Chapter 1711 - 1712: Full Army on Alert
Chapter 1711 - 1712: Full Army on Alert
Under the pitch-black night, torrential rain poured down!Rustling sounds!
Leading Holy Mansion’s forces were a bald man, a man with a poker face, and a flamboyant, sexy woman. They swiftly divided into three groups, surrounding the grove where Ye Xuan and the others were hiding, with a momentum like a raging inferno.
At a glance, the total number reached over two hundred!
Moreover, every one of these two hundred people was extraordinary, emanating a strong scent of blood. They were clearly the elite among elites!
The grove surrounded by three groups was impervious!
In an instant, the atmosphere was extremely tense, with killing aura skyrocketing!
The bald man deeply gazed at the dark grove, took out his walkie-talkie, and ordered in a deep voice, "Advance, tighten!"
With the order, the groups of over two hundred people grasped their weapons tightly, focusing their attention as they forged towards the grove.
Slow and cautious!
This siege with a shrinking maneuver, although slow in pace, was more reliable, especially as the enemy had all been poisoned. Such a combat strategy was almost foolproof!
As hundreds from the Holy Mansion slowly approached, the originally small grove seemed to have even the air become heavy.
However, Ye Xuan and his companions at the center of the grove appeared to be under no pressure.
Ye Xuan sat on the heavy metal box, smoking a cigarette, the glowing red end particularly conspicuous in the dark.
Chiba Sakurako squatted in front of Ye Xuan, carefully examining the bruises on his chest, with a worried expression: "Brother Ye, are you sure it’s nothing?"
"I’m sure." Ye Xuan smiled and said, "It’s just a little painful, not really an injury."
Upon hearing Ye Xuan’s confirmation, Chiba Sakurako secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, her heart was filled with shock.
For the sake of making the Holy Mansion relax their vigilance, Ye Xuan deliberately slowed down outside and got shot.
Although this shot didn’t compare to the sniper shot in the Northern Federation some time ago, it was still a bullet!
A bullet strong enough to pierce through anything landed on Ye Xuan, yet it failed to penetrate his skin, leaving only a bruise... This is...
This is simply unbelievable!
One must know Ye Xuan wasn’t wearing any bulletproof gear!
Equal in shock were the others present.
Even Ye Xuan himself couldn’t help but be amazed.
Qi Gong Masters are incredibly powerful.
The strength of that energy gas utterly exceeded human imagination!
Though Ye Xuan wasn’t surprised by this invincible bulletproof defense, as he had heard Lang Canghai mention the invincible stance of Qi Gong Masters long ago.
But knowing is one thing, experiencing firsthand is another!
The footsteps approaching from outside the grove became closer.
Ye Xuan came back to his senses, his sword-like eyebrows slightly furrowed: "They’re here, pay attention, let’s not mess up the script."
"Yes!"
Everyone responded.
Then, they began various performances.
Chi Lian leaned against a large tree, showing a pained and weak expression, barely breathing.
Chiba Sakurako, Kirin, and the Witch similarly displayed symptoms of severe poisoning, staggering pitifully.
Iron Tower Bear Mountain went even further; the big guy simply lay in a muddy puddle, somehow learned a skill somewhere, foaming at the mouth and rolling his eyes like he was dying.
Ye Xuan was even somewhat sickened...
Shush shush shush!
Several beams of intense flashlight light projected onto Ye Xuan and the others.
Ye Xuan’s face changed drastically, hurriedly tugging at his collar to cover the bruise on his chest, then pressing it with his large hand as if to stop bleeding, fearing to be discovered.
"Hahaha, Black Emperor, you really got shot!"
A mocking voice rang out.
Ye Xuan’s lips twitched as he looked up, seeing a bald Western face, a sexy woman, a poker-faced man, and hundreds of assassins.
"You’re from Holy Mansion?"
Ye Xuan stared hard at the bald man and the others, grinning coldly: "Is this all Holy Mansion can do, playing these sinister tricks? Poisoning, ambush, you’re dishonorable!"
"Dishonorable?" The bald man sneered: "Black Emperor, are you joking with me? You Yan Country people often say, the winners are kings, the losers are bandits, don’t you understand this principle?"
Ye Xuan clenched his teeth, face ashen with anger.
Probably intimidated by the Black Emperor’s fame for too long, seeing Ye Xuan’s furious appearance now, the elite assassins of Holy Mansion felt very pleased.
"Originally, we were worried the night’s operation wouldn’t go smoothly; it seems we overthought. The Black Emperor indeed has skills, but he can’t always be alert or invincible!"
The flamboyant sexy woman crossed her arms and looked at Ye Xuan with interest: "Black Emperor, surrender. We only want the Source Stone. If you cooperate, perhaps we’ll spare your life."
"That’s right, our target has always been the Source Stone, nobody cares if you live or die!" The poker-faced man said: "Having the Source Stone in your hands is a waste of such a treasure!"
"Your teammates have already fallen, not only unable to help you but becoming your burden at times like this."
The bald man also chuckled coldly: "Black Emperor, everyone in the world knows you’re loyal, and I can promise you, just hand over the Source Stone, and we’ll immediately give you the antidote. Hehe, don’t make the mistake of sacrificing your teammates for something you can’t protect."
Clearly, even though Ye Xuan appeared severely injured, the bald man and the others were still cautious, or else they wouldn’t just stand there talking.
No choice, having learned from experience, Holy Mansion had suffered too much due to Black Emperor in recent times.
And this was exactly what Ye Xuan was pleased to see.
Ye Xuan tightly furrowed his brows, shook his head, and said: "What Source Stone? I have no idea what you’re talking about!"
He said this while secretly pushing the metal box he sat on back.
Behind him was grass, he wanted to hide the metal box.
But obviously, under so many lights, no matter how discreetly Ye Xuan acted, he couldn’t escape the sharp eyes of the bald man and others.
"Playing dumb?"
The bald man squinted, his eyes fixed on the metal box, unable to look away, full of greed: "Then let’s not talk about the Source Stone, what we want is the metal box you’re sitting on, hand it over!"
Ye Xuan paused, his face changed drastically.
"All units be on alert!"
The poker-faced man raised his hand and shouted: "Inside the metal box under Black Emperor lies the Source Stone we want. Everyone keep a close watch, don’t give Black Emperor a chance to sneak any tricks!"
