"Now that your disguise has been torn apart, just let me see your real face!"
Li Yao sniffed. Protecting the female bodyguard behind him with one hand, he snatched at the bald upstart with the other hand. After only a casual snatch, three overlapping hand prints immediately appeared in midair. The first one was the surging spiritual energy, the second one was the rolling air, and the third one was the color of blood, which snatched the shiny bald head like three giant hands at the same time.
The bald upstart did not expect that such an unparalleled expert like Li Yao would appear out of nowhere when he was about to succeed. His face immediately changed color.
Sensing the strength that Li Yao hid in the hand prints, he did not have the courage to take them head-on at all. Instead, he shrank his body and crawled out of the white fur, throwing it at Li Yao's hand prints as a 'stand-in', while he retreated as fast as a shadow!
In an instant, this person's skin was actually soft and dense like jelly, constantly changing and reshaping. From a tall and burly bald man, he turned into a thin and small mediocre man. His facial features were ordinary and unremarkable, like a mirror that didn't leave the slightest impression on others.
Neither the tearing of Li Yao's hand prints nor the entanglement of the mental devil in Neltharion could stop the man. Like a cluster of smoke that was dispersing and gathering, he dashed to almost a hundred meters away in the blink of an eye, surrounded by dozens of bodyguards and guards.
At this moment, three minutes had passed since Li Yao detonated the smoke grenade at the beginning. The alarms of the entire Seven Seas Grand Market were ringing. Defenders with live ammunition were flooding in from various directions nonstop.
The man who had revealed his true form and looked like a mirror stared at Li Yao deeply. His eyes, which were as sharp as a razor, seemed to have seen through Li Yao's identity instantly. Then, he pressed his fingers to his ears softly and shouted, "Capture the director's personal female bodyguard and the wretched special-level assassin. They are accomplices to the director's murder!"
The mirror-like man seemed to be of a high position in the defense forces of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors. After he gave the order, countless eyes immediately darted at Li Yao and the female bodyguard, together with the mystic rays of countless guns that were aimed at them.
Li Yao pondered for a moment who the 'sordid special assassin' was. Flames of fury immediately spurted out of his eyes.
He meant to take down the mirror-like man in one go, but if the guy was really an ace assassin in the Divinity Transformation Stage who was protected by so many defenders, it was impossible for him to take him down easily.
Besides, his purpose was not to kill anybody but to ensure Jin Yuyan's safety. He also had to stabilize the situation in the Seven Seas Grand Market and draw the entire Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors to his side.
Even if he went on a killing spree in the Seven Seas Grand Market, collapsed the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors, and even killed the mirror-like man, it would be nothing more than a wedding dress for the four families. It would be of no help at all.
"Hey!"
Without looking back, Li Yao said to the female bodyguard behind him, "B-Sister, you are actually not a woman but Jin Yuyan, aren't you? You have to be Jin Yuyan! Otherwise, my reputation will be ruined! If you are Jin Yuyan, ask your subordinates to cease fire. You saw it just now, didn't you? The bald man spurted dozens of daggers from his fingers, trying to kill you. It was I who saved your life without caring about anything! He is a bad guy, and I am a good guy. Ask your subordinates to capture him now! "
The female bodyguard did not respond for a long time.
When Li Yao looked back, he discovered that "she" couldn't have looked more confused and miserable, as if something heartbreaking had happened to her.
It was not until Li Yao called her for the second time that her face turned ruthless, and she said in a low voice, "Let's go!"
"What?"
Li Yao was greatly confused.
The enemy did not deny his identity as "Jin Yuyan", but since "she" was Jin Yuyan, the director of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors, could she not command all the bodyguards and guards?
Before Li Yao figured out what was going on, the ferocious firepower had already smashed at the two of them like a storm.
Even with Li Yao's Cultivation in the Divinity Transformation Stage, it was impossible for him to ignore the coverage of hundreds of Crystal Suit and a thousand battle puppets.
Besides, he had to protect Jin Yuyan, who was an admin-type expert in the Divinity Transformation Stage. In terms of combat ability, he was only in the Yuanying Stage. He would be dead for sure if he was bombarded by a thousand crystal cannons at the same time.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
BOOM! BOOM! A series of fireballs exploded outside of the spiritual shield that Li Yao condensed in a hurry, as if he and Jin Yuyan had been tossed into a solar oven to be roasted. Walls of fire thousands of degrees in all directions pressed toward the center nonstop. Had it not been for Li Yao's immense spiritual energy, the barrage alone would've been enough to melt every cell of the two of them.
When the fireballs dimmed, Li Yao released his telepathic thoughts to search again, only to discover that the mirror-like man was already gone.
Li Yao secretly cursed. His telepathic thoughts expanded like a tide, activating all the Cosmos Rings that he had abandoned in the garbage cans and the corners of the street, releasing all the smoke grenades, stun grenades, and shrieking grenades and exploding them brutally!
Once again, the Seven Seas Grand Market trembled as if the world were collapsing. The whole space was covered by the dense fog that was as thick as ink. Even the search and communication with telepathic thoughts were cut off. Both the defenders and the assassins from the four families lost their targets. They exclaimed in shock and shot at each other in the direction of the sound.
Li Yao drew a circle on the ground with the tip of his feet. Pouring his spiritual energy into his feet, he stomped hard and immediately left a hole on the floor.
The Seven Seas Grand Market was not established on a solid planet. Even the asteroid at the center had been riddled with holes a thousand years ago. Below their feet were actually layers of tubes and decks.
Dragging Jin Yuyan, Li Yao penetrated through seven decks in a row. After every deck that he passed, he would release more smoke grenades from the Cosmos Rings that he carried with him, turning the ten square kilometers of the seven decks into a dark, smoky forest.
"Hey, sister, should I call you 'brother' or should I call you 'brother'?"
With a storm of bullets behind him and roars all around, Li Yao felt that Jin Yuyan was not running fast enough. He simply carried the guy on his shoulder and accelerated to the highest speed. "If you are really Jin Yuyan, you must know about secret tunnels and secret chambers, right? Where are we going? "
"… This way!"
The female bodyguard who looked like a gorilla hesitated for a long time. Finally, she made up her mind to trust Li Yao and pointed the way for him.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
Li Yao's telepathic thoughts surged out, and his spiritual energy assaulted the surveillance cameras within ten square kilometers like a superstorm, shattering all the crystal cameras. Then, he scanned the locations of all the defenders and the pursuers and set a route that allowed him to avoid everybody perfectly before he rushed forward quickly.
It was not until six hours later that they finally got rid of everybody and reached the "safe house" that Jin Yuyan talked about.
It was an abandoned warehouse. Something was wrong with the thermostat rune arrays, and the temperature was so low that the water would be frozen into ice. Also, there was no illumination. It was dark and deep, like an enormous iron coffin.
Despite his brute strength, Li Yao could not go on a killing spree. He could only flee for six hours under the storm of bullets. Even though his Cultivation was above the Divinity Transformation Stage, he was more or less frustrated. Leaving the female bodyguard who looked like a chimpanzee aside, he went to a corner and breathed hard. Then, he turned on the communication with the little lion. "Jialing, what's going on out there right now?"
"The situation is very chaotic, but it is gradually being brought under control."
Li Jialing said, "It is said that the four Kurfürst families bribed 'Red Lady', Jin Yuyan's most capable assistant and the former ace assassin and the leader of the Bloody Skull, to assassinate Jin Yuyan.
"Right now, Red Lady and the assassins of the Bloody Skull under her command, as well as the other assassins sent by the four families, are on the run in desperation. However, I don't think that they can get away."
"Is that so …"
Li Yao scratched his chin. He was very clear that, whether or not the four families had bribed Red Lady, her shot missed the target. Even Jin Yuyan's stand-in was not killed by Red Lady. "Then, who's in charge of the Seven Seas Grand Market right now? Now that Jin Yuyan has been killed, somebody has to be in charge of the situation, right?"
"Two people."
Li Jialing said, "One of them is Qi Yuanbao, a senior manager of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors. He has always been in charge of the businesses related to mercenaries and the black market in the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors. He is also in charge of the security of the Seven Seas Grand Market. Now that the director has been assassinated, it's only natural that he has to clean up the mess.
"The other one is Jin Yuyan's wife, well, his widow 'Wuying Qinxin'. She was a manager of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors in the first place and had a lot of connections and influence. After Jin Yuyan's death, all his shares naturally belonged to his widow. So, nobody had any objection to her working with Qi Yuanbao to maintain the situation."
"Jin Yuyan's … widow?"
Li Yao was stunned for a long time. Turning around and looking at the haggard, frustrated female bodyguard, he felt that the top of her head was turning green. Pausing for a moment, he complimented her again, "Not bad. You've collected so much intelligence in only a few hours?"
"It's not bad."
Li Jialing said casually, but he could not hide the pride in his voice as he explained, "Just now, two assassins of the four families came to my place in panic and intended to kill me, but I captured them and interrogated them. That's how they got some critical intelligence." "Alright.
Just stay outside. Contact me if there are any new changes in the situation. Also, be careful. Assassins in the Divinity Transformation Stage such as the 'four gods of death', even if their level is not the highest, are absolutely adept at killing. They are not to be messed with. If you do run into them, do not fight them but run away immediately. A great man knows when to yield and when to stand tall. It's a tactical retreat. It's not embarrassing to come back for revenge in thirty to fifty years or even a hundred years! "
Li Yao reminded Li Jialing many times before he finally cut off the communication and looked back at the frustrated female bodyguard.
Staring at the two lumps the size of basketballs on the woman's chest, he scanned carefully for a while, but he was still not sure.
He intended to release his telepathic thoughts and scan the woman's crotch again, but it did not seem to be a good idea.
