Chapter 514: Xu Jingming! You Actually Really Want to Kill Me?

November 11, 3:23 a. m.

In a secluded villa district in the suburbs near Rongcheng, the provincial capital of Chuan Province.

In one of the villa's bedrooms, the lights blazed bright, and the sounds of licentious revelry rose up.

On the wide, spacious bed, Wang Mang was playing with several young girls.

The loss in the preliminary trials, coupled with the Song family's rejection.

Left him with a bellyful of vicious fire he had no way to vent, so he could only use this method to release it.

At that moment, his phone suddenly rang—it was the butler calling.

"You took action last night, so why are you only calling to notify me now?

This Blood Wing is getting more and more unprofessional.

It seems that in the future, if there's this kind of thing again, we'll have to switch to a different organization to handle it."

Wang Mang frowned, picked up the phone, and chose to answer.

"Young Master, news came from the Blood Wing organization side—the mission failed, and they will refund the full deposit for this mission."

The butler's voice sounded from the other end of the phone.

"It actually failed?"

Wang Mang's expression froze, and he questioned:

"Neither of Xu Jingming's two women was successfully assassinated?

But how is that possible? I specifically hired a spatial-type ability user to target Song Qiuyun!

The other one, Jiang Chuxuan, has no background either—there shouldn't be any powerful backup."

"Indeed, they all failed."

The butler on the other end of the phone said bitterly, "According to the intelligence collected by Blood Wing.

Beside Xu Jingming's two women, there is always a Chi Mang Liu Jin guard protecting them at all times."

"Chi Mang Liu Jin guard?" Wang Mang's pupils contracted.

Born into a family of ninth-tier ability users, he naturally knew what this was.

But Liu Jin guards are very hard for humans to control—they can only be destroyed!

Even their Wang family had only managed to get two ordinary Liu Jin guards.

How does this Xu Jingming have two? And they're an even more powerful model at that.

"This news was confirmed after Blood Wing organization collected it from multiple sources, so there shouldn't be any problem."

The butler on the other end of the phone nodded and said, "Caught off guard, of the two assassins, one was killed head-on.

The other had his limbs chopped off and was handed over to a mental-type ability user from Modu University for interrogation."

With the strength of a Chi Mang Liu Jin guard, killing two sixth-tier ability users was simply too easy.

"There's actually a survivor?"

Wang Mang was shocked and hurriedly asked: "Xu Jingming won't trace it back to me arranging the assassins, will he?"

According to the laws and decrees of the Great Xia Kingdom, grievances between ability users can only be resolved between themselves.

One cannot make a move against the other party's family—once discovered, the consequences are extremely severe.

Especially for a prodigy like Xu Jingming who possesses an SS-class ability, once the matter is exposed.

It won't be something that can be solved by his father locking him up for a few days.

He might very well go directly to prison for four or five years!

"Young Master, rest assured, the assassins on Blood Wing's side acted under the name of the Tianming Sect.

They had already performed special treatment on their consciousness sea beforehand.

Even if a mental-type ability user from Modu University makes a move, they won't be able to extract any useful information."

The butler explained, "Unless Xu Jingming can hack into Blood Wing's intelligent system, there's simply no way to obtain the relevant information.

Blood Wing's intelligence database is very secure—even top-tier artificial intelligence can't do anything about them."

"That's good then." Wang Mang let out a long breath.

Nowadays, the highest level of intelligence on Blue Star is only top-tier artificial intelligence.

Blood Wing's intelligence system can be said to be absolutely safe!

"Blood Wing says they still have a way to continue making moves, but the price will be more expensive—how should we reply?"

The butler asked.

"No need to continue." Without even thinking, Wang Mang directly chose to refuse.

The two sixth-tier assassins he arranged had already nearly drained his private savings.

To hire two people sufficient to deal with Chi Mang Liu Jin guards, the price required wouldn't be astronomical?

Besides, this operation failed, so the other side will definitely be on guard, and it won't be that easy to succeed.

"Wang Shao, why did you stop?"

At that moment, the girl who noticed something was amiss turned her head back with a coquettish complaint.

"I'm not in the mood now, you all can leave."

After this incident, how could Wang Mang possibly have the mood to continue.

After hanging up the phone, he flung a few bundles of cash out from his spatial ring.

The few girls who got the cash also hurriedly left in high spirits.

"A Chi Mang Liu Jin guard that even our family doesn't have, yet you actually have two?"

Wang Mang, who had finished dressing, paced over to the window.

His gaze looked out at the pitch-black night sky, but his expression was as sinister and vicious as a venomous snake:

Xu Jingming, you're lucky this time.

But what happened before won't be so easily forgotten!

Wait and see—I'll make sure you suffer when I get another chance!

Yet at that moment, a brilliant golden light suddenly flared in the distant sky.

This light moved at incredible speed, rapidly growing larger toward his direction.

"That's..."

Wang Mang stared in confusion, "A light-based ability user? But it doesn't quite look like one.

And this ability... why does it feel familiar?"

In an instant, Wang Mang remembered.

Wasn't it exactly this way that Xu Jingming appeared before him during the preliminary round and killed him?

"It's Xu Jingming?! He actually found his way here?!"

Wang Mang's pupils shrank to needle-points; an unprecedented terror surged within him.

Xu Jingming appearing here meant the other knew the truth.

Knowing the truth, yet not reporting it to the Public Security Bureau—instead coming alone.

This behavior meant Xu Jingming intended to settle scores with him personally!

"Wang Mang!"

A thunderous roar erupted—boom!

The specially reinforced bedroom wall, capable of withstanding machine-gun fire, shattered into fragments!

A figure like a demonic god burst through.

This figure was tall and muscular, radiating a savage aura like that of a top-tier dragon-class beast.

His eyes swirled with brilliant golden lightning, fixing on Wang Mang with the gaze of one looking at a dead man.

"Xu Jingming! It really is you!"

Wang Mang's heart leapt, "What do you want? I warn you—even as an SS-rank awakened, you can't act recklessly!"

"What do I want? That's something you should ask yourself—what have you done?"

Xu Jingming sneered, raising his right hand slightly toward Wang Mang: "Doushen Shenlei!"

Crackle!!

A furious golden thunder, radiating terrifying power, blasted toward Wang Mang.

Yet just before it struck him—

The necklace hanging around Wang Mang's neck suddenly flared with light.

A thick energy barrier spread outward, blocking Xu Jingming's Doushen Shenlei.

"Xu Jingming, you really want to kill me?"

Only now did Wang Mang realize—he was drenched in cold sweat.

He had assumed Xu Jingming would merely beat him up again, as last time.

But Xu Jingming's demeanor just now clearly aimed to kill him!

Otherwise, his eighth-rank protective talisman would not have activated automatically.

"Xu Jingming, don't forget.

My father, Wang Zhen, is a ninth-rank Martial Saint and a member of the Great Xia National Council.

If you kill me, you won't escape consequences!

Besides, you can't break through this eighth-rank protective talisman.

If you leave now, I'll pretend tonight never happened."

Wang Mang shouted urgently.

He felt Xu Jingming's gaze was terrifying—like a ravenous beast about to devour its prey.

Under that gaze, even the thick protective talisman gave him no sense of safety.

Thinking of this, he quickly pulled out his phone and dialed his father Wang Zhen's number...
