"Ha ha... ha..."
After years of living in comfort, although Li Sicheng often worked out, his stamina wasn’t what it used to be now that he was middle-aged.
As soon as he reached the back yard of the manor, he couldn’t help but gasp for air.
Compared to Li Sicheng and the others, Li Sifang, being a woman, was even more at a disadvantage.
Unlike her brothers Li Siyuan and Li Sicheng, she indulged herself in the allure of n and couldn’t extricate herself from it.
Li Sifang was plump, and with every step, her body fat jiggled.
"Wait, wait... wait for !"
Li Sifang hurriedly chased after the footsteps of her brothers, desperately fleeing.
Bang!
At this mont, a bullet shot from behind, hitting Li Sifang in the thigh.
"Ah!"
With a scream, Li Sifang fell to the ground.
She frantically turned her head to look back and saw Li Xinyue’s somber face. She quickly waved her hands and scread, "It wasn’t ! I wasn’t the one who killed Uncle! I don’t know—"
Li Xinyue had no intention of wasting words. As she passed by Li Sifang, she stabbed down with her sword, piercing through her face.
The scream ca to an abrupt halt, causing Li Siyuan and Li Siyuan, who were fleeing, to turn back involuntarily.
Even the few subordinates surrounding them were horrified.
Not all of their subordinates had engravings; those with engravings were retired hunters from various expedition towns, having felt they could no longer make money from abyssal hunts, or having offended so bigshot in the towns, these hunters chose to retire.
Typically, retired hunters shifted to jobs like security or bodyguard work, with only a very few becoming police officers or soldiers.
Having spent a large sum to recruit these retired hunters only for them to all die at the hands of Yan Luo and Li Xinyue—how could this not terrify Li Siyuan?
He had thought that the forces at his disposal were enough to deal with Li Xinyue. Even if Li Xinyue had grown in the Crimson Abyss, she shouldn’t have been his match.
But he never expected that at such a critical mont, Li Xinyue would dare to bring Yan Luo into Celestial Sea City!
—Where did Li Xinyue get the connections to invite Yan Luo? And how could she have the Celestial Sea City Governnt cover Yan Luo’s identity?
Li Siyuan and Li Siyuan ran to the back yard and saw Li Sicheng standing there, panting heavily.
At the sight of Li Sicheng, Li Siyuan imdiately rushed over and punched his brother.
They had agreed to face the consequences together, yet Li Sicheng fled on his own, without calling them. How could Li Siyuan not be angry?
Li Sicheng fell to the ground but did not get up imdiately.
"Elder brother, we’ve already lost..."
Li Sicheng sat disheartened on the ground, his eyes unfocused.
When Li Xinyue killed all their n, they had already lost.
Once Li Xinyue opened that safe and obtained the inheritance docunts left by Li Shen Yi, even if she didn’t catch up to kill them, they had already lost.
"Fool!"
Enraged, Li Siyuan pulled Li Sicheng up and slapped him hard, "Sifang is already dead, do you want to die too?"
Hearing this, Li Sicheng shuddered and quickly straightened up.
Li Xinyue didn’t go for the docunts but ca after them.
She had grown trendously in the Crimson Abyss, not only possessing three engravings but also having considerable combat ability.
The few remaining subordinates couldn’t stop Li Xinyue.
"You, you block Li Xinyue!"
Li Sicheng anxiously pointed at the subordinates still with them, then grabbed Li Siyuan’s wrist, "Brother, we leave now. Even though we’ve lost, we can at least save our lives!"
Hearing Li Sicheng’s suggestion, a look of indignation flashed across the faces of those subordinates.
The implication was to let them cover the retreat, buying ti for Li Sicheng and the others to escape?
How much salary do they get in a month to risk their lives for this?
Fortunately, Li Siyuan had quick wits. He gave Li Sicheng a slap and then turned to the subordinates, saying, "Don’t listen to him. Just co with us to the parking lot, and we’ll use the flying device to leave the manor."
"None of you will leave!"
A shout from the corridor behind was accompanied by a gunshot. Li Siyuan’s head suddenly jerked to the side, and his body fell to the ground.
Until his death, he didn’t realize what happened.
Seeing another brother die, Li Sicheng scread, falling to the ground as his legs gave out.
Li Siyuan, heart hardened, pulled out a handgun and aid down the corridor, repeatedly pulling the trigger.
"Quick! Fire!"
The subordinates were snapped out of their trance. So drew their guns and fired alongside Li Siyuan, while others knelt, pleading with Li Xinyue.
The ones who drew their guns were quickly taken down by two shots from Li Xinyue, their fates unknown, while those who knelt down ca out unscathed.
Ratatat!
After repeatedly pulling the trigger only to hear clicking, Li Siyuan realized he was out of ammo and hurriedly grabbed for another magazine.
But due to either panic or sweaty palms, the new magazine slipped from his hand to the ground. He crouched to pick it up, only for Li Xinyue, who had already reloaded, to shoot him.
"Ah!"
Shot in the shoulder, Li Siyuan let out a scream and fell to the ground.
Blood oozed from several of Li Xinyue’s wounds as she walked into the sunlight, but it couldn’t compare to the ferocity on her face.
She didn’t wait for Li Siyuan to beg; the mont they attacked her, she knew it was these people—her uncles and aunt—who had killed her grandfather!
In terror, Li Siyuan looked up, his open mouth moving to beg for his life, only to see the glint of flas erupting from the gun aiming between his eyebrows.
In that mont, would he recall those scenes of raising Li Xinyue?
The bullet tore through Li Siyuan’s brain, his eyes instantly losing their light.
Then, Li Xinyue swiftly turned her aim towards Li Sicheng.
Li Sicheng’s face turned ghastly pale as he scread, "No—"
Bang!
Disregarding his words, Li Xinyue shot him in the head.
At this mont, Wang Zhengxian flew to the skies above the backyard, witnessing Li Xinyue executing Li Sicheng.
His face void of emotion, electric light gathered at the staff’s tip as he swung it down fiercely.
"Die for !"
The task assigned from above was a complete failure, and Wang Zhengxian dared not imagine what punishnt awaited him upon his return. In his fury, he attacked Li Xinyue to vent his full rage.
Just then, a dark shadow leapt from behind Li Xinyue, pulling her forward.
Yan Luo, holding Li Xinyue, darted six ters away, landing and rolling a couple of tis before standing up.
The lightning unleashed by Wang Zhengxian struck those who hadn’t run in ti, killing them.
Wang Zhengxian wore an exoskeleton for aerial combat. The fuel stored in the exoskeleton allowed for three hours of flight, but the thrusters required rest after every fifteen minutes of flight, needing five minutes on the ground to cool down.
However, fifteen minutes was already enough!
Having failed to secure Li Siyuan and the others, killing Yan Luo and taking the engraving tool from him was now paramount.
This engraving tool was said to have been left by their ancestors, possessing earth-shattering effects, and many factions were eager to seize it.
Unfortunately, Yan Luo had been hiding within the Abyss, and Crimson No. 2 was his domain. Taking this item from him was incredibly difficult.
Luckily, encountering Yan Luo now allowed an opportunity to seize the engraving tool.
Perhaps it could redeem him!
"Yan Luo, die!"
Wang Zhengxian pulled out a dium and evacuated the air around Yan Luo.
Yan Luo’s eyes focused as he hurled Li Xinyue towards the villa’s back door, then leapt into the air.
As he predicted, Wang Zhengxian had only evacuated the air from a specific spot, and that area would not move with Yan Luo’s movent.
Or rather, his movent speed was too fast for Wang Zhengxian to transfer the vacuum area.
Though Yan Luo escaped the vacuum space, he had jumped into the air, turning himself into a target, hadn’t he?
Wang Zhengxian imdiately halted maintaining the vacuum, instead firing a lightning strike at Yan Luo.
At this instant, Yan Luo’s figure plumted.
In just a second, Yan Luo crashed to the ground.
While he couldn’t utilize his magnetic field to fly, he could speed up his descent.
The lightning missed its mark, and Wang Zhengxian looked at the ground in astonishnt.
What was up with this guy? Wasn’t he supposed to have no special abilities?
