Chapter 879: If You Want to Save Her, Come Alone

The sky was illuminated for an instant, accompanied by a deafening roar.

Cai Xiaotang stood on the escalator, feeling as if the entire mountain were trembling, and nearly lost her footing and fell.

Immediately after, she heard—"Bang!!!"

Another massive explosion rang out.

Cai Xiaotang looked toward the mountaintop in terror, but could see nothing.

She was still a long way from the top, and the situation up there had clearly exceeded the scope of a "competition."

What on earth had happened?

How could there be such a massive explosion up there!

Cai Xiaotang's brows furrowed tightly, and then, as something suddenly occurred to her, her heart plummeted.

Baobao!

Baobao was still up there waiting!!

She was still pregnant!

And perhaps...

That guy Li Xiao was also...

"Bang!!!"

Another loud boom.

The elevator suddenly stopped.

Cai Xiaotang stood halfway up the mountain, stunned for a moment.

"Broken?"

She instinctively stomped her foot, but the elevator remained completely motionless.

The distance to the mountaintop was still quite far; if she wanted to walk up like this, it would likely take quite a while.

And it would consume a great deal of physical strength.

Cai Xiaotang stood where she was, hesitating for less than a second.

Then, disregarding everything else, she simply gritted her teeth and started running up the escalator!!

On the hillside.

A group of people were also momentarily dazed by this sudden turn of events.

The sky had already darkened.

To prepare the surprise, they had left almost no lights on.

Li Xiao, however, had reacted the very moment the explosion began.

Without hesitation, he unholstered the gun from his body and shoved it directly into Li Beijue's hands!

"Find a place to hide, all of you!"

He had no time to say more; after dropping that one sentence, he turned and took another gun from Lao Si's hand, glanced back toward the direction of the mountain base, a hint of worry flickering in his eyes.

Xiao Tang should be halfway here by now...

She had better hide the moment she heard the noise and absolutely not come up!

"Xiuluo, the signal has been sent out; our people are on their way."

Laoqi gritted his teeth as he leaned in close to Li Xiao to report in a low voice.

Li Xiao nodded, his peripheral vision catching that Luo Wanwan was still standing by his side, refusing to leave.

Thinking of her leg injury, Li Xiao said to her in a low voice, "Stand behind Lao Wu and the others."

"Mm."

Luo Wanwan nodded, her face full of tension, and obediently went to Lao Wu's side, though her eyes scanned the surroundings rapidly.

The smoke from the explosion had not yet dissipated.

The visibility at this moment was limited.

Almost everyone was on edge, not knowing what would happen in the next second.

Just then—a "whoosh" sound!

A bullet fired from a silenced pistol, carving a rift through the silent air!

"Clink!"

It hit something, emitting a crisp sound.

"They're here."

Li Xiao looked at the small, dark mass of shadows not far away, his face heavy with the impending storm.

Hmph...

They had truly underestimated them.

To actually choose this time to climb up from here!

But... why so suddenly?

Linke clearly hadn't had any new movements lately, and he hadn't ordered anyone to do anything...

Logically, this shouldn't be happening...

A dark glint flashed in Li Xiao's eyes, but there was no time to dwell on it; besides guarding against the people in the distance, he had to keep glancing back toward the escalator from time to time.

Cai Xiaotang's figure had still not appeared there.

Upon discovering the elevator had stopped, Li Xiao actually felt a sense of relief.

The guest list for this event had been personally invited by Li Corporation.

It was basically impossible to just sneak in casually.

Otherwise, these people would not have chosen to risk their lives to climb up from behind the mountain to attack them.

Therefore, as long as Cai Xiaotang does not appear here, she is absolutely safe!

But this also means...

It will take some time for their own people to come up and provide reinforcements.

If they were to rashly run down at a time like this, they might even drag others into it...

Li Xiao thought to himself, his gaze locked firmly on the several figures constantly closing in ahead.

The lingering smoke and the dim sky at this moment had become the best "shields."

Making neither side dare to approach easily.

But since the other side came prepared, they would not drag this out for too long.

They were just waiting for the moment to erupt.

Both sides stared intently at each other, waiting for an opportunity to act.

The next second—a shadow in the dark suddenly swayed violently and rushed rapidly toward the direction of Li Xiao and his men!

The sound of bullets breaking through the air rang out one after another!

The opposing side was extremely fast; in almost the blink of an eye, they had broken through the thick fog, brandishing short blades as they pressed in right before Li Xiao's eyes!

"Whoosh!"

The sound of a gunshot rang out simultaneously!

Li Xiao retreated sharply, dodging the blade that had nearly grazed his eyes, and pulled the trigger of the gun in his hand at the same time.

The opponent did not linger in the fight either, dodging the bullet and vacating the position in front, while another person suddenly emerged from behind!

In less than half a minute, the two groups were already locked in a melee.

The opposing side clearly had more people, and before long, Li Xiao and his men were all sporting injuries.

Luo Wanwan, however, was kept shielded behind Lao Wu and Laoqi the entire time, without a single scratch.

But in the midst of the struggle, they were gradually being forced toward the edge of the mountain.

The safety measures there had long since been destroyed; looking down, there was only a misty expanse.

Although it was not a sheer cliff, if one were to accidentally fall, they would be either dead or crippled.

Li Xiao reached up and wiped away the blood that had splattered onto his face at some unknown moment, his eyes filled with coldness.

Yet his gaze still did not forget to scan the direction of the elevator from time to time.

He was terrified that Cai Xiaotang's figure might appear there the next second.

The opponent's goal was already very obvious.

They were here to capture him!

Just as if the situation were reversed at this moment, he would also try his best to capture Linke alive and would not go for the kill immediately...

But for the opponent's operation to go so smoothly, there was clearly an inside man!

Who could it be...

Who could it be...

Li Xiao's chest heaved continuously as he saw the several people on the opposite side, who were also injured, continuing to press in.

Following that, they charged up once again!

Only this time, they suddenly changed their strategy, with everyone attacking Luo Wanwan, who was hidden behind the others!

Li Xiao realized the opponent's goal in an instant.

Lao Wu and Laoqi also immediately blocked the front of Luo Wanwan.

But helplessly, the opponent had the advantage in numbers, and Luo Wanwan was not agile, so in the end, someone grabbed her wrist and dragged her directly to the edge of the cliff!

"Wanwan!"

Lao Wu immediately moved to step forward.

The opponent, however, was the first to raise a pistol, pressing it directly against Luo Wanwan's temple.

"Don't come over! Otherwise, don't expect this woman to keep her life!"

The person holding the gun spoke in a vicious tone, and as they spoke, they deliberately took two steps back toward the edge of the cliff.

Lao Wu and the others stopped in their tracks immediately.

Li Xiao also dared not act rashly, remaining in a standoff with the opponent.

Then he heard the opponent speak up with a demand: "Asura, do you want to save this woman? If you do, strip off all the weapons on your body, and you, come over here yourself."
