Chapter 483: Chapter 376: Silence and Anger (Second update)

Beside her, Yu Feng roared in fury as he charged at Zhang Jiandao. He understood the principle of ’capture the ringleader first’. If he could seize Zhang Jiandao, at least he could stall until Su Yu and the others arrived.

Yu Feng, tall and heroic-looking, was extremely fond of Lei Rui and was the outstanding one amongst those seeking Lei Rui’s affections. Lei Rui also had a good impression of him. The pearl flower on Lei Rui’s head was a gift from Yu Feng. Therefore, when Lei Rui was tasked by Qin Jiagui to come here, Yu Feng would naturally play the role of her escort.

With a shout, Yu Feng waved his hand, drawing a sword from the Treasure Bracelet on his left wrist, and lunged at Zhang Jiandao.

Zhang Jiandao’s eyes brightened when he saw Yu Feng’s Treasure Weapon. He snickered. "Who would have thought that good things would come knocking on my door?" His figure flickered and suddenly disappeared in front of Yu Feng. When he reappeared, he was at Yu Feng’s side, reaching out with his right hand to grab Yu Feng’s wrist and twist it.

With a crisp snap, Yu Feng’s right hand was snapped, and the Treasure Weapon was seized.

"Yu Feng—" Lei Rui had just been knocked down by the lean Level Five man and had fallen heavily on the ground. She happened to see Zhang Jiandao snapping Yu Feng’s arm, and then Zhang Jiandao sneered, "This bothersome kid should be killed today—" He brutally slammed his left hand down onto Yu Feng’s head.

Lei Rui watched, unable to stop herself from shrieking in horror. They had originally thought there was only one Level Five individual, the skinny man in the enemy camp. Even though they were outnumbered, they believed they could hold on until either Su Yu or the other reinforcements arrived. But she hadn’t expected this lavishly dressed, seeming foppish Zhang Jiandao. His hidden abilities were even stronger than the thin-faced man. With a move, he disarmed Yu Feng, striking him on the head with deadly accuracy. His moves were ruthless.

Lei Rui watched as Yu Feng’s skull split open, splattering blood and brain matter... her face instantly turned blank.

The man from "Freedom Village" who was under Lei Rui’s command ran helter-skelter towards the North Gate, his heart pounding with anxiety.

Conflicts were fairly common in Peach Blossom Town, but as long as one did not stir up trouble, the chances of incidents occurring were slim. Moreover, Lei Rui had a group of more than a dozen people with her at the time. Most people would not dare to provoke them. They couldn’t have predicted the sudden incident that occurred today.

This man didn’t stop all the way and finally reached the "North Gate". They had agreed to meet there at four o’clock. Although it was still some time before four o’clock when he arrived, and he saw people everywhere, there wasn’t a single person from Freedom Village.

After waiting for a while, Gu Lingshuang and Ren Honglin were the first to arrive, chatting and laughing as they walked over. They had been shopping for the entire day and had bought quite a lot of stuff. Gu Lingshuang was beaming, with Ren Honglin’s arms full of bags.

"Both of you—" This man’s eyes lit up as he hurried over to meet them, anxiously saying, "We’ve run into trouble. Lei Rui and the others are in danger."

Gu Lingshuang and Ren Honglin could not recognize this man at first, vaguely feeling that he looked familiar and was probably a part of their group earlier. However, upon hearing that Lei Rui was in danger, their faces changed. Gu Lingshuang quickly said, "Calm down, explain it properly. What happened?"

The man quickly explained the conflict that had occurred at the "Machine Workshop". Ren Honglin immediately dropped the bags he was carrying, and Gu Lingshuang asked for the location of the "Machine Workshop". She instructed this man to stay and wait for Su Yu and the others while she and Ren Honglin hurried off to the "Machine Workshop".

Seeing Gu Lingshuang and Ren Honglin heading for the rescue calmed him a bit. Both Gu Lingshuang and Ren Honglin were Level Five warriors. Their rescue, coupled with the Level Five warrior in Lei Rui’s group, should be enough to handle the conflict.

This man stayed as he was told. After a while, Su Yu, Ma Ziye, Su Yun, Kou Xiaowei and the dog Lost finally arrived, chatting and laughing.

"Huh? Didn’t we agree to meet here at four o’clock? It’s already past four now. I thought we would be the last ones to arrive, but it seems like we are the first?" Ma Ziye couldn’t help but smile when she didn’t see Lei Rui and the others.

"The old man is always late. If he says four, he won’t show up until five. That’s why I told you all not to rush over at four. See, I was right. Everyone ended up being late." Su Yun laughed. Just then, a man ran towards them, anxiously shouting, "Sir, there’s trouble. Miss Lei and the others have run into trouble."

Because Gu Lingshuang and Ren Honglin had already gone on ahead, this man had calmed down a bit. Seeing Su Yu and the others, he hurried over and explained everything in detail.

Su Yu furrowed his brows, confirmed the location, and said only one thing: "I’ll go ahead." His figure blurred and he disappeared into the crowd.

Watching Su Yu go ahead, Ma Ziye let this man stay behind to continue waiting for the others, and then they too hurried to follow Su Yu.

Su Yu quickly arrived at the "Machine Workshop". When he got there, he found that there was still a group of onlookers outside. He could smell the scent of blood from afar, which made his heart tighten.

Leaving the crowd behind, Su Yu stepped in to see the entrance to the "Machine Workshop" in a complete mess. The five coaches belonging to "Freedom Village" were completely destroyed; even the Horned Demon Horses had suffered, with two of them lying dead. Many people were strewn around, all battered and bruised. Amongst the injured, three were critically hurt, and there were two corpses. Gu Lingshuang was arguing with an old looking man at the entrance of the workshop. The man just kept shaking his head, seemingly unwilling to answer.

Ren Honglin was questioning the others around him, causing them to continuously shrink back, as if avoiding a venomous snake.

With a single glance, Su Yu noticed that Lei Rui was missing from the crowd.

"What happened?" Su Yu simply asked this one concise question as he arrived, and immediately, the injured villagers of freedom started struggling to get up.

"Sir, you must avenge us. Miss Lei has been taken, and brothers Yu Feng and Qiao... are... dead..." One of them choked indignantly, while others couldn’t contain their tears.

Gu Lingshuang and Ren Honglin quickly turned and said, "Su Yu."

Su Yu nodded at them, and walked over to the two corpses. He vaguely remembered the man named Yu Feng, who had been very close to Lei Rui. The man was tall, handsome and filled with masculine charm. The other corpse was a man surnamed Qiao, whose name Su Yu had forgotten. He was one of the new Level Five members. Su Yu never expected that he would die so soon after advancing to Level Five, and his death was a gruesome one - his limbs and head had been viciously twisted, leading to his demise.

Seeing the tragic scene before him, Su Yu was silent for a moment before he said, "Rest assured, we will collect this blood debt tenfold."

"Sir —" these ten or so injured men all choked up, among them, one said, "Sir, you must save Miss Lei... They... They took her... I fear... I’m afraid that they might..."

Su Yu’s heart shrank as he asked, "Do you guys know who they are? Do you know where Lei Rui has been taken?"

The people there shook their heads in response, and Su Yu quickly said, "Ada."

Ada also shook her head with a sigh, "There are too many people here; I can’t sense anything."

Su Yu’s heart sank, Gu Lingshuang quickly said, "The person in charge here seems to know something, but he just won’t tell me anything." She pointed at the old man she had just spoken to.

The old man looked back at Su Yu with a casual gaze as he noticed the Category 5 Lifeform lying on Su Yu’s shoulder, presuming he must be the leader. However, he thought to himself, what difference does it make? Judging by Su Yu’s aura, he figured he was at most a Level Five fighter, hence he didn’t take him seriously.

This old man was indeed in charge of the machine workshop. He was silenced by the torment that resulted from him inadvertently divulging information. Although he felt a sense of guilt, he was aware of the strength of the opposition. Thus, he chose not to reveal anything to Gu Lingshuang and the others for their own good. He was afraid that if he told Gu Lingshuang the whereabouts of the opposition, she might end up walking into the lion’s den.

After seeing Gu Lingshuang pointing at the old man, Su Yu nodded and walked over to him, asking simply, "Where are they?"

The old man shook his head, sighed and said, "Young man, give it up. In this world, many people die every day. This world is so cruel..."

He didn’t finish the word "cruel" when suddenly his throat was seized. The force was shocking. Despite being a Level Five fighter, he felt as if his skull would burst under the grip, and he was barely able to breathe.

His face turned pale with terror.

Su Yu stared at him coldly. At this moment, the old man finally realized the terror of this quiet and seemingly gentle young man. The fear was bone-chilling, and he had never experienced such a thing before.

Ada squinted slightly. She knew today, Peach Blossom Town, is about to experience an even greater tumult than Freedom Village.

Su Yu was a gentle person, but he was also fiercely protective of his loved ones and friends. As the leader of Freedom Village, everyone in the village was his partner. Now that many of them were injured, two were dead, and Lei Rui was captured with her fate unknown, Su Yu was thoroughly enraged. The more silently he seethed, the deeper his anger brewed.
