C255 Killing to silence (1/2)
Regarding Tian Kui, Yang Jun and Old Master Xue Qingming both had their own plans to play out. The only one who didn't feel anything about this matter was Ye Qian. Although Ye Qian had already gotten infected with the way Mortal Realm people thought after he was born, there were still some things that Ye Qian thought about with the same method as the Immortal World.
Facing enemies, especially enemies that could threaten the safety of oneself and the people around him, Ye Qian would not hold back at all. Directly killing them was the simplest and most crude way to deal with them.
Ever since Ye Qian had descended onto Earth, Tian Kui had been the third type of person to be killed by Ye Qian. The other two were the Tian Bao from the Sky Wolf Gang and the killer organization called the Dragon And Tiger Rankings.
Therefore, now that Tian Bao's Heavenly Wolf Gang had shrunk, Tian Kui had become a vegetable and the mysterious killer organization Dragon And Tiger Rankings was still running away.
Under the darkness of the night, a few figures were fleeing outside the outskirts of Yanjing which was more than a thousand kilometers away from the Linhai, like dogs who had lost their homes.
These people were no other than the Dragon And Tiger Rankings experts led by number five. After a day and night, they exited during the night, quickly escaping towards the Yanjing, afraid that the God of Death Ye Qian would chase after them and kill all the old, weak and handicapped. Until now, when they had already arrived at the outskirts of Yanjing, their anxious hearts had slightly calmed down.
They had been running non-stop for an entire day and night. All of them were tired, and seeing that the Yanjing headquarters was right in front of them, they all heaved a sigh of relief, and slowly stopped.
Number 5 stood at the front of the group and waved his hand, ”Stop, everyone should rest here for a while!”
Lao Ba and Lao Jiu were brought out by Number Five from the Yanjing, so they were Number Five's personal subordinates. They did not question Number Five's orders, and quickly found a place to sit down, gasping for air. If not for the threat of death, these two people from Spirit Serpent Stage would never have thought that they would be able to run more than a thousand kilometers in one go.
Sitting on the ground, Lao Jiu's stomach was already growling with hunger. Lao Ba however, considerately handed over a chocolate bar to Lao Jiu: ”You must be hungry, eat something first!”
Lao Jiu glanced at Lao Ba and said gratefully, ”Thank you!”
The Lao Ba laughed: ”After this battle, we are already risking our lives, there is no need to be courteous!”
Lao Jiu forced out a smile as he turned his head to look at Number Five who was standing in the darkness, but he felt that his smile was even uglier than crying.
After this battle, the losses of the Dragon And Tiger Rankings were severe. Not only did they lose an expert in Dragon Elephant Stage, they also lost one of their elite troops, September Killing Guard. Although the Lao Ba and the Lao Jiu had escaped from that abnormal Ye Qian's pursuit, no one knew what they would face once they reached Yanjing.
Perhaps they were facing the penalty of a mission failure, or perhaps they were facing death, or something even worse than death. Thus, at this time, no matter if it was Number Five or Lao Ba, none of them could laugh at all.
At this time, a frail figure slowly came behind Number Five, and said sternly: ”Lao Wu, the headquarters is about to arrive. Why are you stopping?”
The voice was filled with arrogance, accusation, and aggressiveness as it turned towards Number 5. This fellow was none other than an expert with Ox-tiger Stage.
During the Shouyang Mountain battle, not only Number Five, Lao Ba, and three other members of September Killing Guard escaped. Two of them were oxen and one was a spirit serpent. However, of the two cow-tigers, one had a broken arm, and the other was seriously injured. As for the Spirit Serpent Stage that had escaped by luck, he seemed to have been scared to death and hid in a corner without making a sound.
Scanning for the Ox-tiger Stage expert, who was also the leader of the September Killing Guard, Number Five smiled bitterly: ”Miele, it's not that I don't want to go back earlier, it's just that they can't run anymore. It's already curfew time, and we, the veterans, will just go back like this. If we expose our tracks and offend the people from that organisation, it'll only add to the chaos at the top of the rankings. ”
After a pause, Number 5 continued: ”I think we should rest here for the night, and go back tomorrow morning!”
The face of the one named Miele sunk, his gaze was like lightning, he coldly snorted: ”Lao Wu, I think it is a lie for you to avoid the organization, if you are afraid of being punished by the first place, you will be the real one, right?”
Number 5 sneered, ”Miller, I didn't expect you to still be like this after so many years. To think that you're still a petty person!”
Mile flung his sleeves and said, ”Humph, who knows who has the heart of a villain!”
Number Five also disdained, ”I am not with you, so what do you think we should do?”
”Of course it's to return immediately and report the matter of Linhai to the head of the board truthfully. I request that the head of the board summon the experts of the Dragon Rankings to head to Linhai and kill that damnable fellow.” After saying that, Mile's face became extremely ugly to behold: ”Lao Wu, this assassination mission, you are the leader of the Tiger Ranking, and our September Killing Guard is to assist you. However, the people under your command are all still alive and well, while my September Killing Guard is completely lost.
Number Five could understand Miller's feelings, but understanding was understanding. Number Five could not agree with Miller's actions. Hence, looking at Mile, Number 5's gaze was filled with a hint of chilliness. It was a pity that Mile was blinded by his hatred and did not notice the abnormality of Number Five.
With his fingers clenched into a fist behind his back, Number Five touched it for a moment before his expression softened and he said, ”Miller, since you say so, then I won't persist. We should just follow the old method of organization and gather everyone.
After struggling for a long time, he finally agreed, ”Well, you and I are of equal rank. You can't convince me, and I can't convince you, so we can only follow the old method of the organisation!”
