Chapter 520: Chapter 520: Strange Feeling
Looking at Li Licheng in this state, Mo Feng unexpectedly felt a sense of emotion welling up in his heart!
He had originally thought that Li Licheng would stubbornly refuse to back down, keeping him from leaving, but now it seemed that Elder Li was indeed a good man!
Touched by his decision, Mo Feng quickly reassured, “Elder, please do not worry, I’ll make sure to do everything in my power to win!”
“This will serve as a fitting end to my journey.”
Hearing this, Li Licheng nodded, motioning with his hand for him to leave. He wore a look of sorrow, as if he didn’t wish to speak more with Mo Feng.
Overwhelmed with gratitude, Mo Feng hurriedly left, immediately sharing the good news with Mo Yu and the others.
Just from Mo Feng’s description, everyone thought highly of Li Licheng.
However, for some reason, Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t shake off a feeling of unease.
Why would they let Mo Feng, their young master, leave just like that?
Could it be that Li Licheng wasn’t worried at all about Mo Feng revealing information about their organization to outsiders?
Before this, Jiang Xiaobai’s idea was for Mo Feng to continue as the young master of their group while venturing out with them for experience.
But Mo Feng was more determined, after finding out that Mo Yu was still alive, his only wish was to stay by her side and to protect his elder sister!
The organization seemed to be more of a burden to him now.
Regardless, Jiang Xiaobai deeply respected Mo Feng’s decision.
“Boss, don’t you find this situation a little strange?”
“Looking at Elder Li’s face, I can’t help but feel that he’s up to something.”
AnRan whispered to Jiang Xiaobai.
Jiang Xiaobai just shrugged: “I have no idea, we can just see how things go. After all, this is their matter, it’s not appropriate for us to intervene.”
AnRan nodded, glancing again at Elder Li on the stage, and felt a chill down his spine.
It felt as if he could see right through Li Licheng.
Then the martial arts competition began. In these round-robin matches, each winner accumulates a point, while losers earn none. The ultimate victor is the one with the most points!
This system gives everyone more opportunities to fight, ensuring that the strongest of the four emerges victorious.
Since Mo Feng was already in the late stages of his ‘Dividing the gods’ realm, the rules specified that both competitors would be restricted to the same realm.
The first person to step forward was Li Licheng.
“Now, let the martial arts competition begin. The first match pairs Mo Feng against Zheng Xin!”
Li Licheng announced with a calm smile from the stage. The two fighters then stepped onto the arena, exchanged a few courteous remarks, and began their duel.
Prior to this, Li Licheng had obviously forced Zheng Xin down to the same level as Mo Feng.
Their battle appeared exciting and dazzling, yet to Jiang Xiaobai and the others, it was rather monotonous.
They were all veterans of numerous battles in the God of War space; their understanding and grasp of combat far surpassed that of Mo Feng and his ilk.
Moreover, in the God of War Space, everyone had experienced real life-or-death battles!
After watching for a while, Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t help but yawn, distracted by the surrounding scene.
But once he looked, he felt a sense of unease.
He always felt an undercurrent of hostility brewing, and the atmosphere around was eerily uncomfortable
He rubbed his eyes, glanced again at the battling duo, then scanned his surroundings.
But this time, the strange, lingering sensation of being watched had disappeared.
“Strange.”
Jiang Xiaobai knitted his eyebrows, incidentally catching Li Licheng’s eye. They were both watching each other!
Li Licheng gave a smile and a casual nod to Jiang Xiaobai before returning his attention to the ongoing match.
“There’s definitely something off about this place.”
Jiang Xiaobai was utterly confused, but didn’t choose to ask anyone about it. Instead, he went on high alert.
In fact, ever since he stepped foot into this underground city he had felt that something was amiss. Despite it appearing like any normal city, a familiar aura permeated the air, one that he had encountered before!
Even so, he couldn’t quite place it.
Shrugging it off, Jiang Xiaobai increased his caution and turned his focus back to the stage.
On the stage, Mo Feng was indeed potent. Compared to Zheng Xin, who was restrained to the same level, he was simply out of his league. In less than ten minutes, Zheng Xin was defeated!
Suddenly, cheers burst from the audience. Everyone clapped enthusiastically.
This was, after all, Qingxuan City; Mo Feng, the young master, had home-field advantage.
Thereafter, it was time for the other two to fight, before the winner would challenge Mo Feng.
However, this time, Mo Feng didn’t have it as easy. Despite being restrained to the same level as him, the other aspects of his opponent far exceeded Mo Feng’s!
The battle hadn’t even lasted five minutes before Mo Feng was being cornered.
This had Mo Yu extremely worried.
But at this point, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly squinted his eyes. He felt something strange regarding Mo Feng’s opponent.
While it appeared that the opponent’s realm had been suppressed down to the same level as Mo Feng, he still had a more dominant aura than Mo Feng!
Zhuang Huanling, Ao Yan and others also noticed the anomaly. They all exchanged confused glances.
“That Li Licheng is playing dirty.”
Ao Cheng squinted his eyes: “Is he deliberately using such methods to force Mo Feng into defeat, making him stay within the organization?”
“I’m not sure, let’s keep watching.”
Jiang Xiaobai squinted, feeling a sudden bout of agitation, as if some sort of trouble was brewing in the vicinity.
Faced with such a strange turn of events, Jiang Xiaobai was more alert than ever, ready for any unexpected problems.
Meanwhile, on the stage, Mo Feng was increasingly cornered.
He knew he could not lose. Neither emotionally nor logically.
Luckily, he had prepared beforehand. Before the match began, he had gulped down the pill given to him by Feng He.
The effect of the pill had been wrapped up by his spirit, reserved for emergencies.
Seeing his disadvantage, Mo Feng released the effect of the pill, instantly feeling himself grow stronger.
“Like this, I just might be able to defeat you!”
Mo Feng thought to himself, preparing to go all out for the next attack.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt as though his veins were being scorched by raging flames, the pain was unbearable!
Without any forewarning, he spat out a mouthful of blood!
The entire crowd was instantly shocked!
