Otherwise, he would definitely be surrounded by thousands of people to greet us, just to give us a hard time! "Let's see how things go first," Shangguan Chuxiong said in a low voice. "However, in my opinion, Gao Jianfei lacks confidence and is likely to be completely outmaneuvered by us!"
Both brothers had a look of joy on their faces.
An irrepressible joy shone through him, as if a great mission was about to be accomplished.
"Hahaha! Brother Gao Jianfei!" The two sides finally met. The Shangguan brothers pretended to be extremely enthusiastic and ran over to give each other a bear hug. Gao Jianfei also smiled indifferently and replied perfunctorily.
One hundred of Shangguan Gang's ruthless henchmen stood in formation behind them, their faces relaxed somewhat, but still bearing the grim expressions of their former selves.
"What, Mr. Gao, you didn't bring your men with you?" Shangguan Longfei asked in a tone that suggested he already knew the answer.
"Subordinates?" Gao Jianfei gave a forced wry smile. "My two brothers, you know my situation. I've never been a leader before. Although I managed to kill Shen Bing by catching him off guard with poison and hidden weapons, I don't have the ability to quickly take over Shen Bing's men. Those guys outwardly submit to me, but secretly they don't. I know that, but I can't just kill them... I'm not a murderous demon."
"Hahahaha!" Shangguan Longfei and Shangguan Chuxiong both burst into hearty laughter. The pressure in their hearts completely dissipated, and they both thought simultaneously, "This Gao Jianfei is indeed a naive newbie! It'll be so easy to crush him!"
"And who are these people?" Shangguan Longfei smirked as he asked Chen Xian, Tang Bao, and the others who had come with Gao Jianfei. As his gaze swept over the stunning beauties Chen Xian, Zhuo Xiaowei, Qin Leshi, and Song Ying, a wicked glint flashed in his eyes.
"Oh, these are all my girlfriends," Gao Jianfei said casually.
"Haha, you're in luck! You're really lucky!" Shangguan Longfei and Shangguan Chuxiong laughed simultaneously. Shangguan Longfei thought to himself, "These women are so alluring. Later, I'll make you lend me all of them so I can have some fun!"
"Let's go, brothers Shangguan, let's go to my villa first." Gao Jianfei called to Shangguan Longfei and Shangguan Chuxiong and they left the airport.
Chen Yaohui drove a luxury car and personally escorted Gao Jianfei, Shangguan Chuxiong, and Shangguan Longfei towards the villa.
This villa used to be Shen Bing's villa. However, it has now been occupied by Gao Jianfei.
Inside the car, Shangguan Chuxiong and Shangguan Longfei had already devised a plan to deal with Gao Jianfei later. (To be continued!)
Chapter 654 Annihilation
Gao Jianfei, leading over a hundred core members of the Shangguan Gang, drove back to his current villa, the same villa Shen Bing had lived in before her death. This was a special area in the capital of Hengnuo Kingdom. It was a manor-style structure, covering an extremely vast area. Within the manor, there were many sentry posts, bunkers, and even some hidden trenches. Originally, when Shen Bing was in power, this manor should have been filled with snipers, machine gunners, and perhaps even troops stationed here. But now, the manor area was pitifully sparsely populated, with only a few scattered elderly, weak, and disabled people.
In fact, as soon as the car entered the area, Shang Anlongfei and Shangguan Chuxiong focused their attention on observation. Their conclusion was... this manor, which should have been impregnable, was currently defended at virtually nothing! It seemed there were only some temporarily hired security guards, perfunctorily standing guard!
The entire estate was deserted!
Shangguan Longfei and Shangguan Chuxiong exchanged a glance, then burst into laughter. It was a laugh of complete relief and openness, a laugh of utter ease. Shangguan Longfei even spoke up, "Hahaha, our Shangguan Gang has long coveted the wealthy of the Northern Continent. After years of planning, today, our wish has finally come true! Hahaha! Mr. Gao, you also deserve credit for all of this. Rest assured, our Shangguan Gang will absolutely not mistreat you, Mr. Gao, hahaha!" His tone had completely changed. He had become arrogant and domineering, treating Gao Jianfei as his subordinate.
That's right, now, there's no one from Gao Jianfei in the entire manor.
As for Gao Jianfei himself, his killing of Shen Bing was purely through a sneak attack and mystery. Shangguan Longfei and Shangguan Chuxiong were well aware of Gao Jianfei's capabilities and weren't afraid of his sneak attack. Besides, the members of the Shanggong Gang that they had dispatched this time were all core elites capable of taking on dozens of opponents at once. They had all practiced hard qigong, and even some superficial internal energy cultivation. If a real fight broke out, a swarm of them would likely overwhelm Gao Jianfei.
Gao Jianfei knew Shangguan Longfei and Shanggong Chuxiong's mindset, and found it very funny.
On the surface, however, he remained calm and composed, merely offering perfunctory responses and smiling.
Everyone got off the car.
I sat down outside a grove of trees next to a huge tennis court in the estate area.
Some tables and chairs were placed there. Shangguan Longfei and Shangguan Chuxiong sat down casually. The more than 100 henchmen stood obediently behind them with their hands folded in front of their crotches.
Behind Gao Jianfei stood his woman, as well as Tang Bao, Feilong, Feilong's wife, and others. There were only a dozen or so people, mostly women, and in terms of sheer presence, they were outmatched by the Shangguan gang.
"Hahaha," Shangguan Chuxiong laughed heartily, exuding an indescribable air of triumph. "Mr. Gao, now that Shen Bing is dead, I wonder what your thoughts are?"
"Me?" Gao Jianfei chuckled. "I'm just an ordinary person. As for my thoughts... I risked my life to ambush and kill Shen Bing, so I wanted to gain some benefits."
Shangguan Chuxiong shook his head, signaling Gao Jianfei to shut up. "Benefits? Of course, benefits are available to you. However, I hope Mr. Gao can continue to cooperate with us to fight against Murong Sun. Murong Sun, like Shen Bing, is a Level 7 Exorcist, controlling five wealthy countries. He also covets Shen Bing's territory. Now that Shen Bing is dead, he certainly won't sit still! Therefore, my suggestion is that Mr. Gao and my brother continue to cooperate against Murong Sun. Moreover, we can arrange an opportunity for Mr. Gao to assassinate Murong Sun! Once Murong Sun is dead, then Dragon Ball will be the domain of our Shangguan Gang! Mr. Gao, you will also reap huge benefits!"
"Oh?" Gao Jianfei finally couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Hahaha, you just killed Shen Bing, and now I'm going to kill Murong Sun, hahaha. You two, Shangguan brothers, are really humorous."
"You refuse?" Shang Gonglongfei suddenly grinned maliciously. His henchmen immediately placed their right hands on their waists. The waists of those henchmen were all bulging, clearly indicating that they carried firearms and other weapons.
"You're starting to threaten me?" Gao Jianfei's smile froze. "Everyone understands the principle of hiding the bird's bow. Once I kill Murong Sun for you, you should join forces to eliminate me. Besides, Shen Bing's death will be a huge blow to Murong Sun, making it incredibly difficult to kill him again. Therefore... I refuse to kill Murong Sun. Moreover, the distribution of territory among the five northern kingdoms shouldn't be up to you. What do you say?"
"Hmm?" Shanggong Chuxiong and Shangguan Longfei's pupils contracted simultaneously, their faces extremely cold and stern, as if covered with a layer of ice. Shangguan Chuxiong smiled maliciously, "Mr. Gao, haven't you grasped the situation yet? If you could have calmed the situation and stabilized the five northern kingdoms before we arrived, then we might have given you some consideration. But now, you're all alone. What right do you have to negotiate with the Shangguan Gang? You're just a chicken waiting to be slaughtered! You have no right to speak! Let me say it... The five northern kingdoms belong to the Shangguan Gang! We'll give you billions. Of course, if you agree to assassinate Murong Sun successfully, we can give you a country to govern! Otherwise—you can die right now!"
Shangguan Chuxiong and Shangguan Longfei finally revealed their hideous true colors.
Before Gao Jianfei could speak, Tang Bao shouted, "Jianfei, what's the point of talking to these idiots? Let's do it! Kill them, and we'll still have time to go home for dinner. Tonight, Brother Jin and Sister-in-law are saying they're having hot pot. Haha, kill them!"
"Damn it! Shut up!" Shangguan Longfei's anger flared up. "What's your name, you ordinary person?"
Get out of my way! Or I'll kill you right now!
Just then, Gao Jianfei snapped his fingers lightly.
It's like a secret code...
Suddenly, a sea of fire and a cloud of frost instantly covered Shanggong Longfei and Shangguan Chuxiong, without any prior warning!
In just a few seconds, Shangguan Chuxiong was burned to ashes, and Shangguan Longfei was frozen into an ice sculpture!
The two diamond-powered individuals have finally made their move!
Chen Xian and Zhuo Xiaowei!
When a Diamond Ability user launches an attack, it's instantaneous!
Moreover, the fire and ice abilities of diamond ability users are not ordinary fire and ice in the usual sense, but rather extremely destructive fire and ice!
"What?"
Shangguan's more than one hundred henchmen were instantly dumbfounded!
At that moment, Tang Bao's superpower was instantly activated! His superpower was to transform his arms into giant rock arms, possessing the strength of thousands or even tens of thousands of kilograms!
That giant rock arm was several meters long and half a meter in diameter. With a single sweep, it smashed the brains of more than a dozen henchmen!
At the same time, Feilong, Feilong's wife, Song Ying, and others also launched their supernatural attacks instantly.
The one-sided battle ended quickly.
More than a hundred of Shangguan Gang's semi-dead henchmen lay dead in pools of blood. Their deaths were all bizarre and varied.
The entire killing took only about a minute.
Gao Jianfei sat dumbfounded in the chair, crossing his legs. He had only smoked half a cigarette when he asked in a daze, "Is that all?" After a pause, Gao Jianfei threw away the cigarette butt. "This is the only time I didn't make a move. You guys are too fierce."
"Ha, Jianfei, just a bunch of ordinary people." Feilong chuckled. "We've already managed to share some of your burdens. That proves you're useful with us. Alright, Jianfei, let's go."
At Gao Jianfei's signal, Chen Xian unleashed her fire-based supernatural power, burning all the corpses to ashes.
The group drove away from the garden area.
On the bus.
"Jianfei, should we spread the news of the deaths of the two exorcists from the Shangguan Gang?" Zhuo Xiaowei asked.
Gao Jianfei frowned slightly. Then he snapped his fingers. "From the moment news of Shen Bing's death spread yesterday, all the exorcists on Dragon Ball have been watching us. Watching our every move. The reason they haven't immediately taken action against us is because they have some reservations. Today, Shangguan Longfei and Shangguan Chuxiong came to see me, and the other exorcists must already know! Therefore, Shangguan Longfei and Shangguan Chuxiong are crucial. If they are alive and have shared the territory of the five kingdoms of the Northern Continent with me, then the other exorcists will immediately launch a massive attack and flood into the Northern Continent. If they are dead... hmm. Spread the word that all the leaders of the Shangguan Gang, including Shangguan Longfei and Shangguan Chuxiong, are dead in the Northern Continent!"
"Yes. I understand, Jianfei."
Zhuo Xiaowei said in a very capable manner.
That evening, Gao Jianfei relaxed and had dinner with his family. In the evening, he spent the rest of the night with his women, going to Wushan for sex.
In fact, from the moment peace was restored to Earth, Gao Jianfei and his women had stopped using any contraceptive methods when they made love.
On the second day, the news of Shangguan Longfei and Shangguan Chuxiong's deaths spread like wildfire throughout the entire Dragon Sphere.
It's important to know that Shangguan Longfei and Shangguan Chuxiong are both exorcists, and Long Qiu is also a person of status and position. Although he may not be as prominent as Shen Bing, he is still a powerful and influential figure in his own right.
The sudden death of Shen Bing in the northern continent, in the villa area of the former Shen Bing, is quite intriguing.
Their deaths were also artistically embellished, presented in a subtle way. However, anyone with a discerning eye would immediately understand that they had coveted Shen Bing's territory, attempted to seize it, and were subsequently killed by Gao Jianfei.
In an instant, the name Gao Jianfei, truly a dragon in the world, became widely known and resounded.
First, he killed Shen Bing, this behemoth. Then, a few days later, he successively killed the leader of the Shanggong Gang, as well as all its core members. Gao Jianfei had become a veritable exorcist killer!
All the exorcists on Dragon Ball had to gather and discuss Gao Jianfei, this man who had suddenly risen to prominence like a comet.
In the country controlled by Murong Sun, dozens of exorcists have gathered to discuss how to deal with Gao Jianfei.
There's a problem with Chapter 655!
Another powerful figure on Dragon Planet, Murong Sun, controlled one of the countries: "Colorful Kingdom." The Colorful Kingdom was even more prosperous and wealthy than Shen Bing's homeland, Hengnuo Kingdom. It could be said that the Colorful Kingdom was the richest planet on Dragon Planet. This also suggests that Murong Sun's strength was actually a notch above Shen Bing's. Therefore, Murong Sun harbored extreme resentment towards Shen Bing. Because he controlled the same number of countries as Shen Bing—five. He felt this was unfair; at the very least, he should have more wealth and power than Shen Bing. However, he was only slightly stronger. Therefore, he couldn't wage war against Shen Bing. There was no guarantee of victory. Both were Level 7 Exorcists; a war would result in mutual destruction. Therefore, Murong Sun had endured Shen Bing for many years. And now, the opportunity had arrived… Shen Bing was dead!
After observing the situation, the result was... the two brothers from the Shangguan gang couldn't contain themselves and tried to seize Shen Bing's territory. They ended up dead.
Therefore, Murong Sun summoned all the exorcists on the Dragon Ball to his headquarters for a meeting.
With Shen Bing dead, Murong Sun became the top leader of Longqiu. His influence was unparalleled; all the exorcists, except for the deceased Shen Bing and the Shangguan brothers, were present.
"Gentlemen, trouble has broken out on our Dragon Planet." Murong Sun was rather ugly, with a pointed face and a hooked nose. However, his eyes were extremely sinister, radiating a cold, sharp light that sent chills down one's spine. "This is a chaotic period for our planet. Originally, we, the people here, were all chosen by heaven, all exorcists. Although we sometimes had disputes over interests and territory, we had all agreed not to kill each other. But this time, trouble has broken out! Three exorcists have been killed in succession! Killed by a guy named Gao Jianfei! He is unknown, we have no idea how he killed Shen Bing and the Shangguan brothers. But there is no doubt that he is extremely terrifying!"
"Could he also be an exorcist?" a level 6 exorcist asked in a low voice.
“Impossible!” exclaimed another Level 6 Exorcist. “Our AI program clearly states that there are only 45 Super Ghost Instruments on Dragon Sphere, meaning there are only 45 Exorcists. There can’t be a 46th! I believe that Gao Jianfei isn’t an Exorcist, but something else… something else entirely…”
At this point, the dragon ball exorcists in the room all felt a chill run down their spines. This was because of Gao Jianfei's mystery; they weren't sure who Gao Jianfei was.
"Whatever he is, the only thing we can be sure of is that he is extremely strong! We are all exorcists, and we know that when faced with dangers we cannot handle, we can hide in a ghost's lair. However, Shen Bing did not hide in a ghost's lair. Brother Ouyang did not have time to do so before he died. This shows that Gao Jianfei has the strength to kill instantly!" Murong Sun analyzed calmly.
Silence. The exorcists all fell silent.
Murong Sun continued, “Now, regardless of who Gao Jianfei is, he has already started killing us exorcists. He seized Shen Bing's territory! He broke the rules! He violated the rules of this game! If he can kill Shen Bing, he can kill us! It's clear he has great ambitions. I think his next step will definitely be to kill us and then take control of the Dragon Ball! We absolutely cannot sit idly by and wait to die! We cannot allow him to defeat us one by one!”
Upon hearing this, all the exorcists chorused, "Brother Murong Sun, what do you think we should do? We're in imminent danger. If you can step forward and take charge, we'll all listen to you! One word from you, and we'll go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Murong Sun pondered for a moment, then spoke, “In the past, when we divided up the territory, there were some conflicts. Now, we should completely put aside our conflicts and unite as one to deal with Gao Jianfei! Let’s join forces, write a letter of invitation to Gao Jianfei, and then gather our men to go to the Northern Continent to punish him! As long as we are united, we have nothing to fear from Gao Jianfei! The 42 exorcists here, united, are terrifyingly powerful. Even if Gao Jianfei has a secret, he can’t possibly be our match!”
Unite! A total of 42 exorcists will go together to defeat Gao Jianfei!
This suggestion was met with immediate approval. Everyone was willing to follow Murong Sun's orders.
This was also a rare moment of unity among the exorcists of Dragon Ball after years of infighting.
Meanwhile, Gao Jianfei didn't attempt to conquer Tianyi Kingdom or the businesses under the Shangguan Gang simply because he had killed Shangguan Longfei and Shangguan Chuxiong. This was partly due to the long distance, and partly because Gao Jianfei knew that Murong Sun and the other exorcists would definitely make a move soon.
Gao Jianfei et al.
During the waiting period, Gao Jianfei handed over the management of Shen Bing's businesses to Fei Long, Tang Bao, Chen Yaohui, and others. They were all superhumans, and although they were not as powerful as exorcists, they were already capable of handling things independently. Through a combination of soft and hard tactics, they eliminated some troublemakers and quickly stabilized the situation.
Gao Jianfei was happy to have a peaceful life, simply staying at home carefree with his women. However, the women were also quite self-disciplined, spending most of their time cultivating. The Ghost Den had plenty of orange ore, allowing the women to cultivate without any worries.
Days passed by like this.
One day, a miracle happened!
After absorbing a sufficient amount of orange ore, a certain part of Nie Xiaoxia's brain underwent a change and was stimulated, causing her to directly grow into a diamond-powered ability user!
A wind-type diamond ability user!
This is also the third diamond-powered individual to awaken alongside Gao Jianfei.
