Li Yao had only been interested in Xiahou Wuxin's secret warehouse in the beginning.
But right now, he suddenly felt that Xiahou Wuxin was just like A Boxing Champion. They were both partners that he could cooperate with temporarily.
Although Xiahou Wuxin's combat ability was not as good as A Boxing Champion's, his understanding of "Manjusaka, the City in the Sky" far exceeded that of most sinners in the Land of Sins.
Other than Xiahou Wuxin, Li Yao was of a mind to save Xin Xiaoqi's life and tell her that there was hope for revenge!
However, was he supposed to go out just like that?
Xiahou Wuxin had just had a great fight with A Boxing Champion half a day ago. His entire chest had been deeply dented by A Boxing Champion, and nine out of ten of his old lives had been lost.
Also, the Battle of Liberty City had been caused by 'A Boxing Champion' Lei Zonglie.
Li Yao did not think that Xiahou Wuxin could cooperate with A Boxing Champion seamlessly, at least not right now. There were too many things that needed to be explained.
Besides, Xiahou Wuxin was not wrong. As the leader of Liberty City, he must be a key surveillance target for the Immortal Cultivators. If Li Yao showed up in front of Xiahou Wuxin with A Boxing Champion, Han Te, and the Coloured Glaze and teamed up with him, they would be even more eye-catching and would be discovered by the Immortal Cultivators at the first moment.
Pondering for a moment, Li Yao decided to keep Xiahou Wuxin and Xin Xiaoqi at a distance not too far away and protect them in secret while he observed the Immortal Cultivators' movements first.
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Right now, Xiahou Wuxin and Xin Xiaoqi were the cicada, the Immortal Cultivators were the mantis, and Li Yao and A Boxing Champion were the orioles!
"They are going to a secret warehouse that Xiahou Wuxin built over decades. There should be something we need inside."
Li Yao transmitted complicated waves to A Boxing Champion. "However, Xiahou Wuxin has become a must-kill target for the Immortal Cultivators. Until we learn more secrets about the City in the Sky, we cannot allow the Immortal Cultivators to kill him or find his secret warehouse."
"Silence?"
A Boxing Champion said in a low voice, "No wonder when I fought with him, I felt that he was lax, perfunctory, and lifeless. He didn't have the slightest bit of fighting spirit. It seems that he already knew his fate, and knew the consequences of being a lackey and a chess piece."
While they were talking, Xiahou Wuxin and Xin Xiaoqi had already stuffed a dozen magical equipment under their cloaks. After tightening the cloaks, they pushed open the door and left.
Xiahou Wuxin whispered a few words into Xin Xiaoqi's ear, and Xin Xiaoqi nodded. The two of them seemed to have split up and went out from the two sides of the landfill, but after some twists and turns, they were actually moving in the same direction, except that they were two or three hundred meters away from each other.
Li Yao kept Neltharion in the stealth state and followed Xiahou Wuxin.
At this moment, Xiahou Wuxin was heavily wounded, and his senses had plummeted. Li Yao, on the other hand, was even better at hiding Neltharion after he entered the Divinity Transformation Stage, so he was not worried that the guy would discover him.
As for Xin Xiaoqi, she would not be too far away from Xiahou Wuxin. Also, Li Yao had planted a tracking chip next to her. He was not worried that he would lose her coordinates, either.
The master and disciple who were in a special relationship dashed toward the burning ruins of the city.
At this moment, the flames of war had spread to every corner of Liberty City.
Between the dilapidated walls and the dilapidated streets, there were panic-stricken, shouting people everywhere.
Some people were fleeing in all directions, some were fishing in troubled waters, and some were taking advantage of the situation to rob others. There were even many bandit gangs who came here to capture a large number of low-level citizens to be used as temporary cannon fodder and meat shields to attack the heavily guarded material warehouses.
It was an out-and-out hell. People were no longer human beings but hideous zombies, wriggling meat blocks, and monsters that were spurting black pus.
Xin Xiaoqi and Xiahou Wuxin, enshrouded by the crowd, moved out of the city without alarming anyone.
Li Yao, A Boxing Champion, and the two little fellows, on the other hand, were lurking below their feet, ready for battle and ready to break out of the ground at any moment.
The sky was overcast, and blood was vaguely visible. There was no telling how many pairs of eyes were staring at the city of slaughter.
There was suddenly a riot in the front. A gang of ferocious bandits who had painted their faces red were capturing people as cannon fodder.
They blew up the skyscrapers on the two sides of the street with crystal bombs and blocked the two ends with super heavy crystal tanks. The turrets rotated and aimed at the fleeing people on the street.
Suddenly, the streets were filled with screams and cries for their parents.
Xiahou Wuxin tightened his cloak and tried to find a way to escape, only to find nothing after searching for a long time. The intense stink of blood on his body and his incessant coughing, however, attracted the attention of the tough bandits. Several of them looked at him warily. One of them even curled his finger at him and said, "Come here!"
"They are the gangs that came with me. They are not Xiahou Wuxin's men."
A Boxing Champion said.
"Even if they are Xiahou Wuxin's men, it will be useless. Seeing his current appearance, even his most loyal subordinates will kill him mercilessly."
Li Yao sighed. Seeing that Xiahou Wuxin seemed to be walking over dutifully with his head lowered, he knew that it would not end well.
As he expected, when the guy picked his cloak casually with a saber, revealing the storm bolters, chainswords, and crystal bombs, Xiahou Wuxin burst out and attacked as fast as lightning!
Just a moment ago, he was like an old dog on the verge of death.
But in the blink of an eye, he had turned into a ferocious wolf who was bold enough to bite off the flesh of the deities in the sky.
Before the tough bandit who picked his cloak retracted his saber, his arm had already been chopped off from the shoulder. Then, he stabbed the storm bolter into the bandit's mouth brutally. Not only was his head blown up, the face of the other tough bandit behind the unlucky guy was also blown up.
The crowd exclaimed, and the bandits shrieked. The heavy crystal tanks revolved the turrets hard, trying to lock onto Xiahou Wuxin's location. But Xiahou Wuxin darted into the bottom of the crystal tanks like a weightless dry leaf and crawled out from the rear 0.1 seconds later.
BOOM!
An enormous fireball burst out from the bottom of the crystal tanks and soared into the sky, blossoming into a blossoming flower of steel.
When all the tough bandits focused their eyes on the flower of steel, Xiahou Wuxin's eyes were focused on their throats.
In half a minute, fountains of blood appeared on the burning street one after another.
"This is the real capability of the leader of Liberty City!"
A Boxing Champion mimicked Lei Zonglie's tone and said, "Only such a person is qualified to be my first target!"
Xiahou Wuxin took care of the tough bandits quickly. While the crowd was in chaos, he turned his cloak around and put it on again. Then, he accelerated and dashed out.
During the whole process, Xin Xiaoqi had been lurking in another block not far away from him, ready to reinforce him at any moment. She was more or less relieved when she saw that he had broken out of the siege safe and sound.
Her subtle movements and expressions were scanned by Neltharion clearly.
What was also scanned clearly was the unusual, dangerous ripples in the air.
"Sh * t."
Li Yao signaled to A Boxing Champion, Han Te, and Coloured Glaze. "Be careful. Experts are coming!"
Xiahou Wuxin suddenly stopped and extended his nose to sniff. It was obvious that he had smelled the unusual scent in the air, too.
Ripples spread toward him from all directions and surrounded him like gray, hazy shadows.
The seething streets around fell silent at some point. In the middle of the battlefield where flames of war were raging, the dead silence was extremely weird.
Li Yao saw that Xiahou Wuxin pondered for a moment, obviously considering the countermeasures.
Suddenly, he clenched his fists and bellowed. He tore off the cloak on his body and crossed his arms. Unsheathing two chainswords, he accelerated to a higher level and charged toward the southwest like a burning cannonball.
Tremendous ripples, or gray shadows, immediately moved at a high speed, leaving blurred blurred shadows behind.
Xin Xiaoqi sensed her master's aura, which had been dozens of times stronger, in the northeast, too.
Li Yao saw that the cat-like woman crouched in a corner, deep in thought like her master.
Then, the cat turned into a tiger and lunged at Xiahou Wuxin without caring about anything.
The master and the disciple, who had a weird relationship, both caught the ripples, or the gray shadows.
"Idiot!"
Xiahou Wuxin screamed in desperation.
"Master, let's fight our way out together!"
Tears running out of Xin Xiaoqi's eyes, she burst into laughter and waved her two daggers.
"Hehehehe. How interesting."
Faint laughter could be heard from the blurry gray shadows around him.
Ripples began to condense. The gray shadows took off their camouflage and changed from the stealth state to the battle state. Fifteen streamlined gray Crystal Suits surrounded the two of them. They seemed to be standing sparsely, but they had blocked all the routes of escape.
The Exo in the lead pressed his helmet softly and took off his visor.
But the cold, lifeless face hidden inside the Crystal Suit was not much different from the metal visor.
It was a man whose age was impossible to tell. He was between thirty and a hundred and thirty years old. His face seemed to be covered in ten masks made of human skin. Although he was smiling brilliantly right now, he still gave a gloomy feeling from the top of his skull to the tailbone.
"Leader Xiahou, what happened exactly? Why do you look so panicked?"
The man smiled courteously. "The leadership is very satisfied with the Battle of Liberty City this time. You have made great contributions again. Together with your contributions in the past decades, it is enough for you to get a precious position in Manjusaka. I was about to tell you the great news, but you left without saying goodbye. That's … not very appropriate, is it?"
Xiahou Wuxin was silent. He looked at Xin Xiaoqi in desperation.
"Hehe …"
