Chapter 730 The traitor appears!
Seeing the reinforcements appear, Inoue Juro felt like he had found a life-saving straw. He endured the excruciating pain in his lower body, forced himself to stand up halfway, and shouted at the top of his voice:
"Haha, you are dead! This is your burial place today, no one can leave alive!" The twisted face was full of pride and ferocity, and he completely forgot that he was still struggling to survive on the ground just now.
Lu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, his expression unchanged, and he just shook his head slightly, as if he was looking at an unreasonable clown.
The next second, he slowly raised his right hand, and his arm drew a neat arc in the air.
At the same time, countless deadly ghosts seemed to be lurking in the darkness. Suddenly, gunshots rang out, and "puff puff" sounds came one after another, like dense raindrops falling on the ground.
The killers who had just rushed out from the darkness and had not yet had time to gain a foothold were instantly pierced by bullets, and blood splattered on their chests and shoulders.
Some people opened their eyes wide and fell forward before they could even let out a scream; some people covered their wounds that were bleeding, struggled in vain for a few times, and then slowly became motionless.
In the blink of an eye, the road was littered with corpses, and blood flowed freely, gathering into a pool of dark red with a fishy smell.
The smugness on Inoue Juro's face froze in an instant, his mouth opened wide enough to fit an egg, and his originally ferocious eyes were now filled with endless fear and confusion.
At that moment, twelve figures emerged from the deepest darkness of the night, step by step, steady and mysterious. Their postures were nimble, their steps were synchronized, and the automatic weapons in their hands shone with a cold metallic luster, like the sharp teeth of a ferocious beast, choosing its prey.
Looking at the twelve zodiac masks again, some are ferocious, some are solemn, each one exudes a chilling aura, covering the wearer's face tightly, leaving only a pair of eyes as deep as cold pools, fixed on everyone in the field.
The moment Inoue Juro saw the twelve people clearly, his body felt like it had been struck by lightning. He shuddered violently, his fingers shaking uncontrollably as he pointed at them, his voice filled with extreme fear and shock, his previous arrogance gone. "You...you, are actually the twelve zodiac animals!"
He swallowed hard, his Adam's apple rolling violently, and cast his gaze towards Lu Feng, his eyes full of disbelief, "What is the origin of this...this kid? How could he invite you here?"
Every word he spoke was trembling, and the fear in his heart was like a flood that broke through a dam, completely destroying his remaining will.
Hearing the question, the leader, Chen Long, spoke coldly, his voice as if wrapped in ice, coming out from behind his mask: "He is our master. What do you think of his origins?"
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a blockbuster bomb exploding in the silence, making Inoue Juro's head buzz.
He stared at Lu Feng with his eyes wide open, as if he wanted to see through him, trying to find any trace of characteristics on this young and calm face that could match the astonishing identity of "Master of the Twelve Zodiac Signs".
Having been in the underground world for many years, Inoue Juro knows too well the importance of the twelve zodiac signs.
This is a mysterious and powerful force. With only twelve people, they can stir up a bloody storm in the darkness. Gangs and killer organizations from all over the world are all afraid of them.
In the countless assassinations, intelligence thefts, and underground transactions, they have always been the manipulators behind the scenes, mysterious and unpredictable, and have never failed.
But now, such a legendary organization has surrendered to this young man in front of him who looks only in his twenties or thirties. How can he not be shocked?
"How...how is this possible..." Inoue Juro stammered, his lips trembling uncontrollably. The half of his body that was barely holding on just now seemed to have been drained of strength in an instant and collapsed again.
His eyes frantically shifted between Lu Feng and the twelve zodiac animals. With each glance, the fear in his heart grew a little more intense. "Who... who are you? This... this doesn't make sense..."
He muttered to himself, his heart filled with confusion. His former confidence and arrogance were shattered by the facts before him, leaving only endless fear and deep despair.
Lu Feng's mouth curled up slightly, and then he took a step forward slowly. His leather shoes stepped on the blood-soaked ground, making a "tapping" sound that was particularly clear in the dead silence.
He looked down at Inoue Juro with a look of amusement in his eyes. "The world is vast, and there are so many things beyond your comprehension. It's a pity that you don't have the chance to see more."
After saying this, he waved his hand lightly, but that casual movement seemed to sentence Inoue Juro to death.
Nie Zhan sneered and was about to take action, but at this moment, something unexpected happened. When everyone's eyes were on Inoue Juro, Youlan, who was not far away, shot out like a cheetah and rushed straight to Lu Feng.
This sudden change made everyone stunned in an instant, their minds went blank and they were at a loss.
Leng Yu and Leng Xue were the first to come to their senses. Their hearts suddenly tightened, and their eyes were instantly filled with fear. Instinct drove them to stand in front of Lu Feng and try to stop him.
But Youlan's movements were too fast, like a flash of black lightning. By the time they made a move, the long sword in Youlan's hand was already firmly placed on Lu Feng's throat. The cold blade was pressed against his skin, emitting a chilling light.
Leng Yu's eyes widened in shock and disbelief, and his eye sockets instantly turned red as he shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Youlan! What are you doing?" Her voice was broken and a little tearful. She was unwilling to believe that this sister who had shared the joys and sorrows with her and grew up together would point a knife at her beloved young master.
Leng Xue's face was also filled with horror, her lips trembling, and she stared at Youlan intently, her heart full of worry almost overflowing. She hated herself for not believing what the young master said just now.
If she had believed that there was a spy in the young master's organization, she would have been on guard. As long as she was on guard, she could easily stop the attack with her enhanced skills.
Youlan avoided everyone's gaze, lowered her head, her body trembling slightly, and just kept whispering: "I'm sorry, I... I don't want to..." The voice was crying, revealing deep helplessness and despair.
Qiangwei's beautiful eyes opened wide, burning with anger, and she gritted her teeth and said, "It was you who leaked the organization's headquarters!" As soon as these words came out, Xueying and the others were all shocked, and they all looked at Youlan, their eyes full of astonishment and disbelief.
They had trained together, gone through life and death together, and those vows were still vivid in their minds. Who could have imagined that betrayal would come from the people closest to them.
But unlike the others who were shocked and incredulous, Lu Feng remained calm, with the playful smile on his lips still there, as if what was hanging around his neck was not a deadly blade, but a light feather.
He raised his head slightly, looked directly into Youlan's eyes, and said softly, "You are finally willing to take action. I thought you didn't dare to do it."
He looked so calm, as if everything was under his control and this betrayal was just an expected event.
