Chapter 25 – Pursuit!
Five minutes after Xia Ping had left, three figures quickly approached from a dark alley. The leader was a tall, middle-aged man dressed in black. His body bulged with muscle and he gave off a powerful aura that displayed his deep cultivation base.
”Boss, quickly take a look. He’s dead.” A hawk-nosed man’s eyes contracted when he saw the corpse on the ground, his face filled with shock.
What?!
The black-clothes middle-aged man’s face sank. “What the hell happened?! According to his strength, even if he was gravely injured by us, he still shouldn’t have died so easily!”
“There’s a bloody hole on his chest. It’s likely that his heart was pierced through by a hand.” The hawk-nosed man flipped the corpse over. “Sobody else ca by and killed him in this alley.”
He never would have thought that things would turn out like this, that a third party would appear.
“That package on his body! Where is it?!” the black-clothed middle-aged man quickly asked.
The hawk-nosed man checked the body over again before haplessly saying, “Not on him. It’s likely been taken away.”
“FUCK!”
His face instantly darkened. “Imdiately inform all of our people to completely seal off the imdiate vicinity within fifty kilotres and chase down every suspicious figure found! Once the target is discovered, I grant all of you permission to kill on sight! That package must be recovered at all costs! Otherwise, it will be your heads that replaces it!” he roared.
He was burning with fury at the mont, his body giving off a terrifying killing intent. The aura radiating off of him was so strong that cracks started to appear on the cent below him.
“Yes, boss!” his two subordinates obeyed.
.........
The area where the Black Bear Corporation was located was in a dilapidated part of Blackmoon City. Here unfinished and abandoned buildings lay sprawled out, tightly packed against each other to form a convoluted maze of paths and alleys. Debris lay scattered about, the ground riddled with holes. It was complete and utter chaos.
According to rumours, during the Great Cataclysm, this area was attacked by a horde of monstrous beasts. Everybody living there was evacuated and ever since, this place had been left in shattered ruins.
Even after those monstrous beasts were expelled, this area still didn’t flourish. Instead, it beca a gathering place for figures of the underworld, causing it to beco even more chaotic and complicated.
What made it even worse was that the surface area there was huge, spanning almost two hundred kilotres. Which made it practically a labyrinth. Without a map, it was almost impossible to navigate.
Now, after having ran for almost half an hour, Xia Ping covered a distance of twenty kilotres to arrive in front of an abandoned building. Seeing how it was temporarily safe, he finally let out a sigh of relief.
“Shit, I’m really down on my luck this ti to get caught up in this crap.” Xia Ping felt really helpless at the mont. “After killing sobody near the Black Bear Corporation, now how will I be able to buy the Golden dication? Do I really have to buy from another company?”
He was very clear that after having killed that middle-aged stranger and looting that mysterious package, he was now the enemy of the Black Bear Corporation.
All he needed to do was get close to the corporation’s building and his fate would be sealed. Even if nobody had seen his appearance at the ti, he still didn’t dare take the risk.
But seriously, what did that mysterious middle-aged man steal to anger an underworld faction like the Black Bear Corporation so much that they were willing to dispatch so many top experts to hunt him down?
Xia Ping’s eyes flashed. He imdiately wanted to open that package and take a look at just what was so important about it.
And just at that mont, a voice abruptly called out from a small alleyway in front of the abandoned building, “Oh! I just heard footsteps coming from that building. Let’s go and check it out.”
What?!
Xia Ping’s instincts imdiately started ringing out in alarm. Looking around, he quickly hid himself in the corner, concealing himself from their line of sight. Listening carefully, he could hear hurried footsteps approaching in his direction.
His eyes flashed. “Is this a coincidence? Or are they out to specifically look for ?”
Fwoosh. Three n instantly appeared in front of the entrance to the building. With cultivation bases at the fourth layer of Martial Disciple, all of them wore a red undershirt with tattoos on their shoulders, their faces covered in scars. Judging by their ferocious gazes and the bloody-red killing intent radiating off of them, it was very likely that they had all killed before.
As all of them entered the building, they started to warily scam their surroundings.
“Strange. Just a mont ago, I clearly heard so noise coming from here. Now there’s nothing.” One man’s eyes flashed, his face revealing a puzzled expression.
Another person replied to his words, “Maybe it’s a cat cry that you misheard? After all, this is an abandoned area. How could there still be people staying here? In my opinion, we should search sowhere else.”
“Quiet!” the third man ordered gruffly. “You know what our orders are. Every Black Bear Corporation mber is to check all suspicious figures entering Blackmoon City. And in our territory, every stranger must be carefully checked. The instant we discover the target, we can kill him or her on the spot. No rcy at all.”
“Yeah, and not only that. The boss has already ordered everybody to search. If we dare show any neglect, we’ll definitely be punished. Even if we don’t die, we’ll absolutely lose a layer of skin,” the first man said, his eyes filled with fear.
”Who the hell would have the balls to steal from our Black Bear Corporation anyways? They’re practically looking for death,” the other man sneered. “It won’t take long before we find that guy and when we do, we’ll rip them to pieces! That’ll show them nobody can ss around with our Black Bear Corporation.”
“Wait, there’s a problem here.”
The third man’s eyes sharpened, his gaze locked on the traces on the ground. “Look at the floor. There’s dust everywhere due to how long it’s been since sobody last entered, but aside from us there’s actually another set of footprints there. That an’s sobody else ca in not too long ago.”
Shit!
Xia Ping’s face sank. Just a mont ago, he was in too much of a hurry to hide and forgot to clean up his traces. Now, as those three n slowly followed his footsteps, their eyes shone with a brutal light as their killing intent flared.
No other choice then! Since he had been discovered, then he would kill his way out!
Boom!
In an instant, as those three n were three tres away from the corner, Xia Ping pounced! Almost like a cheetah, his body filled with explosive power, he punched out!
Leopard Fist – Cheetah Combo!
This fist was fast, precise, and vicious. It tore through the air and caused the wind to howl as it’s mighty force blasted by.
As for those three, they didn’t think that their enemy would be so fast! With just three tres between them, they didn’t have any chance to block at all!
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Instantly, three strikes connected with their targets, it’s frightening force ruthlessly smashing into the three n’s chests! Almost imdiately, two of the n’s chests were pierced through, their bones shattering as their hearts exploded!
“Fuck!”
There was still one person who was hanging onto life. After taking that attack, he quickly pull out a sharp knife and viciously stabbed towards Xia Ping’s abdon!
“Die already!”
Xia Ping didn’t give him any opportunity at all. In a flash, he quickly appeared in front of the man and grabbed his neck. Crack. His neck was forcibly twisted apart!
All three n were killed on the spot.
