Fishing the Myriad Heavens

Chapter 222: Kicking Against A Steelboard!

Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

All these events were merely the beginning of the storm. When the Lido Ghost City opens, that would be the true bloodbath!

"Patriarch, why aren't we charging in right away?!"

A group of people were sitting in a teahouse facing the security company.

"There's no hurry. The show's only just starting. The first ones to act right now will just end up as cannon fodder. There's a saying that the bird that takes the lead always gets shot. Till date, there're many people who still do not understand this concept!"

An old man chuckled as he took a sip of tea.

One had to know that this place was under the jurisdiction of Fuzhou's special task force. They naturally had to give the appropriate amount of face to them.

The large clans did not make any move at this time. Rather, it was those small powers or the underground forces of certain territories which were feeling impatient.

"Eldest Brother, is this mask thing really that important?"

The Three Dragons Gang which dominated parts of Guangzhou had also rushed over here. The gang was founded by three blood brothers who learned martial arts from an old man in their village since they were young. In terms of martial prowess, they could be considered to have achieved some minor success, allowing them to forge a path for themselves. At this time, it was the youngest of the three who was asking the question.

"Although the three of us are at the peak of Dark Jing, I'm sure you two have also realized that the stronger we are, the harder it is to cultivate to the next level. According to legends, the Ghost King Mask has the ability to allow people to break through to a higher realm! If we can obtain the mask and break through to the Evolved Jing realm, our gang's standing would skyrocket immediately!" the eldest brother explained.

Many of the smaller powers who had only come to join in the fun simply heard that the mask was a good item, but as for what it is used for, they did not know. However, that did not stop them from trying to obtain it.

At this time, Mystic One and the rest had arrived as well. They alighted from the car and hurried into towards the office. Ripper followed behind them, its bulky body covered by a long black cloak, causing it to look extremely strange.

"Hold it there! You guys should be the upper-level management people of this company, right? Hurry up and hand over the mask right now, if you know what's good for you. Otherwise, you will only bring upon a calamity for yourself."

Seeing Mystic One and the rest walking over, a large group of people hurried over and surrounded them.

This place was considered an outskirt area of the city, and the reason the company was built here initially was because the land was cheap. There was also sufficient space to train the staff, and there were no residential buildings around them.

Because of this, the outsiders could behave lawlessly, surrounding the Mystics as if they were eyeing a tasty meal.

"The Ghost King Mask is not in our hands. The one we have is a fake!" Mystic Three said as he took a step forward. When they received the mission, they had never thought that a stupid mask would bring about so much trouble.

"Sir, should we go over now?"

A group of people was stationed nearby, watching the entire event unfold. These were the people from the special task force.

"No need. Let them suffer a little first. That way, when we swoop in later to save the day, it will be easier to talk to them."

Cang Zan shook his head lightly. If they showed themselves now, they might be rejected outright. But if these people were in trouble and they went in at the right moment to save them, the chances of obtaining the Ghost King Mask would be much higher.

The more influential powers were also watching from the shadows. Every one of them was waiting to see what the people from the security company would do. How interesting!

"Why should we believe you? Do you have anything to prove that it's fake? Hurry up and hand the mask over if you know what's good for you!"

The group of people obviously did not believe Mystic Three's words. They were all prepared to take action to capture their targets.

"Refusing a toast to drink a forfeit!"

A cold smirk sounded out as a person walked towards Mystic One. For a peak Dark Jing expert like him, he did not put these people in his eyes at all.

As he did so, a red light flashed briefly under the voluminous cloak concealing Ripper. In an instant, it appeared before Mystic One, blocking the Dark Jing expert's path. At this moment, the only action that could be seen was Ripper retracting a long slender finger back into its robes. Not a single drop of blood could be seen.

"Putong!"

The Dark Jing expert fell heavily to the ground. A small hole the size of a chopstick had appeared between his brows, and blood was flowing out of it steadily.

"Si!"

"What vicious methods!"

Those who witnessed this scene all sucked in a cold breath of air involuntarily. That robed fellow seemed quiet and reserved, but the moment he struck, it was to kill! There were no excessive movements; it was just a simple and direct strike!

"BROTHER!!!! D*mn it! Go! Kill them all!"

Seeing their Second Bro lying in a pool of blood, the other two brothers immediately went crazy with rage. At this point, they couldn't be bothered with some stupid mask. They only knew that they must avenge their brother! In an instant, seven, eight men rushed towards the Mystics.

"Dang! Dang!"

All manner of weapons were swung at Ripper, aiming to tear it apart. However, they had vastly overestimated themselves.

Ripper's movements were so fast that only a flash could be seen. After that, numerous people could be seen collapsing onto the ground. The knives they were holding were all dented or pierced through.

"Go to hell!"

Seeing his comrades dropping to the ground like flies, someone took out a handgun from his jacket and aimed it at Ripper.

"Ding!"

Ripper's speed was simply too fast to conceive. A sharp claw stretched out from underneath the cloak, blocking the bullet. Thereafter, the claw continued forward under the disbelieving eyes of the shooter, instantly tearing open his throat.

In the blink of an eye, three peak level Dark Jing experts and five, six Light Jing martial practitioners were killed. Even a bullet fired at point-blank range was blocked!

"Evolved Jing master! And it's not an ordinary Evolved Jing master!"

Those watching from the shadows could not help but narrow their eyes with seriousness. The matter had just become a lot more complicated. They had thought that the opponents was just a bunch of sheep, while they were the wolves. But from the looks of it now, the opponents were indeed sheep, but the one leading them was actually an alpha wolf!

The rest of those surrounding the group hurriedly backed off. Each one was feeling extremely fortunate that they had not made the first move. Otherwise, the ones lying on the ground would be them right now.

Seeing its enemies retreating, Ripper moved to chase after them.

"Come back!"

Mystic Three's voice sounded out, and Ripper immediately stopped its movements and returned to the group.

Those who were surrounding the group had all scattered by now, running far away into the distance. That was honestly too scary. It was still better to return to their own cozy territories and handle their normal affairs.

"Aren't Fellow Daoist's methods a little too overboard?"

A voice resounded from the distance, causing the Mystics who were about to leave to turn back and narrow their eyes.

Ten old fogies had appeared behind them out of the blue. None of the Mystics heard them coming. In a sense, it also meant that if these people wanted to kill them, it would be a matter as easy as flipping a palm.

"I cannot sense that person's cultivation at all!"

Those Evolved Jing masters did not even spare a glance at the Mystics. All their attention was placed on Ripper.

Seeing that Ripper did not have any intentions to reply them, one of the top tier Evolved Jing master could not help but to feel displeased. "Hmph, Fellow Daoist, aren't you a little too brazen? Are you not putting us in your eyes at all?!"

The other top-tier Evolved Jing masters also had ugly expressions on their faces.

"Seniors, this is just a servant from our Lord's house. He never speaks, so we ask for the forgiveness of all the Seniors on his behalf! The Ghost King Mask is really not with us. The one in our hands is just a fake! Our Lord is similarly angered by this event, and will come over personally in a few days!"

Mystic Three stood out and bowed respectfully to the ten elderly characters.

"Si!"

The ten elderly characters were first taken aback, before a scalp-numbing sensation spread through their heads. Seeing the cloaked fellow remain motionless, it was as good as verifying the words of that fellow!

Every Evolved Jing master was a dragon among men, and were incomparably arrogant. They could work under someone else, but to be a servant is a completely different story! That was as good as giving up all the pride of a powerful martial practitioner!

A powerful Evolved Jing master was actually just a servant for someone? In that case... how powerful was that 'Lord'?!
