Chapter 334 - 310: The Dumbfounded Li Family

Chapter 334: Chapter 310: The Dumbfounded Li Family

Li Lin was furious when he saw that one of his Mutant Beasts had been killed.

The brothers Chen Hao and Chen Tao walked to the edge of the breach in the wall and looked down.

"Members of the Li Family, our boss has been waiting for you for a long time," Chen Hao said coldly.

Seeing this, Li Sheng knew at once that his plan had been exposed.

They had known all along and had set an ambush.

’Li Tie must have been exposed.’

’Damn it.’

’Li Tie is a seasoned pro at this stuff. He’s done countless infiltration missions. How could he have been exposed?’

Just then, the entrance to Qingfeng Base’s underground air-raid shelter opened.

A crowd of people surged out.

Lu Feng was at the forefront, followed by Lin Jiao, Guo Zhen, Xu Bin, and the Ability Users from the East Suburb Fortress.

Lu Feng looked at the members of the Li Family and sneered. "I hear you’re coming after me?"

He emerged, clearly unconcerned about the Li Family’s strength.

There was no Mutated Beast King among the Li Family’s Mutant Beasts.

Because Jinwen and Xiaoshi at his feet showed no reaction whatsoever.

If there were a Mutated Beast King present, the two little ones would have definitely reacted by now.

’In other words, this Li Lin isn’t as powerful as his backstory suggested. For them to come knocking at our door now... aren’t they just asking to die?’

"You’re Lu Feng?" Li Sheng’s face instantly twisted with murderous intent as he stared at him.

He was finally face-to-face with the man himself, which only made him more furious.

This was the person who had caused the Li Family to suffer such a massive loss, yet he’d never even seen him before.

This was their very first meeting.

’What an absolute disgrace.’

"Hold nothing back! Kill them!" Li Sheng ordered viciously.

’After all, hadn’t his objective been achieved?’

’The man, Lu Feng, was here.’

’His goal was to lure Lu Feng here and kill him.’

The Li Family’s Ability Users charged toward the fighters from the East Suburb Fortress without hesitation.

One of them charged directly at Lin Jiao.

The man was incredibly fast—clearly a Speed Ability User.

He lunged, a dagger in hand, slashing straight at Lin Jiao. But his attack missed; she had dodged with equally impressive speed.

"You’re a Speed Ability User, too?" The man from the Li Family frowned.

As a Speed Ability User, the opponents he found most annoying were other Speed Ability Users.

He much preferred fighting Power Ability Users.

It was obviously far easier to use his speed and a sharp weapon against slower opponents.

"Is that all? Just a speed ability?" Lin Jiao sneered, taking out a dagger of her own.

At the same time, her body began to change. It was her Charm Fox Beastification ability, a transformation that also specialized in speed.

The sight stunned the Li Family member. "Two abilities?" he stammered in horror. "How is that possible?"

Even with the Li Family’s considerable power in the City East Alliance, he had never seen anyone with two abilities.

This was the first time he had ever seen a dual-ability user.

But in the moment he was distracted, Lin Jiao lunged at him, a blur of motion. Her speed was now on a completely different level.

In that instant, he had no time to react before Lin Jiao’s dagger slit his throat.

With two speed-type abilities stacked, the resulting velocity was terrifying.

Having dealt with one opponent, Lin Jiao immediately moved on to the next.

At the same time, a Li Family Ability User set their sights on Guo Zhen.

This Li Family member possessed a strange shadow-binding ability. Caught off guard, Guo Zhen was instantly constricted by shadows, unable to move a muscle.

With his arms and legs bound tight, he had no leverage to exert his strength.

"A Power Ability User," the man from the Li Family said with contempt as he slowly approached Guo Zhen. "Against brawny types like you, as long as my shadow bind is tight enough to keep you from getting any leverage, you’re completely useless."

"You’re celebrating too soon!" Guo Zhen roared, activating his own beastification ability. A rhinoceros horn sprouted from his forehead, and a layer of gray, leathery hide covered his skin.

His original ability was power-based, and the rhino beastification was also known for its immense strength. With his power instantly amplified, he shattered the shadow restraints in a single moment.

This display of a dual ability also shocked the Li Family member.

Guo Zhen’s hand shot out, grabbing the Li Family member by the neck. Before his opponent could react, he was brutally slammed into the ground.

The terrifying force snapped the man’s spine, crippling him instantly.

At this point, the Li Family members were gradually realizing that the East Suburb Fortress had people with dual abilities.

Because besides Lin Jiao and Guo Zhen, the East Suburb Fortress had five other dual-ability users.

They had been created using the five Beastification Ability Crystal Stones Lu Feng had given to Lin Jiao.

The five were Xu Bin, Chen Hao, Chen Tao, Zheng Lin, and Chen Lin.

Zheng Lin could be considered lucky. Although he had a Pulse Fissure Chip implanted in his head, one of the five Beastification Ability Crystal Stones Lu Feng had given Lin Jiao happened to be a perfect match for his fire-element ability.

Otherwise, he would have never gotten the chance.

But the Pulse Fissure Chip made no difference to him, as he had no intention of ever betraying Lu Feng.

Thus, when facing the Li Family again, he held nothing back, dispatching an opponent in an instant.

With the exception of Chen Lin, who was leading a team at Red Leaf Base to lure and kill zombie hordes, the other four had all arrived.

The four of them, wielding the power of their dual abilities, plunged into the Li Family’s ranks. The Li Family’s Ability Users were no match for them.

"How can this be?" Li Sheng’s expression turned grim.

He had never imagined the East Suburb Fortress possessed such strength, let alone that its Ability Users could have dual abilities.

’How on earth did the East Suburb Fortress get so many dual-ability users?’

’More importantly, why did the East Suburb Fortress have so many Ability Users in the first place?’

Aside from the Ability Users being pinned down by Li Lin’s Mutant Beasts, his Li Family forces felt like they were actually losing.

"You bastard, I’ll kill you!" Li Sheng roared, charging frantically toward Lu Feng.

He felt utterly humiliated. This was the same person who had once cowered and schemed just to feign submission to the Li Family, and now they had the gall to openly challenge them.

Only killing him would quell his rage.

Only killing him would wash away the Li Family’s shame.

As he charged, Li Sheng flung a Qi Blade at Lu Feng. But suddenly, a figure in a steel Mecha appeared, blocking his Qi Blade with a laser beam.

"A Mecha?!" Li Sheng’s eyes flew wide. A fresh wave of rage burned so intensely inside him he felt he could spit blood.

He remembered that when the Li Family had first tasked Gray Wolf with tracking down that Salvation Army squad to get their map, the intel he’d received said it led to a Mecha.

Later, however, news from the Flame Emperor’s people claimed the Beastman Army had been wiped out by a nuclear weapon found by the East Suburb Fortress.

The nuke was supposedly what the Salvation Army squad’s map had led to.

He had believed it at the time.

But now it was clear that wasn’t the case. The initial intel he’d received was correct: it was a Mecha.

And somehow, it had ended up in the hands of these people from Qingfeng Base.

But this led to an even more shocking question: if the prize was the Mecha, then where did they get a nuclear weapon?

’The Flame Emperor and his people must have been deceived as well.’

’Just who in the world was this Lu Feng?’

He was suddenly struck by a terrible premonition and yelled to Li Lin, "Get rid of Lu Feng! Now!"

Li Lin nodded and immediately commanded his Mutant Beasts to charge Lu Feng. Two of them instantly lunged at him.

But in that same instant, two blurs slammed into the lunging Mutant Beasts, sending them flying.

It was Lu Feng’s two small companions.

"Mutated Beast King cubs... You’re a Summoning Beast Ability User, too?" Li Lin’s eyes grew serious as he stared at Lu Feng.

"Whether I am isn’t important. What’s important is that you are!" Lu Feng now fixed his gaze on Li Lin, recognizing him as the Summoning Beast Ability User.

He drew a steel blade from his inventory and charged forward.

To him, Li Lin was a boss. Killing him might drop some good loot.

Li Lin’s expression changed as he saw Lu Feng charge. ’He’s a Summoning Beast Ability User, just like me, but he’s charging forward to attack me personally? Is he joking?!’

’A Summoning Beast Ability User’s job is to stay in the back and command their beasts!’

He immediately sent two more Mutant Beasts to pounce on Lu Feng, but was stunned to see Lu Feng’s figure flicker and slip right past them in an instant.

"You’ve unlocked a Tier 2 ability!" Li Lin felt a surge of Lu Feng’s power in that moment and cried out in terror.

His cry stunned the members of the Li Family, especially Li Sheng, whose face was a mask of disbelief.

’That Lu Feng is a Tier 2 Ability User, too?’

’How is that possible?’

’If he had that kind of power, why did he pretend to submit to me before?’

’Was this whole charade just to make a fool out of us?’
