Chapter 66 -62 Initial 2
A black shadow zigzagged at high speed across the grassland, occasionally sparking as bullets collided with metal.
The shadow charged towards the gunman who had ceased firing.
A silvery arc swiftly passed by, and two men fell—one with a fine line of red across his throat, the other’s forehead cleanly bisected. Screams of terror followed, and then the gunfire abruptly stopped.
The last one slowly dropped to his knees.
Lin Fei gently withdrew the longsword from his forehead, shook the blade, and the crimson blood beads swiftly slid off.
A beautiful woman with an indifferent expression emerged from the bushes nearby. It was An Caiyuan.
“As a South Korean, you actually help foreigners kill your own countrymen,” Lin Fei said softly.
“Correction, I’m only half South Korean; the other half is from Hua Nation,” An Caiyuan responded, her gaze sweeping over the bodies on the ground, where the red blood had almost soaked most of the land. The pungent smell of blood grew more intense as time passed.
“That’s the fourth team down. We need at least two more teams before the mission is deemed a failure. After that, we can each head back to our respective rendezvous points. Seems I’ve underestimated your abilities,” she added.
“Had I known it was such trash, there’d be no need for any plan. Pathetically weak, just like ants ready to be crushed with a slight step,” Lin Fei said, his face showing boredom. Ever since his rebirth, he had grown increasingly contemptuous towards human life. The more people he killed, the more he felt a sense of superiority over others.
“When you’ve never killed, you place great value on every life. But when you’ve killed many, who would pay attention or feel for a species they could extinguish at will?” Lin Fei pondered.
“Just as a butcher walks into a pigsty, surrounded by the lower life forms he slaughters daily. There’s no reason for equal regard,” An Caiyuan added coolly.
“Crude, but a fitting comparison,” Lin Fei smiled and closed his longsword. “Let’s go, only two teams left. Your device that blocks mobile phone signals is running low on power. If those above discover our collaboration, we might need to kill again.”
***************
At the top floor of the Shueisha subsidiary’s Rainbow Hotel in Ping City
“Tap, tap…” The rhythmic sound of shiny boots echoed through the corridor with each step.
A ravishing girl with red hair down to her waist, wearing brown red boots and a white sleeveless t-shirt that accentuated her prominent chest, was walking confidently. Her denim shorts left her dazzlingly white stomach and long legs bare. The girl exuded a blend of innocence and seductiveness. Ahead of her walked a handsome blond-haired, blue-eyed man, dressed impeccably in a white suit and black shirt.
“This is Shueisha headquarters. If you want to move around smoothly in this city, this is a place you must visit,” the blond man said with a smile.
“Why?” the girl asked.
“Because it’s an official institution. It represents the official organization of the Inner World throughout the Hua Nation,” he explained.
The corridor was deserted, yet it was filled with a palpable, heavy aura.
“Seems like we’re not welcome here.”
“No worries. If they don’t welcome us, big brother will make them,” the girl said nonchalantly.
At the end of the corridor stood a burly buzz-cut man in army green vest, nearly two meters tall, looming over the approaching pair.
“Please come in, our chief is waiting for you inside.”
The blond man frowned slightly and looked up at the big man.
“Boom!”
A burst of red light exploded; the big man didn’t even get a chance to grunt before being blasted away, slamming against the wall and shaking the entire floor. Despite his strong physique, he was knocked unconscious by the blow.
“I don’t like looking up at people.”
The blond man smiled as he gently pushed the door open.
An elderly man with white hair sat in a leather chair opposite the door, eyeing him with a somber gaze. The room was large, with two rows of people of various statures standing on each side. In between them, three high-backed chairs were symmetrically placed, one of which was occupied.
The man in the chair, with a buzz cut and cold face, had a restrained fury in his eyes. His black outfit perfectly showcased his sturdy and symmetrical physique.

As the blond man and the girl entered one after another, the man stood up abruptly.
“You must be Shunyan, so arrogant to think you can bully my Ping City branch?”
“I am Shunyan, respected chief. For intruding so boldly, my sincerest apologies,” he replied in fluent Chinese. However, the girl behind him was clueless and didn’t understand a word.
The old man’s face turned ashen.
“I’m aware of your request, but free movement permission is out of the question. Give up on that idea!”
“Don’t be so decisive,” the blond man said with a smile. “A mere approval paper. Compared to the safety of everyone here, it’s trivial. Although I’d also rather not offend your organization.”
*************
The ground was covered in fresh blood and severed limbs.
Lin Feipeng calmly sheathed his sword, brushing off a speck of red from his face.
The four or five Hua Nation people huddled together on the side, warily and reverently watching Lin Feipeng’s every move.
“That was the last wave,” a cool female voice came from the trees behind Lin Feipeng.
“Yes, the last one. But this way, our record is overly exaggerated; the death toll on our side is very abnormal,” Lin Feipeng spoke calmly.
“Right. Let’s group these people together for the count,” An Caiyuan suggested, pointing to the group standing aside.
Lin Feipeng nodded, “Though I’d rather not kill my own people, who would have them witness our relationship? Let’s group them.” Even before his words finished, his figure dashed out swiftly.
“Run! Quick!”
“Spread out!”
Disorganized gunfire erupted.
Moments later.
Lin Fei gripped his longsword and walked out of the area with composure.
“Alright, time to head back.”
“We’ll be in touch later,” An Caiyuan said as she, too, turned to walk toward her own faction’s camp.
“We’ll be in touch later.”
“There’s something I forgot to tell you,” An Caiyuan suddenly stopped in her tracks.
“What is it?” Lin Fei asked, puzzled.
“Although our mobile phone signal blocker worked effectively, there will be no omissions on the phones of the people we killed,” An Caiyuan said with a slight smile, “You’re as good as dead.”
Lin Fei smiled and asked, “Really?”
At that moment, a line of clear text displayed on the screen of the contact phone in his pocket.
‘Congratulations on becoming the strongest member in this selection, please return immediately.’
In a distant place in Hua Nation
A spacious conference room.
“Lin Fei, the strongest participant in this public mission, killed eighty-one people from Han Fang and thirteen of our own. Status: optimal.”
“Grant him the authority to unify the local chapter. We need such a promising and powerful seedling.”
“Indeed, we must not overlook such a talent.”
“However, he also killed our own people; that isn’t good, is it? Shouldn’t we first examine his character before…”
“In that kind of situation, even our own nationals can’t be fully trusted. This is not a concern.”
**************
“Is this all the people you have in the Shueisha faction?” The blonde man casually brushed nonexistent dust off his shoulder.
The room’s floor was already covered with prostrate bodies. Tables and chairs around had been flipped over, with many marks as if from explosions. Blood splatter was everywhere.
The person in charge quivered all over, the red glow in his eyes flickering, showing both his pallor and his disadvantage in the recent conflict.
“So weak,” the man said, bored.
“Here, I’ve taken Xu Ke. I’m someone who strictly adheres to principles and rules, you know.”
At that moment, Lu Jun, the only person still standing, clutched his chest, his face ashen. For some reason, he thought of Lin Fei, who had participated in the national public mission. Every time he remembered the youth who killed with ease in the night, a chilling fear rose from the depths of his heart. And now, the only person he could think about was that youth. A faint hope began to emerge within him.
“Beep…” At that moment, the phone in Lu Jun’s shirt pocket rang.
The brief, crisp ringtone seemed particularly harsh in the quiet room. However, Lu Jun didn’t dare to answer the call, as the situation was under the control of the two foreigners who had suddenly intruded.
The blonde man picked up a document the old man had just written and was about to leave when he heard the ringtone and turned around casually.
“Why aren’t you answering the call? That’s very impolite,” he said.
Lu Jun gently took out his phone and pressed the speakerphone button.
“Hello, Lu Jun?”
“Yes, it’s me.”
“I have good news for you,” came Lin Fei’s soft and gentle voice from the phone. “As of today, I’m the head of the Ping City faction. That’s the decision from above.”
Instantly, the old man sitting in the chair first froze, then burst into hysterical laughter.
“Good, good, good!!! So, as of today, anything issued by me as the person in charge is null and void.”
Lu Jun was also stunned.
The voice on the phone continued peacefully, “By the way, I killed too many people outside this time, but there shouldn’t be a problem during the mission period, right?”
The indifference in his words caused both the blonde man and the girl to turn around.
“This faction has such a person?” the man asked, surprised.
“Another thing, last time a psychic who used fire was killed by me. He left behind a black card. Do you know what that card is?” the voice on the phone went on.
At this statement, the air in the entire room suddenly heated up.
“Bang!” The blonde man suddenly lunged over and snatched the phone from Lu Jun’s hand.
“Is there a tower symbol on that card?” he asked darkly into the phone.
“A tower shape? Yes, there is one.”
“You killed Brother Fire Snake!!” The blonde man’s face darkened.
“Oh? You mean that trash psychic who could summon Fire Snakes?” the voice on the phone teased. “Oops, sorry about that; he was accidentally killed.”
“I won’t let you off,” the blonde man said with extreme anger, “I’ll be here, in Ping City, waiting for you to return!!”
“Click.” The call was abruptly terminated.
In a remote forest airport, Lin Fei gently set down the phone. He was silent for a while.
Suddenly, he began to chuckle softly, the laughter growing louder and more maniacal and piercing.
“Interesting…..”
