On the highway, scattered wreckage and abandoned vehicles could often be seen.
At this moment, night had already fallen. There was no moon tonight, and very few stars. The faint starlight barely allowed one to make out the outline of the highway.
At a certain stretch, a large bus had overturned beside the road.
The four members of the Thunder Squad were sitting on the ground, leaning against the bus.
“Young master’s training plan wasn’t fully completed this time, but his strength has indeed improved quite a bit.”
The elderly man surnamed Liu said with a smile.
“Not bad, but compared to my father’s expectations, it’s still far from enough.”
The mixed race young man Li Wei shook his head.
“Young master, at your age, your strength is already very impressive,” Liu said. Kalon and Pan Ya also nodded.
Li Wei shook his head again.
“Not enough, far from enough. There are quite a few in Jiangnan Base City in their twenties who are intermediate battle generals. My parents are both War Gods. How can their son be worse? Oh right, Pan Ya, that Luo Feng from the Fire Hammer Squad you mentioned, he’s only nineteen this year, right? And he’s already a junior battle general. Me, the son of two War Gods, am I worse than some nobody?”
“Yes, yes,” Liu quickly agreed.
“Young master, you are the strongest,” the white man Kalon also echoed.
Li Wei smiled faintly.
Pan Ya, the Tiger Fang Squad captain, sighed.
“Young master put it that way, it’s true. Compared to him, that Luo Feng is nothing. But that Luo Feng is actually my biggest problem.”
“The Fire Hammer Squad and my Tiger Fang Squad are sworn enemies. Now I’m the only one left. The Fire Hammer Squad will definitely come after me.”
“Everyone else is manageable, but that Luo Feng’s growth is terrifying.”
“Not long after becoming a martial artist, he’s already a junior battle general. At this rate, he’ll surpass me soon. By then, I’ll be dead for sure.”
Pan Ya let out a long sigh.
He truly regretted it.
He had once seen Luo Feng at a supply base, and Zhang Ze Hu had suggested killing him then. But Pan Ya worried about alerting others, so he didn’t act.
Who could have imagined that Luo Feng’s strength would skyrocket afterwards?
His reputation as the “Madman” spread throughout Jiangnan Base City, killing over ten thousand monsters in two months, mostly high level soldier class beasts.
Unfortunately, Pan Ya only met him again later in City 003.
“After you return, aren’t you planning to join another martial squad?” Li Wei asked.
“Yes, but this hatred with the Fire Hammer Squad won’t go away. I might get shot from behind at any time.”
Pan Ya looked bitter. He knew very well that they had once done exactly the same thing to the Fire Hammer Squad.
Now, given his strength, a single sniper shot in an unguarded moment would likely kill him.
Pan Ya looked at Li Wei.
“Young master, if there is a chance through your underground alliance intelligence network to find out where Luo Feng is in the wilderness, could you inform me?”
“Sure, no problem,” Li Wei said generously.
Liu and Kalon exchanged glances. They could see Pan Ya’s intentions clearly, but since they were only bodyguards, they did not care much.
Moreover, Pan Ya had been flattering them, which made them feel good.
Helping him a little was not a big deal.
“It’s late. Let’s rest early. We still have to travel tomorrow morning,” Liu said.
The four of them then began to rest.
Unlike summer, most martial squads travelled during the day and rested at night in winter.
Late at night, the four of them either sat cross legged or lay on the ground. Only the young master did not fully sleep. The others merely rested their minds. They dared not sleep deeply.
In the wilderness, monsters could appear at any time.
“Noisy…”
Pan Ya, Liu, and Kalon suddenly opened their eyes at the same time.
They heard footsteps.
A figure appeared from beside the bus and turned to look at them.
The two sides made eye contact.
“How did I run into them!”
Luo Feng almost cursed out loud.
He had been happily on his way home, but unexpectedly the Thunder Squad was resting behind the bus. The bus had blocked his view, so he had not noticed them until now.
It was already too late.
“Luo Feng!”
Pan Ya said in a low voice, his eyes lighting up.
He had finally found him.
“Well, well, if it isn’t Luo Feng. I’ve seen you before.”
The mixed race young man Li Wei also stood up, looking at Luo Feng coldly.
He already knew Pan Ya wanted Luo Feng dead, and now Luo Feng had delivered himself to their doorstep.
There was no need to say more.
Li Wei looked at Luo Feng with a faint hint of pity.
“Luo Feng, you’ve walked straight into your own grave.”
Pan Ya glanced at Liu and Kalon.
The two men gave slight nods.
Before, Pan Ya had already requested their help in dealing with the Fire Hammer Squad, but they had not found an opportunity.
“Luo Feng, who are you speaking to like that?” Liu shouted coldly.
“Senior,” Luo Feng lowered his posture.
“Who is your senior?”
Liu glared at him.
“Pan Ya’s previous teammates were likely killed by you. Since you killed his teammates, you deserve to die.”
Li Wei also smiled faintly, preparing to watch how Luo Feng would be killed.
A genius?
Killing a genius was an interesting thing.
“What should I do?”
Luo Feng’s expression turned ugly.
He could easily kill Pan Ya alone, but with the other three present, it became troublesome.
Especially Li Wei.
If they attacked, should he resist or not?
If he did not resist, he would die.
If he did resist and killed Li Wei, the consequences would be disastrous.
But if he did not kill him, Li Wei’s revenge would be even more terrifying.
His mind raced rapidly.
Liu, Kalon, and Pan Ya slowly closed in.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Luo Feng suddenly threw three throwing knives at Pan Ya and immediately turned to flee.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Pan Ya blocked two and dodged the third.
“Chase him!”
The three of them burst forward.
At that moment, the two throwing knives that had fallen to the ground suddenly shot backwards.
They targeted Liu and Kalon’s heads.
Because they were facing away, and the speed was controlled by Luo Feng’s spiritual force.
The knives were faster than bullets.
Pfft! Pfft!
Both heads exploded instantly.
“What!”
Pan Ya was shocked.
One of the knives curved in mid air and shot towards him.
He swung his blade desperately, barely grazing it.
But the knife twisted.
Slash!
Half his skull was cut away.
“Ah!”
Li Wei widened his eyes in shock and reached for his communicator.
Pfft!
A third knife sliced through his neck.
His head flew into the air, blood spraying like a fountain.
In an instant.
All four members of the Thunder Squad were killed.
“A cornered rabbit will bite.”
“You really thought I wouldn’t kill you?”
“Damn it, just because your father is a War God?”
“If I get exposed, worst case I’ll reveal I’m a spiritual force user and join the core of the Extreme Martial Hall.”
“And whether your father can even find me is another matter.”
Luo Feng’s eyes were red with madness.
He recalled his flying knives and immediately turned into a blur, disappearing into the grasslands beside the highway.
