Chapter 167: Contest

Their gazes met, transmitting messages between them.

Li Qi: I’m the main one!

Feng Mochuan: I’m stronger than you.

Li Qi: I’m the main one!!

Feng Mochuan: I have more underlings than you.

Li Qi: I’m the main one!!!

Feng Mochuan: I’m richer than you.

Li Qi: ...

MMP

It seems I can’t beat him in any area.

Li Qi was very frustrated, clearly, I was here first.

No, I need to develop my influence too.

Li Qi resolved quietly; having been trained by the Shadow Division from a young age, he knew very well how to establish an assassination intelligence organization.

Moreover, he had an unmatched advantage in this area.

That is the Night Demon Bloodline.

With the evolution of the Night Demon Bloodline, he could now convert others into Night Demon Apostles, not only enhancing their power but also ensuring their absolute loyalty.

Loyalty is the number one priority for an intelligence organization.

In terms of fighting strength, indeed, he was currently no match for Feng Mochuan.

But when it comes to killing and the assistance he could provide in the future, he would not lose to Feng Mochuan at all.

"I’m leaving first, you two have a good conversation."

Qin Tian looked at Feng Mochuan, speaking with a hint of meaning.

Feng Mochuan’s Night Demon Bloodline couldn’t be hidden for long; once a fight broke out, his Spiritual Ability Attribute would switch from Wind Element to Dark Element, definitely attracting attention.

But such a matter, let Feng Mochuan explain himself.

"Okay."

Feng Mochuan nodded, he indeed needed to think carefully about how to explain his situation to his brothers.

Additionally, he also wanted to discuss with Li Qi, to quickly familiarize himself with the many abilities of the Night Demon and learn more about their boss’s character and way of doing things.

"Brother Qin Tian, are you leaving?"

"Stay a while longer, we haven’t properly thanked you yet."

Everyone persuaded him to stay.

Qin Tian said, "I still have the night watch duty, can’t leave for too long. Besides, don’t you also have important things unresolved? That traitor mustn’t be allowed to escape."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Hurricane Mercenary Corps, including Feng Mochuan, suddenly changed their expressions.

Indeed,

they almost forgot about him.

Qin Tian waved and disappeared into the night.

After Qin Tian left, Feng Mochuan said coldly:

"Who here has something Duan Zheng used today?"

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what the commander meant by this.

Could it be that the commander wanted to find a Spirit Dog to track Duan Zheng?

But they’re not Elves, it seems they can’t command Spirit Beasts like that.

"I have it."

A bald man tugged at his clothes and said: "My clothes were torn this morning, and I didn’t have suitable ones to change into, so I borrowed one from Duan Zheng. It’s the one I’m wearing."

Feng Mochuan walked up to the man, his nose twitching slightly. Two faint human scents came from the clothes, one belonged to the bald man, and the other to the traitor, Duan Zheng.

"This is the power of bloodline, truly marvelous."

Feng Mochuan marveled, just having super olfactory senses gave him immense joy. Besides super smell, he also had super hearing, vision, heat perception, and blood perception abilities.

The power of the Silver Level Night Demon Bloodline is already this strong, he dared not imagine the terrifying existence of their boss’s Golden Level Night Demon Blood.

"You all wait here; Li Qi, shall we go together?" Feng Mochuan invited Li Qi.

"Alright."

Li Qi nodded.

Seeing this, everyone looked at each other in confusion; clearly, it was an internal matter of the Hurricane Mercenary Corps, why was the commander bringing an outsider instead of one of their own?

They couldn’t understand.

"Let’s go!"

Feng Mochuan took a step and rushed towards the forest depths like an arrow released from a bowstring, with Li Qi following closely; in a blink, the two vanished from sight.

Whoosh~~ whoosh~~

The wind howled past, and Li Qi and Feng Mochuan seemed like shadows in the forest, swift and ghost-like; their footsteps were light during the run, making not a sound.

"Li Qi, are you keeping up?"

Feng Mochuan turned his head, smiling as he spoke.

Li Qi didn’t answer, instead directly using Blink Step, his speed soaring instantly.

"Haha, then let’s compete in something else."

Feng Mochuan laughed loudly; his Black Wings unfurled with a flick, propelling him upward, accelerating away from Li Qi.

Not wanting to fall behind, Li Qi also spread the Night Demon Wings, speeding up to follow closely behind Feng Mochuan.

"What an amazing feeling."

While flying, Feng Mochuan was like a child with a newfound toy, filled with wonder and joy.

He was a Wind Element Spiritualist and had previously mastered Wind Element Flight Skill.

But compared to flight driven by Spiritual Energy, the speed of the Night Demon Wings was faster and more free-willed.

Whoosh~~

Li Qi caught up, flying side by side with Feng Mochuan.

Feng Mochuan glanced over; in terms of utilizing Night Demon abilities, Li Qi was far more skilled, while his advantage in Spiritual Ability Level faded due to switching from Wind Spiritual Energy to Dark Spiritual Energy.

Need to quickly find some Dark Element Cultivation Techniques and Martial Techniques, he thought silently.

"We’re here."

Li Qi said in a deep voice, beginning to slow down as they descended.

Feng Mochuan’s nose twitched, his eyebrows furrowed instantly.

Snap~~

Their feet hit the ground.

Li Qi and Feng Mochuan retracted their Night Demon Wings, looking down at their feet.

The ground was strewn with scattered leaves, the evening wind blowing, carrying the scent of soil.

Yet mixed within this scent was a faint trace of blood, unnoticeable to ordinary people; but to the Night Demon, extremely sensitive to blood, this bloody scent was stark.

"Duan Zheng’s scent disappeared here."

Li Qi squatted down, turned over the soil, sniffing, and said: "There’s a special smell like corpse-dissolving liquid; he must have been killed to silence him."

Feng Mochuan’s gaze deepened. If Duan Zheng had colluded with Dark Elves, he wouldn’t have been silenced; Dark Elves didn’t care about who knew the truth.

Only those with ulterior motives would eliminate Duan Zheng after his mission succeeded, ensuring he could never speak again.

"Director Feng, who do you think did this?" Li Qi asked.

"Huoshan Mercenary Corps."

Feng Mochuan said coldly, "The boss told me that the Huoshan Mercenary Corps is plotting something, and the Hurricane Mercenary Corps and the Sirius Mercenary Corps might become obstacles, so they want to remove us."

"And I’m their first target."

Li Qi nodded after listening, focusing on how Feng Mochuan referred to Qin Tian.

The boss.

So Feng Mochuan calls the master ’the boss.’

Listening to this, it seems the relationship isn’t closer than mine with the boss.

Hehehe.

Li Qi: "How do you plan to deal with the Huoshan Mercenary Corps?"

Feng Mochuan’s lips curled into a cold smile, "The boss told me not to act against them for now, but causing them some trouble should be fine."

Li Qi raised an eyebrow, feeling a moment of silence for the Huoshan Mercenary Corps.

Having provoked a nearly Tier Six Night Demon, Huoshan Mercenary Corps, your good days are numbered.
