256: How did he do it?

"This..." Feng Lifeng's expression darkened upon hearing this, and he was speechless...

At this moment, Gu Fengyang struggled to come forward and asked in surprise, "Who are you..."

Long Yuan smiled and said, "My name is Long Yuan! A student from Fengyang No. 1 High School! By the way, I was the one who provided the information about their operation to Qi Team Leader. Now, there shouldn't be any problem capturing these Blood Wolf Hall villains, right?"

Gu Fengyang's face filled with an expression of disbelief upon hearing this. He could never have imagined that the person who helped him—or rather, saved the lives of everyone here—was a youth around the same age as his own son!

He hurriedly said, "Thank you for your help just now!"

"It was nothing! Hurry up and clean up the battlefield; I have things to do, so I'm leaving!" Long Yuan finished speaking and flashed away.

Gu Fengyang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly snapped back to reality. Looking at Feng Lifeng on the ground, he immediately sealed his Profound Meridian completely before taking out a Profound Binding Rope to tie him up securely. As for the mecha, it had already been taken away by Long Yuan, and he had no way to retrieve it.

After Feng Lifeng was knocked down, the Blood Wolf Hall villains knew the situation was lost and immediately turned to flee wildly. The Southern Division Black Tortoise Guard and the elite Martial Ancestors of Nanming City were invigorated and pursued them relentlessly. After much effort, they finally managed to capture them all. Some who resisted to the end were killed on the spot, but a significant number actually committed suicide by swallowing poison. It could be said that this was the madness of a cultist; they knew the outcome of being captured would certainly not be good, so they simply chose suicide—an early death was an early release!

The teams led by Qi Huaiyi and Wang Zhen shot down nearly ten helicopters, but three or four still managed to escape. Additionally, several people used personal flying devices to flee far away, entering the depths of the wilderness, their fates unknown...

Gu Fengyang and the other two investigated upon hearing the news, but eventually returned in disappointment. Those few people had truly vanished. It seemed these Evil Cultists possessed quite impressive escape skills. Moreover, it was proven that the Blood Wolf Hall cult possessed many good things; besides the mecha, these personal flying devices were also quite valuable!

"Congratulations, Chief Captain!"

"This total annihilation of the Blood Wolf Hall Evil Cultists is a monumental achievement!"

"We didn't suffer many losses; only twelve people were seriously injured, and others had minor injuries. There were no casualties!"

"Hey, don't congratulate me! If it weren't for that Long Yuan, everyone present would have been finished!" Gu Fengyang waved his hand and said with a hint of frustration.

The crowd's expressions froze, and they were speechless...

Gu Fengyang looked at Qi Huaiyi and asked, "Xiao Qi, what is the deal with that Long Yuan? He's so young, yet he could take down Feng Lifeng and even make off with that mecha?!"

Qi Huaiyi smiled and said, "Long Yuan, simply put, is a rising star that has recently emerged in our Nanming. My information came from him, but even I didn't expect him to be able to take down Feng Lifeng. If it weren't for him this time, I'm afraid the consequences would have been unimaginable..."

"Need you say? This operation even requires us three to owe him a favor! He should take at least half of the mission rewards! However, I was a bit dizzy when I was just knocked down by Feng Lifeng, so I didn't see clearly how he attacked. Did you notice anything?" Gu Fengyang asked.

"I really didn't notice that! I only know for sure that he knocked down Feng Lifeng and stripped off the outer armor he was wearing!" Qi Huaiyi said, but what he didn't say was that Long Yuan had already sent him a voice transmission, asking him to keep the secret of his attack.

Lin Shengnan, who was on the side, looked thoughtful upon hearing this, but she did not speak. On one hand, she was still incredibly shocked, as she had happened to hear the conversation between Long Yuan and Feng Lifeng, which was how she learned he was actually a student from Fengyang No. 1 High School and not a person from Xuanji Tower. On the other hand, she had to keep Long Yuan's secret; matters concerning Long Yuan absolutely could not be spoken by her, but must be left for Long Yuan to say himself.

Gu Fengyang nodded. The battlefield was so chaotic that it was normal for Qi Huaiyi not to have noticed. He walked over to Feng Lifeng to examine him closely and found that Feng Lifeng's injuries did not seem severe on the surface, with only a small circular hole at each of his two knee joints and two elbow joints. By this time, the blood had even congealed!

He carefully examined the inside of the circular holes, and the scene he saw shocked him. He saw that the bones at Feng Lifeng's injury sites had suffered severe comminuted fractures. Without a Heaven-Grade Medicinal Pill or better treatment, it was feared that such injuries could never recover.

But one had to know that Feng Lifeng was a Late Stage Martial Ancestor, and his bones had long been tempered to be as sturdy as a High Grade Profound Weapon. Given Long Yuan's current cultivation level and ability, it was almost impossible for him to inflict such terrifying injuries. So, how on earth did Long Yuan manage to do it?

And what was going on with these four small circular holes?

Turning Feng Lifeng over, Gu Fengyang's eyes lit up as he discovered that these four small circular holes had actually penetrated Feng Lifeng's bones!

"My God!!! How is this possible?!" Gu Fengyang couldn't help but exclaim.

Even if he went all out, it would be impossible to cause such damage because Feng Lifeng was wearing a mecha at the time, and Gu Fengyang had a deep understanding of how terrifying a mecha's defensive capabilities were. Even when the three of them—the Martial Ancestors—used their trump card, the Fire Thunderbolt, to burn it, they couldn't burn through it. Yet, Long Yuan was actually able to penetrate both the mecha and the bones in one strike. How on earth did he do it?

Yu Feiyu and Bai Song, who were on the side, also widened their eyes in disbelief, as if they had seen a ghost!

A glint of wisdom flashed in Yu Feiyu's eyes as he pondered, "Such wounds were not caused by hand-to-hand combat, but by a Profound Weapon! But what kind of Profound Weapon could simultaneously pierce through both mecha and bone?"

Bai Song shot him a glare and said in a rough voice, "Well, say it then! What kind of Profound Weapon caused this?!"

"This... could it be..." Yu Feiyu's eyes suddenly lit up.

"What is it?!"

"A High Grade Nian Needle!!!" Yu Feiyu said emphatically.

"Nian Needle?! High Grade?!" Both Gu Fengyang and Bai Song were taken aback, but after thinking it over, they couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Indeed, such a small wound with such powerful penetrating force seemed possible only for the legendary high-level Mind Power Master, and this was also one of the reasons why high-level Mind Power Masters were always regarded as a huge threat!

Gu Fengyang suddenly realized and said, "That's impossible. Long Yuan is so young, how could he possibly drive a High Grade Nian Needle to cause such damage?"

Yu Feiyu paused, shrugged, and spread his hands, saying, "Then I can't figure it out either! You can't tell me this was caused by a Xuan Gun, right? A Xuan Gun couldn't have such power, and besides the Nian Needle, there doesn't seem to be any other needle-type Profound Weapon capable of doing this, right?"

"Forget it, let's discuss this matter later! Now, hurry and clean up the battlefield and return to the Southern Division!" Gu Fengyang waved his hand and said.

"Yes!!!" everyone replied in unison and got to work...

"When friends come, there is good wine; when jackals come, they are greeted with shotguns..." A phone rang. Gu Fengyang took out his mobile phone, saw that it was a call from Yu Xun, and quickly answered it.
