181: Chapter 181 Three-way Landlord Game, A Bomb Falls from the Sky!

Instructor Ying Wuhen.

Young Master Gu Lingfeng narrowed his eyes.

That madwoman who, at Tier 5, had assassinated multiple Tier 7 Awakened.

Her name occupied a separate tab in the Hunter Association's archives...

"Confirmed kills of Tier 7 targets: Seven."

It wasn't a challenge across tiers, it wasn't a frontal kill; it was an assassination.

Although he wasn't afraid of a fight, Instructor Ying Wuhen's personality was truly sinister.

If he offended her, the Hunter Association's business in the Dark Zone would be compromised.

"Hmph! Others might fear her, but I certainly don't!"

Young Master Gu Lingfeng withdrew some of his pressure, but his posture remained rigid.

Night Crow didn't respond.

The two sides stood in a standoff across the charred basin.

The Thunder Horn Rhino sensed the hostility from both sides and slowly turned its massive body, its dark blue slit pupils scanning back and forth between the two parties.

On the two-meter-long thunder horn at the tip of its nose, electric arcs suddenly surged, crackling loudly.

Neither side dared to move first.

The side that moved first would have to face the dual pressure of the other party and the Thunder Horn Rhino.

Young Master Gu Lingfeng broke the stalemate first.

He couldn't afford to waste any more time.

For Commander Huangfu Jing's Phoenix Feather Shield, for their future...

"Very well. Since you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit, I'll clear out you shadow rats first!"

Young Master Gu Lingfeng gave a cruel smile, his gaze suddenly sharpening.

"Clear the field!"

As he spoke, the Source Energy in his body began to surge wildly.

SS-Rank Earth Talent — [Mystic Gold Flowing Sand], initiated instantly!

Young Master Gu Lingfeng's right arm began to change.

Fine golden sand grains surged from the surface of his skin, spreading from his fingertips all the way to his shoulder; half of his body had completed sandification before everyone's eyes.

The four Hunter guards behind him also felt a chill in their hearts.

Young Lord is getting serious!

They also began to activate their talents one after another.

In the blink of an eye, the Source Energy fluctuations of the five opponents climbed to a level that made Night Crow's scalp tingle.

The two Tier 6 instructors on his side stepped forward half a step, shielding Night Crow while holding hidden weapons in their hands.

Young Master Gu Lingfeng had originally been arrogant, waiting for Night Crow to soften and retreat.

But the moment Instructor Shen Yuee and Instructor Lin Yan stepped forward and shielded Night Crow behind them, his expression suddenly darkened.

Tier 6!

And two Tier 6s proficient in the way of assassination!

Just a student, yet he brought two Tier 6 instructors along?

"Young Master Gu has quite the big mouth." Instructor Shen Yuee chuckled, the tear mole at the corner of her eye shaking slightly,

"Is the young master of the Kyoto Gu family planning to bully the weak and pick on our Shadow Academy students?"

The dark purple moon shadow beneath her feet slowly spread out, its edge just grazing the boundary of Young Master Gu Lingfeng's sand Domain.

The moment the two sides made contact, the Mystic Gold iron sand hissed, its luster fading at a speed visible to the naked eye.

S-Rank Talent · Dark Domain Class...

[Nether Moon Shadow Domain]!

On the other side, Instructor Lin Yan hadn't spoken from the beginning.

He just tilted his head, and the short dagger at his fingertips spun faster.

Seven Clones appeared simultaneously, holding cold-glinting short daggers, surrounding Night Crow in the middle.

S-Rank Talent · Dark Clone Class...

[Thousand Shadow Absolute Kill]!

No Killing Intent, no sound, yet it had more pressure than any challenge.

True killers never shout that they are going to kill.

Night Crow's pupils constricted slightly, and he also drew his own short blade.

He quickly reviewed the situation in his mind.

His side had two Tier 6 instructors; the other side only had one Tier 6, Young Master Gu Lingfeng, but the four Hunter Association members behind him were definitely not just for show, at least two of them were Tier 5.

If a real fight broke out, he, at Peak Tier 4, wouldn't be able to hold up under a four-on-one assault.

If the two instructors got hurt because of him, he wouldn't be able to answer to Instructor Ying Wuhen, let alone himself.

He couldn't fight hard, he couldn't soften up; he had to give both sides a way out.

Suspend the ownership of the Thunder Horn Rhino temporarily, work together to take it down first, and then divide the Materials based on ability.

This was the only solution he could think of that wouldn't let either side suffer a loss.

"Young Master Gu Lingfeng!" Night Crow said in a deep voice,

"Are you sure you want to fall out with the Shadow Academy here?"

"That depends on whether you leave or stay."

Young Master Gu Lingfeng, currently in the throes of passionate love, had lost his head.

But with his strength and talent, even facing two Tier 6s, he wasn't afraid in the slightest.

This Thunder Horn Rhino today, he, Young Master Gu Lingfeng, was determined to get!

Even if he had to use his trump card, he wouldn't hesitate!

He raised his sandified right arm, and the golden sand gathered in his palm into a spear of flowing sand.

"Three seconds."

Night Crow gritted his teeth.

The two instructors were already prepared for battle.

If this fight started, even if he won, he would be severely injured.

Severe injury meant a recovery period, and a recovery period meant his contribution progress would be delayed again.

Moreover, the Thunder Horn Rhino was still watching the show on the side; who knew if it would intervene at a critical moment.

A total loss.

Any way you slice it, it was a total loss.

Is this Gu family young master a madman?!

"One."

Young Master Gu Lingfeng started counting.

Instructor Lin Yan's Clones leaned forward slightly, shadows spreading silently beneath their feet.

"Two."

The golden flowing sand spear tip was aimed at Instructor Shen Yuee's throat.

Just as Young Master Gu Lingfeng was about to shout "Three"...

Hum.

A sharp whistle that made everyone present feel a piercing pain in their eardrums came from extremely high up.

Everyone looked up at the same time.

The Thunder Horn Rhino also raised its hideous giant head.

High in the sky.

The thick clouds were torn apart by a blue light.

A small black dot was rapidly enlarging in their field of vision.

Something humanoid, in a free-fall posture, was smashing straight down from a thousand meters in the air.

A sonic boom cone exploded around the figure, white shockwave clouds tearing the air, the edges tinged with a line of dark red due to violent friction.

Night Crow's pupils shrank.

Young Master Gu Lingfeng's flowing sand spear froze in mid-air.

"BOOM...!"

The earth shattered.

The landing point was in the center of the basin, less than thirty meters from the Thunder Horn Rhino.

The shockwave expanded violently with the landing point as the center, a layer of the scorched earth was lifted, and gravel flew like a barrage.

Everyone was knocked off their feet by this terrifying shockwave.

Young Master Gu Lingfeng's half-sandified body resisted the impact, but the ground beneath his feet cracked into spiderweb-like fissures.

This kind of Physical Body strength and impact force...

Above Tier 7!

Definitely a Body Refining expert above Tier 7!

Night Crow only had one thought in his mind:

We're screwed!

The two teams staring each other down had turned into a three-way landlord game, and now a king bomb had dropped from the sky!

There was absolutely no chance for this Tier 6 Thunder Horn Rhino today.

Smoke and dust filled the air.

The Thunder Horn Rhino was staggered back two steps by the impact, the electric arcs on its nasal horn surging wildly, emitting a thunderous sound that was almost a roar.

The dust gradually dissipated.

A figure in a black combat suit stood in the center of the deep crater.

His boots were sunk into the cracked ground, with cracks extending a dozen meters around him.

And he himself...

Not even a hair was out of place.

The young man raised his head, his gaze passing over the stunned three parties, and locked directly onto the Thunder Horn Rhino in the distance, which was facing a formidable enemy.

"What a big cow!"

"Electricity thief!! I finally caught you!!"

The whole scene was dead silent.

The Hunters were stunned.

The people from Shadow Academy were stunned.

Even the static electricity in the Thunder Horn Rhino's brain seemed to stutter for a moment.

Th... electricity thief?!

What kind of line is this?

Did this big shot...

Accidentally break his brain stem when he landed just now?!

Young Master Gu Lingfeng, who had steadied himself, stared at the young man's back, always feeling he looked a bit familiar...

Black combat suit, no military rank insignia, slim build, looking at most eighteen or nineteen years old...

Wait!

He suddenly remembered something.

At the school gate of Jiangcheng No. 1 High School, the young man who was watched by Commander Huangfu Jing!

The bastard who called him "Uncle"!

"...Is... Is it you?!"

Young Master Gu Lingfeng blurted out.

Su Ming turned his head to look,

"Oh, Uncle, you're here too?!"

Then he waved his hand and looked back at the Thunder-Horned beast.

"Genius Captain on duty, everyone step back! This electricity thief suspect, I'm taking it back to close the case today!"
