Chapter 118: Black Cat Appears

"Charge in!"

Xiao Feng led the way towards the county town. However, as soon as they entered the shelter, the sounds of bullets roared from all directions.

Rat-a-tat-tat!

Countless bullets surged from all sides. Xiao Feng subconsciously prepared to defend with his psychic power, shielding everyone.

But unexpectedly, a figure leaped out from the crowd behind.

It was none other than Bullet King Zhang Qiang.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The bullets originally aimed at the crowd immediately changed direction after Bullet King leaped out.

"Roar!"

Bullet King roared angrily. His skin swiftly turned into steel.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Countless bullets shot towards Bullet King, attracted by his special ability to pull in bullets.

Now, his true power was on display.

The bullets shot at Zhang Qiang were all blocked by his steel-like skin.

In no time, the area around Zhang Qiang’s feet was littered with bullet casings, quickly piling up to his knees.

"Charge in!"

With the bullets attracted by Zhang Qiang, the others could rush in without hesitation. Seeing the bullets being drawn away by one person, the Alliance members immediately ceased firing.

Simultaneously, Bullet King took a deep breath and swiftly deactivated his steel-like skin.

Upon closer inspection, his skin showed patches of redness. Although bullets couldn’t pierce through his body, they still caused a painful impact.

His skin turned as red as if slapped by a hand.

"Go down and stop them!"

Wu Lin commanded from afar. Since all evolved individuals below the fourth rank were dead, only those above remained. These were the most formidable opponents, but their numbers were fewer than a hundred.

"Do any of you dare to come out and face me!"

Just as everyone prepared to charge, a burly man suddenly yelled out from the opposite side.

"What’s the point of a brawl? If you’ve got guts, fight me one-on-one! Whoever loses is the loser!"

Seeing this, Xiao Feng chuckled, "They’re stalling for time, but I want to see what else they’ve got. Who’s up for a fight?"

He turned to those behind him.

"The opponent is a sixth-rank evolved individual, don’t underestimate them!"

Xiao Feng cautioned again.

However, among his followers, only Peng Donglai, the Four Heavenly Kings, and Wang Qiang were capable of fighting. Except for flying, Wang Qiang didn’t have any other abilities.

Poison King was adept at using poison, Stink King likewise. Bullet King couldn’t demonstrate his advantage, while Night King had some combat abilities, but as a fourth-rank evolved individual, he was no match.

"Let me do it!"

Peng Donglai stepped forward, looking at Xiao Feng with eager eyes.

Peng Donglai is a fifth-rank evolved individual and a practitioner of ancient martial arts, attaining the realm of Innate Origin."

However, ancient martial arts and evolutionary abilities represent two distinct systems.

Evolved individuals are graded from first to tenth rank, clearly divided in levels.

Ancient martial artists have five realms: external strength, internal energy, Qi, postnatal, and innate, forming a separate hierarchy.

If one were to make a comparison, even a master of the Innate Origin realm is nearly equivalent to a fifth-rank evolved individual. It’s just that evolved individuals possess a diverse range of abilities, making it difficult to generalize.

However, Peng Donglai is not just a practitioner of ancient martial arts; he’s also an evolved individual.

The combination of ancient martial arts and evolutionary abilities gives him the capability to contend against a sixth-rank evolved individual. Moreover, due to the agility of ancient martial artists, defeating opponents is not an implausible feat.

"It’s you!"

The other party immediately recognized Peng Donglai.

"Weren’t you the one who came with Zhao Tianling from Shelter No. 1? How come you’ve changed allegiance now? Calling you a servant of two masters, isn’t that fitting?"

Hearing this, Peng Donglai became furious.

Drawing his longsword, a mix of sword aura and anger, he struck at the burly man.

"Haha! Watch me hack you with an axe!"

The burly man, dressed in a tattered jacket revealing his chest covered in black hair, wielded two short axes and threw one directly.

Bang!

The sword aura hit the short axe, sending it flying before it landed on the ground.

Boom!

In the next moment, the burly man leaped, his two-hundred-pound body soared more than ten meters and landed where the axe fell.

"Take this from Grandpa!"

Picking up the axe, the burly man threw it at Peng Donglai once again, then charged towards him.

During the sprint, the burly man’s body underwent a sudden change.

His robust body swelled, muscles bulging further, sprouting black fur.

As he sprinted, his posture shifted from bipedal running to a quadrupedal rush.

In a breath, this burly man transformed into a black bear, covered entirely in black fur.

The short axe was in front, Peng Donglai defended with his sword.

After being repelled, the black bear swiftly approached.

Boom!

Its two bear paws fiercely slammed down.

Peng Donglai was greatly astonished and swiftly swung his sword.

Despite the sword aura cutting through, it didn’t sever the bear’s paw.

Although the sword aura neutralized some force, the strike still landed.

With no escape, Peng Donglai roared, "Sword Heart Stance!"

Suddenly, the sword aura protected him, countering some of the force.

However, he was still sent flying by the bear’s paw.

Luckily, he used the Sword Heart Stance; otherwise, he would have been injured.

Slowly rising, Peng Donglai tightened his grip on the longsword.

"Sword Shadow Stance!"

The sword aura entwined around him like the wind.

In the next moment, Peng Donglai’s speed suddenly increased.

"Nine Styles of Heavenly Sword!"

In mid-air, Peng Donglai’s voice echoed.

Shh!

This strike hit the black bear’s back squarely.

Amidst the black fur, a gory wound appeared.

Blood splattered, and the bear howled in agony.

Seeing this, Xiao Feng smiled.

The outcome was determined; this black bear was no match for Peng Donglai.

"Meow!"

While observing the battle, a black cat leaped from somewhere and landed in Xiao Feng’s arms.

"How did you follow me here, little guy!"

Looking at the black cat in his arms, Xiao Feng chuckled.

Since the last time he saved it, the black cat had been staying at the resturant without leaving.

During the recent period, Xiao Feng was busy with business and had little time to care for the black cat, except for feeding it daily.

Unexpectedly, it followed him out today.

The black cat enjoyed Xiao Feng’s caress, comfortably lying in his arms with its eyes half-closed.

However, Xiao Feng was secretly excited.

The sudden appearance of the black cat certainly indicated it had a purpose.

Thinking about the cat’s inherent abilities, Xiao Feng couldn’t help but smile.

This black cat could ward off evil, bring wealth and fortune, bring good luck...

Moreover, it possessed strong attacking capabilities.

Bowing his head, Xiao Feng noticed that the black cat had unexpectedly reached the fourth rank at some point.

Whether active or passive skills, it had gained an additional one.

Ninth Heaven Black Cat: Fourth Rank

Passive Skills: Warding off evil, bringing wealth and fortune, good luck, Hundred Years of Harmony

Active Skills: Sharp Claws and Fangs, Cat’s Life-Saving, Cat Demon Form, Ghostly Eyes
