Xu Yue's serious question put Liu Ye in a daze.
Could he really fight soone who has probably spent countless hours mastering his elents? It wasn't a ga where he could die infinitely. One wrong move and he would be dead for real.
"Do you know how to awaken?" Liu Ye questioned confused. If she knew, why didn't she tell him about it earlier?
"I wasn't supposed to use it until later but we don't seem to have a choice," Xu Yue replied as he held his face. "I have a Water Stone sitting in my safe. If you consu it, maybe you can awaken on the spot."
Liu Ye widened his eyes, imdiately tempted to try it but his rationality kicked in. If they bet everything on fighting this man, they would lose the chance to escape.
"The people that chose you as a candidate are coming to save us," Liu Ye inford seriously. "As long as we can stay safe till then, we will have better chances to survive. Even if I can awaken, I wouldn't risk trying to fight him."
Although he was confident of his skills in-ga, real life was much different. Who knew if Waterbending worked the sa as in the ga.
Rumble...
As soon as he finished speaking, they heard the ice block move through the stone pathway. Liu Ye peeked through the pillar and saw the ice fortress paving its way. He didn't hesitate and pulled Xu Yue back inside the villa.
They saw Leader Xu get up from the floor full of glass and ice but he seed fine despite multiple scratches so she quickly skipped towards the stairs.
"Everyone! Listen to Liu Ye, I will be right back!"
"What is going on?!" Leader Xu questioned grimly as he wiped the blood from his face. "Do you know anything?"
All the guards shared the sa shock and disbelief while Leader Xu seed calr than normal. He looked at him suspiciously as if he already noticed the two of them were not scared either.
"The man outside has the power to control water elent. If we don't focus, he will reach the villa and kill us all," Liu Ye called out sternly as he gazed at all n in the room. "Grab your weapons and shoot at the sa spot. Even though he is powerful, he is still scared to get shot! We only need one bullet!"
He didn't waste ti and pulled out his pistol to show an example by shooting through the window.
Bang!
As soon as the bullet pierced into the ice, the young man stopped advancing.
"See! He can't advance and defend at the sa ti. He doesn't have infinite power either!" Liu Ye cried out. "I know you are scared but that's our only chance!"
The guards swallowed hard and finally listened by grouping up near the available windows.
"I don't know what's going on but I expect an explanation once we kill this fucker," Leader Xu replied as he joined them as well.
"When you see the water curtain, find a cover!" Liu Ye warned as he ignored Leader Xu and yelled for the last ti.
"Fire!"
The sound of all guns firing was insane, slowly hurting his ears. Their ammunition was limited but they seem to be doing a good job at stalling for more ti.
When he ran out of bullets, Liu Ye checked if Xu Yue ca back yet and rushed to the dining room to check on Zhenzhen. He didn't want her to run out in search of him just like last ti. Thankfully, she seed more disciplined this ti and was hiding with Mrs. Xu under the table.
"Big Bro!" Zhenzhen yelled as soon as she saw him and imdiately crawled out to hug him. "I thought you got hurt!"
Her cheeks were still wet from tears but she quickly wiped them with a hand to hide them.
"Don't worry, I'm fine but the situation doesn't look good," Liu Ye replied honestly as he gazed at Mrs. Xu. "I want you to take Zhenzhen together with all the workers and leave in the secret tunnel. The enemy is not after you but after so you should be safe."
"No!" Zhenzhen imdiately denied as she clung to him. "I'm not leaving you anywhere! If you want to leave, you have to go with !"
"Zhenzhen! This is serious!" Liu Ye warned just as the gunshots ceased and hundreds of ice shards began to bombard the house once again. Even the door to the dining area was not spared as sharp ice almost pierced through them.
"Is that ice? What is going on?" Mrs. Xu questioned only to exclaim in worry when Xu Yue burst inside through the door. "Xu Yue! What the hell happened?!"
Liu Ye turned around only to see Xu Yue swiftly grab the chair to support herself. Her arm was bleeding profusely while her back had an ice shard stabbed through the kevlar vest. It seed like instead of ice bullets, the young man switched to small spears instead.
"Liu Ye... I couldn't find you..." Xu Yue muttered with a pained groan as she displayed a sky-blue stone on her palm. "Take it from and eat it..."
She could barely breathe as she spoke, causing Liu Ye's heart to sink.
"Xu Yue!" Liu Ye imdiately rushed to check on her and couldn't help but curse in his mind. Her arm's wound wasn't too deep but the small ice spear in Xu Yue's back was deep in her back. The chances it pierced her lungs were really high and the bleeding was only getting worse.
If he pulled out the spear, she would bleed out to death in a matter of minutes. Liu Ye has never made a quicker decision than at that mont.
"Zhenzhen, eat it. We need your healing now," Liu Ye urged as he took the pill from Xu Yue's palm.
Zhenzhen was still stunned but seeing Xu Yue's face turning pale, Zhenzhen grabbed the Water Stone and ate it without any questions.. Her body montarily trembled a second later.
