16: Upgrade successfully, beat up the cultists!

Inside the 4S shop, customers were in a chaotic mess, fleeing in panic.

There was a large, charred crater in one part of the shop.

A car had been destroyed.

Thick smoke billowed.

At the same time, a group of masked, strangely dressed individuals, wielding machetes, rushed in and began attacking ordinary people.

Among these individuals, some were agile and extremely fast.

Some transformed into wolves, tearing at the crowd.

Others could generate flames from their hands, continuously unleashing scorching fireballs at different areas.

This caused constant explosions all around.

Burning!

Several other individuals were recording videos and live-streaming with camera equipment.

“The Heavenly God has descended; only those who believe in the Heavenly God can attain eternal life.”

“These are all sinners; we represent our Lord to end their wickedness!”

“Join the Divine Cult, gain eternal life!”

The one speaking was a white-haired old man with a face full of wrinkles.

In a blink of an eye, over twenty people were already injured or dead.

“Damn it, cultists!”

Guo Feng’s eyes nearly split open when he saw this scene.

This was the internal threat the instructor had chatted about—the cultists!

These people were a cult formed by ambitious individuals, awakened, and cultivators who received high-grade dog food.

They attempted to use the power they gained to bewitch the world.

Create panic.

Absorb believers.

Ultimately, they aimed to instigate division and achieve their ultimate interests!

Guo Feng just hadn’t expected to encounter these cultists today, having only started cultivating yesterday.

“Kill!”

When he saw innocent ordinary people falling in pools of blood, it made his blood boil.

Without hesitation, he charged at a cultist wielding a machete.

One kick!

Bang—

The cultist was about to hack at a middle-aged man when Guo Feng kicked him flying over ten meters away.

“Ah?!”

The middle-aged man was still shaken but felt an indescribable gratitude upon seeing the awe-inspiring Guo Feng, yet he was speechless for a moment.

Guo Feng turned back and said, “Help the others retreat further inside!”

“Yes, yes!”

The middle-aged man nodded repeatedly, finally realizing the situation.

Because there were many elderly and children on site.

In the chaos, they were all at risk of being trampled.

He immediately shouted, “The awakened have come to save us! Everyone, be careful and protect the elderly and children!”

He ran and shouted simultaneously.

While he was shouting, Guo Feng had already rushed in front of another villain and knocked him unconscious with a punch.

“awakened?”

“Little bastard who helps the wicked, kill him!”

As soon as Guo Feng made a move, he immediately attracted the attention of three awakened on the opposing side.

These three individuals included two beast-mutated individuals and one fire-ability user.

The three immediately surrounded Guo Feng.

Moreover, without giving Guo Feng a chance to speak, they immediately launched a deadly attack on him.

Swish, swish, swish…

The two beast-mutated individuals, one transformed into a wolf and the other into a bear, though their talent levels seemed low.

The wolf-man was only about 1.8 meters tall.

The bear-man was two meters.

Their strength and speed were far inferior to Zhang Xi’s.

The two attacked Guo Feng from left and right, like a torrential storm.

Sharp claws continuously swung in front of Guo Feng.

Guo Feng relied entirely on his reaction speed and agility, constantly dodging, barely escaping, like dancing on a knife’s edge.

He was also a bit anxious!

Because the two opponents cooperated tacitly, putting immense pressure on him.

At the same time, the other fire-ability user watched him menacingly.

This put him in an extremely passive position.

However, fortunately, he attracted these three ability users and knocked down two villains.

The remaining villains were held off by some brave and courageous individuals using stools, chairs, and other objects.

Greatly reducing casualties!

“Xiao Zhen Jie, what are you waiting for? Hurry and pay, I need to upgrade!”

Guo Feng continuously dodged, but his luck wasn’t always that good.

Moreover, he hadn’t seriously practiced fighting.

He relied entirely on instinct.

He had already been scratched in several places by the opponent’s sharp claws.

His clothes were torn.

Blood splattered on the spot!

“Big brother, be careful!”

“How can we help this young man? He’s saving us!”

“But in a fight between awakened, us ordinary people can only be a hindrance!”

“Young man, please be careful!”

The crowd, facing off against the cultists, watched anxiously and helplessly as Guo Feng was injured and his blood splattered.

“Kid, die!”

“Lackey, let that teach you to mind your own business!”

The two cultist awakened were grinning ferociously, seemingly already seeing Guo Feng fall into a pool of blood.

But—

Just then.

【Ding! Congratulations, Host, your exclusive level has upgraded!】

【Congratulations, Host, your asset amplification has increased by 2.】

【Congratulations, Host, your physical strength has increased by 10.】

A series of notifications came to Guo Feng’s ears, and at the same time, a surge of heat agitated within his body.

His entire body’s muscles, fascia, etc., felt a sense of expansion.

His strength surged.

His reactions and speed suddenly improved.

The opponent’s incoming claws instantly became much slower.

“Good, this is good!”

Guo Feng was overjoyed, clenching his fist, and with a sudden punch, like a meteor, he slammed into the wolf-man’s chest.

His current punch’s explosive power was close to five hundred kilograms!

Moreover, it contained a wisp of psionic energy.

A full-force punch directly sent the wolf-man flying over ten meters away, and a faint sound of bone cracking could be heard.

And, he didn’t give the bear-man a chance.

Almost simultaneously, a fierce left hook slammed into the bear-man’s temple.

With a loud thud.

The bear-man himself directly crashed and sank into the ground.

Blood flowed out.

His fate was unknown.

“Not good!”

This sudden turn of events caught the cultists off guard, and it made the fire-ability user’s face fill with panic.

But, the fire-ability user still reacted quickly.

The fireball that had already gathered in his palm was suddenly thrown at Guo Feng.

Its speed was also extremely fast.

Unfortunately—

It was nowhere near as fast as Guo Feng!

“Is that all?”

Guo Feng sneered, stomping his foot, and he had already dodged the scorching fireball.

Boom—

A punch went straight for the fire-ability user’s face.

The fire-ability user’s nasal bridge immediately collapsed, blood splattered, and he himself flew backward, crashing to the ground.

“Run, run! This person is at least a Level 3 awakened with S-rank talent!”

“May the Heavenly God protect me!”

“Villain, this is a villain, he killed our protector!”

These cultists were scared out of their wits, shouting and turning to scatter.

But!

As soon as they turned, something slammed into the back of their heads with a thud, knocking them unconscious.

Even the old charlatan recording the video was no exception.

After these people fell to the ground.

The crowd finally saw clearly that it was actually bricks!

“Thank you, big brother, for saving us!”

“Young man, you’re amazing!”

“Thank you, you are our great hero!”

The crowd was stunned for a moment, then burst into enthusiastic cheers.

“Uh…”

Guo Feng was also taken aback.

Saving people was his instinct; he hadn’t thought so much before.

However, when he heard the cheers of those he had saved, a sense of joy arose in his heart.

And, with each compliment, he felt a little high.

Being praised felt quite nice.

However, he quickly shouted, “First, treat the injured, call the police, call for an ambulance!”

At his shout, the crowd finally reacted and immediately called the police and emergency services.

However, just then, two jeeps suddenly screeched to a halt at the entrance.

Seven or eight men and women in uniforms, with a strong aura, quickly got out of the cars and rushed over.

“Oh?”

“It’s over?”

These few people were clearly very surprised.

And Guo Feng was also surprised.

Because, leading them, was precisely the long-legged beauty he had seen at the hospital earlier.

He quickly waved: “Long-legged officer, we meet again?”

“??”

The long-legged beauty was stunned for a moment, then recognized Guo Feng, and said exasperatedly, “My name is Meng Yao! You can call me Officer Meng!”

What kind of ghost is ‘Long-legged Officer’?

Meng Yao then directed her subordinates to provide simple first aid to the injured.

She walked up to Guo Feng and asked, “What happened?”

“I should be asking you what happened!!”

Guo Feng immediately retorted, his demeanor not weak.
