Chapter 259: Duel with the Elders

An old man’s face is something that Wen Xishu is quite afraid of.

There is a saying in this world that babies are always alike, and old people are always alike.

When Wen Xishu saw that face, his first reaction was surprise and familiarity, but in the end, that face froze on a person he was more familiar with.

One of the five elders, Luo Feng.

Indeed, Wen Xishu was very sure of one thing: it was hard to say whether he could surpass Albert in the future, but he could definitely surpass the five elders.

But that still requires time. At this moment, in the Weird Tower Academy, when the Wen Xi Tree, which had transformed into a group of water plants or bandages, caught the assassin in front of him—

The assassin no longer looked like Na Gu, the third-year senior at Luta Academy.

Instead, it was a powerful figure hidden in the Slaughter Tower Ladder List—one of the five elders, Luo Feng.

Mr. Jin's earliest servant now became the one who attacked Wen Xishu. At this moment, Wen Xishu thought of a lot.

Mr. Jin is not here, and Liu Zhizai is not here. The William family should not be able to attack me recently. If I have to choose two of the five elders to kill me...

Maybe Matthew Jones and Luo Feng are really possible.

But why?

Aren’t you afraid that Albert will vent his anger on you?

Or, what does it mean that both the old principal and Mr. Jin have entered the Slaughter Tower?
The Slaughter Tower is a big world, which is fundamentally different from the Weird Tower. In the Weird Tower, it can be said that different levels and different tasks are all in different time.

But Luta is not.

As soon as Mr. Jin left, he was assassinated by the five elders. This was too outrageous.

A lot of information flashed through Wen Xishu's mind, but Wen Xishu still couldn't find a reasonable explanation.

Luo Feng's strength was amazing. Even though Wen Xishu's body was extremely abstract and indescribable at this moment, Luo Feng could still sense his breath.

Although his body had been mutated and had almost no vital parts, Luo Feng seemed to feel where the body was most vulnerable.

As one of the five elders, he seems to be able to see through his opponent's weaknesses.

Luo Feng's hand instantly performed a gesture similar to the "Guan Shou" in karate and attacked a black bandage.

At this moment, the black bandages all turned bright red, as if they were stained with blood.

Wen Xishu only felt a powerful force coming towards him.

Can't beat it.

The thought suddenly popped up in his mind that he was no match for the five elders.

We have to escape from here and head to the Memoir Facility.

The bandage quickly blossomed like a blooming lotus, and then contracted in an instant.

Luo Feng's body was restrained in an instant.

Since Wen Xishu was severely injured and was in a low health state at the moment, his sequence rune, a gift from Sirius - the Earth Marsh Trapped Beast began to provide "geographical advantage" for Wen Xishu.

Soon, a strange rule emerged, and creatures in human form would feel high multiples of gravity.

Creatures that are not in human form will not be affected.

This rule may not seem very strong, but it actually saved Wen Xishu's life.

Luo Feng's body forcefully broke free from the bandages, and the terrifying force caused the bandages to break instantly. But the next second, just as Luo Feng was about to seize the opportunity to pursue and kill Wen Xishu who was trying to escape with his terrifying force...

He suddenly realized that his speed had slowed down.

Some of the bandages that did not participate in restraining Luo Feng and tried to escape quickly fled towards the book-like building facilities like a rapidly winding snake.

"Don't even think about escaping!"

Luo Feng is worthy of being one of the five elders. Despite withstanding the gravity that is several times greater, his speed is still very fast. For a moment, Wen Xishu, whose body has been mutated, still cannot outrun Luo Feng.

But Wen Xishu was not panicked. Although he was seriously injured, he was not a complete lamb to be slaughtered.

The cooldown time for Perfect Parry is very short, only twelve seconds.

As Luo Feng's speed slowed down, Wen Xishu was finally able to react. When Luo Feng approached him, a powerful punch attacked him again!
Wen Xishu captured this attack perfectly!
It was a perfect deflection, perfectly bouncing back Luo Feng's attack.

Luo Feng spat out a mouthful of blood.

He really didn't expect that this body, as flexible as a bandage, would feel like a thorn shield.

This time Luo Feng was afraid of the consequences, but Wen Xishu did not waste any time and escaped for his life!
As long as you escape to the facility and recall it, you will find help.

Luo Feng seemed to be aware of this as well. Blood was oozing from the corner of his mouth. It was obvious that the attack he had just made was an all-out attack intended to kill him in one blow.

But unexpectedly, just that gap of 0.25 seconds could be perfectly captured by Wen Xishu.

This guy is really hard to kill!

Luo Feng put his hands together, preparing to launch a series of attacks.

Not long ago, as the bandage-like body was shattered by Luo Feng, Wen Xishu's blood line dropped further, and the trapped beast in Di Ze began to gain new advantages.

A chaotic maze.

Simply put, people in the maze will have their perception disturbed. They feel like they are running forward, but the direction is actually the opposite.

Luo Feng suddenly accelerated, but suddenly widened the distance between him and Wen Xishu.

Wen Xishu was not affected by the chaotic maze because of the "geographical advantage".

He finally escaped into the facility.

When the body entered the facility, and summoned all the monsters including Tang Rui, the shoe girl, Jack...

Wen Xishu finally felt safe.

"Damn it, people really can't feel too happy, or they will be punished immediately!"

Once inside the facility, the death battle was over.

Wen Xishu's body also stopped mutating and began to turn into a human form. He fell in a corner with obvious blood at the corners of his mouth.

Outside the facility, Luo Feng looked for a while but ultimately did not go in.

"Like that guy, hiding in a facility? Do you think you can hide forever? He hid for decades, can you do the same?"

Luo Feng left.

But the sense of crisis he brings will linger for a long time.

……

The dean of the Strange Tower Academy of the Three Towers Academy, the new legend of the bunker, the leader of the Xishu Cult, the number one on the Strange Tower Ladder List, the Great Devouring Savior - Wen Xishu was assassinated.

The news was so explosive that it quickly spread throughout the bunker.

Yuan Ling was the first to come into contact with Wen Xishu after stabbing himself.

Soon, the academy spirit contacted Jabbar and requested martial law throughout the school, and explicitly stated that the five elders were not allowed to enter.

This request also caused all those who knew about it to speculate. Of course, since the matter involved the five elders, no student dared to criticize it. Everyone just discussed whether Dean Wen was injured.

Soon after, although the Three Towers Academy was under martial law and the five elders were not allowed to enter, Evelin still entered the academy easily and eventually came into contact with Wen Xishu.

Evelyn came, but soon Evelyn left.

……

Fourteenth floor of the bunker.

Luo family.

William Gordon, Matthew Jones, and Evelyn have all arrived at the Luo family's backyard.

William Gordon says:

"Why would you do such a thing? Lao Luo, don't you think this is too stupid!"

"Zhi Zai can let go of personal grudges, but you can't?" In fact, neither William nor Matthew showed any anger, only Evelin's face was livid. But Evelin felt that this was not in line with Luo Feng's behavior.

In fact, William Gordon also found it strange.

Luo Feng smiled bitterly:

"You all know the boy's qualifications. If you want to kill him, you should do it before Albert notices him. How could I possibly get into trouble now?"

"Even Mr. Jin likes him. For a person like him... I will only win him over and repair the relationship with him in the future. Why would I want to assassinate him?"

The head of the Luo family, one of the six major families, also said:

"Dear elders, the old man has not gone anywhere today. He has been praying for Mr. Jin, hoping that he can return safely."

"I don't know why Santa Academy would say something like this, but I can guarantee that our Luo family has no hostility towards Dean Wen."

Evelyn says:
"Luo Feng, tell me the truth, did you do it? You know, Albert's anger is hard to bear. I am the only one who can help you."

Luo Feng sighed:

"I can't do such a stupid thing."

Matthew Jones and William Gordon looked at each other. They had been together for decades and actually knew each other very well.

William Gordon is a businessman, and businessmen have their own way of thinking. Things that are harmful but not beneficial... he really can't think of any reason why Lao Luo did this.

Evelyn says:
"Xiao Shu told me that when you were plotting against him, you used the Guan Shou technique. That is indeed your style. And as Xiao Shu is the number one person in the Weird Tower, he has many strange tricks. If it weren't for us..."

"Humph, I really don't believe that anyone can hurt him."

In fact, William Gordon was very surprised by this. After all, in his opinion, if it was Lao Luo who took action, Wen Xishu should not have survived.

Assuming that it was Lao Luo, then William Gordon would have to say - Wen Xishu is indeed a good man.

Luo Feng's expression was very solemn:

"Mr. Jin said that when he leaves the bunker, some strange things will happen. Guys, we have known each other for decades. I don't want to explain whether it was me or not, and you shouldn't ask such questions."

"I just need you to think of one thing."

"If it wasn't me, and the other party was able to hurt Wen Xishu, then the other party's strength might have surpassed the ninetieth level."

"Besides, the opponent used a move that I am familiar with...his fighting style is the same as mine."

"It's scary, isn't it? What if he can imitate more than just me?"

Luo Feng was indeed very confident that he did not do this, so he could skip some steps and directly think about other parts.

After he finished speaking, the other elders also looked solemn.

A person whose strength, skills, fighting style, appearance... are all the same as the five elders?
Luo Feng said:

"We are in high positions and have always been at the pinnacle of power. Over the years, we have only very rarely taken action in the bunker."

"But even so, this person still imitated me."

"If he has this ability, can he imitate you?"

Several elders fell silent.

Luo Feng said after a while:

"I follow Mr. King because he keeps me alive."

"I will repay his kindness, but I will not put myself in a deadly situation. Kill Wen Xishu? In the eyes of that madman Albert, can I compare with Wen Xishu?"

At this time, Evelyn also said:

"In fact, Xiaoshu also speculated that it wasn't you."

Luo Feng was obviously relieved, but of course he pretended not to care. He didn't want to admit that he was no longer as important as a young man.

He also didn't want to admit... that this young man could decide his life or death.

If Wen Xishu really insisted that he was the one who went for the assassination, God knows what that madman Albert would do.

"He is a smart young man." Luo praised expressionlessly.

Evelyn says:
"In the beginning, the person who assassinated him was a student. He was a third-year student at Luta Academy and was very good at aiming. This student's sequence was also the kind of long-range combat."

"But Xiao Shu is indeed very... weird. His body transformed into something indescribable, like water plants. It actually stretched out from Weird Tower Academy, grabbed the student, and brought him right to him."

Luo Feng, William, and Matthew were all stunned.

That scene had already appeared in the minds of the three people. It was indeed an extremely strange scene.

"Then, the assassin changed from a student to someone like you, Lao Luo. According to Xiaoshu, his strength and speed were significantly improved, but with many other tricks, Xiaoshu finally escaped."

There was another moment of silence.

After a while, Luo Feng said:

"We didn't even know... that there was such a person in the bunker."

Matthew Jones says:

"I suddenly felt very scared."

Evelyn was not afraid:
"I know what you are afraid of, but at least here, the you who I meet are all real you."

Evelyn is a super strong person on the ninetieth floor of the Desire Tower. She is confident that no matter who it is, if someone pretends to be her friend in front of her, and has been friends with her for decades, she will see through it.

But Matthew, William, Luo Feng... don't have Evelyn's ability.

"Think back over the past few decades, have your old friends ever behaved abnormally?" said Matthew Jones.

Luo Feng shook his head:

"I don't think this is the point we should discuss now. The past cannot be changed. We will find the assassin next, right?"

"We must give Wen Xishu an explanation."

It was a bit strange to hear these words coming from the mouths of the five elders. As the five elders, they also needed to give an explanation to the young people.

But William Gordon was the first to agree:
"Yes, I also don't want someone who can imitate you, Lao Luo, living in a bunker. What's more, there is a possibility that he can imitate us."

Luo Feng still shook his head:

"I'm just curious, if there really is such a person, what is his purpose?"

"Why didn't he kill Albert? Why didn't he assassinate us? And why did he assassinate Wen Xishu?"

"We can be sure that none of us, not even Albert, knew there was such a person in the bunker before this incident happened."

"Did he show up now? Or did he show up a long time ago?"

"He can imitate my fighting habits. Is it from ability or observation? If it is from observation, I haven't fought for a long time. Does this mean that he appeared a long time ago?"

"If he appeared a long time ago, he endured for decades and did nothing, just to... kill Wen Xishu? Why is that?"

Luo Feng’s series of questions are indeed the key.

But no one could answer.

These questions can only be answered after the murderer is caught. Of course, the question of why Albert was not assassinated seems to be easy to answer - he cannot be killed.

Luo Feng also had some guesses of his own.

"I suddenly feel very worried."

William Gordon was puzzled:

"What are you worried about? About yourself?"

Luo Feng shook his head:

"I'm worried about...Mr. Jin."

Luo Feng sighed. He was already very old, and at this moment he seemed to be ten years older.

"Mr. Jin, did something bad happen to him?"
