Chapter 272: Chapter 38: Deadly Game
Chapter 272 -38: Deadly Game
“Because he provoked me.”
Li Fei’s words, like a harsh stone, simply fell into the room.
Because the “Beast King” had provoked him, now was the best time to strike at the “Beast King”!
These words were very firm.
“Master Qing, what a bold spirit!”
Feng Sanniang did not mock Li Fei’s arrogance, but instead praised him sincerely.
“I know talking is cheap, and making overblown claims is meaningless, so the cooperation I’m here to discuss is simple—you don’t need to do anything now, just act at the right time.”
Li Fei said calmly.
When is the right time?
Li Fei didn’t say, and Feng Sanniang didn’t ask, because when the time truly came, everyone would have their own judgment.
“Is that it?”
Feng Sanniang asked.
If it were just this, Li Fei wouldn’t need to make this trip.
If he could really create the right opportunity, he wouldn’t need to say much, as the other major powers would take action too.
“Since it’s a cooperation, I need Sanniang to show some chips first.”
“What sort of chips?”
“Help me connect with the sellers of Exotic Beast Food outside Datong Prefecture.”
Li Fei stated his demand.
“Heh.”
Feng Sanniang laughed.
She had guessed from the beginning that Li Fei was here for this, and had already thought about what price Li Fei would have to pay to get her help.
However, Li Fei had first brought up dealing with Yu Longqing, went around in a circle, and then mentioned this request, which kind of felt like getting something for nothing.
Yet, Feng Sanniang was somewhat persuaded by him.
She realized she had underestimated this Green-faced Ghost.
The information she had collected described him as someone who hated evil and liked to solve problems through violence.
But now it seemed, he was not that simple.
“If I don’t facilitate this connection, would you not consider dealing with Yu Longqing?”
Feng Sanniang asked.
“Before I came, did you think I would move against Yu Longqing?”
Li Fei counterasked.
In fact, giving in was the most logical choice, so he was telling Feng Sanniang that if she didn’t help, he might not act against Yu Longqing, and Feng Sanniang would miss a chance to regain control of her lifeblood.
“Interesting.”
Feng Sanniang smiled.
Then the figure behind the screen stood up and slowly walked out from behind it.
A woman in a red long dress, with long hair over her shoulders and slightly exposed fragrant shoulders, came into Li Fei’s view.
She was indeed stunning, but not to the exaggerated extent of causing the downfall of a city.
What truly fascinated people was the charm exuded by Feng Sanniang.
Each gesture, dripping with allure, natural and unforced, made it easy for anyone to immerse themselves in it.
Li Fei deliberately looked at the Myriad Blood Pearl inside his body and found that the Blood Soul was indeed decreasing, though very slightly.
This indicated that Feng Sanniang did have extraordinary abilities on the spiritual level, but they were not of the direct damage type.
“Master Qing.”
Feng Sanniang gracefully walked towards Li Fei and finally sat down on a wooden chair beside him, separated by a wooden table.
A faint fragrance entered his nose, refreshing to the heart and spleen.
“In fact, choosing to deal with Yu Longqing, aside from the Exotic Beast Food, there’s a large part of the reason that involves the Zhang Family, right?”
Feng Sanniang looked into Li Fei’s eyes and suddenly said,
“At this time, only by throwing out a more tempting bone can you divert the attention of those greedy wolves who plan to keep eating the meat. Moreover, if the ‘Beast King’ falls, the Zhang Family will have a chance to obtain new chips and thereby a chance to protect themselves in the future. So even if I don’t pay this chip, you wouldn’t give up dealing with Yu Longqing.”
Impressive!
Li Fei inwardly remarked, noting that this ‘Queen,’ skilled in attracting people’s hearts after so many years, really had her strategy down.
She had indeed guessed his mind, but still, he kept his calm and held her gaze:
“Shangguan Xiao is just my ally, the Zhang Family can be a reason for my actions, but I won’t take too great a risk for the Zhang Family.”
“Is that so?”
Feng Sanniang stared at Li Fei as if trying to see right through him.
After a moment, she revealed a charming smile:
“Alright, Master Qing, I will give you the chips you asked for, not for anything else, but because of you, as a person.”
She agreed!
Agreed to let Li Fei use the method of gaining something for nothing to connect with the Exotic Beast Food sellers outside Datong Prefecture.
After speaking, she gave Li Fei an affectionate look.
Coupled with her innate charm and the subtly deployed extraordinary abilities, even a man of strong will could hardly resist being moved.
Luckily, Li Fei had the Myriad Blood Pearl.
“Good, it’s a pleasure to cooperate.”
“It’s a pleasure to cooperate.”
“…”
Moments later, Li Fei stood up and left the room.
A while later, a glamorous woman approached Feng Sanniang and whispered:
“Sanniang, we just received news that people from all families have rushed to Fenghua Street, and it seems they plan to deal with the Green-faced Ghost!”
“I know.”
Feng Sanniang did not seem surprised and spoke indifferently.
The subordinate asked puzzledly: “But didn’t you agree to cooperate with him?”
Feng Sanniang smiled and said: “Not just anybody is qualified to discuss cooperation with me.”
The subordinate understood.
The Green-faced Ghost needed to prove his strength first!
“Perhaps this is also what he wanted.”
Feng Sanniang looked toward the door, murmuring.
…
On a street adjacent to Fenghua Street, merely separated by one street, over there the lights glowed brightly, resounding with songs and dance, while this side was dimly lit, the street had no open shop fronts, and not a single pedestrian could be seen.
Just a few minutes earlier, this street had been bustling, but when a group of people wielding swords and guns arrived, the pedestrians quickly dispersed and the shops swiftly closed their doors.
In places like Fenghua Street, issues of romantic jealousy are inevitable and constantly arising.
But even the most wasteful sons or the biggest personalities had never truly fought here before, for this place was the ‘Queen’ Feng Sanniang’s territory.
She had the strength, as well as enough face.
So when the pedestrians and merchants on the street saw these people holding knives and guns, they immediately knew something big might happen tonight!
“San Niang, the ‘Poison King’s’ seven dark guards have arrived.”
“‘Gun King’s’ top marksmen have come, more than a dozen of them.”
“‘Gambling King’ has sent Lou Yujun.”
In the room, subordinates kept coming in to report the outside situation to Feng Sanniang.
The ‘Poison King’s’ seven dark guards are seven refining strength martial masters.
And these seven people work together seamlessly, trained in a specialized combat formation for joint attacks, which is powerful enough to rival someone at the Tao Foundation Stage!
‘Gun King’s’ top marksmen are a group of martial artists who specialize in guns.
In terms of attack power, even the firepower of a handgun is stronger than some martial masters’ strongest techniques, so some martial artists in the world give up refining martial arts and focus solely on marksmanship.
The implants they choose mainly enhance their reaction time and sensory abilities, enabling them to maximize the effectiveness of firearms.
The ‘Gun King’s’ top marksmen are such martial artists; each of them a sharpshooter. As long as they have enough distance, each has the potential to kill a martial master or even a refining strength martial master!
A dozen top marksmen, if sniping from the outskirts, are still very threatening.
And the ‘Gambling King’ has only sent Lou Yujun.
This chapter is updat𝙚d by freeweɓnovel.cøm.
This is a powerful Tao Foundation Stage fighter!
So sending just one person is enough.
Out of the “Seven Kings’ seven forces” of Datong Prefecture, aside from the sealed Iron Blade Sect, three have already arrived.
‘Queen’ Feng Sanniang herself won’t send anyone to deal with Green-faced Ghost, so two major forces remain.
“What about the ‘Beast King’s’ people?”
Feng Sanniang asked.
The ‘Beast King’ had previous grievances with Green-faced Ghost and had even swallowed up the latter’s goods; it was impossible for him not to send someone this time.
It was even very likely that the killing tonight was organized by ‘Beast King’ Yu Longqing.
Soon, a subordinate hurried over and provided an answer:
“San Niang, Zhang Shan has come!”
Zhang Shan, the ‘Beast King’s’ strongest combatant, had mastered the high-rank Dark Flame Fierce Dragon Force.
Initially, he went alone to Xing City, got captured, and was later returned as a term of a negotiation.
Now Yu Longqing had sent him out again.
Feng Sanniang nodded, “So that’s two Tao Foundation Stage, seven refining strength martial masters, and over a dozen top marksmen, and possibly assassins lurking in secret.”
The ‘Seven Kings’ of Datong Prefecture’s underworld are:
The ‘Sword King’, who controls the Iron Blade Sect and the Martial Arts Association.
The ‘Queen’ who manages the pleasure districts.
The ‘Gambling King’, who oversees all casinos.
The ‘Poison King’, who oversees opium business.
The ‘Gun King’, who manages arms smuggling.
The ‘Beast King’, who has a monopoly on Exotic Beast Food.
And the last is the ‘Shadow King’, who controls the strongest group of assassins in Datong Prefecture and even the entire Feng Province!
The ‘Shadow King’ is the most mysterious of the ‘Seven Kings’, with no one knowing his real name or face. Though mainly dealing in assassins, he also dabbles in other industries, so he is also involved in the power struggle over the Zhang Family’s assets this time.
The killing tonight, ‘Shadow King’ might send assassins, just that none have shown up or been discovered yet.
This is very fitting for an assassin.
“What about the people from Qingyuan City Management Company?”
Feng Sanniang asked.
She knew Green-faced Ghost had secretly arranged his men in the city days ago and had them under surveillance.
“All the people we’ve been watching haven’t made a move.”
A subordinate reported.
“What about Shangguan Xiao?”
Feng Sanniang asked again.
“He’s been in the guest house and hasn’t come out.”
“And the Zhang Family’s people?”
“Also no movement.”
“Hmm?”
Feng Sanniang frowned, puzzled:
“Could he have forces I am unaware of?”
Green-faced Ghost showing up tonight to meet her meant he was prepared to be encircled and possibly killed; otherwise, that would be foolish.
A fool wouldn’t be qualified to cooperate with her, and from their previous conversation, she didn’t believe Green-faced Ghost was a fool.
With that thought, she suddenly stood up and walked out of the room.
Soon, she reached the rooftop terrace of the dance hall and looked down at the street below.
She spotted Green-faced Ghost in the crowd, step by step he headed toward the exit of Fenghua Street.
And outside Fenghua Street, figures were rapidly converging towards the direction Green-faced Ghost was heading.
“San Niang, no one has been found to rendezvous with Green-faced Ghost yet.”
A subordinate came and reported.
“What are you really relying on?”
Feng Sanniang watched the back of Green-faced Ghost, her eyes filled with suspicion.
…
On the street, Li Fei held an unsheathed Ghost Slash Blade and walked forward step by step.
Since he had revealed his blade, the surrounding crowd all moved away.
This allowed him to walk smoothly from the head of the street to its end.
Just ten meters ahead lay another street. The lighting was dim, filled with murderous intent!
A street apart felt like two different worlds.
Li Fei had known such a situation would occur before he arrived.
He had just, in the guise of Li Fei, fought a battle that forcibly prolonged the life of the Zhang Family earlier that day.
Under these circumstances, with Green-faced Ghost suddenly showing up to meet the ‘Queen,’ regardless of the outcome of their negotiation, the remaining major forces would surely choose to act.
Would they wait for the situation to be turned around step by step?
Blocking someone’s wealth is akin to murdering their parents; it’s a major grievance. Green-faced Ghost was now blocking the wealth paths of several major forces, and what awaited him was the killing tonight!
Feng Sanniang was very curious about what exactly Li Fei was relying on.
She would see the answer very soon.
Li Fei looked at the long street ahead. Under his mask, a smile appeared on his face.
Tap, tap, tap.
The surrounding lights began to dim, and the bustling crowd was moving away.
Green-faced Ghost stepped into the darkness.
