After finding an empty bathroom, Xia Fei used Chasing Light to cut a circular hole in the pipe and silently floated down from the roof, the piece of metal that he had cut off was tucked under his armpit.
Taking out a small bottle of white liquid from his spatial ring, Xia Fei dripped a few drops of this superglue on the edge of the metal plate. He then lifted the metal plate high above his head. Xia Feis feet touched the ground, and his body leaped up gracefully. He used the gap in midair to perfectly stick the metal plate back to where it originally belonged. If one did not look closely, no one would be able to tell that this pipe had been damaged.
After covering up the traces of his infiltration, Xia Fei hid the red armband on his arm. Red was an extremely eye-catching color, and it was very easy for others to notice. Any experienced assassin would not allow such a lethal color to appear on their body.
That was when the sound of footsteps could be heard coming from the hallway outside, getting closer and closer.
Xia Fei immediately took a few steps back and cautiously hid behind the door. He used Breath Control, his body pressed tightly against the wall as he entered a defensive state.
A warrior wearing the uniform of the Owls Pirates pushed open the door and walked in. Xia Fei immediately followed him silently the moment he stepped in, his nose only a centimeter away from the back of the man's head, yet this subordinate of Scar did not notice him at all.
Almost at the same time, Xia Fei placed Chasing Light on the man's neck while his left hand covered the man's mouth.
Because he was standing behind this man, Xia Fei could not see the expression on his face, but he could imagine that the expression on his face must be very interesting.
I'll ask, and you'll answer. If you don't, I'll kill you, Xia Fei said in a cold and gloomy tone.
The man hurriedly nodded. Xia Fei could already feel some warm liquid on his left hand, most likely from the sweat on his face.
How many of you are there in total? Xia Fei let go of his left hand and asked. He was not afraid of this man shouting. Given Xia Fei's reaction speed, he would be able to kill him the moment he made the slightest movement. He would not let even half a syllable come out of this man's mouth.
"More than four hundred," the man stuttered a little.
So few? I remember that the Owls Pirates should have around a thousand people in total.
Theyve all gone on a mission.
"What mission?"
"Boss Dao Ba didn't say. I think he went with Boss Duan Ren's men."
Xia Fei was slightly taken aback. The men of Broken Blade Saber and Owls were moving together, and they had chosen to move at the same time when Ning Baichen was leading his men in. This further confirmed Xia Fei's conjecture that everything could very well be a conspiracy.
"You guys only have around four hundred people, while the attacking team has over eight thousand. You guys seem to be very confident, huh?" Xia Fei asked with a smile.
"We have a sound ability user who can release high-frequency sound waves. There is a sound wave reflector in my left pocket. Without the protection of this thing, our internal organs will be shattered by the sound waves, so we are not afraid of their numbers."
Xia Fei used two fingers to pull out something that looked like a button from his pocket. This little device was exactly the same as the one stuck on Tully's armband.
The sound wave ability was a large-scale offensive ability. Its advantage was that it had a large area of effect, and it could deal with many people at once. However, the power of the sound wave attack was very average. Any ability user with a slightly stronger body would be able to withstand the attack of the other party.
The uppermost level of Owls Base was a sealed space with houses on all four sides and a plaza in the center. This environment was perfect for sound wave ability users to display their skills, and the moment a large group of people entered this level, they would immediately be attacked by sound wave ability users.
Xia Fei weighed the sound wave reflector in his hand a few times. A small sound wave reflector was able to prevent injuries, so this person must not be a very high rank.
Their plan was to first get the sound wave ability user to get rid of the weaker warriors, and then the warriors of the Ning family and Owls Pirates would work together to get rid of the stronger ones, thus achieving their goal of uprooting the seven major forces.
The poor people of the seven major forces still had no idea that they had fallen into the trap laid out by the Ning family, Owls Pirates, and Broken Blade.
.....
A few moments later, Xia Fei changed into the Owls Pirates uniform and walked out of the restroom. Since the original owner of the uniform had told him what he needed to do, he no longer had any value to him, so Xia Fei did not hesitate to send him on his way.
A long corridor connected all the rooms together, and there were countless rooms on the left and right sides.
Letting out a long sigh, Xia Fei randomly opened a room and walked in with his head down. He saw four of Scars men sitting around twenty meters away from Xia Fei, whispering to each other as they held laser guns in their hands.
Breath Control was a rather miraculous technique. They had clearly seen Xia Fei walk into the room, yet they did not feel the slightest bit of vigilance. It was as if he was a gentle breeze blowing through the door. Though they could feel it, they would not pay it any attention, for he was just a gust of wind. Everyone was very familiar with him, so no one would pay any attention to him.
All of a sudden, this gentle breeze turned into a deadly storm!
* Whoosh! *
A distance of twenty meters was too close for Xia Fei, and he only needed one-twentieth of a second to cross it. With just a slight movement of his feet, Xia Fei was already right in front of them!
Before his figure had even settled, the blade had already arrived!
The green Chasing Light shot out from Xia Fei's sleeves, heading straight for the throats of the men!
It took some time for Chasing Light to be ejected from the mechanism, and by the time Chasing Light was fully extended, Xia Fei had already killed all four of them!
It was such an incredible speed that the naked eye could not even see it clearly!
* Kacha! * Xia Fei had already retreated to the door after the green dagger was extended and retracted, closing the door with his hand.
At this moment, the four men who were already dead only managed to catch a glimpse of Xia Fei's afterimage. They did not even feel fear, for they did not even have the time to think about what had just happened when they died.
From the moment he made his move, to the moment he killed them, to the moment he retreated, the entire process had only taken a few tenths of a second.
If one were to watch from the corridor, it would be like watching someone open and close a door. This process was very short, but it was enough to kill everyone in the room.
He continued forward, opening and closing another door. This time, there were three lives.
There was no change in expression on Xia Fei's face, and his black eyes were as calm as water. He was like a machine, repeating the same thing over and over again, something that he was very familiar with and very good at.
Killing someone was actually not simple, and there were many factors that needed to be considered, but Xia Fei had managed to simplify this complicated task to the extreme.
Opening the door, observing, accelerating, unsheathing, closing the door.
Six actions were done in one go, and there were no fancy moves at all. It was as plain as plain water.
The only thing that could be considered gorgeous was the green arc that Chasing Light had drawn. Unfortunately, very few people were able to clearly see this elegant semicircle, for it was simply too fast. Just like the name of Xia Fei's weapon, it was so fast that it could almost chase after light.
In this world, speed was the only thing that could not be defeated. Speed ability users were born killers, and with Xia Fei's unique Breath Control and Crafty Thrust, he was like a fish in water when it came to killing, claiming over a hundred lives in the blink of an eye.
It was not difficult to find the location of Owls Base's command center. Xia Fei stood at the entrance and pressed his ear against the cold alloy door, trying to hear what was going on inside. Unfortunately, the thick alloy door completely blocked out all sound, and he could not hear anything.
Xia Fei had killed over three hundred of Scar's men in the operation just now. Currently, aside from the four snipers in the plaza and the small team responsible for luring the allied forces, there were only two people left alive in the rooms on the highest floor of the base: Scar, who was in the command center, and Banan, a sound ability user who had been hired at a high price from somewhere else.
The normal soldiers posed no threat to Xia Fei, and Banan, who had the sound ability, was not much of a threat, either. However, Scar was still quite troublesome. He was a shapeshifting ability user, and he had a rare ability called Thousand Thorns. Xia Fei had no choice but to deal with him seriously.
Xia Fei opened the door slightly and cautiously peered inside.
The command center was over a thousand square meters in size, and there were countless instruments scattered in every corner. It was obvious that someone had modified this place, and it was no longer what it used to be.
A middle-aged man, who was covered in hair from head to toe, was sitting on a large metal chair. Beside him was a sallow man in his thirties.
The middle-aged man sitting there was none other than the captain of the Owls Pirates, Scar. There was a frightening scarlet cut across his forehead, as if someone had cut his head in half and sewn it back together.
His shoulders were broad and sturdy, and his arms were thick and powerful. His entire body was covered in black hair, and even his palms were covered in dense hairs. If one did not look closely, one would think that he was a chimpanzee.
The chair he was sitting on was completely welded together from alloy plates. It was thick and strange, and it was hard to imagine what kind of person would like such a hard chair.
Scar and Banan each had a glass of golden malt wine in their hands. The two were very relaxed as they drank, as if they did not care about the allied forces that had already invaded the base.
The muscles in Xia Fei's legs were tense. The moment he saw an opportunity, he would rush in without hesitation and use Chasing Light to finish off these two.
Scar gulped down a mouthful of wine and used the hairs on his arm as a handkerchief to wipe his mouth. Brother Banan, I heard that old fox Ning Baichen intends to give you thirty virgins after the deed is done. Is that true?
The sallow man, Banan, was evidently not used to this kind of strong malt wine. Just a small sip of the malt wine had caused his face to turn somewhat rosy.
After taking a few deep breaths, Banan said, Heh, actually, even if he doesnt give me anything, I will still help him out. After all, the Ning clan once helped me when I escaped from the Alliance to the Wild Star Region.
Is that true? Scar laughed heartily.
Banan placed the glass of wine on the table and said sinisterly, Of course, its not true. We are the people of the Wild Star Region. Only a fool would do something that doesnt benefit them.
Thats right! Youre absolutely right. As long as there is money, even if someone wants to buy my mother, Ill still sell her! Scar cracked a clumsy joke, rocking back and forth in laughter.
