To be precise, it was a blade as thin as a cicada’s wing. These guys rushed up and collided with the blade themselves, which is why they died. To be precise, it was suicide.
Two minutes later, there were hardly any survivors at the scene. After the samurai puppet crushed the head of a Ghost-level Apostle, Yang Xiao paused the slaughter. At this moment, besides Yang Xiao, only two people were left breathing.
One of these two was a Ghost-level Apostle, the other a Fierce Level Apostle. They were scared to death, dropped their weapons, collapsed on the ground, trembling, breathing rapidly, their chests heaving violently. It felt as if they were about to die any second.
"Mr. Yang, Mr. Yang, please don’t kill us, it was all... it was all Han Li who told us to come kill you, it’s him, it’s all his fault!!" One person kneeled on the ground, begging loudly, weeping bitterly.
"Mr. Yang, spare our lives, I have an eight-year-old mother to support and an eighty-year-old infant to feed, please give me a way out. We are also... we were just confused for a moment!" The other person cried along, the sound of a grown man crying was chilling.
"I, Yang Xiao, am not a bloodthirsty person. As long as you do as I say, I can consider sparing you." Yang Xiao is not a petty person; he is very generous.
"Please instruct us, Mr. Yang!" The Ghost-level Apostle, seeing a chance, seized it immediately. He didn’t want to die.
"When you get back to Qinglan City, you have to help me identify Han Li leading the team to assassinate me. All this is a conspiracy of the Han family, and you have to confess everything you did secretly one by one." Yang Xiao made his request.
"This..." Hearing this, the person fell into hesitation.
They couldn’t afford to offend Yang Xiao, but also couldn’t afford to offend the Han family. Besides, for them to be sent on such a top-secret mission, they must be reliable individuals.
While their own lives were negotiable, they knew that the lives of their entire families were still held by Han Chen, a ruthless character who didn’t blink at killing.
Seeing the hesitation in their eyes, Yang Xiao’s last bit of patience was nearly exhausted. He didn’t have the mood to drag it out with them, and the samurai puppet was ordered to step forward, its bizarre and terrifying appearance frightened the two into immediate agreement.
"Mr. Yang, Mr. Yang, we agree, we... we are going to atone for our sins! I’ll be the whistleblower!" The other quick-witted fellow shouted loudly.
Their fear of this puppet far exceeded their fear of Yang Xiao. After all, they had seen it clearly earlier as this puppet brutally slaughtered most of their special operation squad.
Someone’s head was crushed, someone’s body was flattened, and someone was worse off, directly torn in half, with internal organs and intestines strewn all over.
Even if these two survive, in the long years to come, this exotic realm-styled robust puppet will haunt their nightmares for the rest of their lives.
After settling affairs here, Yang Xiao walked towards a nearby broken car, where the Northern Evil Dragon Han Li was currently head-down inside the vehicle, like a potted plant.
"Dead?" Standing by the car, Yang Xiao seemed to ask himself.
Han Li’s body did not move, appearing no different from a corpse.
Yang Xiao couldn’t help but find it amusing. Today was indeed interesting; all the opponents he met loved playing dead.
But unlike the Great Protector of Withered Bone Pavilion, Han Li’s method of playing dead was much less clever.
How should I put it, this guy had some tricks up his sleeve. Right now, he had no breath, no heartbeat, looking just like a dead person.
If he didn’t have the Human Bone Stick, it would be fine, but with this item, Han Li now was no different from streaking.
Yang Xiao wouldn’t indulge him, ordering the samurai puppet to act, and coldly said to Han Li: "Since you like playing dead so much, let me help you out, go twist his head off!"
Seeing the samurai puppet approach, Han Li could no longer hold on, scrambling out of the car, and with a plop, kneeled in front of Yang Xiao, clutching his thigh tightly, crying remorsefully, "Mr. Yang, please forgive me, brother... brother was confused for a moment!"
"It’s all because of some instigator, I’ve always admired you very much, I... I even wanted to invite you for a drink!"
"What Northern Evil Dragon is merely what people call for fun, I’ve never liked this nickname, every time I tell them to stop, but... but they just won’t listen, how can I Han Li compare with you."
"I guarantee you, from today onward, the title Jiangbei Twin Stars doesn’t exist. From now on, there is only Yang Xiao, the Rong City’s Most Fierce Tiger, I, Han family, would follow your lead!"
"Wuuu... Please don’t kill me, have mercy, I was wrong, I’m still young, I don’t want to die." Han Li clutched Yang Xiao’s thigh tightly, pleading bitterly and refusing to let go, he immediately regained himself at the face of life and death.
"That’s not what you said earlier, acting cautious now is amusing upon thought." Yang Xiao lifted his foot and kicked him aside.
But after being kicked down, Han Li crawled up the next second and again held Yang Xiao’s leg tightly, "Mr. Yang, punish me however you want, just spare my life."
"Please forgive based on family ties, my grandfather is Golden Spear Master Han, he... he was of great help to your Patrol Defense Office back then, he’s a good friend of yours!" Han Li hurriedly said, his attitude of remorse extremely sincere.
"What face does he have in front of me, calling him Master Han is giving him some face, if not, I’d let him bite the dust!" Yang Xiao wouldn’t indulge him, these years the Jiangbei Province Office has been too easygoing, pampering these martial arts forces, making each one of them blind to their real self.
Indeed, it’s necessary to win over them, but definitely not to overly indulge them, carrots and sticks are the truth.
Letting them enjoy rain and dew days for a few days, they bloody forget the thunderous grace of the temple, if Yang Xiao were to take over Jiangbei, he would never allow such things to happen.
Yang Xiao’s eyes allow no sand, and this time he will start with the Han family, others dare not act against them, but Yang Xiao has ways to deal with them.
Originally, he planned to interrogate, but Han Li couldn’t handle a slight fright, unexpectedly fainted, with a puddle of turbid, pungent yellow liquid flowing out underneath him.
With a swift blow, ensuring Han Li is completely passed out, Yang Xiao then turned back to deal with that Ghost-level Apostle, tying both up and throwing them into the Mirror Secret Room.
Having done this, he ordered that trembling Fierce Level Apostle to drive him back to Qinglan City.
Because tonight’s movements were fast, by the time they reached Qinglan City, dawn had not yet arrived. Yang Xiao settled with the Fierce Level Apostle who was driving, throwing him into the Mirror Secret Room.
Yang Xiao initially also had thoughts about that Great Protector of Withered Bone Pavilion, hoping to pry his mouth open overnight, but after tormenting all night, Yang Xiao was too tired. After confirming the safety of the Mirror Secret Room, he collapsed onto the sofa and slept.
But shortly thereafter, he was awakened by the vibration of a phone call. Groggily looking at the caller ID, Yang Xiao instantly realized it was Sui who stayed behind in Xiang Ma Town.
Once the call was connected, Sui’s voice was slightly hurried. He informed Yang Xiao that their mansion in Xiang Ma Town was attacked by a group not long ago, late at night.
The strength of the attackers was formidable, there were at least 5 Ghost-level Apostles, among them, two possessed strong power, and the rest of the assault team were also top figures among Fierce Grade ranks.
But he assured Yang Xiao, everyone was fine.
Logically speaking, such strength should cause them considerable damage, but coincidentally, they received a phone call an hour before the attack.
The caller informed them that someone would come to attack in an hour, advising them to prepare defense.
"Who called?" Yang Xiao couldn’t resist asking.
"Don’t know, can only discern it was a woman, and before our people could inquire, the caller already hung up." Sui Chengguo answered.
Though they’re uncertain about its truth, Sui Chengguo immediately arranged defenses, quickly contacted Daoist Qingfeng at Peace Hotel, asking him to send Ghost Slaves for reinforcement.
"We coordinated with the Ghost Slaves to completely annihilate this group of attackers, our losses are within acceptable limits, just now we turned over the leader’s body from the pile of corpses, can you guess who it is?" Sui left a suspenseful question.
"Who?"
"It’s the current Family Head of Northern Han Family, Han Chen." Sui said quietly.
