The only reason he could still stop him in this situation was that the stranger man in front of him was using a cultivation technique similar to Mai Qian!
He remembered his senior brother saying that there were only two people in this lineage currently, and they were the two of them. Where did this person's cultivation technique come from?
However, there wasn't much time for him to ponder now.
"Stone, merge!"
He shouted in his mind, and Li Chonglou's figure flickered. The man's expression changed as he suddenly realized he couldn't keep up with the other party's speed. But out of instinct, he still dodged and blocked the passage to the backstage.
Li Chonglou narrowed his eyes and said with a hint of killing intent, "Get out of the way!"
The man did not move, but instead adopted a horse stance, his elbows forward, his gaze resolute.
Seeing this, Li Chonglou stopped holding back and threw a punch. The next moment, a dull thud was heard, and the man's body flew backward, crashing directly into the iron door behind him.
Bang!
The sturdy iron door also flew open, revealing over a dozen armed men standing inside. Gao Feng stood behind them, shouting with a frenzied expression.
"Open fire!"
Da da da da, gunshots immediately filled the entire space. The bullets, like a torrential rain, splashed countless sparks on the iron door, almost affecting the man who was blown in by the punch!
The doorway was only one meter wide, and Li Chonglou could only temporarily retreat to the side of the stage.
At this moment, the hundred or so swordsmen finally reacted, raising their long sabers and approaching. At this time, Stone's helpless voice echoed in his mind.
"Just for that one second, and not even using full strength."
After the soul fusion, Li Chonglou's actions felt like his own, and the sense of control over his body was incredibly wonderful. He yearned for this feeling after being on the verge of collapse in the arena. Although Li Chonglou had verbally asked him to merge just now, it had only lasted for one or two seconds!
It was like giving a half-drag to someone suffering from nicotine withdrawal, leaving them craving more!
"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
Li Chonglou quickly replied. At this moment, a swordsman who was close by had already swung his saber. However, his movements were like slow motion in a movie to Li Chonglou. He easily dodged and struck the back of the swordsman's neck with a palm strike.
The swordsman didn't even have time to cry out before his eyes rolled back and he fell unconscious.
The reason for not killing them was that Li Chonglou recognized these swordsmen as men Gao Feng had hired with money from the Green Gang, and he still had an identity within the Green Gang.
More importantly, it wasn't difficult for Li Chonglou to knock them out without killing them, and it would also be easier to handle the aftermath this way.
One, two. As his figure flickered, none of the swordsmen present could withstand a single blow from him. Out of a hundred people, in less than half a minute, one-tenth were incapacitated. The remaining swordsmen dared not charge forward anymore.
Even filming a movie wasn't this outrageous!
Was this really human? Although they were still dozens of times outnumbered, looking at their companions already lying on the ground, the swordsmen exchanged glances, and no one moved.
In the room, Gao Feng, completely unaware, only ordered his subordinates to stop firing after they had expended their ammunition. The man, holding his chest, arrived in front of Gao Feng with a hint of anger.
"You were trying to kill me too, just now?"
Gao Feng frowned and said displeasely, "Didn't you tell me it would be fine? Why did you fly in instead of him?"
Yue Hai was momentarily speechless. He had indeed underestimated the situation this time.
He couldn't help but sigh and say, "This martial world is indeed as my master said, bottomless, and there's always someone better. It seems my cultivation is still insufficient."
After speaking, Yue Hai walked towards another doorway, making Gao Feng roll his eyes.
However, Gao Feng only dared to speak and vent his sarcasm after Yue Hai had left.
"You dare to call yourself a master with this? Bah!"
Gao Feng now understood that all this talk of martial arts masters was fake. Only real guns and bullets were the true way in this world!
"Come in if you dare!"
Because there were no bodies or bloodstains at the entrance, Gao Feng knew that Li Chonglou was still outside. With the gunmen protecting him, he was no longer afraid. After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, could a person's speed be faster than bullets?
Even though he had just witnessed Li Chonglou's abnormal speed, everything happened too quickly and too suddenly. Gao Feng's mind had subconsciously ignored it.
Human instinct was like this; people would often subconsciously skip over things they couldn't accept.
However, the next second Gao Feng was staring at the doorway, he felt his vision suddenly blur, and the next moment he was lifted up entirely.
"Save, save me!"
Gao Feng's eyes were about to split. He desperately let out a sound. The nearby gunmen finally reacted and immediately turned their muzzles. But before they could aim, they all felt their vision suddenly go dark.
Several gunmen collapsed within a few seconds. During this process, Li Chonglou maintained the posture of gripping Gao Feng's neck. Only then did Gao Feng understand the gap between them.
His originally angry eyes were now filled with terror.
"Don't, don't kill me, I can tell you a secret!"
Gao Feng, who was almost suffocating, uttered this sentence desperately out of his survival instinct. Li Chonglou looked at him coldly, ignoring the secret he mentioned.
"Where is the person."
"First, re..."
Gao Feng, who was in a state of oxygen deprivation, had his eyes gradually roll back. Only then did Li Chonglou throw him to the ground.
The pain of the impact made Gao Feng sober up quite a bit. He clutched his neck and coughed repeatedly until he could breathe properly after a while.
"You have one minute."
Li Chonglou spoke coldly again. Gao Feng's expression changed, and he quickly said, "Don't kill me, the person is fine, but they are not with me."
"Fifty seconds left."
Gao Feng immediately became anxious, "It's not me, I'm just a runner! I'm a supervisor for the Xi Gang, Fushan. Fushan asked me to do this! That Yue Hai just now was also brought by him!"
Xi Gang's Fushan?
Li Chonglou's brow furrowed. Although he didn't know any Fushan, he did know about the Xi Gang. It was one of the four major gangs in Shangjing, comparable to the Green Gang. However, in his impression, he had never dealt with anyone from the Xi Gang.
"Why."
Li Chonglou stared into Gao Feng's eyes. If he lied even in the slightest, he would never escape his gaze!
"I don't know either! Perhaps my old man knows about this. He was the one who arranged for my bail, and then the Xi Gang people approached me."
Gao Feng's eyes were filled with panic and anxiety. Li Chonglou could confirm that he was not lying.
