Chapter 281: Beast Shadow Warrior
Outside Lu Feng’s office, a large truck was parked by the side of the main road. A staff member was constantly directing the loading of the truck, and one item after another was methodically stuffed into the truck.
Chen Yiming walked forward. During this time, he scanned the items with his spiritual power and roughly knew what they contained.
“Hurry up! Hurry up!”
A staff member waved his hand to urge the workers.
The publicity department of the organization was going to hold a speech about the evil organization at the train station. The main speaker was Lu Feng, who had just made a huge contribution.
Because they had not made any preparations beforehand, and the workers and materials had been arranged at the last minute, time was tight.
“I might break something if I go any faster,” the worker who was being urged explained.
He cursed in his heart. I don’t care what you guys want to do. Working at night is considered additional overtime. You guys don’t even pay me extra, so it’s already good enough that I am doing this. Why are you still so picky?
Chen Yiming walked past the large truck and suddenly thought of a way in which he could put more pressure on the big fish. Hence, he used his spiritual power to scan the area to its maximum range. His current limit was three kilometers.
Even in a large city, the area within the city was only a few hundred kilometers wide. It would not take long to search the area thoroughly. However, it was impossible for the other party to not disguise himself. At the moment, it was not easy to identify them.
The staff and workers beside the large truck behind him suddenly felt as if their entire bodies had been touched by something. They instantly had goosebumps.
“Ah!”
A worker’s legs went weak and he fell heavily to the ground, along with the items he was carrying. They cracked and scattered all over the ground.
“What are you doing? If you don’t do a good job, I’ll deduct your pay.”
The scene fell into chaos.
…
Near the train station, in a luxurious guest room in a five-star hotel, Natasha stood on the balcony, directly opposite the Jiangdu railway station. Her emotions were in a mess, and she felt completely insecure. She went over the escape plan in her mind again and again.
“I hope everything goes well.”
After thinking about it for a long time, she could only comfort herself.
Suddenly, Natasha felt a huge burst of spiritual power in the direction of the government office. It was like an invisible storm.
“This is?”
Her pupils dilated, and her face was filled with fear.
As someone who was half a step away from the master realm, she had also completed the transformation of her spiritual power and could effectively materialize it. She was very sensitive to spiritual power, but she was far from being able to unleash it to this extent.
This was the difference in their talent. Their strength was not comparable even though they were at the same level.
Natasha quickly turned around and rushed into the guest room. She shouted at Wayne and Locke, “You two, quickly change back into your clothes.”
Wayne and Locke were sorting out the items they wanted to take away. The two of them were wearing human skin masks and dark green military uniforms. There was a brand new set of clothes on the table.
“What…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Natasha glared at him murderously.
Wayne and Locke realized the seriousness of the matter and shut up. They started to change back into their normal clothes.
At the same time, Natasha took out a human skin mask and put it on her face. Immediately, her face became an exquisite and beautiful oriental face.
“That person is searching the entire city. From now on, we can’t show any abnormalities. We have to suppress our aura as much as possible,” Natasha instructed.
Wayne and Locke nodded, their foreheads covered in sweat.
Then, she turned on the television in the hotel. The three of them sat on the sofa. On the screen, the reporter was broadcasting the day’s news. The entire guest room was filled with the crisp and clear voice of the reporter, and the tense atmosphere became much more relaxed.
10 minutes later, a spiritual fluctuation swept across the area around the train station and stayed there for a few minutes before disappearing.
There were too many people, and it was impossible for Chen Yiming to differentiate them one by one. Natasha, Wayne, and Locke couldn’t help but tremble when his spiritual power swept past them.
Wayne and Locke almost thought they had given themselves away.
It was as if their opponent was standing from the perspective of God and was looking down on all of them. His life no longer felt like it was under his own control, and he felt indescribably uncomfortable.
After another 10 minutes, Natasha confirmed that the explosive spiritual power had completely calmed down. “Alright, change into your military uniform and act according to the plan.”
“Sister, will our plan…”
Wayne hesitated and tried to ask before he left.
“Then what good ideas do you have?”
Natasha took off her long dress, revealing her delicate body. A flirtatious aura spread out, but she quickly changed into the dark green military uniform.
Jiangdu City was very big but also very small. The longer one stayed, the higher the chance of being found. They could only fight for a way out.
…
At 10 pm, at the train station in Jiangdu City, an open-air podium was built at the entrance. Around it, teams of soldiers pulled up barriers to prevent the onlookers from squeezing onto the podium.
On the stage was a small sign with Lu Feng’s name on it.
Lu Feng was a hero who had successfully fought against an evil organization. His reputation had soared throughout Jiangdu City, and many people admired him. Therefore, even though it was a little late, they still came to listen to Lu Feng’s speech.
Everything was ready, but Lu Feng was nowhere to be seen. The staff from the organization department could not find him and started to call his phone.
On the table in Lu Feng’s office, the phone screen was lit up, and calls were coming in continuously.
“Where is he? No one is going up to explain the situation.”
“He must have been delayed by something. I heard that the evil organization in Jiangnan province is causing a huge commotion.”
“What’s going on? I admired Lu Feng, but I didn’t expect him to stand us up.”
“That’s right. He became arrogant after becoming a hero, right? I think this speech is just a show for the provincial leaders.”
…
The onlookers had been waiting for a long time and started to talk among themselves. Although Lu Feng had been publicized as a hero, it was not enough to convince everyone.
Suddenly, several black balls hurtled towards the rooftop of the buildings around the train station, including houses, hotels, and shopping malls.
“What’s that?”
Amidst the commotion, the black balls exploded. They were incendiary bombs, and their explosions caused the train station to be engulfed in flames.
Those at the warrior realm were not afraid of these incendiary bombs, but most of the people present were in the disciple realm.
Furthermore, due to the crowd, there was no room to dodge, causing a large group of people to instantly catch on fire. Roars and cries for help could be heard everywhere, and the venue turned into chaos.
This was not all.
Immediately after, beast roars sounded out from all around. From the sounds, it was as if the train station was surrounded by mutant beasts.
Then, from the rooftop of the building where the black ball was thrown, figures leaped down one after another. The shadows of beasts appeared on their bodies, including bulls, horses, pigs, and so on, allowing everyone to see them clearly at night.
These beast shadow warriors were completely different from ordinary humans. On average, they were about five meters tall, which was one and a half stories tall. They were like small giants.
“Run!”
Someone shouted, making the situation even more chaotic.
However, the beast shadow warriors did not show any mercy. After landing on the ground, they immediately started a massacre. Every punch and kick of theirs had strong destructive power.
They even took the opportunity to destroy the buildings in the vicinity, causing greater chaos.
There were 200 to 300 beast shadow warriors, and their true level was only that of warrior candidates. However, with the enhancement of the beast shadows, they had temporarily obtained the power of internal force, and their strength was temporarily equivalent to that of 200 to 300 warriors.
Within the entire Jiangdu City, there were only about 200 to 300 warriors. There were less than 100 of them present at the scene, which was equivalent to each warrior facing three or four beast shadow warriors. Furthermore, the warriors gathered here did not know each other yet beforehand.
As for those in the disciple realm, without the power of internal force, they were no different from ordinary people. They would die if they received even a light attack.
For a time, in a situation where they were each fighting for themselves, the human warriors were forced to retreat step by step, and a large number of casualties resulted. Half of Jiangdu City was ignited by the flames of war.
…
Chen Yiming sped through the buildings in the city. He stayed far behind the support team led by the chief of the security bureau, Lin Hui.
Both sides were heading towards the train station.
Along the way, he saw passersby fleeing in panic and the figures of the beast shadow warriors.
Chen Yiming had already reached a consensus with the city guardian, Zhou Hongquan. He would be responsible for dealing with the big fish, while the other party would lead the military soldiers to deal with the small fries.
Therefore, even though he could easily kill a large number of beast shadow warriors, he still held back.
This was not the same as when he had used his spiritual power to search the entire city. Now, the big fish must be observing the situation and was ready to escape from the city at any moment.
Chen Yiming realized that these beast shadow warriors were quite something. Although their use of internal force was extremely crude, and only their basic attributes like strength, defense, stamina, and speed were enhanced, perhaps because their talent had increased compared to ordinary humans, in a one-on-one situation, many human warriors were defeated, not to mention many-to-one situations.
From the looks of it, the mainstream path on the blue planet was to become a bloodline warrior. There was indeed something special about it. On the other hand, pure martial arts still lacked a systematic analysis. It was more like the domain of the talented.
At an intersection near the train station, “From all the signs, Lin Hui is the biggest traitor planted by the evil organization. The army has already surrounded Jiangdu City. As long as we keep an eye on Lin Hui and use our large-scale spiritual power, I can’t think of a way for him to escape.”
Chen Yiming pondered for a moment before coming to a stop. He leaped to the rooftop of a taller building.
From his current position, nothing that happened at the train station could escape his eyes. He could hide in the shadows and patiently observe the enemy’s movements.
…
The military reacted extremely quickly. Jiangdu City was their home ground, and an endless stream of troops was gathering at the train station.
The beast shadow warriors, who had been wreaking havoc at the start, instantly became at a disadvantage. The speed at which they were defeated was far faster than expected.
Not only were they unable to compete with the entire Jiangdu City in terms of numbers, but as time passed, the auras of these warriors suddenly weakened extremely quickly. Those who could barely maintain their beast shadows also shrank from their beast warrior forms.
It was obvious that the power of internal force was not created out of thin air. It was transformed from the energy within their bodies. With a body at the disciple realm, even the beast shadow warrior could not control this power for a long time.
“Kill!”
The sounds of fighting were deafening, and the entire city had turned into a land of death.
In terms of lower-middle-level martial arts power, the military had an absolute advantage over the civilian martial arts power that could not put up a joint front. A captain in the warrior realm leading more than 10 team members in the disciple realm could easily surround a beast shadow warrior.
There was no need to kill them immediately. A stalemate would lead to a sure victory. The beast shadow warriors knew their own situation, but the more anxious they were, the more mistakes they made. They fell one after another.
When the balance tipped to Jiangdu City’s side, the civilian warriors suddenly no longer had a disadvantage in terms of teamwork. The advantage in numbers was revealed at this moment.
The entire Jiangdu City’s civilian martial arts power was supporting the train station from all directions. The tables had turned, and it became four or five warriors against one beast shadow warrior.
…
Half an hour later, peace returned to Jiangdu City.
The beast shadow warriors were defeated. A small number of them were captured alive, and most of them had died in the battle.
The city guardian, Zhou Hongquan, was guarding the train station. Lin Hui led the special operations team from the security bureau over.
“Fortunately, all the beast shadow warriors were wiped out.”
When Lin Hui said this, his serious face naturally made it sound very convincing. Coupled with his status as the chief of the security bureau, no one expected him to be a spy for the evil organization.
“That’s right. The battle might not be over yet. Continue to be on high alert,” Zhou Hongquan nodded and instructed.
The surrounding soldiers and the martial arts practitioners revealed victorious smiles.
The annihilation of a large number of members of the evil organization meant that they had won against the hidden danger lurking in Jiangdu City. To the soldiers, they had obtained military achievements. To the civilian martial arts practitioners, this meant that it was only a matter of time before they could return to the stronghold in the otherworld.
At this moment, Natasha, Wayne, and Locke were hiding in the team led by Lin Hui.
Their appearances had changed again compared to when they were at the hotel. The team members beside them completely treated the three of them as their own people. In addition, people did not chat much while on the battlefield, so no one noticed anything amiss.
“There are some small flaws in the first part of the plan, but it’s not enough to affect the overall plan.”
Natasha had also participated in the battle against the beast shadow warriors. She knew exactly where the escape plan had failed.
According to the original plan, Lu Feng would first release the spirits in the small bottle when the crowd was the most dense.
Due to the limited level of the martial arts experts present, there was a high chance that they could cause terrifying casualties at that moment, causing greater chaos.
Next, the beast shadow warriors would work together with the incendiary bombs. They planned to spread the flames of war throughout the entire city before Jiangdu City could react.
For the last step, they had two different plans. They would choose a suitable time and plan to leave the city based on the situation.
On the rooftop of a nearby building,
a ball of black fog hid Chen Yiming’s figure in the darkness. He could observe Lin Hui’s team and the situation at the train station freely.
“You hid quite well,” Chen Yiming muttered to himself.
Lin Hui had set up the situation for them and asked Natasha and the other two to attack the members of the special operations unit in advance. They would use the high-tech human skin masks to switch their identities.
However, he was not too worried. As long as Lin Hui’s team was not out of the range of his radar, he would be able to determine the actual identities of the team members.
The situation was still under Chen Yiming’s control. Due to the absolute difference in strength between the two sides, if they made a mistake and got caught by him, the battle would end immediately.
The chances of the other party successfully escaping back to the west were still very low. At the very least, they had to run across the sea to escape Chen Yiming’s pursuit.
