Chapter 2: The Mysterious Organization (Part 2)
At this time, the old man with a black mask at his feet slowly woke up. He twisted his body and suddenly wanted to jump up, but was stepped on by Leixing Peak. A miserable cry was heard, and in the midst of the cracking sound, one leg was broken. Immediately afterwards, a steel spear appeared in Leixing Peak's hand, and with one thrust, it pierced through the old man's arm. Only then did Leixing Peak not dare to be careless, first making this guy lose his ability to resist was the right thing to do.
Two consecutive spears, the old man in black mask lost his resistance, one leg broken, two arms pierced, even if he was a top-notch master, he had lost the possibility of fighting. He lay on the ground, struggling to lift his head and said: "You... you... who are you?" Until now, he still didn't know what this guy was, it was his bad luck, the order he received was to kill all living things, whether human or animal.
Lei Xingfeng sneered and said: "You still know how to ask who I am? You damn... when we met, why didn't you ask?"
That person showed a desperate expression, and suddenly he realized something was wrong, saying: "You, you, you took off my mask! Ah......"
Lei Xingfeng was startled and said: "What's going on? Do you want to die?"
"That man cried out in despair: 'You, kill me!'"
Lei Xingfeng's curiosity was piqued, and he said: "Why? Just because I lifted your mask?"
That man showed a bitter expression and said: "Kill me if you want, actually... you're finished too, you're dead for sure!"
"What kind of people are you? Speak up, anyway, you don't want to live yourself, it doesn't matter if you say it." He asked with a good-natured appearance.
That man was furious, and he naturally detected the sarcasm in Lei Xingfeng's tone. He said angrily: "I'm not talking nonsense, you're dead for sure!"
Lei Xingfeng smiled and said: "But you're also doomed to die."
"That person said: 'Even if you don't kill me, I'm dead anyway, so... I don't care anymore.' With that, a sly smile appeared on his face as he said: 'Want to know who we are? Haha, I'll tell you... We are... the Masked Men!' He thought that Lei Xingfeng would be scared half to death upon hearing this, but what made him furious was that Lei Xingfeng didn't have any expression at all, let alone fear."
Lei Xingfeng laughed and said, "Why should I be afraid?" He had never heard of the Masked Man, let alone the Wanhuzhou Sect. How could someone who knew nothing be afraid?
That man was so angry that his face turned red, and he couldn't help but curse: "Where did you come from, you damn fool? You don't understand anything, yet you dare to kill us?"
Lei Xingfeng's eyes flashed with a cold glint, and the steel spear in his hand stabbed into the only good leg of that person. With one thrust, he pierced through and said: "Who did you call a damn fool?"
O... U...
The steel spear not only pierced through flesh, but also penetrated bone. The pain made him tremble violently, his mind cursing desperately, but he dared not speak out loud, his mouth only muttering: "Stop, stop... Oww, ah... Oh... it hurts!"
Lei Xingfeng knew that even with this level of injury, if someone treated him, he would be fully recovered in about ten days and there wouldn't be any danger to his life. So, he didn't hold back at all, doing whatever he wanted, and drew out his long spear. Lei Xingfeng said calmly, "How many people came this time? How many true expert-level masters are there? Are there any beyond the fourth ring of True Body?"
That man had a mocking smile on his face, and he said: "I'm going to die anyway, do you think I'll tell you? Haha, cough...cough...cough..." A mouthful of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.
Lei Xingfeng gazed at the increasingly approaching large ship, a hint of impatience flashing across his face. He nodded and said, "Oh? You're going to die anyway? I won't let you die, nor will I let you live..." One spear after another was thrust out, and he said calmly, "I'm not very good at torturing people, so... perhaps you can hold on."
Sharp spearheads left holes in his body, mostly piercing through bones.
The man was instantly overwhelmed by a tidal wave of pain, he wanted to hold on, but this pain was really not something he could bear, and he couldn't help but shout: "I said it, I... Cough, cough, cough... I said it!" There's no way not to say it, can't stand it anymore, might as well die, but now even if he wanted to commit suicide, he couldn't.
Lei Xingfeng calmly said: "I'm listening, go ahead!"
"That person said: 'This time, how many people came... I, I'm not very clear, cough, just what I know... about over a thousand people, and more, I, I don't know... True Person level experts, just what I know... there are six people... six people, three First Ring True Persons, two Second Ring True Persons, and one is a Third Ring True Person, others I don't know... cough, cough, cough... as for whether there are any Fourth Ring or higher true experts... I, I don't know!'"
Lei Xingfeng coldly said: "You're joking, six people, the highest three-ring true body, dare to come and destroy a four-ring true person's home? Has your brain gone bad? Or are you just spouting nonsense?" In his heart, he was also secretly shocked, if there really was a high-ranking expert with a four-ring true body, it might be possible to wipe out the entire family.
"That person said: 'I really don't know anymore... just kill me, give me a quick death, don't torture me... I've told you everything I know!' After finishing speaking, he started coughing violently again, his face gradually turning pale."
"Alright, I'll give you a quick death." A spear pierced the man's heart. Watching the man's relieved expression, he felt a hint of fear towards this fake masked organization.
Tan Da returned and said: "It's settled, what about these captives?"
"Kill them," said Lei Xingfeng, "once they are rescued, they will immediately come and attack us."
Tan Da nodded, his wrist flipped, and a one-meter-long knife appeared, quickly killing the captives on the ground. He said, "They're coming!"
Two large sailboats were approaching, each with a group of people standing at the bow. Lei Xingfeng narrowed his eyes and stared at the bows, and in just a few breaths, he had counted them up. He said: "One is a three-ring cultivator, one is a two-ring cultivator, haha, the others are all ordinary cultivators. Tan Da, take Wu Zhen back a bit, I'll try to finish off one of them as quickly as possible. If I get tied down by one, the other will come looking for you."
Tan Da was startled, currently he can't withstand the attack of a second-rate master. He said: "Alright, Wu Zhen come over." Wu Zhen had already come out after Tan Da killed that group of people, he ran to Tan Da's side and said: "There are too many people, what should I do?"
Lei Xingfeng said, "Just follow Tan Da and you'll be fine, he'll protect you." He regretted bringing Wu Zhen out in his heart, but who would have thought that they couldn't find the person, yet someone came to wipe them out first? Even if he wanted to stay out of it, it was impossible. Just thinking about it made him angry.
Wu Zhen also knew that he was a burden, but he had no way to leave and could only grit his teeth and hold on. He said, "Alright, I'll be careful."
Tan Da pulled Wu Zhen and ran towards the outside of the town, temporarily hiding for a while. He believed that the two masters on the other side would not send one person to chase after them. With Lei Xingfeng's strength, these two people had a chance to survive if they stayed together, but if they separated, they would definitely die.
Lei Xingfeng was blocking the dock, quietly waiting for the other party to disembark. He didn't want to engage in a battle on the river, that would be too passive.
Two large ships quickly approached the dock, about ten or so meters away, two masters suddenly rose up and flew onto the dock, during which Lei Xingfeng retreated more than ten meters, nor did he take advantage of the opportunity to launch an attack, he was very careful, if the opponent had a true person above the fourth ring, he would not consider fighting at all, that would be looking for death, if not, then this battle must be fought.
Both of them were wearing masks, one black and the other red. The guy in the black mask was a two-ring True Body, just like the one he had killed last time. On the other hand, the guy in the red mask was a three-ring True Body. Lei Xingfeng suddenly understood that the color of the mask should be a tool to distinguish between strong and weak.
The dock was stained with blood, and the corpses were scattered all over the ground. The two of them stepped onto the dock and immediately saw the old man who had died, because next to the old man was a black mask. They exchanged a glance, and their eyes clearly showed a shocked expression. One of the second-ring true men had been killed, which made things big. An organization's second-ring true man was absolutely a core strength, and once he died, it would be a major blow to the organization.
Any organization attaches great importance to a master of the true person level, so Leixingfeng killing a second-ring true person is also considered to have stirred up big trouble. Of course, he doesn't care about what's true or not, since you want to kill me, then don't blame me for fighting back.
The red mask said: "Was it you who killed him?" The voice was icy and venomous, like the feeling of being stared at by a snake.
"Who are you?" said Lei Xingfeng.
The red mask said: "Who I am is unimportant, what's important is... did you kill him?"
Lei Xingfeng suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart and said: "Those who look for death themselves, no mistake, I killed him, what about it?"
"Good! Then you can go with him to his grave too!" He tilted his head slightly and said, "Together? Kill him together!"
"Heh, you're unlucky to have killed our people. Let's take him down together!" The two didn't think much of it and joined forces. Even if the opponent was a Three-Ring True Person, they had the ability to kill each other. However, neither of them noticed that the other was stronger than themselves. This was also intentional on Lei Xingfeng's part, hiding his true strength to make others think he was only at the Two or Three-Ring True Body level, planning to catch his opponent off guard and deal a fatal blow.
Before the two men could make a move, Lei Xingfeng took the initiative to launch an attack. As the saying goes, "the first to strike is strong, and the last to strike suffers." This was something Lei Xingfeng understood very well. Even if his opponent was weaker than him, taking the initiative would bring many benefits, and he wouldn't be foolish enough to wait for a beating.
This time, Lei Xingfeng didn't use his steel spear. He knew that thing was a sharp weapon for lower-level cultivators, but for True Person-level experts, the steel spear's effect was minimal. He directly released a thunderball, and his target of attack was the black-masked man, that two-ring True Body expert. Relatively speaking, it was easier to kill a second-ring True Person.
In an instant, the red mask and black mask both had their hairs standing on end, a huge sense of menace surged up in their hearts. The red mask shouted loudly: "Be careful!"
