Chapter 317: We Can Sit Down For A Proper Talk Now

Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

Bei Feng proceeded quickly through the forest. The difficult terrain that was seemingly intraversable to normal people posed no obstruction to him at all.

“Right now, even my normal speed is faster than the speed of sound. If I went all out, I would definitely be able to break through four times the speed of sound. Adding the Grade 8 Celestial Snow Ridge Eagle Wing, it’s not impossible to reach six times the speed of sound!” Bei Feng gasped with astonishment.

In the distance, two groups of people were also running rapidly through the forest, one chasing and the other fleeing.

There were several tens of people in the first group, and all of them were armed to the teeth with armor and rifles.

The group at the back was a team of special forces elites. At this time, they were chasing after the large group of people.

“This country is indeed a country that forbids the presence of mercenaries. We’ve still underestimated them in the end.”

Wilhelm and his group of foreigners had stopped to rest in a small clearing. They had already been running from the group of Chinese elite forces for a full three days, and both sides had sustained numerous casualties.

“Captain, we’ll reach the border in at most half a day. At that time, we’ll be able to leave China,” Peter said in a gruff voice as he examined the map before him.

“Don’t let your guard down yet. Accidents always happen on the precipice of success. We’ve spent too high a price to obtain this thing. Let the buyer know that we’re raising the price!” Wilhelm commanded sternly as he led the rest to continue on their road.

About ten li away, a large group consisting of over a hundred people also set off at the same time. There was no way for the first group to erase all traces on their path. If they were not so hard to deal with and they did not have to care about losses on their side, they would have mobilized their men to swarm over recklessly long ago.

“The mission this time concerns the highest level advanced technology of our country. We must not let them bring the information away!”

Qiu Ye sounded dull and lethargic as he looked at the group of soldiers behind him. It’d been several days since he’d last had a good rest.

Two hours later, Qiu Ye’s group caught up with the group of mercenaries again, and a new round of firefight began!

A series of fierce firing sounds rang out in the forest as the two sides entered into a stalemate.

“Eh? There’s people here?”

Bei Feng raised his head and looked over, his gaze penetrating far into the distance to the forest ahead. Without any hesitation, he rushed over as well.

“Captain, let’s request for support from the armored helicopter! If things continue like this, it’s one thing that more of our brothers’ lives will be lost. But if we delay further, this group of people will be able to escape!” Yu Xiao shouted anxiously.

“Unless we’re left with no other choice, there’s no need to call in the helicopter,” Qiu Ye rejected directly without a second thought. Unless they were really unable to hold the mercenaries back, it was too dangerous to call for the helicopter.

In the condensed environment of the forest, the use of a helicopter was too limited. If it flew too high, it wouldn’t be able to see anything. But if it flew too low, it was easy for it to be shot down by rockets!

At this time, Bei Feng suddenly appeared like a ghost in the no-man’s land in the middle of the two sides. His speed was so fast that no one noticed how or when he’d appeared.

“Chinese?” Bei Feng asked in a cool and calm voice as he stood with his back facing the foreign mercenaries.

“Cease fire!”

“Damn it, who the hell is this, how did he pop out all of a sudden?!”

Qiu Ye’s face turned ugly in an instant as he ordered for a ceasefire.

“A chance! Break that fellow’s legs!”

Wilhelm’s eyes lit up as he signaled something to a sniper nearby.

Wilhelm’s battle strategy in that moment was to encircle the enemy and attack the reinforcements. Those local soldiers seemed unwilling to let this person die. In that case, they definitely intended to save him. In a high-tension rescue operation like this, personnel like snipers would be able to showcase their abilities with their maximum potential!

The marksman proning on a high ground a distance away nodded lightly in understanding as he raised his scope and focused the barrel on Bei Feng’s leg. A sinister smile hung on his face as he squeezed gently down on the trigger!

“Get down!” Qiu Ye hollered as he gestured wildly at the queer fellow in the middle of the clearing. The worst case scenario had happened.

A long bullet spinning shrilly in the air flew towards Bei Feng. In Bei Feng’s eyes, he could even see the slight ripples in the air trailing behind the bullet!

Bei Feng did not move at all, remaining on the spot as though he’d been petrified with fear.

“Ding!”

A jade white hand stretched out from Bei Feng’s robes, coated in a layer of blood and Qi energy. With a light grab, the bullet was easily intercepted. When he opened his palm again, a completely intact bullet fell from his hand, creating a soft sound as it landed on the rocky ground.

“Eh? It missed?”

Wilhelm looked up at the marksman with unmasked displeasure. It was such a short distance, and the target was completely unmoving, practically a sitting duck. Yet, he managed to miss a shot like that?

Furthermore, the marksman seemed to be quivering with fear, and his face was marked with terror!

“He stopped my bullet with his bare hands!”

The marksman had been watching Bei Feng through his scope the entire time. He clearly saw the other party wave his hand through the air—a long bullet suddenly appeared in between his fingers!

“Are you kidding me? Shoot again!”

Wilhelm nearly spurted out a mouthful of blood in rage. To think that the useless fellow was still able to find excuses to argue with him!

Qiu Ye also finally reacted at this time. Although he didn’t know how the other party had managed to avoid getting hit by the bullet, he still sent a person to pull Bei Feng to safety immediately.

A Chinese soldier rushed forward and hollered at Bei Feng, “What are you still dazing out for? Get down!”

He was not the least bit polite to Bei Feng at all. The sudden appearance of this fellow meant that they would lose a great number of brothers just to save him!

At this moment, another bullet was flying towards the completely expressionless Bei Feng.

Bei Feng reached out another hand with a zombie-like expression and caught the bullet, tossing it casually aside.

“I hate it when people point their guns at me,” Bei Feng mumbled with displeasure. With a powerful leap, he sprang towards the mercenary group like a cannon, instantly traversing over 300 meters to reach right in the middle of the entire group!

The group of Chinese elite force soldiers were left staring dumbly at the huge three, four meter pit left on the ground by that one jump.

In the forest not far away, a series of gunfire and desperate cries rang out, intensifying as time passed. But in just one minute, all the noises had stopped.

“Don’t come any closer! You’re a demon! A demon!”

Wilhelm’s hands were shaking as he pointed his revolver at the white-haired demon before him.

Wilhelm was on the verge of insanity. In his eyes, this person was a real devil, fresh out of hell. A single person was actually able to kill an entire group of well-trained armed mercenary soldiers by himself!

Bullets were completely useless against this person, and even bazooka rockets were blasted through with brute force. Could such a person still be considered a human?

Bei Feng was completely unfazed by the black muzzle pointed at his face. A silver black dagger flashed past, and Wilhelm’s outstretched arm suddenly slackened as his hand was instantly detached from the wrist, with his revolver still held tightly in that decapitated hand!

“AH!”

Wilhlem held his stump of an arm and rolled pitifully on the ground as he hollered in pain.

Bei Feng did not seem to mind the gory scene. With a simple grabbing motion, he lifted Wilhelm’s body up like a frail chicken and headed out of the forest nonchalantly.

Bei Feng threw the pale faced Wilhem to the Chinese soldiers and said, “The annoying people are dealt with. Come, we can sit down for a proper talk now.”

Qiu Ye gave Bei Feng a respectful military salute and asked, “Sir is a martial practitioner?”

At the same time, he sent two men to assess the situation on the other side.

“Right. Where is this? And what’s the current year and month?” Bei Feng enquired.

“This is the Guangnan County, and it’s July of the year 2013 right now.”

Qiu Ye felt a little mystified by the questions, but he still answered honestly.

‘Hm? It’s actually been three years!’

Bei Feng had not expected such an answer. He’d only been in the Myriad World for a single year, but three years had passed on Earth!

‘Is it because the two worlds are in different spaces? In that case, how much time does this count as in my lifespan? Was it three year or one?’

Bei Feng fell into deep thought. If only one year had passed in his real life, that still would have been fine. Otherwise, if he went to another world next time where the time difference was too great, wouldn’t he age and die instantly the moment he returned to Earth?!
