Chapter 26: Fatal Assassination! Blocking the Cousin
“I didn’t expect you to find me so quickly.”
Beneath the shadow of the office building, a tense atmosphere permeated the air.
“Heh~ Hehehe~”
Zhu Chen’s cold laughter echoed in the air, his figure appearing and disappearing like a phantom.
Li Yunbin and the others continuously compressed his space to move, slowly forming a encirclement.
In his afterimage state, Zhu Chen’s gaze locked onto Bai Yu, the Black Blood Blade in his hand flashing with a dark glow.
When he reappeared.
With a “swish,” he attacked Jiang Chen, but was blocked by a cyan barrier.
Zhu Chen’s figure retreated a step, once again turning into an afterimage, and then, with lightning speed, attacked Jiang Chen again!
Jiang Chen clasped his hands together, and a giant cyan palm descended like Mount Tai, grabbing forward.
With a “bang,” the black shadow seemed to be directly crushed by the palms, turning into a wisp of black qi.
Li Yunbin: “Decoy! Be careful!”
As he spoke, Zhu Chen had already appeared to Bai Yu’s right, a purplish-black dagger in his left hand, drawing a crescent moon in the air and aiming straight for Bai Yu’s neck.
Liu Feifei, who was guarding nearby, felt her heart skip a beat.
It’s over!
But the lightning spiritual energy within Bai Yu surged out like a tide, and with a flash, he retreated, leaving behind streaks of lightning afterimages in the air.
At the same time, he made a grasping motion in the air with his right hand, and a lightning whip appeared in Bai Yu’s right hand, continuously extending.
With a “crack,” it was whipped forward.
Terrifying blue lightning surged towards Zhu Chen.
“Boom~”
Zhu Chen dodged the attack with a sidestep, and the lightning struck the ground, leaving a scorched patch.
Zhu Chen, in his afterimage state, let out a cold laugh.
“Heh~ What a shame.”
Liu Feifei was angered by this perilous scene.
“You’re asking for death!”
The next moment, blazing flames erupted all over her body, distorting the surrounding air.
Serpents of fire writhed in the air, constantly pressuring the black shadow.
From Qin Wanqing’s body, purple spiritual energy poured out like a waterfall, forming streaks of purple light screens.
Zhu Chen’s space to move became narrower and narrower, forcing him to reveal himself.
Li Yunbin’s gaze was like lightning as he spotted an opening. Eight cyan flying swords behind him, with a whistling sound, shot towards Zhu Chen’s vital points like shooting stars chasing the moon!
“Roar~!”
Zhu Chen felt an unprecedented threat. With a roar, the Evil God’s power within him erupted completely. His muscles bulged, the Black Blood Blade became ferocious and terrifying, and evil qi overflowed.
The next moment, the Black Blood Blade slashed through the air, creating streaks of black moonlight, continuously bombarding the incoming fire serpents and flying swords.
The terrifying energy continuously shattered Qin Wanqing’s light screens, and the aftermath of the battle made the surrounding space feel like it was cracking.
Jiang Chen and Zhao Bin also attacked in succession.
Bai Yu, standing to the side, kept his eyes fixed on Zhu Chen, the lightning in his hand slowly transforming into a purple long spear.
Zhu Chen was also on guard.
However, his current strength was still too weak to deal with these members of the Seventh Group.
He could only continuously consume Zhu Chen’s own life potential, seeking a sliver of hope for survival.
As the two sides fiercely clashed, Zhu Chen suddenly seized an opening. Black qi surged from his body, and his form began to melt strangely, erupting into a massive burst of energy.
The sudden dense fog forced Li Yunbin and the others back.
Just as everyone was using their spiritual arts to suppress the black fog—
The dagger, carrying the Evil God’s power, sliced through the sky, aiming straight for Bai Yu!
Bai Yu reacted extremely quickly, and the purple lightning spear shot out with a roar, attempting to intercept this fatal blow.
But the dagger seemed to have a will of its own, instantly piercing through the lightning spear and once again aiming for Bai Yu’s heart.
In Li Yunbin’s perception, the energy level of this dagger’s current burst exceeded Level 10.
Bai Yu, in his current state, couldn’t possibly block it!
At the critical moment—
A golden light surged from within Bai Yu.
A golden page shot out, forming a light screen.
“Boom~”
The energies of two Ancient Gods collided, briefly distorting space.
The blazing flames in Liu Feifei’s hands immediately blasted towards the dagger, and the others also quickly used their abilities to suppress the dagger.
During the stalemate, the golden page generated a terrifying suction force. The black qi within the dagger was swallowed like a tide, gradually weakening.
The golden page grew brighter and brighter, converting the Evil God’s power into its own strength, replenishing its consumption.
Seeing this, Li Yunbin and the others descended from the air.
Bai Yu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
The abilities he displayed in this battle were all temporarily granted to him by this golden page.
Otherwise, it would have been dangerous.
“I didn’t expect the battle to be so dangerous.”
Liu Feifei walked over angrily, grabbed Bai Yu’s ear, and said, “How many things have you been hiding, you brat!? You worried me to death!”
“I’m innocent… When that guy attacked just now, my mind was almost blank, but my body moved on its own.”
He swore that his body had moved on its own!
After thinking for a moment, Bai Yu decided to be sincere and said, “Right, it was that golden light that rushed into my forehead when we were on the second floor just now.”
“I received a piece of information from it, which is that the Ancient God behind my golden page might have a grudge against this dagger.”
“It was also that golden light that temporarily granted me abilities.”
Liu Feifei naturally believed him immediately.
“Alright!”
She let out a rather proud “hmph.”
Li Yunbin pondered for a moment and felt that Bai Yu was telling the truth about eighty percent of the time.
While everyone was discussing, the golden page shone brightly, completely absorbing the black qi from the dagger.
As the last wisp of black qi disappeared, the dagger lost its power support and fell powerlessly from mid-air.
With a crisp metallic clink, the dagger landed on the cold ground.
The black fog dissipated, leaving a desiccated corpse on the ground.
The battle was over!
Compared to the capture of the Blood Slaves this morning, this was definitely extremely dangerous.
But at least they had eliminated a tricky opponent.
“Group Leader Li, is it over?”
Looking towards the voice, it was Deputy Director Xu.
“Yes.”
Deputy Director Xu subtly glanced at Bai Yu.
He had watched the entire battle closely. This newcomer, Bai Yu, clearly had many tricks up his sleeve!
And for some reason, the murderer had tried to kill Bai Yu repeatedly.
It was clear he wasn’t a simple character!
Afterward, Deputy Director Xu said they must have a good meal.
The other leaders, having witnessed the battle firsthand, naturally felt the same way.
As for the workers, they were stunned when the battle broke out, truly dumbfounded.
They thought they were dreaming.
It was only after the Factory Director, who was in the know, gave them a simple explanation of the situation that they were barely able to calm down.
Now that the battle was over, they would soon be interacting with investigators and slowly understanding this world.
Of course, the previously mentioned two thousand bonus would still be paid out.
The deceased whose heart was pierced would have their post-mortem and other follow-up work handled by specialists.
Zhu Chen’s parents would also need to be counselled.
This was a complex social issue.
A high-end restaurant nearby, with an average consumption of over a thousand per person.
Five leaders and six investigators.
After a brief conversation, these leaders also learned some information about Bai Yu.
Deputy Director Xu picked up his wine and raised his glass, saying, “Young and promising!”
Bai Yu picked up his drink and smiled, toasting back.
He didn’t like these kinds of occasions.
But to be honest, the feeling of a Big Boss personally toasting him, this elevation in status, was quite satisfying.
It was just the WeChat messages that chimed that made him a little unhappy.
“What’s your position now? Why are you hanging out with those leaders?”
“Hey, do you have the authority to arrange a job for me?”
“You went to school, went to college, and now you don’t recognize me as your sister, right?”
“My mom was so good to you, have you forgotten?”
“Hello, speak up!”
【 Please add the other party as a friend 】
Bai Yu: Peace at last!
