Chapter 1755: The Li Family's Desperate Situation

"That is..."

"What the hell is that??"

The three had never seen such a bizarre scene in their lives. As the scarlet lights approached like living things, they felt their hair stand on end.

When the streetlight closest to the power plant also turned scarlet amidst the faint sound of electricity, the group was so nervous that even their breathing stopped...

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

"Should... just be that the lights on this road are broken?" the second one said tentatively.

The leader frowned and was about to say something when, the next moment, a faint sound of a circuit breaker tripping came from overhead!

Snap—!

As the pupils of the three shrank, all the lights in the power plant went out at the same time.

Deep darkness enveloped the earth, making one feel as if they were in a deadly haze. Before they could react, the dense light bulbs in the power plant lit up again...

A bizarre scarlet instantly filled the entire factory!

At this moment, the hearts of the three were about to jump out of their chests. The situation was so bizarre that even if they were stupid, they wouldn't think it was a natural phenomenon. The leader immediately shouted:

"Watch out! We might have been targeted!"

As his voice fell.

A loud bang came from the power plant gate!

Boom—!!

The sturdy metal gate instantly twisted and deformed, as if torn by some immense force, and then flew backward out of the door frame entirely...

A charred figure, like a demon walking out of a fiery hell, walked into the power plant accompanied by swirling, scalding heat.

At the same time, the bizarre scarlet lights in the factory began to flicker wildly, as if cheering for his arrival.

The moment Li Shangfeng stepped into the factory, he saw the blood-stained sack. In an instant, a surge of blood rushed to his head, and his eyes turned red as blood!!

"Who the hell are you guys?!"

"What did we siblings ever do to offend you!!"

The three didn't know Li Shangfeng's background, so they remained on high alert. The leader said in a deep voice:

"We're just doing a job for money, it's only natural... We have no grudge against you siblings. If you want to blame someone, blame yourselves for provoking people you shouldn't have."

People he shouldn't have provoked?

In an instant, numerous thoughts flashed through Li Shangfeng's mind. He finally seemed to realize something and roared in anger:

"The Grand Historian's Office?!! Brand sent you here!!"

The three naturally couldn't answer his question. After exchanging glances, they reached a tacit understanding. The second one stepped back silently, the leader stepped forward, and the third stood in the middle, lifting his fingers slightly. Strands of fine, sand-like seeds fell from his sleeves and burrowed into the factory floor...

At this moment, Li Shangfeng felt as if his chest was about to explode. He roared, his hands instantly turning into two gruesome mechanical saw-blades, and he charged toward the three while emitting a teeth-grinding buzz!

Feeling the aura coming from Li Shangfeng, the leader, who had been on high alert, couldn't help but laugh out loud:

"Looking at this display, I thought some expert had come, but it's just a Tier 2 Skillful God Path..."

"Really... playing god."

The leader couldn't even be bothered to move; he clenched his right hand and swung it forward...

In an instant, the surrounding air converged under the influence of the Strength God Path, and a giant's fist with a diameter of three meters roared, breaking through the air and smashing toward Li Shangfeng!

Compared to this giant's fist, Li Shangfeng's figure, wielding two mechanical saw-blades, looked as weak as a hard-shelled mouse. The latter roared and used all his strength to swing his two saw-blade arms against the fist. A burst of metal-shattering sounds erupted from the void!

Clang—!!

Li Shangfeng's mechanical hands instantly twisted and exploded, and countless tiny parts clattered all over the floor. He was like a kite with a broken string, slamming heavily against the factory wall.

A mouthful of scarlet blood sprayed from his mouth.

But the three didn't seem to intend to let him go just like that. The leader said indifferently:

"Third."

The third one was already prepared. He raised his hand and waved at Li Shangfeng, who was embedded in the wall by the punch. Three thick, bizarre purple leaves burst out from the concrete floor, like the tentacles of a deep-sea octopus, tightly wrapping around his body.

As the purple leaves tightened, Li Shangfeng's body was forcibly pried from the wall and hung in mid-air, like a penitent nailed to a cross.

Li Shangfeng, already seriously injured, tried to use brute force to break free from the restraint of these purple leaves, but no matter how hard he tried, the leaves only tightened further, so tight that he couldn't even breathe, and could only make painful whimpering sounds.

"Oh no..."

"I said it before, the gap in their strength is too big. If this goes on, both siblings will die here!"

"It's so frustrating! Can we really do nothing at all?!"

“……”

Above the power plant, a series of illusory figures were already pacing back and forth in anxiety.

Just then, several more illusory figures arrived rapidly from afar. Everyone turned to look; it was the J-rank and Q-rank members.

After Bai Ye and the others parted ways with Chen Ling, they rushed here immediately. Seeing Li Shangfeng, who was covered in bruises below, their expressions turned extremely grave.

After hearing the current situation, the Jack of Diamonds frowned:

"Lord Red King said that fate would stand on our side..."

"Since Lord Red King dared to let us come help him, he must have made preparations in advance. But where exactly is our breakthrough?" The Jack of Spades also fell into deep thought.

While everyone else was anxious, Bai Ye stood alone to the side, looking at the power plant before him, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"Ghosts... magnetic fields... electricity..."

"So that's it."

At this moment, everyone's gaze fell on Bai Ye.

Bai Ye lightly pressed the brim of his duckbill cap, a pair of silver snake-shaped earrings swaying silently... He pointed at the power generation equipment crouching in the night like a steel beast and spoke slowly,

"This power plant..."

"Is the 'fate' the Red King prepared for us."

……

"Go easy on him, Third."

Inside the scarlet factory, the leader said slowly, "They want him alive. If he dies here, it'll be hard for us to report back."

Hearing this, the third one slightly relaxed the purple leaves that were digging deep into Li Shangfeng's neck, at least giving him room to breathe.

However, it was this brief relaxation that Li Shangfeng seized as an opportunity. Several sharp, spinning gears popped out from his shattered, jagged arms, suddenly cutting through the purple leaves binding him. One of them even grazed his neck, lightly slicing through the last purple leaf as well.

He fell to the ground with a thud, but without a moment to catch his breath, he sprang up again like a dark beast, roaring as he charged toward the three!

Seeing this, the leader sneered, "Seeking death..."

Just as he was about to swing his fist again,

A flash of electric arc silently streaked through the void!
