Chapter 92: Life on the Line (1/2)

Xu Yue's serious question put Liu Ye in a daze.

Could he really fight someone who has probably spent countless hours mastering his elements? It wasn't a game where he could die infinitely. One wrong move and he would be dead for real.

”Do you know how to awaken?” Liu Ye questioned confused. If she knew, why didn't she tell him about it earlier?

”I wasn't supposed to use it until later but we don't seem to have a choice,” Xu Yue replied as he held his face. ”I have a Water Stone sitting in my safe. If you consume it, maybe you can awaken on the spot.”

Liu Ye widened his eyes, immediately tempted to try it but his rationality kicked in. If they bet everything on fighting this man, they would lose the chance to escape.

”The people that chose you as a candidate are coming to save us,” Liu Ye informed seriously. ”As long as we can stay safe till then, we will have better chances to survive. Even if I can awaken, I wouldn't risk trying to fight him.”

Although he was confident of his skills in-game, real life was much different. Who knew if Waterbending worked the same as in the game.

Rumble...

As soon as he finished speaking, they heard the ice block move through the stone pathway. Liu Ye peeked through the pillar and saw the ice fortress paving its way. He didn't hesitate and pulled Xu Yue back inside the villa.

They saw Leader Xu get up from the floor full of glass and ice but he seemed fine despite multiple scratches so she quickly skipped towards the stairs.

”Everyone! Listen to Liu Ye, I will be right back!”

”What is going on?!” Leader Xu questioned grimly as he wiped the blood from his face. ”Do you know anything?”

All the guards shared the same shock and disbelief while Leader Xu seemed calmer than normal. He looked at him suspiciously as if he already noticed the two of them were not scared either.

”The man outside has the power to control water element. If we don't focus, he will reach the villa and kill us all,” Liu Ye called out sternly as he gazed at all men in the room. ”Grab your weapons and shoot at the same spot. Even though he is powerful, he is still scared to get shot! We only need one bullet!”

He didn't waste time and pulled out his pistol to show an example by shooting through the window.

Bang!

As soon as the bullet pierced into the ice, the young man stopped advancing.

”See! He can't advance and defend at the same time. He doesn't have infinite power either!” Liu Ye cried out. ”I know you are scared but that's our only chance!”

The guards swallowed hard and finally listened by grouping up near the available windows.
