Chapter 428: Leave a Live One?

"I was just about to say it, little brother. After I finish, if you gentlemen feel there is anything improper, feel free to speak up, and we can discuss and find a way together."

"Fine."

Yan Hua paced around the room while speaking incessantly: "If we launch a direct frontal attack, it is inevitable that someone will get hurt, which is truly unnecessary. After all, the enemy is in the light and we are in the dark; we can completely adopt a strategy of defeating them one by one."

"Oh, and how do we defeat them one by one?"

"I will contact Hai Qiong in a moment and make an appointment for them to come here. Brother Meng, if you and the others lie in ambush in the surroundings beforehand, then when I find an excuse to say I am going to relieve myself, that is when you and the others should strike immediately.

Although that guy Hai Qiong is a C-Class Awakened, his strength is nothing special, and the three or four people remaining are all D-rank. With the skills of you gentlemen, wouldn't it be effortless to take care of them?"

"After we take care of them, we will head straight to the Awakened Association, find that person surnamed Su, and capture him in one fell swoop!

Hmph, even if that guy is powerful, so what? Could he possibly stand against so many of us? Brother Meng, what do you think of this battle plan of mine? Is there anything that needs improvement?"

Yan Hua smiled obsequiously, looking at Meng Rang, waiting for his affirmation.

He had racked his brains for a long time to come up with this plan, and he felt it was quite perfect.

"Impressive." Meng Rang gave a thumbs up and praised, "That Hai Qiong probably never dreamed that a net had already been cast for him here. It's just that there is one thing I don't quite understand: are you sure you have the confidence to lure him over?"

"On that point, Brother Meng, please rest assured." Yan Hua said with full confidence, "I still have this much ability; I can definitely lure all of them over. When the time comes, it will all depend on the performance of you and your men, Brother Meng."

Hearing this, Meng Rang turned his head to look at Lao San, and the latter nodded slightly, indicating he understood his meaning.

Originally, they had planned to take Yan Hua down after recording the audio, but now it seemed that if they turned on him after Hai Qiong was tricked into coming, it might achieve a better effect.

"Good." Meng Rang slapped his thigh and said, "Brother Yan, you can put your heart at ease. As long as you can successfully lure those people over, we guarantee we will wipe them all out. There will absolutely be no mistakes or any word leaking out. After killing Hai Qiong and his group, we will go together to the Awakened Association to settle the score with that person surnamed Su."

"That's great!"

Yan Hua was so excited he almost jumped up; he couldn't wait to rush to the Awakened Association right now and take care of all those people.

"By the way, Brother Meng, I have one more small request. If you gentlemen could help me with it, I would be truly grateful." A trace of hesitation appeared on Yan Hua's face, but he still gathered his courage to speak.

"Speak freely. As long as it is within our power, we will certainly do it for you." Meng Rang said with a smile. Anyway, they were just empty promises; agreeing to them now wouldn't hurt, and it might even make Yan Hua lower his guard further.

"That person surnamed Su, and Hai Qiong—I hope you gentlemen can try your best to leave one alive. To just let them die like that would be letting them off too easily." Yan Hua said through gritted teeth, his eyes flashing with malice.

The few of them looked at each other, all feeling a bit amused in their hearts.

This Yan Hua really overestimated them; how could something like leaving a survivor be so easy to do?

If he had bothered to learn even a little bit of information about that President Su, he wouldn't have said such things.

However, who knows—after all, it wasn't him personally taking action, which was why he could so naively make such a request.

"Cough, Brother Meng, I know this matter is difficult, so it would be best if you can do it, but if you really can't, it doesn't matter."

Seeing that Meng Rang and the others didn't respond immediately, Yan Hua hurriedly added, fearing that this request would make the other party dissatisfied and unwilling to cooperate with him anymore.

"Brother Yan, we will... try our best." Meng Rang said, pretending to be reluctant.

"Yes, good, good." Yan Hua nodded with a smile, "Once we take care of those two, then this Yongan City will be yours, Brother Meng. I would like to congratulate you gentlemen in advance."

"It's not even a done deal yet, don't be in such a hurry to talk about these things." Lao San waved his hand and said, "You should just call that Hai Qiong over first. We don't want to face two C-Class Awakened and a large group of D-rank Awakened in a head-on confrontation at the same time."

"Yes, yes, yes. I'll call that guy Hai Qiong right now. You gentlemen can rest assured; he will definitely come."

Yan Hua smiled triumphantly, as if he had already seen the pathetic sight of Hai Qiong falling for the trap and kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.

Meng Rang and the others also began to laugh; in their eyes, this Yan Hua was truly like a ridiculous clown.

Laugh all you want; there will be a time for you to cry later.

On the Wasteland, several figures moved forward as swiftly as a gale.

It was precisely Wei Xiong and his three companions, who had rushed over from Wuji City.

The two B-Class Awakened took the lead, charging forward with vigorous strides, while Wei Xiong and Tian Wei followed closely behind at a distance of twenty or thirty meters.

"Brother Wei, in another half hour, we will be able to reach Yongan City." Lv Hua turned his head to look back and said to Wei Xiong.

"Good." A trace of sinister intent flashed in Wei Xiong's eyes. Once he stepped into Yongan City and obtained that guy's aura, no matter where the other party fled to the ends of the earth, he would never show mercy!

"Brother Wei, I am truly sorry." Tian Wei said with a bitter smile, full of guilt, "It is all my fault for having poor strength and dragging down everyone's pace; otherwise, we would have already arrived at Yongan City by now."

"Brother Tian, saying such things makes us strangers. It doesn't matter if we are a little late. Besides, only by preserving your own strength will you be able to successfully find that guy's trail once we reach Yongan City."

"Brother Wei, rest assured. Once we reach the destination, I will definitely be able to find that guy's whereabouts."

"Hahaha, let's go."

Just as Wei Xiong finished saying the word "go," suddenly, a black shadow shot over from the distance like a sharp bolt of lightning.

"Who is it!" Lv Hua and Yu Feng both instantly sensed the unusual movement.

However, the black shadow was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it had already closed in within a hundred meters.

Immediately after, the black shadow leaped high into the air, holding its hands high above its head; the pitch-black blade in its hands reflected a blinding, dazzling light under the sun.

In an instant, a massive white Blade Qi, fully twenty-five meters long, suddenly appeared, carrying a majestic momentum capable of shaking the heavens and earth, and slashed fiercely toward the person below!

Wherever the Blade Qi passed, it tore through the air, triggering a series of deafening sonic booms that exploded in the ears like rolling thunder.

"Not good!"

The moment the massive white Blade Qi appeared, Yu Feng reacted extremely quickly, immediately activating his ability while simultaneously using the power of a Space Item to instantly teleport more than a hundred meters away.

Wei Xiong and Tian Wei, who were behind, were not slow either; the moment they saw the Blade Qi appear, they also quickly teleported a hundred meters away.

Lv Hua also wanted to teleport to dodge, but he discovered in horror that the space-time around him had been completely locked by this strike, leaving him no room to dodge at all!

His heart skipped a beat, and he tried to use a teleportation item to escape the area, only to discover with shock that the teleportation item was completely useless!

Cold sweat instantly broke out in dense beads on his forehead.

"How could this be? How could it be like this?"

His mind went blank; this sudden strike was simply too swift and fierce, leaving him without any mental preparation whatsoever.
