Chapter 326: Ambush (Part 4)

The sniper rifle was damaged, which meant the other party already knew his location.

The sniper decisively discarded the weapon, took an owl mask from his backpack, and put it on his face.

Just as he was about to relocate, he saw Chen Che leaping toward this side.

In just one second, he had decided on a countermeasure and took out his walkie-talkie: "The plan has changed; I need you all to step in."

Putting away the walkie-talkie, the Owl turned his head to glance once more at Chen Che, who was approaching rapidly, discarded his backpack, and with movements as agile as a cat, leaped from the roof of the building to the roof of another, waiting for Chen Che's arrival.

Chen Che's figure turned into an arc of light, landing steadily on the roof, and looked toward the Owl waiting for him ahead.

"Yo, not running anymore?"

Chen Che stretched his limbs and spoke playfully.

The Owl reached his right hand to his lower back and took out a gleaming short blade, the radiance of True Qi flickering on the blade's surface:

"You are the great hero who killed the Martial Arts Alliance Alliance Leader; even if I wanted to run, I couldn't."

Chen Che glanced at the short blade in his hand and didn't take it to heart: "You know me?"

"Your news is all over the major headlines; how could I not know you?"

"My meaning is, since you know me and still want to kill me, are you not afraid of death?"

The Owl sighed and said: "It's all for a living, there's no other way. Besides, my current identity is a remnant of the Martial Arts Alliance; I'm killing you to avenge the Alliance Leader, so naturally, I have to act the part to the end."

"You really are honest!" Chen Che laughed.

"Since you caught that woman, you must already know the sequence of events; there's no point in continuing to pretend."

"Then tell me, who sent you to kill me? The Li Family or the Zhou Family?"

The Owl paused and said: "I can only tell you that the mission I received was that if Han Qingfang's operation failed, I would be responsible for sniping you.

If Han Qingfang was captured, then I was to dispose of her along with you."

Chen Che looked around and asked: "You waiting here for me shouldn't mean you've accepted your fate, right?"

"Of course not!"

The Owl shook his Dagger, "It's just that the intelligence is wrong now. According to the intelligence I received, you are currently just an ordinary person without Martial Dao Cultivation, but looking at it now, you must have known someone was out to harm you and kept an ace up your sleeve.

To be able to kill the Martial Arts Alliance Alliance Leader at such a young age, to be honest, I don't believe it, but for the sake of caution, I had no choice but to do this."

As his voice fell, four black shadows vaulted onto the rooftop from below, standing in the four corners and surrounding Chen Che.

"Five against one, and we are all Grandmaster Martial Artists."

The Owl slowly closed in on Chen Che, "Great hero, I don't care if the matter of you killing the Martial Arts Alliance Alliance Leader is true or false; at your age, it is impossible to have cultivated to the Earth Master Realm. Even if you are an Earth Master, you have no chance of winning against five Grandmasters."

"So, great hero, prepare to die!"

The Owl brandished his Dagger and lunged at Chen Che, while the other four also released their True Qi and swarmed in to attack.

Chen Che shook his head with a smile: "Today I will teach you a lesson, letting you know what it means to have people beyond people, and heavens beyond... the heavens!"

"Whoosh!"

Chen Che's figure flickered, an afterimage extending toward the Owl, and the Owl widened his eyes and immediately brandished his Dagger to stab at Chen Che.

However, Chen Che's speed exceeded his imagination!

Before the thought had even fully formed, Chen Che had already struck his chest with a palm, and the Dagger in his hand had been snatched away, he didn't even know when.

"Swish!"

An arc of light slashed down diagonally; the Owl spat out a mouthful of blood, and before he could even fall backward, the skin and flesh on his knees were torn open.

The Owl flew backward, rolling all the way to the edge of the rooftop before stopping.

He endured the intense pain and struggled to lift his head, only to find that the other four were already lying on the ground splayed out, each of them bearing blood grooves of varying severity on their bodies.

One of them had even been pinned to the rooftop by the Dagger piercing through his palm.

"You... you are actually at the Earth Master Realm?! But how is this possible? Did you really kill the Martial Arts Alliance Alliance Leader?!!"

The Owl looked at Chen Che with a face full of horror, his thoughts racing, yet he could not accept reality.

"How could you be at the Earth Master Realm at such a young age?! This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

The Owl screamed hysterically, his mental state completely shattered.

"There is nothing impossible about it, and when did I ever say I was at the Earth Master Realm?"

Chen Che came to the Owl's side, looked down at him, and wore a half-smiling expression on his face.

"But if you aren't at the Earth Master Realm, how could you so easily defeat the five of us..."

The Owl was stunned, the expression on his face changing from horror to terror, "This is impossible!!! This is absolutely impossible!! That is the Heavenly Master Realm! There are only a few people in the whole world! Impossible! How old are you! This is absolutely impossible!"

"There is nothing impossible about it; just because you haven't witnessed it doesn't mean it doesn't exist."

Chen Che picked his ear and said calmly: "Now let's talk about business; which family are you from?"

"I... if I tell you, can you let me go?"

The Owl realized he had provoked an incredible powerhouse and dared not harbor any other thoughts, asking timidly.

Chen Che thought for a moment and nodded: "Hmm, if what you say satisfies me, I can let you go."

"I was hired by the Li Family; I am not a member of the Li Family, I just take money to do things. But those four are Martial Artists kept by the Zhou Family; they were here to prevent any accidents and to coordinate with my operation."

The Owl dared not withhold the slightest bit of information and told him everything.

Chen Che observed the surroundings: "Are there any other ambushes?"

"No, they and I were the final plan. Perhaps they also thought you were an ordinary person who had lost your Martial Dao Cultivation, and that deploying us would be more than enough."

The Owl said.

"Very good."

Chen Che took out his phone and tapped on the recording function, "Say what you just said again, and you four, state your identities as well."

………

The recording ended, and Chen Che put away his phone.

The Owl couldn't help but plead, "My lord, I have already told you everything I know. Please do not kill me; even if you hand me over to the Justice Inspection Bureau, I will have no complaints!"

Chen Che looked at the Owl and said solemnly, "Rest assured, I always keep my word."

"Ah—Boom!"

Chen Che kicked the Owl off the rooftop, and the Owl fell from the building, screaming.

Chen Che then turned to look at the four people from the Zhou Family: "Are you going to jump yourselves, or should I help you?"

The group of four from the Zhou Family had long since been dumbfounded, and at this moment, meeting the gaze of this god of slaughter, they were so terrified that their souls nearly left their bodies.

If they jumped themselves, they could control the force and might have a chance of survival; if they were kicked down by Chen Che, given his strength and deviousness, they would absolutely not survive!

The four of them barely hesitated; almost instinctively, they scrambled to their feet and jumped off the building in unison.

………

Forbidden City

"Mistress, the matter over there has concluded, and Chen Che has already obtained the evidence."

Tang Yu'e reported to Wu Qingkui.

"This brat is really something; his Martial Dao Cultivation is actually still there! He even fooled me!"

Wu Qingkui complained, but an irrepressible smile appeared in her eyes, "But how did he manage it? That day I clearly………"

"Junior Brother understands Medicine, and since the Great Red Sun Poison has been in his body for so many years, he is more than familiar with it. It should be impossible for him to have purged the poison and lost his cultivation at the same time."

Tang Yu'e analyzed, "Moreover, Junior Brother was likely acting out of caution; after all, the influence of those three families is vast, and there is no guarantee that news wouldn't leak out even here in the Forbidden City."

"Fortunately, it was this move of Chen Che's tonight that caused those three families to misjudge, which allowed us to catch them red-handed without any effort."

"That makes sense; this kid's brain has always been sharp."

Wu Qingkui looked up at the sky, revealing a joyful smile she had never shown before, "I must say, this kid really does have some personal charm; it's no wonder those junior sisters of yours like him so much."

"Isn't Mistress also..."

Wu Qingkui turned to look at Tang Yu'e, who immediately lowered her head and stood straight.

"What? You dare to tease your Mistress now?"

"I dare not."

Wu Qingkui sighed and remarked, "The eldest is the same; she has clearly become less rigid these past few days, and now you are like this too."

"Sigh~ Chen Che has only been in Beijing for a few days, and you girls are all changing one by one. It wouldn't be surprising if, in the end, you girls are all taken by Chen Che."

Tang Yu'e glanced up at Wu Qingkui but didn't speak.

Wu Qingkui sighed with emotion a couple more times before returning to her usual dignified demeanor: "Let's go, come with me to a place."

"Where to?"

"I've stayed in this Forbidden City for too long; it's time to go see an old friend."
