"Found you!"
As the Dark Smoke entered Long Xiwén’s hospital room, Wei Junhao, hiding on a rooftop at Kangnai, curled his lips into a smile. However, controlling the Dark Smoke seed to be a significant burden, as beads of sweat had already ford on his forehead. Incredibly, he could see everything in Long Xiwén’s room through the smoke, as if it were his own eyes. He and the Dark Smoke shared so kind of profoundly close connection.
At that mont, the lights in the room were off, plunging it into darkness. The dication from her IV drip had knocked Long Xiwén out, and she was sleeping soundly. Su Xuan was also dozing with his eyes closed. No one noticed that the Dark Smoke had entered the room.
The Dark Smoke suddenly expanded, slowly morphing into a humanoid shape on the floor. The figure was very similar to Wei Junhao’s build but was extrely small, like a child of five or six.
PFFT!
On the rooftop outside, Wei Junhao bit his tongue again, spraying out a mist of blood.
In the hospital room, the small figure’s arm trembled. It raised its palm, and a sharp, blood-red knife condensed in its hand. Knife in hand, the child looked at Long Xiwén, then at Su Xuan, seemingly deliberating on whom to kill first.
KNOCK, KNOCK!
Just at this critical mont, a knock sounded at the door. Imdiately, a nurse pushed the door open and turned on the light. The child ford from Dark Smoke hurriedly dove under the bed.
"Sir, excuse . It’s ti to change the IV drip."
The nurse first nodded apologetically to Su Xuan, then changed Long Xiwén’s IV bag. After observing Long Xiwén’s condition for another two minutes, she turned off the light and left.
Su Xuan continued to doze. The child crawled out from under the bed again.
First, silently drain the woman’s blood! Then, stab the man to death! Once that’s done, my great work will be complete, and I can go to Qi Li to claim credit!
Wei Junhao made up his mind. He was about to control the child to climb onto Long Xiwén’s bed and slit her throat when the door was knocked on again. Wei Junhao’s eyebrows twisted in frustration as he once again commanded the child to hide under the bed.
"Master, I’ve brought you the item."
This ti, the one who entered was Butler Liu. He handed an object to Su Xuan—it was the Ruyi Stick. He had co to deliver it after receiving a call from Su Xuan.
"Master, should I keep you company here?" Butler Liu then asked. Since Su Xuan had asked him to bring the Ruyi Stick, sothing bad might be about to happen.
"No need." Su Xuan placed the Ruyi Stick beside the hospital bed. "Go back and stay with the two children. You don’t need to worry about ."
As he spoke, he gave Butler Liu a strange wink, as if hinting at so hidden aning.
"Well... okay, then!"
Butler Liu had no choice but to leave the hospital room, which beca quiet once again.
Su Xuan continued dozing.
A mont later, the child crawled out from under the bed, its movents much slower this ti, as if it had little strength left. anwhile, Wei Junhao, hiding on the rooftop outside, was already drenched in sweat. Indeed, he could not control the child for long. He was now desperate to kill Su Xuan and Long Xiwén. He was doing this out of sheer necessity. Since Su Xuan had managed to defeat Qi Li’s senior brother, Wei Junhao wasn’t confident he could win in a direct fight. Otherwise, he never would have resorted to such a taxing assassination thod.
This will be over in three seconds!
The child successfully climbed onto Long Xiwén’s hospital bed and slashed the knife toward her neck. Just as the blade was about to touch her skin, sothing unexpected happened.
"Had enough fun?"
Su Xuan, who had just been feigning sleep, was now wide awake. He was gripping his Ruyi Stick and swung it fiercely.
The child was sent flying, crashing onto the floor. Its body hissed with escaping Dark Smoke, its form looking highly unstable.
PFFT!
Hiding on the rooftop, Wei Junhao seed to be linked to the blow. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning deathly pale.
"Co back!"
Wei Junhao hurriedly raised his hand and pressed hard on the small porcelain bottle in front of him. But he suddenly froze. The child was supposed to dissolve into Dark Smoke and drift back from the room, but it didn’t. He pressed again. Still no success.
"Thinking you can co and go as you please? Dream on!"
Back in the hospital room, Su Xuan had pinned the child down with the Ruyi Stick. Not only that, but the little girl who still hadn’t nad herself suddenly appeared beside Su Xuan. She pounced on the child, which was now unable to dissipate, and began to suck at it as if enjoying a delicious feast.
Hidden on the rooftop, a chill ran down Wei Junhao’s spine. His spirit and vitality began to wither rapidly. Because the Dark Smoke was linked to his very mind, the little girl’s actions felt as if she were draining his soul.
What was the origin of the Dark Smoke in his little porcelain bottle? It was cultivated using a secret technique after his ancestor’s death. In Taoist terms, it was his Protective Dharma Treasure.
More than a minute passed, and the little girl had already absorbed over half of the Dark Smoke. Wei Junhao’s complexion had drained of all color, making him look like a corpse.
"Ancestor, forgive !"
A resolute expression appeared on Wei Junhao’s face. He bit his finger and drew a line of blood between himself and the small porcelain bottle, his voice trembling as he commanded, "Sever!"
This single act cut the blood connection between him and the Dark Smoke.
The mont the word left his mouth, Wei Junhao felt as if he’d been struck by lightning, and he spat out another mouthful of blood. But his expression noticeably relaxed, a sign of imnse relief. In the depths of his eyes, however, a thick hatred erged.
His Protective Dharma Treasure was only in its initial stage. Once his cultivation beca more profound, he could have upgraded it. At a high enough level, taking a head from a thousand miles away would have been simple. But now, Su Xuan had ruined it. Moreover, it had been cultivated from the very soul of his ancestor!
"This vendetta has been established!" Wei Junhao muttered fiercely, staring in the direction of the hospital room. He then took a deep breath and left the rooftop.
In the hospital room, the little girl rubbed her belly and looked at Su Xuan with a cheeky grin. "I’m so full this ti. Will there be more later?"
"Good things like this don’t happen all the ti."
Su Xuan smiled at the little girl. Just then, his phone rang.
"Brother Su, the target isn’t a woman! It’s a man in very strange clothes. He’s been locked on by our drones!" Chen Yuesheng’s voice ca from the phone.
"A man?" Su Xuan was taken aback. He had assud that the cold woman, Qi Li, would be the one to co looking for trouble. He had arranged things with Chen Yuesheng in advance, planning to use Shenfeng Security’s help to catch the culprit in one fell swoop. He had no qualms about using their resources now, as he had long since beco a partner in the company.
"Let’s catch him first, then we’ll talk," Su Xuan said to Chen Yuesheng.
"The sa way we caught Zhai Dean?"
"Yes, follow the sa routine."
Su Xuan hung up the phone. He walked to the hospital room window and glanced at the night sky outside...
"Hmm?!"
After leaving the Kangnai rooftop, Wei Junhao ducked into a dark alley to recover. Suddenly, he realized sothing was following him. High above, two drones shone bright beams of light, illuminating him completely. Not only that, but two vehicles that looked like they were clad in iron armor drove into the alley...
