Conference room of the General Administration of Customs in Beijing.
The chess king held a slightly burnt chess piece in his hand, took a bite, smacked his lips, and surprisingly nodded in satisfaction.
"Roasted humans actually have a unique flavor; how come I never noticed before!"
The chess king's tone was filled with deep regret, which made Old Huo's face twitch.
"If he keeps killing like this, aren't you afraid it will ruin your plans?"
"Heh, ridiculous! This city is so big, with so many people, and the number of masks keeps increasing. How could he possibly kill them all by himself? He's just trying to intimidate others so they won't dare to wear masks. He's too young and doesn't understand human greed."
"Maybe!"
Old Master Huo sighed softly, his eyes filled with worry.
He knew that Xia Tianqiong was going in the wrong direction, but he couldn't tell her.
...
At a certain intersection, all was quiet.
However, a large number of masked people were hidden in more than a dozen shops in the surrounding area.
In one of the rooms, five or six people were staring at their phones, which were showing Xia Tianqiong's live stream.
"Boss Chen, he's almost at this street corner, what do we do?"
Boss Chen said irritably, "What do you mean, 'what to do'? Just do it. He ambushed us earlier, not giving anyone a chance to attack. If we ambush him this time, we won't give him a chance to make a move either."
After careful consideration, the men realized that Boss Chen was right.
That person acted so suddenly that no one had a chance to fight back.
If we take the initiative and cripple or kill him, then we have nothing to fear.
Standing by the window, Chen looked at the purple world outside. "I'll make the first move and launch a sneak attack. You guys take a video with your phones. If we can kill him, our organization will be famous, and we can recruit more members in the future."
"What if the boss fails?" one of the underlings asked.
"If I fail to kill him in one strike, I will retreat immediately. Then everyone will unleash their magic together. I refuse to believe that a barrage of attacks will not be enough to kill him!"
The younger brother chimed in, "This guy does have some skill, but as the saying goes, if you don't show off, you won't die. He's destined to die at our hands."
As they were talking, a figure walked quickly towards them from the front of the street, broadcasting live as he went.
When he reached the center of the intersection, he suddenly stopped and turned around to look.
Boss Chen was slightly taken aback, wondering if he had been discovered.
He hardened his heart, thinking, "So what if they find out? I can still kill you."
"I went."
He uttered those words, then his figure suddenly transformed into a cloud of purple mist, and then vanished into thin air.
Dozens of eyes from the surrounding dozen or so rooms were watching the crossroads.
Then, purple mist emerged from the man's shadow, and a long sword pierced out from the mist, heading straight for the man's back.
Ding!
The longsword seemed to strike metal or stone with a crisp sound before breaking.
Hidden in the mist, Boss Chen was filled with shock. What made his scalp tingle even more was seeing the other person holding up a phone with the camera pointed at him.
It seemed they had known all along that he would appear behind them.
"Hi! Hello, please say hello to the audience!"
Xia Tianqiong didn't turn her head, and spoke to her phone screen.
Old Chen's hair stood on end, his body tensed, and he was about to use his magic to leave.
But to his horror, he discovered that a strange force had appeared around him, directly dispersing the surrounding purple mist and completely exposing his figure.
Before he could react, a large hand had already grabbed his neck.
"Don't go! The audience wants to see how I torture you!"
Xia Tianqiong held up the phone stand with her left hand and grabbed Chen Laoda with her right, her smile as bright as ever.
Chen Laoda was limp and terrified, but he still begged for mercy, "Big brother, don't kill me, everything is negotiable."
Just then, a loud shout came from the street: "Brothers, he killed Boss Chen! Let's attack together and avenge Boss Chen!"
Old Chen's eyes widened instantly, then his face filled with rage. "I'm not dead yet!"
Before he could finish his sentence, dozens of people rushed out from more than a dozen surrounding shops.
Surprisingly, all of them wore red masks, most of which had the characters "相" (xiang, meaning minister) and "象" (xiang, meaning elephant) written on them, and a few had the character "炮" (pao, meaning cannon).
They didn't approach, but stood at a distance and unleashed their magic.
In an instant, all sorts of bizarre and wonderful tricks, like fireworks, rained down on Xia Tianqiong at the crossroads.
Chen Laoda was dumbfounded, cursing inwardly. He knew his underlings wanted to kill him too.
As various tricks came crashing down on him, he instinctively closed his eyes.
But after a few seconds, a light and cheerful voice suddenly sounded beside him: "Guys, what do you think of these trick performances?"
Old Chen suddenly opened his eyes and saw an invisible protective shield around him, blocking all the trick attacks from two meters away.
"What kind of trickery is this? It's incredibly powerful!"
He asked instinctively, but to his surprise, the other party replied, "It's not a trick, just a small method."
This is indeed not a trick; it is simply gathering the power of reincarnation around.
The last time I had an epiphany at the Wujian Restaurant, my understanding of the power of reincarnation reached a new level. Even without using trickery, simply applying it has an effect similar to trickery.
"Alright, goodbye everyone. I'll send you on your way first, and then I'll send your brothers to keep you company, so you won't be lonely on the road to the underworld."
"Big brother, I was wrong, please forgive me, I'm willing..."
Before Boss Chen could finish speaking, his head exploded with a "poof," spraying blood onto the phone screen.
