Chapter 363 - Bodyguard In The Darkness

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

By right, for someone who had painted a target on his back, and whose men were all dead, he should be trembling in terror.

But the director looked like an emotionless beast who feared nothing…

What the hell are you laughing for?!

Solely based on his laughter, those unfamiliar with the situation might be expecting a Class A master hiding behind him.

Honestly speaking, it was really a mere misunderstanding. The director himself did not want to laugh as well…

The geniuses exchanged startled looks. Last time, the man’s laughter tricked them into thinking that there was an ambush, which turned out to be a false alarm.

Obviously that was a scam. But the question was, how could you use the same trick again on those Heavenly Warriors?

Laugh! Laugh harder! You’ll be crying later!

This time, the geniuses did not fall into his trap, “Burst in and kill him!”

Their chase was not smooth either. Some were injured along the way and were still sulking.

As for the other side, Liu Dazhe’s people had made up their mind to kill their way out. Initially the Heavenly Network had arranged for Lu Shu to deal with them, which should not be a problem at all. But who would expect that the Mianchi team would run into the Tongguan black market, the most knotty of all, by chance.

Liu Dakun was aware that there were seven Class D experts from the Heavenly Network outside. But with more people on his side and his ability as a strength-type Class C, they did have a higher chance of breaking out of the encirclement. As long as they could flee to the great northwest with their identities well concealed, they would be safe and in trusted hands.

In the past, there was no shortage of people trying to persuade him to join some Metahuman association for a good life outside. But Liu Dakun declined the offers as he preferred building up his own power in Tongguan.

Although he still objected to the idea of being someone else’s follower, but he did not have a choice now!

…

As for Lu Shu, he sprinted to the inn, which was only a stone’s throw away from the market, and started shouting, “Come down! Quick! Someone’s here to steal our mission!”

Clever trick. It was a bitter hatred that someone intended to deprive them of their ladder to Class C!

Chen Zuan and the rest hurried to the stairs, whereas Cao Qingci directly jumped off from the fourth floor, with her sword and Lu Shu’s spears in her hands!

Cao Qingci had already arrived downstairs before Chen Zuan got to the door…

Sometimes one’s mentality was hard to change even if you had special powers, for instance taking the stairs to go down…

In the next second, Chen Zuan and the rest immediately dashed back and threw themselves out of the window. Four floors was really a piece of cake for them.

After everyone gathered downstairs, Chen Zuan glanced around in the darkness, “Where’s Cheng Qiuqiao?”

Cheng Qiuqiao’s face darkened at his side, “Brother Zuan, I’m here.” His face was seriously dark…

Chen Zuan directed his gaze to the source of the voice and drew a startled breath, “During the day I never realize you were so dark!”

Not bothered to waste anymore time on him, Lu Shu smacked him on the back of his head, “He’s your bodyguard in the darkness!”

“From Chen Zuan’s distress, +666!”

“From Cheng Qiuqiao’s distress, +666!”

Are you saying my face is coal black?

Cao Qingci tossed the spears to Lu Shu, “Go!”

Taking his spears out, Lu Shu started running at the top of his speed. Lu Xiaoyu had already messaged him about the situation in the room, and alerted him of the presence of a Class C, who appeared to be of the strength type.

Lu Shu was confused after reading the text… Had Lu Xiaoyu begun her move? So fast?!

But there was no time for concern. Leading the six people behind, Lu Shu hurried on his journey. If they were too late, the Mianchi team might…

Before they reached the market, they saw the seven students running in their direction, with a group of people chasing and shouting behind, “Hahahaha, stop there!”

Since when was the black market so arrogant?! I thought they were a low-profile group? Lu Shu was puzzled.

In fact, it was not Liu Dakun’s original intention to chase them. But since they had lost all their money and magical stones, his evil plan was triggered at the sight of the seven standard swords in those students’ hands. Abroad, one single sword could be exchanged for a huge sum.

Unexpectedly, though, one of the students awakened to his power and fended them off for a while.

When the Mianchi team saw Lu Shu and Cao Qingci’s group, they shouted, “Run!”

They were all aware that they could not win against the Class C man. But at the same instant, Lu Shu suddenly sprung into the air, his body bending like an iron bow, propelling his two spears towards Liu Dakun and his people!

Liu Dakun was immediately alarmed. He himself was a strength-type Metahuman, but it seemed the young man’s ability was not below his! He knew he could never fling the spears so hard that it blew up a big cavity in the ground after piercing through a man!

In a split second, Cao Qingci dove herself into the crowd. In the blink of an eye, her sword had already slit open a man’s throat, the blade glistening in the darkness.

Fast and elegant. But it was actually her first kill. She had only killed skeletons before!

Cao Qingci had seized the right opportunity. When everyone was disoriented by the spears, she slipped in like an assassin, reaping lives like a ghost dancing under the moonlight.

Chen Zuan and the other members were dumbstruck. Their collaboration was almost seamless, as though any external help would be unnecessary, “Awesome!”

Chen Zuan, “Brilliant!”

Cheng Qiuqiao: “Bravo!”

The Mianchi team was in shock, are you not going to help, are you cheerleaders?!

Before the Mianchi team could react, Liu Dakun suddenly turned, “Hahahaha, run!”

Lu Shu, “…?”

What was so funny? Am I a joke or have you lost your mind?

Lu Xiaoyu had not told him the truth, so he did not think along that line at all. Thus, his first reaction was, fine, you may run as you wish, but why the hell are you laughing?

As a strength-type Class C, Liu Dakun could actually run away if he decided to abandon his men.

But before he could get far, a strong-built man suddenly emerged from the corner. He stood there and lowered his waist, lifted his arms and threw a punch.

In the next instant, a tiger sign sprung out from his back. With a loud growl, the punch swept across the streets, yanked the leaves off the branches and rolled forward with an unstoppable power!

Lu Shu let out a sigh of relief. He should have seen it coming. In the central area, how would Li Yixiao forgo an opportunity of babysitting?

Liu Dakun was surely dead.
