Chapter 108: Chapter 108: You Who Fell from Heaven

Translator: 549690339

From within the middle school’s science building, Li Tiannao walked out.

Behind him, Lou Qingfeng, the Xiao brothers, Old Hu, and a few others followed. Wrapped up like dumplings, they began marching toward the Zhao Dong Building.

They weren’t too far from Zhao Dong Building. Last night, the Xiao brothers had secretly scouted the area and reported back to Li Tianhao themselves.

At that time, Lin Zhen had just been trapped in the building for not too long.

As they were walking, Li Tianhao asked Lou Qingfeng, “Mr. Lou, you think Lin

Zhen should be dead by now, right?”

Lou Qingfeng nodded: “In theory, he should be dead. No one can stay overnight in the building. If there was cell signal, I’m sure you would have received a message by now.”

“Heh heh, it seems like heaven is helping me. I didn’t really want to pay that sum either. I reckon that regardless of who killed Lin Zhen, there will undoubtedly be a fierce fight afterwards. I guess not many of these martial artists will be left either.”

Old Hu chimed in, “Definitely, three billion! These people would break their heads to snatch it. Anyone who survives is sure to be badly wounded.”

“Even better! Since there’s no communication, there’s no way to send messages to the outside world. If only one person or a few people are left, we might as well go all out!” Li Tianhao viciously mimic the action of killing someone.

Lou Qingfeng frowned slightly. He didn’t agree with Li Tianhao’s idea, but his mission was to protect Li Tianhao and couldn’t prevent him from doing anything.

The group advanced with difficulty and eventually arrived near Zhao Dong Building.

When they arrived, however, they found a good number of martial artists still gathered here.

A few wandered in pairs, seeking shelter from wind and huddling beneath the building. Without exception, they all looked up at the towering building.

“What are these fools doing? Why are they still gathered here? Where’s Lin Zhen’s body? They better not have reduced his body to ashes. If that’s the case, I’m not paying up.”

Seeing Li Tianhao appear, many martial artists stood up.

“Master Li, are you still honoring your promise?”

“Mr. Li, we all worked together to trap Lin Zhen to death at this rooftop. How are you going to pay us?

“I think our team should get more, we lost two people.”

“Our team only has me left, shouldn’t I get more?”

“I think it should be based on combat capability. Your team is so weak, and one of you even died from falling off the building. If it wasn’t for us Intermediate War Generals, you all would have been wiped out by now. And you still have the nerve to want the money.”

Fights quickly broke out among the martial artists. Eventually, Lang Tianxiao intervened, “I agree that distribution should be based on the level of combat skill. Of course, we should compensate a bit for the dead.”

Yang Lie, Dong Xuefei, and Jiao Zan all nodded, defending the interests of the Advanced War Generals.

While many martial artists were discontent, they dared not voice their dissatisfaction. After all, with these Advanced War Generals around, they were lucky just to get a sip of soup.

Li Tianhao felt the pain in his wallet, but Lin Zhen had finally been dealt with, so his mood was still decent.

Lang Tianxiao, Yang Lie, Dong Xuefei, and Jiao Zan, four Advanced War

Generals, gathered around Li Tianhao, discussing with him about distribution.

Li Tianhao was still somewhat wary: “I haven’t seen Lin Zhen’s body yet.”

“That’s easy to handle. We’ll all go up and carry Lin Zhen’s body down. He’s probably frozen into a corpse by now. Anyway, if you don’t see his body, you won’t have to pay.”

Zhen’s body, he would pay. How to specifically distribute the money, that was now an issue between these martial artists.

Currently, there were more than forty martial artists present. Naturally, Li Tianhao would go up; without seeing Lin Zhen with his own eyes, he would not feel at ease.

If he goes up, his subordinates naturally have to follow.

And Lang Tianxiao and the other three Advanced War Generals wouldn’t stay here either; they were all heading for the rooftop.

In addition to them, several Intermediate War Generals also chose to follow and ascend. The ones left on the ground floor were about twenty-five to twenty-six people, two Intermediate War Generals, the rest were all Junior War Generals.

“Let’s go. We’ll start now. The wind has weakened substantially, as soon as the Mutated Birds return to their nests, we wouldn’t be able to go.”

Even though it was still snowing, without the strong wind, the weather was much warmer. Zhao Dong Building was no longer a living hell. But the wind had just stopped. If they waited longer, the Mutated Birds would indeed return.

Fifteen or sixteen people, including Li Tianhao, got up and began to ascend Zhao Dong Building.

The rest of the people stayed below in pairs, waiting for the masters to return.

Du Yanhu called out to Zhang Huai and Ouyang Yu, “Come on, let’s take a rest here and hope our team can get a decent compensation this time.”

This time, the Blood Hand was reduced to just two people, Du Yanhu and Zhang Huai. But they didn’t care too much, it was typical for martial artists to die. As long as there’s money in hand, new people would join soon. For instance, Ouyang Yu. This young man was eager to join.

The martial artists relaxed and started to chat and smoke.

None of them noticed that in a hidden corner, inside a news van buried by heavy snow, a camera was still shooting in their direction.

Upon waking up in the morning, Su Na immediately checked the situation, even though she thought the chances were slim.

“Dear viewers, this is Su Na reporting from Zhao Dong. Just now, Li Tianhao appeared. After discussions with other martial artists, they all ascended Zhao Dong Building, presumably to locate Lin Zhen. There are still more than twenty martial artists waiting here.”

“I don’t believe there will be another miracle in this situation, but I am still praying that Lin Zhen will escape from death.”

However, this time many netizens are saying that Su Na is too stubborn, everything has already been set in stone.

Although many people side with Lin Zhen, there are also quite a few online who oppose him, even setting off a continuous burst of virtual fireworks they’ve bought online.

The fight between Lin Zhen’s supporters and opposers is still ongoing. But this time, the number of Lin Zhen’s supporters has significantly decreased.

No matter how talented a martial artist is, they’re no longer talented once dead. The majority of people wouldn’t constantly, unconditionally support a dead person.

Nevertheless, many people are still watching the live broadcast, wanting to see the final accurate result.

Li Tianhao and his team are making their way up the building. The journey isn’t straightforward. Many floors have been destroyed and climbing is often required.

Fortunately, as martial artists, climbing isn’t too difficult. But climbing a 36 -story building isn’t something that can be done in a short amount of time.

Su Na’s camera is dutifully recording, documenting the situation here.

The martial artists have already ascended to the 33rd floor. The netizens are watching online, believing they are about to find Lin Zhen.

At this moment, from the sky, a gigantic Mutated Cold Crow shrieked and charged towards the building.

“Is the mutated Bird going to nest?” observed the people, looking up.”

“Be careful, a mutated bird is coming!” Some martial artists shout to those who are still climbing, warning them of the Cold Crow’s attack.

This Cold Crow is huge, with its wings stretching nearly four meters- similar to a small glider. It’s a rare birdlike Mutated Beast that doesn’t shy away from the cold. Most martial artists would hardly have time to evade when encountering it in the wild.

But this Cold Crow seems to be moving oddly, wobbling as if out of control. Its cries seem full of panic as if something is pulling it towards this place. “What’s going on? This Cold Crow looks frightened.”

Some keen-eyed martial artists soon discovered the root of the issue. The frantic flapping of the Cold Crow clearly indicates it’s trying to retreat or turn away, but it’s being slowly drawn closer to the building.

The martial artists climbing the building tense up. Some quickly climb to a higher floor, while others slide to a lower floor prepared for battle. After all, being bitten by a Cold Crow is no laughing matter.

“It… it’s struggling!”

The martial artists, having spent a long time in the Wilderness Area, quickly realize that this Cold Crow does not want to approach the building but is being dragged towards it by some invisible force.

What could have such a strong pull that it can drag a Cold Crow towards it from a distance?

“Its target is the top floor!” a martial artist shouts.

Just as predicted, when the Cold Crow arrives near the top floor, next to the staircase, it screeches, flapping its wings and attempting to grab a pillar to stop itself.

But before it can grab the pillar, it’s as if its body is bound by an invisible rope that gets yanked hard, a scream escapes the Cold Crow, and it vanishes on the top floor.

“My God! What kind of monster is on the top floor? It’s captured the Cold Crow.

If anyone goes up there, wouldn’t they be immediately eaten?”

“I wonder if Lin Zhen went to the top floor. If he did, he definitely didn’t freeze to death. He was bitten to death.”

As the martial artists continue their discussion, the Cold Crow reappears from the top floor.

Flapping its giant wings, the Cold Crow swoops down from the top floor, carrying the sound of wind with it.

“Damn it! What is this mutated bird doing? Why is it charging towards us?”

“Get ready! Don’t get hurt!”

“Everyone form a team, try not to be alone. Those with long-range attacks, prepare to bring down this Cold Crow!”

At this moment, Su Na’s camera is running at high speed, filming this swooping Cold Crow.

“Su Na! There’s someone on the Cold Crow’s back!” the cameraman, Gao Feng, suddenly exclaims.

It’s not just him. The martial artists on the scene see it too.

The netizens online also notice!

Dongfang Jun from Gale Martial Arts Hall sees it too!

Riding on the Cold Crow, a figure with long hair flowing in the wind descends rapidly from the sky. His eyes twinkle with both gold and silver light, one hand grasping the Black Dragon Spear. He is descending at an incredibly high speed from the sky!

The Crow’s rapid dive opens a path through the swirling snow and wind, like a pathway to the heavens, opened just for this man!

That’s Lin Zhen!

That’s Lin Zhen!

That’s Lin Zhen!!!

Immediately, the martial artists on the ground descend into chaos!
