Chapter 331 A Sudden Increase in Strength!! Lei Meng Assassinated!!
On the graph, a brand-new prompt shines brightly.

"The true meaning of fire?!"

Fang Qingyu's molten gold vertical pupils suddenly opened, and it seemed as if crimson magma was flowing in his eyes, reflecting surprise and realization.

The first true meaning he awakened to was the true meaning of the dragon.

After breaking through to the second tier, he directly mastered it because of his status as a Dragon Fist Grandmaster.

Later, in the Arctic, before unlocking the Divine Firmament Envoy, I unlocked the True Meaning of Thunder and upgraded it to level 2.

The effect of the true meaning of fire actually comes from the Crimson Bright Nine Revolutions Jade Scripture.

It had been stuck in the activation process and had not been successfully unlocked.

Fang Qingyu originally thought that he needed to reach the Qi and Blood Transformation Realm or Perfection Realm to unlock it.

I didn't expect that upgrading just two skills would activate it successfully.

It seems that skills like Thunderous World-Burning Slash are...

Upgrading also brings with it the corresponding true meaning.

"Unexpected joy!"

Fang Qingyu's lips curled up, and without pausing, he made another thought.

"Upgrade [True Intent of Thunder] to Lv.3! Consumes 20 skill points!"

"Upgrade [True Intent of Fire] to Lv.3! Consumes 30 skill points!"

boom! boom!
Another 50 skill points burned.

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, both the Thunderous Universe and the Infernal Blaze descended simultaneously!

Fang Qingyu's understanding of thunder shifted from its violent destruction to its profound meaning.

To delve into a higher level of birth and death.

It was as if it had transformed into the purest lightning, traveling thousands of miles in an instant, piercing through the void. With a single thought, thunderclouds would gather, and with a single thought, the lightning would vanish.

Your control is skyrocketing!
The understanding of the true meaning of fire is even more domineering and direct.

That is the extreme heat that scorches the heavens and boils the seas, the undying will that melts all things.
The dragon ball-shaped light spots inside the internal organs seemed to transform into miniature stars.

It releases an endless stream of terrifying heat, washing over and tempering every corner of the body.

The impurities were completely burned off.

Only the purest, unburnt body remains.

At this point, all the core skills on the Dragon Fist Master panel have reached Lv.3 Mastery.

And there are still 342 skill points left.

Fang Qingyu pondered for a moment.

Focus your attention on the most fundamental core.

The "Nine Revolutions of Primordial Chaos Visualization Method" and the "Nine Revolutions of Crimson Light Jade Scripture"!
"Upgrade the [Nine Revolutions Primordial Chaos Visualization Technique] to Lv.4! Consumes 40 skill points!"

"Upgrade the [Crimson Bright Nine Revolutions Jade Scripture] to Lv.4! Consumes 40 skill points!"

"Upgrade the [Nine Revolutions Primordial Chaos Visualization Technique] to Lv.5 (max)! Consumes 80 skill points!"

"Upgrade the [Crimson Bright Nine Revolutions Jade Scripture] to Lv.5 (max)! Consumes 80 skill points!"

Rumble—

240 skill points evaporated instantly.

They transformed into two primordial torrents powerful enough to change the world.

The Great Void Nine Revolutions Primordial Contemplation Method - Five Realms Perfected!
Within his sea of ​​consciousness, the visualization of the colossal dragon with its spine reaching to the heavens and the earth suddenly solidified to its extreme.

Each vertebra is like a divine jade carving, flowing with dazzling golden light, and the bone marrow is like mercury syrup, exuding a sacred and immortal aura.

At the top of the spine, the hazy phantom of the "Heavenly Gate" suddenly burst open.

It was as if a pure, ethereal mist was descending from the heavens.

Its base is deeply rooted in the earth's spiritual veins, with the abundant essence of the earth surging upwards.

The power of heaven and earth flows perfectly through this pillar, allowing the energy of the five elements in the internal organs to circulate continuously.

The acupoints throughout the body lit up like stars, and the dragon and tiger shapes within the dantian roared and surged, condensed to the extreme.

A powerful force, seemingly capable of bearing the weight of heaven and earth, naturally flowed through his limbs and bones.

Every gesture and movement is accompanied by an invisible, powerful force.

It is itself the most stable support in the world.

The Crimson Bright Nine Revolutions Jade Scripture - Fourth Revolution Completed!
The internal organs have been completely perfected in the furnace of viscera.

The internal organs were no longer flesh and blood, but transformed into five roaring, rotating divine furnaces.

The transformation brought about by the perfect fulfillment of the two fundamental laws is a complete metamorphosis.

Fang Qingyu's aura surged wildly, his bones and muscles roared like dragons and tigers, his blood and qi surged like a river bursting its banks, and the dark golden halo flowing under his skin became more profound and restrained, yet contained a terrifying power capable of tearing mountains apart.

Between the opening and closing of the molten gold vertical pupils.

It was as if thunder was born and destroyed, flames were leaping, and the might of a dragon was overwhelming!
At this moment, Fang Qingyu relied solely on the power of a Dragon Fist Grandmaster.

His combat strength has already firmly stepped into the threshold of the third tier, enough to withstand an ordinary third-tier Martial Saint!
There are 102 skill points remaining.

This time, Fang Qingyu did not look at the page about the Dragon Fist Grandmaster.

And flip backwards.

My gaze shifted to the page about the Border Patrolmen.

【Occupation: Border Patrol Lv.1 (0/1000)】

【Ultimate Skill: Divine Judgment and Heavenly Pull Lv.2 (0/2000)】

【Core Skill 1: Eternal Night Territory Lv.1 (0/1000)】

【Core Skill 2: Eternal Night Blazing Armor - Shadow Candle Lv.2 (0/2000)】

【Core Skill 3: Night Warp Lv.1 (0/1000)】

【Core Skill 4: Eternal Night Rift Lv.1 (0/1000)】

[Core Skill 5: Eternal Calamity Annihilation Lv.1 (0/1000)]

Since the awakening of the Divine Firmament Envoy.

Fang Qingyu has somewhat neglected the profession of border patroller.

However, Fang Qingyu used all the skills of this profession quite often, such as the Eternal Night Territory.

These are all stealth skills that are most frequently used in daily life.

Now, the remaining 102 skill points can be used to upgrade the skills of this class, which can maximize the improvement.

Because now, there's not much room left to upgrade the skills of a Martial Arts Master.

On the contrary, these skills of the border patrollers.

Most of them are only level 1, and it only takes 10 skill points to level up.

"It's time to strengthen the team," Fang Qingyu thought to himself.

"Upgrade [Eternal Night Territory] to Lv.2! Consumes 10 skill points!"

"Upgrade [Eternal Night Warp] to Lv.2! Consumes 10 skill points!"

"Upgrade [Eternal Night Rift] to Lv.2! Consumes 10 skill points!"

"Upgrade [Eternal Annihilation] to Lv.2! Consumes 10 skill points!"

hum!
With 40 skill points invested, four profound insights about darkness, space, and light flooded into my mind.

The control over the power of eternal night has become more precise.

62 points left!
"Upgrade [Divine Judgment] to Lv.3! Consumes 20 skill points!"

"Upgrade [Eternal Night Territory] to Lv.3! Consumes 20 skill points!"

"Upgrade [Eternal Night Blazing Armor - Shadow Candle] to Lv.3! Consumes 20 skill points!"

boom!
The last 62 points were instantly reset to zero.

Divine judgment and divine guidance.

This ultimate technique, which locks, pulls, and delivers final judgment, has had its locking range, pulling force, and judgment power greatly enhanced.

A deeper understanding of spatial constraints.

It's like leaving an indelible, eternal mark on the enemy.

The territory of the Eternal Night has expanded several times over, making it even more effective for covert operations.

The ability to control the shadows within the domain has reached a new level.

It can even briefly distort light to create more realistic illusions, making it the absolute master of the shadows.

The Eternal Night Blaze Armor is a more solid and resilient close-fitting battle armor constructed from pure Eternal Night power.

Defense power surges, and shadow affinity reaches its peak, significantly weakening energy attacks.

Furthermore, it can convert a portion of the attack energy into its own Eternal Night Power for storage.

The flowing shadows seemed alive.

While defending itself, it is constantly absorbing and transforming the energy around it.

At this point, all skill points have been used up!
In the quiet room, Fang Qingyu slowly got up.

There was no earth-shattering burst of power; all the strength was contained to the extreme.

Beneath the skin, dark golden blood and qi flowed slowly like magma.

Occasionally, tiny arcs of electricity and leaping sparks would flash by.

His eyes opened and closed, and deep within his golden pupils, a dragon's shadow coiled, lightning flashed and flames rose.

There is also a profound sense of eternal night overlooking all realms.

With his perfected Qi and blood and visualization skills as a Dragon Fist Grandmaster, he has already firmly established himself at the threshold of the third level.

If we combine this with the abilities of the Border Patrol
Fang Qingyu even felt that an ordinary early-stage third-order cultivator would probably have no chance of escaping in front of him.

"Time to go to work."

Feel the surging power within my body.

Fang Qingyu glanced at the time displayed in the corner of the quiet room.

now.

Night has fallen.

Tobacco Processing Plant.

The massive fortress continued to rumble under the cover of night.

Fang Qingyu appeared at the side door, and the security team leader who had been waiting there immediately greeted him respectfully, his eyes filled with heartfelt awe.

"Sir, you are here."

"Hmm." Fang Qingyu nodded slightly, his voice calm and even. "How was the fluctuation tonight?"

"Previously, two locations were detected, with intensities approaching level three. These were located at the intersection of the A3 extraction zone and the C7 sealing pipeline, and also..."

"understood."

Fang Qingyu interrupted him, his figure blurred, and he transformed into a phantom that was difficult to see with the naked eye, instantly disappearing into the vast and complex steel jungle deep within the factory area.

The speed was so fast that the squad leader couldn't finish his sentence.

The following night was an exceptionally peaceful one for the factory's security team.

On the monitoring screen, the red dot representing the fluctuations of fate had just lit up.

It will then disappear suddenly, as if it were being extinguished by a giant hand.

There wasn't even time for the alarm to be fully sounded.

Fang Qingyu's figure moved like the most precise and efficient cleaner, shuttling through the huge factory area.

Often, in just one glance, those powerful life-destiny ghosts that have just arrived or are about to take shape are reduced to ashes.

Deep inside the factory area.

The veteran team members, who had witnessed Fang Qingyu's inhuman combat prowess, were already numb to it.

They simply kept a silent record of the types and numbers of the ghosts whose fates were eliminated.

And the new team members.

They stared in disbelief at the ghostly figure that appeared and disappeared on the monitor screen.

And with that red dot that vanished in an instant, only one thought remained in my mind.

Is this really a human being?

……

Two days later.

The headquarters of the Green Dragon Gang in the limestone district.

Former Blood Wolf Gang headquarters.

The office on the top floor, which belonged to the gang leader Lei Meng, was brightly lit.

The air was thick with the smell of tobacco, sweat, and paper ink.

On a huge solid wood desk.

The desktop was piled high with documents, maps, ledgers, and personnel lists.

Lei Meng's massive body was slumped in the wide leather seat, his brows furrowed, his thick fingers gripping a report marked with increased friction at the Ironflow Gate's boundary, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force.

His eyes were sunken and bloodshot with obvious signs of fatigue.

But burning in those large, copper-bell-shaped eyes was a flame more intense than ever before.

Since annexing the Blood Wolf Gang and establishing this base, Lei Meng has completely bid farewell to his leisurely days of living a life of licking blood on the edge of a knife but also of enjoying the pleasures of revenge.

Expanding territory brings more than just resources and prestige.

There are countless trivial matters, calculations, and pressures.

Gang conflicts, territory division, profit distribution, personnel deployment, and logistical support.
Every single matter required his approval as the gang leader.

Tired?

Of course I’m tired!
Sleeping only three or four hours a day is the norm; the workload is heavy and exhausting.

Regret?
Lei took a deep drag on the nearly burnt-out cigar between his fingers.

Thick smoke billowed out, swirling around his resolute face.

He glanced at the framed photograph on the corner of the table. It was from the day they took down the Blood Wolf Gang's headquarters.

He and his core brothers, including Su Yu, Jiang Wei, Lao Chu, Liu San, and Lao Lu, posed for a spirited group photo at the entrance of the Blood Wolf Gang.

Looking at the genuine smiles on the faces of my brothers in the photo.

Looking at the office that symbolized power and status, Lei Meng grinned and smiled silently, his tired eyes filled with pure satisfaction and drive.

Worth it! It's fucking worth it!

He is Lei Meng, a warrior who struggled his way up from the bottom of an unjust city.

Being able to live a good life for his brothers and have the Green Dragon Gang's banner fly high in the Gray Rock District—that's the greatest meaning he's found in his life.

No matter how hard or tiring it was, he did it with relish.

He stubbed out his cigarette, rubbed his throbbing temples, took a deep breath, and turned his gaze back to the annoying report. He picked up his pen, ready to make annotations.

The office fell silent, save for the scratching of pens on paper and the faint, indistinct noise from outside the window, a noise unique to the night in the limestone district.

at this time--

Sizzle!

A very faint, almost completely muffled noise came out of nowhere from the closed French window next to Lei Meng.

In that instant, every hair on Lei Meng's body stood on end as if he had encountered extreme cold.

A chilling, bone-chilling killing intent, like an invisible steel needle, pierced deeply into the back of his head.

A third-tier Martial Saint screams wildly at the intuition of danger.

The shadow of death loomed over them instantly.

"not good!"

Lei Meng's pupils suddenly shrank to pinpoints, and his heart felt as if it were being gripped by a cold, large hand.

He didn't have time to think; it was purely a matter of bodily instinct.

He kicked off the chair with both legs, and the heavy leather executive chair, along with his burly body, was sent flying backward like a cannonball.

At the same time, the body's protective qi and blood act like a hedgehog that has been stimulated.

It burns to its maximum intensity in an instant.

A layer of solidified dark red armor forms on the body surface.

However, it's too close!
The timing and location chosen by the attackers were extremely malicious.

Just as his mind began to relax for the slightest moment due to fatigue and focused attention on reviewing documents.

It was just outside the window, less than three meters behind him.

Pfft——!
A dark, cold light, condensed to its extreme and almost without any outward fluctuation, like the fangs of a venomous snake, ignored the expensive bulletproof glass that was strong enough to withstand heavy machine gun fire.

The glass rippled like water.

Before even a shattering sound could be heard, the cold light had already pierced through, striking with perfect accuracy the vital spot on Lei Meng's left chest exposed by his backward violent retreat.

It's almost reached the limit of visual capture.

Lei Meng tried his best to dodge and defend, but he was still a beat too slow in the face of this long-planned killing blow.

Tsk-!
Like a red-hot iron piercing leather.

Lei Meng's condensed dark red qi armor only blocked the dark, cold light for less than a tenth of a second before it was mercilessly pierced through.

A cold, sharp sensation instantly invaded my body.

"Ugh—!"

Lei Meng let out a muffled groan of pain and rage! A sharp pain instantly swept through his entire body from his left chest.

He could clearly feel the cold metal tearing through his muscles, the terrifying sensation of it piercing through his lungs, and scalding blood gushing out like a fountain from the two huge wounds in front and behind him.

Blood instantly stained the front of his shirt.

It was as if ink had been splashed on his face, completely soaking and staining the report in his hand red.

Excruciating pain, icy cold, and a feeling of suffocation.
The shadow of death has never been so clear!
But who is Lei Meng?!

He was a third-tier martial saint who crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

He is the flag-bearer of the Green Dragon Gang.

The ferocity and violence in his bones were completely ignited in the face of imminent death.

"Stay here, you bastard!!!"

Just as his body was about to fall backward from the severe injury, Lei Meng's bloodshot eyes shot out a terrifyingly fierce light.

He completely disregarded the potentially fatal penetrating wound in his chest.

He frantically poured all his remaining strength into his right fist.

boom--! ! !
A fist with bulging muscles, like a giant hammer.

With boundless ferocity, it slammed into the empty air in front of him.

The air was compressed to its limit, emitting a burst of sound as it was overwhelmed.

A violent fist burst forth.

It transformed into a condensed pillar of blood-red light.

Boom! ! !

The sturdy wall, along with the expensive bulletproof floor-to-ceiling window, was utterly shattered like paper by this vicious blow.

Bricks, glass shards, and violent energy blasted outwards like cannonballs, leaving countless deep craters on the walls of the corridor outside the office.

The entire rooftop seemed to shake violently.

However, at the same time that this earth-shattering roar and the billowing smoke began...

A ghostly figure, seemingly blending into the shadows, flashed past the broken window, as fast as an illusion.

The other party was clearly well-versed in the ways of an assassin.

Once a strike is successful, regardless of the outcome, the attacker will not linger and will immediately flee.

Lei Meng's counterattack, fueled by the last of his life force, was ultimately half a second too slow and struck empty air.

"Ho...ho..."

Lei Meng's burly body swayed, and the fierce light in his eyes quickly dimmed.

The immense power dissipated rapidly along with the gushing blood.

He glanced down at the horrific, translucent wound on his chest.

He glanced again at the report in his hand, which was completely stained with blood and the handwriting was blurred, and a bitter and ferocious smile appeared on his lips.

boom!
He could no longer hold on, and like a mountain of gold and a jade pillar collapsing, he fell heavily backward onto the floor.

Thick, hot blood quickly spread beneath him.

It formed a shocking pool of blood.

"help!!"

"Brother Meng!!!"

The guards outside the office were alerted by the deafening explosion and the sound of the walls shattering.

He burst through the door immediately.

When they saw the huge hole in the wall and Lei Meng lying in a pool of blood, barely breathing, all the color drained from their faces.

Terrified screams ripped through the night sky above the Green Dragon Gang headquarters.

"Quick! Call a doctor!!"

"Seal off headquarters! All entrances and exits! Not even a fly is allowed to get out!"

"Notify everyone! Quickly!!!"

……

at the same time.

The Grey Rock District is a villa area where the core members of the Green Dragon Gang reside.

On the spacious lawn in the front yard.

The atmosphere was both tense and passionate.

Qi Hao, Haozi, Lao Lü, and Lao Qin, shirtless and drenched in sweat, were undergoing inhumane stress training under Jiang Wei's icy gaze.

The four of them worked together.

Only then could he barely withstand the scorching energy that Jiang Wei casually unleashed, which was suppressed to the peak of the first rank.

Every block and dodge was accompanied by excruciating muscle pain and the burnt smell of burning skin.

"Too slow! Your qi and blood circulation is sluggish! All four of you combined are not even as good as a second-tier life ghost!"

Jiang Wei learned these words from Lao Qin.

This time, he used it on himself.

The independent training ground behind the villa presents a completely different scene.

Chu Kuanglan and the others were also training on their own.

Everyone is striving to become stronger.

I aspire to become a top fighter in the future gang, since being at the second tier isn't quite enough for me right now.

Sudden.

The wrought iron gate in front of the villa leading to the street was suddenly kicked open.

A second-tier brother belonging to the Dawn Organization, responsible for liaison between headquarters and the villa area, rushed in like a whirlwind, his face ashen and breathing rapidly. He didn't even have time to bow to Jiang Wei, who was supervising the training, before he roared at the backyard with all his might, his voice distorted by extreme panic:

"Something's happened! Meng Ge... Meng Ge has been attacked! He's been shot in the chest! He's in the headquarters office! He's dying!!!"

boom--!
The roar was like a thunderclap, instantly shattering the tranquility of the villa area.

In the front yard, Qi Hao and the other three, who were resisting Jiang Wei's energy, suddenly froze, their faces drained of color, and their eyes filled with disbelief and horror.

In the backyard, Chu Kuanglan's violent swordplay came to an abrupt halt.

The heavy iron sword slammed to the ground with a clang.

He rushed to the front yard, staring intently at the person who had brought the news. His large, round eyes instantly filled with terrifying bloodshot veins, and an extremely violent and ferocious aura surged into the sky: "What did you say?! Who the hell did this?!"

Wei Banmeng and his companions followed closely behind.

Lei Meng is the leader of the Green Dragon Gang and one of the best candidates to cover up Fang Qingyu and his group's whereabouts.

Now, if Lei Meng gets into trouble...
It would be very abrupt to arrange someone else later.

That's why everyone reacted so strongly.

Moreover, if Lei Meng were to die like this...
In fact, they indirectly caused his death.

Although it's a city of injustice, such things are actually a kind of destiny, and everyone takes them lightly.

But Lao Chu and his group were different.

Including, getting along with Lei Meng.

Everyone knows that Lei Meng is not the kind of person who commits all kinds of evil deeds.

Otherwise, Fang Qingyu would have had someone else replace him long ago.

"Iron Stream Sect! It must be those damned bastards from the Iron Stream Sect! I'll tear them apart alive!!"

Chu Kuanglan's eyes widened in fury, and he instantly identified the murderer.

The violent blood and qi overflowed uncontrollably, causing cracks to appear in the ground beneath their feet.

He roared and tried to rush out.

"Old Chu!" Wei Banmeng's cold voice rang out with an undeniable urgency, instantly overshadowing Chu Kuanglan's fury.

"Calm down! This is not the time to act rashly!" She made a quick decision: "You go to headquarters immediately! Stabilize the situation, calm the men down below, and prevent anyone from causing trouble in the chaos! The rest of you, come with me to the hospital!"

Chu Kuanglan's furious rage was momentarily halted by Wei Banmeng's shout. He stomped his foot hard, creating a deep crater in the ground: "Damn it! I got it! Leave headquarters to me!"

Before he finished speaking, his massive body, like a raging rhinoceros, smashed open the courtyard gate and charged toward the Green Dragon Gang headquarters, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Go!" Wei Banmeng didn't delay any longer. Her figure transformed into a cold streak of light, rushing towards the best extraordinary hospital in the Gray Rock District.

Lin Yu and Lu Jiuyuan followed closely behind.

Jiang Wei glanced at Qi Hao and the other three, who were still in shock: "You guys continue."

Leave behind four words.

The crimson figure vanished instantly, chasing after Wei Banmeng.

……

city ​​center.

Inside the residence arranged for Fang Qingyu by the Wei Group.

Fang Qingyu had just returned from a night of cleaning work and was wiping non-existent dust off his hands with a towel.

The phone suddenly rang.

It was Wei Banmeng who called, and Fang Qingyu answered the call.

"Qingzi, Lei Meng was assassinated in the headquarters office. He was pierced through the chest by a sharp weapon and is in critical condition. He is currently undergoing emergency treatment. Preliminary assessment indicates that it was the work of a high-level assassin hired by the Iron Stream Sect! The attacker is at least a mid-stage third-tier assassin with extremely strong stealth capabilities, capable of striking and fleeing in an instant!"

Wei Banmeng's voice was fast and urgent, filled with barely suppressed anger.

Fang Qingyu paused slightly as he listened.

His brows furrowed slightly.

But in just a moment, all emotions were forcibly suppressed, leaving only absolute calm.

Fang Qingyu slowly put down the towel, his voice calm and undisturbed:
"I see."

"I will have Yan Lin go over and oversee things; you just need to keep things stable."

"We will do everything in our power to save Lei Meng, no matter the cost."

Then he paused and said softly:

"check."

"Find the murderer as quickly as possible."

"Tell me after you dig it out."

"I'll take care of it."
