Chapter 671: Chapter 396: The Martial Artist Ambushed and Killed
"What’s going on!"
"Isn’t that the Extreme Martial Artist?"
The sudden commotion startled the entire Flame Tiger Mountain Gate.
Selin, who was explaining the Divine Soul Skill to the Giant Elephant Master and others, had a serious expression as she quickly flashed out to the mountain gate steps.
The gray steps layered down straight to the mountain base, with a direct distance of several hundred meters.
A figure in a blue robe, with silver boots, lay on the gray brick ground.
Blood soaked the clothes, as if some sharp weapon had pierced through the entire abdomen, with blood continually oozing out.
A pale face devoid of color, with a weak aura that was even less than that of an ordinary adult.
Such a frail state, it’s hard to believe this is an Extreme Martial Artist.
"Iphia!?"
Selin’s face turned solemn, finding the scene somewhat unbelievable.
The accompanying Giant Elephant Master and others also had expressions of disbelief.
Who could injure an Extreme Martial Artist to such an extent?
And what about Kedemo?
As thoughts flashed by, everyone looked in the direction they came from.
In the gray brick and Green Field mountains, blood was splattered everywhere.
Suddenly feeling a chill in their hearts, Selin immediately flashed away, wanting to ask about the situation.
"Sa... Selin..."
"I beg you, please ask Chen to help, save Kedemo..."
Upon noticing the presence, Iphia’s face was pale, collapsing to the ground, pleading desperately.
Selin’s expression turned complicated.
Although she wasn’t very familiar with Iphia, seeing an Extreme in such a miserable state inevitably stirred some empathy.
Her eyes showed a flash of pity, but before she could respond.
ZZZ!
A streak of blue electric light flashed instantly, Chen Feng stepped on the gray brick, frowning at Iphia’s miserable state.
Through Perception, he could detect that she was already on the verge of death.
Though he didn’t have much interaction with Iphia, since they came to the unfamiliar Nanjiang because of his teachings, they were technically his guests.
Right now, something suddenly happened...
"Who?"
Suddenly, squinting around, Chen Feng sensed something amiss.
Perception fully amplified, covering everything like an invisible biological radar, reaching nearly a thousand meters in radius.
Invisible waves quietly appeared, and Chen Feng instantly vanished into thin air.
Boom!!
The earth trembled, thunder resounded.
A massive gray rock was shattered by his punch, debris flying everywhere.
Next.
Bzzz!
The invisible waves expanded, blood splattered everywhere.
Light folded, invisibility was broken, and a werewolf Transformer suddenly appeared.
A three-meter-tall burly figure, as if cut in half, his chest and abdomen fan-shaped, missing most of it, with his right arm and leg simultaneously shattered.
Wide eyes full of shock, visible biological armor on his body constantly transforming, gradually retreating from the werewolf form and fur.
"Ho... ho..."
Blood gushed, he fell to the ground.
Sensing his life force dissipating, Chen Feng frowned as his right arm slowly lowered.
The breakthrough brought continuous growth, temporarily making it difficult for him to perfectly control his power.
Moreover, importantly.
"Too weak."
Indifferently watching the death of the Fifth Order Peak Transformer, he glanced in another direction.
Similar invisible waves were swiftly moving away, Perception accurately capturing every point of fluctuation.
ZZZ!
Thunder and lightning arcs flashed instantly, he shot forward like a low-altitude cannonball.
At the same time, nearly a thousand meters away in the Green Field wilderness.
A figure resembling a half-human lizard leapt into the ground, seemingly disappearing.
"Monster!"
"This guy is the real monster!!"
The biological armor transformed his brown and yellow vertical pupils, filled with fear; he couldn’t care about his companion’s death or the mission’s failure.
Splutter! Splutter!
Brown soil constantly being pushed apart during stealth, maximizing the underground biological ability.
"I didn’t get too close, it’s impossible for him to still find me..."
"Even if detected, it’s impossible to chase me underground..."
Thinking secretly, his mind was filled only with suspicion, fear, and self-hypnosis.
The heat-sensing ability of the super ancient creature quietly emerged, the surrounding ground showed no signs of movement.
Until the end.
Just as he thought he was about to escape the danger zone.
The rock layer ahead flashed white-gray, almost making him think it was his illusion.
Without time to react.
Boom!!!
The ground exploded, flickering blue arc electric lights smashed everything.
Chunks of soil and debris hit his face, the stranger opened his mouth wide, looking up, seeing that their location suddenly became the center of a huge deep pit, the azure sky reflected in his eyes.
But unexpectedly.
Tap!
Leather shoes hit the ground, a young man in black stood in front like a devil.
"Speak..."
Chen Feng gazed indifferently, with red flames and blue arcs flashing simultaneously in his eyes.
"Who are you?"
The atmosphere froze.
The stranger felt as if the clouds in the azure sky stopped moving.
Breathing stiffened inexplicably, ice and fear gradually engulfing his body.
"I..."
He opened his mouth.
Intending to make excuses and find a reason.
But then.
Crunch!
As if his core suddenly shattered, blood flowed from his seven orifices, and his half-human lizard body instantly collapsed.
Chen Feng squinted, witnessing the biological armor losing its energy support, transforming into a cracked black metal battle suit.
All life force continuously dissipated at this moment, like a genetic collapse, irretrievable.
Thoughtful, he glanced back at the high-altitude cloud layers.
It seemed like nothing happened, but in that instant, he detected an anomaly in electromagnetic signals.
"Silenced, huh..."
Eyes flashing, many guesses surfaced in Chen Feng’s mind.
A Fifth Order Biological Transformer, silenced just like that.
The style inevitably reminded him of the Platinum Federation.
After all, only such a polar world or a super consortium with deep foundations can afford such a cost.
Moreover, the faces revealed after the death of these two Biological Transformation People were identical to those of the Platinum Federation people.
"However..."
With an inexplicable gaze, Chen Feng looked into the distance through Perception.
The figure disappeared, and he soon returned to the steps of the Mountain Gate.
The severely injured and dying Iphia had already fallen unconscious, supported by Selin, who looked up.
"She said she was ambushed at the outskirts of the Luo River border."
"Furthermore..."
With a serious expression, Selin said earnestly, "A Flying General Level Mechanical Transformation Person appeared."
As her words fell, Chen Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly.
A doubt quietly rose in his heart.
Would the Platinum Federation suddenly attack their own Martial Artists?
...
"Dong Bo, how are things?"
A deep voice sounded in the communication module, with a rapidly moving figure passing through the Green Field wilderness.
A silver-gray mask covered the face, and taking a closer look, one could still see he was holding a two-meter-long zippered black bag.
It seemed somewhat heavy, but no matter the terrain, he moved as if walking on flat ground.
"The prey escaped one."
He said in a low voice, the mechanical sound making it hard to distinguish gender.
The other person in the communication module was silent for a moment, then asked the reason.
"The secret technique of burning Life, and also carried a special pulse device, temporarily holding me back."
"The other person was very skilled in speed and took the opportunity to escape."
"Was anyone captured?"
"Failed." The mechanical voice carried a trace of seriousness, the silver-gray masked Transformer replied.
"She escaped to the Flame Tiger Sect."
As his words fell, the communication module went silent.
The figure on the other end seemed to restrain emotions, taking over ten seconds to calm down before asking for specific details again.
"Almost exposed, but the gene controller timely obliterated the traces."
"And they were all unfamiliar faces, so no one could have guessed it was us."
The silver-gray Transformer answered calmly, full of confidence about this.
The middle-aged figure in the communication module reluctantly nodded, giving a final few instructions.
After the communication ended, he suddenly stopped, glancing at the black bag in his hand.
A brown strand of hair was caught in the tightly sealed zipper.
He raised a finger, and it instantly disappeared.
Ensuring no traces were left, he then quietly walked out of the Green Field outskirts.
.....
Da-da!
Ten minutes later.
A flying car slowly descended, stopping in the Green Field outskirts at the Luo River border.
Looking around, one could see several deep pits dozens of meters wide, as if left by some powerful explosive shell.
The soil was charred black, green trees shattered.
Rock debris and rolling soil mixed together, evidence of a fierce battle.
"It seems... this is the place."
Selin’s tone was low as she leaped down from the co-pilot seat, her tone somewhat serious.
Chen Feng did not speak, silently stepping closer to the nearby deep pit.
This was the last information Iphia provided before fainting, demanding they come to rescue Kedemo even on her knees.
A secret technique of burning Life, defending the dignity of a Martial Artist with death.
It can be said that this top Martial Artist from the Platinum Federation demonstrated a unique courage in the final moments that set him apart from others.
It was precisely because of this that Iphia could escape the ambush and seek help near the Flame Tiger Sect.
"They really dared to trust me."
Chen Feng said calmly, a trace of complexity flashing in his heart.
He was not familiar with Kedemo and even had some conflicts with Iphia.
But unexpectedly, in the face of death, the one they chose to trust was him.
"If it were me, I would make the same choice."
Selin tilted her head, her right arm wrapped in gauze and hung on her chest, earnestly saying.
She vaguely understood the thoughts of Iphia and the others.
Teaching selflessly without considering past grievances.
This already speaks volumes, with no need for further explanations to demonstrate one’s character.
Hearing this, Chen Feng fell silent.
Shaking his head, he didn’t say more, remembering that these two were guests, he had to get the job done.
Immediately, he scanned the surroundings.
With Perception Amplification, he tried to search for traces.
Selin also looked around, or picked up soil fragments for examination.
In silence, time passed by the minute and second.
Until finally.
With the sound of a snap, Selin turned her head.
She saw Chen Feng slightly raising his hand, a wisp of Red Gold Power swirling out, picking up a piece of blood-stained soil from the deep pit.
Random fragments of internal organs were stained on it, there’s no need to say more about their source.
"We came too late...."
Selin said with a complex tone, an inexplicable feeling shared by Extreme Martial Artists.
"Perhaps, shortly after Iphia’s escape."
"He was already dead."
Chen Feng shook his head, the secret technique of burning Life was hard to sustain, not to mention the enemy was a Flying General Level Transformer.
Saving even one of them was something they didn’t need to feel guilty about.
Selin heard his implication, nodded, and sighed.
But soon, she looked around the deep pits, remembering the earlier situation.
One Flying General Level Transformer, two Fifth Rank Biological Transformation People.
Such a formation, ambushing two Extreme Martial Artists?
"Chen, who do you think did it?"
She asked in confusion.
"It looks like the style of the past actions by the Platinum Federation."
Chen Feng gently raised his hand, letting the Power slowly collect the blood-stained soil.
Upon arriving at the scene, he could confirm one thing.
This time there were definitely no traces of Evil God’s Power.
It was very likely a sudden attack by some force, not excluding the possibility of an enemy of either Iphia or Kedemo sending people to act.
However....
"Let’s wait until Iphia wakes up."
His eyes flickered, but ultimately Chen Feng did not voice a sudden guess that popped into his head.
Being bold enough to attack Iphia and the others meant they had to ensure their whereabouts before acting.
And recently, only his own teaching conference was relevant to their whereabouts and had a significant impact.
For a moment, he thought of the recent Association meeting.
At that time, someone subtly guided the topic for this reason.
