Chapter 200: Complete Annihilation
Hearing these words spoken by Kai Xin, Si Tu Luoyu finally abandoned his earlier role as a peacemaker and good-natured person. His expression turned cold, with a hint of wariness appearing on his face.
“As expected of the third-ranked expert on the list of masters—truly living up to the reputation.”
“Hmph.”
After landing, Gu Dú Cháng Lè still felt numbness in his hands. He glared at Si Tu Luoyu and then shot Kai Xin a resentful look. The contempt in his eyes vanished, replaced by intense vigilance and seriousness.
In fact, just moments earlier, when Si Tu Luoyu struck, even he thought Si Tu Luoyu intended to stop the fight between the two. But the two palms he sent were one real and one fake—the palm aimed at him was weak and insubstantial, while the one aimed at Kai Xin seemed soft too, yet it revealed a deadly threat in the end!
In other words…
Si Tu Luoyu’s pretense of mediating was fake; he actually wanted to take this opportunity to ally with him and deal a devastating blow—or even kill—Kai Xin. Once Kai Xin was severely injured, combining the elite members of the two gangs would make it easy to eliminate the four of them on the spot.
But what they never expected was that Kai Xin detected such a hidden attack in advance…
Almost the moment Si Tu Luoyu struck, Gu Dú Cháng Lè lost control of his body for a split second, forced to change direction and take Si Tu Luoyu’s blow in place of Kai Xin.
Si Tu Luoyu was also very unlucky…
Not only was he injured by Gu Dú Cháng Lè’s palm, but Kai Xin’s attack, having suddenly changed direction, unleashed several “Shadow Wind Kicks” that the scheming Si Tu Luoyu took all in full force. Caught off guard, he suffered internal injuries and was sent flying far away.
Many people didn’t see this clearly.
But from the expressions of Kai Xin and Si Tu Luoyu, it was easy to guess that Si Tu Luoyu had some ulterior motives, which were thwarted by Kai Xin in time.
“The leader of the Gu Dú Gang is arrogant and conceited, while the leader of the Si Tu Gang is cunning and calculating—turns out they’re the same kind of people…”
Yào Shí also realized what Si Tu Luoyu had done. With a cold smile, he stepped forward two steps: “It seems the Xia Yi Gate was also framed by you?”
As his gaze swept over the experts of the two gangs, many of them showed signs of shame.
“…”
Feeling the dissatisfaction among their followers behind them, Si Tu Luoyu and Gu Dú Cháng Lè both frowned.
“Those who achieve great things don’t care about trivial matters,” Si Tu Luoyu said in a grave tone.
“These things can only be understood once you become the leader in the future, but there are some things you will never comprehend in your entire lives!” As soon as he said those words, his gaze turned cold. He raised his arm abruptly and swung it down without hesitation, issuing a firm order: “Kill them! Go!”
Happy was already prepared for Situ Luoyu’s complete turn against them. Before the members of the two gangs could move, he gave a low shout, and the four of them rushed backward at once.
“Still want to run?”
Situ Luoyu smiled coldly. Since they had broken off relations, he had to ensure that the enemy died at least once so that they couldn’t pose a threat to him in the future. Thus, he was determined to keep these people in Fox Cave! Earlier, someone had already sent a message to the others on the second floor to encircle them.
Moreover, among Happy’s four companions, only that strange middle-aged man seemed to possess superior light-speed movement skills. It was almost impossible for them to get away.
More than twenty experts rushed out of the secret room in pursuit…
This was bad!
Yao Shi was extremely anxious. He really hadn’t expected the Changle Sect and Luoyu Gate to be so deeply entangled, and for them to take the initiative to cause trouble. Now that things had reached this point, he was very uneasy, as only he in the group could move freely among the enemies without being trapped. Happy and the other two had only ordinary, lower-level master-level light-speed skills, making escape nearly impossible.
But this operation was his plan…
“You go first! I’ll hold them off for a while.”
Yao Shi whispered to Happy, only to see a face that showed no signs of panic.
Calmly, he threw two flying knives backward. Happy glanced at an exit not far ahead, a smile flashing in his eyes, and whispered instructions:
“Listen carefully! Once inside, split up immediately and hide behind the walls!”
“…”
The three were initially stunned, but upon meeting Happy’s confident gaze, they nodded firmly.
More than twenty experts pursued closely, getting closer and closer.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
When they reached the passage barely five meters wide, Yao Shi and Lei Zhan darted to the left, while Xiao Bei went to the right, disappearing from the sight of the elite members of the two gangs from ten meters behind.
“Chase them!”
Gudu Changle and Situ Luoyu, both skilled in light-speed movement, led the pursuit.
“We can’t let them escape!!”
Before his words faded, the two suddenly saw Happy throw something backward. It looked round, with a dull metallic sheen, and didn’t seem like a hidden weapon or anything similar.
But…
At this seemingly joyful gesture, the two still instinctively felt a hint of wariness and unease. They stepped aside to let pass that metal object that resembled a fruit.
A device!!!
The moment the object flew past them, their inexplicable unease surged a hundredfold. They even heard a clear sound of metal springs coming from the device.
“Bad!!”
“Get out of the way!!!”
Frightened, they quickly channeled their internal energy to strengthen their protective qi.
Those behind them also activated their protective barriers!
In an instant, various colored glows appeared around everyone as they stared in awe and fear at the pear-shaped metal object lying on the ground…
“Tap!!”
The moment it hit the ground, the pear-shaped object seemed to trigger some mechanism. With a crisp sound, it opened up, revealing countless… black needles inside!
“Boom!”
The ground shook as a circle of black light flashed through the cave.
It was just a moment.
The countless fine black needles inside the pear-shaped object vanished without a trace.
The skilled warriors from the Changle Sect and Luoyu Gate felt a flash of black light before them, as if their bodies were being bitten by countless mosquitoes—cold and numb all over.
What was happening?
Their bodies stiffened, and their protective qi and internal energy dissipated on their own. They looked at each other in confusion, while drops of blood fell from their bodies… Tiny red spots quickly appeared on everyone’s faces—terrifying!
Even Situ Luoyu and Gu Dulu Changle, despite their strong protective barriers, couldn’t withstand the invasion of those countless needles. Their bodies were riddled with small wounds, their dantians damaged, and they stood there covered in blood…
More than twenty people quickly turned into twenty bloodied figures!
It was unclear who was the first to give in.
“Bang!”
Without any sign of life, they collapsed to the ground. Then, the elite warriors of the two factions, as if infected by some deadly virus, fell one after another, their bodies stiffening as they collapsed.
Including Situ Luoyu and Gu Dulu Changle, whose faces had already turned cold and stiff!
