Enlightenment: Beginning as a Disposable Warrior-Chapter 125 - 110: Purple Lightning and Azure Frost, Invented Fist Technique! (5K - )

On the periphery, Liu Qing and several Qingfeng Gang muscle-transferring masters, who were brimming with determination to surround and kill Su Mu, felt a chill in their hearts. Their once resolute intent to kill began to crack and crumble.

Watching Li Feiyu, who was demonstrating Vajra Possession and simultaneously utilizing three distinct martial arts to confront them, their confidence in encircling and killing Li Feiyu wavered.

The disparity in power levels seemed insurmountable.

How could a few lean wolves pose a threat to a tiger king entrenched in the mountains?

At this moment, Lu Heng's arms were stark white, hanging limply, his face a grimace of agony as he let out low growls. The elder coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, his expression heavy. His gaze swept over the irreparable Three-foot Cyan Blade in his hand, unable to conceal his heartbreak.

As for the beautiful woman in red, her right arm was dripping blood and hanging down, while her left hand clutched her chest with heavy breaths, unable to hide the shock and fear in her eyes.

Su Mu, after withstanding the combined lethal attack of the three, stretched his muscles and bones. If not for the special metal mixed in the elder's weapon that broke his Vigorous Golden Bell, the other two muscle-transferring elders from the Qingfeng Gang wouldn't have had a chance to even touch Su Mu.

As Su Mu's gaze came over, all three, along with Liu Qing who had not yet made a move, felt a jolt in their hearts. Their faces changed drastically as they hurriedly retreated backward.

...

The story diverges like two flowers, each expressing a separate stem, shifting slightly back in time.

Under the pitch-black night, Li Zhihe, dressed in a pale green official robe with a tiger head pattern embroidered in golden thread, led twenty elite soldiers of the Cyan Cloud Army quietly to Changxing Square.

Li Zhihe fixed his gaze across the street on Tongfu Restaurant, guarded by Qingfeng Gang disciples.

As Su Mu had anticipated, Shopkeeper Zhang Ping of the Black Heart Pharmacy was indeed an operative of the Demon Slayer Bureau. The day Su Mu left, Zhang Ping, under the guise of delivering medicine to a customer, quietly reported to Li Zhihe.

"Li Feiyu has always been swift and decisive. If he claims to gather the materials by noon tomorrow... it most likely hints that the Qingfeng Gang will act tomorrow."

Based on Li Zhihe's understanding of Su Mu, he immediately deduced that the timeframe was indeed as Su Mu indicated. He was also left with a message for Li Zhihe.

Immediately, the Director of the Cyan Cloud Demon Slayer Bureau ordered surveillance on Shangguan Feng of the Qingfeng Gang. Sure enough, there was a discovery—intelligence revealed that Shangguan Feng planned to host someone at Tongfu Restaurant in Changxing Square tomorrow night.

Thus, Li Zhihe led his men here today with his own considerations. If Li Feiyu truly belonged to the Vajra Temple and had a Vajra Temple master secretly guarding him, then he surely wouldn't be in danger tonight.

If the master intervenes, he could also claim to have shown up, thereby earning a favor from Li Feiyu.

If that Vajra Temple master fails to make a move, perhaps his previous judgment was mistaken, but he could intervene at the critical moment to save Li Feiyu. As events unfold.

A debt for saving a life would surely make Li Feiyu forever grateful and thus become completely loyal to him.

In any case, Li Zhihe would not allow Li Feiyu to die tonight, as he saw Li Feiyu as an exceptional talent worthy of nurturing, and it would be a pity if such a person fell prematurely.

Soon, there was a commotion on the top floor.

"It's started."

Li Zhihe's eyes narrowed slightly, scanning all around with piercing vision. In his view, if Li Feiyu were indeed affiliated with the Vajra Temple, then the master, who had previously defeated the Cyan-Faced Bat King and was secretly protecting him, should now reveal himself.

However, Li Zhihe detected no silhouette taking advantage of the chaos to enter the restaurant. Instead, the commotion on the rooftop suddenly ceased.

Li Zhihe's heart tightened, and he raised his right hand, ready to issue orders.

Suddenly, a stronger commotion emerged from the top floor of the Tongfu Restaurant, as if the entire building was trembling. Li Zhihe paused, retracting his hand and choosing to stay put.

As Li Zhihe observed,

a golden light suddenly burst from the top floor, illuminating it brightly.

A roaring tiger's cry, accompanied by a majestic bell sound, emanated from the rooftop, echoing above the restaurant.

"Such a magnificent Tiger Roar and Bell Sound... My previous suspicion was indeed correct!"

Under the night sky, a glint of genius flashed in Li Zhihe's eyes. He had been waiting for the master to make a move, only to realize the master had already entered the restaurant early on.

"Hoo-----"

Li Zhihe quietly exhaled in relief, knowing that the Vajra Temple in Qingyun County was not to be underestimated, being a branch of the Lingguang Temple in Qingzhou Prefecture. Now that the master had intervened, the situation was destined to turn in their favor.

He only needed to seize the opportunity to show himself and earn a good feeling.

Right at that moment, Li Zhihe's eyes suddenly sharpened, like a blade, focusing on the shadow at the alley's entrance. The sharp crunching sound of leaves under boot heels on the stone pavement echoed.

A man in a blue robe emerged slowly from the alley, his eyes like lightning beneath willow-leaf eyebrows, his face gentle like a noble young gentleman. As he approached, the ancient sword at his waist swayed slightly with his steps.

"Qingfeng Gang... Gu Feng?!"

Li Zhihe recognized the newcomer. With a low mutter, the twenty elite soldiers of the Cyan Cloud Army behind him all had a simultaneous change of expression. Many among them had heard of the Qingfeng Sword Gu Feng's reputation from their fathers before joining the Cyan Cloud Army.

This Gu Feng was the current Gang Leader of the Qingfeng Gang, one of the Five Great Powers of Cyan Cloud!

Instantly, the soldiers behind Li Zhihe became cautious, each placing a hand on their sword hilts. As Gu Feng stepped out from the shadows, a smile as pleasant as a spring breeze graced his face as he spoke invitingly.

"Director Li, why not come in? I, Gu, shall treat you to a few cups of wine."
