Chapter 712: Battle of the Four Emperors
Lin Fei's silhouette swiftly landed on the ground. The masked, black-clad men who hadn't been struck by arrows immediately drew their daggers, roaring as they charged at Lin Fei.
The gleam of blades flashed by, cold sparks flying everywhere.
The masked, black-clad men all swung their blades down at Lin Fei simultaneously.
Whoosh.
Lin Fei's figure flickered and disappeared from the spot.
All of the masked, black-clad men had bewildered and stunned expressions: Where did he go?
How did he suddenly vanish?
Just as these masked, black-clad men were still in shock, Lin Fei's figure suddenly appeared behind them.
His palms struck out simultaneously, as fast as lightning, hitting the backs, shoulders, and the back of the heads of each masked, black-clad man...
Under his double palm strikes, the bones of those hit made cracking sounds, cries of agony sounded one after another, and they flew out like scattered autumn leaves.
Some were slammed heavily onto the ground, others crashed into surrounding trees, and some ended up hanging from trees.
In just the blink of an eye, among the forty to fifty masked, black-clad men, those struck by arrows, those severely injured, and those hanging from trees, not a single one could stand up.
Under the moonlight in the sky, Lin Fei stood proudly in the clearing, surrounded by black-clad men lying on the ground. He appeared like a War God, majestic, with a powerful and vast aura.
Atop the trees in the forest, the Hidden Kill Four Emperors exchanged a glance before they all flew down from the treetops, landing silently like ghosts around Lin Fei.
They stood positioned around Lin Fei in the east, west, south, and north directions, four to five meters from him, surrounding him completely.
"Second, third, fourth, the Young Master has instructed, capture Li Fei alive, do not kill him," at this moment, a masked man in white standing in the east said to the other three of the Hidden Kill Four Emperors.
Upon hearing the person's voice, which sounded old, Lin Fei could conclude that the man in white was likely the leader of the Hidden Kill Four Emperors from his address of the others as second, third, and fourth.
"Understood, boss," the second, third, and fourth members of the Hidden Kill Four Emperors replied in unison.
Lin Fei, hearing their aged voices, deduced that the Hidden Kill Four Emperors must indeed be of significant age.
But this was not surprising; the strength of a Martial Emperor is that of a true powerhouse, and without decades of cultivation, it is nearly impossible to achieve that strength, unless one is an exceptionally talented prodigy who could achieve Martial Emperor status at a young age.
The leader of the Hidden Kill Four Emperors had eyes as sharp as blades, and the cold aura exuding from him seemed to lower the surrounding air temperature by several degrees, the chilling aura was overwhelming.
"Li Fei, you're truly bold, daring to cripple the Young Master's martial arts. I'll give you two choices: the first is to cripple your martial arts yourself and surrender; the second is to let us cripple your martial arts, and you'll suffer tremendously. What will you choose?" the leader of the Hidden Kill Four Emperors said coldly.
Lin Fei maintained a calm demeanor, a faint smile playing on his lips like a gentle breeze, and said, "Hidden Kill Four Emperors, you killed Zhan Mu, injured my good friend, and now you've broken the limbs of over a dozen of my classmates. I also have two choices for you."
"First, cripple your own martial arts and surrender; second, resist stubbornly, and I will take you down one by one, you heinously ruthless murderers."
After listening to Lin Fei's words, the Hidden Kill Four Emperors couldn't help but let out cold laughter: "Hahaha... Hehehe... Hohoho..."
"Did I hear wrong? Just you, little brat, want to kill us?" the leader of the Hidden Kill Four Emperors said with a voice full of mockery.
Lin Fei's expression remained earnest, "That's right. You are all guilty of heinous crimes, slaughtering innocent people. Even if I kill you, the police would reward me."
"Hahaha... You still want to be a hero! I'm afraid you won't become a hero; you'll turn into a coward!" the second of the Hidden Kill Four Emperors said sinisterly.
"Boss, this kid must be a fool, speaking such boastful words, unaware of the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth. Why are we wasting time with such a fool? Let's cripple his martial arts and take him back to the Young Master," the third of the Hidden Kill Four Emperors impatiently said, looking at the leader.
The leader of the Hidden Kill Four Emperors nodded: "Hmm, you're right, we've wasted too much time. It seems this kid wants us to make a move."
At this point, the leader of the Hidden Kill Four Emperors looked at the fourth and said, "Fourth, go cripple this kid's martial arts."
"Yes, boss," the fourth replied.
The leader, the second, and the third of the Hidden Kill Four Emperors crossed their arms in front of their chests, looking completely relaxed, as if watching a show.
At the same time, the fourth's gaze was sharp, and with a loud shout, he flew out, striking at Lin Fei with a palm as fast as lightning. The Martial Emperor's Qi in front of him instantly formed a shadow of a palm, larger than the fourth himself, a full two meters wide.
This indicated that the fourth of the Hidden Kill Four Emperors was at a second-tier Martial Emperor level.
The palm shadow was overwhelming, carrying immense pressure as it bore down on Lin Fei.
The eyes of the leader and the second and third of the Hidden Kill Four Emperors shone brightly with pride.
They knew well that the palm shadow formed by the fourth's Martial Emperor Qi had a force of ten thousand pounds. Once it enveloped Lin Fei, the enormous pressure would surely render Lin Fei immobile.
At that moment, the fourth would have no difficulty in crippling Lin Fei.
The gigantic palm shadow, condensed by the Martial Emperor's Qi, enveloped Lin Fei.
Under the shadow of the palm, as if amidst a raging storm, Lin Fei's hair and clothes fluttered.
He seemed to be under unbearable pressure, his brows furrowed, appearing as if he would collapse at any moment.
Seeing this, the eyes of the leader, second, and third of the Hidden Kill Four Emperors shone even brighter. They could almost envision the scene of Lin Fei being crippled by the fourth.
The fourth, who was attacking Lin Fei, also had a gleam of cruelty and eagerness in his eyes, fully confident of victory.
Swish.
The fourth's silhouette was ghostly, attacking Lin Fei enveloped by the enormous palm shadow.
Amidst the raging storm, a loud bang sounded like the collapsing of mountains and splitting of the earth, and the air shook violently.
The next moment, a scream resounded as a white silhouette flew out like a kite with a broken string.
A heavy thud followed, as the white silhouette crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
The mask fell off, revealing the old and pale face of the fourth.
With a splatter, the fourth spat out a large mouthful of blood.
The eyes of the leader, second, and third of the Hidden Kill Four Emperors showed utter disbelief.
They could hardly believe that the fourth had been sent flying by Lin Fei, and was heavily injured, spitting blood!
After a long moment, the three finally came back to their senses.
"I didn't expect your strength to be even higher than the fourth's. It seems we underestimated you," the leader of the Hidden Kill Four Emperors said with a gleam of fierce determination in his eyes, then spoke to the second and third: "Let's attack together and see if this kid can still withstand it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the leader of the Hidden Kill Four Emperors launched a palm attack at Lin Fei. Amidst the fierce winds, a palm shadow, condensed by Martial Emperor's Qi and standing three meters tall, pressed down on Lin Fei like a small mountain.
The second and third also launched their attacks, but the shadows of their palms, formed by the Martial Emperor's Qi, were only two meters tall, their strength not as formidable as the leader's.
The trio unleashed their powerful moves, tearing through the air, their killing intent immense, seemingly about to push Lin Fei into a desperate situation!
