Chapter 1436 - 1436: Extremely Fast Speed

Xiao Feng suddenly opened his eyes, sweeping the dagger behind him.

However, it encountered no resistance; the blade cut through only air. There was no trace of anyone behind him, as if the sound he heard just now never existed.

Nonetheless, Xiao Feng was sure he wasn't hallucinating.

"Watch out, big brother!" Lone Wolf urgently cautioned.

Xiao Feng didn't respond, his gaze as sharp as a hawk's as he scanned the surroundings again.

Everything around him was taken in at once, and the most noticeable was the mockery in the eyes of those from Devil's Concentration Camp not far away.

"Those who are badly injured, apply the medicinal powder to your wounds first." Sun Shijie, tightly guarded by Lao Ha and others, threw out a porcelain bottle.

Xiao Feng reached out to catch it and handed it to Gong Kaishan and the others.

This was clearly not the time for courtesy; the porcelain bottle's stopper was opened and passed from one injured hand to another.

While the others were applying the medicine, Xiao Feng observed the injured conditions carefully and made a preliminary judgment...

Firstly, the person attacking from the shadows didn't possess high skill in direct confrontation.

At first glance, this seems nothing but stating the obvious.

Because if the person were adept at direct confrontation, they wouldn't need to keep ambushing from behind.

But judging from the injuries, the attacker clearly lacked striking power, relying solely on speed.

However, this is still no reason to underestimate the opponent.

As long as the timing is right and the angle of the ambush is appropriate, even a lack of striking power can be lethal.

After all, flesh and blood are fragile compared to steel weapons.

Moreover, such extreme speed should require some recovery time, or rather, preparation.

Because it's easy to burst forth once, doable twice, but continuous bursts wouldn't be called bursting anymore.

As he was contemplating this, Lu Lishuang already began to provoke: "You people only bully those weaker than you. If you have guts, come at me!"

With one sentence, Gong Kaishan and the others couldn't maintain face.

But the facts were there; they were indeed driven to a embarrassing and even humiliating state, leaving no room for argument.

Not far away, the group from Devil's Concentration Camp was all wearing cold smiles, showing no signs of being provoked.

Xiao Feng shook his head slowly, feeling that Lu Lishuang was obviously unsuited for provocation work.

If Ye Kuto were present, a mere expression might provoke the opponent to act!

Of course, Lu Lishuang was practical and didn't need to be extremely articulate.

As soon as Lu Lishuang couldn't hold back and moved first, a figure appeared about twenty meters to the right of Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng looked closely and saw that the man wasn't tall, with light eyebrows, small eyes, and a tuft of gray hair.

"Gray Rat?" Xiao Feng uncertainly asked.

The man appeared surprised, speaking in an astonished tone, "I didn't expect the famous Yan Huang to have heard of my nickname?"

Hearing the acknowledgment, Xiao Feng internally thought this was bad.

He understood the man was Tang Yunshu's designated double agent, meaning he couldn't kill him in front of those from Devil's Concentration Camp.

Otherwise, Gray Rat's identity as a double agent would be compromised.

"Leave this rat to me; you deal with the rest," Xiao Feng said coldly.

Gong Kaishan and the others agreed and charged towards the spectators from Devil's Concentration Camp.

Gray Rat laughed sinisterly and surged forward with power, instantly vanishing from the spot.

Xiao Feng's eyes focused, intercepting with the quickest speed to the left.

"Klang!"

The clash of metal sent sparks flying to the ground.

Gray Rat's small eyes widened in shock, almost unbelieving that he was intercepted halfway.

Yet, despite the surprise, his actions didn't slow down.

Utilizing the recoil, he swiftly retreated, maintaining considerable speed.

Xiao Feng's expression turned slightly grave; from the charge to the retreat, he faintly detected elements of ninjutsu in Gray Rat's movements.

Not only ninjutsu, but the opponent's arsenal seemed quite complex, like a blend, combining all strengths for concentrated release.

Objectively, Xiao Feng felt confident in direct combat, but competing in speed was unlikely to fare well.

In this respect, Gray Rat indeed lived up to the "rat" moniker.

Of course, there's nothing wrong with that.

Gray Rat focused all his talent on speed, and if he hadn't accomplished anything, it would be a waste of effort.

At this moment, Lu Yao volunteered, "Brother Yan Huang, let me handle this rat."

"You?"

Lu Yao nodded emphatically, smiling, "Don't forget, it was you, Brother Yan Huang, who specifically instructed me on escape skills back then."

Xiao Feng opened his mouth, wanting to ask if she was confident or how confident she was.

But when the words reached his lips, he decided not to ask.

If you suspect someone, don't use them, and if you use them, don't suspect them. He only needed to show his stance.

After pondering, Xiao Feng nodded slightly, reminding, "Be careful!"

"I will!" Lu Yao agreed, flipping her wrist. A ruler engraved with codes appeared in her hand.

Her gaze locked onto Gray Rat, legs bent, calf muscles taut, her figure already darting swiftly like an arrow.

Gray Rat moved immediately but had no intention of engaging directly, dodging to the side instead.

Lu Yao wasn't about to let him escape, pursuing relentlessly.

For a moment, only two afterimages were seen ravaging the yard.

After about half a minute of this chase, Gray Rat suddenly changed direction, rushing towards Hui Yi and the others!

Of course, Xiao Feng had been prepared for this, intercepting him halfway once again.

At this opportunity, Lu Yao swung the ruler in her hand, aiming straight for the back of Gray Rat's neck.

However, just as the ruler was about to make contact with Gray Rat, Lu Yao suddenly felt her vision blur; Gray Rat seemingly vanished!

No!

Not vanished, but dodged away with blinding speed.

Because of this, the ruler intended for Gray Rat was now poised to hit Xiao Feng.

Lu Yao couldn't remind him in time, immediately letting go!

Yet even so, the ruler was still carried by momentum towards Xiao Feng's neck.

At the crucial moment, Xiao Feng dodged sideways with extreme speed.

However...

He avoided the ruler but couldn't avoid Lu Yao.

"Bang!"

The two collided solidly.

Xiao Feng didn't resist with brute force, worried that counteracting might harm Lu Yao.

As a consequence, after retreating five steps, he lost balance and fell backward onto the ground.

Lu Yao landed atop him, the two in close contact.

This scene fell within Du Linlang's line of sight from the second floor, causing her to frown tightly.

Despite knowing it was coincidental, she couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.
