Li Qun asked nervously, "Where are those people?"
His trusted subordinates were also confused: "I don't know, I didn't see anyone."
"It's already late, people are about to arrive, where could they have gone at this time?" Li Qun was so anxious that he was running around. He calmed himself down and thought carefully about the plan.
There were people lying in ambush all around, and Zhou Yan was waiting at the back. However, the people in the ambush were his men. Although they were all elites, he was not sure if he could defeat Ye Xiao, who had once pinned dozens of people in the mud without even lifting a finger. There was Zhou Yan, but that guy said he was a third-level person, but in fact, he was just a psychopath.
The guy with the mustache told him to delay as much as possible, but what tricks did he have?
Li Qun had never thought of killing Ye Xiao. He just wanted them to get out of here quickly and not bother him. But now it was no longer a question of whether he wanted to or not. Since he had taken this step, he certainly hoped to kill Ye Xiao in one fell swoop.
I just hope those few people are more reliable.
He didn't know that the people he regarded as the main force of this Hongmen Banquet had already abandoned him and gone to ambush elsewhere, and they had missed and were very upset.
Ye Xiao has already arrived here.
He openly brought a team with him, including Lin Tan Tan, Xu Li, Mei Baisheng who had the ability to control the field, and Fan Fang who could freeze the surroundings. In addition, there were three people with special abilities, one with thunder ability, one with the ability of perspective, and one with space ability.
Naturally, everyone except him was stopped.
But Ye Xiao ignored them and waved his hand. A few gusts of wind pushed away the people blocking the way, and the guns pointed at them were all pressed down. He led his men into Li Qun's camp.
Li Qun's territory was quite good: a vast expanse of flat land, numerous buildings, and numerous training grounds, housing tens of thousands of soldiers. Of course, these soldiers were somewhat sparsely populated; only a small portion were truly full-time military personnel, while many were recruited by Li Qun himself. Even so, these tens of thousands of men were Li Qun's trusted troops and his greatest support.
Normally, Li Qun would feel very safe when surrounded by this army, which was also the biggest reason why he finally agreed to cooperate. But when Ye Xiao walked in with seven people, he still felt panicked.
He swallowed hard, forced a smile and said, "Come on, sit down."
In order to delay time, he asked someone to prepare some food and reluctantly pretended to invite Ye Xiao to dinner. Then he told Ye Xiao that he was going to the capital and that most of his manpower and entire foundation here would probably be given to Ye Xiao. They would then make peace.
The way he was racking his brains to come up with something made others anxious for him.
Ye Xiao didn't want to beat around the bush with him: "You called me over here to ambush me, right? You don't have many powerful psychics under your command. Now you have Zhou Yan, but there must be more than him. How many external reinforcements have you invited? Call them all out. Don't waste time, let's do it quickly."
Li Qun stared at him.
Ye Xiao smiled and stretched out his hand. Li Qun couldn't help but fall towards him and was pressed on the chair beside him. Mei Baisheng pulled out a rope and tied him tightly to the chair. He also hung a black thing around his neck.
Mei Bosheng laughed maliciously and said, "It's remote controlled. If you don't behave, poof! You'll be blown to pieces without a single bone left."
Li Qun was stunned. Several of his confidants in the field were unable to react in time. The man who had been staying by his side as a close guard did react, but he was tripped by an inexplicable force after taking just one step and was pinned to the ground, unable to move.
Ye Xiao smiled faintly and said, "Let the irrelevant people step away. This is a personal grudge. There is no need to add unnecessary cannon fodder."
Li Qun was still speechless.
Mei Bosheng pressed on his hands, and a crackling sound was heard, followed by an indescribable pain that reached his mind. Li Qun screamed and looked down to find that his hands seemed to be corroded by the venom, and his flesh was bubbling and turning black.
He hurriedly shouted: "Back off, everyone, back off, the plan is canceled!" Damn it, what an ambush, these guys are not human at all!
Ye Xiao: "Retreat five hundred meters."
"Five hundred meters, retreat five hundred meters!" Li Qun scolded several hesitant confidants in the field: "Get out of here, why are you still standing here!" The flesh on his hands was almost rotten to the bones!
He turned around and said to Ye Xiao: "It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. It's not that I want to make things difficult for you, I was forced to do it!"
Ye Xiao tilted his head slightly and asked the one with thunder ability and the one with clairvoyance ability to go out and take a look. They came back and said that the guards and ambushers outside had indeed retreated, and there was no one else upstairs except for one person.
The clairvoyant looked at the ceiling and said, "It's a guy with half his head cut off. He's right above it."
Ye Xiao raised his eyes to look at the ceiling: "There is only one Zhou Yan, where are the others?"
"They ran away, all ran away, damn it! I'm not talking about you, those guys were just making fun of me, they said they received a mission to kill you, and that it was approved by Min Yande, and asked me to cooperate, and they also said that even if I didn't cooperate, you wouldn't let me go if you saw me and Zhou Yan getting together, I was forced to do it!" Li Qun cried, he didn't understand how it turned out like this, he knew that he was useless, otherwise he wouldn't just talk about making Ye Xiao look bad and never dared to do it for real, but he never thought he was so incompetent.
He didn't know that it wasn't that his people were weak, but that she herself was too weak. Once he, the core figure, was controlled, and he gave orders to everyone to retreat, not to mention tens of thousands of people, even hundreds of thousands of people would have no choice but to stay back.
Ye Xiao saw that he was not easily frightened and valued his life, so he asked the irrelevant people to leave the battlefield first.
But he didn't expect that the real killer move waiting for him was only Zhou Yan.
After making sure that there was no one else nearby, Ye Xiao was not in a hurry to interrogate Li Qun. He looked at the ceiling and waved his hand gently to let everyone disperse. Then four wind blades were sent out, slashing across the ceiling. A huge square cement block fell down, and a person fell down with it, and it happened to hit the table where a lot of food was placed.
As soon as this man fell down, an invisible wind net was about to wrap him up. He suddenly released a huge fireball, shattering the invisible wind net, and pounced towards Ye Xiao at an incredible speed, arriving almost instantly.
At this moment, a circle of black substance enveloped him, making him feel like he was walking in an extremely sticky slurry. His speed suddenly slowed down, and his skin began to corrode with a hissing sound. At the same time, a layer of white ice spread from the soles of his feet and covered him, making his joints creak with every step he took.
This was Mei Baisheng and Fan Fang attacking at the same time.
The lightning-type ability user is ready to release lightning at any time.
The one with the clairvoyant ability, the one with the spatial ability, Lin Tan, Xu Li and Li Qun were all outside the battle circle, in a very safe place.
So when Zhou Yan walked in front of Ye Xiao, stretched out his corroded hand from the black area, grabbed Ye Xiao's collar, and stared at him with his one eye, Ye Xiao did not react immediately.
Instead, he looked directly into the eye.
Zhou Yan seemed to be insensitive to the pain in his body. He seemed to have grasped Ye Xiao's weakness and asked him repeatedly with pride: "Who are you? Who are you? Who are you?"
Ye Xiao's gaze was sometimes scattered and sometimes focused. When it was scattered, he seemed to be sinking into an endless abyss, with resistance and struggle revealed in the depths of his eyes. When it was focused, his gaze was surprisingly bright and sharp.
He kept switching between these two states.
Lin Tantan was shocked. What was he doing?
"What happened?" The person next to him asked in a low voice.
Lin Tan Tan understood that Ye Xiao was resisting the effects of Zhou Yan's supernatural power. She was a little speechless. Was he trying to squeeze out the last bit of value from Zhou Yan? Or was he still brooding over the last time he got tricked?
No, Ye Xiao’s condition was not so much about resisting Zhou Yan’s ability as it was about struggling with the problem itself.
She clearly saw a hint of suppressed pain in his eyes.
Who are you? Is there anything wrong with this question?
Most people would have no difficulty answering if asked this question, right?
Before she could think clearly, Ye Xiao closed his eyes, then reached out and grabbed Zhou Yan's hand. Everyone saw that Zhou Yan was holding a red-hot fire thorn in his hand. Ye Xiao pulled his hand away, and with a slight push, Zhou Yan was thrown to the ground. Zhou Yan screamed and tried to get up, but half of his forehead was suddenly pierced by a wind blade.
His body stiffened and he fell to the ground, motionless.
Blood gushed out.
Lin Tan Tan came to Ye Xiao's side. He still had his eyes closed. He took a deep breath before slowly opening them. His eyes were full of bloodshot, but his gaze was still clear, and his expression was as calm and resolute as usual, as if nothing had happened.
Others would only think that he had put in some effort to fight against Zhou Yan just now, but Lin Tan Tan felt a little sorry for him.
Did he just go through some kind of struggle in his heart?
She couldn't help but hold his arm. Ye Xiao also held the back of her hand and said to the others, "Be careful not to get close to him."
He looked at Zhou Yan lying on the ground. This time he wanted to see how he would survive.
After waiting for about three minutes, when everyone didn't know why they had to wait any longer, Zhou Yan's body suddenly shook. He opened his eyes again, and after a moment of confusion, he stared straight at Ye Xiao: "You! You killed me! You killed me again!"
As he said this, he pounced on Ye Xiao again, becoming even more irrational than before.
Everyone else opened their eyes wide in shock. Ye Xiao just waved his hand, and another wind blade sent Zhou Yan to death, this time piercing his heart.
Three minutes later, Zhou Yan woke up again, and then died again. This time his throat was cut, and he lay on the ground convulsing for a long time.
As he twitched, Ye Xiao hesitated and whispered to Lin Tan, "If you're afraid, don't watch. I want to see the limit of his ability."
Lin Tan Tan shook his head: "I'm not afraid."
Another lady present, Fan Fang, turned extremely pale, and Li Qun, who still had a dungaree around his neck, almost collapsed in his chair. What was going on?
When Zhou Yan woke up for the third time, Ye Xiao cut open his aorta and watched him die from excessive blood loss.
There will be no resurrection this time, he thought.
However, Zhou Yan came back to life. This time, he looked like a dried corpse. He walked unsteadily and spoke incoherently. He staggered towards Ye Xiao: "Ye...Xiao..."
Lin Tantan couldn't help but hold Ye Xiao's hand tightly.
Ye Xiao reached out and covered her eyes, looked at Zhou Yan, and sighed: "It's a very good ability, but unfortunately, it ends here." After that, a wind blade flashed, and Zhou Yan's head fell off.
As if realizing that he was being forced to death this time, Zhou Yan revealed a hysterical expression when his head fell to the ground, his single eye wide open in fear: "No, you can't kill me, I can't die, I am a triple-powered person, I have an immortal body, I am the chosen one! I still want to achieve the imperial hegemony!"
Amidst a series of extremely shrill howls of unwillingness, Lin Tantan slightly pulled Ye Xiao's hand down, but Zhou Yan suddenly turned his eyes to look at Lin Tantan: "You! It's all because of you!"
Ye Xiao frowned and was about to do something to help him die faster, but Zhou Yan's head finally breathed its last and froze there with its eyes open.
There's no way he'll be alive again.
Li Qun trembled all over, tilted his head, and was actually frightened to death.
The others also had different expressions.
Ye Xiao's expression was calm. He just asked the space ability user to take out gasoline, which he poured on the corpse with his own hands and burned it directly, not even sparing the blood on the ground.
As if he felt that this was too slow, he asked Mei Bosheng to call a few fire-type mutants to burn the corpse directly with their special fire. The corpse was quickly burned to ashes, but the house was still preserved relatively intact.
Lin Tantan's expression was extremely cold, and he just watched the scene quietly.
Zhou Yan, the future first president of the new century and the one who created the Zhou family's glorious period of hundreds of years, died in the third month of the apocalypse.
She couldn't describe her feelings. She had thought countless times that if she could come to the end of the world, she would kill Zhou Yan as soon as possible. She really hated this man, but now that he was really dead, she felt a little confused.
He is the president.
On the way back, she asked Ye Xiao: "Is he really the chosen one?"
Ye Xiao was thinking about something. He was stunned when he heard it, and then laughed: "It's just that he has an extra ability, and this ability is a bit special. What's the so-called Chosen Son? It's just that he thinks too highly of himself. And if he is the Chosen Son, then what am I, the person who killed the Chosen Son? Why didn't a thunderbolt fall from the sky to condemn me?"
Lin Tan Tan quickly covered his mouth and looked up at the sky. There was no rumbling thunder that shook the earth, nor did it look like a rainstorm was about to fall as if the whole world was mourning him. Zhou Yan's death did not seem to have any impact.
She breathed a sigh of relief and glared at Ye Xiao: "Don't talk nonsense!"
Ye Xiao, whose mouth was covered: "..."
The soft palm touched his lips, and he suddenly didn't dare to breathe too hard.
Lin Tantan was also a little embarrassed. She put down her hands, and her palms were slightly wet. She quietly wiped them on her clothes and whispered, "Some things can't be said casually." Maybe because she was a time traveler, she was more likely to believe in certain things and was also more taboo about them.
In the end, Zhou Yan glared at her with hatred, but she was not afraid at all. In fact, she would rather be the one who killed Zhou Yan, so that any impact and consequences would fall on her.
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. Yes, if Zhou Yan was really the chosen one, then what was Ye Xiao to him? Was he just a pawn who cleared the obstacles for the chosen one and then retired and died at the most appropriate moment?
There are not so many right and wrongs in this world, not so many destinies, all she has is that she hopes the person she likes can live a good life.
Lin Tantan's heart suddenly paused. The person he liked...
I knew I liked Ye Xiao before, but that kind of liking was just liking for an idol, a spiritual pillar. But now...
Looking at Ye Xiao with gentle and deep eyes, at this moment Lin Tantan suddenly couldn't convince himself anymore.
There's no way to convince him that his care for me is normal.
There is no way to convince myself that I have a clear conscience towards him.
The color on her face gradually faded and she slowly lowered her head.
The warm and soft touch in the palm of her hand seemed to be there all the time, and it became clearer and clearer, making her whole hand feel as if it was burned.
Ye Xiao looked at her changing expression with some concern: "What's wrong?"
Lin Tantan shook his head: "I'm a little tired."
Ye Xiao patted her head out of habit: "Then go back and rest."
Lin Tantan started: "Don't touch my head all the time."
"Um?"
Lin Tan Tan looked up and smiled: "I'm not a child. You can't always touch my head just because I'm shorter than you."
Ye Xiao looked down at her and always felt that there seemed to be something extra in her smile, which was not as cheerful as before.
She seemed a little sad, even... like she was about to cry.
The author has something to say: Tan Tan actually noticed something a long time ago, and there were foreshadowings in many places before, but she didn't dare to think deeply, and then Ye Xiao kept pretending... Why does she always feel that the CP she is a fan of has less sugar, except that there really isn't any (spreading hands), it's also because her mentality is gradually changing. Well, there's not much to show for this, you can think that I'm forcing an explanation.
So it's still a chase after this? Hahaha, have you forgotten about the five-member group? A moment of silence... I've been wanting to write about this later plot for a long time and I'm finally getting to it, hahaha!
