Chapter 195: The Dragon Group's Recruitment

~8 min read 1,458 words

"Who on earth are you!" Shimada looked at Luo Yexi, his eyes filled with terror.

Eight-Forked Wrath, as Shimada's strongest trump card, was extremely powerful. This technique was an ultimate move that could only be used after communicating with the still-slumbering Eight-Forked Snake and borrowing a portion of its power. Yet, in front of that golden-red Light Ball, it was shattered by sheer force.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!" Shimada roared loudly in his heart, while simultaneously considering how to escape this place. The pressure Luo Yexi put on him was simply too great; if he stayed here any longer, he would surely die.

"Ghost Concealment!" Shimada let out a low shout, and his figure dove into the shadow beneath his feet, moving so fast that even Luo Yexi did not react in time. Unlike the previous Invisibility Technique, Ghost Concealment was a ninjutsu that only a Shadow Ninja could use; by hiding one's figure within a shadow, it could be used for both assassination and escaping.

Watching Shimada use Ghost Concealment, Luo Yexi's brows furrowed instantly. With her current strength, she could naturally force Shimada out of the shadows, but under these circumstances, she could not guarantee she wouldn't hurt the Dragon Group members present.

"Ara ara, Ye Xi, have you run into trouble?" A head suddenly popped out from within Luo Yexi's shadow.

"Lingqi? Quick, help me force that annoying Ninja out of the shadows!" Seeing Lingqi appear, Luo Yexi's eyes lit up and she spoke.

"The enemy ran into the shadows? Then leave it to me!" A smile appeared on Lingqi's face, and then he dove into the shadows.

Suddenly, a patch of shadow on the ground swelled violently, and a figure darted out from the shadows at high speed, a look of terror on his face, as if he had seen something terrifying inside the shadows.

The moment Shimada rushed out of the shadows, Luo Yexi had already locked onto his figure, condensing Nine Yang True Qi onto her finger and pointing it out. "Nine Yang Sword Qi!"

At the same time, another figure appeared outside the conference room door, and a sharp, blood-red stream of energy also surged toward Shimada. "Shura Thorn!"

Shimada had just darted out from the shadows; how could he have expected that two people would launch an attack on him simultaneously? In his shock, the two attacks struck him at the same time. His figure was immediately sent flying sideways by the immense force, crashing heavily into the wall.

Shimada, who had crashed into the wall, had two piercing wounds on his body, one at his heart and one at his throat. The two forces, Nine Yang True Qi and Shura Power, simultaneously surged violently into his body along the wounds, destroying all the vitality within him. Even though his strength had reached that of a Shadow Ninja under the effects of the forbidden technique, faced with such injuries, he was beyond saving and could only breathe his last.

"Saeko, why are you stealing my kill again?" Luo Yexi looked at Busujima Saeko at the door with a helpless expression.

"Well, it didn't succeed, did it? This kill can only count as half for each of us! Hmm, and there's an assist from Lingqi!" Busujima Saeko shrugged nonchalantly.

Su Yi watched the two talking and couldn't help but swallow hard. Judging by the aura Busujima Saeko had just unleashed, she was also a bona fide Heaven Tier expert! Since when were Heaven Tier experts so cheap? Two of them had popped up in succession, and they were both such young girls.

Shimada had already been slain by Luo Yexi and Busujima Saeko, and the people in this base had all been suppressed by the other members of the Dragon Group; some were killed, some surrendered, and it could be considered a total wipeout. Looking at the Dragon Group, apart from a few who were injured, no one had sacrificed their lives. This operation could be considered a great success.

As for how to deal with these captured members and extract information about their organization and the location of the abducted women from them, that was the Dragon Group's task, and it had nothing to do with Lingyun and the others.

On the way back, Su Yi squeezed into the same car as Lingyun and the others.

"Uncle Su, why didn't you go with Uncle Qin and the others, but instead squeezed into my car?" Chen Jing asked with some confusion.

"Hehehe, I have something I want to discuss with Lingyun and the others, don't I?" Su Yi said with a smile.

"Oh, you have something to discuss with me? What is it?" Lingyun looked at Su Yi with interest.

"Well, you few, I see that you all possess extraordinary skills. Now that the country is in a time of trouble, it is exactly the time when people with your skills are needed. I wonder if you have any interest in joining our Dragon Group!" Su Yi said with a smile. "Of course, joining the Dragon Group also comes with many benefits. Not only can you enjoy the various perks of Dragon Group members, but you also have considerable authority..."

After listing all the benefits of joining the Dragon Group, Su Yi looked at the four of them expectantly: "How about it, will you consider it!"

"If Master joins the Dragon Group, then I will join!" Luo Yexi said.

"Wherever Ling-kun is, I am there!" Busujima Saeko looked at Lingyun, a smile curling the corners of her lips.

"Lingyun's decision is my decision!" Lingqi, who was on the side, also said.

Seeing that everyone had placed the power of choice in Lingyun's hands, Su Yi also looked toward Lingyun: "Little Brother Ling, what do you think..."

"This?" After pondering for a while, Lingyun said, "We are all just wandering individuals who dislike being bound. As for joining the Dragon Group, let's just forget about it!"

Seeing the look of disappointment on Su Yi's face, Lingyun spoke again: "However, if there is anything that needs help, you can contact Chen Jing, and we will act at our discretion. But this time we acted for Chen Jing's sake; next time, there will have to be compensation!"

"Is that so?" Su Yi lowered his head, not knowing what he was pondering. After a while, he raised his head and said, "Very well, I believe we will have many opportunities to cooperate!"

The car moved very fast, and before long, they arrived at their destination. Lingyun and the others got out of the car and left the place together.

"Old Su, did they agree to your recruitment?" Qin Wu walked to Su Yi's side and asked softly.

"No, they said they were just wandering individuals who didn't want to be bound, and they rejected my invitation!" Su Yi shook his head slightly.

"What? They dare to reject an invitation from the Dragon Group? Are they not taking our Dragon Group seriously at all!" One of the tall, burly men said in a muffled voice.

"Shut up, Cheng Meng! Don't forget, we only survived at the hands of that little Japanese devil because of their help. Do you want to provoke their ill will with words like that?" Su Yi frowned and reprimanded him.

"Su Yi, they are only Heaven Tier. If it weren't for the fact that all our Dragon Group's Heaven Tier experts are currently tied up, how would it ever be their turn?" Cheng Meng said indignantly.

"But don't forget, how old are those two? To have such young Heaven Tier experts, what kind of powerful force must have cultivated them! Such a force, let alone us, even Long Lao would not want to provoke. And the biggest characteristic of such large forces is that they are extremely protective of their own. Do you want to offend the force behind them by saying things like that now?" Su Yi said coldly.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think it through!" Faced with Su Yi's reprimand, Cheng Meng couldn't help but lower his head.

However, they did not know that their conversation had already been heard by Lingyun and the others.

Luo Yexi frowned and transmitted her voice to Lingyun: "Master, aren't those Dragon Group people a bit ungrateful? We were the ones who saved their lives!"

"The Dragon Group is a massive department, and in such a department, there will always be some ungrateful people. If we really joined the Dragon Group, it would be inevitable that we would come into conflict with them, and I hate that kind of thing the most!" Lingyun waved his hand.

"Alright, let's hurry home. I'm cooking today!" Lingyun waved his hand and said with a smile.
