Although Red Lady was one of the murderers who tried to assassinate Jin Yuyan, she had been bribed by the four families and belonged to the opposite side of Qi Yuanbao and Wuying Qinxin.
Also, Qi Yuanbao and Wuying Qinxin had seen through her plan but intentionally allowed her to carry out the assassination, which was tantamount to throwing her out as bait. Naturally, she hated Qi Yuanbao and Wuying Qinxin's guts.
The fact that Qi Yuanbao's remaining soul was captured so quickly later was partly thanks to Red Lady's sniping in the sky.
Therefore, Li Yao suggested that Jin Yuyan lock Red Lady not far away from Qi Yuanbao and Wuying Qinxin on purpose so that the two groups of assassins who belonged to different forces would restrain and fight each other, which would be more beneficial for their control.
It never occurred to him that Red Lady, a battle-type Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivator, would be killed without a sound or a reason just like that.
Li Yao looked around and discovered quite a few deep footprints on the walls and even the ceiling of the corridor, as if somebody had stomped on them with tremendous strength.
The footprints were narrow and obviously belonged to a woman.
Shua! Shua! Shua!
Shua! Shua! Li Yao calculated and sketched the scene at that time.
At that time, the explosion deep inside the plaza destroyed the security measures and barriers on all the floors, allowing Wuying Qinxin and Red Lady to escape together.
Red Lady, Li Yao, and Jin Yuyan had reached a deal a long time ago. She was apparently going to abandon the darkness and join the light. The reason why she was kept under house arrest in this place was that she was asked to keep an eye on Wuying Qinxin and Qi Yuanbao.
Red Lady failed the assassination and could not escape back to the four families' side. Naturally, she was only loyal to Li Yao and Jin Yuyan. Therefore, she went forward to stop Wuying Qinxin the moment she discovered that she had escaped.
Perhaps, in her eyes, Wuying Qinxin was just a weak Meditation Healer who could've been captured without much trouble, right?
But out of her expectations, Wuying Qinxin made irregular, small-scale movements on the walls and the ceiling of the corridor at an extremely high speed. Even Red Lady, a top sniper, failed to capture her traces.
Judging from the depth of the footprints, Wuying Qinxin should've covered a hundred meters in 0.1 seconds and appeared in front of Red Madame. Then, she destroyed Red Madame's internal organs heavily and stabbed her finger into the center of Red Madame's eyebrows. Flames of spiritual energy spurted out of her finger abruptly, burning up Red Madame's spiritual root and even her brain.
The entire process didn't take more than a second. The top sniper of the empire didn't even have time to react before he lost his life.
How … How did she do it exactly?
Thinking in Wuying Qinxin's place, Qinxin's, Red Lady's, Red Lady's, Red Lady to's, Red Qinxin's, Red's, Red of the Blood ', and Red Lady of the Of of of Her of Her.
Although Red Lady was a sniper and was not good at melee combat, she was a battle-type Immortal Cultivator after all. Her melee combat abilities were much better than those of the battle-type Yuanying anyway.
Of course, since she was Jin Yuyan's murderer, neither Li Yao nor Jin Yuyan would've allowed her to maintain her full strength in the room of Yuanying. Therefore, Jin Yuyan forced Red Lady to take drugs that could confine the soul, and Li Yao cast shackles on Red Lady's wrists and ankles that blocked the circulation of spiritual energy, making her only capable of unleashing the combat ability of the beginning level of Yuanying.
However, even if she was a sniper in the beginning level of Yuanying, it was still impossible for a Meditation Healer such as Wuying Qinxin to kill her instantly!
Wuying Qinxin's body was no different from that of other non-battle-type Immortal Cultivators. It was relatively soft and vulnerable, which Li Yao and Jin Yuyan had both examined carefully. There was no mistake about it.
Even if she had grasped certain secret techniques that could allow her to exert ten times her combat ability by overloading her soul with strong psychological cues, her body would've been too weak to bear it at all.
Such a high-intensity outburst of spiritual energy would've burnt her into ashes in a couple of hours.
Was she crazy? What was she trying to do exactly?
While thinking, Li Yao suddenly felt that something was not right. He rubbed Red Lady's forehead carefully and picked up a piece of bone that was somewhat weird.
The bone that was even smaller than a tooth did not seem to be a fragment of a skull but more like the finger bone of a human being.
Red Lady's hands, on the other hand, were absolutely intact. Even her skin and flesh were not damaged at all, much less the broken bones.
Looking at the broken bones, Li Yao's mind suddenly conjured up such a scene — —
In the crazy explosions, Wuying Qinxin rushed out of the prison cell crazily. Surrounded by abnormal flames of spiritual energy, she lunged at a few tall, strong guards who were wearing Crystal Suits.
There was no telling where she got the strength that was far beyond her capacity, but she indeed beat all the guards to death. However, her feeble body could not bear the scourge of the spiritual energy that was like a flood and the damage that was bounced back from her heavy punches. Her ten fingers exploded like firecrackers. Even the finger bones were broken, and the broken bones were splashing everywhere.
But she was like an animal that had lost the sense of pain. Not caring about the damage of her hands at all, she continued to kill Red Lady with the broken hands. Then, she broke the glass window at the end of the corridor that was embedded with dozens of defense rune arrays and escaped.
Li Yao turned around and checked the wounds of the guards. As he expected, he found even more broken bones inside the helmets of two of the guards that were deeply dented.
If he pieced all of these bones together, he would be able to piece together a few complete finger bones.
Li Yao shuddered coldly.
The feeling that Wuying Qinxin gave him was not that of a Meditation Healer at all. She was not even a battle-type Immortal Cultivator, but a ferocious beast that had completely lost her sanity and had her soul under the control of a devil!
Li Yao grabbed all the broken bones and darted out of the broken window at the end of the corridor through which Wuying Qinxin escaped.
"Neltharion, attack!"
The "Blood Stripe Virus", the antecedent of the mental devil, was an extraterrestrial bacterium that parasitized and moved based on blood. It was most sensitive to the smell and type of blood. The source of the blood could be traced from the tiny blood streaks left on the pieces.
Besides, Wuying Qinxin was burning her soul so blatantly. Her spiritual energy was definitely abnormal and could not be covered at all.
Li Yao expanded the search of the dozens of square kilometers nearby with his telepathic thoughts. As he expected, he found traces of Wuying Qinxin in the downtown area that was densely populated.
"Boom, boom boom boom boom!"
At this moment, a series of violent explosions rang out in all directions at the same time. It was as if the entire planet was going to explode. Countless tall buildings were on the verge of collapsing, and black fog permeated the entire world.
Damn it. How many accomplices of Wuying Qinxin are lurking outside? How many crystal bombs have they planted in the Seven Seas Grand Market? Why are they doing all this?
Li Yao jumped and dashed among the skyscrapers, tracing the traces of Wuying Qinxin's blood.
New explosions were echoing nonstop. The explosions gradually spread to the downtown area, casting the super cities where tens of millions of people lived into chaos and order.
Suddenly, dazzling sparks burst out in the blue sky and the white clouds above everybody's head. Then, the blue sky and the white clouds were twisted into messy swirls and disappeared in the end, revealing the cold iron dome.
The artificial dome had collapsed, and the entire asteroid was mired in darkness. Even all the energy supply had been cut off. Cries, screams, and collisions of shuttles echoed in the darkness. The shuttles that had lost their automatic navigation were crashing into each other like headless flies. Some even hit the skyscrapers nearby, resulting in countless tragedies.
Only the emergency illumination rune arrays that provided energy independently were emitting dark red brilliance, but they could only illuminate panicked faces, making everybody even more panicked.
This is truly a disaster!
Li Yao was even more certain that it was not Wuying Qinxin's temporary plan, and it was definitely not a mess that she created in order to escape. Judging from her blatant consumption of spiritual energy and the destruction of her own body, she did not intend to escape alive at all.
In order to completely cut off the energy supply in the central area of the Seven Seas Grand Market, the mainframe crystal processor of the entire asteroid had to be controlled in advance. At the very least, tremendous viruses had to be implanted into the mainframe crystal processor.
What Li Yao hated the most was tangling with such a despicable, shameless, and clever enemy who could even give up their lives for their ideals!
Right when he was about to grab the enemy's tail, Wuying Qinxin's coordinates suddenly disappeared from the ground.
As it turned out, she had crawled into the underground world of tubes that was as complicated as a maze.
Without any hesitation, Li Yao dived into the hole that the enemy had crawled into, too.
The ground was filled with smoke and chaos. It was even more pitch-black below the ground. There was no light at all.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
BOOM! BOOM! Explosions were breaking out nonstop among the interconnected cables and tubes of spiritual energy, bringing a flickering brightness to the dark world but making the places beyond the brightness even darker.
There was no telling how deep into the asteroid they had reached, and the exit to the surface was nowhere to be seen. Wuying Qinxin suddenly stopped, as if she were intentionally waiting for Li Yao's arrival.
Her silhouette was reflected in the flickering light, making her look like a crazily dancing snake-haired banshee.
Fully alert, Li Yao stepped into Wuying Qinxin's nest carefully. Finally, he saw the woman's real face in the furiously burning fire. He couldn't help but gasp hard.
As he expected, the series of attacks and escapes that were beyond the limits had seriously damaged Wuying Qinxin's own body.
Not only were her hands broken, but her palms had been completely rubbed bald, leaving only two bleeding arms. Even her legs were weirdly twisted, with countless white bone spurs protruding out of her flesh. It was almost excruciating to look at.
Also, she had lost so much weight after only half a day. Her flesh and blood seemed to have been sacrificed to a mysterious force, turning her into a wrinkled, living skeleton.
