Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 15989

Chapter 15987. Encirclement

The day passed uneventfully. Huo Lei and his men continued working. No matter how dangerous it was, the work had to be done; otherwise, they would be living off their savings. Besides, with so many of them together during the day, they weren’t worried about that guy attacking them. If he dared to attack them at this time, he would be courting death.

That evening, they returned to the compound. After dinner, Huo Lei warned everyone to be extra careful before taking Li Tong and Wu Lingfeng out. They quickly arrived at the small tavern. Upon arrival, they found it already quite full, but the atmosphere was somewhat somber.

When Huo Lei entered, many of the tavern clasped their hands in a fist salute. These people were all allies of the Green Wolf Gang, thanking Huo Lei for bringing them news that morning. It was clear that the tavern had more skilled fighters today, and none of the gangs were acting alone.

Huo Lei glanced at everyone, then smiled and said, “What’s wrong with everyone? Why do you all look so unhappy? Anyone who didn’t know better would think you were attacked last night. I almost died, and I’m not unhappy at all. What’s wrong with you all?”

Hearing this, everyone’s expressions softened. Then, someone spoke up, “Someone died again last night. The leader of the Broken Blade Gang and one of his men were killed, in the same way as the Iron Fist Gang members.”

Upon hearing this, Huo Lei’s expression immediately turned serious. He immediately said, “The leader of the Broken Blade Gang, his strength is not weak. His swift blade technique is probably unmatched among us.” “He’s been killed?”

Everyone nodded. Huo Lei’s face grew even uglier. He glanced at everyone and then said, “Gentlemen, I think we can’t wait any longer, we really can’t wait any longer. We have to take action. Today, I propose that we establish a coordinated plan starting tonight. If any of you are attacked, just send a signal, and everyone else must go to your aid. Moreover, I think that starting tomorrow, we should set aside a few days to find that guy. Until we find him, we won’t be able to work in peace, even if we want to. Does anyone agree to this proposal?”

Upon hearing Huo Lei’s words, everyone… They all nodded, and then several people said, “I agree.” “Me too, me too.”

Wu Lingfeng then spoke up, “I think we shouldn’t wait any longer. Everyone should send a message to your gang and tell them to start taking action immediately, in groups of at least five, to patrol the area. If they find anyone suspicious, report it immediately. That guy always operates at night, so the best time to find him is at night, even though it’s dangerous. But if we can find him, we’ve won.”

Hearing Wu Lingfeng’s suggestion, everyone was taken aback at first, then they all nodded. Huo Lei also nodded and said, “That’s a good idea. I’ll send a message to our men right now and tell them to…” “Go out immediately. Five people isn’t safe enough, let’s have ten. Ten people per group. That guy’s strength is not weak, he’s already reached the peak of the Qi level. If our people are in groups of five, it’s still too dangerous. At the same time, we’ll go out and search immediately. If we find anyone suspicious, we’ll send a signal immediately. The signal is to throw an energy ball into the sky. As soon as the energy ball is seen, the others can go to support immediately. What do you all think?”

Everyone nodded. They really didn’t want to wait any longer. They couldn’t let that guy continue like this. If they let those guys continue like this, more people would die. No one could say for sure if they would be the ones dying tomorrow, so they had to act immediately.

Then Huo Lei released a paper crane, and everyone else released paper cranes as well. Although the speed of paper cranes in transmitting messages was not as fast as the jade sword, it was enough for this area. Most importantly, paper cranes were very cheap. These paper cranes were actually a special kind of talisman paper that could be reused. Of course, you had to write on them. Once the paper crane was full of writing, it could no longer be used.

Following Huo Lei’s orders, all the members of each faction quickly mobilized, forming teams of ten to patrol the area. Huo Lei and his group also emerged from the tavern. The tavern owner, however, remained unmoved. He was well aware that failing to find the man would negatively impact their business. Previously, his tavern was bustling with customers every night, but now it was almost deserted, except for Huo Lei and his group holding a meeting. Business had suffered significantly, so the tavern owner was eager to find the man. As soon as Huo Lei and his group emerged

from the tavern, Wu Lingfeng drew a long sword. Huo Lei was startled, then immediately looked around warily, asking, “Have you found anything?” He assumed Wu Lingfeng had discovered something, hence the question.

Wu Lingfeng shook his head and said, “No, but I’m worried that if that guy attacks us, I won’t have time to draw my weapon, so it’s safer to keep it in hand.”

Huo Leiran recalled the slash from last night; it was incredibly fast, leaving him no chance to dodge. So he nodded and drew his twin hammers, while Li Tong drew his longsword. They quickly jumped onto the courtyard wall and cautiously looked around.

Soon they saw many figures patrolling the area. Huo Leiran frowned upon seeing this and said, “There are too many people. We might startle that guy.”

Wu Lingfeng said in a deep voice, “It’s good that we’ve startled him. We need to stir things up. It would be best if we could scare him out.”

Huo Lei nodded, about to say something, when suddenly they saw an energy ball fly up in the distance and explode in the sky. Huo Lei and the others were all jolted and rushed in that direction. According to their agreement, as soon as they discovered anything unusual, everyone had to go to their aid, so Huo Lei and the others rushed in that direction immediately.

Although Wu Lingfeng kept rushing forward, he was also paying attention to his surroundings. Just then, he suddenly felt a killing intent emanating from beneath his feet. Without saying a word, Wu Lingfeng jumped up, then flipped in the air, thrusting his long sword straight down at his feet. At the same time, his other hand moved, and a ball of light appeared in his hand. Then, the ball of light exploded with a bang, illuminating the surroundings in a ghastly white light.

The man hadn’t expected Wu Lingfeng to react so quickly. His attack was blocked by Wu Lingfeng, and a dazzling white light exploded before his eyes, blinding him and dispelling the surrounding darkness. He could no longer merge back into the darkness. At this moment,

Huo Lei and Li Tong reacted. Huo Lei immediately shouted, “Here! Don’t let him escape! Li Tong, signal!” As he spoke, he charged at the man with his twin hammers. Li Tong

also waved his hand, sending an energy ball into the sky. He was about to draw his sword to fight when Wu Lingfeng’s voice rang out, “Use Illumination! Keep using Illumination! We can’t let him hide in the darkness again!”

Li Tong responded and immediately cast Illumination, illuminating the surroundings as brightly as day. Then, a whooshing sound came from nearby; sure enough, someone was rushing towards them.

Meanwhile, Wu Lingfeng had already exchanged two blows with the man, pretending that his longsword was malfunctioning and that he was using it as a substitute for a sword, parrying the man’s attacks but unable to retaliate. At this moment,

Huo Lei charged forward, his double hammers striking the man. A flash of light appeared in the man’s hand, a beam of light slashing towards Huo Lei, and a pungent smell of blood filled the air.

Wu Lingfeng breathed a sigh of relief, shouting, “Be careful! His strength has increased, and he’s faster now!” He then charged at the man again, while Li Tong, standing nearby, continuously cast illumination spells.

Just then, more people arrived at the battlefield. Seeing the situation, they immediately understood what was happening. Li Tong said, “Use the Illumination spell first. He can disappear into the shadows. We can’t let him escape. Dispel all the shadows around him. Be careful, his blade is very fast.”

The newcomers immediately understood Li Tong’s meaning and why he had been using the Illumination spell. One of them immediately said, “Fifth Brother, you use the Illumination spell. The rest of you, follow me!” He then charged forward with his blade.

Sect disciples generally use flying swords, but ordinary rogue cultivators primarily use blades. Swords are more delicate than blades. In a clash, a sword might break in a few blows, while a blade might only have one or two nicks, which can be repaired and used again. Therefore, blades are relatively more durable than swords. Rogue cultivators are mostly poor, so they naturally choose the more cost-effective blade.

More people gathered around. Seeing this, the man hesitated, knowing full well he would die if things continued this way. He wielded his longsword even more frantically, a blur of blade light completely enveloping him. Seeing this, Wu Lingfeng shouted, “He’s trying to escape!” With a flick of his wrist, Wu Lingfeng threw out a talisman. Strangely, it wasn’t thrown at the man, but simply landed on the ground and disappeared, seemingly having no effect. This was puzzling.

However, people quickly realized what Wu Lingfeng’s talisman was. Amidst the man’s blade flashes, a talisman was also thrown, this time to the ground. The next moment, the man plummeted to the ground. Clearly, he wasn’t trying to escape underground. If he had, catching him would have been incredibly difficult, and everyone grew anxious.
