Chapter 157: An Existence Beyond the War God

“Luofeng! Luofeng!” The savage giant, Kaita, kept shouting the awkward Chinese words without stopping.

Swoosh!

Luofeng was surprised and immediately halted, standing beside him, watching with interest the famous giant bear, Kaita. “You’re not running away?”

Kaita gave a helpless smile, speaking in broken Chinese: “Luofeng, my strength is not as good as yours. I… I admit defeat! I… I will give you all the Caomu Ling I obtained!”

“Tsk tsk.” Luofeng smiled in surprise.

This giant bear Kaita was interesting!

Inside, Kaita was bitterly laughing. Earlier, when he had communicated with Huamo Katelan, he had already learned that Luofeng was now a high-level peak mentalist, a “peerless war god.” A cultivator of this level… in any region of Earth, a single word from him would shake an entire area.

To kill him, Kaita?

Six flying daggers could reduce the giant bear Kaita to mud; Kaita certainly did not have the Black God Suit.

“Good. I know you have two Caomu Ling in your backpack. Hand them over,” Luofeng said with a smile. “I won’t kill you.”

“Okay.” Kaita was not surprised at all that Luofeng knew the number of Caomu Ling he possessed.

With a sweep of his mental energy, Luofeng could easily detect all the treasures on Kaita’s body.

“Take it.” Kaita took out two thousand-year-old willow cores and threw them directly at Luofeng.

“Good.” Luofeng smiled, using his mental energy to collect the two thousand-year-old willow cores, placing them together with the previous ten-thousand-year-old willow core into the inner pocket of his combat suit.

Kaita smiled slightly: “Then I’ll leave first. When you come to Europe, feel free to contact me. Next time in the War God Palace of the virtual space, we should have a good drink together.” Having said that, Kaita rapidly departed.

“Very enthusiastic?” Luofeng chuckled in amusement.

“The War God Palace in the virtual space?” Luofeng was well aware… nowadays on Earth, anyone who obtained the title of War God would join the War God Palace. This War God Palace had originally been established by powerful figures like Hong and Thunder God. Now it turned out that the War God Palace was located in the virtual space.

…

The wise Kaita handed over the two thousand-year-old willow cores, and Luofeng was in a very good mood.

Above the Fog Island.

Luofeng stood on his shield two hundred meters high in the air, overlooking the entire Fog Island, while spreading his mental energy to search for Li Yao.

“Li Yao is hiding really cautiously, not making any sound, and I can’t even find him with my mental energy.” Luofeng frowned in midair, feeling helpless.

Suddenly—

“Hmm?” Luofeng turned his head.

In the distance, a crimson streak of light rapidly flew from the horizon, like a meteor. In this dark night, this crimson streak of light was very noticeable.

Swoosh!

The crimson streak stopped in front of Luofeng, revealing a white man with curly brown hair wearing a combat suit. The white man hovered in midair, the space around him seemingly slightly distorted. His body radiated ripples of flame. The man in the flames looked at Luofeng and spoke in English: “Who are you?”

Luofeng was secretly alarmed.

Flames surrounding his body? Flying in midair? This was definitely a being surpassing the War God!

“I am Luofeng, from the Limit Dojo.” Luofeng slightly bowed in respect while standing on his shield in midair.

“Luofeng?” The man in flames nodded slightly, then suddenly let out a low shout, “Katelan, you four come out!” His deep voice quickly spread downward, covering the entire Fog Island.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Immediately, a series of explosive sounds echoed across the Fog Island. Soon, Luofeng’s mental energy detected four people gathering below—Huamo Katelan, Vulture Li Yao, Blood Shadow Ivan, and Giant Bear Kaita.

“Councillor Farr!”

“Councillor Farr!”

The four below respectfully saluted. Looking at the flame-enshrouded cultivator high in the night sky, Huamo Katelan and others were astonished… Since Luofeng had seized the ten-thousand-year-old willow core, Huamo Katelan had immediately notified his master! His master contacted several cultivators surpassing the War God level!

But they hadn’t expected…

The cultivators arrived so quickly.

“I was just meditating in Australia when my master informed me, so I came here immediately,” said Councillor Farr, the flame-enshrouded figure, with a smile. “How are the Caomu Ling collection efforts going?”

“Councillor Farr.”

Li Yao shouted in English nearby, “The most precious ten-thousand-year-old willow core we discovered was stolen by this Luofeng. He also took three other thousand-year-old willow cores!”

…

In the night sky, Luofeng, standing on his shield and hovering midair, changed expression slightly.

“Luofeng.” Councillor Farr looked at Luofeng, his gaze turning icy. “Hand over the ten-thousand-year-old willow core and the three thousand-year-old willow cores.”

Swoosh!

Luofeng turned and fled immediately!

“Want to escape?” Councillor Farr instantly transformed into a crimson streak of light chasing after him. Although Councillor Farr was a cultivator surpassing the War God, all War Gods and cultivators beyond that level on Earth were members of the War God Palace! The War God Palace had rules: cultivators beyond the War God level were forbidden from killing War Gods without sufficient reason.

Moreover, Luofeng was from the Limit Dojo!

In the world, those cultivators surpassing the War God level dared not provoke the Limit Dojo lightly. Although they wouldn’t kill him, the ten-thousand-year-old willow core… Councillor Farr definitely wanted to obtain it.

“Hmm?”

Councillor Farr, enveloped in flames, changed expression slightly, then increased his speed significantly. However, the distance between him and Luofeng not only failed to decrease but instead grew wider.

“It’s really like this!”

Luofeng, standing on his shield and flying at high speed, looked back with a smile. “Councillor Farr’s flying speed indeed isn’t as fast as mine! Earlier when he flew over, I felt his flying speed was about half of my maximum speed. Now, even when he accelerates, he’s still significantly slower than me.”

…

Boom!

Councillor Farr, his body surrounded by flames, rapidly descended onto the Fog Island. Li Yao and the others nearby were secretly astonished… It seemed that Councillor Farr had failed to catch Luofeng.

“Quickly, we’ll split up and rapidly collect the Caomu Ling. If you encounter any you can’t handle, notify me immediately,” Councillor Farr ordered.

“Yes.”

Katelan and the others immediately rushed into the depths of the Fog Island.

While running, Li Yao couldn’t help but ask: “Katelan, why couldn’t Councillor Farr catch up with Luofeng?”

“Beings surpassing the War God level are much stronger than War Gods,” Katelan said in a low voice. “However… in midair, there’s no leverage! If running on the ground, stepping on the earth to dash forward, their speed is terrifying. As for flying… although cultivators beyond the War God level can fly, their flying speed is much slower compared to their ground speed.”

Li Yao, Kaita, and Ivan all suddenly understood.

In fact, when Luofeng first stole the thousand-year-old willow core, Katelan had already mentioned… even cultivators surpassing the War God level dared not claim confidently that they could kill a high-level peak War God mentalist in underground environments.

Indeed—

Cultivators surpassing the War God level were indeed very powerful. However, their power was not without reason!

On land, they could instantly capture Luofeng.

But in the air? Their powerful leg strength couldn’t be exerted, relying only on special abilities to fly. Although this flight was fast, faster than most mentalists, compared to a “high-level peak War God mentalist,” it was actually slightly inferior.

…

Luofeng returned, hovering three to four hundred meters above the Fog Island, spreading his mental energy.

Boom!

Suddenly, the air vibrated. A purplish-red streak of light almost instantly stopped above Luofeng. It was a purplish-red triangular fighter jet. In terms of appearance, this streamlined triangular fighter jet was almost identical to the one Hong had previously ridden, except for the color difference.

“Clang!” The hatch automatically opened.

Two figures flew out, and the fighter jet automatically closed its hatch, hovering in midair.

“My Limit Dojo’s fighter jet,” Luofeng showed a trace of joy.

“You are Luofeng?”

The two figures hovered beside Luofeng. One had long, flowing hair and always wore a slight smile, giving an impression of a gentle breeze bringing calmness. The other man hovering beside him was as cold and still as a mountain, wearing a golden mask on his face.

“Greetings, two Inspectors,” Luofeng immediately bowed.

“How is the situation below?” asked the Inspector Liu beside him.

Luofeng quickly replied: “Inspector, an existence surpassing the War God from the HR Alliance—Councillor Farr—just arrived a few minutes ago. As for the willow cores… there are nine thousand-year-old willow cores and one ten-thousand-year-old willow core. Six thousand-year-old willow cores were obtained by them. I had previously consumed one thousand-year-old willow core, and obtained two thousand-year-old willow cores and one ten-thousand-year-old willow core.”

Inspector Liu showed a slight smile, nodding slightly: “A ten-thousand-year-old willow core? Excellent!”

Boom!

At this moment, a crimson streak of light flew upward from below—it was indeed Councillor Farr.

“Inspector Liu.” Farr looked at Inspector Liu, and upon seeing the golden-masked man beside him, showed a trace of surprise.

“Councillor Farr, all the Caomu Ling on the entire Fog Island… belong to my Limit Dojo. Do you have any objections?” Inspector Liu said calmly.

Farr’s flames suddenly surged, and he angrily said: “Inspector Liu, don’t push too hard! This Fog Island was discovered by us first…”

“It wasn’t you who discovered it first; it was me who discovered it first,” Luofeng interrupted. “You can have Katelan, Li Yao, and others testify.” Indeed, Luofeng was the first to arrive at the Fog Island. Then he intentionally activated his communication watch to attract Li Yao. If not for Li Yao’s arrival, Luofeng wouldn’t have recognized those treasures.

“Haha, did you hear that?” Inspector Liu smiled. “It was our person who discovered it first.”

“Hmph.” Councillor Farr sneered, “This Fog Island has no owner. Why should it belong to your Limit Dojo? If you have the ability, let’s all compete fairly. Whoever captures the Caomu Ling gets to keep it!”

After hearing this, Inspector Liu smiled at Councillor Farr, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded: “I agree.”

Councillor Farr was stunned…

Luofeng was also surprised. He knew that the entire Fog Island was filled with dense fog, making it impossible to see clearly. Moreover, the Caomu Ling was something that even when right in front of you, you might not recognize. Whoever captured more would keep it? Why would Inspector Liu agree to such a condition?

“It’s up to you now.” Inspector Liu looked at the golden-masked man beside him.
