Chapter 31: Blocking the Road

In the forest, the smell of blood had not yet dissipated.

Not long after Yasuo and Jasmine left,

several figures engulfed in bone-chilling Killing Intent shot out from the depths of the forest, landing beside Young Master Mo's cold corpse almost in the blink of an eye.

The middle-aged man at the lead had a burly build and a gloomy expression, with his brows somewhat resembling those of Young Master Mo.

He was none other than Mo Tianxiong, the president of the Bloodfiend Syndicate.

Upon seeing his son's tragic state with his eyes wide open in death, Mo Tianxiong felt a surge of blood rush straight to his head!

His vision darkened in waves!

"Mo'er!!"

A heart-rending roar caused the leaves to rustle and fall.

"Who?!!"

Mo Tianxiong's eyes instantly became bloodshot, just like a Vicious Beast.

"Exactly who did this?!!"

The surrounding subordinates were as silent as cicadas in winter, and no one dared to respond.

In this area, apart from them, there were no other living souls.

Right at this moment,

a thin figure walked out trembling from the shadows not far away.

It was unexpectedly the assassin who had previously failed to ambush Yasuo and narrowly escaped, Xiao Wei!

He had been hiding nearby and witnessed the entire process, but he had been scared out of his wits by Yasuo's ferocity and didn't dare to show his face at all.

"Pre… President…" Xiao Wei's voice was shaking uncontrollably.

Mo Tianxiong abruptly turned his head, his bloodshot eyes staring fixedly at him: "Speak! What did you see?! Who is the murderer?!"

Xiao Wei dropped to his knees with a thud and spilled everything he had seen like bamboo beans pouring out of a tube.

Including how Yasuo counter-killed the Zhao brothers and how he ended Young Master Mo with a single sword strike…

Mo Tianxiong furrowed his brows tightly.

A Rank 10 swordsman?

Killed Zhao Tianming and Zhao Tianqi?

Those two were experts over Rank 30!

"Are you sure?!" Mo Tianxiong's voice was bone-chillingly cold.

Xiao Wei was frightened to the point of Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering: "Ab… Absolutely true! That person is extremely strong! I suspect… he is at least S-Rank!"

"S-Rank?" A hint of solemnity flashed in Mo Tianxiong's eyes.

"What is his name? What does he look like?"

Xiao Wei tried hard to recall: "Name… I don't know the name. But he has a head of long black hair tied behind his head, which is very eye-catching. He looks… at least thirty years old."

Thirty years old and only Rank 10?

Doubts sprouted in Mo Tianxiong's heart.

No matter how he listened to this description, it exuded weirdness.

Xiao Wei suddenly remembered something and hurriedly added: "Right! Jasmine! Sister Jasmine should know more information about him! However… however, she seems to have been taken away by that person, and her life or death is currently unknown!"

"My strength is low, so I didn't dare to follow, and I've been guarding here waiting for you to come!"

Mo Tianxiong nodded expressionlessly.

"You did well."

Hearing this, Xiao Wei felt a surge of joy and was about to speak to claim credit.

However, Mo Tianxiong's gaze suddenly turned cold, like ten-thousand-year glacial ice.

"So, you just watched Mo'er get killed and remained indifferent?"

"I haven't treated you poorly on ordinary days."

"Is this how you repay me?"

Xiao Wei's face turned ashen, and he kept kowtowing: "President, spare my life! I… I didn't want not to save him! It's just that… that person is too strong, and I am simply no match for him!"

Mo Tianxiong slowly shook his head.

"What I want to hear is not these."

He gave a wink to a subordinate beside him.

That subordinate understood instantly.

"Pfft!"

A cold flash flickered!

Xiao Wei's head flew high up into the air, his face still bearing terror and puzzlement.

Fresh blood dyed the earth beneath Mo Tianxiong's feet red.

…

On the other side,

Zhou Huai controlled Yasuo and had already arrived at the mandatory route leading to Clear Water Lake.

Jasmine was beside him with her eyes closed and slight sweat seeping from her forehead, clearly urging her spirit eagle with all her might to conduct recon.

As for Zhou Huai, he returned his consciousness to his main body.

He took out his mobile phone and sent a message asking indirectly if Ye Xi had set off yet.

Ye Xi replied quickly: "Mm-hm, Brother Zhou Huai, we just left the city and are on the way to Clear Water Lake!"

The corners of Zhou Huai's mouth curled up imperceptibly, and he continued to instruct: "You must be careful on the road and watch your safety."

"If you encounter any danger, let that annoying fellow Lu Qi go up to block the knife, and you find a chance to run first yourself, you know?"

Ye Xi sent a smiley face emoji over there: "Got it, Brother Zhou Huai, you can rest assured!"

"Clear Water Lake is so close to Tianhai City, what danger could there be."

"Besides, there are three Professional bodyguards in our car, they will protect our safety, nothing will happen!"

Putting down his phone, Zhou Huai furrowed his brows slightly.

He originally planned to let Yasuo directly intercept Lu Qi's car halfway and give that brat an unforgettable lesson.

He didn't expect that there were actually three Professional bodyguards in the car.

This was indeed a small trouble.

Before this, he must first figure out what the strength of these three bodyguards was like.

If their Rank was too high, or their profession match was too tricky, he would have to temporarily give up the plan to strike and look for another good opportunity elsewhere.

About ten minutes later,

Jasmine, who had been resting her eyes, suddenly opened her eyes, her voice carrying a hint of urgency: "Boss, it seems… it seems we've found the target vehicle!"

Zhou Huai's spirits lifted: "State the personnel information inside the opponent's vehicle."

Jasmine steadied her mind and quickly reported: "There are a total of five people in the car."

"Three men and two women."

"The one sitting in the passenger seat should be the pretty girl you mentioned, she is a Rank 6 Holy Light Chanter."

"The driver is a Rank 16 Holy Shield Knight."

"The young man sitting in the middle of the back row is a Rank 6 Blazing Flame Mage."

"The remaining two are a Rank 16 Jungle Ranger and another is a Rank 16 Life Priest."

Bodyguards are all Rank 16?

Zhou Huai understood in his heart.

These three were probably not just bodyguards, but also Lu Qi and Ye Xi's teammates for this dungeon trip.

After all, under the dungeon rules of this world, the Rank gap between team members could not exceed ten Ranks.

These three people's Ranks were just right at this boundary.

Since the opponent's highest combat power was no more than Rank 16,

then his assurance would be much greater!

Zhou Huai looked at Jasmine beside him, his tone calm: "Wait here."

"If anything happens to me, don't worry about me, leave immediately by yourself."

Hearing this, Jasmine's little face turned somewhat pale, but she still obediently nodded.

"Boss, you… you must pay attention to safety!"

Zhou Huai didn't say anything more. Controlling Yasuo, his figure flashed, and he directly arrived in the middle of the road, standing with his hands behind his back.

…

At this moment, inside the speeding off-road vehicle,

Lu Qi looked at the passenger seat where Ye Xi kept her head down tinkering with her phone, occasionally revealing a sweet smile.

Obviously chatting with someone.

From getting in the car until now, she hadn't looked at him properly even once.

This made the jealousy burn like fire in Lu Qi's heart, and he spoke sarcastically:

"What? Still texting that trash Zhou Huai?"

Ye Xi raised her head, a trace of disgust flashing in her clear eyes, and said coldly: "None of your business."

"Also, Brother Zhou Huai is not trash!"

"He is ten thousand times stronger than you!"

A flash of ferocity instantly crossed Lu Qi's handsome face, but he quickly concealed it.

"I advise you to stay away from him."

"It won't be long before you become my woman."

Ye Xi's pretty face frosted over: "You're dreaming!"

Lu Qi's mouth curved into a cruel arc: "Whether I'm dreaming or not is not up for you to decide."

"After our two families officially announce our engagement, if you dare to go look for that trash again,"

"I guarantee that I will personally kill him!"

The chill on Ye Xi's body intensified, and flames of anger burned in her beautiful eyes.

"If you dare to say another word, believe it or not, I'll get out of the car right now?!"

Seeing this, Lu Qi immediately put on a smiling face and waved his hand: "Aah, I'm just joking, Sister Xi'er, don't get excited."

Just at this moment—

"Screech——!"

A harsh screech of brakes suddenly sounded!

The huge inertia caused everyone in the car to lean forward unawares.

When the vehicle came to a complete stop,

Lu Qi flew into a rage and cursed harshly at the driver:

"How the fuck are you driving?! Do you want to die?!"

The driving Holy Shield Knight looked aggrieved and still shaken.

"You… Young Master, it's not that I wanted to brake, it's… it's because there is someone suddenly blocking the middle of the road ahead!"

"Blocking the road? Whose fucking guts swelled up to dare block my car?!"

Lu Qi in the back seat poked his head out and looked forward with an extremely displeased face.

"You really have lived long enough!"

However,

when he clearly saw the familiar figure in the middle of the road ahead, his whole person was struck by lightning and froze instantly!

A curse word burst out of his mouth uncontrollably.

"What the fuck?!"
