Gou Zai Gaowu Shijie Cheng Shen

Chapter 258 Assassination, Dramatic Change!
Rumble, rumble——

Lightning flashed across the sky and earth.

Dark clouds rolled by, bringing torrential rain that quickly froze into ice on the ground.

Winter day, torrential rain, thunder.
These phenomena, so rare on Earth, come together to create a unique landscape in the dimensional world.

Pedestrians hurried along the street, their steps cautious.

The traffic moved at a snail's pace.

In an office at the command post.
Xu Feng sat by the stove, watching his master carefully examine the token, patiently and quietly waiting.

Beside him, Gu Cheng was clicking the mouse repeatedly.

"It's rare to see people using such old-fashioned computers these days."

Xu Feng smiled and said in a low voice.

Gu Cheng glanced at him: "I'm used to using these old relics, laptops, and old smartphones."

Retro style is all the rage now, you know? They look the same, but their function is completely different from what it used to be.

Xu Feng shrugged, glanced at the new scar on Gu Cheng's neck, and asked, "Is the situation tense lately?"

“Hmm,” Gu Cheng said in a low voice, “After interrogating Chen Zhengfeng, we obtained a lot of information.”

The Extinction Heart Cult established multiple secret strongholds in the mountains and forests surrounding the base.

We've been working on removing it recently, but removing a malignant tumor always comes at a price.

At this point, Gu Cheng glanced at him and said, "I heard you made quite a name for yourself at the B3 base."

Now you are famous throughout the entire God of War community, and are known as "Wind Blade".

From now on, should I call you 'Wind Blade' War God?

Xu Feng: "What kind of nickname is this? It's awful. It would be much more imposing to call me Blade Emperor or Blade King."

“That’s too tacky,” Gu Cheng shook his head, then closed his laptop and sighed. “The Great Xia government has no records of this token.”

Behind the desk, Li Yuanying shook his head slightly: "I don't recognize this either, which is really strange."

“Since even our master and the official database cannot find it, the origin of this token is probably more ancient and secretive than we imagined.”

Xu Feng took the token from Li Yuanying and carefully put it away, his suspicions about "Blood Slaughter" growing even heavier.

Even Master doesn't know, so we can only ask Senior Yin.

"Alright, since there's no solution for now, let's put it aside for the time being."

Li Yuanying waved his hand.

Gu Cheng got up and stretched, the scar on his neck looking somewhat ferocious in the firelight: "Put your things away carefully. Things haven't been peaceful lately, so be careful."

"Your reputation as 'Wind Blade' has spread far and wide; it's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark."

Xu Feng nodded, about to speak.

Boom! !
A pale white bolt of lightning tore through the sky and flashed past the window.

The thunderclap that followed seemed to have sounded right on the rooftop.

The windows rattled loudly.

"This awful weather..." Gu Cheng frowned and looked out the window.

Xu Feng also looked out the window at the torrential rain and the vehicles and pedestrians struggling to move forward on the street, and a sense of alarm rose in his heart.

Having reached his level of cultivation, his intuition for danger far surpasses that of ordinary people.

Go home early.

"Master, Brother Gu, it's getting late and the rain is so heavy, I'll head back now."

Xu Feng got up to take his leave.

Li Yuanying nodded slightly: "Be careful on the road."

"Yes, Master."

Xu Feng stood up, nodded to Gu Cheng, and then pushed open the office door and walked out of the office.

After leaving the command post, the sound of wind and rain outside became clearer, carrying a biting chill.

Xu Feng's blood and qi circulated slowly within his body, dispelling the damp coldness around him.

The cold rain, mixed with tiny ice pellets, hit my face.

There were few pedestrians on the street, and the few vehicles that did appear moved slowly.

The windshield wipers were swung wildly, but it was still difficult to see the road ahead.

Instead of taking any transportation, Xu Feng decided to walk back to his residence to clear his mind.

As his qi and blood evaporate, the rainwater will evaporate and disappear the moment it falls, and it will not fall on Xu Feng at all.

Mental energy, like invisible tentacles, quietly spreads out, alerting to any disturbances around it.

The buildings on both sides of the street appeared hazy and silent in the rain.

Only the neon lights cast distorted shadows on the wet ground.

Everything seems normal.

However, just as he reached a relatively quiet street corner—

"laugh--!"

A very faint sound, almost completely masked by the sound of rain and thunder, came from the rooftop behind us!

Extremely fast!

Ruthless and vicious!

Xu Feng's hair stood on end instantly!

It was the chilling feeling of being targeted by a deadly venomous snake!

He didn't even have time to turn around completely; he could only rely on instinct and exert force from his waist.

His body twisted violently to one side as if it had no bones.

At the same time, the black-patterned suit, which had been on alert, instantly enveloped his entire body.

That wasn't the sound of raindrops.

Rather, it is some kind of high-speed rotating, deadly thing that tears through the air!

Whoosh!
A streak of dark light flashed past his forehead, and the sharp wind it generated caused his black patterned suit to dent slightly!
The dark light pierced directly into the wall not far behind him, leaving a small, bottomless hole.

The concrete around the opening instantly turned an ominous purplish-black color and emitted a "sizzling" corroding sound!
poison!
And it's highly poisonous!
Xu Feng's eyes instantly turned icy cold. He floated back several meters, his gaze shooting like lightning towards the direction from which the attack was coming.

"Humph!"

His movements did not stop at all.

As he twisted his body, his right hand had already grasped a throwing knife.

Without even looking, Xu Feng swung his hand back and flung it in the direction from which the short shuttle had come!
boom!
The torrential rain burst into countless water droplets.

The throwing knife pierced through the water mist and crashed into a dark window of a commercial building across the street!

Swish!
However, it was a disappointment!

"The response is good; it truly lives up to its name, 'Wind Blade'."

A hoarse and cold voice seemed to ring directly in Xu Feng's ear.

It carries a playful, cat-and-mouse dynamic.

The sound pierced through the raging wind and rain, crystal clear.

No nonsense, no confrontation.

Almost at the same time the sound rang out.

The rain curtain to Xu Feng's left seemed to be cut open by an invisible hand.

A blurry black figure appeared out of thin air like a ghost, holding a short, dark blue dagger no more than a foot long.

The short thorns had no reflective surface, yet they exuded a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine, aiming straight for Xu Feng's temple!

Extremely fast speed, and ruthless, tricky angles!
Xu Feng's pupils suddenly contracted.

The opponent's movement and attack methods were extremely strange.

It seemed to blend into the wind and rain, its aura ethereal and difficult to pinpoint.

This is a professional assassin, a war god killer!
"roll!"

Xu Feng's internal energy and blood erupted, and with a flick of his wrist, the Xuanjin Battle Blade slashed horizontally.

Their attacks are purely offensive, without any defense, employing a strategy of exchanging blows for damage!
Dang! !

Sparks flew through the rain!

Almost instantly, all the rainwater and puddles in the alley were cleared away by the terrifying shockwave from the collision between the two.

Huge power came.

Xu Feng's arm went slightly numb, and his feet left a trail of water on the ground as he slid back several meters.

A chilling, bone-piercing energy, carrying a strong corrosive quality, surged into Xu Feng's arm instantly through the finger blade.

It made his entire arm feel numb!
However, his opponent was also stunned by his hasty yet fierce counterattack, causing him to pause slightly and retreat several meters.

"what?"

The assassin seemed somewhat surprised that Xu Feng could block his deadly attack so quickly.

Take advantage of this gap.

Xu Feng stomped his foot hard, and the water and thin ice on the ground exploded with a bang!

He shot backward like a cannonball, while simultaneously swung his Xuanjin Battle Blade out with his right hand.

then.

With his hands free, Xu Feng suddenly flung out ten throwing knives, which flew straight towards the man like a long metal dragon!

The shadowy figure was clearly caught off guard by Xu Feng's sudden burst of fierce momentum and power, and its rhythm faltered slightly.

But he was, after all, a top-tier assassin.

At the critical moment, the short dagger retracted and struck the flying sword, using the force to propel the body backward.

but.

Little did he know, this was the opportunity Xu Feng had been waiting for!
Mental storm!

Receive!
Swish!
The throwing knives suddenly twisted, changing their trajectory and transforming into a school of fish that swarmed around the man.

The shadowy figure's movements froze for a moment, and by the time it reacted, it was already surrounded by throwing knives!

Its body twisted like a black line, dodging wildly among the flying knives.

But because of this, it instantly entered Xu Feng's attack range!

For a martial artist of Xu Feng's caliber, this distance is sufficient!

"Gotcha!"

Xu Feng's eyes gleamed, and he took a sudden step, grabbing the battle sword that was flying in mid-air.

It then transformed into a golden lightning bolt that tore through the rainy night, piercing straight at the figure that became clear in an instant!
This strike was swift, accurate, and ruthless!
A flying star severes the moon, a swift wind cuts through the air!

A genuine look of surprise finally flashed in the shadowy figure's eyes, and he hastily held the short dagger across his chest.

"clang--!!!"

A deafening roar drowned out the thunder!

A terrifying energy surge erupted at the center of the collision between the sword and the short dagger.

It instantly evaporated and cleared away the surrounding rainwater!

The short dagger in the shadowy figure's hand let out a mournful cry of despair as it was cleaved in two by the Xuanjin Blade!

The flying knife slammed into the assassin's body.

Although their combat suit could protect them from a few blows, the areas it couldn't stop suddenly splattered with blood!

"Puff puff!"

The assassin's body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing through the wall of a building on the street and disappearing into the smoke and rain.

Xu Feng suddenly approached, only to find that the other party had already disappeared.

"You run fast!"

He did not pursue, but the other party was seriously injured.

But they may still have a way to escape; don't pursue a desperate enemy.

Anyone who dares to assassinate him in the city won't escape!
The commotion quickly alerted the guards at the command post.

Several figures quickly arrived, but dispersed rapidly after learning what had happened.

Immediately, martial law was declared throughout the city.

"The Heart-Slaying Cult?"

Xu Feng silently pondered the other person's origins in the rain.

crackling——

He suddenly looked up.

That's when I discovered it.

The rain is getting heavier.

"Squeak-"

"Choo Choo Choo!"

time flies.

March passed in the blink of an eye.

Winter has faded and spring is here.

For three months after the assassination attempt, Xu Feng stayed home and devoted himself to rigorous training.

"panel."

Name: Xu Feng

[Qi and Blood Value: 45008c]

【Age: 42】

Skill: Three Pure Ones Boundless Dharma [Advanced Version] - Proficient (360/400)

Flying Star Moon-Severing Blade - Master (300/1600)

Star Shifting Master (1170/1600)

Fish Tide Formation - Grandmaster (1355/3200)

The cultivation progress is steady, and the various secret techniques are growing rapidly.

At the same time, his vital energy is also steadily increasing.

Logically speaking, at this level, the effects of medicines and spiritual fruits on increasing qi and blood strength are already very weak.

Ordinary war gods will enter a period of stagnation, and their strength will grow more slowly.

But Hsu Feng was not like that.

In just three months, his Qi and Blood value increased by about 2,500 points.

At the same time, his divine fire also surged to the size of one and a half months ago.

It is approximately 1.5 times.

Apart from the spiritual fruits and medicines that I usually take.

The most important factor is the "inner world" within him, which is still in a state of chaos.

After consuming the Azure Spirit Fruit, he created an inner world.

However, all along, this world has only been a chaotic mass within the dantian.

Xu Feng didn't discover any other function besides rapidly restoring physical strength and mental power. But after these days of training, he finally realized that the inner world truly did, as the Tree Clan had said, provide a comprehensive boost to martial artists.

It is still in its early stages, but when the chaos begins to dissipate and the primordial order is established, perhaps even more surprises will emerge.

During that time, he also visited Senior Yin once.

Besides exchanging food for a spiritual plant that could be used to temper divine fire, he also inquired about Blood Butcher.

really.

Senior Yin was well aware of this and stated bluntly that Blood Butcher was actually an ancient giant crocodile.

No wonder Hsu Feng found it strange when he saw the second eyelid, which looked like a thin white membrane under the other eyelid.

However, although he knew the true form of Blood Butcher, Senior Yin did not know his origins.

However, Senior Yin stated that the "Blood Butcher's" strength was no less than his own.

There is even a legend about a secret treasure trove.

However, no one knows the location of this treasure trove.

However, in ancient times, every five hundred years, a batch of Blood Slaughter Orders would appear in the world.

With this token in hand, one can enter the treasure vault when the opportunity arises. After overcoming the perilous obstacles set up by Blood Butcher, one will have the chance to take away a treasure.

If you fail to pass the test, all your belongings will be left in the treasure vault.

Upon hearing this, Xu Feng was disappointed for a moment, but he quickly cheered up.

In any case, at least we now know the purpose of this blood-red token.

At the same time, even if you don't need this opportunity yourself, you can sell it later or keep it as a family heirloom.

I just don't know how long it will be before the treasure vault opens.

If it's been several hundred years, then he probably has no chance.

I've never heard of a war god-level expert living for five hundred years.

Two hundred years is already quite old.

It hasn't even been two hundred years since the sinkhole appeared, so there's no accurate estimate of the lifespan of a War God warrior.

After the matter of the token was settled, Xu Feng focused on cultivating at home.

"call--"

Three months of being completely isolated from the world gave Xu Feng a feeling of being cut off from everything.

Fortunately, he was not completely isolated.

In the courtyard, I watched Kongkong and Akun arguing over their textbooks.

Meanwhile, Xiao Dan sat to the side, legs crossed, playing on her tablet.

Xu Feng was furious.

"Come here! Let me see your recent cultivation progress!"

He got up and went into the courtyard, calling out to Xiao Dan.

"Huh?" Xiao Dan immediately put down her tablet and looked at Xu Feng with a reluctant expression. "Dad, I finally get a weekend off, can you let me rest a bit?"

"Speed!" Xu Feng waved, ignoring everything else.

"Alright." Xiao Dan had no choice but to jump up, go into the yard, and get into a fighting stance.

Now a junior high school student, she has begun to learn various fighting techniques.

From hand-to-hand combat to simple weapon techniques.

In terms of martial arts training, the various military bases in the dimensional world have considerable experience.

The teachers are all retired front-line martial arts practitioners.

Therefore, compared to the flowers in greenhouses on Earth, children like Xiao Dan seem much fiercer.

As soon as she stood still, Xiao Dan raised her hand and threw out a knife, then rushed towards Xu Feng and punched him in the face.

Xiao Dan's attacks were fierce, carrying the unique vigor of a young person.

The flying knife was a feint, but the fist's force struck straight at his face; the movements were fluid and seamless.

If they were facing their peers, they would probably have already gained a significant advantage.

However, her opponent was Hsu Feng.

A hint of approval flashed in Xu Feng's eyes, but his feet remained as still as a rock. He merely tilted his head slightly, letting the sharp wind of the punch whiz past his ear.

Seeing Xu Feng dodge, she stepped forward and threw a straight punch, followed by a front kick.

However, faced with Xiao Dan's continuous attacks, Xu Feng simply extended his right hand like lightning.

With his index and middle fingers together, he precisely placed his finger on the wrist pulse point that Xiao Dan was attacking.

"Ouch!"

Xiao Dan felt a numbness in her arm, and the strength she had gathered instantly dissipated, bringing her attack to an abrupt halt.

"The feints are acceptable, but the force is too rigid and lacks variation."

When facing a stronger opponent, if you miss your first strike, you should immediately retreat rather than engage in a direct confrontation.

Xu Feng withdrew his finger and commented, "Come on, pay attention to your footwork and the rhythm of your power."

Xiao Dan pouted, rubbed her numb wrist, and was about to regroup—

"buzzing"

The communicator in Xu Feng's pocket started vibrating violently.

He frowned slightly, gestured for Xiao Dan to pause, and walked aside to answer the call.

"Brother Xu!"

Gu Cheng's voice came through, losing its usual composure and carrying a hint of suppressed urgency and gravity.

"Where are you? Come to command post immediately! High-level meeting!"

Xu Feng's heart sank: "What happened?"

"The first thing is, Li Wen... has been assassinated!"

Gu Cheng speaks extremely fast.

This immediately made Xu Feng raise an eyebrow.

"Just half an hour ago, outside his own apartment!"

"Is Li Wen alright?" Xu Feng wasn't worried.

"Seriously injured! The opponent is extremely ruthless, and they deployed four high-level war gods skilled in assassination!"

Xu Feng's pupils suddenly contracted.

"This is the fourth assassination attempt on the God of War in the past three months."

Moreover, their targets were all the talented martial artists stationed in Zone C.

“There’s something even worse, a second thing.”

Gu Cheng's voice carried a chilling coldness.

"We just received an urgent report that ten days ago, the reconstruction project of the fifth largest base in the Beiyang District was completely destroyed by the beast tide on the same day that the initial defensive fortifications were completed and some personnel and supplies were being moved in!"

The beast tide was far larger than expected, and its behavior was abnormal.

Unlike before, their raids were not aimless; they were more like an organized and premeditated sweep.

After destroying the base, the main force of the beast tide did not stop, but instead headed east at an extremely fast pace!

Five days ago, the fourth base on the Kori Plateau in the Shiva region was destroyed, and three war gods perished in battle.

Gu Cheng's voice was very low.

"Based on their initial trajectory, this beast tide is heading towards our Area C. We have determined it to be a Level 3 war alert!"

Xu Feng stood in the courtyard, but the warmth blowing from inside the house could not dispel the chill that suddenly enveloped him.

He looked up towards the west.

The gaze seemed to pierce through layers of buildings, as if it could see the terrifying torrent of smoke and dust, carrying an aura of destruction.

Assassinations occurred frequently, and internal instability was rampant.

The beast tide advanced eastward, and the army besieged the city.

The brief peace has come to an end.

Storm is coming.

This time, it's no longer a sneak attack from the streets and alleys.

It is a war storm powerful enough to destroy everything!

The terrifying memories of the past flooded his mind, but were blasted away by a powerful surge of energy.

Xu Feng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice into the communicator, "I understand. I'll be at the command post right away."

Hang up communication.

He turned to look at his daughter, his face regaining its composure, and ruffled Xiao Dan's hair: "Keep practicing on your own. Dad has to go out. Take good care of Kong Kong. Don't go out without my permission."

Xiao Dan seemed to sense his change in mood and nodded obediently: "Dad, be careful."

Xu Feng nodded and then instructed Ah Kun and Ah She, "Keep an eye on the house."

next moment.

With a flash, he dashed out of the courtyard like a gust of wind and sped toward the command post.

In the blink of an eye, all the warmth on his face vanished.

Instead, it was replaced by an icy, iron-like resolve and a murderous aura.

The situation didn't deteriorate overnight.

These events happened almost simultaneously, which is no coincidence!
It was as if an invisible net was tightening.

Is it aimed at the Great Xia?
In the courtyard.

Kongkong and Akun were still bickering over questions in their textbooks.

Xiao Dan stood at the door, watching Xu Feng leave, a hint of worry gradually rising on her face.

She turned and ran into the house, picked up her tactical watch, and called Lu Fei.

"Mom! Something seems to have happened!"

"Boom boom boom——"

"Enter!"

Xu Feng was slightly taken aback as soon as he entered the conference room.

He was actually the last one to arrive.

“We were having a meeting next door, and we came together when we received the call to come.”

Yue Linfei stood up, greeted Xu Feng, and made room for him.

It was clearly something that had been prepared for Xu Feng long ago.

Xu Feng smiled, glanced around, nodded slightly in greeting, and then sat down.

Upon closer inspection, it was clear that almost all the department leaders were present.

In addition, most of the War Gods stationed at Base Nine have also arrived.

The conference room even had several branch owners of martial arts schools and managers from several major auction houses.

Upon seeing Xu Feng enter, everyone greeted him with clasped hands.

Hsu Feng returned the greetings one by one.

The commotion caused by Xu Feng quickly subsided.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was so heavy it was almost palpable.

General Zhang Huan, who was presiding over the meeting, tapped the table. His voice was steady but carried an unquestionable authority: "Everyone is basically here. Let's not waste time with small talk. The situation is urgent, so let's get straight to the point."

"First, internal assassination."

He pointed his finger, and several glaring red dots lit up in area C on the map.

"In the past three months, including the recent assassination of Li Wen, there have been four highly targeted and professionally executed assassination attempts in our district."

The target group is clearly defined: young and middle-aged key personnel under the age of forty with potential and a proven track record of service.

Photos and data analysis of the assassination scene involving Li Wen and others flashed on the screen.

A photo of Hsu Feng also flashed by.

"Based on the overall operational style, the remaining traces, and the characteristics of the other side—not wanting to fight, retreating after a single blow, and even willing to destroy themselves."

It can be basically concluded that this was the work of 'decaying tissue'.

Zhang Huan's tone was icy.

"They are an internationally renowned assassin mercenary organization."

The mastermind behind it had more than just the purpose of creating panic.

They want to systematically destroy our district's future and shake our very foundations!

"Second, external threats."

A huge holographic projection sand table occupied the central area of ​​the table.

The path of that devastating beast tide was clearly marked above—

A shocking red arrow, like a festering wound, spreads from the destroyed Beiyang District Fifth Base, traversing Shiva District and resolutely pointing towards the heart of District C.

Zhang Huan's finger traced towards the western part of the map.

"A level 3 beast tide has a behavior pattern that far exceeds that of an ordinary beast tide; it is more like an army."

This word sent a chill down everyone's spine.

A Level 3 war alert means that more than two-thirds of the region's military forces need to be mobilized.

There is also the risk that the base city could be breached!
Zhang Huan looked to his left: "Intelligence officer, synchronize the intelligence."

An intelligence officer with the rank of senior colonel immediately stood up and spoke quickly and clearly: "Yes! The main force of the beast tide has been confirmed to have crossed the canyon on the east side of the Corey Plateau."

The Vanguard consists of at least three types of mutated creatures known for their speed and destructive power.

The number is estimated to be over five thousand, followed by a large number of tough, strong mutant creatures.

The total number is initially estimated to be over 50,000!

In addition, we detected abnormal fluctuations over the beast tide, and suspect that there are flying lord-level mutated creatures or intelligent individuals directing and coordinating it.

Meanwhile, the number of flying creatures is estimated to be around 30,000.

"So, that makes a total of 80,000?!"

A suppressed gasp rippled through the conference room.

"And their speed?"

"A general in charge of the fortifications asked in a deep voice."

"Extremely fast! At the current speed, the vanguard will reach our western outer perimeter defense line of Area C—outposts 1, 4, 9, and 12—within forty-eight hours at the latest!"

Forty-eight hours?!

Everyone's heart tightened instantly.

Xu Feng took a deep breath and felt a slight numbness in his hands.

I don't know if it's fear or excitement.

But he knew it clearly.

War has come.

This is the eternal and unchanging main theme of the dimensional world!
