Chapter 402 - 15 in 1

Chen Xiaobei was right.

Deep into the night, Kitagawa Heya sent him a text, informing him that they had finished chanting the incantations 8,100 times.

That would have meant that Demonic Fox was now officially brainwashed.

But what the Emperor God and the others did not know was that Demonic Fox's consciousness was awakened by Chen Xiaobei. All the hard work they put into chanting that invocation over 7,000 times was all but a waste.

…

In Sovereign Divine Sect.

Demonic Fox was locked in a room heavily guarded by about a dozen Sovereign Divine Sect disciples. Even the walkway was heavily guarded.

These were all the True Nirvana cultivated elites.

They would notice if there was even a slight disturbance inside and outside the house! Even a fly would not be able to get in!

In a secluded corner from afar, Kitagawa Heya and Chen Xiaobei who was in a disguise stood watch.

"Bro Bei! You've already seen it for yourself! There's no way we could get her out of that house!"

Kitagawa Heya was on tenterhooks.

"These disciples' cultivation may not be high but there's a lot of them! If you fight them, they will immediately send out a warning and the Emperor God as well as the other three Grand Elders will come!"

"Don't worry, I will not attack!" Chen Xiaobei shook his head and said, "I am still waiting for Nikkawa Uchu and Tenshou God to complete their transaction!"

"What is your plan?" Kitagawa Heya asked. "If you don't attack them, how are you ever going to even get near the house?"

Chen Xiaobei shot a smile at him and took out the Nightstalker Outfit from the Infinite Space Ring. Putting it on, he was immediately camouflaged with the dark skies.

"My god! Bro Bei! You can become invisible?! Now that's incredible!"

Kitagawa Heya rubbed his eyes and blinked.

"Did you think I came here as a joke? Of course, I have something up my sleeve." Chen Xiaobei replied.

"That's true! Bro Bei is a legend; and simply could not be measured by human standards!"

Kitagawa Heya thought for a while then asked, "But, how are you going to get Tochigi Hyokitsune out? Does she know how to become invisible too?"

"She doesn't. But, I'll come up with something. Since I'm here, I can get her out!" Chen Xiaobei said, full of confidence.

"Even so, I still have one reservation!"

Kitagawa Heya said, "The big wedding is tomorrow. If you take Tochigi Hyokitsune away, who is going to take her place and marry Nikkawa Okazaka? Without the Holy Lady of Divine Sovereign Sect, the deal between Nikkawa Uchu and the Tenshou would be void!"

"That is not something you have to worry about. I already have a plan for that!" Chen Xiaobei did not want to waste time explaining so he prodded him, "Hurry up! All you need to do is figure out how to get Little Fox's room door opened. That's all you have to do!"

"Yes… Yes master…"

Kitagawa Heya nodded quietly.

Even though he obeyed Chen Xiaobei's orders, he was still disconcerted. How was Chen Xiaobei supposed to leave with the Demonic Fox when he did not have the ability to become invisible? How was Chen Xiaobei able to find a replacement for Demonic Fox?

These two problems were not easily solved. It could even affect the events that were supposed to take place after!

But, with everything else considered, the final decision was still in Chen Xiaobei's hands. Since Chen Xiaobei had already made up his mind, Kitagawa Heya would just have to go along with it.

…

"Grand Elder, why are you here? After chanting for so long, you should be getting a good night's rest! The wedding tomorrow will be another long day of work!"

The two disciples standing at the door asked politely.

"I'm a little concerned so I've come to see the Holy Lady." Kitagawa Heya then ordered invoking the authority of a Grand Elder, "Let me in!"

"Er…" The disciples at the door looked uncomfortable.

"The Emperor God had decreed that no one was allowed to enter without his permission…"

"Who says I want to come in?" Kitagawa Heya retorted, an obvious agitation in his voice. "Open the door so I can take a look! Are you suggesting that a Grand Elder like me will do anything to harm the Holy Lady?"

"No! No! No! That's not what I meant!"

The disciples shook their heads as they opened the door, trying to salvage the situation.

"Grand Elder has always been loyal to the Emperor God. You will never do anything like that! Go ahead and look! You can even come in if you want to! We will not stop you!"

"Hmph! Don't even try! I'm not going in!"

Kitagawa Heya peeked into the house and then said, "She's still in there. You can close the door now!"

"Yes!"

The disciples grinned widely at him and then closed the door, both thinking that this Grand Elder was indeed loyal to a fault. He obeyed the decree and did not enter the room. What a rare breed!

Little did they know, when they opened the door earlier, another person had secretly snuck in right under their noses!

The layout of the house was simple, like those in the ancient times. There was a simple bed and table, and no sign of electronics or communication devices.

Demonic Fox was wearing the same white outfit, sitting by the window with her chin in her palm, her long dark hair cascading down her back as she looked out into the dark, deep in thoughts.

She looked like a snow lotus blooming in the dark. Quiet, elegant, and pure.

"Little Fox! What are you daydreaming about? Were you thinking of me?"

A flippant voice rang inside her head. A leery smile flashed across her mind.

"Pftt! Please! Who would be thinking about a creep like you?!" Demonic Fox said told herself as to avoid those who were guarding outside from hearing her.

"Don't you miss me? Oh, how sad! Does that mean that you won't try to stop me if I leave?" Chen Xiaobei chuckled.

"Are you here? Where? Stop joking around! Come out!"

Demonic Fox got up abruptly. Her large beautiful eyes widened as she searched her surroundings.

The truth was, she had been thinking about Chen Xiaobei the whole night, waiting for him.

She knew that everything she worked so hard for the past twenty years amounted to nothing.

Bieng reliant on her own strength did not help her get out of this hellhole nor avenge her family!

She had completely given up on her future and had even lost the slightest hope!

There is no greater sorrow than a heart that never rejoices. What is the difference between the dead and a person who has no hope for tomorrow?

If Chen Xiaobei had not spoken to her yesterday, she might have had chosen to end this wretched life by committing suicide.

It was Chen Xiaobei who given her a sliver of hope!

Hope that this dynamite of a man would be able to do what Nikkawa Okazaka and the Emperor God were unable to do!

"Chen Xiaobei! Please stay! I'm begging you… Please don't leave me… Please don't abandon me…"

Chen Xiaobei was nowhere in sight. Her eyes reddened and large droplets of tears streamed down her cheeks.

"Silly fox! I was just teasing you! Why'd you cry?"

Realizing Chen Xiaobei's heart had softened, he quickly made himself visible.

"Chen Xiaobei!"

A wide smile spread across Demonic Fox's lips as she leaped onto Chen Xiaobei and hugged him tightly!

She hugged him very very tightly.

"Alright, alright. I haven't left, right? Calm down. You're hugging me to death!"

Chen Xiaobei gently caressed the top of Demonic Fox's head. He wanted to laugh. She hugged him so tightly that her full breasts were pressed against his chest, nearly suffocated him.

"Why are you being so mean?! I hate you!" Demonic Fox muttered as she buried her face into his shoulder.

In contrary to what she said, her grip still did not loosen.

Before Chen Xiaobei appeared, she felt like a feather drifting in the vast sea, helpless and hopeless, constantly being swept away with the current.

Taking refuge in Chen Xiaobei's arm felt like finding a harbor on shore.

For the longest time, her quiet and lonely soul had finally found a safehouse and the comfort of a sense of security!

How could she let go?

Chen Xiaobei did not push her away but continued to stroke her head gently, allowing her time to gather herself.

After a good ten minutes, she finally let go of Chen Xiaobei.

Demonic Fox wiped the corner of her reddened eyes and questioned in her mind, "How are you planning to sneak me out? I heard that without the Divine King's order, I'm banned to even set foot outside this room!"

"No one can stop me from entering! And likewise, no one and keep me from leaving either."

Chen Xiaobei grinned.

"Alright, then let's go!" Demonic Fox gathered herself, set her emotions aside and said, "I cannot stand being here in this stupid place any second longer!"

"Wait, there's something I need to do first!" Chen Xiaobei winked.

He reached into the Infinite Space Ring and whipped out a wooden mechanic box.

Creak! Creak! Creak!

The box made gear-like, mechanical noise as it unfolded.

Through a series of motion as its mechanics started unfolding, the box transformed into a wooden puppet.

Five meters tall and with a mushroom-shaped head, it was neckless and had a stark contrast of longer arms and shorter legs. Frankly speaking, it was not pretty.

"That…" Demonic Fox stared, her jaw dropped. "What the hell is that? It's hideous!"

"Its name is No.8 Luban! It's a Spiritual Item!" Chen Xiaobei said.

"Oh… why did you take it out?" Demonic Fox asked.

"If I'm going to be taking Nikkawa Okasaka's future wife, I need something to compensate him!"

Chen Xiaobei threw a sly grin over his shoulder.

"Compensate him?" Demonic Fox raised an eyebrow. "With this… ugly wooden puppet? Nikkawa Okasaka is not a dunce. Why on earth would he willingly marry a puppet?"

"Come over here and place your hand on No.8 Luban." Chen Xiaobei instructed.

"What are you going to do?" Demonic Fox was puzzled. She placed her hand on the puppet and exclaimed, "Oh wait… this really is a Spiritual Item! I can feel its Spiritual Attribute communicating with me!"

"Still surprised? The real show has yet to begin!"

Chen Xiaobei laughed as he took out the Green Jade Gourd.

He opened the lid and poured Spiritual Qi onto No.8 Luban.

No.8 Luban kept absorbing the Spiritual Qi until it consumed nearly 1,000 worth of Spiritual Stones'.

Haaaaaaa!

Golden rays of light filled No.8 Luban as it started to change its form.

Once the light gradually dimmed, No. 8 Luban totally transformed into something so different!

"My god… This… How is this possible…"

Demonic Fox's jaw fell. She could not believe what she was seeing.

The repulsive wooden puppet had literally just morphed into her!

It felt like she was looking at a mirror reflection. From head to toe, everything was exactly the same. Even Demonic Fox herself could not tell the difference.

"So… I'm not that mean to Nikkawa Okazaka, right? I gave him a fiancé that looks exactly like the one he had!"

Chen Xiaobei sniggered.

Demonic Fox threw Chen Xiaobei a glare at the corners of her eye and said, "You're giving them a wooden puppet! You could've at least given him a blown up doll or something. That would be you know, softer at least!"

"Er…" Chen Xiaobei burst out in laughter. "You little fox! You really are dirty minded, aren't you? Do you really expect Nikkawa Okasaka to hump No. 8 Luban? Otherwise, why should its softness or hardness make any difference?"

"Don't say that I didn't warn you! Nikkawa Okasaka is a sex maniac." Demonic Fox said with a look of disgust. "As long as the woman is beautiful, Nikkawa Okasaka will find a way to stick his dick into her. He has already been eyeing me for quite a while now, I know that. I can honestly bet the first thing he'd do is screw No. 8 Luban!"

"You're worried about No.8 Luban?" Chen Xiaobei smiled. "Don't worry. Nikkawa Okasaka has already joined the Eunuchs team!"

"What happened?" Demonic Fox was curious.

"I stumbled upon Nikkawa Okasaka pinning a girl down so I kicked him in the nuts!"

Chen Xiaobei laughed.

"Good one! That piece of trash deserves it!" Demonic Fox approved.

"Speaking of which, I think this could also be your lucky chance." Chen Xiaobei said in a serious manner. "The girl I saved is called Phantom Rain. She is Tenshou Dog's closet disciple. We may need her help when we're plotting the revenge."

"Phantom Rain? I know her!" Demonic Fox was shocked. "Will she help us?"

"She might…" Chen Xiaobei shrugged. "Even though she never said it aloud, I have a feeling she's on my side."

"Could it be that she's got other motives?" Demonic Fox cautioned. "I mean, how could someone with that level of cultivation possibly get pinned down by Nikkawa Okasaka?"

"I don't think so." Chen Xiaobei replied. "Phantom Rain might be assigned to another mission that would need her to get close to Nikkawa Okasaka. She's an American S.H.I.E.L.D agent!'

"S.H.I.E.L.D?!" Demonic Fox was astonished. "From my understanding, S.H.I.E.L.D is a secret service organization set up by a group of mutants. Every single one of them have some sort of special abilities. It's safe to even assume that they are one of the world's strongest special forces!"

"Oh! Well well, who knew that a gullible fox like you could've know so many secrets?"

"Um… hello, you're the dumb one." Demonic Fox chaffed. "I've already scanned through the wedding guest list. The Americans are sending a high-profiled officer to represent them at the wedding. His fellow coworker is a S.H.I.E.L.D bodyguard!"

"An American high-profiled officer?" Chen Xiaobei shrugged and said nonchalantly. "Whatever, I'm taking you with me. Why should I be bothered that they're enjoying, attending some wedding of wooden puppets?"

"Wait!" A question suddenly popped up in Demonic Fox's mind. "Can No.8 Luban move? It's not going to work if it can't!"

"Do you seriously have to ask?" Chen Xiaobei raised his eyebrows and smiled. "I'm in control of its every movement. I can even make it sit or lie in positions that would satisfy Nikkawa Okasaka!"

"Pft! You pervert! Thinking of dirty stuff again." Demonic Fox thought for a while then quipped another question. "Hang on, is No.8 Luban a male? Then wouldn't they…"

"Do you Fujoshis like to watch gay men do it?" Chen Xiaobei looked at Demonic Fox quizzically.

"Hey! You're the one who's a Fujoshi!" Demonic Fox retorted. "Alright, enough joking around. Let's leave No.8 Luban and go!"

"Alright. We'll talk after." Chen Xiaobei was smiling as he took out the Returning Bracelet from the Infinite Space Ring.

A silver light was projected and lit up the house.

"What… what kind of hacking technology is this?"

"Why don't come with me and find out?"

Chen Xiaobei tugged her hand and walked into the silver light with her.

…

Zuuup!

Chen Xiaobei and Demonic Fox breezed out of the silver projection as its surface was rippling like waves.

They found themselves no longer in that small wooden house but instead, breathing in the freshest air in a forest!

"My god! I'm out! I really escaped the Divine Sovereign Sect!"

Demonic Fox twirled a little dance, chirping like a bird that had tasted its freedom of the cage.

"This is incredible! Chen Xiaobei.. what are you? You're like a deity! There's nothing you can't do! I really, really adore you!"

"Don't just say it. Put it into action." Chen Xiaobei winked. "If you really do adore me that much, why didn't you take me like a hero, you know, hug my legs and tell me 'I love you'?"

"Go kill yourself." Demonic Fox said, "You are more like my zero! Z-E-R-O! Zero!"

"Hey, how could you say such things to the one who just saved your ass? Wanna get whacked?"

Chen Xiaobei threw her a look.

"You are only halfway there to being that hero who saved me." Demonic Fox's tone turned serious. "Only after you've helped me avenge my family that you will become that ultimate person who saved me. Then, you're more than welcomed to do whatever you want to me!"

As she spoke, she peeked shyly at Chen Xiaobei from under her long lashes.

This woman was a natural at charming. As a matter of fact, she picked up the art of charming much younger. With eyes as sparking as the spring waters, lashes full and long, it casted a gentle glow and charm to her.

If it were any other man, they would have have completely melted under her flirtatious gaze.

"It's too much work being your savior!"

Chen Xiaobei was not about to just cave in.

"Your enemy is a demigod! I might even lose my life…"

Demonic Fox bit her lip and said, "If anything happens to you, I will die with you."

"Aww… Am I hearing it right? You're saying that you are willing to sacrifice yourself for me?"

"You're quite right." Demonic Fox said, "I know my enemy is terrifying, one not to mess with. It wasn't even your duty to help me. But yet you chose to, and helping me is comradeship!"

"Alright, hey chill. Loosen up. Things aren't as bad as you think they are!"

Chen Xiaobei said, "All you need is a little bit of patience. Give me some time to get ready. It's not impossible to kill the Tenshou Dog."

"Really… ? Can you really kill him?"

Demonic Fox got all worked up suddenly. "You know what. Don't worry. I promise you I'll be really patient. As long as you're here helping me, I'm willing to wait for however long it takes!"

"Besides being patient, I'm going to also need you to listen to my instructions," said Chen Xiaobei.

"No problem!"

Demonic Fox immediately vowed, "Starting from now, if you direct me to the east, that is where I'll go. I will do whatever you ask me to."

"Haha! It's good that you finally realized that!"

Chen Xiaobei grinned, then said half-jokingly, "Come on then, 'serve' me for a little bit. Help me relax and rejuvenate, so that I'll have more brainjuice to come up with better solutions."

"You…" Demonic Fox bit her red lips and said, "You're taking advantage of the situation!"

"Oh, I thought you were going to obey my every command? Now you can't even do one job?" Chen Xiaobei teased. "I'm very disappointed."

"I…"

Demonic Fox pouted, looking like she was about to cry.

"What the… Hey don't cry! I was just kidding. You don't have to do it."

Chen Xiaobei quickly tried to clear up the situation. "Look, it's not the first time we've been messing around like this. You really thought I was that serious about it?"

"I did! And I didn't want to disappoint you!"

Demonic Fox gritted her teeth as she pounced on Chen Xiaobei, toppling him over.

"What… What are you doing…"

Chen Xiaobei felt a stirring sensation in his loins.

The white top Demonic Fox had on was very thin, and she was wearing nothing on the inside.

As she pressed her tempting and irresistable body against his, he could feel each and every curve of her body!

"Let me serve you."

Demonic Fox closed her eyes, wet her lips and planted a soft kiss on Chen Xiaobei's lips.

"Mmm…"

Chen Xiaobei was shocked that he got kissed by a woman again. Demonic Fox had learnt seductive skills before. The way she kissed was by way better than the rest of those pure, innocent girls. Her tongue intertwined with Chen Xiaobei's, flicking and swirling.

In no time, she was everywhere; on his neck, his face, the tip of his ears…

"Little Fox, you don't have to do this. I really was just joking with you…"

Chen Xiaobei was doing his best to remain calm, struggling to stay conscious and using all his willpower to suppress his urges. It was the most difficult thing to do.

"I really want to serve you!"

Demonic Fox said, raising her head slightly before continuing to plant kisses all over Chen Xiaobei.

"Oh god! If you continue, I'm not going to be able to control myself!" Chen Xiaobei panicked.

He was after all a man that was in his prime. Besides, it has been quite a while since he had any intimate skin-to-skin contact with a woman. If he could resist the temptation, he must be a eunuch.

"You put your life on the line for me. What I can only do for you is this little…"

Demonic Fox suddenly changed into a serious serious and said, "I really want to repay you. I'm willing to 'serve' you. Once you've helped me avenge my family, my entire being belongs to you. I am doing this willingly!"

"That can wait until I kill Tenshou Dog first… It's better we put it on hold for now, or else there might be no going back…" Chen Xiaobei said, struggling in the midst.

"There is no going back!"

Demonic Fox smiled.

"No going back? You can't give everything to me… If we don't stop now, I will suffocate…"

Chen Xiaobei's face was beet red.

"Idiot! Who said there's no other way?"

It was Demonix Fox's turn to blush as she bit her lips and licked them longingly.

"Do… do you want to do it the old way?'

Chen Xiaobei swallowed. "But you are Japan's Holy Lady! If you do this, your disciples will destroy me…"

"Screw that Holy Lady label! I just want to be able to give pleasure to the man who has been treating me like a princess."

Demonic Fox smiled.

Since arriving in Japan, Chen Xiaobei had not had the time to get some release. So, when Demonic Fox offered to 'service' him, he felt rejuvenated. All the pent-up stress and worry were swept away.

Under the clear sky peppered with stars, the two of them slept on the grass as the cool wind blew until the next morning came.

…

The next day was the big wedding of Japan's crown prince Nikkawa Okazaka and the Holy Lady, Tochigi Hyokitsune.

This was a national celebration for the entire nation!

People from all over the country gathered in the capital city of Tokyo.

They were the loyal people of the empire and the Emperor God's ardent believers.

The normally bustling roads of Tokyo were empty today.

Since dawn, all the major roads had been sealed off for a grand parade that would be passing through the city.

The people had already gathered on the streets, there were roughly 100,000 people!

Standing amongst the crowd were Chen Xiaobei and Demonic Fox who had on shades and hats.

Chen Xiaobei was going to send Demonic Fox back to Bei Xuan Faction but she was unwilling. She wanted to come with Chen Xiaobei.

He had no choice but to bring her along.

Today, Chen Xiaobei would have to direct No.8 Luban throughout the day. For that, he had memorized the entire schedule by heart so that things run smoothly and Nikkawa Uchu's deal with the Tenshou God would still be valid.

No.8 Luban might look hideous but it was very functional and nifty!

Other than being under Chen Xiaobei's control via telepathy, whatever it saw or heard would all be transmitted to Chen Xiaobei's mind, allowing Chen Xiaobei to react or respond; thus, avoiding any suspicions.

What was even better was that it allowed Chen Xiaobei's voice to be projected. Chen Xiaobei would be able to speak through No.8 Luban's mouth using True Sound to speak in Demonic Fox's voice.

On top of that, the covering layer on its body was very soft; it was no different from Demonic Fox's skin.

If Nikkawa Okazaka that pervert, were too make a move, he would never feel the difference.

Of course, all this was possible because Chen Xiaobei had paid the price of 1,000 of Spiritual Stones.

That was a lot of stones.

After this expenditure, there was only 3,000 Spiritual Qis left in his Green Jade Gourd.

This was a really heavy investment on Chen Xiaobei's part.

If it did not have such neat usage, Chen Xiaobei would have hacked this ugly piece of wood and turn it into firewood.

"Nikkawa Okazaka really is a pervert!"

Demonic Fox gritted her teeth as she said, "Look at him reaching into No.8 Luban's skirt while sitting at the top of the float in front of all those people in such stately moment!

"What? Are you imagining yourself in No.8 Luban's shoes?"

"Of course!" Demonic Fox nodded and said, "If it weren't for you, the person in No.8 Luban's place would be me! So, when he's touching No. 8 Luban, it feels like he's touching me! God, it's disgusting!"

"Let me help you kick his ass!" Chen Xiaobei smiled.

"Good! Kick it really hard!"

Demonic Fox waved her fists in and made little punches in the air.

…

On the float.

Nikkawa Okazaka was all smiles.

"My dear wife, why aren't you responding to me? You are already mine. Tonight, we can complete our holy union! You can show me a little bit more enthusiasm!"

"How do you want me to do that?"

No.8 Luban turned to look at him.

"That thing that happens between men and women. Don't you know that?' Nikkawa Okazaka said shamelessly. "The parade will take a while to end so we can do some kinky stuff to pass time! Hehehe…"

"Alright!" No.8 Luban nodded then reach its hand into Nikkawa Okazaka's pants.

"Oh oooh…"

Cold sweat dripped from his brows.

His genital area was injured by Chen Xiaobei's Nutbuster Kick!

Though Chen Xiaobei had given Nikkawa Uchu medication to heal him, it was only to enable him to function as usual. The internal injuries were still untreated.

"Your Highness, are you alright?" The driver asked.

"It's… It's nothing…" The green veins appeared on Nikkawa Okazaka's forehead and cold sweat dribbled down his back, but he stubbornly said, "Just drive… Don't talk unless you are asked to…"

The driver turned his focus back onto the road.

"Wife…" Nikkawa Okazaka swallowed. "My part is injured. Please don't be so rough. It really hurts…"

"Injured?" No.8 Luban narrowed its eyes and asked. "Why can't I feel anything there? Are you a eunuch?"

"I…" Nikkawa Okazaka's face turned a grayish green. "The doctor said that it will get better…"

"How?" No.8 Luban looked disgusted. "There's nothing in there. Are you going to grow one? Sigh… I can't believe it… You really are a eunuch! How sad…"

"I…"

Nikkawa Okazaka's face twisted into an ugly scowl. He looked like he had just tasted shit.

His bride called him a eunuch on the day of his wedding! No guy could accept that!

"Don't worry. I won't discriminate you! I just feel sorry for you!" No.8 Luban smiled. "You became a eunuch so young, you'll be missing out on so many amazing experiences for the rest of your life. What can you do even if I took off my clothes? Sigh… So sad…"

"Stop… Stop talking… I beg you please!"

Nikkawa Okazaka's little heart was shattered into a million pieces!

He had suffered enough but when No.8 Luban exposed that wound again, he wanted to bury himself six feet under.

"I suggest that you go to Thailand for surgery to become a transgender woman! Then we can be really good sisters!" No.8 Luban laughed cheekily. "Once you are used to being a woman, you can find a strong man to marry! Then you can get it on every day! You'll love it!"

"Please…. Please… Stop…. Boo hoo hoo…"

NIkkawa Okazaka felt like a thousand knives tore into his heart. When he thought about becoming a transgender, and marrying a strong, muscular man, he had goosebumps and cried his eyeballs out.

"Your Highness! Why are you crying?" The driver was using headphones so he did not hear their conversation. He only asked because he saw the crown prince crying from his rearview mirror."

"Boo hoo hoo!"

Nikkawa Okazaka covered his face with his hands, nearly embarrassed to death.

"He is crying happy tears! His life is going to change very soon. How could he not be happy?" No.8 Luban said.

"Oh, no wonder!" The driver said. "Your Highness, I wish you happiness and prosperity!"

"Boo hoo!" Nikkawa Okazaka's crying grew louder.

"Don't cry. The parade is ending soon. We have to go meet the VIP guests!" No.8 Luban said.

"Argh… Oooh…"

Demonic Fox kept her eyes glued to the float. She overheard Chen Xiaobei talking through No.8 Luban and she laughed uncontrollably.

"You really are mean! You've completely destroyed Nikkawa Okazaka's dignity…"

"Girls prefer bad boys!" Chen Xiaobei grinned, and said, "How else am I going to make you laugh like that?"

"Hehe, actually, I was hoping that you could be even meaner!"

Demonic Fox laughed so hard that she was tearing up.

"Let's go. We have to find a quiet place! No.8 Luban will have to go meet some VIP guests. I will need to respond carefully!"

Chen Xiaobei held her hand and they left.

…

After the parade was done, Nikkawa Okazaka and his bride walked into the banquet hall.

It was already seated with guests made up of Japan's high officials and noblemen as well as representatives from countries Japan had good relations with. Chen Xiaobei controlled No.8 Luban's every movement, going around, greeting and entertaining guests. It all went very well.

"Your Highness, your majesty. His Royal Highness requests your presence!"

An old chamberlain notified.

"Does Father need anything? Can't it be delayed? I really want to take a rest!" Nikkawa Okazaka complained.

"His Royal Highness wants you to meet an American VIP guest!" The chamberlain replied.

"American? Alright! I'll go now!"

Nikkawa Okazaka immediately rushed to change his attire and hairstyle.

On the surface, the USA and Japan were allies but the truth was, the USA had the absolute power and dominance. To put it frankly, Japan was just the pug that guarded the Pacific Ocean for the Americans.

How could Nikkawa Okazaka refuse to see an American guest?

"My dear wife, don't just sit there! Hurry up and finish grooming yourself! We cannot appear to be rude!"

Nikkawa Okazaka fixed his hair in the mirror then helped No.8 Luban.

After making sure that nothing was amiss, the both of them followed the old chamberlain to a door on side of the banquet hall.

After the door, and up a flight of stairs, there was a VIP lounge.

"Crown Prince! Crown Princess! Please!"

The chamberlain opened the door to let them in before standing guard in front of the closed door.

No one else was allowed in.

A silver-haired American was sitting at the main seat.

He was not your usual American VIP.

Meanwhile, the host, Nikkawa Uchu, was sitting in the second seat.

Again, this confirmed that this VIP's importance was far more than those sitting in the hall.

There was another man in the room with the rest of them.

Based on his facial features, he looked either European or American. Because he was painfully thin, it was hard to tell.

If it were not for the clothes on his body, he would look no different from a skeleton.

For someone so strange-looking to be in such an occasion could only mean that was no ordinary man.

Chen Xiaoebi, through No.8 Luban, observed that this skeletal man's standing position was very strategic.

He was in a spot with the best vantage point. From there, you could see the window and the door.

The man's beady eyes moved mechanically, alternating between the window and the door as if he was looking out for something.

Chen Xiaobei immediately came to a conclusion.

The skeletal man was there to protect the silver-haired man. He was the bodyguard from S.H.I.E.L.D.

This man must have some extraordinary skills!

His kind were called mutants.

"Allow me to introduce you."

Nikkawa Uchu got up from his seat, pointed at the silver-haired man, and said, "This is the vice leader of S.H.I.E.L.D, Mr. Zar!"

"Mr. Zar. How are you? I'm Nikkawa Okazaka! It's nice meeting you!"

The crown prince practically ran over. He reached out both hands to shake his hand and then bowed at ninety degrees.

Zar did not share his enthusiasm. He merely nodded politely, not even bothering to greet Nikkawa Okazaka back.

If he was the emperor, Zar might have been a little more courteous. But he was just a crown prince, a nobody to Zar.

An American official of Zar's position only attended occasions such as this wedding just as mere formality. His true purpose of coming was something else altogether.

"Mr… Mr. Zar, how do you do?"

No.8 Luban also walked over to shake his hand.

"Haha, is this new bride a little nervous?"

Zar smiled, as his gaze ran up and down No.8 Luban's body over and over again.

"No… I'm not… Mr. Zar, you've misunderstood…" No.8 Luban stuttered.

It was actually because Chen Xiaobei was trying to hold back his laughter.

"You are! Relax! I'm a very approachable person!" Zar grinned, holding No.8 Luban's hand and not letting go.

Clearly, this man had other ideas in his mind!

He had completely ignored Nikkawa Okazaka but was very warm and a little too friendly toward No.8 Luban. Even a blind man could tell what was happening.

But Nikkawa Uchu and Nikkawa Okazaka turned a blind ear and eye, pretending like nothing happened.

Zar only had to open his mouth to ask and Nikkawa Okaza would not hesitate to hand over his bride.

The countries' relationship depended on it. If they could draw Zar over to their side, Nikkawa Okazaka would benefit handsomely when he inherited the throne. For that, he was willing to pay the price.

Nikkawa Uchu, on the other hand, had wanted to intervene. But Chen Xiaobei had instructed that he coordinate with No.8 Luban.

So, he said nothing.

No.8 Luban stood there quietly as Zar held her hands in his, not letting go. It fluttered its lashes at Zar, making him weak in his knees.

"Mr. Zar, we don't have much time!"

It was the skeletal man who spoke up. His said in a hoarse voice, "You have a call appointment with the President in 10 minutes!"

"Opps! This bride is just too beautiful! I almost forgot about that!"

Zar finally released No.8 Luban's hand, as if he just woke up from a dream.

"Since Mr. Zar has something to talk about, I will leave!" No.8 Luban said.

"No, stay! Didn't the Emperor God chant over you?"

Zar said was reluctant to see her go.

"You are now our people. You don't have to go! Come! Sit here next to me!"

"Alright, Mr. Zar!" No.8 Luban nodded obediently.

Zar thought that Demonic Fox had been brainwashed. He would never have imagined that not only was the brainwashing unsuccessful, the gorgeous woman standing before him was not who he thought she was!

"It's like that!" Zar said. "Our received intel said that Chen Xiaobei has come to Japan. Don't you know that?'

"What?! That idiot is here? How come I didn't know about it? Where is he? I want to give him a piece of my mind!"

Nikkawa Okazaka jumped off his seat like a man hungry for blood.

He resented Chen Xiaobei for taking possession of 8,000 of his Spiritual Stones on Paradise Island; thus, emptying Japan's national treasury, and even caused the Divine Sovereign Sect to lose all of its savings.

When he returned to Japan, his father gave him a good roasting, some of the cabinet ministers even suggested that he be dethroned of his position as crown prince.

After that incident, he harbored a deep hatred for Chen Xiaobei.

"So, you don't know?"

Zar looked at Nikkawa Uchu.

"I knew about it. I even took measures to capture him two days ago but he managed to slip away…" NIkkawa Uchu said.

Phantom Rain must have reported back to the Americans, that was why Nikkawa Uchu had to be honest about it.

"Useless! That is why I came here myself! To head this Chen Xiaobei operation! This kid is the one that destroyed the Poseidon Operation! Since he's here on our territory, we must not let him get away!"

"Good! That's just great! We will give you our full support! We'll cooperate with you!"

Nikkawa Okazaka threw a fist into the air.

Nikkawa Uchu, on the other hand, looked uncomfortably at No.8 Luban.

"Do you have any plan, Mr. Zar? As the Holy Lady of Divine Sovereign Sect, I will do my best to help you with your work!" No.8 Luban said.

Zar smiled and said in a profound manner, "You don't say! The plan I have revolves around your Divine Sovereign Sect!"

Everyone in the room sat up straight.

"We launched a full investigation once we got wind of Chen Xiaobei's whereabouts!" Zar said, "According to our findings, Chen Xiaobei came undercover as a Chinese businessman under the Li Organization! He used a mask to hide his face. The person behind the organization is a Blood Descendent named Li Xiang. He is also here in Japan! Based on what we've gathered about him, Li Xiang had lived about a few hundred years and had been looking for the Orochi's scale nearly his entire life! They cheated the Amasa family's Sui Generis Dragon Artifact and then broke into the Emperor's quarters and stole Xu Fu's treasure box! So, we can see that they've come here to get the Orochi's Scale that is currently in the possession of the Divine King! So, our plan is to stand guard around the Emperor God and wait for Chen Xiaobei to walk into our trap!"

Zar was filled with confidence. He had obviously made a very detailed computation and forecast for this operation.

Phantom Rain's intel combined with what enormous intel they have collected, Zar's prediction was spot-on!

Chen Xiaobei's plan was to get his hands on the Orochi's Scale.

If it were not for this coincidence—overhearing his enemies plans through No.8 Luban, Chen Xiaobei might have just fallen into the trap!

Sitting a few kilometers away, Chen Xiaobei was feeling very lucky!

Against the Emperor God in the pinnacle phase of Celestial Cultivation and a mysterious mutant, Chen Xiaobei might not survive!

Of course, Chen Xiaobei was as usual, not the least bit shaken by this.

No.8 Luban said smiling, "Mr. Zar, don't you worry. This time, we will surely be able to successfully capture Chen Xiaobei!"

"Haha! This beauty really has such a sweet mouth on her!"

Zar leered, ogling at No.8 Luban's chest.

"When we get Chen Xiaobei, I will reward you!"

"Oh, thank you, Mr. Zar!"

"Mr. Zar!" Nikkawa Uchu stepped in. "Since we've got plans laid out, what can I do to help? My armory and my soldiers are at your service!"

"Armory and soldiers? Heh…" Zar smiled. "I heard that Chen Xiaobei had already taken down all ten of your Falcons. Do you think that guns and bullets are going to be effective against him?"

"You… You knew about it…" Nikkawa Uchu gulped.

"Nonsense! Do you think I just sit on my hands all day?"

Zar raised his brow and said confidently, "This time, we don't need your involvement! I've already brought 3 A-class agents from S.H.I.E.L.D!"

"Oh… Mr. Zar has come prepared. You will definitely be able to do this!"

Nikkawa Uchu smiled, but inside, he was bubbling with worry.

He even emphasized on the word 'definitely'.

Clearly, he was trying to remind Chen Xiaobei through No.8 Luban that this enemy was no ordinary man. He would most definitely be able to capture Chen Xiaobei.

"Of course! 3 A-class S.H.I.E.L.D agents. Did you think we're here to play? Of course, we'll definitely be able to do it! Haha…"

Za laughed, pleased with himself.

The skeletal man by his side also laughed.

...

A few kilometers away.

Chen Xiaobei summarized what he had heard to Demonic Fox.

Demonic Fox immediately said, "The Orochi's Scale will not be going anywhere any time soon. Let's go back to China first, we'll wait for things to cool down before coming back!"

"No!" Chen Xiaobei shook his head and said, "First of all, I've already made a promise to my friend that, no matter what, we must get it! Secondly, No.8 Luban's energy is limited. We cannot delay the plan. Once its Special Abilities wear off, our entire plan will be ruined!"

Demonic Fox frowned at this. She knew that Chen Xiaobei's plan included the deal with the Tenshou. If his plans fell apart, he may never be able to have another chance like this.

"Then, what do you plan to do?" Demonic Fox asked.

Chen Xiaobei was lost in thought for a while.

"That's it! I will lure the Emperor God out and then kill him secretly! Then I will send one of the men to take his place. This is absolutely failproof!"

"Kill… Kill the Emperor God? Are you kidding?" Demonic Fox looked at him in disbelief and then said, "He is Japan's strongest warrior! How could you fight him?"

"So what? I have at least a 30% chance of winning!" Chen Xiaobei was determined. "Don't try to talk me out of it! This is the only way. If we don't fight our way through this, there is no other way!"

Demonic Fox knew that nothing she could say would change his mind. In fact, she wanted to fight as well.

"I won't try to talk you out of it. If you win, I will laugh with you. If you lose, I will die with you!"

"Don't say things like that! I didn't know that you are so weak!" Chen Xiaobei grinned. "C'mon, let's go. Let's find you a place where you'll be safe. It's going to inconvenient if you tag along."

"I know a place! It's one hundred percent safe!"

"Alright! Let's go check it out!"

Chen Xiaobei took Demonic Fox to the place on the Somersault Cloud.

…

That place was a cave in Kurosaki Yama.

It was obscured by large rocks, very well hidden and it was really high up. It had the perfect view of the Divine Sovereign Sect!

"How did you find this place? A good hiding place where you can observe your enemies. There's nothing better than this!"

Chen Xiaobei was pleased.

"I came across this place while I was training in Divine Sovereign Sect. No one else knows about this place!"

"Alright! Wait for me here. If everything goes well, I will be able to settle everything by tomorrow!"

"If you don't come back by sunrise tomorrow, I will end my life!"

"Silly fox!" Chen Xiaobei smiled at this. "Because of what you just said, I will make sure I come back on time!"

After he left the cave, Chen Xiaobei went on to deploy his plan.

First, he went back to Bei Xuan faction to mark the forest behind it with the Returning Bracelet.

Then, he went back to Shallow Grass Temple to look for Phantom Rain.

…

After the battle, Phoenix Enigmatic Ninja was eliminated and Green Dragon Enigmatic Ninja became his loyal dog.

It was quiet there in Shallow Grass Temple.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Chen Xiaobei tapped on the door.

Phantom Rain came to the door almost immediately. When she saw that it was Chen Xiaobei, her eyes widened in surprise.

"Chen… Why are you showing your face… Hurry, come in!"

In a panic, Phantom Rain pulled Chen Xiaobei in.

"How's your wound?"

Chen Xiaobei eyed her waist.

"Your medicine works like magic. My wound is nearly completely healed…" Phantom Rain shook her head then said, "No! Now is not the time to talk about me! Why did you show up here? Do you know that Nikkawa Uchu has ordered a nationwide manhunt?! Even the Americans are getting involved! If they find you, you are a goner!"

Chen Xiaobei merely smiled at her.

"You're saying all these because you see me as your friend!"

"I am not an ungrateful person!" Phantom Rain said. "You protected me in the Abyss, saved me from Green Dragon and Phoenix, and then healed my injuries! Even if I'm heartless, I don't want to see you die!"

"At least you have a conscience!" Chen Xiaobei grinned. "I need to ask you for help as a friend!"

"I know. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come." Phantom Rain frowned. "Say it! What is that you want me to do?"

Chen Xiaobei changed his demeanor and said in a serious manner, "I want you to arrange a meeting with the Emperor God! I have to kill him or I'll die!"

"You? Kill the Emperor God? Er, did you forget to eat your pills today?"

Phantom Rain rolled her eyes at Chen Xiaobei, thinking that he was just pulling her leg.

"Nikkawa Uchu and Kitagawa Heiya are both my dogs now. I am not kidding when I say that I want to kill the Emperor God."

"What… How do you plan to do that…"

Phantom Rain gave him a strange look.

Even though she found it hard to believe, the manner in which Chen Xiaobei spoke about it shook her to the core. She could tell that he was being honest with her.

"Are you helping me or not?" Chen Xiaobei asked.

"I…" Phantom Rain's face crumpled.

It took a while before she nodded and said, "I can't help you with that! I don't want you to die! The Emperor God is my elder Shixiong and he saved my grandfather's life. I don't want to cause him any trouble!"

Disappointment flooded Chen Xiaobei's dark eyes.

"I understand. I will come up with another way to do this."

"Listen to me. Don't go after my elder Shixiong!" Phantom Rain warned. "He is the strongest person in Japan. He has already mastered S-tier Ninjutsu! There's no way you could beat him!"

"I don't want to trouble you but only one can live!"

Phantom Rain was kept quiet for a while before saying, "Then, let me just tell you now that I will notify my elder Shixiong so that he will keep an eye out for you. I don't want the both of you to become enemies!"

"You…" Chen Xiaobei was crestfallen. "I shouldn't have come here today… But I understand your decision. Until we meet again!"

Phantom Rain pouted, and her forehead wrinkled.

It was a very difficult decision for her.

"Wait, Mr. Chen!"

Uzuishi Akaihi walked toward them.

"Old man, what do you want to say to me?" Chen Xiaobei asked.

"I want to ask you a question: are you really going to kill the Emperor God?" Uzuishi Akaihi asked.

"I will do my best. I have at least a 30% chance of winning."

"Good!" Uzuishi Akaihi turned around to look at his granddaughter and said, "Yasai, do as Mr. Chen says and ask the Emperor God to meet with you!"

"Huh?" Phantom Rain looked puzzled. "Grandfather, are you alright? How could you say something like that? Elder Shixiong saved your life!"

"Saved my life? Please!" Uzuishi Akaihi spat. "He is our family's nemesis! He is an animal!"

"What…"

The elder Shixiong she respected for more than ten years, the person she was grateful toward for more than ten years was now her biggest enemy?

How could she believe that?

Even Chen Xiaobei was shocked.

This was such a twist!

Uzuishi Akaihi took in a deep breath and said in a slow, calm manner, "Yasai, from the day you were born, all of our family knew that your eyes are different from others. That you have Demon's Vision! Your parents and I hoped that you would live a long and peaceful life but your talent was spectacular so that the Tenshou noticed you even when you were at a very young age! He came many times, asking for you to be discipled under him but we've always rejected him! Gradually, the Tenshou lost his patience and announce that whoever could help him make you his disciple will receive a handsome reward! The Emperor God wanted it so badly that he poisoned us! Your parents and about sixteen other family members died… Then he appeared out of nowhere and cleared me of the poison! He did all that so that you would feel indebted to him and agree to become the Tenshou's disciple!"

"What… You've always told me that they died because of some strange disease…"

Phantom Rain trembled.

Uzuishi Akaihi took in another deep breath before continuing, "I could not protect you under those circumstances. I was afraid to speak against the Emperor God… I didn't want you to try to take him down and get yourself killed! My only option was to live out an ignoble existence! I had to live to tell you this secret when the time is right! Luckily, they kept me alive to gain better control of you!"

Chen Xiaobei was shocked and disgusted that the Emperor God would use such an unscrupulous beast!

Of course, with Tenshou God as their criminal ringleader, the Emperor God's cold-blooded crime went unpunished but was rewarded!

Through his every little action, it was clear that the Emperor God would do anything to get his way!

"No… Elder Shixiong is not that kind of person… Grandfather, you have to show me evidence or I will not believe a single word…"

Phantom Rain's eyes flickered with doubt. She did not know what to think.

How could someone she believed to be her savior for more than ten years suddenly become her worst enemy?

It was really difficult for someone as loyal as she was to accept it.

"I am the proof!"

Green Dragon Enigmatic Ninja came out from the room and said, "Everyone knew about that incident! The Emperor God was rewarded with 3,000 Spiritual Stones in the Tenshou Palace. Everyone was jealous of him!"

"You?"

Phantom Rain shot him a look.

"I know. Now that I'm on Bro Bei's side, that's why you don't trust me!"

Green Dragon Enigmatic Ninja said, "You can go ask White Tiger yourself. He's in the hospital now. He hasn't had any contact with Bro Bei. He can testify what I just said!"

Phrantom Rain did not run off to see White Tiger Enigmatic Ninja. She merely kept quiet.

Chen Xiaobei was about to comfort her but Uzuishi Akaihi shook his head.

"Mr. Chen, don't worry. My granddaughter is not fragile. She will get out of it herself!"

"Oh okay…"

After a few minutes, Phantom Suddenly let out a long sigh. She no longer looked confused.

"I will always believe Grandpa's words! All these years, I have felt that the Tenshou had been keeping something from me!"

Phantom Rain was sound and good at regulating herself. What she said was proof that she had calmed down.

Chen Xiaobei raised his brow. Phantom Rain was not what he thought she was. Her past experiences strengthened her emotionally. Not everyone could remain so calm after such a big new was broken so suddenly!

"Chen Xiaobei! What was it that you want me to do?"

Phantom Rain enunciated each word. "No matter what, I must have this revenge!"

"When night comes, you are to contact the Emperor God, tell him…"

Chen Xiaobei made the arrangements without a second thought.

...

In the Divine Sovereign Sect.

The Emperor God personally welcomed the four Americans at the door and said meekly, "I heard that the 4 of you are coming so I asked my men to prepare 4 rooms for you. It's nothing fancy I hope you don't mind."

"You are too modest. We came here to do our jobs. Why should we mind?"

The silver haired man smiled, his tone was casual.

He was the vice leader of S.H.I.E.L.D, Zar.

Before this, he was a proud man who disregarded Nikkawa Uchu but before the Emperor God, he kept his theatrics to themselves.

The pinnacle phase of Celestial Cultivation! Japan's strongest warrior! Only a fool would disrespect such a powerful individual!

There were three other men behind Zar.

The first one was the skeletal man who was his personal bodyguard.

The second was a man with no pupils, his eyes were just white, as if he had cataract, it looked frightening.

The third man was bald and had a permanent scowl on his face! He wore a pair of red rubber gloves that no one had ever seen him take off.

These three were the A-class S.H.I.E.L.D agents that Zar had handpicked for this mission.

They walked with their nose in the air and looked down on everyone.

But, similarly, before the Emperor God, they were polite and meek, and they did not walk out of line.

The reason was simple: the Emperor God was way stronger than they were.

This was the power of strength!

In this world where the fittest survive, strength was respected and highly regarded!

Of course, the Emperor God did not put on any show. He merely showed his guests to their room, chatted with them for a bit and left.

"Elder Shixiong!"

He had just stepped out of the guest room when someone called to him.

"Oh? Phantom Rain, why did you come here today?" The Emperor God asked, half-smiling.

"I've discovered Chen Xiaobei's latest hiding place!"

Phantom Rain jumped right into it.

"Shhh!"

The Emperor God place a finger in front of his lips and brought Phantom Rain away from the rooms before allowing her to continue.

"After the fight, Chen Xiaobei left a black sword that I took with me to Shallow Grass Temple!"

Phantom Rain said, "Early today morning, I found Chen Xiaobei hiding in Shallow Grass Mountain. I think he wants to retrieve the sword!"

"Mmm, I heard about that black sword from White Tiger! It seems that Chen Xiaobei really did show up!"

All these years, he had used the four enigmatic Ninjas to keep watch of Phantom Rain. She was his nemesis after all so he had to keep an eye on her.

What Phantom Rain had told him was only the half-truth.

Thankfully, he knew about the black sword, so he believed even the second half of her information which was a lie.

"That kid's strength is too unpredictable. Since he came, he maimed all of our Enigmatic Ninjas, leaving only Green Dragon still able-bodied! I am still recovering from my injuries. So I had to ask for your help!" Phantom Rain explained.

"Understood! Your problem is my problem! I will do all I can to help you!"

The Emperor God smiled and said, "But, we have some very important guests. I need to entertain them first before I can leave!"

"No! Time does not wait! Let's go now!"

Phantom Rain paused before adding, "Once we capture Chen Xiaobei, all the credit will go to you! I was afraid that that prick would run off again, I will be severely punished…"

"Heh, don't worry. How could I let my little Shimei be punished? Let's go now! We can't waste another second!"

The Emperor God was very cautious. He even brought the four Grand Elders with him.

Phantom Rain was a little worried. Chen Xiaobei did say to only lure the Emperor God himself. Now that there were another four people, he might have to change his plans.

But she had to be careful not to let her worry show.

The six of them left the Divine Sovereign Sect in a hurry.

But there were three other men trailing them.

"Who would've thought that the Emperor God would want to take all the credit?" The man who was as skinny as a twig said.

"He's a despicable man!" The man with only whites for eyes said. "He knew what we're here for but he didn't even inform us! Instead he took matters into his own hand! He doesn't treat us as his own!"

The red-gloved baldy said, "Luckily we were spying on them! That bugger would've captured Chen Xiaobei on his own! Then, our trip here would've been a waste!"

The three S.H.I.E.L.D agents followed after the Emperor God and the others, not wanting to miss out on the opportunity to be merited for their work.

…

In Shallow Grass Mountain.

Phantom Rain led the Emperor God and the four Grand Elders going in circles around the mountain. The three American agents were not far behind, following the wild goose chase.

The men thought that they were looking for Chen Xiaobei but Phantom Rain was just buying time.

The day was almost over, it was already near evening.

Chen Xiaobei had to wait until sundown to put No.8 Luban to sleep. Only after that, could he focus on fighting his enemy!

Slowly, the sun disappeared westward and the ski over Shallow Grass Mountain darkened.

"Little Shimei, are you fooling with us?"

The Emperor God was losing his patience.

"Why would I do that?" Phantom Rain frowned. "This has everything to do with me. Setting you up would not do me any good. Both Sifu and the American will punish me! I'm not stupid! Why would I work toward my own suffering?"

The Emperor God furrowed his brows.

"You say that but you've been leading us around in circles! We didn't even catch a glimpse of Chen Xiaobei! You have to at least give me something!"

"I…" Phantom Rain was didn't know what to say. But she saw something at the corner of her eyes. She pointed towards the sky and said, "Look over there! Someone started a fire!"

In the direction she pointed at, there was a pile of burning wood.

"It's Chen Xiaobei! He must have started the fire!"

Grand Elder Kitagawa Heiya exclaimed excitedly, "Emperor God! Let's go over there! Chen Xiaobei must be there!"

"Duh! You don't need to state the obvious!"

Emperor God smiled with an eerie twinkle in his eyes.

Swoosh!

A loud rustling of the wind sounded and the Emperor God disappeared before their eyes, and headed toward the fire.

"Let's go!"

The three Grand Elders followed behind.

"Should we kill the three of them first?" Kitagawa Heya asked.

Phantom Rain shook her head, "No. The Emperor God might come back! We'd be done for!"

"Mm! Then let's go too!"

Kitagawa Heya and Phantom Rain were much faster than the three other Grand Elders, easily catching up with them.

If Phantom Rain had nodded, the three Grand Elders would have been taken care of without much effort on their part.

Thankfully, she did not. Or their covers would have been blown. Because behind them were the three S.H.I.E.L.D agents.

…

Far ahead, the Emperor God had already arrived at the pit of fire where he spotted his prey!

"Chen Xiaobei! How are you?" The Emperor God laughed. "Both Japan and the US are racking their brains trying to capture you! Who knew that you've been under our noses all along!"

Chen Xiaobei summoned his acting skills, put on a look of terror and asked, "Who… Who are you… How do you know me…"

"Who I am is not important! What's important is that you must follow me! If you don't fight back, you won't get hurt!"

"Do I look stupid to you? I won't go!"

Chen Xiaobei pretended to look nervous.

"Heh, that's not a wise decision! An ant must realize that it's an ant! You, Chen Xiaobei, has no right to refuse me!"

Boom!

The Emperor God raised a finger and a blazing Fire True Kang lit up.

A ray of blinding light lit up the entire place so that looked like daylight.

The temperature rose, and the air was suffocating.

Ding!

[Cultivation: Pinnacle phase of Celestial Cultivation. Health: 130,000. Combat power: 130,000]

The Netherspirit Battlescouter confirmed that the Emperor God's strength was as Kitagawa Hieya had said. It had not changed.

Chen Xiaobei was slightly relieved.

That way, at least he still had 30% chance of winning.

If his cultivation were to increase even a little, Chen Xiaobei would have no chance of winning at all!

"Did you see that? That is my strength!" The Emperor God chuckled proudly. "Chen Xiaobei, are you still going to reject me now?"

"I know I can't beat you, I can't provoke you, but can't I hide from you?"

Chen Xiaobei sprinted and entered the forests.

"Heh! So you're going to run? Childish!"

The Emperor God ran after Chen Xiaobei with speed ten times faster than Chen Xiaobei's.

"Crap!"

It was dark and when the Emperor God sped through the forest, he suddenly realized that behind the trees ahead was a silver projection.

Because he only realized it when he was near it, and because of the pace he was running at, he could not stop on time and ran right into the projection.

"Where did the Emperor God go? Let's follow him!"

Phantom Rain and the four Grand Elders ran into the forest, and just like the Emperor God, they could not break their run on time and went right into the silver projection.

The three S.H.I.E.L.D agents followed suit like hungry hounds.

…

"What happened? Why does it look different…"

The Emperor God looked around him. He was still in the forest, but it was different. It was poorly lit so the Emperor God could not pinpoint exactly what was different.

He wanted to retreat but he did not want to let go of the opportunity to take all the credit himself.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

While the Emperor God was deciding between his options, eight people walked out of the silver projection.

"Why are you guys here?" The Emperor God peered at the three S.H.I.E.L.D agents.

"Emperor God, you are not honest. You have a lead on Chen Xiaobei but you kept it from us! So, we followed you!" The skeletal man said.

"Ah, whatever!" The Emperor God could not be bothered to explain himself, and he was not in the mood to argue so he simply said, "Chen Xiaobei must be nearby. Let's split up!"

Bei Xuan Faction.

Everyone was on their toes, standing by for battle.

Chen Xiaobei had made a trip here in the afternoon and marked this place, the forest behind Bei Xuan Faction.

In this battle, Chen Xiaobei was not. He had one of the strongest backups.

At the arena of Bei Xuan Faction.

Feng Qingyang placed a large map of the mountains on the ground.

Jiang Ziya stood in front of the map and looked at the topography behind the mountains.

Right opposite Jiang Ziya, the people of Bei Xuan were waiting like a pack of wolves, ready to attack.

Ding ring ring!

Jiang Ziya's phone rang. It was Chen Xiaobei.

"Xiaobei! How is the situation over there?" Jiang Ziya said.

"I've put on the Nightstalker Outfit, they won't be able to see me for now! But there are some changes to the plan! The Emperor God brought his minions with him."

"What do you plan to do now?"

"Since they've come, they won't go back alive!" Chen Xiaobei said coldly, "You'll lead the attack, and I will follow the Emperor God. Once you've taken care of the others, then we'll fight him!"

"Alright! Fill me in. I will deploy the troops now!"

Jiang Ziya was now Chen Xiaobei's loyal follower; he would do whatever Chen Xiaobei told him to.

"The first one is a bald guy with red gloves, Wolf Spider Spiritual Form, 70,000 combat power; he headed east into a White Wood Ravine… The second is a man without pupils…"

Chen Xiaobei filled Jiang Ziya in on the whereabouts of his enemies.

When his enemies walked through the silver projection, Chen Xiaobei had already put on the Nightstalker Outfit and was hiding nearby. He had memorized the directions they were headed towards as well as their strengths. After that, he reported everything to Jiang Ziya. Without a doubt, all these information had become the key to win in the battle.

As Sun Tzu said, if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles! With Jiang Ziya's leadership skill, all the information that he acquired would greatly increase the success rate of this battle!

"Tai Yitan! Sirius! Yue Changkong! You guys head toward White Wood Ravine and kill the first target!"

"Wu Aofeng! Xiao Bai! Gordon! You guys head toward…"

"Huo Yuanba! Zhuang Bihuang! Su Dongruo! You guys head toward…"

"Feng Qingyang! Li Xiang! Green Dragon Enigmatic Ninja! You guys head toward…"

He delivered the commands like a commander in chief!

Everyone heeded the orders and immediately got into action!

"Old Jiang! What about me? Did you forget me?"

Six Ear Macaque had been waiting the whole time but Jiang Ziya did not call him. So he got all worked up.

"Don't worry! Chen Xiaobei has arranged something for you!"

"What is it? Tell me! I can't wait any longer! Is he not letting me fight because my cultivation is low?

Six Ear Macaque was not in Zhao Ritian's body. So, his strength was halved, not enough to be a part of this huge war!

"Strength is one thing. But what's more important is that Chen Xiaobei has given you the most important task in this battle! When you're up, he will call you!"

"Do I really have the most important role? Really? That's great! I'm waiting! I will wait!"

Six Ear Macaque was pleased to hear that. He felt good about the responsibility he would be tasked with, so he waited quietly.

At White Wood Ravine.

The northeast area behind the mountain, amongst the thickets of trees, where the terrain dips, was a very good hiding place. The bald veteran S.H.I.E.L.D agent made a good decision choosing to search the White Wood Ravine.

"Hello?? Mr. Zar!" Baldy confidently, "Don't you worry. Chen Xiaobei's cultivation is just in the later phase of True Nirvana Cultivation. There are so many of us here. Any one of us could squash him like the stink bug he is!"

"You fool! Chen Xiaobei cannot die!" Zar scolded.

"Don't get all worked up, my Mr. Zar. I know we have to get Chen Xiaobei alive! I was just implying that he's as easy to catch as a stinkbug!"

"Alright! Then I'll relay the good news to the President. When we return, all of you will be rewarded!"

"Haha! Then let me thank you beforehand… Huh? There's someone in front. Talk to you later!"

Baldy put away his phone, suddenly nervous.

Before him stood a refined looking middle-aged man, probably in his fifties, with his long hair in a top bun and a thick face of beard. He was wearing a traditional chang pao and had an air prestige and supremacy about him.

Baldy saw that the man was no ordinary person so he did not act immediately and asked him in English, "Hello! Who are you?"

The man's English was not very good but he understood what the American was asking him.

"The leader of Hua Shan Faction, Yue Changkong!"

Seemingly, the young man from the U.S did not understand Mandarin that well. Still, he could at least guess what he was trying to say.

"Oh? Chang? Kong?" Baldy looked confused.

"I'm just talking over your head, aren't I? Let's just fight!"

Yue Changkong's True Kang surged like waves.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

A silvery-white Metal True Kang exploded.

Combined with Metal Celestial Event, thousands of piercing, bright light amassed and formed a Silver Sword Dragon with Yue Changkong's 73,000 combat power charging at Baldy.

"Huh? You want to fight?"

Baldy made out what was happening and immediately readied himself.

Chen Xiaobei had mentioned that the baldy was a Wolf Spider Spiritual Form with 70,000 combat power.

But right now, against the powerful Yue Changkong, the baldy was not even breaking out in sweat.

Bam! Boom! Boom!

The Silver Sword Dragon stormed toward Baldy like a falling meteorite and made a large dent in the ground.

There were holes in the dent where the swords had pierced through. If a normal person were standing there, he would have been shredded into a million pieces!

But Baldy was nowhere to be seen.

'Where is he? How is he so fast?"

Yue Changkong frowned. His speed was, without a doubt, much faster than his opponent, but how was it that his opponent escaped without a scratch?

Swoosh!

There was a gust of wind coming from behind Yue Changkong, it was that Baldy, charging at full speed toward him!

Baldy had abandoned his red gloves and a string of white spider web shot out from his hands, lending a strong elastic force, accelerating the speed at which he was traveling.

His spread the fingers of his other hand and aimed it at Yue Changkong's face. His palm was covered in sharp 'barbed' scapulae hairs! If it makes contact with Yue Changkong's face, half of his face would be ripped off!

Swoosh!

Baldy swung over, his speed propelled by the spider web, was too fast for Yue Changkong to evade.

Screeeech…

When his palm hit the True Kang Armor on Yue Changkong's head, it produced a loud scratchy metallic sound.

"That's fast!"

Yu Changkong was about to go after him but Badly ducked and swung back to the large tree.

Baldy crouched on one of the branches on the tree, clinging to it only with his palms and feet.

Very much like Spiderman in the movies, the little scapulae hairs allowed Baldy to hang from the tree.

"You may be strong but my Special Ability gives me the upper hand! I will wear out your True Qi little by little and beat you! Hahaha…"

Every time Baldy hit Yue Changkong, Yue Changkon's True Qi would be whittled away.

After a while, Yue Changkong would be lying helpless on the ground.

But Yue Changkong remained calm as he thought to himself, 'So this is the mutant in the legends, eh? He has Spiritual Form and Special Ability but he doesn't train his cultivation! Isn't that similar to a Spiritual Beast like Xiao Bai and Sirius? That also means they have bestial genes! In a way, these so-called mutants are also considered Beastmen!'

With the information Chen Xiaobei had relayed, Yue Changkong was able to deduce the nature of the mutants. He could not help but marvel at the wonders of nature!

"What are you muttering to yourself about? Are you debating whether or not to kneel before me or continue to fight? Hahaha…"

Baldy could not understand what Yue Changkong was saying and assumed that he was afraid.

"Heh, you're still laughing in the face of death?"

Yue Changkong focused his mind and the Silver Sword Dragon appeared once again.

"Dumb moron! Come on then, let me send you to your death bed!"

Baldy shot out another string of spider web that launched him high into the air and toward Yu Changkong.

Zing!

Again, Baldy reached out the palm with the sharp, barbed hairs.

Yu Changkong could not possibly dodge this but he had no intention of doing so, either. He stood where he was, motionless.

"Bro Bei wants you dead! Even Yanwang won't be able to save you!"

Yue Changkong did not move. His expression showed determinedness.

"Huh? What the hell?"

Just as he was halfway toward Yue Changkong, Baldy was stopped in mid-air. It was as if he was stopped by something. It was a huge spider web that stopped Baldy from charging toward Yue Changkong. Those webs were as thin as spider web but stronger than stainless steel. When thousands of strings came together, it created a powerful force to trap Baldy.

"What? My hands and feet… Why am I being tied up… What the hell did you do? Are these webs? Are you also a Wolf Spiderman? No way, these webs are ten times stronger than mine… This is impossible…"

"This is a Spiritual Item that my Sifu gave me. It's called the Thousand Webs Bracelet!"

A handsome young man in his early twenties walked out from among the trees.

On his wrist was a glimmering silver metal bracelet. The webs that were binding Baldy came from this Spiritual Item!

'Who the hell are you?"

Baldy was starting to sweat.

He was a real Wolf Spiderman tied up in this fake spider web. No matter how he struggled, he could not get himself free.

This was no longer a matter of saving face, this was a matter of life and death!

"Bei Xuan Faction! I'm the second disciple of Chen Zhufeng, Tai Yitan!"

Though the young man sounded calm, a powerful aura could be heard in his tone.

"You understand English, right?" Baldy realized the gravity of the situation and was ready to throw in the towel. "This is just a misunderstanding. You and I have nothing against each other. I'm willing to apologize for my mistake! I still have duties I need to fulfill. Please let me go…"

Swoosh!

A silhouette came from behind Tai Yitan.

It was a black wolf, the size and built of a tiger!

In this dark forest, the wolf sprung ferociously toward Baldy.

"What… Shit… No… Stop! Ask it to stop…"

Baldy trembled, petrified.

He saw that there was a piercing light like a Karaburan on the wolf's back and claws!

This was a Heavenly Beast, Obsidian Zephyr Sirius with its Special Ability.

But this black wolf was descended from thousands of years of the Heavenly Beast. Its bloodline was very already very thin and could only be in Spiritual Form.

Obsidian Zephyr Spiritual Form!

Eight-Star Spiritual Beast, Sirius is here!

"My god…"

Baldy let out a shrill scream. His heart was in his throat.

Swoosh!

Sirius's ability was called Obsidian Zephyr Shadow. Its specialty was to shatter one's True Kang. At the same time, Baldy's Spiritual Form was actually similar to Sirius's. Without True Kang, Baldy would be shredded to pieces by Sirius.

Splat!

Seconds later, Baldy's throat was ripped off and his blood vessels were exposed. Let alone the blood rushing out from the wound, one could still see that Baldy's blood vessels and windpipe were still moving. There was a high chance that Baldy would not survive this attack.

Crack!

Sirius bit into Baldy's neck and wrenched, detaching Baldy's head from its body!

A-class S.H.I.E.L.D agent, Wolf Spiderman, dead!

…

Not far away, in an open, rocky flat area.

The white eyed man overheard the commotion.

"That's Wolf Spiderman's voice! Could he have found Chen Xiaobei? I must get there quick!"

"You're not going anywhere! You can just die here!"

A stout built man approached him, cradling a cat in his arms.

"A big man with a cat… What kind of combination is this?" White-eyes scratched his head.

"It's okay for you to call me big but don't you ever call this little thing here a cat! Or else!"

The snow-white cat swung its little claws, hissing away. If Chen Xiaobei was present, he would understand that this little guy was swearing again.

But who could blame it?

It was a Frost Jade Lion being mistaken for a little kitten!

"Pfft… Do I look like a fool to you?" White-eyes spat. "I can kill this stupid little cat with one slap! You better hurry up and apologize to me or I will make you and your stupid cat pay!"

"Apologize?" The stout guy shrugged and said, "I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you again. I have never in my life apologized. I only know how to slap! Do you know what slapping it? You know the one where you go smack! Smack! Smack!"

"So you want to slap me? Ha! It looks like somebody is tired of living!"

A ray of red beam shot out from White-eyes' eyes.

"Hmph! Mutant! Crimson Eyes Spiritual Form! 70,000 combat power! Not only am I going to slap that face of yours, I am going to kill you!"

"Who… Who are you… How did you know my secret…"

White-eyes looked nervously at the pair.

The American officials never publicized any information about the mutants. Without a high-level of security clearance, no one would ever be able to know anything about them, especially not in such great detail!

"Who am I? Heh, since you're asking so sincerely, let me tell you!" The stalwart man puffed up his chest and said, "I am Bei Xuan Faction third disciple, Wu Aofeng! Nicknamed Face Slapping Little Tornado!"

"Bei Xuan Faction? Chen Zhufeng? What kind of rubbish is that? I've never even heard of that!"

White-eyes' reddened like two fireballs.

"*%$#@?!" Wu Aofeng burst out in anger. "Did you just say that my sifu is rubbish? I will decapitate that stupid head of yours and kick it around like a ball!"

"You sifu? Is he that Chen Zhufeng? In today's world any Tom, Dick, and Harry could claim to be a master! But they are just a bunch of clowns!"

"F*ck you!" Wu Aofeng's could not hold his temper anymore. "It's only because of your ignorance that you've never heard of Sifu! If I tell you his real name, you'd be peeing in your pants, right now!"

"Go ahead then! Tell me!" White-eyes laughed as if Wu Aofeng had just told him the funniest joke ever.

My Sifu is Chen Xiaobei a.k.a Zhaofeng! The master of Bei Xuan faction! The most powerful elite on the Hero of War Leaderboard and God of War Leaderboard!" Wu Aofeng looked proudly at White-eyes and asked, "So, are you scared now?"

Hero of War Leaderboard was for those under 30 years old, while the God of War Leaderboard was for those above 30.

These two leaderboards were for regular elites in Jianghu, and did not include those that in ancient factions. The fact that Chen Xiaobei defeated everyone at Hero of War Leaderboard, he was definitely worth to be called number one! As for the first place of God of War Leaderboard, it had always been the faction leader of Xuanjian Faction, Liu Xiyuan. Now, Chen Xiaobei was way more powerful than Liu Xiyuan, it was only logical for Chen Xiaobei to top the God of War Leaderboard.

Of course, right now, only the people of Bei Xuan knew about Chen Xiaobei's real strength. Everyone else still thought that Liu Xiyuan placed first on the God of War Leaderboard.

That, of course, included White-eyes. His intel reported that Chen Xiaobei was only in the later phase of True Nirvana Cultivation. Wu Aofeng had accidentally let this truth slip but White-eyes, naturally, did not believe him. But when he heard the name of Wu Aofeng's sifu, he suddenly realized that they had covered up a lot of things.

"Chen… Chen Xiaobei?" White-eyes stared in disbelief. "AH, yes! In Phantom Rain's report, she mentioned that Chen Xiaobei had infiltrated Japan using the alias Chen Zhufeng… Zhufeng is really… No! It can't be wrong! It's not!"

"What? Are you going to run home to mummy?" Wu Aofeng smiled triumphantly. "My Sifu wants your head. Even if you kneel down now and call me your daddy, you will still die here!"

"Hmph! Chen Xiaobei's cultivation is just a piece of shit! He's only on the later phase of True Nirvana cultivation! You are just his disciple! Don't try to intimidate me!"

White-eyes' eyes burned with rage, literally.

"Alright! Shall we dance?" Wu Aofeng asked, smiling.

"What? Are you scared? Allow me to retaliate in your own words: Even if you kneel down now and call me your daddy, you will still die here!"

"Beg for mercy… Oh, look! A U.F.O!" Wu Aofeng suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the sky behind White-eyes.

"Moron! Do I look like a child to you? That's such a childish move! Don't try to trick me… Shit!"

Before the prick could finish his sentence, he felt a sudden rush of cold air behind his back. He never thought that a man like Wu Aofeng would make up such stupid joke—telling him that there was a U.F.O in the sky.

Swish!

It was gold silhouette swooping down from above.

"The Grand… Grand Leader of the Blood Descendants?!" White-eyes turned around; he nearly shat his pants.

It was a transformed Blood Descendant with golden hair and golden wings, and a pair of blood-red eyes with gold pupils.

Those were exactly the physical characteristics of the Grand Leader of the Blood Descendants!

He was now much faster and stronger than a human that was as powerful as him.

This meant that, White-eyes who only had 70,000 combat power, would never be able to get away!

This mother*cker would die here!

White-eyes wanted to cry. This 'U.F.O' was a deadly one!

"Die!"

The Grand Leader of the Blood Descendants appeared old but there was a certain firmness and austerity to him.

He roared and a dark gray Wind True Kang was set in motion.

He grasped a tornado in each hand like a Wind God and wanted to use the sharp Wind Blade to shred White-eyes.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

With the Wind Blade fast approaching, there was no escape for White-eyes.

His only option was to use his back to block the impact.

At the same time, he stepped on the ground really hard and used his own strength and the force of the Wind Blade to leap forward for at least ten meters.

Wu Aofeng watched the scene before him and cheered excitedly, "Oh! That's not bad at all! You're using the 'lizard-with-a-broken-tail' instinct?"

A lizard with a broken tail.

That was an apt description of White-eyes!

With his back ripped apart, flooding with blood and his bones peeking out at the place where the cut was deepest.

Luckily, he was quick to react. With only his back hurt, he used whatever energy that was left in him to duck and ran away, avoiding death

Had the Blood Descendant continued to stab at him, he would have died a horrible death!

"Don't get your hopes up just yet… Hack hack… I'm still not dead yet…"

White-eyes stood as far away as he could, taking in large heaving breaths of air.

His injury was only a flesh wound, nothing major. It was not enough to strike him out.

"You were able to escape that, one. But could you escape 15 more of those?"

The Grand Leader of the Blood Descendants looked disdainfully at White-eyes.

Two even more rabid Wind Blades was already in his hands, ready to take White-eyes life at any moment.

"Please! You won't be able to kill me!"

White-Eyes' eyes were ablaze; he was readying his own Special Ability, preparing to fight against his opponent.

"I already know you before this…" White-eyes looked at the Blood Descendent and said, "S.H.I.E.L.D and the Blood Descendants are in good relations. One of your princes is also an S-tier S.H.I.E.L.D agent. Are you sure you want to battle to the death with me…"

"I, Gordon Bryant, am the loyal hound of Chen Zhufeng!" The Blood Descendant said earnestly, "My master said to kill you! Screw S.H.I.E.L.D! Even if you are the President of the United States, I will still kill you!"

"What? Are… Are you saying that… You… the Grand Leader of the Blood Descendants have willingly become Chen Xiaobei's little pup? Are you insane?"

White-eyes could not believe what he had just heard. "What happened to the pride of the royal Blood Descendants? Haven't your people always considered yourself above everyone else? Don't tell me Chen Xiaobei is a deity and that made you want to be his dog… This is crazy! You've lost your mind!"

Gordon laughed.

"To be able to become master's dog is the best thing that has ever happened to me! Unlucky people like you don't even qualify to become his dog! The only thing that awaits you is death!"

Swoosh!

Gordon wasted no time and immediately attacked.

He raised the tornadoes in his hands and charged at White-eyes.

"Help! Help me! Chen Xiaobei's disciples are here! Somebody help me…"

Against Gordon's attack, White-eyes was not as panicky. He screamed for help as he warmed up his Special Ability.

Pew!

When Gordon was just about five meters away from him, two red hot beams shot out from White-eyes' eyes!

Boom! Boom!

The fiery beams collided with the tornado and were almost as powerful as Gordon's attack, blocking Gordon from taking another step forward.

"The hell! This idiot's eyes can spit fire! And his strength could counter Gordon's True Kang! That's unbelievable…"

Wu Aofeng was shocked.

He had never imagined something like that would happen outside sci-fi films.

What was even more unimaginable was that the fire was armed with 70,000 combat power.

If he were in Gordon's place, his True Kang would have been crushed and he would have been reduced to ashes already.

A-class S.H.I.E.L.D agents were no joke! No wonder they were so confident that they would be able to capture Chen Xiaobei! To his surprise, there was hidden power in the read beam!

"Grand Leader Gordon! Did you feel that? Your True Qi is running out!" White-eyes sniggered. "This is my Special Ability! I can burn up your True Qi in less than a minute! By that time, my allies would be here to finish the both of you! Hahaha…"

Fire was still shooting out from his eyes—fighting with Gordon's attack. At the same time, Gordon's True Qi was burning away really fast. This circumstance was similar to the phenomena called, counterattack in a football match. In this case, if Gordon came up with his strength to kill White-eyes, his True Qi would be drained up within seconds. And if he delayed the battle, White-eyes' allies would come and help him.

"Master Wu! Quickly do something! If he continues, you won't be able to slap him!"

Gordon was helpless but he was not afraid at all. In fact he was very calm as if they would never lose this battle.

"Alright! I was so caught up watching the fire, I nearly forgot!"

Wu Aofeng picked up the white cat in his arms and said, "Little Xiao Bai! It's your turn!"

"Mm~" Xiao Bai's lips twitched, looking very reluctant.

"Idiot! Gordon! Is there a hole in your brain? Why are you putting your life in the hands of a moron? That idiot is placing your life on a little kitten! Are you monkeys here to entertain me! Hahahah! You guys are so dumb! Hahaha…"

Gordon neither denied nor confirmed what White-eyes said. He simply continued to attack White-eyes to prevent him from escaping.

"King Xiao Bai! I already called you a king! If you don't attack now, things would turn ugly if you don't do it now!"

Xiao Bai yawned, still unwilling to move.

Wu Aofeng had no choice but to light some flames.

"Didn't you hear our enemy calling you a kitty cat? He even said that you're entertainment! How could you not do anything about that?"

"Grrr!"

Something snapped inside Xiao Bai. It leaped toward White-eyes and glared at him. Its fur was standing and there was murderous intent in its diamond eyes.

"Oh my god! This little is for real?" White-eyes chuckled. "If you come over here, I will stamp you to death! It's going to be as easy as crushing a cockroach!"

Xiao Bai's glare only grew fiercer at the taunt.

It might be small like a kitten but it was actually a ferocious lion king!

Crack! Crack! Crack!

With each step that Xiao Bai took, the ground would freeze under its paws.

The temperature within five meters of it dropped drastically and was covered in snow.

If Chen Xiaobei was there, he would have understood the words Xiao Bai was muttering.

"Absolute Zero Zone!"

Fuuuuh!

The temperature fell drastically as if both space and time had completely frozen.

"What… What the hell…. How could a tiny little kitten exude such powerful frost…"

White-eyes looked like he had just seen a ghost. Every time Xiao Bai walked a little closer to him, a layer of frost would cover his body.

Without True Kang Armor for protection, White-eyes could feel the biting cold freezing his skin, his blood vessels, his muscles and even right down into his bones!

"Stop… Please stop… Don't come any closer…" White-eyes screamed in a panic.

As his body was gradually freezing, the fire blazing from his eyes was also gradually diminishing.

His Special Ability was suppressed by the cold. Defeat was drawing close.

Once the fire was extinguished, White-eyes would die!

Fear flooded White-eyes and he felt as if his heart would explode. He had never imagined that he would be defeated in the end simply because he looked down on a little kitten.

Sizzle….

White-eyes' Special Ability was completely subdued. As the fire in his eyes dampened, and the smog rose into the air gradually dissipated, his eyes returned its original white color.

Xiao Bai hmphed, and curled its lips at White-eyes as if to say, 'that this stupid toy could not even last for half a minute of play time. What an insult!'

When the frost rescinded, Gordon also stopped.

"It's finally my time to shine! Wahaha…"

Wu Aofeng rubbed his hands together excitedly, rushing towards their enemy.

"What… What are you doing…"

White-eyes' body was frozen rock solid and his feet were glued to the ground.

He was completely helpless, like a fish on the chopping board, at Wu Aofeng's mercy.

"I've already told you that my nickname is Face Slapping Little Tornado! If I don't slap you, I would not be living up to my name!"

Wu Aofeng shot his victim a smile before raising his palm.

Smack! Smack! Smack! Smack…

The moment Face Slapping Little Tornado started to slap White-eyes, he could not stop. Slaps upon slaps landed on him without any mercy.

"This is for bad-mouthing my Sifu! This is for even thinking of capturing my Sifu! This is for wanting to squash Xiao Bai! The two people you were not supposed to mess with, you did. Die, you bastard!"

Wu Aofeng scolded as he delivered his slaps.

"Oof… I was wrong… I won't do it again… Please stop hitting me… Oof…"

White-eyes' face was a swollen purple.

"Master Wu, enough. His friends will be here soon." Gordon reminded.

"Alright! I'll stop here. The rest is in your hands!"

Wu Aofeng shrugged then sucker punched White-eyes twice in the eyes, giving him black eyes.

Zing!

Gordon did not even give the man a chance to beg for his life. Once Wu Aofeng was done, he sliced White-eyes' head off with his Wind Blade.

Gordon then picked up White-eyes head and used Body Dissolving Poison to destroy it.

Once they were down, all three of them left the scene.

...

A few hundred meters away, Chen Xiaobei's phone which was in silent mode, suddenly lit up. It was a message from Jiang ZIya.

Jiang Ziya: Xiaobei! There's a situation over at Wu Aofeng's! The enemy cried for help before he died. He might have drawn all the other targets as well as the Emperor God there. That would be a big problem!

Chen Xiaoebi: I know. I'm still trailing the Emperor God. He's close to that place. Instruct the others to kill the enemies as soon as they can! I will think of something to distract the Emperor God!

Jiang Ziya: Alright! Be careful! Also, when will Six Ear Macaque be sent out?

Chen Xiaobei: He'll have to wait. It's not the time yet.

Jiang Ziya: Understood.

Chen Xiaobei put away his phone and then deactivated the Nightstalker Outfit's invisible mode and intentionally made a loud rustling noise.

"Huh?"

The Emperor God stopped in his tracks, and turned around just in time to see Chen Xiaobei's silhouette.

"Hmph! So, you have been hiding here all along! Let's see where you can run to now!"

The Emperor God ran headlong towards Chen Xiaobei at a frightening speed.

To him, choosing to capture Chen Xiaobei over saving a S.H.I.E.L.D agent was a no brainer.

He only had one thing in mind—Chen Xiaobei!

Driven by profit, the Emperor God did not realize that he was actually walking into another one of Chen Xiaobei's trap.

...

In the other direction, the skeletal man was hurtling in the direction of the scream for help.

"Why is so quiet now? He was just screaming for help a minute ago! I hope nothing bad happened! Mr. Zar is waiting for us to go back and celebrate!"

With the screams hushed, the skeletal man felt his heart constrict.

S.H.I.E.L.D had randomly picked the three of them to capture Chen Xiaobei because they felt that this operation was child's play.

What's more, Mr. Zar had already called the President to inform him that they would be able to capture Chen Xiaobei today.

They celebration party had already been arranged. Even if they were able to capture Chen Xiaobei, but something terrible happened to their colleague, the celebration would not be a happy one.

As he thought about it, the skeletal man unconsciously increased his pace.

"Hang in there! I'm almost there!"

What he did not know was that out of three S.H.I.E.L.D agents, he was the only one left.

Swish!

As he ran past the cluster of trees, a white shadow suddenly shot out from behind the woods.

It was a white serpent, slinking like a leather belt between the trees.

"Huh? What was that?"

The skeletal man was caught off guard and could not react in time.

The white serpent wrapped itself around the skeletal man from head to toe, and squeezed.

"Who is it? Who attacked me? Show yourself!"

The skeletal man demanded as his gazed swept his surroundings.

He wanted to intimidate the person who was spying on him and to alert those near him so that they could come save him as quickly as possible.

"Stop yelling. Nobody is going to save you!"

Three shadows walked out from where the white serpent had come from.

"Who are you people? Why did you attack me? Tell me! Who are you?"

The skeletal man was hopping mad, the tension in his face made him look like a volcano on the verge of exploding.
