Watching the performance of the elite fighters outside, Ye Fei couldn’t help but shake his head slightly.
Their experience was still too limited. In combat, they relied solely on their superior reflexes and far greater skills to eliminate enemies.
When it came to bullets fired from the shadows, they could only rely on their extraordinarily resilient bodies to withstand the attacks.
If it were the special forces team, although their skills were far inferior to these elite fighters, they would definitely be able to avoid injury.
No one would be able to strike them from the darkness. This was the difference that experience made. And experience was something even Ye Fei could not accelerate. It could only be cultivated through repeated real combat.
Soon, the brazen actions of this group caused significant turmoil in the coastal area.
Many had already discovered this ruthless team, and the authorities were also alerted, deploying numerous police officers. However, Ye Xuan and her team moved too quickly.
The police, known for their slow response, could only follow helplessly behind.
Ye Fei had anticipated this situation before setting out, but he didn’t care. He was well aware that no matter how big this incident became, it would not cause any real unrest.
Even if the media or some overly enthusiastic netizens got wind of it and posted it online, it would surely be quickly suppressed by the higher-ups in Longguo, who were always eager to portray the country as stable and harmonious.
As for whether the higher-ups would eventually target him, Ye Fei was not afraid. After taking control of the coastal area, he had become the undisputed king of the southeast. In ancient times, he would have been a regional warlord.
The higher-ups, who dared not even take on a small country like Japan or an even smaller place like Taiwan, would never dare to move against him without fully understanding his capabilities and without knowing if there were other forces supporting him.
With this buffer period, he would undoubtedly be able to ascend to an even higher level in a very short time.
By then, no one would dare to touch him. In fact, over a month ago, he had already sent people to the most powerful country in the world, the United States, through Baldy. There, with his inexhaustible wealth, he began to support some puppets.
When the time was right, he would... Never mind, I’m giving too much away.
As Ye Fei was lost in thought, the opposing side, which had not yet suffered a crippling blow, began a full-scale retreat.
They gradually moved towards the southeast of the coastal area but did not flee too quickly, allowing Ye Xuan and her team to keep up.
Such a clumsy ploy to lure the enemy could not possibly deceive Ye Xuan. However, she did not stop her pursuit. Instead, she chased them directly. She had already been completely awed by Ye Fei and would follow his instructions without hesitation.
In the email Ye Fei had sent her, he had mentioned this situation. His directive was simple: regardless of whether the enemy had any ulterior motives, they should pursue with full force.
The enemy had expected to exert considerable effort to lure Ye Xuan, but now they were delighted to see her chasing them so readily.
Thinking that Ye Xuan had been blinded by temporary victory, they changed their strategy and fled towards the outskirts of the city as quickly as possible without losing the pursuing vehicles.
The two sides, one chasing and the other fleeing, soon left the city limits and arrived at the southeast coast.
There was an unfinished construction site here, funded by the Japanese leader, who intended to build a large villa complex by the sea.
To deal with Ye Xuan, he had simply chosen this location as the battlefield. He believed that although his construction site might suffer some damage, it would be acceptable as long as the Flying Dragon Gang was completely crushed.
After leaving the city, Ye Fei was surprised to find that the police cars following them had suddenly disappeared. He couldn’t help but feel both amused and frustrated. This was the behavior of Longguo’s officials.
They allowed trouble within their jurisdiction as long as it didn’t escalate (in other words, as long as it didn’t become public).
No matter how much trouble was caused, it would not affect their careers. So, once both sides had left the city and were out of sight of the general public, the officials simply stopped interfering.
While Ye Fei was both helpless and somewhat relieved by this, he was also glad. He did not want to harm innocent civilians.
Although he was dissatisfied with the higher-ups in Longguo, he still had deep feelings for his country.
The construction site had already been shut down during their previous confrontation with the Flying Dragon Gang, so there were no workers around. Both sides could engage in fierce gunfire without any concerns.
The Lingyun Society was no stranger to arms, especially after Ye Fei took over. With his endless financial support, the Lingyun Society’s equipment had become even more sophisticated than that of their opponents.
Before the vehicles had even come to a complete stop, the thirty elite fighters, each armed with a submachine gun, leaped out of the vehicles.
Even those who had been injured earlier moved with the same agility. Although they did not possess Ye Fei’s absurdly strong defense, ordinary bullets could only penetrate their skin’s surface and cause no significant harm.
Ye Fei, however, remained in the vehicle. Although the minibus was not specially reinforced like the one Ye Xuan and her team were in, he was not afraid of bullets.
At this point, not even armor-piercing rounds could harm him.
Sitting in the vehicle, Ye Fei scanned the surroundings with his keen eyes, eventually focusing on the only completed high-rise building in the center.
On the top floor of that building, several people were standing.
One of them, with a rather sly and shifty appearance, was likely their leader. Ye Fei felt a pang of sympathy for Ye Xuan, who had previously been defeated by such a person. But considering the typical appearance of the Japanese, he was somewhat reconciled to it. This guy might even be considered handsome in his own country.
Suddenly, Ye Fei sensed something amiss.
The gunfire from his side had slowed down. He quickly looked towards the battlefield and saw that his thirty elite fighters and the two vehicles had been surrounded by the enemy.
Somehow, a faint black mist had appeared in the area.
The fighters within the mist had visibly slowed down, unable to dodge the enemy’s bullets anymore. Several were injured, and the most severely wounded had already lost their fighting ability, taking cover behind Ye Xuan’s vehicle.
The men who had been standing on the rooftop descended via an external elevator and stopped not far from Ye Fei’s group.
With a rather arrogant laugh, one of them said, "Ye Xuan, I didn’t expect you to have such skilled fighters. But unfortunately, this is still nothing to us. How about it? Can we talk about cooperation now?"
Ye Xuan was stunned. She had always trusted Ye Fei’s arrangements, but she hadn’t expected to fall into the enemy’s trap after all.
She knew that this time, she was probably finished. She understood what the enemy meant by "cooperation"—they wanted her to become their plaything. She had already prepared herself to commit suicide.
Ye Fei, who had not yet left the vehicle, finally discovered the source of the eerie black mist. At eight points around the perimeter of the battlefield, eight oddly dressed figures in black robes had appeared.
They were making gestures, clearly controlling some kind of formation.
Ye Fei realized that he had somewhat underestimated the heroes of the world. If even a small country like Japan had such bizarre abilities, then Longguo, known for its abundance of talented individuals, would naturally have many capable people as well.
They just rarely appeared in the public eye.
However, no matter what, Ye Fei was not afraid of these unconventional tactics.

Knowing that he could no longer stay hidden without jeopardizing the situation, he suddenly leaped up from inside the vehicle, breaking through the roof of the minibus.
He soared over twenty meters into the air before landing with a thunderous crash in the center of the battlefield. He swept his eyes around and let out an earth-shattering roar.
An invisible ripple spread out from him, instantly dispelling all the black mist. The eight black-robed figures standing at a distance suddenly shuddered and collapsed like wet mud.
With his long blade dragging on the ground, Ye Fei spoke in a deep voice to the thirty elite fighters, "nfidence instantly inspired the fighters, who left the battlefield with a look of admiration.
Ye Fei’s dramatic entrance was not just for show. He wanted to create an awe-inspiring image, to let everyone know that the Lingyun Society had an invincible war god.
Of course, the main audience was the Flying Dragon Gang, who would lose their memory after today.
This sudden turn of events stunned everyone. Ye Xuan was filled with immense joy and relief. She had wronged Ye Fei. He was not overly confident; he had been fully prepared all along. Looking at the towering figure before her, she was amazed that someone of such height could exist in the world.
The enemy leader, however, was terrified. He had not expected this gigantic and intimidating figure to appear and neutralize his trump card—the eight Onmyoji—so effortlessly. He didn’t even know if they were alive or dead.
He stammered, "Fire! Fire! Take him down!" As he shouted, he quickly retreated backward.
"Think you can run?" Ye Fei roared. His massive body left a trail of afterimages as he swiftly passed by the leader, and in an instant, the man’s head was separated from his body.
The shock Ye Fei caused this time was even stronger than the last time in the forest. He had almost become a non-human entity.
Although the enemy’s combat strength was not weak, their psychological resilience could not compare to that of seasoned mercenaries. They immediately broke down, scattering in all directions while firing at Ye Fei out of instinct.
Ye Fei completely ignored the bullets hitting him. His enormous body turned into a wisp of smoke as he darted around the unfinished construction site.
Each movement claimed a life, and the deaths were extremely gruesome.
Some had their heads severed by his long blade, while others were split in half.
But to Ye Xuan and her team, it did not feel disgusting. Instead, there was a kind of violent beauty to it.
