Chapter 368 Feng XIII the Shrewd

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

The Great Patriarch had gone away!

The other patriarchs were all confused, because the Great Patriarch rarely left the Kokyo. Why did he leave at such a crucial time?

But it did not matter to them now. What was important was that they had to keep the man in the sack.

Xiao Bing realized that it could not have been such a coincidence. He believed that it was Feng XIII’s plan that made Iza Kawatani go away, and these men had tried to take the ones with the Gods’ Blood.

He thought that Feng XIII had known the rumor about the appearance of the Superior Weapon, and told it to his Master. Iza Kawatani did some research and realized that it was already a widely-known fact. So he went off in a hurry and planned to take the ones with Gods’ Blood. But he did not know what were his plans for that man.

But no matter what happened, Xiao Bing would never just cast away that man with Gods’ Blood.

Xiao Bing suddenly spoke up, with a stern face, “You have spotted me. Since you are willing to let me leave, I will go and I will leave this man to you.”

As he expected, these patriarchs made way for him, while staring at him with their vigilant eyes. They let Xiao Bing go because they sensed the danger from him. The cost of killing Xiao Bing might be too much to bear.

Xiao Bing left without casting another glance at the man in that sack. Seeing Xiao Bing leaving the Kokyo, the nine Patriarchs felt relieved all at once.

Xiao Bing had gone about 10 meters away, when he suddenly rushed back, and slashed at the second patriarch’s head, before they realized what happened.

Surprised and infuriated, the second patriarch fought back, only to find that that his power had weakened. He could not even exert half of his strength. The other patriarchs growled and lunged at Xiao Bing, using their massive strength.

Though the power coming at him was formidable, Xiao Bing did not seem to have any fear. If the power of a Gang-strength master was a river, then that of a Void-breaking master was like an endless ocean.

But rivers could converge into a sea.

Even Xiao Bing could not nullify this power totally.

There were two options for Xiao Bing at the moment. One was to kill the second patriarch by any means. But he could get hurt if he was hit by their power first. If he did not kill the second patriarch, even at the cost of being injured, he would be probably killed.

The other option was to dodge the strikes delivered by the group of eight first, instead of killing the second patriarch. Then he could try to defeat them, one by one.

But according to Xiao Bing’s current strength, even the nine patriarchs could not beat him. But there were more men coming. Xiao Bing was not sure that if he could defeat the nine patriarchs, and take the man in the sack.

He was staking his life on it.

But the result was… The second patriarch felt a formidable suction which kept pushing him toward Xiao Bing. Xiao Bing held him by the waist and turned around, hiding himself behind this old man. The other patriarchs began cursing and managed to withhold their power, which hurt them slightly. But then, Xiao Bing lifted the second patriarch up and threw him toward the eight of them, then reached for the sack on the ground.

First he pretended to compromise, then he pretended to attack the second patriarch. But actually he was using this old man as a bait, so that he could take the man in the sack, before the patriarchs realized it.

Xiao Bing threw the second patriarch with all his massive strength. As he expected, they had to catch their flying colleague, while Xiao Bing reached for the sack.

Then he heard endless gunfire. Millions of bullets were coming at him. But when they got close to Xiao Bing, they slipped off from their course and hit the ground nearby, which left Xiao Bing unharmed.

Then Xiao Bing grabbed the sack and placed it on his shoulder, planning to fight his way to the exit. Dozens of powerful guards were coming at him. Xiao Bing delivered a strike with his palm. The massive strength that came from his palm knocked over his enemies, as they wailed and shouted in surprise. Another hail of bullets came at Xiao Bing. But he dodged them all, once again.

Feng XIII, who was hiding in a secret place, murmured to himself, “What a monster he is. How could he seem so at ease, while being attacked by so many men in the Kokyo?”

More men were came pouring in from all directions. Xiao Bing dared not stay any longer. While he planned to leave, he suddenly heard someone growling. Then the second patriarch descended from above, slashing at Xiao Bing’s head with his hands. The other patriarchs followed him.

“Damn, they are really hard to deal with!”

Then Xiao Bing was being attacked from all sides by the nine patriarchs.

Xiao Bing felt troubled, since he was merely at the middle stage of Void-breaking, especially when he was carrying someone on his back. Feeling humiliated, the second patriarch came back at him with a vengeance, much like a savage dog. He did not care about the man on Xiao Bing’s back anymore, while Xiao Bing had to ensure this man’s safety. But it seemed that neither of them could get the upper hand.

Then 10 men in black rushed out from the Koyko. Xiao Bing found that most of them were at the level of Transforming-stage, and some of them were even at the Elixir-strength stage.

Xiao Bing fretted. If he stayed here any longer, he might not be able to leave this place with the man on his back. Even if he could escape here alone, he would be seriously injured.

The nine patriarchs had mounting endurance. Though none of them were as powerful as Xiao Bing, they were all seasoned fighters, and Xiao Bing found it hard to beat them.

The nine patriarchs exchanged a glance and nodded their heads in unison. Then they stood in a row, and delivered a strike with their right palms. Nine wisps of Gang spirit converged into an extremely formidable power that was aimed at Xiao Bing. With a stern expression, Xiao Bing cast aside the sack. Then the power inside him seemed to grow rapidly as his eyes glittered wildly. Then he pushed all the power to his palms.

Xiao Bing slashed out, facing the formidable Gang spirit from the nine patriarchs, like a dragon. The two parties crashed into each other. Then Xiao Bing felt the blood rising from his throat. But he forced himself to swallow it down. The nine patriarchs flew backward and fell to the ground.

This was the difference between Gang-strength and Void-breaking.

Together, they could not defeat Xiao Bing, even if they were all of Gang-strength.

But Xiao Bing dared not stay any longer, since he was badly injured. His enemies here were not only the nine patriarchs. The elder group in Kokyo was the symbol of the supreme force. But the emperor must have other hidden forces like those men in black. The moment Xiao Bing decided to leave with the man who had God’s Blood, he whirled around and found the sack had been grabbed by someone. Then that man carried it on his shoulder and retreated. Xiao Bing watched this man running further and further away.

He found this man to be quite familiar, then realized that it was Feng XIII, the student of Iza Kawatani.

Xiao Bing had not expected Feng XIII to make an appearance. The nine patriarchs were so powerful together, that he had to make every effort to fight. So, Feng XIII took advantage of it.

Xiao Bing growled and rushed into the crowd, while knocking people down. Xiao Bing was too angry to show any mercy. “Who dares to stop me!” Xiao Bing shouted as he left corpses behind.

Afterwards, the men who rushed in from the Koyko caught up with Xiao Bing and began to strike him. Xiao Bing knocked them down. He had some new injuries, and his old injuries were getting worse. He spat out a mouthful of blood.

The second patriarch, the strongest among them, managed to get onto his feet. His level was extremely close to Void-breaking. Though the other patriarchs were still unable to stand up, he could still fight.

The moment the second patriarch lurched to his feet, his men aimed at Xiao Bing with their guns. The situation was extremely unfavorable to Xiao Bing.

There was a killing intent in the eyes of the second patriarch. “This man is really powerful. We must not let him leave alive.”

Xiao Bing looked around and found himself surrounded by so many warriors. It seemed impossible for him to escape today. But then he saw a familiar figure rushing out from the crowd. “Aoki Ichiro, how can you do this to me? How could you lie to me?” He heard the cry of a girl.

Xiao Bing’s mind went blank for a moment, because he found that it was Princess Nami.

While Xiao Bing was considering what he should do, should the princess come near him, the princess had already appeared before him and pummeled his chest with her fists. “Take me as your hostage, so that you can go.” She whispered in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them.
