The Magnificent Son-in-law

Chapter 206: The Strongest Opponent


Jiangxin Bridge, located at the intersection of Jiangcheng City and Xinwen City, is considered a relatively iconic structure.

Song Keren has a deep impression of this location because she twisted her ankle on the bridge not long ago, and later was carried to the hospital by Xiao Feng.

The Demon Suppression Action Team quickly found the USB drive under the bridge, following the coordinates given by Sweet.

When the news reached the secret base in the outskirts, everyone was inexplicably excited, and Xiao Feng's image became even more enigmatic.

"Sister Ying," someone cautiously asked, "Is the one who successfully got Sweet to talk our new member?"

In fact, although the Demon Suppression Action Team seems to have many members, each of them appearing extraordinary, the core team is small, with most people supporting and cooperating with the core members.

However, neither Li Ying nor Gong Kaishan, not even Qian Shaoyuan, treated others as subordinates, but rather as part of a whole, with just different roles.

Like a precision instrument, where parts have varying values, but regardless of their value, each is indispensable, and missing one could cause problems.

Li Ying did not hide it and said truthfully, "The boss asked Gong Kaishan to invite him to join us, but he refused both times."

"What?!" The questioner was incredulous, "Doesn't he know how many people would break their heads to join our action team? And he chose to refuse?"

"You can't say it like that." Li Ying shook her head, "Haven't you heard the saying that each has his pursuit and cannot be forced? Everyone has their own idea, and naturally, there's someone unwilling to join when others consider it an honor."

The questioner shrugged, obviously unable to understand this explanation.

At this moment, Xiao Feng walked over, "Did you get the stuff?"

"Got it." Li Ying stood up and replied, "Once Qian Shaoyuan copies the contents, this mission will come to an end."

Xiao Feng smiled, "Nothing else, right? If there's nothing else, can I leave?"

Li Ying was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting Xiao Feng to want to leave so soon, but she nodded, "Of course, I'll see you out."

The two walked toward the surface side by side. Li Ying nudged Xiao Feng beside her, "I didn't expect you'd really make it. You didn't see how stubborn Sweet was before. The negotiation team sent five people, but they still couldn't make him talk."

Xiao Feng said calmly, "You need to find the right cure for this kind. Sweet knew you wanted his research report, so he had nothing to fear. So I just acted like I didn't care about those things, rendering what he relied on ineffective. The problem naturally solved itself."

"No matter what, you did a great job this time." Li Ying said seriously, "When the boss comes in a few days, I'll make sure you get a commendation."

After leaving the basement, Xiao Feng stretched lazily, seemingly uninterested in so-called merits.

The problem had been solved, so naturally, the rest had nothing to do with him. Moreover, with Xiao Feng as a demonstration, the members of the Demon Suppression Action Team naturally knew how to get the other experts to talk.

Outside the villa, Xiao Feng looked up at the night sky. There weren't many stars, but the moon was particularly bright.

This kind of moonlit night was something Xiao Feng liked, at least walking at night without streetlights, it wasn't entirely impossible to see anything.

"Are you going back to the hospital?" Li Ying walked out and asked.

"Hmm."

"Then I'll drive you."

"Hmm."

Li Ying found it strange, feeling like Xiao Feng suddenly changed and became completely different from usual, but couldn't pinpoint exactly what was different.

After pondering over it, Li Ying could only explain it as her contact time with Xiao Feng was still too short to fully understand him.

Actually, this phenomenon is very simple, like some comedy masters who can make the audience laugh heartily on stage, but off stage, they are very quiet, showing a side unknown to others.

Li Ying turned the car around and found that Xiao Feng hadn't followed. Just as she was about to open the car window to call him over, she felt a pain in her neck, and then everything went black as she fainted in the driver's seat...

Xiao Feng watched as the vehicle turned off. The rear door opened, and a person wearing a black coat with a hood got out, and calmly said, "Are you the leader of the Demon Suppression Action Team?"

The person in black faced Xiao Feng, "I'm not only the head of the Demon Suppression Action Team but also have another identity."

This person's voice was very neutral; it could be a man's, but saying it's a woman's wouldn't be wrong either. The coat was wide, even a bit bulky, making it impossible to judge gender based on the body figure.

This left Xiao Feng somewhat speechless; were all the Demon Suppression Action Team members like Dongfang Bubai, androgynous?

First, there was Li Ying, who appeared very beautiful but had a man's temperament. Now, a mysterious leader appeared.

After a brief silence, Xiao Feng decided not to get hung up on the gender issue and asked with interest, "What is your other identity?"

"Defeat me to prove you deserve to know." The person in black said coldly, his speaking style concise, unwilling to say an extra word.

Xiao Feng frowned slightly, dissatisfied, "Then don't say it. I don't want to know."

But the person in black didn't intend to let it go. He coldly snorted, "If you don't win, this land will become your burial ground!"

With that, a curved blade emerged from his wide sleeves.

The person in black grabbed the handle, the side of the blade, moonlight shining on it, refracted into Xiao Feng's eyes.

Xiao Feng left his spot unceasingly. Once the blindness feeling faded, he immediately saw the white blade light coming straight at him, giving him no time to catch his breath.

"You're freaking crazy!" Xiao Feng cursed while drawing out a dagger to defend himself.

In Xiao Feng's view, this person in black, who would attack him without a word, was definitely crazy, and seriously so.

But since the other party attacked first, he could only respond, he couldn't just stand there and let the other cut him down.

"Clang!"

The curved blade in the person's hand clashed with the dagger in Xiao Feng's hand.

Xiao Feng's pupils suddenly contracted because the collision made his hand go numb.

This indicated that the strength of the person in black was comparable to his own.

Although Xiao Feng wasn't known for his strength, he was confident that he could beat elite fighters by a margin.

Frankly speaking, the person in black was the strongest opponent he had encountered since returning to Jiangcheng, without exception!

The next moment, Xiao Feng reached for his waist, then swung his arm horizontally, three Silver Needles shot towards the person in black at high speed, the night being the perfect cover for hidden weapons.

However, maybe it was the particularly bright moonlight tonight, or the person's keen observation skills, the moment the Silver Needles flew, his upper body bent backward, a backbend narrowly avoiding them.

Without any unnecessary words, the two engaged in battle again without pause.

Xiao Feng had reason to believe that everyone inside saw everything that happened in the yard. No one came out, which could only mean this Demon Suppression Action Team leader usually appeared in the same attire.

Realizing this, Xiao Feng couldn't help but wonder more about the background of the person and why he/she deliberately maintained such mystery?

If it was to instill fear in their subordinates, it seemed a bit exaggerated.

But this was clearly not the time to think about such things; in a duel of experts, victory could be decided in the blink of an eye, and any distraction or wishful thinking would lead to inevitable demise!

At this moment, Xiao Feng realized the shortcoming of his weapon, the dagger, though convenient to carry, was perfect for assassinations and ambushes, but in an honest face-to-face battle, its flaws became apparent.

Of course, there was nothing he could do about it, as he couldn't possibly flaunt a halberd without attracting a wave of enthusiastic reports, resulting in being taken to the police station in minutes.

"Clang clang clang clang!"

The sound of weapons clashing continuously resounded, making Xiao Feng a bit furious. Pitting a dagger against a curved blade was too disadvantageous.

However, at this moment, a curious object placed in the corner caught Xiao Feng's attention, making his eyes light up.
