Chapter 163 -126: Severing Delusion with a Single Strike_2

He certainly knew that this “Green-faced Ghost” was someone Yu Hu had hired to impersonate the original, with the purpose of sowing discord between the Green-faced Ghost and Qingyuan Fist Village, and also to make the whole affair seem more plausible.

By portraying the Green-faced Ghost as a member of the Calming Sect, it further explained why the Tiger Saber Gang would take the initiative to confront the Calming Sect.

Because the Green-faced Ghost had previously killed the Tiger Saber Gang’s Master, Zhang Mingze, the Tiger Saber Gang’s involvement was both a matter of justice and a quest for vengeance.

Moreover, an important point was that the Green-faced Ghost had originally been a member of the Qingyuan Fist Village, and when he killed Zhang Mingze, the Big Leader had even assisted the Green-faced Ghost in the act, with the two having cooperated in the past.

This was solid evidence, confirmed by many.

Thus, it further solidified the collusion between Qingyuan Fist Village and the Calming Sect!

Everything went towards a reasonable explanation.

Although today’s plan had several flaws, Zhao Yu had to admit that Yu Hu’s move of having someone impersonate the Green-faced Ghost was brilliantly executed.

Even if the real Green-faced Ghost were to appear at this point, it didn’t matter—they could simply kill him.

Only those who survived to the end were real, were able to step forward and tell the world the so-called ‘truth.’

“Li Lei, if you don’t want your son to die, immediately order your men to cease fire!” shouted the Green-faced Ghost in the direction of Li Lei.

For a moment, the offensive of the Inspection Bureau really did stop.

Then, the Green-faced Ghost jumped down from the rooftop and quickly ran towards Zhao Yu.

Seeing that it was one of their own, the horse bandits along the way did not obstruct him, and Zhao Yu did not choose to change position, allowing the Green-faced Ghost to approach.

At this point, Zhao Yu was surrounded by a dozen gun-wielding horse bandits and a Devilish Martial Master as a guard.

“Sect Hierarch, it’s our own man!” shouted the Green-faced Ghost as he drew closer.

“What are you doing here?” asked Zhao Yu, who, seeing the Inspection Bureau’s ceasefire, refocused most of his attention on Shangguan Xiao and did not deal with the Green-faced Ghost. It was the Devilish Martial Master beside him who took a step forward and asked.

“I’m handing over the hostage to you, so you can use it to threaten the Inspection Bureau. I need to hurry over there to help fight the Big Leader!” the Green-faced Ghost said in a deep voice.

By then, he had already approached the outer horse bandits, less than twenty meters away from Zhao Yu, who was securely protected.

Hearing this, the guard Devilish Martial Master thought it made sense, so he ordered the outer horse bandits to take the hostage from the Green-faced Ghost.

Two horse bandits stepped forward to take the hostage the Green-faced Ghost was holding.

The Green-faced Ghost handed over the hostage to the two men.

The next second.

Whoosh—

Almost simultaneously with the sound of the sword being drawn, a dark golden blade light flashed by.

The Green-faced Ghost pulled out his sword and charged towards where Zhao Yu was!

Several horse bandits blocking the Green-faced Ghost’s path didn’t even have time to react; they were bisected along with their rifles in hand!

Severed bodies, arms, and weapons flew up into the air, a flash of blood appeared, and viscera spilled out.

In the blink of an eye, the figure wearing the Evil Ghost Mask brought hell upon the earth!

The guarding Devilish Martial Master, startled, still stepped forward, unleashing his full force.

His body was enveloped in a layer of green energy.

This was the Green Gang Energy, fortified with Yimu Gang Qi, capable of both attack and defense.

But what first attacked him was not the blade light but an invisible shock wave.

The next second, the Devilish Martial Master was shocked to his core, the world before him darkened, and he was engulfed by an overwhelming Blood Sea rushing in from all directions!

He was quickly swallowed by the endless Blood Sea, his mind filled with intense suffocation and terror.

Before he could break free from the illusion, a dark golden blade light cut through his protective Green Gang Energy effortlessly, finally slicing through his neck.

The next second, the head of the Devilish Martial Master flew through the air!

The one who made the move was naturally Li Fei, whose sudden burst of action, from the start to the slaying of this Qi Change Middle Stage Devilish Martial Master, took no more than three seconds.

Part of it was due to the surprise attack, and part of it was due to the newly unlocked Blood Soul Skill, Blood Power.

The maximum potential of this Blood Soul Skill was to consume 10% of one’s total maximum Blood Soul. Presently, Li Fei’s total maximum Blood Soul was 161 beads, so the limit was 16.1 beads, and Li Fei had just consumed 10 beads in one go to use Blood Power.

This Devilish Martial Master had ascended from the Body Breaking Late Stage directly to the Qi Change Middle Stage by plundering others’ Implants through demonic methods to achieve a Breakthrough, which was certainly quick but the downside was an unstable foundation, and his Spiritual Power was far inferior to that of a martial master who achieved a normal Breakthrough. Thus, against Li Fei’s Blood Power, he had no way to defend himself.

After taking out Zhao Yu’s guard in a single move, Li Fei continued to charge towards Zhao Yu.

There are no longer any obstacles before him!

Although Zhao Yu was remotely controlling his Tao Foundation avatar to surround Shangguan Xiao, he still kept part of his spiritual power on his main body just in case. When Li Fei killed that Devilish Martial Master, Zhao Yu immediately reacted, pointed his finger at Li Fei, and bellowed:

“Freeze!”

A Mage at the Divine Transformation Stage could cast spells directly without the need for materials or rituals, and a Great Mage at the Possession Stage could cast even more swiftly.

In theory, a spell cast by a Great Mage at the Possession Stage could affect even those in the Tao Foundation Stage, let alone a martial master in the Qi Change Stage.

However, the spell had no effect on Li Fei whatsoever. He continued his motion, rushed in front of Zhao Yu, and swung his blade.

With a slash —

Zhao Yu’s head flew off, and just like that, a Great Mage comparable in power to someone at the Tao Foundation Stage died!

This single stroke severed all of Zhao Yu’s delusions about the future!

Li Fei caught Zhao Yu’s falling head, turned around, and looked at the surrounding bandits.

Only now did these bandits realize what was happening, surrounded by the stench of blood.

“A ghost—”

Someone screamed in horror and turned to run.

Hearing this, the others were scared out of their wits and scattered in all directions.

Li Fei’s legs powered up, and he easily leaped onto the roof of a nearby shop.

He held high the head of Zhao Yu and, using his force, amplified his voice:

“Zhao Yu has been killed by me!!!”

His voice carried far and wide, making sure everyone on this battlefield heard it.

Li Lei, who was some distance away, saw this and sighed in relief.

He immediately ordered:

“Continue the attack!”

Several magicians from the Calming Sect, upon seeing the head of Zhao Yu, utterly lost their morale.

Some crazily shouted and charged out from their cover, heading toward where Li Fei was, only to be shot dead by nearby Inspectors.

Others knelt on the ground and desperately kowtowed toward Li Fei’s position, tears streaming down their faces.

The reaction of these magicians also demoralized the remaining bandits. Seeing the forces of the Inspection Bureau charging at them, the bandits lost all will to resist and began to flee in defeat!

Elsewhere, on the battlefield of the four Tao Foundation Stage powerhouses.

At the moment Zhao Yu was killed, a fiercely fighting Tao Foundation avatar suddenly quivered, coming to an immediate halt.

Shangguan Xiao wouldn’t miss such an opportunity. She clapped her hands together, striking the avatar’s chest with the might of thunder and wind, caving it in and sending it flying backward.

Yu Hu and Yan Yichen quickly moved forward to press Shangguan Xiao and prevent her from pursuing her advantage.

While Yu Hu was wondering what trick Zhao Yu was playing, the voice of the Green-faced Ghost came.

“How is that possible?!”

Yu Hu sharply turned his head to see the Green-faced Ghost, high on a distant rooftop, holding Zhao Yu’s head, and couldn’t help but seethe with rage!

He had arranged for Li Fei’s kidnapping very secretly; how could the Green-faced Ghost have known anything about it in advance?

Moreover, his men had used the predetermined secret signal to send back the intel after they succeeded and had moved to a secure location. How did the Green-faced Ghost find them?

He had previously considered the possibility of the Green-faced Ghost interfering, but he hadn’t expected the other to flip the game board over once again!

What Li Fei severed with that stroke wasn’t just Zhao Yu’s delusions.

“Hahahaha!”

Shangguan Xiao burst into laughter, “Yu Hu, didn’t I tell you? Without Zhang Mingze, all your plots are just laughable, how about it?”

Yan Yichen, seeing this, also began to hesitate.

At that moment, the forces of the Inspection Bureau were advancing toward them; if the people of Zhi Ge Court clashed directly with the Inspection Bureau, it would be hard to justify afterward.

Moreover, with Zhao Yu dead, losing a Tao Foundation Stage fighter, killing Shangguan Xiao would become much more unpredictable.

“It’s not over yet!”

Just then, a voice suddenly resounded.

The voice did not come from Yu Hu but from the very same Tao Foundation avatar that had just ceased movement.

The Tao Foundation avatar regained its momentum and charged at Shangguan Xiao!
