Gou Zai Gaowu Shijie Cheng Shen

Chapter 150 Murder in the Street, Breakthrough in Knife Skill!
The next day, as soon as I arrived at work...

Xu Feng heard many complaints from his colleagues.

"This new minister is absolutely an idiot!"

Old Chen sat at his workstation and started cursing.

A colleague quickly reminded him, "Shh, keep your voice down!"

Xu Feng asked in surprise, "What happened? I didn't ask for leave yesterday, did I? It feels like I missed 200 episodes of a TV series."

Old Chen took a deep breath: "The new minister immediately reduced the number of guards."

Unless it's a group of ten people going out on a mission together, there won't be a whole squad of martial arts warriors escorting them!
"At most, you can only be accompanied by two high-level warriors!"

"What?" Xu Feng immediately asked in astonishment, "Aren't field operations usually conducted in groups of five?"

"The base station antennas are all deep in the mountains. Two high-ranking soldiers alone probably can't protect the entire group, right?"

Old Chen was furious: "Who says it isn't? You damn bastard."

The aim is to reduce combat personnel losses and decrease the deployment of unnecessary personnel.

This is treating our engineers' lives like they're nothing!

"that is!"

"It's garbage."

Several engineers standing nearby nodded in agreement, each with a look of dissatisfaction on their faces.

Xu Feng turned to look at Liu Charlie in the other corner of the office, then looked at Old Chen: "Did Engineer Liu say anything?"

"I offered my opinion," Old Chen said, a hint of fear flashing across his face, "and then I got slapped."

"Huh?" Xu Feng was genuinely surprised.

Slap?
What era is this?
Ancient?

We're all just working people. Even if you're a superior, what gives you the right to hit people?
Xu Feng frowned and said, "Isn't this reckless? Didn't Old Liu call the police? He should contact the Armed Police Investigation Bureau."

"Hey, we servants have no human rights! Old Liu doesn't want to make a big deal out of this."

And even if we contact the Armed Police Investigation Bureau, what good will it do? Will we still be able to work?

Old Chen sighed dejectedly.

Xu Feng was slightly taken aback, but quickly realized what was happening and sighed.

Perhaps it's because he's been an engineer for a long time.

I've always felt that engineers are at least much higher in status than ordinary employees at the bottom.

But now it seems that, in the eyes of those higher-ups...

Whether they are ordinary employees, aspiring martial artists, or engineers, they are all servants of the martial arts.

"Give me more tasks in the future, and try to lead the teams as much as possible for better safety."

After thinking for a moment, Xu Feng got up and walked over to Engineer Liu, whispering something to him.

Liu Charlie turned to look at Xu Feng, a hint of shame appearing on his swollen face: "I, I—"

Despite being in his forties, Xu Feng saw a hint of humiliation and guilt in his eyes.

Xu Feng patted Liu Charlie on the shoulder, unsure how to comfort him.

After they both sighed at the same time
Walking back to his workstation, Xu Feng felt somewhat depressed.

Yes.

He felt somewhat depressed ever since he came into this world.

Even after cultivating to this level, the suppression still lingers.

At the same time, he also felt a surge of impulse.

An inexplicable impulse.

He took a deep breath, twisted his neck, and loosened his muscles.

"Crack-"

The muscles and bones resonated together, like a crisp thunderclap.

After taking another deep breath, Xu Feng lowered his head and began repairing several high-specification tactical watches on the table.

after get off work.

Xu Feng walked towards home.

As the daylight gradually dimmed, neon lights and dim streetlights rose up everywhere.

As we approached the vicinity of the residential area, the number of pedestrians on the road gradually decreased.

A chilly wind blew around him, and thinking about what had happened at work, he couldn't help but feel a little cold.

Shrinking his neck, Xu Feng looked up at the sky.

Night gradually fell, the darkness deepening, like a black canopy covering the sky.

It covers the entire world, obscuring the starlight.

He shook his head slightly, feeling that he was being overly sentimental.

He was just a lowly junior warrior; it was already a miracle he could protect himself.

How can I have time to worry about others?
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from afar.

Xu Feng looked up and saw two figures rushing toward him, one after the other.

The leader was a woman dressed in plain clothes. Her face was filled with panic and fear as she cried out to Xu Feng, "Help! Sir, help me! Someone is trying to kill me!"

Xu Feng immediately stopped in his tracks, his gaze passing over the woman and looking into the distance.

A cold-looking man in a black combat suit was seen quickly chasing after the woman.

When you see the large spear he's carrying and his distinctive, precise footwork, as if measured by a ruler.

Xu Feng immediately raised an eyebrow, recalling Yue Changkong, the champion of the talent selection competition.

But the strange thing is.

This cold-looking young man was not Yue Changkong, but rather bore a slight resemblance to him.

"Help!!"

The woman instantly fled to Xu Feng's side.

Xu Feng immediately stepped forward.

Before the woman could even show a look of surprise, her pupils suddenly contracted.

hum!
An invisible shock struck her directly into her mind.

His face turned pale, but he quickly recovered.

He even reacted faster than the black fighter he killed!
Xu Feng's expression changed slightly, and he quickly retreated.

The opponent is at least a mid-level warrior, and may even be a high-level warrior!

"you!"

The woman's face immediately showed a look of shock and anger, and she swiftly pulled a dagger from her bosom and stabbed at Xu Feng.

But the next moment.

A long spear came hurtling through the air.

Just as the woman was about to dodge, she suddenly felt dizzy.

The spear, which shot towards her with lightning speed, pierced her skull with a "whoosh," killing the woman instantly.

"Killed!"

"Ahhh!!"

Several screams immediately rang out from the street.

"Police investigation!"

Only then did the man in black shout something to reassure the pedestrians.

He then quickly walked up to Xu Feng and showed him an ID.

Xu Feng took a closer look.

It reads "Special Investigation Team of Base No. 9" and the name is "Yue Linfei".

"Thanks."

The young man spoke to Xu Feng, and then took a picture of the woman's face.

Only then did a stiff smile appear on the cold young man's face.

He turned to Xu Feng and said, "Thank you for your courage, sir. May I ask your name?"

"Xu Feng, may I leave now?"

Xu Feng nodded slightly, asked a question, and then turned to leave.

"By the way, how did you know she was a criminal?"

The young man raised his hand to stop Xu Feng and asked in surprise.

Xu Feng glanced at him and said calmly, "I don't know, but which general would ask a passerby for help in this situation?"

"And she tried to kill me in the end, so I thought I'd let her go first." The young man was slightly taken aback, then raised an eyebrow and withdrew his arm.

Xu Feng then stepped aside and continued walking back.

Just as the two were talking, several figures rushed in from all directions of the street and surrounded the scene.

Watching Xu Feng leave, the cold expression on the black-clad youth's face immediately turned into a look of surprise: "This Base No. 9 is truly a place where dragons and tigers hide."

Back home, Xu Feng told Lu Fei about what had happened that afternoon.

"Special Investigation Team? No wonder they made arrests on the street."

These guys target extremely dangerous and vicious people.

He's either a spy, a madman, or a cult member.

"A cult?" Xu Feng asked in surprise. "What era are we living in? Are people still believing in this? They can't be that ignorant, can they?"

“Ignorant?” Lu Fei scoffed. “Just look at the number of people who have been scammed by telecom fraud in our neighborhood every year, and you’ll know how many idiots there are.”

Xu Feng: "You seem unusually aggressive today, what's wrong?"

Lu Fei said irritably, "Ugh, a stupid counselor came to the school and is specifically in charge of our group of students."

That guy not only reduced the teaching subsidies for our group of students, but also increased the frequency of assignments for our group of students.

I estimate I'll be going out on fieldwork every week from now on.

Xu Feng chuckled and said, "It wouldn't be that Cheng Yu, would it?"

Lu Fei exclaimed in surprise, "Huh?"

Yes, that's him, a complete idiot, just like that Fan Ming.

By the way, isn't he the head of your engineering department now?
"Like master, like disciple."

Xu Feng smiled and hugged Lu Fei, comforting her, "Alright, don't be angry. We'll be going back for the finals in less than three months."

Once you join the War God Camp, you won't need to worry about these trivial matters anymore.

Lu Fei smiled and said, "It's not that easy."

"I believe you," Xu Feng said earnestly.

Lu Fei cupped Xu Feng's face in her hands and smiled, "My husband admires me because he loves me. I still have a long way to go. I need to work hard for the next three months."

"I'll help you," Xu Feng said with a smile.

“Okay,” Lu Fei leaned gently on Xu Feng’s shoulder, “Hehe, it’s so good to have you here.”

Hsu Feng smiled and patted her on the back: "Let's work hard together."

"Mmm." Lu Fei nodded vigorously.

Xu Feng thought the day would pass peacefully.

Unexpectedly, as the family was watching TV in the living room in the evening, someone knocked on the villa's front door.

Xu Feng opened the door and, along with the person outside, exclaimed in surprise, "It's you!"

Standing outside the door was Yue Linfei from the Special Investigation Team, with two martial artists behind him who also appeared to be members of the Special Investigation Team.

"Hello Mr. Xu, is Ms. Lu home? We'd like to discuss something with her."

Yue Linfei was clearly a serious person in his daily life.

Even though his tone was very polite and courteous, his face was cold and unsmiling.

If Xu Feng hadn't seen this guy's zombie face before, he would have thought he was hostile towards him.

"At home, wait a moment." Xu Feng didn't open the door, but stood in the doorway blocking the group. He turned to Lu Fei and called out, "Little Lu, it's Detective Yue from the Special Investigation Team who wants to see you!"

Upon hearing Xu Feng's words, Lu Fei quickly walked out of the living room and looked at the people outside the door with surprise: "Is there something you need?"

She glanced at Xu Feng, gave him a reassuring look, and then said, "Let's go outside and talk."

Xu Feng then stepped aside to make way for him.

Once Lu Fei and the others started chatting outside the door, Xu Feng leaned against the door and listened intently.

However, he only vaguely heard that someone had died, and it seemed that they knew Lu Fei or something.

A moment later, Lu Fei turned and walked towards home, her face solemn.

Yue Linfei, standing behind Xu Feng, exchanged a glance with him and nodded slightly before turning and leaving.

"What happened?" Xu Feng asked Lu Fei as she walked into the room.

Do you remember Han Yan, the runner-up in the talent selection competition?

Lu Fei did not enter the living room, but stood behind the entrance hall and looked at Xu Feng, asking a question.

"I remember, that expert in defense."

Xu Feng nodded. Could this person be a member of a cult?

“He’s dead,” Lu Fei said gravely.

"Huh?" Xu Feng was slightly taken aback, then exclaimed in shock, "How did he die? Was he murdered? Who did it?"

"We don't know yet, all we know is that he died last night and his brain was removed."

Lu Fei shook her head, her face grim.

"The Special Investigation Unit is just conducting a routine inquiry, after all, I have dealt with Han Yan before."

Xu Feng immediately felt a chill run down his spine and exclaimed in astonishment, "A powerful warrior was killed in the city, and he was a genius at that!"
This is outrageous! How did they manage to do that?
A warrior-level expert making a big fuss, right? Could it be the work of a war god?

“How could that be!” Lu Fei shook her head. “Anyway, the authorities are investigating this matter, so be careful lately.”

I think we should hire a team to set up early warning systems inside and outside the villa.

“Okay, I’ll go find someone,” Xu Feng nodded, glancing inside the room. “Don’t tell Xiao Dan the specifics of this yet, but tell her what to do if she encounters danger.”

“Okay, I’ll speak,” Lu Fei said.

Xu Feng nodded, put on his coat, and walked outside.

Soon, he made a phone call to Huang Feifeng of the Jingxi Chain.

"Hey Manager Huang, I'm sorry to bother you so late. Do you sell early warning devices in Jingxi?"

The next morning.

Staff from Jingxi then visited the site to install the "integrated early warning device".

In less than three hours, the security alert level at Xu Feng's house was raised to a higher level.

This set of equipment cost a total of 112 million yuan, which is quite expensive, but the effect is very good.

The entire villa was almost entirely under surveillance, with Xu Feng able to monitor it all using a single surveillance camera.

Furthermore, the early warning system is directly connected to the alarm system of the security department at Base 9.

As soon as an alarm is triggered, the security department will receive the message immediately.

That's probably one of the benefits of being rich.

Han Yan's death, like any other news story, was quickly forgotten.

One month later.

In the martial arts room.

Xu Feng's sword suddenly trembled, and a layer of white "mist" suddenly swirled up on the blade.

His face lit up with joy, and in the next instant, the clouds and mist vanished.

However, Xu Feng was not annoyed, and instead opened the panel with satisfaction.

Xunfeng Knife Technique - Proficient (2/400)

"Finally, I've reached the proficiency level. According to the manual, this is also the most crucial step."

Having reached this level.

Xu Feng was able to simultaneously unleash what he called "罡劲" (gang jin) by circulating his internal energy and blood at the same time when he swung his sword.

The white mist emanating from the blade was an effect similar to a small-scale cloud burst, created by the force of the internal energy tearing through the air.

"Although I have mastered the Gang Jin, the upper limit of the power amplitude is only 2.4 times."

Therefore, the Xunfeng Blade is currently inferior to the Wind Blade in terms of power burst, after all, its level is too low.

But once you reach the mastery level, its power becomes considerable.

Furthermore, I didn't expect that this internal force would also incorporate the characteristics of wind force. It can also eliminate the sound when making a move.

This is excellent; it's perfect for a stealthy waist buckle to ambush and kill.

He used two more sword techniques to feel the abundant energy within the sword before sheathing it with satisfaction.

Looking at the panel, I realized that the "Refining the Heart" secret technique only needs 2 more points of proficiency to reach the mastery level.

Xu Feng took a deep breath: "Let's charge forward tonight!"

hum-

Soon, four more throwing knives floated up from inside the martial arts room.

Swish!
With a thought from Xu Feng.

The four throwing knives began to dance wildly around Xu Feng in their own strange patterns.
