Chapter 88: Gu Yan's Ultimate Move

The members of the Azure Dragon Gang, especially their experts, did not all sit around inside the gang. Some handled missions, some gambled, some frequented brothels; talent abounded there, and that was what truly made a faction.

A group of young people took the lead and went straight for the Azure Dragon Gang, making such a stir that the whole city heard of it. Spies from every major and minor power all rushed toward the gang.

Everyone wanted to know: who were these people, and what was their background?

It must be said that, to match the veils worn by Jade and Wind, the women had all covered their faces. Jade removed hers for a moment and then put it back on, so no one could tell the ages of these perfectly proportioned figures.

This even made Gu Feng feel that he ought to wear a mask too. After thinking it over for a long while, he decided to follow the crowd and exchanged for a mask to put on.

Gao Dongliu looked at Gu Feng wearing a mask and thought he was afraid of being recognized by the Azure Dragon Gang. He held out a hand and said, “Brother Feng, where’s mine?”

Gu Feng rolled his eyes at him and tossed one to him as well.

The old man watched, dumbfounded. After pondering for a moment, he took out his own foot-cloth, not caring in the least about the smell, and wrapped it over his face.

The women saw Gu Feng and Gao Dongliu dressed like that and asked in confusion, “What are you two doing? We’re not going to rob anyone.”

Gu Feng grinned and said, “I’m handsome, so I’m afraid the girls will fall for me. Best to keep a low profile. As for him, he’s simply ugly, afraid of frightening the children.”

Gao Dongliu was not having it. He roared, “Boss, how am I ugly?”

“Who dares to run wild in my Azure Dragon Gang?”

An old man with a withered yellow face flew in from afar. One look told anyone he had overindulged in wine and women, but his cultivation was not low: level seven Spirit Master.

Of course, that was only not low by the standards of others.

Looking at the old man, Gu Feng sneered, “A bigger one has arrived. Which of you is going?”

“I will.”

Jade had long grown impatient waiting; this time she was not going to let anyone else take the lead.

In truth, Jade’s fierce temperament was tied to the Devouring Art she cultivated. That seductive feeling could be suppressed, but it still remained.

Jade rose into the air, and her spirit weapon appeared once more.

“A spirit weapon, truly a spirit weapon, and not an ordinary one at that.”

When Jade had used the spirit weapon before, many people had already seen it, and by now the news had spread through White Spirit City.

The old man frowned. He also had a spirit weapon, but it was the lowest grade, obtained only after paying a great price, and it did not match his attributes at all.

“Who exactly are you people?”

Without knowing their identities, the old man did not dare make a mortal enemy of them, lest disaster be brought upon himself.

In this world where martial strength reigned supreme, beyond the rule of the fist there was also the need not to offend those one could not afford to offend. Only by treading carefully at every step could one live long.

At that moment, from every direction, more high-ranking members of the Azure Dragon Gang rushed back. Looking at Jade, who held a spirit weapon in her hand, their eyes held both greed and wariness.

Another person asked, “Who are you people?”

Spies from the great powers, and even some experts, hid in the distance to watch the situation here.

“You ask who we are? We are the ones here to take your lives. Die!”

Jade slashed at the nearest old man with her sword.

A terrifying wind blade swelled endlessly in size.

Only then did the old man sense Jade’s cultivation. “Level eight Spirit Master? Impossible. How could there be such a young Spirit Master, and a level eight one at that?”

The old man defended with all his might, using a defensive talisman he had treasured for years.

With a thunderous blast, the defensive talisman successfully blocked the enormous wind blade.

Jade seized the chance and charged at him, pointing a finger toward his dantian.

“Not good!”

With a puff, the old man immediately burned his essence blood, his aura surging until it reached level eight Spirit Master.

But even then, he was only on par with Jade.

Her fingertip lightly touched his dantian.

The old man had barely time to register the contact when he felt a tremendous suction force. The spiritual energy within his body no longer obeyed him, surging toward his dantian and being absorbed by Jade’s finger.

The other members of the Azure Dragon Gang were stunned speechless, even forgetting to come to his aid.

“Next one.”

After dealing with the old man, Jade turned her gaze to a fat man whose cultivation was about the same as the old man’s, also level seven Spirit Master.

Seeing her gaze, the fat man turned pale with fright and fled at once.

Someone of his own level had been instantly killed. He would certainly meet the same fate; escaping was the only correct choice.

Jade suddenly accelerated, transforming into a gale as she gave chase.

So fast was she that in the blink of an eye she had caught up to the fat man.

The fat man was so terrified that his soul nearly fled its shell. He dropped to his knees in midair and begged for mercy. “Fairy, spare my life! I haven’t done anything evil!”

A finger touched his dantian, and in the blink of an eye he followed in the old man’s footsteps.

“You—”

Jade was no longer the timid girl she once had been, and she would not be so easily deceived.

“Run!”

The other members of the Azure Dragon Gang, all only level five or six Spirit Masters, no longer dared linger.

Jade had no interest in devouring their spiritual energy; they were too weak. She rose high into the air, her aura erupting, and it seemed as though the wind elements of heaven and earth were under her command. At the tip of her sword, a wind sphere the size of a fist gathered and compressed, radiating an almost apocalyptic pressure.

Gu Feng watched Jade, who looked like the goddess of wind, and muttered, “A finishing move? So cool. Seems I don’t really have one. My only finishing move is probably self-detonation.”

“Go!”

The wind sphere drifted slowly toward the depths of the Azure Dragon Gang.

“Slow” here was only in comparison with Jade’s usual attack speed; in truth, it was still very fast.

“Stop!”

A terrifying aura came crashing down from deep within the Azure Dragon Gang.

At the same time, a figure blocked the wind sphere’s path. He extended a hand, releasing terrifying yellow power in an attempt to envelop it.

Jade coldly uttered one word: “Explode!”

Boom!

The wind sphere exploded at once, and the horrifying shockwave swept across a radius of a thousand meters. Fierce gales erupted and blew even farther outward, sending some people flying through the air.

Even that old man would have been blown away if Gu Feng had not caught him in time.

On the ground, the vast majority of the Azure Dragon Gang’s buildings had been destroyed. Everyone below Spirit Master level within five hundred meters of the explosion perished instantly.

“Roar!”

When the dust settled, the Azure Dragon Gang’s leader flew into the air, hair disheveled, a suit of armor in tatters, looking like a beggar at the roadside, utterly miserable. He glared at Jade, fury blazing in his eyes.

“Little girl, you’ve angered me. No matter what your background is, today you die.”

He was at the peak of Spirit Master cultivation, an expert with the prospect of breaking through to Great Spirit Master. He had the right to say such words.

“Is that so? Your tone really annoys me, so I dislike you. And people I dislike, I usually kill.”

Xue Lin leaped into the air and stood beside Jade.

Jade looked toward Xue Lin. “I want to try. I’m not at my limit yet.”

“What?”

Now it was Xue Lin’s turn to be shocked. Jade, at level eight Spirit Master, had made a peak Spirit Master look utterly disheveled and even injured him with a single strike, yet she claimed she had not reached her limit. Just how powerful was Jade?

“Sister, you...”

Xue Lin wanted to persuade her.

Jade said, “Sister, please trust me.”

Then she looked toward Gu Feng. “Brother, do you trust me?”

Gu Feng smiled faintly. “Of course I trust my Jade. Do your best!”
