Comprehension against the sky, creating the Five Thunders in the real world

The peaceful life day after day gradually made Yu Feng accustomed to this rhythm.

From initial resistance to current adaptation, and even beginning to enjoy it. Time flies, and two months have passed in the blink of an eye. It seems that this period of seclusion should come to an end.

For the past two months, all has been peaceful, and there have been no assassination attempts.

It seems the turmoil outside has subsided.

……

However, this peaceful town is about to face an eventful day.

Although many assassins and mercenaries dare not easily set foot on Chinese territory.

China is known as the "graveyard of mercenaries," a forbidden zone for all mercenaries.

No assassin or mercenary has ever been able to run rampant on Chinese soil.

However, the situation is not absolute; assassins with East Asian features still have opportunities to infiltrate China.

However, they must be extremely careful in their actions.

They were reluctant to take such a risk... but the price offered by Japan was simply too tempting to refuse.

It could even be said that they had no intention of setting foot on Chinese soil at all.

The risk factor for carrying out missions in China is simply too high.

A slight misstep could expose their identity, given the astonishing regional cultural differences and linguistic complexity within China. Even native-born locals may not fully grasp the dialects and customs of each region, let alone outsiders. Of course, some experienced assassins and mercenaries are capable of handling such missions.

Professional assassins are always able to handle various unexpected situations with flexibility.

Some top-tier assassins and mercenaries even delve into the history and culture of their target countries.

The long and splendid civilization of China has indeed deeply fascinated some of their peers, but even so, they still choose to target Chinese people—this has nothing to do with cultural preferences, but is purely a professional requirement.

"It seems that this hefty bounty is destined to fall into our hands."

"After we finish this last job, we can pretty much retire and enjoy life."

A strange smile crept onto Mdi's lips.

He underwent plastic surgery specifically for this mission.

However, he has no complaints about his current new look.

In fact, he greatly admires the customs, culture, and traditions of China.

After retiring from this life of crime, he could easily settle down in China under this new identity. He speaks fluent Mandarin, and those who don't know him can't tell he's a foreigner at all.

Even within China itself, few can speak fluent Mandarin like him. He wasn't acting alone; he was partnered with another assassin from China. No matter where you are, there will always be some people with no moral compass. As long as the money is right, as long as the reward is tempting enough...

They're willing to do anything for money.

They would accept the task of assassinating their own country's heroes without hesitation, provided the reward was tempting enough. For enough money, they'd do anything.

Mdi doesn't dislike this kind of person.

Because from a certain perspective, they are actually the same kind of people.

Moreover, the other party did indeed provide him with a lot of convenience and support.

“Mdi, you may not know this, but the target we’re assassinating this time is someone of great importance.”

"He is a universally recognized hero in China."

"It can be said that the failure of the Sakura Kingdom's plan this time was entirely caused by him."

Ah Si's words immediately made Mdi's expression serious, and he asked with slight hesitation:

"So, do you think we have a chance of succeeding?"

"Someone of this caliber is probably not easy to deal with."

He is not an arrogant person.

How could someone capable of influencing the situation between two major powers be an ordinary person?
These types of targets are often extremely difficult to deal with.

This also explains why Japan was willing to offer such an exorbitant fee.

……

Lin Beichen and Yu Feng were walking leisurely down the street.

Neighbors along the way said goodbye to them from time to time, and everyone knew that the two outsiders were about to leave.

Although they hadn't known each other for long, the residents had grown quite fond of the two outsiders. During their time together, they had indeed helped everyone a great deal, and never asked for anything in return.

"If you want to experience folk life again in the future, you are welcome to come back anytime. Our doors are always open."

Many people said this with such enthusiasm.

Even the landlord couldn't help but wipe away tears; these two were practically gods of wealth.

Although he only rented the place for two months, the rent he paid was far more generous than that of ordinary tenants. He must be a wealthy young master from a rich family, and he likes such generous tenants the most.

……

Lin Beichen never expected to run into the assassin on the street.

Although he couldn't see through the other person's disguise at a glance, he could keenly sense that danger was approaching. Despite not deliberately calculating, a strong intuition made him realize that a crisis was imminent.

Yu Feng was unaware of Lin Beichen's unusual behavior.

At this moment, he was completely immersed in the relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, and he felt a little lightheaded.

Mdi and A-Si also spotted their target, but they didn't act immediately. They knew full well that committing a crime in broad daylight was no easy feat.

Lin Beichen is no ordinary person.

They had already investigated this matter thoroughly.

Trying to win through a direct, forceful attack is virtually impossible.

Therefore, they had no choice but to take a roundabout approach. The two pretended to be nonchalant and brushed past their target.

Lin Beichen also pretended not to notice anything.

He didn't intend to alert the enemy.

Taking action in such a busy downtown area is clearly not a wise move.

The two sides quickly went their separate ways, and everything seemed perfectly normal.

The calm on the surface often conceals the most unusual and deadly intentions.

"Yu Feng, stop fooling around, we're already being watched."

Lin Beichen suddenly spoke up to remind him.

Upon hearing this, Yu Feng's spirits lifted, and he immediately became excited.

He knew that Lin Beichen would never make such a joke.

Since Lin Beichen has said so, it means that something big is indeed about to happen.

Yu Feng had been waiting for this day for a long time; he originally thought that no assassins would come knocking on his door.

It now appears that it wasn't that the other side didn't take action.

However, the other party has been secretly waiting for the best opportunity. Once they make a move, it will be with overwhelming force.

He wasn't scared at all.

Instead, he appeared quite calm, even subtly excited.

Seeing Yu Feng's appearance, Lin Beichen couldn't help but shake his head slightly, thinking to himself: The most dangerous thing isn't a direct confrontation; if it were a head-on clash, he naturally wouldn't be afraid. What's truly worrying is the various insidious methods the other side might employ. If they were to target innocent civilians, using them as leverage, that would be the most troublesome situation, and it's what Lin Beichen fears most.

Lin Beichen voiced his concerns.

After hearing this, Yu Feng's expression also became serious, and the relaxed and carefree look on his face was gone.

The excitement vanished instantly.

He understood that a fierce battle was likely to follow.

Strike first to gain the upper hand; strike later to be at the mercy of others. It's better to take the initiative than to wait passively.

To catch them off guard and prevent them from causing trouble here.

Without hesitation, the two launched their operation, carrying out the decapitation strike before their target could react. Mdi and Ah Si thus died mysteriously in a secluded alley.

Fortunately, Lin Beichen and Yu Feng are experienced in carrying out various missions over the years.

They handle these situations with ease and work together seamlessly.

The enemy was successfully defeated without causing panic among the local residents.

"I thought he was going to be something special, but all he's got is his skill?"

A bright smile returned to Yu Feng's face.

He hadn't expected the enemy to be so easily defeated. To be precise, it was Lin Beichen who saw through the enemy's disguise beforehand, which allowed him to succeed so smoothly. If the enemy had been in the dark while he was in the light, the situation would have been dangerous.

If these two guys really do take ordinary people hostage.

Lin Beichen and Yu Feng will indeed be constrained as a result.

Assassination attempts like this are often either zero times or countless times.

The fact that such an event hadn't occurred before sent a signal. In the following month, Lin Beichen faced a series of assassination attempts. On one occasion, he nearly failed, only escaping danger thanks to Yu Feng's assistance.

Their fighting strength is far more than simply one plus one equals two.

Years of working side by side have fostered an extremely high level of teamwork.

In battle, words are unnecessary; a glance or a gesture is enough for them to understand each other perfectly. This flawless teamwork has led many assassins and mercenaries to their downfall. While their individual skills are formidable, their teamwork is a significant weakness.

The same was true of the assassin duo they encountered initially.

One was a native of China, and the other was an outsider in disguise.

On the surface, it appears to be a fair contest of two against two.

However, they lacked absolute trust, and without trust, there was a rift. Under these circumstances, they were naturally no match for Lin Beichen and his buddy, who were stronger and cooperated flawlessly. This bloody pursuit lasted for over a month.

All sorts of assassins are emerging one after another.

There have even been mercenary teams equipped with heavy weapons.

Faced with this group of heavily armed thugs, Lin Beichen did not hesitate to call for backup.

Before you take action, don't you think about where you are? This is Chinese territory.

Can you really let outsiders run rampant in your own home? If they want to carry out assassinations or sneak attacks, Lin Beichen can at least deal with them for a while.

But if heavy weapons are used, Lin Beichen will no longer be polite.

He will not allow these dangerous weapons to endanger the safety of ordinary people.

……

Lin Beichen and Yu Feng's situation was soon made known to their superiors.

After it was confirmed that the two had become key targets, they were immediately placed under tight protection.

As a result, the assassins and mercenaries no longer dared to act rashly.

Many people have already begun planning to leave China.

They knew perfectly well that the target of this mission was extremely difficult to deal with.

Obtaining this huge bounty will not be easy.

Judging from the current situation, it's very likely that they'll end up making money but not being able to spend it. Everyone felt a pang of regret; they had thought China was nothing special, but the reality was quite the opposite.

China is a tough nut to crack.

Moreover, China maintains extremely strict control over its borders.

They went through great lengths to sneak into China.

Their arrival went relatively smoothly, but leaving isn't so easy now. China immediately strengthened its border defenses, leaving these illegally entered assassins and mercenaries in a dilemma.

Even so, they dared not risk a desperate, all-or-nothing confrontation.

Many assassins and mercenaries began to go into hiding, looking for an opportunity to escape.

They all planned to wait until the storm passed and the border guards relaxed their vigilance before looking for an opportunity to escape.

This large-scale assassination attempt caused a huge uproar internationally.

Multiple international organizations have issued statements condemning Japan.

Despite the lack of any concrete evidence, the finger is pointed directly at the Japanese government.

It's understandable that people would have such thoughts, given the numerous conflicts between Japan and China.

In particular, the conflict between the two sides has continued to escalate recently.

It has clearly become a situation of no return.

It's understandable that Japan, having lost the confrontation, would seek revenge.

Behind all this, a powerful force is subtly pulling the strings.

The empire's attempt to take advantage of this opportunity to suppress the Sakura Kingdom and seize some control is clearly an act of opportunism, and the Sakura Kingdom will naturally not compromise easily.

The current situation is like dogs fighting each other, leaving everyone with nothing but a mess.

China did not get too involved in this matter, nor was it willing to get involved in the mess left by Japan.

At this time, China was carrying out a highly classified operation.

To be precise, China is preparing to launch a large-scale operation globally. Unlike the assertive approach of the Empire and Japan, China has always maintained the stance of a peace envoy.

Peaceful development is the primary principle of China.

Of course, China will never show mercy to any invading enemy.

Those who offend China, no matter how far away, will be punished! No matter who it is, anyone who dares to harm China must pay the price.

Japan has already tasted the bitter fruit of its own actions.

China does not currently intend to continue its relentless pursuit.

Even a rabbit will bite when cornered; one must always exercise discretion in all things.

Moreover, the most urgent task is to eliminate internal hidden dangers.

There are currently many assassins and mercenaries lurking within China's borders. If they are not rooted out and eliminated, there will be endless trouble in the future. As for letting them leave? That is absolutely impossible.

The most important thing to do now is to make an example of one to warn others.

Only by annihilating all these criminals can we instill a sense of awe for China in others. Only in this way can we make other assassins and mercenaries think twice before setting foot in China. Lin Beichen was well aware of this, and he had been entrusted with this important task by his superiors.

It's conceivable that the truly top-tier assassins may not have been deployed yet.

The land of cherry blossoms must still be hiding its last trump card.

"Don't go anywhere during this time, just stay here and wait for orders."

The military high command issued instructions to Lin Beichen.

He didn't want a young and promising talent like Lin Beichen to meet with misfortune; he was a true pillar of the nation.

"I am confident that I can protect myself."

Lin Beichen tried to argue, but was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

According to the military leadership, it's always better to be safe than sorry; being cautious is never a bad thing.

Lin Beichen had no choice but to accept this.

Strategic talents like Lin Beichen would naturally receive close protection from their superiors.

He is a shining example of official integrity.

As for Yu Feng, his treatment was completely different. The primary assassination target in Japan was Lin Beichen; Yu Feng was merely a side target. Faced with this differential treatment, Yu Feng felt helpless. (End of Chapter)
