690 Night Attack!
"Su Tiancheng's daughter."
"Do you know what that signifies?" Wu Feng mumbled to himself, "Su Hao's sudden rise definitely had some relation with Su Tiancheng. Then, what about Su Ling? Perhaps there are hidden treasures within her..."
"Before the exam, I must get her within my palm!"
"Keep watch on her. If any man dares to approach her, break their legs for me!" Wu Feng proudly continued, "The current Jianghe City is the Wu family's playground!"
"Yes, Young Master." The middle-aged man quietly left.
At the same time, only God knew how many people had some idea on Su Ling. Her title as Su Tiancheng's daughter isn't a small one. Coupled with the sudden emergence of Su Hao, many wished to see whether Su Tiancheng did leave some treasures behind. However, their methods were more tactful.
On the surface, Jianghe City was still as peaceful as ever.
But in the dark, one had lost count of how many times confrontations had occurred among forces especially in the areas near the Su family. The major forces had clashed in secret many times, causing many deaths and injuries!
And it was all for Su Ling!
Their only competitors are the geniuses from other forces with similar authority. As for Su Ling herself, well... What's her background? The only backing the Su family has is Su Hao himself!
During the first semester, Su Hao's strength and pride were too bright that nobody could shake it. The turmoil in Gaoyuan City indeed shocked countless people! However, the rumor during the second semester made those with motives eager to take action, especially with the news of Su Hao being injured and having to recuperate.
During that battle, Su Hao's usage of forbidden technique had been exposed which matched his recent closed-door cultivation. Plus, as the exam is around the corner, all the forces couldn't wait any longer and began to move.
Every day, outside the Su family's door, there will be a confrontation among many forces.
Su Ling's headmaster is considered as one who has great strength. Previously, he was considered the number one esper in Jianghe City. However, in the current Jianghe City, he is a nobody. In front of the great forces, he was just an item for display.
Many people were aware of the Su family's situation but couldn't contribute much.
Chen Haonian had helped the Su family once before, but after killing several professional espers, he suffered a serious injury from a peak professional esper and was forced to retreat. Compared to those raptors which migrated to this city, he was too weak and could only able to protect himself.
Considering Su Hao's situation, the only thing that the Federation could do is to prevent anyone from attacking Su Ling directly. As a family member of a Zhanzheng College's disciple, the Su family deserved such treatment.
Not to mention, Su Hao's previous contribution to the Federation.
However...
It is only limited during day time. Once the sky turns dark, that was no longer under the scope of the Federation.
Tonight, outside of Su family's home, yet another clash was happening.
However, as the exam was approaching, finally some force couldn't hold themselves anymore. After winning the battle, their paws were finally extending to the Su family for the first time.
"Forget about the consequences!"
"Get it done first and we will talk later!"
This was coming from a peak professional esper. In a place like Jianghe City, he is considered a big shot, and this expert suddenly rushed into the Su family household.
Others tried to stop him. However, it was too late, and they could only watch him rush inside.
And then...
Snap~
A soft sound rang in their eardrums.
Everyone was startled.
That peak professional esper who leaped forward earlier got himself covered in black smoke. He fell on the ground, struggling in pain. When everyone looked over here, they were all stunned.
One of his arms had disappeared!
Just now...
That one moment!
"Who?"
Everyone became highly alarmed.
From the shadow, a laidback voice could be heard, "Everyone, today I don't wish to kill. Just retreat and end this."
"Ridiculous." A level five professional esper sneered, "Stop pretending to be mysterious. Which group are you from that you're trying to keep everything..."
Thud!
Before that man finished his words, he was slammed to the ground.
The surrounding crowd was startled.
Who is this? Acting so mysterious and capable of easily killing professional espers, could it be a domain esper?
"If you step within 100 meters of the Su family's home, I will spare no one!" That cold voice continued.
Everyone was stunned.
This was their first time being this close to the Su family. It was also the first time someone resorted to force, but the result...
So, from the beginning, the Su family always had someone guarding them?
Which force is this man from?
The battles between the forces these few days turned into a joke.
As long as one does not get close within 100 meters, that man won't make a move. Looking at each other, everyone returned to report to their higher-ups that the Su family has a mysterious guardian.
The next day, someone didn't believe the news and was killed on the spot. A peak professional esper was turned into nothing, horrifying many.
What kind of talent is this?
What kind of strength is this?
The forces in Jianghe City then entered a dormant state.
Three days later, the 100-meter radius around Su family's home became a forbidden area!
"At first, I thought this matter would end like this. However, never would I expect that just tonight alone, numerous people quietly came."
"Are you sure?" Wu Feng looked coldly at the middle-aged man in front of him.
"Yes, Young Master. The news is accurate." That middle-aged man reassured.
"Great, I nearly got frightened away. I thought Su Hao has a domain esper or something alike but never would I thought that it was all just a paper tiger." Wu Feng smiled sinisterly, "But this is good for us. Since other forces have retreated and the exam is about to begin, then consider today as the deadline then. "
"Hahahaha."
"They had worked so hard just to prepare my wedding."
Swish!
Swish!
Countless people approached the Su family.
Wu Feng waved his hand to sign, "Charge!"
That's right!
Even after experiencing the death of a peak professional esper, Wu Feng still issued such an order. Countless men in black rushed forward.
Hiss!
All sorts of sounds could be heard.
White smoke invaded all over the place.
Within the circumference of 100 meters, a dense smog appeared, causing many to scream in pain. If you want to step into this zone, you will have to pay the price.
This had been warned previously.
Spare no one!
However, facing such a situation, Wu Feng was still assumed his cold face and commanded.
"Charge!"
The men under his command marched forward. They were all his family's cannon fodder, and each one of them fell in front of Su family's house. A few moments later, more than one hundred espers died!
However...
At this time, unexpectedly...
He rushed forward!
He actually ignored the 100-meter zone and took a huge stride forward. A few others who didn't charge earlier felt strange and also attempted. Without any hindrance, they were suddenly feeling excited.
The so-called barrier seemed to have disappeared.
"Just as I suspected." Wu Feng sneered, "So I have won my bet. The one who is close to the Su family and possesses such strength in Jianghe City, there is only one such character, berserk master, Zhang Zhongtian!"
The surrounding turned into silence.
There was no reply.
Wu Feng continued his indifferent tone, "Hey, Senior Zhang, stop trying to act mysterious anymore. If I really don't know anything, I would have definitely been fooled by you, but now... hehe, your drug is probably about to run off. If you still insist on not coming out, don't blame me for charging in with no reserve."
Cough, cough~
Coughs coming from an old man echoed.
A somewhat embarrassed figure slowly walked out. Surprisingly, it was really Zhang Zhongtian!
"Sure enough, it's you! Master Zhang." Wu Feng casually said.
"How did you manage to make such a guess?" Zhang Zhongtian's voice was showing a hint of bitterness.
"Hehe, this old man's strength is after all just reaching the professional realm not long ago."
"Well, this is kinda easy?" Wu Feng smiled indifferently, "After the beast tide in Jianghe City, you have bought a huge amount of medicinal materials, and the Wu family provided a majority of them. And these materials are mostly synthetic; the biggest possibility is using them to produce some kind of bone devouring drug."
"It's strong enough to erase any esper under the domain realm!" Wu Feng explained enthusiastically.
Zhang Zhongtian looked at his figure and sighed, "Yes, you're right. To be able to plan this meticulously, what percent f Su Hao's IQ do you have?"
"Su Hao?" Wu Feng smirked, "He's just a shrub with poisonous leaves!"
"No matter how great his talent is, so what? Without knowing how to judge a situation, without knowing how to submit when it's necessary, in the end, he would still end up as waste! The current situation he faced in Zhanzheng College, isn't that created by his own actions?" Wu Feng said in disdain.
"He's such a useless bone that he didn't know how to use the resources left by his father."
"Haha." Zhang Zhongtian shook his head, "I take back the praise I gave earlier."
"Stop uttering nonsense." Wu Feng was no longer patient, "I called you Senior due to your reputation as a drug master. You know that you can't stop me, yet here you are, trying to block me!"
"How do you know that I can't stop you?" Zhang Zhongtian smirked.
"Your bone devouring drug should be finished by now." Wu Feng continued his indifferent tone, "As for your strength, as someone who just stepped into the professional realm, what can you achieve here?"
Boom!
Behind Wu Feng, that middle-aged man revealed his true might, a peak professional esper!
"Take Su Ling away."
"Yes!" That middle-aged man came forward.
Zhang Zhongtian made a move again and blocked that middle-aged man. Countless drugs appeared from his hands, creating chaos in the surrounding. With his strength, he was actually able to stop this middle-aged man forcefully!
Bang!
Bang!
That man actually couldn't even get close.
"A great move, Master Zhang." Wu Feng's eyes shone, "If not of our surprise attack that made your preparations be a hasty one, we would probably return with empty hands. Too bad..."
Zhang Zhongtian didn't answer and only continued to block them.
What Wu Feng said was right.
If he was given time, who cares about a peak professional esper?
Even if he couldn't kill them, he could still intercept them with ease!
However...
Who would have imagined that after a few days of silence, this Wu family suddenly launched a huge scale operation, reducing all the drugs he had prepared. Plus, there were other medicines which he didn't bring along sadly.
Boom!
A light ray flickered, and the middle-aged man's origin technique erupted, blasting Zhang Zhongtian away.
Without his drugs, the gap of strength between them is too big!
"Master Zhang, why not follow our Wu family? Although we're not comparable to the top ten families, the difference won't be much. At least, with such a background, it is a zillion times better than following Su Hao, right? Entering our Wu family, we can provide unlimited funds for your study in pharmaceuticals. You can truly live for yourself without worry. How about this?" Wu Feng calmly continued, "After all, studying pharmaceutical practices is a road full of mystery, isn't it?"
"Hehe." Zhang Zhongtian shook his head, "You guys... If I really wish to live like that, I would have stayed at the Zhang family. Why would I need to come out into the outside world? Ridiculous!"
"Zhang family..." Wu Feng's face suddenly changed, "For you to throw this word out from your mouth, could it be the one and only Zhang family within the top ten families? Right, your surname is Zhang. You're actually an outer disciple of the Zhang family! If this is the case, then I can't leave your life intact. After all, you're merely a drug master."
Wu Feng's facial expression turned cold.
He is a decisive person. Anyone whom he failed to recruit, he definitely will not spare. Giving his order without hesitation, he shouted, "Kill him!"
"Yes!" The middle-aged man made his move.
Wu Feng suddenly took a sigh, "What a pity. If Su Ling was obedient, how can there be so many things happening? A little girl from high school is actually so difficult to deal with."
Boom!
That man blasted one punch forward.
Zhang Zhongtian smiled bitterly for a second. He probably would have never thought that he would end up dying like this. However, Su Hao's request to him...
He's afraid that he could no longer fulfill it.
That middle-aged man's fist was getting closer and closer in Zhang Zhongtian's eyes. When he thought that a grim reaper was approaching, he noticed that the fist in front of him halted and couldn't get any closer!
It stopped at the same spot, like a statue.
A shadow then emerged out of nowhere behind that man.
That familiar figure made Zhang Zhongtian's heart skipped a beat. Could it be...
