Wang Kaixuan led the people and rushed over directly, finishing off these people who hadn't reacted yet by slitting their throats in a few strokes, which also declared to everyone that the Second Archaeological Team never had any womanly kindness.

The reason they carried a bit of kindness in many situations was just because things hadn't reached that point yet; now, there was no need to say, the result was already determined.

Perhaps this group of hired people never expected that they would suffer such a fate. They had been to all kinds of big tombs before and had human lives on their hands, but they still naively thought that many things wouldn't fall on their heads.

It was precisely this naivety that cost them their lives; the death of this group also successfully shocked Ming Shu.

Ming Shu, hiding at the very back, subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva; he never expected that such a thing would happen. At first, he originally determined that even if the Second Archaeological Team was ruthless or could act outside of principles, they wouldn't take things to such an awkward degree.

After all, they represented the official side; if the official side's face looked bad, the Second Archaeological Team would definitely be affected. But this time, reality told Ming Shu that his thinking was simply too childish.

It wasn't that Yang Lusi wasn't ruthless enough, nor was it that Yang Lusi only acted ruthlessly toward Wang family members; as long as she saw someone who deserved to die, she would absolutely not be soft-hearted.

At this moment, Ming Shu finally realized that he had no retreat, and that everything he had done before was completely courting death.

Relatively speaking, Peter's gaze was more peaceful; he had long realized that if Ming Shu took things too far, the Second Archaeological Team would definitely make such a choice.

This was also why Peter had been trying his best to persuade Ming Shu in the open and in secret not to make those foolish behaviors; otherwise, he would only end up with no place to be buried. Even at this time, Peter breathed a sigh of relief.

He believed that since things had reached such a situation, with the bloody reality placed before Ming Shu, he should be able to react.

And knowing that his previous approach was absolutely wrong, Ming Shu definitely wouldn't do it a second time—this was the only thing Peter thought was worth rejoicing about now.

With this matter settled, Yang Lusi looked at Su Nan again, and this time her Vajra Umbrella was already swung up; everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

Originally, they determined that Yang Lusi was going to let Su Nan go, but didn't expect this strike not to leave Su Nan any chance; the next moment, the other party also closed her eyes, preparing to accept her fate.

On the other side, Wang Canghai, watching the live broadcast, opened his eyes wide; if this umbrella really swung down, Wang Canghai naturally knew very well.

He would have no other choice but to fight to the death; the Second Archaeological Team side had to be abandoned, and he couldn't get the Dust-Bead, because there would be no one left to use later.

Under this premise, the Dust-Bead was destined to be far away from him; this was indeed not a result Wang Canghai wanted to see.

But all the situations were also trying their best to tell Wang Canghai that no matter if he could accept it or not, he had to accept it. Wang Canghai sighed abruptly, and finally, he could only choose to compromise.

He didn't expect that just as the Vajra Umbrella was about to approach Su Nan's neck, almost less than half an inch away, it stopped abruptly.

Wang Kaixuan looked at Yang Lusi with full horror; it wasn't the horror brought by Yang Lusi not killing Su Nan, but the fact that the other party's control of force was so terrifying that Wang Kaixuan felt it exceeded his cognition.

Because he was also known for his strength, based on this, Wang Kaixuan hadn't been convinced by anyone within the range of pure strength.

The reason he was convinced by Yang Lusi was because the other party's comprehensive strength had reached a terrifying degree. If one only talked about strength, Wang Kaixuan even thought he could wrestle with Yang Lusi, but at this moment, Wang Kaixuan also realized how foolish his previous thoughts were.

Strength didn't just demand who was stronger or weaker; the most critical thing was to see how the person possessing this strength controlled it. Wang Kaixuan knew very well that if it were him swinging a military shovel down—

It would definitely not be able to be pulled back at this distance. This kind of control of force far exceeded ordinary people. Wang Kaixuan gave a secret thumbs up, his heart filled with exclamation.

And Su Nan, who was prepared to accept her fate, didn't feel the chill on her neck, but only felt the intense killing intent filling her surroundings. The next moment, she tried to open her eyes and saw Yang Lusi looking at her with a half-smile.

Breathing a sigh of relief abruptly, Su Nan understood that at least her preliminary plan could be considered successful; Yang Lusi doing this now was just to scare her, or to see what kind of courage she had.
