Conquest of Taboo and Debauchery

Chapter 169: 169: Ye Fei's Outburst



"HEY, Ye Fei! What do you think you're doing?" the captain shouted in alarm, watching Ye Fei dash forward without hesitation. The relationship between Ye Fei and Liu Junyi was well-known, especially to him.

Seeing Ye Fei recklessly rushing towards danger, how could he not be anxious? If something happened to Ye Fei. while it might not be his direct responsibility. it would certainly raise questions later. Most importantly, how would he face Liu Junyi. the commander-in-chief, if Ye Fei came to harm?

Ye Fei, however, ignored the captain's words and continued charging ahead with incredible speed. The terrorists hiding in the woods had been firing for a while, but apart from hitting Li Yun at the beginning, they hadn't done much damage. Seeing Ye Fei recklessly running towards them alone, they were initially stunned.

Then, realizing their advantage, they aimed their guns and unleashed a barrage of bullets at him.

Rat-tat-tat! Rat-tat-tat!

But Ye Fei was too fast. Most of the bullets hit nothing but air. The few that struck him merely tore his clothes without causing any harm.

In a matter of seconds. Ye Fei had closed the distance and dashed into the woods like a gust of wind. Scanning the area. he spotted terrorists hiding behind nearly every tree. their black uniforms blending into the forest.

A quick count showed there were at least two hundred of them.

Shocked by his superhuman speed and invulnerability, the terrorists hesitated, frozen in place as Ye Fei barreled through them.

Seeing this moment of hesitation. Ye Fei seized the opportunity. Grabbing the Heckler & Koch HK416 rifle in his hands. he unleashed a deadly hail of gunfire.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

More than a dozen terrorists dropped instantly.

Still. Ye Fei found this method too slow. Tossing aside his rifle, he summoned two massive swords from his spatial storage. wielding one in each hand. Like a whirlwind, he spun through the trees. slashing through everything in his path- men.

trees, even rocks taller than him. Everything was cleaved cleanly in half. His momentum was unstoppable.

"Run! Run from this monster!"

"Get out! Flee!"

Panic set in among the terrorists. Despite their experience. they had never faced anything like Ye Fei. Overwhelmed by fear, many threw down their weapons and fled.

Though the terrorists were well-trained. they were still only human. None could match Ye Fei's superhuman speed. He hunted them down one by one, cutting them down before they could escape. Once the terrorists' firepower had been completely silenced, the special forces used the opportunity to surround the remaining stragglers. swiftly taking care of those that Ye Fei hadn't reached.

By the end, none of the 107 terrorists had escaped.

As Wei Qing fired a final shot, killing a terrorist who tried to resist, the woods fell eerily silent. The special forces soldiers stared at Ye Fei, their expressions a mix of disbelief and awe, as though they had just seen a ghost.

Wei Qing, too, was shocked. When Ye Fei had first rushed forward, she had been secretly pleased, hoping that he would be killed by the terrorists. Yet, despite her personal dislike for him, a part of her had felt conflicted. As a comrade, she couldn't help but feel some responsibility for him.

But then she witnessed something beyond astonishing. She had previously heard rumors that Ye Fei was an excellent sharpshooter, but she had never taken them seriously. She thought his skills. no matter how good. couldn't possibly compare to hers.

Now, after witnessing his performance. she realized the rumors had understated the truth. If people said his marksmanship was on par with hers, they had been being polite. He was far beyond her in skill. She found herself marveling at how remarkable the Liu family was, Liu Junyi was already powerful, but her nephew was something else entirely-far stronger than she had ever imagined.

The special forces soldiers continued to stare at Ye Fei with wide-eyed amazement. Ye Fei could only smile bitterly, realizing that his true strength was now exposed. Keeping his abilities a secret in the special forces was no longer an option. His only hope was to convince them to help maintain his secret, ensuring that the person behind the conspiracy didn't find out.

He knew that soldiers were trained to uphold confidentiality, so he was hopeful that they would cooperate. And once the larger conspiracy was revealed, he believed they would see the benefit of having someone, like him as an ally. He even started considering the possibility of recruiting these elite soldiers for his own purposes later on.

As for the terrorists. Ye Fei wasn't too worried about them. The lack of signal in the area limited both the special forces and the terrorists alike. As long as he eliminated all of them, there was no chance of information leaking out.

Having made up his mind. Ye Fei walked over to the captain. Looking down at Li Yun, whose breathing was becoming increasingly faint, he felt a pang of sadness. "Captain. how's Uncle Li?" he asked.

The captain shook his head. his expression grim. "The situation isn't good. Captain Li's cervical vertebrae are damaged. Even if we save his life. it's unlikely he'll ever walk again.

"Let's focus on saving his life first." Ye Fei replied, trying to push down the wave of guilt. Whether or not Li Yun could walk again wasn't Ye Fei s immediate concern-he had other ways to heal him later if necessary. For now. all that mattered was keeping him alive.

The captain nodded, turning to Wei Qing. who had just joined them. "Any survivors?" he asked.

Wei Qing shook her head. "No. We captured a few, but they committed suicide before we could interrogate them. It's hard to tell what group they belong to. These men had no identifying marks, and there were both Eastern and Western faces among them."

The captain sighed. "I see. Tough opponents this time. "

Ye Fei. deep in thought, suspected that even if they had captured some alive, it would've been hard to extract useful information. These terrorists were likely unaware of who was truly pulling the strings. Still. it didn't matter much to him. As long as he could uncover the larger conspiracy, it would be enough to rally the elite special forces behind him.

"Captain." Ye Fei said. breaking the silence. "Doesn't something about all this feel wrong?

The captain frowned. "It's strange. We didn't encounter any signs of them earlier. but they suddenly appeared behind us. If we had signal here. I'd suspect a traitor."

Ye Fei mentally agreed, though he knew the issue wasn't within the team but elsewhere. "What should we do next?" he asked.

The captain thought for a moment before replying. "I think our best move is to regroup with Captain Liu and the others. We can strategize together from there."

"Can you contact her?" Ye Fei asked. now more anxious. His group had been ambushed. and he had no idea if Zhang Qiang had been able to signal for help in case of danger.

What if his aunt was in danger and hadn't able to sent a signal? That thought terrified him.

"Each captain has an emergency signal flare for situations like this," the captain explained, reaching for the launcher in his backpack. Just as he prepared to fire the flare, there was a sudden burst of light from the forest. followed by the loud crackle of fireworks overhead. Streams of bright colors lit up the sky. resembling the branches of a weeping willow.

Ye Fei's face went pale. He recognized the signal-it was the special flare he had given to Zhang Qiang. Without wasting another second, he signaled the captain to hold off and darted into the dense forest like a flash of lightning.
