Chapter 180: Dead End

"It is indeed very surprising, but I guess you won't tell me, right!" This guy Li Hong certainly wouldn't tell me who betrayed me.

"You’re smart. This matter indeed cannot be told to you. However, what I can tell you is that you would never guess who betrayed you!" Li Hong looked at me with a smile.

Hearing Li Hong’s words, I felt a bit suspicious. The person who betrayed me—I would never guess? Who could it be that I wouldn't guess? Could it be those who were least likely to betray me? But how could they betray me? I didn't believe it.

I saw the people Li Hong brought; there were at least a dozen of them. It seemed they were truly well-prepared this time, determined to kill. They didn't intend to let me run. These dozen or so people were mostly experts. As for whether they were experts built up by medicinal potions, that was unclear.

But even if they were experts built up by potions, I couldn't hold out. After all, there were a dozen of them. If each of them gave me a hit, I wouldn't be able to take it.

Li Hong sneered at me and said: "Yang Yun, you’re dead today. No one can save you!"

"You want to kill me?" I looked at Li Hong and asked bluntly.

"It’s already come to this, and you’re still asking this question. Don't you think you’re a bit ridiculous?" Li Hong looked at me with mockery.

I looked at these people in front of me, my expression a bit nervous. It seemed it would be difficult to run today. This place was quite remote, and there was no one around. If I were killed here and thrown into the river, I guess no one would see it at all.

"How is it? Have you decided how you want to die?" Li Hong looked at me standing there motionless and smiled.

Naturally, I couldn't just stand here and wait for death. Just now, I secretly used my phone to send a message to Feng Chen, hoping their support would arrive quickly. It was fortunate that Huang Laohu and the others didn't come today; if they had, they would definitely be finished.

Regarding the guy who leaked the information to Li Hong, I felt an itch of hatred in my heart. If I found out who this person was, I would definitely kill him.

I looked around. The light in the far east was dimmer. If I ran there, there might be a chance to escape. I turned and ran straight to the east. I hastily struck out at the two or three people blocking my way to open a path. However, there were a dozen of them after all. Although they didn't have any techniques, their speed and strength were relatively high, and they were chasing behind me very quickly.

Li Hong hurriedly shouted from behind: "Catch him for me, don't let him run!"

The people behind rushed over like they were crazy, and I also suffered quite a few injuries because of this group of crazy people, but I didn't give up. At this moment, I only had one thought, and that was to escape.

However, this time I didn't seem to have my previous luck. Without Xu Hongzhi and Zhang Yinuo and the others, maybe I really was useless. I ran to the end of the road, and ahead of me was a large river.

This river was very famous in our area; it was the well-known moat. No one knew how many people had died in this river, and the water was very rapid. Even someone who knew how to swim might die if they fell into the river, let alone me, who had never learned to swim at all.

Because I stopped, Li Hong’s people caught up. Li Hong looked at me, panting. After all, he hadn't taken any strengthening potions and hadn't practiced Wu Gong, so his physical strength was much worse compared to us.

Li Hong panted and pointed at me, cursing angrily: "Keep running, you brat, why aren't you running anymore? Damn, I’m exhausted!"

Seeing this situation, my gaze was fixed on Li Hong in front of me. Nowadays, the only hope for survival was Li Hong in front of me. As the saying goes, to capture the bandits, first capture the king. If I could control Li Hong in the chaos, the other side certainly wouldn't move against me easily.

I gritted my teeth and, ignoring the people around me, rushed straight toward Li Hong. Seeing this scene, Li Hong was also startled. Just as I was about to reach Li Hong’s side, someone suddenly appeared and blocked Li Hong.

I subconsciously struck out at him, but the other party was faster. He slapped out with one palm. This palm was too fast, and I was sent flying by this palm, falling to the ground.

I only felt as if I had been hit by a truck just now. My chest was extremely uncomfortable, and I felt something was about to surge out. Then, I couldn't hold it back anymore, and a mouthful of blood was forcibly sprayed onto the ground.

I gently wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth and looked weakly at the person in front of me. This person’s skills were terrifying, clearly much stronger than me. I felt he was even stronger than Zhang Yinuo. It seemed he must be an expert cultivated by the Li family itself. I didn't expect the Li family to bring such an expert just to deal with me this time. They really wanted me dead.

Li Hong gently patted his chest at this moment, then glared at me angrily and cursed: "Damn, fortunately I had anticipated this, you scared me. Yang Yun, you’re dead today, prepare to wait for death!"

I was extremely weak from the palm strike by that person just now, and I stumbled and couldn't stand steadily when I got up.

Just then, a sound suddenly came from outside.

"Nobody move, put your hands up!"

Hearing this voice, I felt a joy in my heart. It seemed to be Feng Chen’s reinforcements. Sure enough, the one you can rely on at this time is the state.

Li Hong’s side was in a panic, but Li Hong shouted directly: "Don't worry about them, you guys kill Yang Yun for me!"

Li Hong knew that if Yang Yun ran away this time, it would be too difficult to catch him in the future. And from this matter, he also discovered that it was Yang Yun who had always been in contact with the authorities. If he didn't keep Yang Yun here today, the Li family’s situation would be even more difficult in the future.

The other side’s people were like crazy, not caring at all about the official people behind them, and rushed straight toward me. Behind me was the moat. Looking at their appearance, they were determined not to stop until I was dead. At this moment, the only chance to live was to jump into the river. Although jumping into the river was basically certain death, there was always a glimmer of hope in my heart.

I was still hoping that the people Feng Chen brought would come to save me quickly, but after watching for a long time, the other side didn't come over at all and was still standing in the distance, not knowing what they were doing. I suddenly realized, could it be that the Li family had also infiltrated the official people? It was clear that the people who came weren't sincerely here to save me, but were just doing it symbolically. No wonder Li Hong said not to worry about them. It seemed Li Hong had known this long ago.

I looked with hatred at Li Hong, who was grinning not far away, and then looked at the pitch-black night. There wasn't a single star; all I could see was endless darkness. Perhaps this was my life. My life had always been a piece of darkness, and not a single ray of light had ever appeared. ===== CHAPTER 181 =====
