SWNOVELXO Chapter 74 Great Demon King (7K+)
Li Fei infiltrated the subconscious of a martial master who was at the Qi Change Stage.
With the strength of his Void Thought and the aid of the Dream Command, he could explore silently without deliberately disturbing the other party.
Then, he saw a series of nauseating scenes:
Theft, deception, rape, murder, imprisonment...
This was the life of a villain.
The man was spotted in the prison and embarked on the path of martial arts. As his cultivation grew higher, he accomplished many 'merits' and finally became an official member of the 'Twelve Owls.'
This time, the main force of the 'Twelve Owls' had all come out to take on a big job in Ming Province.
But after waiting a long time without the chance to make a move, and with the client considering canceling the mission, there was suddenly a change.
Thus, there was the action tonight.
The last scene Li Fei saw was a village butchered, the ground laid with corpses ripped open, including old people, women, and children...
Back in the room, Li Fei opened his eyes, his uncontrollable rage surging forth!
He abruptly stood up and walked out the door:
"Someone!"
Moments later, all the cabinet officials he brought with him had gathered in the courtyard.
"Did you say, sir, that there is a band of assassins nearby preparing to assassinate us?"
Lv Wenxing asked in surprise.
Li Fei had been with them the whole time; when did he discover there were assassins?
Did the sir have some other source of intelligence?
Was this why Li Fei dared to take on this mission?
For a moment, Li Fei seemed even more unfathomable to everyone.
"Are the enemies the Twelve Owls? Have you heard of this assassination team?"
Li Fei asked.
Hearing the name 'Twelve Owls,' many people's faces changed.
"Sir, the core members of this team are twelve individuals who are either at the Tao Foundation Stage or Possession Stage. They have killed not just one Peak Tao Foundation Stage master, but also one who ranked sixth on the Fengyun Leaderboard, very troublesome!"
Lv Wenxing said gravely.
Above the seventh grade is the Peak of Tao Foundation Stage, but even at the same peak level, there can be a huge gap.
That's why some people make it onto the Fengyun Leaderboard, while others can't even make the shortlist.
The 'Twelve Owls' had once killed a master who made it onto the official Fengyun Leaderboard, ranked even higher than the current 'Green-faced Ghost'!
This indicated the strength of their team.
"We must fight this battle, otherwise if they suddenly appear and attack when we're trying to stop the Daluo Sect True Masters, we'll be in great danger,"
Li Fei said.
Everyone understood the logic, and Lv Wenxing asked, "Sir, do you have a plan?"
"The core members are mine to handle; you all will be responsible for preventing the others from escaping. Discuss the tactics, we'll set out shortly."
Li Fei said succinctly.
Seeing Li Fei's confidence, everyone felt much reassured.
It has to be said, following a superior like Li Fei is truly what every subordinate dreams of:
Leave the trouble to me; let me handle the most dangerous tasks!
...
At a bit past 1 am, the moon was obscured by dark clouds, leaving the fields almost pitch black.
A shadow passed silently through a field.
Without any noticeable action, several assassins hidden in the field, didn't even grunt before they passed out cold.
These assassins were the 'Twelve Owls' outer guards and sentries, but now they seemed to have been suddenly struck by an invisible heavy hammer in the brain, passing out without any resistance, bleeding from every orifice.
The person was none other than Li Fei.
These sentries arranged by the 'Twelve Owls' were very professional with strong concealment skills. Even with an Extraordinary Ability like 'Danger Perception,' it would be difficult to detect them without getting closer.
But using the 'Dream Realm,' the locations of these sentries were crystal clear to Li Fei.
This ability was akin to having a 'map hack,' another clever use of the 'Dream Realm.'
Li Fei attacked these sentries with his own creation, the [Blood Power God].
The attack range of [Blood Power God] reached over three hundred meters, arriving instantly, silently, and more effective than any hidden weapon.
Once merged with his Mind Power, he only needed to consume 10 Blood Souls to unleash [Blood Power], and the [Blood Power God] he fired could overwhelm any ordinary Qi Change Stage martial master!
After dealing with several sentries on his way, Li Fei arrived smoothly at a hillside, below which lay the butchered village.
The core members of the 'Twelve Owls' were inside the village. The corpses and spilled innards had already been disposed of, but the village was still permeated with a pungent stench of blood.
Members of the 'Twelve Owls' were villains with their hands drenched in blood; they had no issue sleeping amongst a pile of dead bodies and naturally didn't mind spending a night in a village that had been slaughtered.
Li Fei lay prone on the ground, taking out two vials of poison he had prepared in advance from his bosom, uncorking them, and placing them on the soil.
The liquid in the vials was highly volatile, evaporating into a colorless and odorless gas.
Li Fei had deliberately chosen an upwind position, and the gas was quickly dispersed by the night wind toward the village below.
He had been studying Poisonology under Mo Yizhou for so long, and had also been researching the modified versions of the Nether Spring Poison by himself, coming up with two types so far.
One was for his own use, providing energy to the Myriad Blood Pearl, having been updated and iterated more than a dozen times.
The other was for use against enemies, and Li Fei pursued an undetectable poison with no color or taste!
Although Li Fei had always been studying poison for his own use, he rarely used it against enemies, carrying only two vials of Nether Spring Poison for that purpose.
