Old Li felt his heart ache as he looked at the flames in the surroundings. Luoyang City, where they had lived for decades, had become riddled with holes overnight because of these outsiders.
At this moment, he wished he could kill all the enemies in the stronghold. But Old Li also knew he could not do it.
The Knight's combat prowess far exceeded that of a typical supernatural being's, but there were just too many of them.
Moreover, the consortiums had started avoiding them for the past two days because they were afraid of the Knight's combat prowess. Faced with so many saboteurs, Old Li and the others were like firefighters who were running around trying to put out a fire.
At this moment, Old Li's satellite phone rang. Luo Yunxian's voice came through. "Xu Ke has disappeared. He might be thinking of ending the chaos himself."
When Old Li heard Luo Yunxian's words, he did not say anything for a long time. Next to him, Ren Xiaosu asked, "What's the matter?"
"Xu Ke suddenly left the Qinghe Group building to face the enemies alone," Lee Young-yoon said with a sigh.
Ren Xiaosu was puzzled. "Why? Isn't everything fine? The enemies have been stopped, and none of your Knight has been killed. Why would he suddenly go face the enemies alone? "
Old Li did not answer his question. "A Knight can also change."
Ren Xiaosu was stunned on the spot. For so long, he had treated the Knight as a whole. He even treated the Knight as a symbol that symbolized integrity, unity, and courage.
But now that Old Li suddenly said a Knight could also change, he realized Xu Ke had probably sensed an unprecedented crisis and did not want to implicate others because of the Qinghe Group. As such, he chose to end this chaotic battle himself and die like a hero.
That's right, there was no such thing as a true utopia in this world. Ren Xiaosu should have understood this a long time ago.
Ren Xiaosu frowned and asked, "Who is it? Do I know him? Did you already know? "
Old Li and the others must have known. Otherwise, only Xu Ke, Zhang Qingxi, Qin Sheng, and Old Li were present when they had dinner together. There were clearly other Knight in the stronghold.
"You don't." Old Li shook his head and said.
"Why would the Knight collude with the consortiums to overthrow the Qinghe Group?" Ren Xiaosu even found it a little unbelievable.
"They're not colluding with the consortiums." Old Li said, "It's just that after so many years, the Knight's relationship with the Qinghe Group has become tighter and tighter. They often have to handle a lot of the Qinghe Group's affairs on their behalf, so some people are finally dissatisfied. Some people feel that Xu Ke no longer acts like a Knight. At a meeting two years ago, someone suggested that the Knight should be completely separated from the Qinghe Group. In the end, the matter was left unsettled. That's why Xu Ke has been blaming himself for the past two years. He's been thinking of ways to change things, but now that things have come to this, it's going to be very difficult to change things. Unless he destroys the Qinghe Group or finds someone worthy of his trust to take over the Qinghe Group. "
Ren Xiaosu lamented, "They're really not a bunch of normal people."
How could a normal person not want power and money?
Of course, normal people wouldn't go to the high mountains and high skies to search for the boundary between life and death.
"Then where's Xu Ke now?" Ren Xiaosu asked, "Let's go and help him. How can he handle such a big issue by himself?"
"Let's split up and look for him." Old Li sighed and said, "We might not be able to find him in such a chaotic environment. He'll definitely lead the enemy to a place where it's not easy for us to find him."
At this moment, the entire stronghold was ablaze with flames everywhere. Many stronghold residents were forced to the streets by the fire, so it was very difficult to locate Xu Ke amid the chaos.
After Ren Xiaosu split up with Old Li and the others, he immediately jumped up to the rooftop and quickly searched for Xu Ke. But in a city with hundreds of thousands of people, it was too difficult to find someone who had the intention to hide.
The flames in the stronghold erupted again. It seemed like someone had detonated another buried explosive.
Ren Xiaosu was standing on top of a tall building and turned a blind eye to this. He was a little confused. Where should he go to find Xu Ke?
But all of a sudden, Ren Xiaosu noticed someone was also leaping from the rooftop and heading north. He sped up and chased after that person.
That person was shuttling between the buildings when he suddenly realized a figure had caught up to him. That person patted him on the shoulder and said, "Are you going to look for Xu Ke?"
The supernatural being was stunned for a moment, but he ignored Ren Xiaosu. Instead, he sped up again in an attempt to shake off Ren Xiaosu.
But when he sped up, Ren Xiaosu also sped up.
Ren Xiaosu shouted beside him, "I'm asking you if you're going to look for Xu Ke!"
The supernatural being sped up again but realized he could not run any further. When he turned around, he was surprised to see Ren Xiaosu grabbing onto his shirt. Ren Xiaosu said with a dark expression, "I'm asking you a question. Didn't you hear me?"
The supernatural being wondered, "Didn't your superiors tell you where to gather? Who the fuck are you … Ah! "
As he spoke, Ren Xiaosu picked up the supernatural being and leaped into the air. Then he threw him to the ground between two tall buildings. The supernatural being was thrown to the ground like a cannonball, and many of his bones were broken.
He struggled to look up but saw that Ren Xiaosu did not stop at all and continued running north.
…
Xu Ke stood in the middle of the long street in Wangchunmen and looked around with a smile. "Who else is coming?"
Xu Ke's body was covered in blood, and the corpses of eight supernatural beings were lying around him.
The might of the Knight had made the surrounding supernatural beings stop in their tracks. Everyone was waiting for their superiors to give them instructions for their next move.
Some of the supernatural beings had rashly ganged up on him earlier, but the eight of them could not even defeat Xu Ke.
Before this, everyone had made many speculations about Xu Ke's combat strength, but they did not expect him to be so strong. Before this, they did not even know that Xu Ke was also a member of the Knight.
Seeing that the supernatural beings did not make a move, Xu Ke looked at the increasing number of people on the long street. There were supernatural beings as well as armed combatants.
Amidst the ambush, Xu Ke suddenly laughed out loud. "You're just a bunch of demons and monsters. The Knight is here. Do you dare to fight me?!"
At this moment, Xu Ke recalled the moment he climbed to the top of the mountain and saw the sun rise. It was shining brightly.
Looking back, it was three feet and three inches from the sky!
Galloping, it was as if thousands of horses were fighting fiercely!
Then, just like Qin Sheng, he immaturely carved his name on the mountain and wrote, "Only faith, the sun, and the moon are everlasting."
At this moment, he suddenly remembered the only word on the top of the mountain that did not have a name inscribed on it: "Forever young."
Perhaps this was the true meaning of being a Knight. To always be passionate, to always be sincere, to always be on the road, and to always be a young man.
Ever since he became the leader of the Qinghe Group, it felt like he had not felt so carefree in a long time. Perhaps Huang Xiaoyu was right. A Knight should not be entangled in the secular world? But it was too late to say all that now.
It was time for him to accept his fate.
But at this moment, he saw the crowd at the end of the long street being sent flying into the sky by an unstoppable force. A bloody path had been forcefully carved out of the ambush.
As a result, the people surrounding Xu Ke subconsciously made way for the other party.
When Xu Ke saw who it was, he said calmly, "It's not worth it."
Ren Xiaosu rushed up to him in the midst of the 100 people and said with a grin, "Do you trust me?"
Xu Ke was stunned for a second before smiling. "I do."
