The shooter was only thirty meters away from Lu Mingfei. If an ordinary person was hit by such a shot at this distance, his head would be shattered in an instant, and blood and brain matter would splatter all over the sky.

However, the expected scene of flying brains did not occur. Everyone could only see a blurry arc of light flashing in the air, followed by the sound of the air being cut, and then the bullet was split into two and ricocheted onto the marble wall. The wall was cracked, and there was a collision sound similar to a heavy object falling to the ground.

"Fa...what happened?"

"I seemed to see a flash of light... What was that light? Did he draw his sword? Why did the bullet break in two?"

"Damn it! How could anyone possibly split a Beretta bullet at such a close distance? What a coincidence! He must have gotten lucky!"

"But... how can I cheat? Even if you ask me to, I can't swing the sword so fast!"

Everyone standing opposite Lu Mingfei had an expression of seeing a ghost in broad daylight. Although they were still not sure how the man in front of them swung his knife to split the powerful 46 hard bullet, one thing was obvious, that is, the man's pupils were lighting up at a speed visible to the naked eye. The originally light golden pupils turned into bright gold, as if an ancient candle flame was lit.

Not only did his eyes change, the dense black scales on Lu Mingfei's body also slowly gathered into his body with his heavy breathing. The power that originally belonged to him was reawakened from his body, forcefully integrating some of the residual effects of the potion. All the hybrids present could feel an invisible pressure spreading from this man.

It was like the emperor who had been sleeping for a long time was gradually waking up.

"Shoot him with more bullets. Don't be afraid. All fear comes from insufficient firepower!"

More pistols were raised, and gunshots rang out one after another. Lu Mingfei swung his sword like a tide, and the sword shadows crisscrossed in the air, leaving behind pale arcs of light. Every time he swung the sword, a hard bullet would be split in two.

As the frequency of shooting increased, Lu Mingfei's knife moves became faster and faster. His knife seemed to turn into a beam of light, and only the sound could be heard but not seen. The clear sound of the collision between the blade and the bullet resounded throughout the underground space, and the vibration of the blade tearing through the air at a high speed was like a sharp ghost's howl.

"Speedy slash." Chu Zihang looked at Lu Mingfei's back and suddenly said.

"What?" Caesar was stunned.

"The swift slash is the ultimate form of Iai. Lu Mingfei and I once learned Iai and sword-drawing techniques in the Kendo Hall of the Children's Palace, but we only learned the most basic parts. It is rumored that the ultimate form of Iai can cut like the wind, which means that a swing of the sword in an instant is like blowing up a whole piece of wind." Chu Zihang said.

Caesar activated the Kamaitachi and indeed heard the sound of wind stirred up by the blade in front of Lu Mingfei. The bullet seemed to be blocked by an invisible wind wall, and the hard bullet head was torn apart by the sharp wind blade.

"I'm really curious about the kendo gym you mentioned. Could it be that there is an old sword master hiding there? He actually trained two monsters like you!" Caesar clicked his tongue.

"Our director is just an ordinary seventh-dan. It's probably difficult for him to become a swordsman in his lifetime." Chu Zihang shook his head and said honestly, "If the director were here, he would definitely be in a complicated mood. Lu Mingfei seems to have grasped the ultimate meaning of Iai, but strangely, his movements don't conform to the rules of Iai. He has simplified the steps of visualizing, breathing, blood vibration, and sheathing the sword, but the movements are quite coherent. This is more difficult than a single Iai. It's like... a killing sword with no gaps."

"So you're talking about a simplified version of a special move that eliminates the pre-swing and post-swing? Isn't that cheating?" Caesar said, "Cheating is a good thing. Regardless of the rules, any move that works is a good move. The current situation is muddied. Keep an eye on that guy from the Ghost Clan. I'll protect Miss Zhen and work with Lu Mingfei to find the right moment to break the deadlock."

Chu Zihang nodded slowly.

The ghost messenger didn't care that the two men were openly discussing their escape plan in front of him. His eyes were fixed on Lu Mingfei, or to be more precise, on the phantom knife in Lu Mingfei's hand. The knife moved so fast without any pause that he wondered if he was dazzled or seeing things.

"Avalokitesvara... Is that the famous Avalokitesvara?" The messenger of the fierce ghosts murmured in disbelief.

"You also recognize that knife?" Caesar asked doubtfully.

"How could anyone in the Fierce Ghost Tribe not recognize that sword?" This was the umpteenth time the Fierce Ghost Tribe's envoy had been surprised today, but this time was even more incredible than the previous ones combined. "How is it possible... how could this sword, which had disappeared for fifteen years, be in his hands? You know, whoever possesses this sword... is on par with the Dragon King!"

In a corner where no one noticed, Changchuan Xiaofulong stared at Lu Mingfei, who was swinging his knife non-stop, with a sinister look. What he cared about was not that Lu Mingfei might bring the sharp knife light closer to his subordinates, but he was angry that this group of useless people with guns could not do anything to a kid holding a knife.

"Useless! What a bunch of useless people! They are useless at the critical moment! I have to come here in person. Thanks to that sage who gave me supreme power!"

He looked at the cage welded shut by Chu Zihang, pulled out a tube of colorful medicine from his arms, a flash of madness in his eyes, he stuffed the glass tube into his mouth, bit the glass hard, and sucked the colorful liquid inside into his throat without leaving a drop, like a blood-thirsty leech.

Among the people of the Mountain God Society, Beretta pistols, submachine guns and short-barreled shotguns were all taken out and used together. Dozens of bullets were fired at the same time, and the barrage of bullets formed a dense net, like a swarm of subsonic bees swooping down.

No matter how fast Lu Mingfei's slashing was, it was impossible for him to split so many bullets one by one. It was definitely not something that could be done by human power.

But under everyone's gaze, Lu Mingfei "disappeared".

Like a ghost that disappeared out of thin air, it was swinging a knife in the last second, and disappeared in a flash the next second. Everyone was still in disbelief, and the web of death woven by the black barrage was suddenly torn into a conspicuous crack, and a ghostly shadow rushed out from it.

Lu Mingfei didn't need to split all the bullets, he just needed to cut through those that blocked his way.

In a flash, Lu Mingfei had already rushed into the crowd, and several submachine guns and hunting rifles that posed a greater threat were instantly split into two. The smooth cuts on the metal gun bodies looked like they were cut by lasers.

"Damn it, this guy might not even be human, so weird!"

"My gun was also cut off, but I couldn't even catch his shadow. We had no power to fight back!"

"Calm down. The situation is still favorable for us. If we can't defeat him, we can start by exploiting his weaknesses!"

The one who suggested starting from the flaw was the guy who shot at Noda Hisashi but indirectly killed Noda Koji. He aimed his gun at Noda Hisashi not far away again. Since the enemy was invulnerable, he used the hostages to find the opponent's flaw.

But just before firing, he found that he couldn't pull the trigger.

It was not until the arm holding the pistol fell to the ground and the severe pain hit him that he realized with horror that his entire arm had been chopped off without him knowing.

Chapter 250 Lu Mingfei, a trapped beast’s fight!

Injury and weakness are only temporary, a lion is still a lion as long as it finds its teeth.

The mountain gods provoked someone they shouldn't have provoked, and they awakened a lion with guns and blood.

Lu Mingfei stood between the man who fired the gun and Noda Hisashi, and Guanze Masamune ruthlessly cut off the man's arm. At this moment, he could easily cut off metal bullets and guns. Cutting off an arm was no different from cutting a piece of fragile paper.

Blood splattered all over the ground. The man clutched his severed arm and screamed in belated realization, his expression grim and painful. Members of the Mountain God Society surrounded him, brandishing swords, holding pistols and submachine guns, and shouting threats and curses at Lu Mingfei. It seemed the man held considerable influence within the Mountain God Society.

"What are they shouting?" Caesar looked at the restless crowd and frowned slightly.

"They told Mr. Mingfei to get away from Mr. Fujiwara. They told him they would not let anyone here go if he was killed," Zhen translated for Caesar. "The man who shot and killed Shou's brother seemed to have the last name Fujiwara. That's what they called him. Besides calling him Mr. Fujiwara, some people also called him Vice President."

Aso Makoto looked at the sad Noda Shou and her heart ached. She wanted to go up and comfort him, but she knew that the current situation did not allow her to be willful, so she could only secretly pray that Shou could survive the sadness and not collapse.

"Mr. Vice President?" Caesar was stunned. "Is that Fujiwara the vice president of the Mountain God Association?"

"Caesar, doesn't the surname 'Fujiwara' sound familiar to you?" Chu Zihang whispered. "Remember? That night in the toy store where Miss Zhen worked, didn't Miss Ying kill someone who attacked us? She even brought the body back to the store. That person's surname also seemed to be Fujiwara."

When Chu Zihang reminded him, Caesar immediately remembered it and was actually very impressed.

That night he was in the toy store, drinking the common people's coffee prepared by Aso Makoto and playing with the long-lost Abelul. Suddenly, something unexpected happened and someone attacked the toy store. Not long after Yabuki Sakura left the store, she carried back a dead body and threw it on the ground. The man had the badge and tattoo of a Buddha dog... Now these guys also have the Buddha dog logo on their bodies, which is the symbol of the Mountain God Society.

I remember that guy's name was... Fujiwara Toru! Yes, that guy's last name was Fujiwara. That night, on the streets of Kabukicho, there was a fight between two major gangs, and that man named Fujiwara Toru was the instigator! He seemed to be the third in command of the Yamagami-kai.

So this Vice President, Mr. Fujiwara, should be the brother of the deceased Toru Fujiwara, right?

It turned out that the three of them had been targeted as early as then. Caesar's face darkened, and he suddenly realized that there was an invisible spear hanging over their heads. From the sneak attack that night, to Lu Mingfei's arrest after they escaped from the bottom of the sea, to this auction... all of this was premeditated. The other party's eyes were always fixed on them, one after another, and they fell into one trap!

So everything is connected, because Caesar and the others came for the Lenin under the Abyss, and the Lenin was intentionally sunk into the Abyss by someone. This person is bound to pay special attention to Caesar and the other two... This guy's mind is so deep and terrifying. A conspiracy that has lasted for twenty years and has not ended yet, using the whole of Japan as a chessboard, and the Snake Eight Families, the Oni Clan and the commissioners of Kassel Academy as chess pieces.

If we infer this way, even if Takama-ga-hara and those corpse guards are buried, the matter is far from over. There must be a shocking conspiracy behind this!

Thinking of this, Caesar and Chu Zihang looked at each other at the same time. They both felt that there was a huge, invisible black curtain covering their heads. Behind the black curtain was a pair of dark eyes, staring at them with a gloomy look.

"You will die. You will all pay for my brother's life. That master will not let you go. The Mountain God Society is nothing compared to his power." Vice President Fujiwara stared at Lu Mingfei, clutching his broken shoulder, his face twisted with pain. "None of you can escape. That master..."

However, before he could finish his words, a bright blade flashed between his eyes, and the vice-chairman of the Mountain God Society was cut in two from head to toe. He looked with despair, only to see a face as cold as death.

Lu Mingfei stood in front of Noda Hisashi, facing the people of the Mountain God Society with his sword drawn. He did not turn around, but spoke slowly.

"Noda-kun, it must be very painful. I know you must be in pain now. After all, he is the brother you admire so much... But now is not the time to be sad. There are still so many enemies. We are not out of danger yet, and neither is Miss Zhen." Lu Mingfei said softly, "Don't you always say that a man's path is destined to be bumpy? Noda-kun, you won't fall down here, right?"

"Brother Mingfei..." Noda Shou looked up, and through his tearful eyes, he seemed to see the figure standing in front of him, as majestic as a mountain.

"Yes, Brother Mingfei!" Noda Shou wiped away his tears fiercely and said heavily, "I will not fall here. If I give up here, Captain Koji's soul will never forgive me! I am the man who will become the third generation of the Noda Group. I will protect the Noda Group and I will also protect Miss Zhen with all my strength... I swear!"

"Very good." Lu Mingfei nodded. "Hide your sadness for now. Wait until Miss Zhen and the others are in a safe place and this matter is over. Then you can find a deserted corner or curl up under the covers and let it out. Cry and make a scene. After you've cried and made a scene... let your grief become your strength."

"Yes!" Noda Hisashi nodded heavily like a man.

"Watch the opportunity and follow Caesar and the others to break out. Stay close behind the boss and senior brothers and protect Miss Zhen." Lu Mingfei instructed quickly.

"Yes, I understand." Noda Shou nodded and asked, "But what about you, brother? Aren't you going with us?"

"You go first." Lu Mingfei shook his head slowly, his tone calm and his voice low, "My intuition tells me that things are not that simple."

"The tables have turned now." Caesar stared at the Ghost Emissary. "You were nearly killed by your traitors. We saved you, and your life is in our hands. You should be clear about your position now, right?"

"Tell your gang members not to resist. We won't kill you. Once we've eliminated all the members of the Mountain God Society and successfully escaped from this underground auction house, we'll naturally let you go," Caesar said. "I swear on the name of the Gattuso family."

Chu Zihang glanced at Caesar. He remembered that every time this guy swore using the Gattuso family name, it was not convincing, because in his eyes, "Gattuso" probably meant the same thing as "dog shit" - Caesar always felt that he had a shitty surname.

The envoy of the Demonic Clan was silent for a moment before saying, "Caesar-kun and Chu Zihang-kun, you may leave. We will not hold Makoto Aso and the Noda Clan hostage or disturb them any further."

He paused and looked at Lu Mingfei, "But I must take him away with me... He may be hiding a secret that has troubled us ghosts for more than a decade."

"Are you referring to Guanshi Zhengzong?" Chu Zihang asked.

"Yes," the ghost herald nodded. "That was a vanished sword. For fifteen years, no one thought it would ever appear again. Yet, I actually saw it today, in the hands of the man the Dragon King specifically requested. This was all destined... Such a coincidence is impossible!"

"Damn it, it's that knife again! The Sheqi Eight Clan also seem to care about that knife!" Caesar asked in a low voice, "Where did Lu Mingfei get that knife from? Chu Zihang, do you know?"

"I heard him say that it was given to him by the owner of a Japanese restaurant, which is not far from my home," said Chu Zihang.

"A Japanese restaurant?" The ghost messenger was stunned. "In China? But how could it be a Japanese restaurant... What's the name of the owner who gave him the knife?"

"Seems to be……"

Before Chu Zihang could finish his words, he was suddenly interrupted by a strong beating sound.

The sound was like a heartbeat, but much faster than a heartbeat, like the drumbeats reaching a climax, becoming denser and heavier.

Caesar opened the Kamaitachi's territory and found that the unusual sound came from behind them. He turned around suddenly and was surprised to find that the sound was indeed a heartbeat, and the heartbeat came from Nagakawa Xiaofulong.

The moment Caesar saw this guy, he was shocked because this guy looked so abnormal.

He collapsed in the iron cage, his eyes rolled back until only the whites were visible. He covered his chest tightly with one hand and held the iron cage fence tightly with the other hand. His body twisted and twitched in pain, and his body temperature rose rapidly, like a patient with epilepsy.

Caesar had never heard such a strange and frantic heartbeat. Not only was it a heartbeat, he could even hear the throbbing of blood rushing through the walls of his veins. The creature in the cage was in an extremely strange state. It seemed as if something in his body was rapidly awakening, and something else was also rapidly dying.

Changchuan Xiaofulong suddenly raised his head and opened his eyes.

What a horrible face it was, bloody and mangled, scales piercing the skin and growing wildly, a distorted expression and blood dripping, and eyes, a pair of ferocious golden pupils, a look as fierce as that of a beast that had lost its mind.

"Be careful!" Caesar exclaimed and warned everyone.

The people around the iron cage suddenly turned around, and everyone's faces changed drastically when they saw Nagakawa Xiaofulong in the cage. Chu Zihang's Murasame was instantly unsheathed and placed horizontally at his side. Aso was so scared that she almost covered her mouth and screamed. She retreated behind Caesar... Only the messenger of the fierce ghosts stayed where he was, looking at a glass test tube in the cage in disbelief.

There was still a trace of colored liquid left in the test tube.

"Is this... a ghost potion?" The ghost messenger looked up at Changchuan Xiaofulong, whose appearance had changed drastically.

A hand suddenly stretched out from the bars of the iron cage, and before the messenger of the fierce ghosts could dodge, he was pierced in the chest by a finger. It was called a finger, but Changchuan Xiaofulong's nails had turned into sharp bone claws. He suddenly turned into a beast, and his reaction speed and strength suddenly increased to an astonishing level. In an instant, he pierced through the chest of the flesh in front of him and easily pierced the messenger's heart.

The messenger of the fierce ghosts fell in a pool of blood before he could even make a sound. The monster transformed by Changchuan Xiaofulong retracted his claws and licked the blood on the tips of his claws with enjoyment. Then he grabbed the fence of the iron cage with his two claws and exerted force with his arms. The scales on his arms made a rustling sound of friction. In front of everyone's eyes, the fence of the iron cage was twisted by the incredible force, bending and deforming, and making a teeth-grinding distortion sound.

The monster is about to break out of its cage.

"Lord Nagakawa! Lord Nagakawa!"

The members of the Mountain God Society roared with morbid cheers as they watched the monster kill the demon messengers with one blow.

Lu Mingfei chopped down the guy who was shouting the loudest. He looked at the dragon-like Changchuan Xiaofulong with a serious look in his eyes.

"Boss, senior brother, now is the time. You leave first and leave this guy to me!" Lu Mingfei shouted.

"You're kidding!" Caesar's Dick Tudor roared, twisting his wrist. "How could we leave you alone to deal with something like this? There's a limit to how much you can be arrogant. Last time, you said the exact same thing, 'Leave it to me,' and you were captured and brought here, caged, and auctioned off... Are you going to do the same thing again this time? Where should we find you next time? A strip club or a gigolo?"

"You must leave. Now is the best time!" Lu Mingfei said, "Don't forget, Miss Zhen and the Noda Group are still here. We don't know if there are any gangsters hiding in the dark outside. Someone must protect them and get them out. The people here are targeting me. Don't worry, I promise I can handle it this time!"

Caesar turned his head and looked at Aso Shin, who was already frightened. He silently exchanged a glance with Chu Zihang, gritted his teeth, strode forward, and waved Dick Tudo in front of the passage blocked by the Mountain God Society, cutting a gap in the human wall weakened by Lu Mingfei.

"Let's go!" Caesar led Aso Makoto and the Noda group into the dark corridor.

Chu Zihang walked at the end and was responsible for guarding the rear. Before entering the passage, he looked at Lu Mingfei deeply. Lu Mingfei nodded heavily at him. Chu Zihang also nodded and left at the end of the team.

Lu Mingfei looked around. In front of him was a hideous monster, and behind him was a dense crowd of people, blocking all the passages. This underground building seemed to have turned into an arena with no way up and no door down.

After Caesar and the others left, the other gangs except the Mountain God Society finally took out their knives and guns. It turned out that they did not have the same goal as the Ghost Clan's messengers from the very beginning... Like Changchuan Xiaofulong, they were directly ordered by that adult, and their first target was Lu Mingfei. They had been waiting for a good opportunity since their appearance.

And now, the time is ripe, and it is time for the evil spirits to show their ferocious faces.

Chapter 251 Mantis Cicada and Yellow Bird

In the deepest part of the underground building, the sounds of gunfire and roaring were endless. The sounds echoed in the dark and long corridor, like the screams of evil spirits coming from the depths of hell, which made people shudder.

"Is everything really going to be alright?" Masao asked worriedly, listening to the huge commotion coming from behind. "Isn't it too much to leave Mr. Mingfei there alone? There are so many people, they have guns, and there's that... terrifying monster."

Aso Zhen was talking about Nagakawa Kofulun. When she saw Nagakawa Kofulun's appearance after he turned into a dragon, she was so scared that she almost screamed. He was covered with scales and armor, his nails were as sharp as knives, and his pupils emitted a terrifying golden light. He was scarier than a beast... Aso Zhen was also scared when she saw Lu Mingfei's dragon state fading, but at that time Lu Mingfei could still recognize the complete human form.

But now, only the outline of a human figure remains of Changchuan Xiaofulong, and his physical features in every aspect are more like... a dragon!

"Since Lu Mingfei said to leave it to him, then just leave it to him without worry," Caesar whispered. "Don't worry, he's very strong and quite reliable. This is widely recognized in our school."

Although Caesar comforted Makoto Aso in this way, only Chu Zihang could hear the faint reluctance in his words.

Caesar was a man of immense pride, and as the leader of a team, he was naturally reluctant to leave Lu Mingfei, a team member and junior, behind to cover the rear. However, a mature team always had a clear division of labor, just like in battle: someone was responsible for holding the line, while someone else had to be responsible for protecting the elderly, the weak, women, and children. Since this was Lu Mingfei's decision, Caesar could only respect it.

"Yes, yes, you really don't have to worry. That's Brother Mingfei, a real man." Noda Shou said, "When a man says, 'Don't worry, leave it to me, I'll take care of everything,' all we have to do is trust him unconditionally. You know, a man's shoulders are very strong and can carry a mountain. A man like Brother Mingfei can easily carry seven or eight mountains!"

"Kotobuki..." Aso Makoto looked at Noda Kotobuki's profile. She could see that the boy was not as optimistic as he appeared.

There were still traces of tears in the corners of Noda Hisashi's eyes. The childishness on his face faded a little, replaced by sadness. The sadness of an adult covered his entire face, and his eyes were filled with deep worry for Lu Mingfei.

After passing through the corridor where the Mountain God Association was held, they arrived at the venue hall of the previous auction. This corridor happened to be the route that the etiquette ladies used to push the exhibits onto the stage, and the exit was on the left side of the booth.
