This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!-Chapter 320 - 59: The Journey Home
Chapter 320: Chapter 59: The Journey Home
Li Fei took out a bottle of Elixir from his bosom and poured all the pills directly into his mouth.
This was the Iron Sand Qi Refilling Pill, specially made to restore Gold Attribute Innate Qi.
However, this kind of Elixir was too potent and could cause a certain amount of damage to the Implant, so it should not be taken in excess.
But for Li Fei, who possessed the Myriad Blood Pearl, he only cared about the efficacy of the medicine—the greater the damage it caused to the human body, the better.
After swallowing over a dozen Iron Sand Qi Refilling Pills in one breath, the steel armor Implant in Li Fei’s body, which had already entered a state of exhaustion, rapidly restored its Primordial Qi, and Li Fei himself also recovered a portion of his physical and mental energy.
Innate Qi required the human body to provide energy as well, so this Elixir was not merely for refilling the Implant’s Primordial Qi.
After standing still for a while and waiting until a portion of his Innate Qi had been restored, Li Fei quickly ran over to pick up Yu Longqing’s head.
Then, with the head in tow, he rapidly made his way toward the location of the convoy.
From the time he drew away several Tao Foundation Stage powerhouses and two Exotic Beasts to now, when the battle had ended, and he began his return, it had taken less than ten minutes in total.
Yet, in these less than ten minutes, the highway had become a river of blood; more than fifty people had fallen!
On Qingyuan City Management Company’s side, the main force this time was from Qingyuan Fist Village. Although these people had followed Shangguan Xiao for many years and were generously funded on normal days, very few were truly willing to fight to the death for the company.
Only a few leaders such as Xiang Du were leading the fight to the end.
Therefore, even though the battle had only been raging for a few minutes, with an overwhelming disadvantage and increasing casualties, Qingyuan City Management Company’s side was already on the verge of collapse.
If it weren’t for Zhao Yi shooting and killing more than twenty martial artists from the other side, Qingyuan City Management Company would have collapsed even quicker!
Seeing that some people were starting to flee, Zhao Yi, who had been hiding behind a dirt mound and sniping, threw down her rifle and was also planning to retreat.
She quickly ran toward the convoy blocking the road ahead, intending to highjack an enemy vehicle.
Just as she had set her sights on a car and was about to make her move, a voice rumbled from afar:
“Yu Longqing is dead—”
“Huh?”
Zhao Yi jerked her head up to look in the direction of the voice, barely making out a black dot amidst the distant sandstorm.
“Could it be…”
“Yu Longqing is dead!!!”
The voice came again.
This time clearer and more resounding, reaching the ears of most people on the battlefield.
“What’s going on?”
“Did they say the Beast King is dead?”
“How is that possible?!”
“…”
The subordinates of the ‘Beast King’ were half-skeptical, but all hesitated, and their assault momentarily faltered.
“Yu Longqing is dead!!!”
The voice came a third time.
This time, it exploded like thunder beside the ears of everyone present!
Everyone stopped their actions and turned to look at the figure racing toward them.
“It’s the Green-faced Ghost!”
“It’s Ghost Ye!”
“Ghost Ye has won!”
“Ghost Ye killed the Beast King!”
“…”
In an instant, the morale of the already crumbling Qingyuan City Management Company’s people soared!
Meanwhile, people from the other three powers were stirred, finding it hard to believe.
Four Tao Foundation Stage powerhouses plus two Exotic Beasts, with the ‘Beast King’ himself taking action—how could such a lineup lose?!
In the blink of an eye, the figure had already rushed close.
Whether true or false, no one dared to confront the Green-faced Ghost head-on at this moment, so those belonging to the three powers nearby all retreated, keeping their distance.

Crack!
Li Fei heavily stepped on the ground, causing the earth to collapse beneath him, then like a shooting star, he traversed a few dozen meters and leapt onto the roof of a heavy truck.
He raised Yu Longqing’s head high with one hand and roared loudly:
“Yu Longqing is dead—”
The martial artists nearby had good vision and immediately recognized the head in Li Fei’s hand as truly that of Yu Longqing.
Now, the subordinate forces of the ‘Beast King’ were unable to hold it together, and two Refining Strength Martial Masters took to their heels.
With these two leading, the rest of the martial masters and Body Breaking Stage martial artists also scattered and fled.
Seeing the forces of the ‘Beast King’ fleeing, the remaining people of the ‘Poison King’ and ‘Gun King’ no longer hesitated, and quickly started to run.
In the blink of an eye, the enemy martial artists had vanished without a trace!
Without the martial artists, the remaining hundred or so gunmen lost their will to fight, each only regretting not being able to run faster.
Li Fei did not order a pursuit, because he could see that his subordinates had also reached their limits.
As for himself, the portion of Innate Qi he had just recovered had been spent rushing to the scene, leaving him now as nothing more than an empty shell. If the people from the three powers had not fled but chosen to continue a desperate fight…
What the seven Tao Foundation Stage fighters could not achieve might have been accomplished by them in the end!
But none of that happened. The Green-faced Ghost, standing tall with Yu Longqing’s head in hand, appeared unscathed and intimidating.
After all, everyone was drawing a salary—who would willingly fight to the death?
Moments later, the enemy had all retreated, leaving a field of corpses behind.
Li Fei stood atop the truck, surveying the scene.
The people present also looked up at him, their eyes filled with admiration and awe.
This was the first time Li Fei had fought side by side with his subordinates in the identity of the Green-faced Ghost.
He again lifted high the head of Yu Longqing, declaring word by word:
“We have won!!!”
The people on the scene first fell silent, and then one by one, they roared out loud.
In the roar there was ecstatic joy of surviving a calamity, respect for the Green-faced Ghost, and pride in following the correct leader.
Because Li Fei had said, “We’ve won.”
Yes, they faced the encirclement and suppression of Datong Prefecture’s “Beast King,” “Poison King,” and “Gun King” three major powers, and they ultimately won this battle!
Then everyone began to clean up the battlefield, treating the wounded, burying the enemy’s bodies on the spot, and collecting their own fallen to take back. Some car tires were blown out and needed to be replaced…
Li Fei also led a team back to where they had previously battled and dragged back the corpses of two exotic beasts.
Both of these exotic beasts were of the fifth level top-grade, making them treasures all over!
With their bodies, fifth level top-grade implants could be crafted, at least two fifth level abnormal weapons, and several pieces of fifth level protective clothing!
In this battle, Li Fei’s forth level protective clothing was already mostly damaged, no longer wearable,, which was perfect for a replacement with something better.
In addition, in this battle the Myriad Blood Pearl had absorbed a massive amount of energy, accumulating energy values up to 93%, and it wasn’t far from upgrading again.
March 30th, 9:14 PM.
A fully loaded caravan arrived at the exotic beast breeding farm on the outskirts of Xing City.
Because the vehicles were damaged, and they were carrying two exotic beasts each weighing over 10 tons, the caravan arrived more than ten hours later than expected.
Fortunately, they arrived safely.
The exotic beast breeding farm had made preparations well in advance, and they began to unload the cargo methodically before quickly delivering the food to the beasts that were already starving.
Over an hour later, the caravan set off again, entering Xing City.
To be on the safe side, Li Fei decided to store most of the food in the warehouse inside the city.
Naturally, the corpses of the Thunder Light Snow Leopard Beast and the Demon Qilin Horned Tiger Beast had to be stored inside the city too. Later, professionals would be contacted to process the corpses for use in crafting abnormal weapons and protective clothing.
After the caravan entered the city, Li Fei went to Qingyuan Fist Village first.
Nowadays, the headquarters of Qingyuan City Management Company was also inside the Fist Village.
At the entrance of the Fist Village, hundreds of brawny men dressed in black were standing in two lines.
These were all the people from Qingyuan Fist Village who had stayed behind, and now they all came out, standing in two lines outside the gate.
Liu San, the current acting leader of the Fist Village, personally stood at the forefront waiting.
Moments later, a figure walked towards them.
Liu San’s smile appeared on his face and then immediately straightened up, bowing deeply to the person approaching:
“Ghost Grandpa!”
Clap—
The black-clad brawny men all snapped to attention,, with many revealing nervous expressions.
Together, they all bowed deeply, and hundreds of them shouted in unison:
“Ghost Grandpa!!!”
Li Fei, wearing a mask, walked by without a sideways glance, heading straight for the gate.
Not until he entered the gate of the Fist Village did everyone straighten up.
Behind him, including Liu San, everyone watched his retreating figure with a frenzied look.
The news of the battle on the wasteland had already spread back to Xing City, and it was slowly circulating:
The Green-faced Ghost was besieged by seven martial artists at the Tao Foundation Stage but ultimately killed six of them!
For the low-level Jianghu people, such feat was like a myth.
That’s why people like Liu San were now beginning to show something akin to fanatic worship of the Green-faced Ghost!
A moment later, Li Fei met with Liu San alone.
“The compensation for the brothers who sacrificed their lives this time must be paid in full.”
The first thing Li Fei said to Liu San was this.
Liu San immediately felt that he had not followed the wrong person, nodding quickly:
“Don’t worry,, I will personally oversee this matter!”
“Also,, I’ll give you another 200,000 yuan,, which will be a bonus for the brothers who participated in the battle this time. Don’t miss out on the people from the Zhi Ge Court who joined the battle—they should get the same bonus,, you’ll have to find a way to give them a reason to accept this money,”
Li Fei continued.
Previously, he had Liu San prepare more than 700,000 in cash for the trade with Luo Yifu in the provincial city, spending over 300,000 to buy exotic beast food and 200,000 spent on the Wood Ghost Binding Curse. Now Li Fei was pulling out another 200,000 as a bonus, leaving him with not much cash on hand.
200,000 in bonus was no small sum, but Li Fei believed this money should be spent and had no intention of skimping.
Moreover, if things went as expected, he would soon earn much more money.
“The third matter,, the corpse of Chen Junzhi, the Chen Family’s old ancestor, I’ve brought back. You send someone now to take the corpse to the Chen family.”
Li Fei commanded further.
The old ancestor of the Chen family was their final pillar, the last hope for the Chen family’s comeback.
With the death of Chen Junzhi, the Chen family in Xing City was now completely a thing of the past.
The Chen family had been operating for over sixty years in Xing City, and the businesses they had managed would ultimately be swallowed up by the Qingyuan City Management Company!
Thus, Li Fei believed he would soon make more money.
After chatting with Liu San for a while, Li Fei let him go downstairs to handle matters, and he picked up the phone on the desk and dialed a number.
The call connected quickly, and Shangguan Xiao’s cool voice came through:
“Who is this?”
A smile appeared on Li Fei’s face, and he regained his natural voice, “Auntie Master, it’s me,, I’m back in Xing City.”
“That’s good!”
Shangguan Xiao also sounded very pleased.
She had received a call yesterday, knowing the outcome of the battle in the wasteland.
But only now did she finally put her heart at ease:
“When will you return to Datong Prefecture City?”
“I’ll return tomorrow.”
Li Fei laughed.
Since he had won the battle yesterday, when the Green-faced Ghost returned to Datong Prefecture City again, it would be time to settle scores!
