Immortal God of War-Chapter 99: Desperate Counter-attack_1

With the Black Bear King’s assistance, they reached the edge of Black Bear Mountain without much trouble in less than two hours.

The Black Bear King halted before a small hill.

From here, they could clearly see Black Bear City.

Qin Feiyang, Ling Yunfei, and the Wolf King leaped down from the Black Bear King’s shoulder, landing on the ground.

The Black Bear King said, "I can only escort you this far."

Qin Feiyang, who had regained much of his strength, cupped his hands in salutation. "Thank you, Elder. We shall meet again."

The Black Bear King smiled. "Hurry now. You must enter the Elixir King Palace and the Martial King Palace. Those two powers are the only shortcuts for humans like you to ascend to greatness."

"We will," the two men nodded.

Qin Feiyang waved his hand, sending the Wolf King into the ancient castle, then turned with Ling Yunfei and headed toward Black Bear City.

That human boy isn’t simple, the Black Bear King murmured to itself, watching Qin Feiyang’s receding figure.

It didn’t leave, its gaze remaining locked on Qin Feiyang and Ling Yunfei.

「...」

"Be careful," Qin Feiyang cautioned in a low voice.

"Yes," Ling Yunfei nodded.

They kept their senses sharp, halting to investigate any unusual movement. Only after confirming there was no danger did they proceed. They were concerned that people from the Jiang and Mu families, as well as the City Lord Mansion, might be lying in ambush nearby.

The journey was tense but uneventful.

They arrived behind a large boulder. One more step would put them onto a wide-open plain. So, before stepping out, they first needed to ensure there were no threats.

Hiding behind the rock, they peered towards the city gate. From this vantage point, they could clearly see the faces of those guarding it.

"Huh!"

The two were instantly surprised by what they saw.

In front of the city gate, apart from the guards of the City Lord Mansion, there were also people from other forces.

"It’s Gu Eight!" Qin Feiyang exclaimed, overjoyed upon closer inspection. Gu Eight stood right in the center before the city gate, making him particularly conspicuous.

"Gu Eight?" Ling Yunfei pondered for a moment, then asked in surprise, "If I recall correctly, isn’t he a Steward Elder of the Elixir Palace?"

"Correct!" Qin Feiyang affirmed.

A flush of elation spread across Ling Yunfei’s face. "Does his presence here mean that the Hall Master and the others have received the news?"

"Definitely!" Qin Feiyang nodded emphatically.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go!" Ling Yunfei eagerly rose and dashed out of the treeline.

Qin Feiyang also stood up, turning his head to look at the Black Bear King on the small hill, his face full of gratitude. "Elder Bear King, thank you. Even though we didn’t ultimately need your help in this part, I’m still grateful."

The Black Bear King’s mouth opened wide, silently mouthing two words: "Go now."

Qin Feiyang also mouthed silently, "Take care," then turned to catch up with Ling Yunfei. At the same time, he waved and shouted, "Elder Gu, I’m here!"

"That voice?" Gu Eight, startled, looked towards the sound and was instantly overcome with joy. He immediately ran towards Qin Feiyang and Ling Yunfei.

The eyes of the City Lord Mansion guards, however, glinted with a cold light.

Seems like I am not needed anymore, the Black Bear King chuckled to itself and turned to leave.

But before it could even take a step—

BOOM!

Suddenly, a deafening noise erupted from behind it.

Startled by the unexpected sound, the Black Bear King immediately turned around, its pupils constricting sharply.

At the same moment, Gu Eight’s expression changed dramatically!

He saw two masked men in black burst from the ground right in front of Qin Feiyang and Ling Yunfei, each wielding a three-foot-long green blade that shimmered with a terrifying radiance! The moment they appeared, they lunged towards Qin Feiyang and Ling Yunfei like lightning.

"Stop!" Seeing this, Gu Eight was extremely anxious! With an angry roar, he rushed forward to rescue them.

However, this turn of events was too sudden. The masked men were a mere five or six meters from Qin Feiyang and Ling Yunfei! Gu Eight was too far to reach them in time!

Qin Feiyang and Ling Yunfei, too, were caught completely off guard. They had never imagined that even with Gu Eight present, people would be hiding underground, waiting for a chance to assassinate them. These people were truly desperate!

The green blades were inches away, their sharp tips aimed at their hearts! The masked men clearly intended to kill them in one strike!

At this moment, Qin Feiyang and Ling Yunfei were in a dire situation! They felt as if one foot was already in the gate of death.

ROAR!

Just then, a resounding beastly roar exploded from the forest behind them. The roar drowned out the thunder, sounding as if a King had appeared, carrying with it an overwhelming pressure! It was so shocking it left their ears ringing and involuntarily churned the blood and True Qi in their bodies.

The arms of the two masked men trembled. This jolt made their blades deviate a few inches.

PFFT! PFFT!

The two green blades, glinting coldly, plunged into flesh. One pierced Qin Feiyang’s right shoulder, the other Ling Yunfei’s left.

Instantly, blood spurted violently!

"Damn it!"

"We missed?!"

The two masked men cursed in frustration, swiftly withdrawing their blades and slashing at Qin Feiyang and Ling Yunfei’s throats.

"Dream on if you think you can kill me now that I’m prepared!" Cold light surged in Qin Feiyang’s eyes. He grabbed Ling Yunfei and activated his Smoke Step, retreating as fast as lightning.

"Don’t let them escape!" one of the attackers shouted fiercely.

Both assailants, their eyes filled with murderous intent, lunged forward again! Their speed distinctly surpassed Qin Feiyang’s!

Martial Ancestor! Qin Feiyang’s pupils narrowed. With the boost from Smoke Step, his speed was comparable to a Nine-Star martial master. For them to be faster, they could only be Martial Ancestors!

He glanced at Gu Eight. Even though Gu Eight was rushing over, he wouldn’t arrive for at least five seconds. Five seconds! Ordinarily a fleeting moment, but in a life-and-death battle, even one second could be fatal.

No! Simply trying to escape is no longer an option. In this situation, counterattacking is the best way to stay alive! They definitely won’t expect me to strike back. Nor will they expect me to have a dagger that can cut through iron as if it were mud!

With this thought, Qin Feiyang turned his head and gave Ling Yunfei a meaningful look.

"Kill!"

The next moment, both men roared simultaneously. Instead of retreating, they charged towards the two masked men, their eyes blazing with killing intent!

Huh? They’re actually taking the initiative to charge at us? Are they courting death? The two masked men were visibly shocked.

"Retreat, quickly!" Gu Eight, however, was frantic, roaring repeatedly. If Jian Haotian died in front of him, the Hall Master and those two explosive-tempered Elders would surely flay him alive.

Nevertheless, Qin Feiyang paid him no heed. Seeing the two masked men momentarily distracted, he decisively took out Blue Snow, seized the opportunity, and swung it forcefully at their green blades!

CLANG!

Sparks flew in an instant! The two green blades were instantly shattered by Blue Snow!

"What?" The two masked men were dumbfounded. What is that thing? How can it be so sharp?

Just then, Ling Yunfei launched a furious attack!

"Heart Locking Kill Fist!" he roared, throwing a punch at the chest of the masked man on the left. True Qi surged out, radiating brilliantly!

BOOM!

The blow landed. The masked man spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying!

"You little beast, you’re asking for death!" The other masked man’s savagery flared. He stomped on the ground, sending mud flying everywhere.

BOOM!

He swung a palm at Ling Yunfei, a howling gale erupting around it. The surrounding rain evaporated instantaneously, creating a momentary void—a truly astonishing sight!

However, facing such a terrifying palm strike, Ling Yunfei merely grinned.

Seeing this, the masked man felt a strong sense of unease. He glanced towards Qin Feiyang out of the corner of his eye. His face changed dramatically! Where is he? Wasn’t he standing right there just now? How did he disappear in the blink of an eye?

"Behind!" He jolted, abandoning his attack on Ling Yunfei and rapidly spinning around.

But just as he turned, a dagger, pure white as jade, streaked through the air like lightning and—PFFT!—sank into the top of his head!

It turned out that when this masked man had moved to attack Ling Yunfei, Qin Feiyang had simultaneously moved behind him. Qin Feiyang naturally showed this man no mercy. With a single strike, the dagger pierced through the masked man’s entire head.

How is this possible? The man’s pupils rapidly dilated, his face a mask of disbelief.

"Remember this: never underestimate anyone. Sometimes, even an ant can topple an elephant," Qin Feiyang sneered, forcefully pulling out Blue Snow.

THUD!

The masked man collapsed instantly, splashing mud in every direction. Blood gushed from the wound on his head, instantly dyeing the rainwater crimson!

Everything happened in a flash! The masked man who had been sent flying by Ling Yunfei’s punch had just regained his balance when he saw his companion fall dead. His heart filled with disbelief! A dignified Martial Ancestor killed by a mere martial master? This is absurd, utterly absurd!

"I’d like to see what you two little beasts are truly capable of!" he roared hysterically, charging at Qin Feiyang and Ling Yunfei like a madman, his body emanating killing intent that soared to the heavens! True Qi swirled around his hands; clearly, he was preparing to use a Martial Arts Technique!

Nevertheless, Qin Feiyang and Ling Yunfei remained indifferent, a hint of mockery playing on their lips.

"You dare to lay hands on disciples of my Elixir Palace? You truly have eaten a bear’s heart and a leopard’s gall!"

"Mountain Collapsing Fist!"

At this point, a thundering roar exploded. Gu Eight finally arrived and furiously threw a punch.

Feeling the terrifying force of the fist, the masked man was shocked. He quickly turned and threw out a palm strike, simultaneously shouting, "Wind Controlling Palm!"

The fist and palm collided violently.

BOOM! CRACK! freēnovelkiss.com

The masked man was sent flying, his arm broken! Gu Eight, however, stood like a great mountain amidst the downpour, utterly unmoved.

He strode over to the masked man’s side, his eyes glinting with murderous intent, and said, "So, you’re from the City Lord’s Mansion. It seems I’ll have to leave you alive."

Qin Feiyang asked in surprise, "Elder Gu, how did you know he was from the City Lord’s Mansion?"

Gu Eight replied, "Because the Wind Controlling Palm technique is known only to people from the City Lord’s Mansion."

Qin Feiyang clenched his fists, his voice heavy. "It seems he won’t rest until I’m dead."

Gu Eight sneered, "Don’t worry. As long as we take this man back, he’ll be unable to defend himself. Then, forget about his position as City Lord—whether he can even keep his life will be in question. Just wait for a good show!"

But before his words had faded, the masked man suddenly slammed a palm into his own chest!

SPURT!

An immediate torrent of blood gushed forth. He stared malevolently at Qin Feiyang and the others, his face contorted in a savage grin. "Killing Jian Haotian and Ling Yunfei was our own idea! It has nothing to do with the City Lord. You can dream on if you think you can slander the City Lord!"

With that, he collapsed face down in the mud.

Gu Eight hurriedly rushed over and placed his hand on the masked man’s chest. His expression instantly darkened!
