“Green-faced Ghost has appeared?”
Everyone present was initially taken aback, then a Captain from the Inspection Bureau immediately tossed aside his umbrella:
“Let’s go!”
His team of Inspectors also threw away their umbrellas and ran towards the direction of the sound.
“Big Brother Fei?”
Luo Hua and the others instinctively looked towards Li Fei.
...
Li Fei himself was somewhat stunned:

The Green-faced Ghost has appeared?
If you are the Green-faced Ghost, then who am I?
“Let’s go!”
He too discarded his umbrella and dashed out into the rain.
A group of people ran through the heavy rain, occasionally hearing gunshots ahead.
They were just a street away from the battleground, and as soon as they turned the corner, they saw a black figure dash out from a house with a group of knife- and rifle-wielding Inspectors in hot pursuit.
The black figure ran towards Li Fei and his companions.
Li Fei focused his eyes; through the countless lines of rain, he could only vaguely make out the figure was about his size with a green mask on its face and a common single-handed steel knife in its hand.
“Quite similar indeed.”
Li Fei quietly scoffed to himself.
“Fire!”
The leading Captain decisively pulled out his sidearm and shot at the ‘Green-faced Ghost’ rushing towards them.
“Click….”
The gun did not fire.
Click… click… click… bang!
Not only the Captain, but also the other dozen-plus Inspectors who took aim with their Tiger Rifles, in the end, less than half their guns went off.
Though firearms of this era had some degree of waterproof capabilities, there was still a high chance of malfunction when soaked.
In such torrential rain, the group had run through the downpour, soaking their firearms, so many did not fire.
Moreover, at a distance of tens of meters compounded by the rain obscuring their vision, the few bullets that did fire failed to hit the ‘Green-faced Ghost.’
“Use the crossbows!”
The Captain at the head turned to shout at Li Fei and the others.
For this operation, the Inspection Bureau issued equipment to these Rank A students that included not just knives and anti-stabbing clothes, but also powerful crossbows!
One reason was that they were likely facing a martial master – a highly dangerous opponent.
The second was that the heavy rain might cause firearm malfunctions, so equipping Rank A students with powerful crossbows served as a supplement and a precaution.
Li Fei’s group had a total of eleven students, issued eight powerful crossbows, which was considered very ‘over-equipped.’ This was special consideration given by Li Lei.
But in their haste, as the ‘Green-faced Ghost’ charged closer, these students couldn’t help but grow nervous, fumbling to load the crossbow arrows, and thereby slower than during regular practice.
In the end, only Li Fei, Luo Hua, and another female student managed to shoot their arrows in time, but both Luo Hua’s and the female student’s arrows missed, with only Li Fei’s gaze steady, his hand holding the powerful crossbow unshaken, as he aimed at the ‘Green-faced Ghost’ and steadily shot the arrow out.
Three arrows came flying towards him, and the ‘Green-faced Ghost’ swung his knife, deflecting the arrows.
“Draw swords!”
The Captain in command decisively gave the order.
His team put down their rifles and drew the swords at their waists.
“Get out of the way!!!”
The ‘Green-faced Ghost’ charging towards them suddenly bellowed loudly.
The voice was like thunder, especially intimidating on this stormy night.
Starting from the Body Breaking Stage, Martial Artists begin to evolve beyond ordinary humans, acquiring an aura that could be quite daunting for the average person – it stemmed from the fear born of a fundamental difference in the essence of life, like a mouse before a cat.
By the Qi Change Stage, when Martial Artists had activated their Innate Qi, that otherworldly aura became even more pronounced.
Hence, to Li Fei and the others, the ‘Green-faced Ghost’ dashing towards them no longer looked like a human, but instead, a wild elephant!
Except for Li Fei, the hearts and minds of the others were seized, a hesitation creeping into the group of sword-drawn Inspectors.
Snap!
A silhouette stepped hard on the ground, splashing up a large swath of rainwater, charging forward like an arrow released from a bow, towards the ‘Green-faced Ghost.’
It was Li Fei!
Seeing Li Fei taking the initiative, the Captain in the lead felt ashamed.
His own courage didn’t even match up to a seventeen-year-old student.
More importantly, the one charging forward was the son of his own Captain; if anything happened in front of their eyes, how could they continue living in the Inspection Bureau?
“Attack—”
He shouted loudly and also charged forward with his sword.
The first troop was the elite of the Inspection Bureau; many members had killed before and seen blood. They were not lacking in courage for real combat, so after the Captain led the charge, the rest of the team followed closely behind.
But their speed was far behind Li Fei, who had already collided with the ‘Green-faced Ghost.’
Li Fei had activated the ‘Overlord Body’ in advance, his figure swiftly expanding and growing larger, his usually loose white Martial Arts Hall uniform strained to the point of nearly ripping, and his height shot up to two meters!
His figure completely covered the ‘Green-faced Ghost’ below him, slashing down vertically from his lofty stance.
The ‘Green-faced Ghost,’ eyes cold under the mask, showed no fear as he countered with a bottom-to-top slash against Li Fei’s attack.
Clang—
A shower of sparks flew as both their steel knives broke upon impact!
The ‘Green-faced Ghost’ did not hesitate, immediately throwing the broken blade towards Li Fei’s face while stepping forward, throwing a punch towards Li Fei’s chest.
However, Li Fei ducked and leaned forward before the knife was thrown, avoiding the broken blade and preemptively colliding with the incoming fist, diminishing the force of the opponent’s punch.
