Chapter 92 - Interrogate (1/2)

‘An explosive arrow!’

Ou Yangming widened his eyes because he recognized the explosion.

‘An explosive arrow, it was definitely the sound of an explosive arrow.’ When he sensed the familiar impact coming from it, he quickly understood Jiang Chengwei’s actions.

After Zhang Yinli sent him flying, Jiang Chengwei pretended to be heavily injured instead of getting up right away. As such, Zhang Yinli dropped his guard.

Perhaps everything had been planned by Jiang Chengwei from the start.

In the beginning, it seemed like he had shot all his explosive arrows, but he had actually left one for himself.

If Jiang Chengwei was still holding his bow, Zhang Yinli might still keep an eye on him, but an archer without his bow was like an ant to Zhang Yinli, hence Jiang Chengwei was no longer a threat.

However, the insignificant ant was now using Heaven and Earth as its bow, and its body as the arrow. Jiang Chengwei shot the most dazzling arrow in his life.

The explosive arrow on his body soon exploded, causing numerous steel shards to burst in all directions. Additionally, there was a drizzle of blood in that area.

“Ah!” Zhang Yinli roared. A white light appeared on his body at that moment, which appeared to be a round s.h.i.+eld that was floating in the void. Although it looked illusory, it blocked the shards completely.

Nonetheless, Zhang Yinli looked enraged and regretful.

Evidently, the price he had to pay to execute the move was so huge that he suffered physical pain.

Jiang Chengwei was not able to hit Zhang Yinli with his body. Though he had put his life on the line, which was truly unexpected, his path was blocked by the white light.

After the shards fell on the ground, the furious Zhang Yinli went over to Jiang Chengwei’s corpse.

The corpse was already covered in holes, and was completely disfigured by the countless shards.

Even then, Zhang Yinli gritted his teeth and took a step forward to kick Jiang Chengwei’s neck. The kick was as fast as lightning, and as sharp as a saber, by which Jiang Chengwei’s head was kicked off at once.

Subsequently, Zhang Yinli proceeded to kick Jiang Chengwei’s dead body, which was sent flying away as a result and was nowhere to be found. He then tipped his toe and s.h.i.+fted to Ou Yangming’s side.

Zhang Yinli’s face finally looked hideous. The white light earlier was stimulated from his most powerful defensive treasure, which he had cherished very much because it could only be used once.

Who knew, the precious opportunity was wasted on an ant that he thought of as unimportant, thus his resentment toward Jiang Chengwei was not at all lesser than his grudge toward Ou Yangming.

“Young fella, quickly tell me where the Fire-absorbing Badge is, or I’ll make sure you end up like him. Not only will you die, but your family will suffer too!” Zhang Yinli shouted fiercely.

Ou Yangming looked fearful and was in disbelief when he looked at the head in front of him.

It was as if a ten-thousand-feet tall wave had surged inside him, and the fluctuating yet painful emotion that he felt at the moment was indescribable.

Even though Ou Yangming had not interacted much with Jiang Chengwei, a few moments flashed before his eyes at that instant; moments where the squad leader made things difficult for him in the past, and when the leader eventually respected him and fawned over him in every way possible.

“I applied for home leave as I’m visiting my younger sister in the prefecture!”

The words were still ringing in Ou Yangming’s ears, but the person who said it could not see his younger sister anymore.

Ou Yangming’s lips trembled a little. He was neither afraid nor having a heartache because he did not share such a relations.h.i.+p with Jiang Chengwei.

Nevertheless, he was full of rage at that moment; a rage that could burn everything down including him.

The more infuriated he was, the calmer and clearer his mind was.

In particular, along with his mental power, the purple light in his head rose to a new height.

Ou Yangming observed Zhang Yinli’s every move. While he could not resist the man in terms of power, he had transcended himself in terms of mental state.

Instead of looking angry, Ou Yangming began to calm down.

Zhang Yinli furrowed his eyebrows. He quickly looked around him but did not find anything unusual.

He wondered, ‘I actually became fussy and overly suspicious after that ant sneaked an attack on me.’

As he was comforting himself, he did not notice the mental power in the void that existed in an incomprehensible way.

Ou Yangming closed his eyes and asked slowly, “How do you know that the Fire-absorbing Badge isn’t with me now?”

Zhang Yinli scoffed. “I have another Fire-absorbing Badge with me now. If two badges are present in the same area, they naturally produce an induction. Since nothing is coming from your body, it proves that the badge isn’t with you now.”

“If that’s the case, you’ve searched my residence too?” Ou Yangming questioned.

“Not only your residence but your smithing workshop and even Old Craftsman’s place were also searched.” Zhang Yinli sneered.

Ou Yangming suddenly looked up at him. “Old Craftsman?”

Zhang Yinli curled his lips. “That’s right. If you refuse to realize your mistake and insist on keeping the Fire-absorbing Badge for yourself, Old Craftsman will also die because of you!”
