Chapter 113: One Against A Hundred!
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
The blood-red afterglow of the setting sun added a poetic mood to the still scene of the Qingcheng Lake. Over 300 men stood silently on the bank of the reservoir as they observed the idiot called Bei Feng with mocking gazes.
"Did my ears deceive me? That guy is challenging all of us at once?"
"Haha, you never know... perhaps that fellow can fight one against a hundred? Look at that spear in his hands. Good fellow! Does he think that we don't have weapons on our side?"
"Retard who can't tell life from death!"
The battle-hardened gangsters sneered. It was fine if the challenger had a large host of men behind him to overwhelm them with numbers. But just a mere seven men group actually dared to run all the way out here to threaten them? What a colossal joke!
Even the people from Wulong Gang could scarcely believe their ears. Their numbers were a least 20 times less than the people from Qing Gang, but they actually had the guts to provoke Qing Gang like that!
"So it's just a bunch of people who doesn't know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is. Haha, we can just sit back and take this as watching an entertaining show."
The people from Wulong Gang all had strange expressions as they looked on mockingly at their old rivals.
Li Gong's face was completely black at this moment. Perhaps the prestige of his Qing Gang had already gone so deep into the gutters that even any random cat and dog now felt confident enough to think of taking a bite out of them?!
"Young man, I have to hand it to you. You courage is admirable!" Li Yun laughed lightly as he looked at Bei Feng who seemed as calm as the water in the lake.
"Three more seconds," Bei Feng did not even bother to look at Li Gong, simply continuing to count down in an expressionless tone.
The corner of Li Gong's mouth twitched violently. That d*mned youngster actually completely disregarded him! "Break all his limbs and drag that fool back to me!" Li Gong growled as he signaled to the men behind him.
Over 20 men with all manners of blades and clubs immediately stepped out of their ranks and walked towards Bei Feng's group, their lips curled up in a wicked sneer.
These guys were all core combatants of Qing Gang. With regards to things like killing and fighting, they were no strangers. Not even bothering to waste any time with words, they directly swung their weapons at Bei Feng's group.
"You seek death!"
Bei Feng and the six Mystics charged forward at the same time. Their speed was exceptionally fast and in almost an instant, they had dived into the ranks of the Qing Gang's fighters!
Bei Feng's group was like a pride of lions released into a flock of sheep. With Bei Feng as the center, a loud boom sounded out and within the area of 1 zhang around him, and not a single person could avoid losing their balance! [TL/N: Zhang = 3 ⅓ meters = 10 Chi]
The 3,600-jin-heavy spear in Bei Feng's hands swept outwards in a majestic manner. There was no profound spear art or complex movements contained in the move. It was just a straightforward swing!
Of course, Bei Feng had already controlled his strength to a large degree. Otherwise, even if the gangsters were not directly cleft in half on the spot, they would at least be paralyzed. Carrying out a slaughter like that was out of the question. If he really killed so many people, he would instantly turn into the most wanted villain in the entire country!
But even with most of his strength restrained, the remaining tiny percent of his might was still not something that normal people could withstand!
The men who were struck by Extreme Arctic Frost were completely unable to withstand the force, and thus sent soaring violently through the air. At the same time, a sliver of Frost Qi also wormed into their bodies.
With the frail constitution of these regular people, it was needless to say that the presence of even the slightest hint of Frost Qi in their bodies would cause them to suffer a major illness and fever. The more unlucky ones who were directly struck by the tip of Extreme Arctic Frost lost their lives on the spot. Even their wounds were frozen by a layer of ice. Not a single drop of blood flowed out.
The six Mystics were not as overpowered, but their strikes were also extremely clean and efficient.
Any opponent they came across was quickly taken down and removed from the fight. There wasn't even a need for a second strike since their opponents could not even get back on their feet!
Li Gong widened his eyes with shock. That scene seemed to be different from what he had expected! "What the hell are the rest of you standing there for? All of you, attack!"
'F*ck, I don't believe you're that formidable! So what if you can fight against 10 or 20 people? I'll crush you with the sheer weight of numbers!' Li Gong gritted his teeth with rage.
On the side of Wulong Gang, the higher ups of the syndicate were also discussing fervently. "I think we can go and rescue that group of people! If we can make them join us instead, our Wulong Gang would definitely be able to crush Qing Gang!" A core member suggested.
"Mn. But let's not move yet. We'll wait until they're almost overwhelmed and on the verge of losing before going in to rescue them. That way, they will view our Wulong Gang with gratitude and undying loyalty!" Another core member fondled his chin and said.
Seemingly pleased with the idea, the rest also nodded their heads and prepared their men. The moment Bei Feng's group looked like they were going to lose, they would immediately swoop in and rescue them!
But much to the surprise and dismay of Wulong Gang, not only did Bei Feng's group not look like they were losing, they even held the upper hand in the fight!
Bei Feng's blood was boiling and his momentum was absolutely frightening as he fleeted through the battlefield, fighting to his heart's content. Although a brawl of this level was more similar to an adult kicking a bunch of kids in the playground, it was still an undeniably exhilarating experience for him!
Which man had never dreamed of one day becoming a formidable martial expert as a kid? Which man had never fantasized about being the main hero in a glorious battle, surrounded and fighting against thousands upon thousands of enemies and monsters all by himself?!
'God d*mnit! Where did this crazy f*cker come from?! How can anyone be this formidable!'
Li Gong and Gao Xin looked on with wide eyes and open mouths as they witnessed over half of the over 100 men they brought sprawled on the ground in all kinds of positions. Finally, they realized that they had brutally smashed their toes against a steel board this time.
"Clang!"
"He's not a human! Run!"
It was unclear who was the first one to say that, but a deafening clatter sounded out as numerous weapons were thrown to the ground simultaneously.
The psychological impact of that single cry was boundlessly powerful. In an instant, anyone who was left standing immediately threw their weapons to the ground and fled wildly in all directions!
Seeing so many bodies around them, their life or death unknown, the rest were truly scared out of their wits.
No matter how they looked at it, this level of danger was definitely not worth the pittance of money they were promised!
"Come back! What the hell are you running for?!"
The expressions of the core members of Qing Gang changed drastically. D*mnit, these people were each more brutal than the other when they were beating up other people. But now that they couldn't beat the opponent, the speed at which they fled was faster than that of anybody!
And, bloody hell, it's fine if you want to run. But can't you freaking take us along with you?!
Those core members who had became a little 'fluffier' and less agile because of the comfort of recent days swallowed nervously as they looked at each other. Then, they turned to look at Gao Xin in tandem, as if hinting at something.
"Ah, Gao Xin, you know that I look very highly upon your talents. This time when we go back, I'll definitely recommend you to Brother Dong to make you the next leader!"
A very round and hefty-looking senior patted Gao Xin on the shoulders heavily, as though conveying their appreciation for him.
The other high-ranking core members also hurriedly expressed their affirmation and support for him. Their meaning was obvious. You bring up the rear while we retreat, and we'll all cover for you when we get back!
The corner of Gao Xin's mouth twitched violently. He'd really underestimated this bunch of people! They were too f*cking shameless!
But now that the arrow had been drawn, there was no choice but to loose it!
Gao Xin was the one who had personally given the orders back then and killed three generals from Bei Feng's side. The grudge between them was already irreparable!
With a grim expression on his face, Gao Xin pulled out a crossbow and loaded a bolt onto it. This crossbow had enough power to penetrate a human body with relative ease within a distance of 50 steps! It was incredibly powerful, while at the same time, it lacked the fatal flaws of the crossbows used on the previous day.
Bei Feng's group was still rampaging wildly within the battlefield. Gao Xin swallowed nervously as he raised the crossbow and aimed it at one of the Mystics. But after some consideration, he still locked onto Bei Feng in the end.
'This person is the one who is the greatest threat! Also, he seems to be the person with the highest position among this group of people. As long as I can kill him, the rest are not a threat at all!'
Gao Xin thought solemnly as he pulled the trigger.
"Shu! Shu! Shu!"
Three consecutive twangs rang out as three 20-centimeter-thick bolts shot towards Bei Feng in a triangular formation!
With a swing of his spear, Bei Feng sent two idiots who had tried to grab onto his spear flying. At the same time, he suddenly felt a light prickly feeling on his skin, as though there were numerous pins poking at him!
Turning around, he saw three crossbow bolts flying towards his chest with great speed!
"Interesting... still trying to assassinate me?"
Bei Feng laughed coldly. Now that his body had reached the level of 3 stars, how were his physical capabilities limited to only 10 times greater than the regular person?
Without even needing to notice the danger himself, his body was already capable of sensing and alerting him of any potential danger! In an instant, Bei Feng's mental power expanded outwards, enveloping everything within three meters of him!
Based on his perception, the crossbow bolts were already within three meters of him. But as his mental power spread out, the arrows began to slow down. Bei Feng could clearly see the glint of the crossbow bolts and the slight distortion in the air as the bolts sliced through it. The air was like a gentle current, flowing around the metallic arrowhead, merging into a tiny tail which trailed behind the crossbow bolts.
