Chapter 493: The Killing!

Zap!

The clear cracking sound which echoed in the Power Shield sounded like smooth silk being torn. The energy thorn, without a sign of stopping, thrust into the electric net. An incident that startled everyone happened. The electric net surrounding Qi Feng acted like water, while the light green colored energy thorn acted like a sponge and the latter absorbed the silvery-white electric awns in a blink of an eye.

The entirety of the 15cm light green colored energy thorn turned silver. The unchecked tiny electrical awns gathered and went wild on the surface of the energy thorn. An astonishing energy wave echoed in the hall. Even the weakest card artisan could clearly feel it. There would not be anything left but a charred corpse had these electric awns came in contact with a human body!

Bang!

The stable structured energy thorn could not contain these unsettling electric awns and exploded into pieces! Upon losing their support, the electric awns, similar to the energy thorn’s fragments, turned into shattered awns and disappeared in the air.

All five fingers of Chen Mu’s raised left hand were apart from one another. With a speed that the naked eye could not register, they poked the air a few times in quick succession!

Five energy vines with the thickness of fingers suddenly extended from his fingers and plunged towards the nearby Qi Feng! The tip of every light green colored energy vine was as sharp as a blade. On the other hand, the flexible body of the vine could almost transform to anything regardless of how complicated it was.

Qi Feng’s expression changed! He never thought that his foe could see through this move!

When did he see through it?

At that moment, Qi Feng had no time to think about this question. The odds were already against him. With the mistake due to this move, it meant that he completely lost his initiative! However, as the top 100 card artisan on The Black Line Star Listing, how could he just give up and surrender so easily?

This move of his, named Yarn Bait, was something he had put more than enough work on in its strategizing. This move had two very important parts, one was the baiting, the other was the retreat. If he had baited the opponent’s energy form to attack the electric net but was not prepared to retreat, it would be very likely for him to be penetrated by the energy form of his foe. Therefore, when Yarn Bait was used, he needed to be prepared for the retreat.

Although Qi Feng was shocked, he did not panic.

His flexible body shook a little, then he was prepared again to increase the distance between him and the White Commander. He kind of understood now that the close-distance combat skill of this White Commander was astonishingly strong. To fight with him in a close range would not be a good decision.

At that instant, the five green energy sword vines bloomed like flowers and spread all over place. However, not one of the energy sword vines attacked him directly!

All five of the energy sword vines stabbed on places with nothing on them.

However, these five energy sword vines that landed on nothing had changed Qi Feng’s expression significantly! The swishing sound that came from the stabbing was enough to send cold chills all over Qi Feng’s body.

These five thrusts had blocked every possible escape route for him!

Impossible!

An overwhelming feeling of shock and despair consumed him in that instant! To be able to make this move meant that the White Commander had seen through this move from the very beginning. Only someone with great insight could block every single one of escape route before he could even make the slightest move!

Does this mean that the White Commander had seen this move before? Otherwise, how could he make such an accurate judgement?

All of a sudden, innumerable doubts were raised in his mind. However, he was not going to give up just yet! Even under this situation, this circumstance of total despair, he had not given himself up yet! If he was to give up like this, he would only become a joke. Then, it would risk his position in the Yuzi Military Force. Most importantly, he would completely lose his right to pursue Miss Yumin!

Qi Feng did not seem to notice the subsequent coming of the White Commander’s right hand. His handsome face turned completely fierce as if a gush of blood was tumbling in his chest!

At the same time as when he turned, the jet stream card produced a thrusting force violently!

Puff!

One of the green energy sword vines stabbed steadily into Qi Feng’s left shoulder. The strong stab instantly pierced through Qi Feng’s left shoulder!

Qi Feng groaned, his eyes showed a slight sign of ferocity! And on his right hand, the zapping sound of the electric awn started abruptly. Then, his whole right hand was shielded by a layer of concentrated electric awns.

He refused to believe that the White Commander would be so daring as to openly kill one of the captains of the Yuzi Military Force! Despite the ferocity of the White Commander’s words, Qi Feng still firmly believed that as long as he was not a fool, he would not make such a stupid decision! This was something that he could manipulate and he need not be scared anymore! Even if he had suffered very severe injuries, as long as he didn’t die, he could survive using the medical treatments in the force!

What a shocking victory would it be of he killed the disciple of Caesar! It would tremble the Heavenly Federation! Miss Yumin would be impressed by him, and he would most certainly become the most renowned person in the force…

The pale face that was caused by the shock he received just now had suddenly turned into one that was full of life. The eyes, on the other hand, were filled with his mad desire and hysteria.

Kill him!

With the aid of the force from the energy sword vines, Qi Feng retreated quickly. Meanwhile, his right hand, which was shielded by the electric awns, was suddenly placed in front of his chest! The silver colored electric awns instantly accumulated at the index finger of his right hand, causing the silver electric awns on his index finger to look extremely dazzling!

A trail of silver light tore the air apart!

“Die! Haha!” Qi Feng growled crazily.

The distance between these two was too close, the White Commander could not possibly evade this! Thunderous Finger! The power of this hit was staggering, it was enough to rip the 4-Star Power Shield into pieces! As long as he struck a human body, it would be impossible for that person to survive. The weak human body would be torn into dozens of pieces as if it was a piece of cloth.

He saw it with his own eyes as the light of the Thunderous Finger went inside the White Commander’s body.

“Haha…”

Qi Feng who was extremely proud of himself could only feel pleasure in his heart. However, he suddenly heard the stopping of his own laughter.

What happened? He could not help but to be shocked. Instantly, intense pain could be felt from his throat. He lowered his head. Under his chin, appeared a light green colored energy blade, and on it, was fresh crimson red blood!

Impossible! His iris expanded abruptly as he stared blankly at the White Commander who was before him!

He should be dead! He should be dead…

Gradually, the image of the White Commander in front of him seem to be blurring rapidly. A word suddenly jumped into his brain: illusion!

How could this be… How could this be…

Chen Mu retracted the energy sword vines and did not even bother to glance at Qi Feng who was lying on the ground. He also did not look at the terrible wound on his left shoulder. Though he was quick in his evasion, the silver light beam still brushed his left shoulder. However, just a brush across his left shoulder was enough for it to explode to a point where it was badly mangled. Had he been struck by the silver light, perhaps he would have been shred into pieces and there would not be a full corpse left.

Qi Feng could never have imagined that Chen Mu’s initial plan was more than just a tactic to scare him.

The cold look behind the white mask made everyone feel a chill in their hearts. On the terrible wound of the White Commander’s left shoulder, blood was flowing nonstop and was dripping onto the ground. He, however, walked forward as if it did not bother him at all. Even though his footsteps were not heavy, they were loud and clear in the entire hall. Everyone, including the four captains, looked scared.

You Yin stood protectively in front of Tan Yumin and looked at him vigilantly.

“Are there any medical card artisans around?” A low and hoarse voice came out from the mask.

“You are wickedly ruthless!” said the leader of Team Two, Cao Anli. He looked angry, “How dare you kill our man so openly in Yuzi Military Force’s station? Do you see us as nothing?”

Though Cao Anli had a kind face, there was an undeniable solemness to him in this instant. The other two leaders looked at each other and slowly surrounded Chen Mu.

“You wanna fight?” Chen Mu’s voice was not loud but it stunned everyone. All three leaders stopped breathing temporarily.

“All of you get out of the way,” said Tan Yumin. The captains looked at each other and were able to relax at last. Tan Yumin walked past You Yin calmly and slowly scanned everyone in the hall. She said deeply, “What Qi Feng and the White Commander had was a clean and fair fight. The result of it was nobody else’s business! How could Yuzi Military Force be so unreasonable? If any of you cannot accept this, you could challenge the White Commander after he fully recovers. Regardless of the result, it will at least not stain the reputation of the Yuzi Military Force!”

The leaders were ashamed and the card artisans watching from aside all looked at Tan Yumin with great reverence in their eyes!

When Tan Yumin finished her sentence, she walked towards Qi Feng’s body. After staring at it for a short period of time, she suddenly touched Qi Feng’s face in a gentle manner and closed his wide opened eyes. A few drops of tears fell onto Qi Feng’s face.

Everyone appeared sorrowful. Though there was not much of a relationship between Qi Feng and them, it was hard for them not to feel sad for their peer. After all, they had worked together for such a long time.

Tan Yumin stood up, and her face had already returned to normal. She turned to You Yin and said, “I’ll leave it to you to handle Captain Qi’s funeral. If he has parents, please do take them here so that I can take care of them!”

The rest of the captains were moved by this. You Yin said deeply, “Rest assured, Miss!”

Tan Yumin looked at Chen Mu and said calmly, “Get White Commander a medical card artisan to tend to his wounds. White Commander, I will pay you a visit later.” She turned around and left afterward.

The other captains looked at Chen Mu with their gazes full of hate, before following the leaving Tan Yumin. Only then, did a few of the medical card artisans start to surround Chen Mu and tend to his wounds frantically.

Chen Mu could finally let out a breath of relief. Despite knowing that he would face troubles in this journey, he would never think of one with such intensity. Although the success of killing Qi Feng was able to build his notoriety, but he had also upset Tan Yumin and the rest. What surprised him more was that, even under these circumstances, Tan Yumin still wanted to talk to him!

Talk about what? The gold-mottled liquid-soft fungus?

Was the gold-mottled liquid-soft fungus that important to her? However, after some thoughts, Chen Mu decided there was no need to think about it any further, considering how he had already upset Tan Yumin today. But he needed to cautious if the Yuzi Military Force did not honor their promise because they currently are the strongest force in Dongrui City.

He felt safe and at peace as he enjoyed the treatments of these medical card artisans. Although the medical card artisans of the Yuzi Military Force had a much weaker standard than that of the Sue Lochiro’s, Chen Mu’s injury was not that serious, it just looked terrible.

In comparison to his peace, all these medical card artisans were extremely nervous! They already heard of the notoriety of this White Commander. In their mind, the White Commander was a devil incarnate and he did not even blink while killing someone. After seeing him kill Captain Qi Feng today, the fear in their hearts only deepened!

They treated him fearfully for an hour. After the treatment was finished, almost all of them left Chen Mu in panic.

At the same time, Tan Yumin appeared alone behind Chen Mu. All of the doors were closed almost at the same time.

In this huge hall, only Chen Mu and Tan Yumin remained.
