Chapter 470: Chapter 173: Annihilating Feige Building (4)

The master of Feige Building knew Ma San was dead. The man standing before him now was Shen Bai, the Prefecture Chief of Nanxing Prefecture.

The moment the master spoke, the surrounding members of Feige Building raised their weapons and charged at Shen Bai.

The master, however, retreated with haste.

’Fight?’

’Fighting is out of the question.’

’The smart move is to run.’

’He’d let this mob of Feige Building members hold Shen Bai off while he escaped through a secret passage.’

Shen Bai looked at the surrounding Feige Building members and swung Cold Moon.

"Who gave you this confidence?"

Blood-red Sword Qi reverberated, multiplying into a myriad of strands that swept forward.

Countless heads slid off the shoulders of the Feige Building members.

In less than a breath, only a floor littered with corpses remained.

By then, the master had only managed to flee a few dozen meters.

A mortal crisis seized the master’s heart.

He let out a furious roar, and the muscles all over his body swelled to more than double their size.

An immense force struck him, sending him tumbling across the ground. He came to a stop and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Your Defense Technique is impressive. To think you could block a single strike from my sword."

Shen Bai slowly approached.

The master scrambled to his feet, let out a great roar, and charged. He raised his swollen fist and brought it down like a hammer toward Shen Bai’s head.

’He couldn’t escape. A fight to the death was his only choice.’

"CRACK!"

The sound of shattering bone was heard. The master felt a wave of pain in his arm. He looked up and saw that his left hand was already bent at a grotesque angle.

Shen Bai’s hand was wrapped in golden Buddha’s Light, blazing as brightly as the sun.

’My prized Defense Technique... it’s as fragile as paper in front of him!’

"Impossible. Even someone at the same level would need time to break through my technique." The master’s heart went cold with terror.

He had once relied on this technique to kill many experts of the Void Realm, but now, he felt like a toddler, completely helpless before Shen Bai.

"Middle Stage of Void Transformation, and you dare say impossible?"

Shen Bai grabbed the master’s head, slammed it to the ground, and hammered down a punch.

Every punch was accompanied by a booming sound.

Although the master had his Defense Technique, after just three punches, his head shattered like a watermelon.

"Not bad. Enduring three punches is decent." Shen Bai stood up, as if he were commenting on a trivial matter.

Looking at the corpse on the ground, he slowly walked toward the nearest exit.

"Feige Building... no longer has a reason to exist."

Shen Bai’s voice echoed within the grotto.

...

「Inside Feige Building’s dark dungeon.」

Fan Kai’s clothes were tattered. He leaned against a moss-covered wall, looking utterly haggard.

Ever since being thrown into Feige Building’s dungeon, he had been locked up here. Someone brought him food every day, but it was always spoiled and cold.

Fan Kai knew his chances of survival were slim.

Once the time came, he would be traded away like an object.

At that point, he feared his cries would fall on deaf ears.

’Brother Dongfang must be looking for a chance to save me,’ Fan Kai thought. ’All I need to do is stay alive.’

His only hope was Dongfang Li. Until then, Fan Kai’s first priority was to stay alive.

He knew very well that if Dongfang Li actually came to rescue him only to find a corpse, it would all be for nothing.

’The dungeon is quiet today. I wonder what those bandits are up to,’ Fan Kai thought, glancing around the pitch-black cell.

Just as he was thinking this, the sound of footsteps quietly arose.

Fan Kai quickly pressed himself tighter against the wall, trying to make himself less conspicuous.

It was all for the sake of survival. Fan Kai didn’t want to be so cowardly, but he had no choice.

The footsteps grew closer. Fan Kai peeked with the corner of his eye and saw a tall, upright figure appear before him.

Fan Kai froze for a moment.

’Those clothes... no one in Feige Building dresses like that.’

’Could the transaction have been moved up?’ Fan Kai wondered.

That was the only possibility that would explain the presence of someone from outside Feige Building.

As Fan Kai was pondering this, the man spoke slowly.

"You are Fan Kai?"

Fan Kai couldn’t pretend not to hear, so he could only nod and reply, "I am."

"I am Prefecture Chief Shen Bai. Come with me. You’re safe now," Shen Bai said.

This Surveyor from Xuanjing City looked so wretched that it was hard to look at him.

Fan Kai was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up with joy. "Really? You’re really the Prefecture Chief?"

The Prefecture Chief... that was the leader of the entire Observatory.

But when Fan Kai looked closer, he felt something was wrong.

This young Prefecture Chief before him seemed to only be at the Meridian Realm.

"This..." Fan Kai was suddenly in a difficult position.

He didn’t doubt Shen Bai’s identity—there was no need to lie to him, a prisoner.

But he suspected that Shen Bai had infiltrated secretly. If Shen Bai tried to take him out, he was afraid they wouldn’t be able to escape.

"Lord Shen, you should leave first. It would be safer to come back with the Observatory’s experts," Fan Kai said.

’There’s no other way,’ he thought. ’If he’s really only at the Meridian Realm, we’ll never escape. This is the only thing I can say.’

Shen Bai gave him a strange look as he shattered the lock on the cell door. "What nonsense. Don’t waste time. Just follow me."

This lock was specially made and was linked to the entire cell, making it incredibly sturdy.

But in Shen Bai’s hands, it was nothing special.

Fan Kai remained stunned. It wasn’t until Shen Bai drew close that he gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Shen, it’s too dangerous here. You’re only at the Meridian Realm. I’m afraid if you try this, you won’t make it out alive. I’m just thinking of your safety."

He tried his best to phrase it in a way that wouldn’t cause offense, using it as an excuse.
