Chapter 3151: A Fated Encounter?

In the narrow, misty valley, Su Xiao stands on a raw stone beside the stagnant water. While chasing the Rule-Breaker just now, he clearly sensed that the Rule-Breaker had two auras.

This indicates that there are two souls in the Rule-Breaker's body, or another individual is attached to the Rule-Breaker. It is not yet certain which situation it is.

Su Xiao's style of doing things is to pull out the weeds by the roots, to crush the bones and scatter the ashes when killing, leaving no future troubles.

Su Xiao constantly senses the situation of the surrounding water surface, while Baha has already dived to the bottom of the water to investigate the corpse of the Rule-Breaker.

Drip~

The sound of water droplets comes from the right side. Su Xiao slashes sideways with his blade. With a 'boom', the stagnant water on his right splashes high.

"Boss, caught it."

Baha rushes out from the water, its eagle claws flicking, throwing a lump of meat onto the rock beside the stagnant water.

"I inherited 30% of Thousand Faces' assets!"

The lump of meat lets out a shout. Looking closely, there is a face on it. Perhaps because it lost the body energy supply of Thousand Faces, this face looks withered, with a mouth full of fine, sharp teeth and eyeballs the size of marbles, looking as if they might fall out of their sockets at any time.

"This little thing grew up... really f*cking unique."

Baha looks at the face on the meatball and gives a very pertinent evaluation.

"Bring it here."

D·Assassination appears in Su Xiao's hand, aimed at the meatball a few meters away, which is Shazhi.

"Of course I can, but we need to sign a contract. I will draft one..."

Shazhi's words are only half-spoken.

Pfft, pfft, pfft.

Su Xiao pulls the trigger of D·Assassination, calmly firing three shots at Shazhi. The shooting feel of D·Assassination is as good as ever, but the power is unsatisfactory. The bullets only leave bleeding bullet holes on Shazhi's body, not blowing it up.

"Spare... my life, I can, help you..."

Pfft, pfft.

Su Xiao fires two shots. After leaning in to check Shazhi's situation and finding it not dead yet, he fires a few more shots. With his rich robbery... cough, rich combat experience, he is certain that this thing has no bargaining chips in its hands.

After Su Xiao throws a few alchemy bombs into the water, he grabs Baha's eagle claws and rises in altitude following Baha's flight.

The sound of explosions echoes from the valley below. After a while, Su Xiao releases Baha's eagle claws and lands on a piece of rock ground. He wants to know, where is this?

Chasing the enemy for more than three hours, Su Xiao does not intend to return the same way. He begins to set up an alchemy formation map. The initial formation map he set up in the office in York City just happens to be useful now.

After setting up the formation map, Su Xiao and Baha stand on it. The peregrine falcon circling in the sky has disappeared. It must have died from overdrawing its vitality.

Boom!

The spatial formation map is activated, and the rock ground where they are cracks. The spatial technology of the Demon Race is as bold and violent as ever.

When the light and shadow before Su Xiao's eyes no longer distort, he takes a deep breath. After a while, the discomfort of teleportation recedes. He once wondered about one thing: why the Demon Race uses this kind of violent spatial formation map. Now he understands; this kind of teleportation technology is very safe. As for the side effects, he gradually got used to them.

Su Xiao feels that the discomfort brought by his use of other unstable spatial formation maps now can no longer shake him in the slightest.

Su Xiao goes up to the third floor, takes a shower, and then finds a chair, sitting in front of the open window. The cool breeze blowing on his face makes his fatigue recede by a point. Although the combat process just now was not long, before that, Su Xiao had been chasing at full speed for more than three hours, which is more physically exhausting than fighting a battle.

The hunting mission has been completed, and the search for the Supreme Insect is on the right track, no longer without a clue. What is needed now is time.

Su Xiao originally intended to also eliminate Xianji. After testing, this idea was temporarily dismissed. Using the method of finding Rule-Breaker No. 14023 to find Xianji is completely unfeasible.

The extraordinary animal Su Xiao prepared had just used S-001 when that Red-Headed Jackal exploded into a cloud of blood mist. It must be known that this is a natural extraordinary beast, stronger in tolerance than the peregrine falcon, Horus.

Tracking Xianji directly is not feasible, and using the method of finding the Supreme Insect takes too long, plus Su Xiao doesn't have that many intelligence personnel under his command.

A problem that has to be admitted is that although Xianji doesn't have the brains of the Grey Gentleman or the Priest, she is the strongest in combat power among these three. If Su Xiao were to fight Xianji one-on-one with his current strength, he would definitely lose.

The Supreme Insect is already tricky enough, and whether he can defeat the other party is still an unknown. Before dealing with the Supreme Insect, if he were to chase and beat Xianji, Su Xiao is very worried about one situation appearing: that the Supreme Insect and Xianji would unite, which would be very bad.

With Xianji's strength, her foundation is definitely rich, and it is highly likely that she has rare items that can urgently escape this world. Or rather, for high-tier Rule-Breakers, this has almost become a must-have item.

Baha's Magic Eagle Domain has already been used and is in a long cooling-down phase. Going to surround and kill Xianji at this time is a very unwise choice.

Therefore, Su Xiao decides to temporarily ignore Xianji's side. That side has long been arranged; Xianji is a public enemy of all, hostile to the four major forces of this world. As long as the other party has even a little bit of reason, she won't come to the East Continent or the South Continent.

At the current stage, Kingsley is sitting in charge of the search for the Supreme Insect, and the other party has already rushed to the East Continent. Su Xiao prepares to deal with matters related to the Blood of Fate first, and then go to meet up with Kingsley.

The Blood of Fate is related to the secret method of attracting lightning. In Su Xiao's view, that kind of golden lightning is not as simple as just using 'Heaven's Wrath · Rushing Thunder Fall'. After successfully attracting the lightning, if a portion of that kind of golden lightning can be stored, as long as the method of use is appropriate, that thing will most likely be able to permanently enhance oneself.

Thinking of this, Su Xiao takes Baha out of the office, gets into the vehicle driven by Xili, and rushes back to Garman City.

At 7 PM, on the most prosperous commercial street in Garman City, the neon lights of various colors on the street are dazzling. Pedestrians on the street are in an endless stream, among whom are girls dressed in revealing clothes, as well as dead-drunk drunks. The pungent smell of alcohol on his body makes pedestrians cover their noses and frown. The intensity of the alcohol smell makes one wonder if he drank alcohol.

This drunkard stumbles in his steps. By a slip of the foot, he bumps into a white-haired youth. The drunkard, with bleary eyes, tilts his head, lets out a hiccup, and says with a mouth full of alcohol smell:

"Where are you from, you country bumpkin? You bumped into someone and don't even apologize?"

The drunkard stumbles a few steps, shaking his upper body to block the front of the white-haired youth.

"Brother, you are drunk."

The white-haired youth just smiles, making a move to support the drunkard's arm.

"Don't touch me, p*lo."

The drunkard flicks his arm, blocking the white-haired youth's hand. The white-haired youth feels a surge of anger in his heart. Just as he is about to push away the drunkard in front of him, the drunkard stumbles and walks over.

"Aiqi, Garman City is truly a prosperous and chaotic city."

The white-haired youth's mood is a bit depressed. Aiqi, beside him, is silent. Aiqi has been very silent for the past few days, and his aura is getting colder and colder. This is the coldness of darkness.

"Aiqi?"

"Hmm?"

"What happened to you in the past few days?"

"Nothing."

Although Aiqi says this, he knows that he has a problem. Since four days ago, he has been able to smell a very special scent. Whenever this scent drifts into his nasal cavity, he has an urge to devour people, as if all the living beings he sees are his food.

"Aiqi, you..."

The white-haired youth doesn't continue. Of course, he feels that his good friend is becoming more and more cold and dangerous.

Just as Aiqi and the white-haired youth are talking, a girl in a black dress walking from the front attracts their attention. Even though there are many pedestrians, except for this girl in a black dress, all other pedestrians become foils.

The girl in the black dress walks between Aiqi and the white-haired youth, leaving a faint lingering fragrance between the two. When the three of them brush past each other, everything around them seems to slow down.

"Two idiots, run."

A crisp female voice reaches the ears of the white-haired youth and Aiqi. Both stop their footsteps at the same time and turn to look behind them. The mysterious girl wearing a black dress has already disappeared.

"Aiqi, the situation is not right."

"Oh."

Aiqi takes off his coat and moves his neck from side to side.

"Don't make a move here, there are too many civilians."

"Survival is hunting, I am the top predator..."

Aiqi's words stop halfway. He is dumbfounded in his eyes. He doesn't know why he said such words. In the moment just now, he had an urge to kill all the civilians on the street to find the attacker hidden among them.

"Aiqi, I seem to be a bit not right."

The white-haired youth shakes his head. The images before his eyes appear as double images, and his head is very dizzy, just like a hangover.

Vaguely, the white-haired youth sees a figure by the street a hundred meters away. The other party is carrying a wine bottle. Noticing his gaze, the figure uncorks the bottle in his hand and pours the liquid inside into his mouth. That is not alcohol at all, but 98% pure alcohol + resin of bitter salt trees. One is flammable, and the other will explode due to friction with the air.

After that figure drinks the liquid in the bottle empty, the dizziness in the white-haired youth's brain becomes more intense. He discovers that his body is full of alcohol. These alcohols have fused with his body cells due to unknown reasons. If he were an ordinary person, he would have died on the spot.

The white-haired youth is just about to rush forward. He only takes one step when a heart-piercing burning pain appears all over his body. He looks down and sees sparks all over the clothes on his torso, arms, and legs. If he continues to move, he will become a burning man.

In the same situation as him is Aiqi. Both of them are covered in sparks, standing in place, not daring to move an inch further. The faster they run, the faster they die.

"Aiqi, is there a way?"

"Yes."

Black semi-fluid emerges from the back of Aiqi's hand, wrapping around his whole body, and then spreads to the white-haired youth. The sparks on their bodies are quickly stripped away.

I don't know when, but over a dozen men and women wearing black windbreakers with unkind gazes are already standing on the front and back sides of the street. Noticing this scene, Aiqi and the white-haired youth rush forward at the same time.

Half an hour later, in a pitch-black alley, Aiqi and the white-haired youth fight back-to-back against the wall. Neither of their faces looks good. They both sense that the enemy is in the vicinity, surrounding them without disturbing the civilians. Those people's methods are too brilliant, all very good at fighting in dense crowds. Their moves are silent, yet every move is fatal.

"It's the Institution's people."

The white-haired youth presses one hand on his chest and abdomen. Wisps of smoke drift from his fingertips, revealing a sweet, fishy smell that makes one dizzy.

"How do you know?"

Aiqi leans against the wall. Without fully awakening the Devourer in his body, he cannot shake off the pursuers, and fully awakening the Devourer is a burden Aiqi cannot yet bear.

"Only the people from the Institution and the Eclipse Organization are so good at fighting in places where people are dense. Except for the transcendents of these two parties, the transcendents of other forces don't care about the life and death of civilians; they think of themselves as people above others."

The white-haired youth also sits in the corner of the wall. He looks at the stars in the sky. This time, they were calculated too miserably. He feels that he might die here. If the enemy weren't concerned about civilians and hadn't used their respective weapons, he and Aiqi would have died long ago.

The white-haired youth smiles miserably. He had talked to Kingsley before, and Kingsley's reply was that the matter had passed, and their grudges with the Eclipse Organization and the Institution were written off.

Not only that, Kingsley also had a big shot from the Institution named Xili come forward. After some discussion, their conflict with the Institution was resolved.

Now it seems that this is not the case.

"Aiqi, you have become someone I don't recognize in the past few days."

The white-haired youth speaks with a smile. In the past, he wouldn't have said such things, but now that they are about to die, if there is anything in his heart, of course, he must say it.

"I have never changed, or rather, you have never truly understood me."

"Then tell me, who are you?"

"I am... Devourer Aiqi."

"Devourer..."

The white-haired youth is speechless, then smiles, laughing until he leans back and forth. Strong enemies are surrounding and searching for them outside, and he is actually here doubting that his partner Aiqi will become a monster. This makes him feel that his behavior is very childish.

"Two idiots being lovey-dovey, it's disgusting~"

A female voice comes. Aiqi and the white-haired youth look at the sound. A girl in a black dress is sitting on the high wall at the very back of the alley, watching them with great interest.

"Shorty, who are you calling disgusting?"

Aiqi stands up, his gaze unkind.

"Short... shorty?"

The girl in the black dress, who is Goya, points at herself, as if confirming whether Aiqi is talking about her.

"Yes, I'm talking about you."

Aiqi lowers his voice. He is certainly not stupid; speaking loudly now will attract enemies.

Goya takes a deep breath. Looking at that posture, it is clear she is preparing to shout.

"This lady, we were wrong."

The white-haired youth presses one hand on the back of Aiqi's head, and the two bow and apologize together.

"Oh ho~, idiots also have some intelligence."

Goya stands up from the high wall. Before turning and leaping down from the high wall, she tilts her head to look at the white-haired youth and Aiqi, saying:

"Two idiots, why don't you follow? Could it be that you are preparing to die here?"

"Uh?"

The white-haired youth is stunned for a moment. He looks at Aiqi, and Aiqi is also full of confusion. At the moment, strong enemies are surrounding them, and they have no more choices. Death is death either way, so it's better to see what this mysterious woman wants to do.

The white-haired youth and Aiqi both leap onto the wall, then jump onto the top of a residential house.

Goya half-crouches here. She throws out two glass balls that look like marbles, and the white-haired youth and Aiqi each catch one.

"What is this thing?"

"Stuff it into the back door."

When Goya says this, she is smirking on her face.

"Back... back door is?"

The white-haired youth's face turns green. To be honest, this is a bit involved in his knowledge blind spot.

"This is a C-type assimilation substance, which can help you eliminate your own aura within half an hour. It's produced by the Institution; the quality is nothing to say."

"I won't use it."

Aiqi's answer is exceptionally firm.

"Then just wait for death, fine. I don't care. I saved you because I was bored. The Hunter Company in the East Continent has already set its sights on you. It's a pity for a certain little sister who is a tailor's apprentice; the person she loves deeply is going to die."

"Hunter Company? Wasn't it the Institution that plotted against us?"

The white-haired youth starts to not understand the current situation.

"The Institution plotted against you? Is there a hole in your brain? If the Institution wanted to clean you up, you would have died long ago, and your ashes would have been scattered into the river."

Goya has an expression of looking at an idiot.

"This thing, I won't use it."

Aiqi looks at the glass ball that looks like a marble in his hand, his face turning green.

"As you wish."

Goya has an indifferent attitude. The white-haired youth and Aiqi are both silent. After a while, Aiqi's expression twists, and the teeth in his mouth bite until they click.

"By the way, I lied to you just now. The C-type assimilation substance is to be held in the mouth."

Hearing this, the white-haired youth hurriedly throws the glass bead in his hand into his mouth. Aiqi, beside him, has a gloomy face, his shoulders trembling with anger.

"Oh my? You didn't really~, tsk tsk tsk~"

Goya brings sarcasm to the extreme. Aiqi doesn't speak, his right hand opens, and he calmly throws the C-type assimilation substance into his mouth. Seeing this, Goya spits out a 'tch', failing to clean up Aiqi.

"This lady, are we just waiting here?"

The white-haired youth asks the doubts in his heart.

"Shut up, wait quietly. Those guys below are here to hunt. This is not their territory; they are afraid of disturbing the Institution. However, why did the Hunter Company set its sights on you?"

Goya takes out a pocket watch, her gaze fixed on the second hand on it without blinking. After waiting for about ten seconds, she leaps down from the roof and walks openly on the street.

The white-haired youth and Aiqi hesitate for a moment, then choose to follow behind Goya. They pass through five alleys, a library, enter from the front door of a residential house, exit from the back door, and after that, they successfully exit the encirclement.

The white-haired youth and Aiqi look around the deserted street, unable to recover for a while.

"Don't be stunned, pick up these boxes and follow me."

Goya continues to lead the way in front. The white-haired youth and Aiqi hesitate for a few seconds, then each hug two large iron boxes and walk behind Goya. The white-haired youth discovers that the iron box in his arms is extremely heavy. Before walking a few steps, he feels his waist start to ache.

"How much further?"

Aiqi's tone is much better. No matter what, Goya is their savior.

"Almost there, that warehouse in front is it."

Goya stops in front of a two-story warehouse. She clears her throat and knocks on the thick iron door.

With a 'clatter', the large iron door opens. A sturdy man standing in the darkness nods to Goya and lets the three of them into the room.

In the dimly lit room, the white-haired youth and Aiqi put down the large iron boxes in their hands. Both of them have sweat on their foreheads.

The sturdy man who opened the door just now walks out from the inner room, carrying a money box in each hand. Seeing these two money boxes, Goya is overjoyed.

"You two don't be idle, help me count the money."

Goya throws a money box to the white-haired youth, throws the other to Aiqi, and then sits on the sofa to wait.

The white-haired youth and Aiqi don't say anything. As their savior, they cannot refuse this request. The two count stacks of pounds with not-so-skilled methods, and finally determine that this is 2.5 million pounds, a huge sum of money.

"A total of 2.5 million pounds. This lady, can you tell us why you..."

Before the white-haired youth's words are finished, Goya picks up the two large money boxes and walks toward the door, muttering: "The market has been really good lately."

Goya stops at the door and smiles at the white-haired youth and Aiqi, winking her left eye.

"Thank you both, I wish you good luck."

Leaving this sentence, Goya pushes the door and leaves. The nearly 20-centimeter-thick large iron door closes with a bang.

The white-haired youth and Aiqi are full of question marks. Both of them want to know, what is the situation?

"Wuli, Wozwo, Puman, come out to take over the goods. The two transcendents sent by Miss Goya this time are of excellent quality and can be sold for a high price in the East Continent."

Just as the sturdy man with his arms crossed finishes shouting, men with thick waists and broad shoulders walk out from the inner room. I don't know when it started, but the room is filled with a floral fragrance.

"?"

The white-haired youth's gaze is a bit dazed. He looks at Aiqi, and Aiqi also looks at him dazed.

"Aiqi, it seems we were sold by that woman named Goya."

"Yes, that's right."

Aiqi answers through gritted teeth. They were sold, the transaction price 2.5 million pounds, not a penny less. They counted it with their own hands. ===== CHAPTER 3152 =====
