then signaled to Secretary Lin, “Take care of his parents for me.”
“Yes, Governor.”
Secretary Lin was about to leave when he suddenly heard another shocking piece of news.
“Savage Mountain City was invaded by a mysterious organization; Grandpa Cui’s mansion was unfortunately destroyed by military artillery fire, this…”
Not just Secretary Lin, even Zhou Weiren gasped in shock.
“Are they trying to turn the world upside down?”
…
When the news of the Cui Family Ancestral House destruction reached Dawn Tower, Han Sen’s entire body shook so hard that the pen in his hand flew off.
“What did you say?”
“The news has been confirmed; it was a mishandled operation by the Military Department,” Xing Tian replied.
“What’s the background of the invaders?” Han Sen asked gravely.
The destruction of the Cui Family Ancestral House was no small matter.
“The leader has facial similarities with the previous invaders; it is suspected to be a counterattack by the Holy Alliance,” Xing Tian said. “However, we haven’t fully taken over the signals in Savage Mountain City, so I cannot locate where these people are hiding right now.”
“Too arrogant!” Han Sen’s expression darkened.
At that moment, the landline phone rang.
Han Sen’s brow twitched, and after answering the call, he respectfully said, “Elder Cui… Yes, I have just been informed of this matter. Do you have any instructions… Yes, I will definitely investigate thoroughly.”
After hanging up.
Han Sen pressed the handset of the landline, and only then slowly withdrew his hand.
“Xing Tian, prepare to close the net,” he said.
“Yes, Sir Han Sen.”
…
…
…
On an uninhabited island on Savage Mountain City border.
“Whoosh!”
Amid the explosive sound of airflow, tremendous force tore through the space, and several massive stones fell like artillery shells all around.
“Who exactly are you?”
Cui Hai’s gaze was icy cold.
From Ghost Mountain Market, he had been Tracking all the way to Savage Mountain City, and by chance, he ran into this man evading the Federation’s pursuit. For some reason, he felt a sense of familiarity.
He suddenly thought of something.
“The one who played with us at Sun and Moon Mountain with a Light Column of inheritance, that was you, wasn’t it?”
He had found Pei Jinye’s movements somewhat familiar.
Upon careful consideration.
That was the very same person who had toyed with them last night.
Excitement surged within.
With no other contender eyeing the inheritance, all he needed was to kill the man before him and seize the inheritance!
Who would know that the inheritance had already fallen into his hands?
The more he thought about it, the hotter Cui Hai’s heart grew.
“Clang!”
Suddenly, a fierce flame erupted from his body, and the ground beneath his feet shook rapidly, vibrating with urgency.
Almost in the blink of an eye.
The air currents around Cui Hai began to spiral outward, turning into countless red blade slices cutting through the air with increasing speed.
The air seemed for a moment to fill with connected shadows of dark red light.
“I have been in hiding for many years and never truly exhausted my full strength against anyone, today you have the honor to die by my hand,”
“Clang!”
“You do love to talk.”
As the space began to surge with an overwhelming momentum, Pei Jinye’s sword was drawn half an inch from its scabbard.
Out of thin air, there seemed to be an extremely sharp sword intent condensing amidst the exploding sword light, instantly disregarding the distance between the two.
“Hiss!”
The red light screen was split in two.
In the span of a thousandth of a breath, Cui Hai’s gaze sharpened.
He admitted he had underestimated the other’s swordsmanship.
At this moment, from his brow to his throat, including his heart, there was a stinging sensation.
In an instant, every hair on his body trembled violently.
The killing intent became tangibly sharp, crossing the ten-odd meters distance as if solidifying the air in front of him, even giving him the illusion that it could be physically touched.
“This… Swordsmanship!”
At this moment, Cui Hai’s heart was filled with turmoil, sensing the cold murderous intent in front of him brewing in some terrifying way.
Cui Hai’s fingers flicked explosively.
He had no way out now.
Even if at this moment thousands of heavy sword lights materialized into real mountains pressing down upon him, he had no way out.
But to him, there was nothing worth retreating from.
He had immense confidence in himself.
“Buzz!”
In the midst of the tidal roar, he threw a punch that tore through the air.
At this moment, red flames of blood burst forth from Cui Hai’s body with that punch, carrying a huge flood with it.
In a fleeting glance,
Under the red light, the momentum seemed like a dragon ascending to the heavens.
In the blink of an eye, it sealed the space, bringing with it a domineering will capable of suppressing everything to face the slashing sword qi. With one punch after another, the fierce flames surged like the sea, filling the torn space once again and looming towards Pei Jinye.
Compared to the terror Cui Hai displayed, Pei Jinye’s sword strike, by contrast, appeared somewhat dull and ordinary.
But that very sword was merciless and sharp to the extreme.
The fierce flames that had just been connected instantly seemed to freeze, exploding brightly from the middle and easily slashing through the taut fabric.
The moment when the meteor-like edge of the sword became the brightest, the red torrents in the space reversed their flow, splitting into two massive curtains, which retreated and dissipated amidst the tremors.
Two ultimate forces touched in an instant.
Eerily, there was no sound, nor any vibration.
The explosion erupted in silence.
The space was split in an instant into two distinct parts.
Only then did the sound of rolling thunder incessantly fill the air.
At this moment,
It was as if thousands of rays of light radiated roaringly in all directions.
“Bang!”
The ground within tens of meters suddenly sank.
The massive shockwave rippled out in all directions like the waves on the water, causing a tidal surge in the surrounding area.
The two were instantly entangled in combat.
Cui Hai had thought that after blocking Pei Jinye’s sword strike, he could decide Pei Jinye’s life or death at close quarters.
However, the moment they engaged, he realized how terribly wrong he was!
Who knows what the man before him had done, but one of his hands suddenly became huge, with countless blood vessels surfacing, making it hard not to think of the Heavenly Demon.
“Crackling!”
As Cui Hai’s face turned drastically pale, a series of thunderous sounds abruptly connected over his body.
With a muffled groan, Cui Hai was blasted away cleanly.
Three seconds into the exchange, he was defeated!
“Damn it!”
Cui Hai’s teeth were stained with blood.
Even without mentioning the matter of inheritance,
Just in the present,
A grudge from a single punch, irreconcilable as heaven and earth!
In fact, even he had not expected to be defeated so utterly!
But before he could even stand up, Pei Jinye’s second sword had already arrived.
He had no idea!
At that instant,
Pei Jinye launched his sword strike with a [Mutation].
…
The terrifying sword qi tore through the void, and surges of karmic fire spread in every direction.
Under the deafening sound that followed,
Cui Hai instinctively looked up.
Above him was a face that seemed to cover the sky, its expression intensely fierce, looking down at him like a clown who had tried to challenge authority.
“Boom!”
The sword descended!
The ground fissured!
