266: Chapter 252: Not a Friend, But an Enemy_1 266: Chapter 252: Not a Friend, But an Enemy_1 The arrangement of the villa complex is systematic, with not a single weakling among the security personnel. These people are ancient martial artists who have successfully cultivated using genetic drugs borrowed from the Japanese by the Zheng family. Through his spiritual sense, Lv Zhong found that none of these security guards were ordinary martial artists below the first stage of Internal Qi. Upon calculation, Lv Zhong discovered that the entire villa complex had more than two hundred security guards. These individuals were all refining practitioners ranging from the first to the third stage of Internal Qi, with even a few at the fourth stage. Perceiving this, Lv Zhong suddenly doubted why the Minnan Zheng Family was only ranked sixth among the Eight Great Families. Even if the Zheng family didn’t have many innate experts, the sheer number of their members who have successfully cultivated Internal Qi could definitely rank them within the top four. Lv Zhong knew that among the noble families, the Eastern World Family, which ranked second, didn’t have too many individuals who have successfully cultivated Inner Qi, with at most two to three hundred. Yet here was the Guangdong Branch of the Zheng family, with over two hundred members who have successfully cultivated Inner Qi? Apparently, the Zheng family’s cooperation with the Japanese was very close, and the genetic drugs must have played a significant role. “The Guangdong branch has such a powerful force. It seems that the headquarters in Minnan, operated by the Zheng family, must be even stronger!” Lv Zhong muttered. However, even if the headquarters in Minnan were incredibly powerful, Lv Zhong was still determined to make his move there in the shortest possible time! … The villa in front of him was meticulously guarded, with strong defensive power! Overt guards and many hidden sentinels were arranged, showing complete order. Unfortunately for them, these guards, whether overt or covert, were of no use against Lv Zhong. In a few breaths, Lv Zhong had mobilized countless Soul-Devouring Worms and Poison-Devouring Worms to kill seventy to eighty people. To Lv Zhong’s surprise, when his Insect Clan Army had killed more than a hundred and twenty people, an alarm for foreign invasions had already been triggered within the villa complex. However, Lv Zhong didn’t care at all! It was nightfall, the perfect time for the Insect Clan Army to fight. Soul Devouring Bugs, with their powerful soul energy, were most suitable for night warfare. The Poison-Devouring Bugs preferred to feed on the toxins in poisonous insects and snakes, and with the poisonous insects and snakes being most active at night, the night warfare capability of the Poison-Devouring Bugs was naturally not weak. Searᴄh the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. As for the Marrow-Sucking Worms, they loved to ambush. They were most adept at seizing opportunities in battle. Nightvision was one of their most successful evolutionary abilities. … Without a doubt, the Insect Clan Army Lv Zhong deployed this time were all experts in night warfare. In a short time, the majority of the guards in this villa complex of the Zheng family were wiped clean. At this point, the last stronghold of this villa complex was less than thirty meters away from Lv Zhong! It could be said that the strongest force of the Zheng family in the Guangdong Branch was all gathered in the villa in front of him! Moreover, Lv Zhong felt that there were several strong auras hidden in this villa! There was even an expert at the early stage of the Innate Realm! Lv Zhong sneered. Not to mention a warrior in the Innate Realm, even if there was a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Realm here, if Lv Zhong wanted to beat him, the latter wouldn’t stand a chance! “Third Uncle, we have requested reinforcements from the family! However, these reinforcements will take at least an hour to arrive…” Inside the villa, a youth in his twenties spoke to a man in his fifties who stood calmly by the window in the living room. “Requesting help? Are you a fool? The enemy killed more than a hundred and eighty of our family members in just a minute or two. Clearly, this enemy is extremely powerful.” The old man’s icy gaze fell on the handsome youth, speaking coldly, “And aren’t you worried that the enemy might siege and attack the reinforcements? Are you calling them here to die?” “Dad, cousin is just trying to help. Don’t be angry. We should think about what to do first.” Compared to her family members, a charming woman holding a Crescent Moon Curved Knife was very calm. A Desert Eagle pistol was in her left hand, her eyes cold and full of killing intent. She was standing behind the old man. The man, with black hair and a few streaks of white, had a long scar stretching from his left eye corner to beneath his left ear, giving him a fierce look. This man was Zheng Kaiyun, the head of the Zheng family’s Guangdong Branch, and he was an expert in the early stage of the Innate Realm. He had just returned to the villa after discussing new cooperation plans with Japan’s Iga Clan, only to have a mysterious enemy attack! “With me here, don’t panic!” Zheng Kaiyun said calmly, his eyes half-closed and his hands behind his back, as if the current situation was not a big deal. “But… but we’ve already lost more than a hundred and eighty brothers! And we don’t who’s the enemy or where they are hiding… How can we fight them like this? Dad, we should preserve our forces and esca…” Despite Zheng Kaiyun’s relaxed attitude, his daughter, Zheng Mingzhu, looked a bit terrified. In fact, not just Zheng Mingzhu, but most of the people present were terrified and had no will to fight. Because, inexplicably, people on their side were getting injured and dying, yet they had not even seen a shadow of the enemy. The stronger one’s cultivation, the more heightened one’s alertness should be! What’s happening in front of them, it doesn’t seem to be something humans could cause! If it’s not humans, then what could it be? Before Zheng Mingzhu could finish her sentence, an old man interrupted her: “Mingzhu, do you really have such little faith in your own dad? Keep in mind, your dad is an Innate Expert. The moment these hidden enemies appear, your dad will definitely be able to chop their heads off. Moreover, considering the many losses we’ve suffered, if your dad flees without a fight, would he even be considered an Innate Expert? Not only will his cultivation fail to progress, even his influence within the family will diminish too. Have you thought of that?” A flash of light suddenly crossed Zheng Kaiyun’s eyes as he stared at his daughter, Zheng Mingzhu, and spoke angrily. Indeed! Her dad is indeed an Innate Expert! An Innate Expert should possess the pride of an Innate Expert! The enemy didn’t dare to show their face, probably because they feared her dad, an Innate Expert. Just like taking a calming pill, Zheng Mingzhu’s heart immediately calmed down. She looked at her dad, and didn’t utter another word. The others in the villa also fell silent. Indeed, an Innate Expert, in their eyes, is a supreme fighter who can disregard firearms. If even Zheng Kaiyun can’t match this hidden enemy, then they certainly wouldn’t be able to escape either. However, Zheng Tianlei, on the other hand, didn’t see things this way! Zheng Tianlei was a young and promising elite of the Zheng family! Not only was he shrewd, but his cultivation talent in ancient martial arts was also astonishing. Without resorting to the genetic drugs produced by the Japanese, he had reached the Fifth Stage of Inner Qi. Although Zheng Tianlei had always kept a low profile and had been mingling in the foreign world of assassins, executing many dangerous missions and having countless near-death experiences, he was a man of vast experience and hardened by battle. However, what’s more important, was his Spiritual Sense which he built through his numerous near-death experiences. This Spiritual Sense allowed him to sense danger. This time, even though the enemy had not shown up, his heart was beating violently, constantly urging him to leave this place. The rapid beating of his heart almost suffocated him! Zheng Tianlei realized that true danger had arrived! Even with the presence of Innate Expert Zheng Kaiyun, it would be absolutely of no use. “Run! Run! Run…” A voice in his heart was screaming frantically at him. The intensity of the feeling this time was much stronger than on any other occasion. “No way! I can’t just leave my third uncle and Mingzhu here to await death, the danger…this place is far too dangerous! It hasn’t been easy for our Zheng family to have an Innate Expert…” Zheng Tianlei was sweating profusely out of anxiety. However, after thinking it over, Zheng Tianlei shook his head. Perhaps he could convince others, but Zheng Kaiyun was extremely stubborn, there was no way he could convince him. How could he convince such a stubborn person? Should he talk about his intuition? After serious consideration, Zheng Tianlei came to the conclusion that he wouldn’t be able to convince his third uncle, causing him to lose hope. “Since others are not fleeing, then I shouldn’t die alongside them.” Having thought of this, Zheng Tianlei stealthily retreated and went upstairs to a storage room in a villa. He quickly found a place to hide and entirely focused on concealing his spirit, energy, and soul. Within a short period of time, his entire body stiffened, and he virtually stopped breathing. His heart seemed to have ceased beating. It was as if he was already a dead man! This technique, known as the “Mysterious Turtle Breathing Control Technique,” was something Zheng Tianlei had stumbled upon, saving his life countless times because of it. However, would he be able to hide from the enemy seeking revenge this time? ************ “May I know who our esteemed guest is? I’m Zheng Kaiyun, the third elder of the Minnan Zheng Family. I hope you would be kind enough to show yourself. If there are any misunderstandings, I hope you would give our Zheng Family a chance to explain…” Zheng Kaiyun finally couldn’t bear the oppressive atmosphere and started to shout out loud. The resounding voice spread out into the distance in an instant. The night was moonless, although the villa was illuminated by street lamps, it was still somewhat dark. “Hehe, friend might be an overstatement, but enemy seems to fit just right.” From the darkness, a diminutive figure emerged, boldly standing at the entrance of the villa. This person seemed very young, but his eyes gave off a light that pierced the darkness of the night. “There are definitely no misunderstandings because it’s a fact that I have confirmed. Therefore, I’m here to kill. As for the people of the Zheng Family, I’ll not spare a single one. I’ll wipe you all out…” (To be continued.
