The young man shone the flashlight on Li Xiang's face, but the blinding light made it difficult for him to see the other party's face clearly.
Li Xiang frowned and slightly pushed his right hand down and back. Fire Phoenix and the others slowed down when they saw his gesture.
"You're Li Xiang?" The young man stood a few meters away from him and suddenly asked. He did not seem to be wearing a shirt, and the lines of his muscles were particularly obvious.
"Yes, what's wrong?" Li Xiang's senses were very sharp. He could vaguely sense a murderous aura coming from the other party. At this point, he was almost certain that this deal had been set up.
The engine of the heavy truck did not stop roaring. There were many figures moving around the young man, but he could not see the number of people.
"Nothing. I'll send you on your way after I get to the bottom of this." The young man suddenly took a step forward, and then his figure jumped out like a ghost!
When he came in front of Li Xiang, Fire Phoenix and the others immediately moved. She waved her right hand, and Vulture immediately started the engine of the heavy truck.
At the same time, Ying Hai who had rushed in front of Li Xiang raised his right hand, and the sound of a steam-powered motorcycle shook the wasteland.
Countless steam-powered motorcycles came from all directions, and the people on the motorcycles were all wearing ghost masks. At first glance, there were more than a hundred of them, and they were all holding various cold weapons in their hands as they rushed toward the heavy truck.
"It's the ghost soldiers! You guys go first! " Fire Phoenix made a prompt decision. It was not that she had never encountered such a large group of ghost soldiers, but it was the first time she had encountered such a large group of ghost soldiers. Her first reaction was to protect the goods this time. It was something that Crimson Moon had spent a lot of effort to obtain.
The few people behind her immediately nodded, took the silver suitcase in her hand, and headed toward the back of the heavy truck.
Vulture, who was sitting in the driver's seat, was so scared that he broke out in cold sweat. These ghost soldiers were not the same as those hooligans. If a fight really broke out, they would all die here.
"Damn it, these bastards!" Vulture forcefully pressed down on his trembling hands. Following the earth-shattering explosion in front of him, he recovered from his daze. After confirming that the people behind him had boarded the car, he turned around and headed toward Ghost City without looking back!
At this time, he couldn't care less about Li Xiang and Flamephoenix. Moreover, the explosion just now had come from Li Xiang. He had already started fighting, so it was impossible for him to escape.
Ying Hai thought that he would be able to get close to Li Xiang. Li Xiang was holding a Scarlet Moon steam gun, which could not be recharged quickly after a close combat. But when Ying Hai got close to Li Xiang, he knew he was wrong. Very wrong.
Why didn't this guy need to charge the steam gun?!
Perhaps he did not aim properly, or perhaps he did it on purpose, but Li Xiang's shot missed. The bullet brushed past his hair and hit the ghost soldiers behind him.
The sound of a violent explosion reverberated, and the first horn of the battle sounded.
Bang!
Ying Hai was frightened by the shot. Suddenly, he felt a huge force pressing down on his head. Li Xiang was pressing down on his head with one hand. The force was so strong that it was impossible for him to resist.
"Ghost soldiers? I was just about to look for you. "His voice was so cold that it chilled people's hearts. It was as if there was no emotion in it.
Li Xiang squatted slightly, and Ying Hai's head was pressed to the ground. Then, he stepped on his chest. The crisp sound of bones breaking and ear-piercing screams intertwined. Li Xiang's figure shot out like a cheetah.
Ying Hai lay on the ground. His face and chest were covered in blood. His consciousness was blurred, and he fainted after hearing the screams of the ghost soldiers around him.
Fire Phoenix, who was shooting and retreating at the back, was shocked to see Li Xiang rush into dozens of ghost soldiers alone. He was like a killing god shuttling among them. Those ghost soldiers riding on steam motorcycles were punched or kicked down before they could even wave their weapons. Then, they were killed without hesitation.
Li Xiang's cold fighting style made her tremble. It was completely different from her usual style of fighting. He fought with one hand and used the steam gun with one hand. Moreover, he did not need to charge it. He was simply a terrifying killing god.
The most terrifying thing was that his movements were very ghostly. The steam motorcycles, which were supposed to be their advantage, were now restricted by this group of ghost soldiers. They could not keep up with Li Xiang's movements at all.
What was originally planned to be a double-cross had now become Li Xiang's one-man massacre. His four limbs' magic circuits were close to the level of complete materialization. These days, he had almost completed twelve standard tubes without telling Yu Yi and Ming Xu. His cultivation speed had more than doubled.
After Scarlet's magic circuits materialized on his arms and legs, the increased strength and speed made him very close to the standard of a Level-2 Magician's Apprentice. These ghost soldiers were at most some mercenaries who were good at fighting. In front of a strong person like him, they were no different from ants.
This attack was led by Ghost Mackerel. The operation was commanded by Ying Hai. About a hundred ghost soldiers were mobilized. In their opinion, it was just a group of a dozen people, and it was a sure thing. However, they would never have thought that Li Xiang might be stronger than Ming Xu. If he was not there, perhaps the Scarlet Moon would have suffered a great loss.
However, in reality, Ghost Mackerel's purpose was to take revenge on Li Xiang and the others. He had almost been killed by Ming Xu in the ring. He had never suffered such humiliation before. Moreover, after Gui Wuqi's return a few days ago, he had a strong backing.
Li Xiang walked among a group of ghost soldiers and could roughly guess the reason. He had promised Yu Yi that he would not take the initiative to cause trouble for Ghost Mackerel, but that did not mean that he would let go of someone who came knocking on his door.
After the battle entered the middle stage, Fire Phoenix also stopped thinking about retreating. She began to help Li Xiang clear the ghost soldiers outside the encirclement. Her marksmanship was very accurate, but the steam gun she used was the same as Li Xiang's. It needed about a second to charge, and its lethality was not great. After firing a dozen shots, her hands were numb from the recoil.
On the other hand, Li Xiang, who was holding the gun with one hand, made her feel more and more afraid of this young man.
"Sister Fire Phoenix, let a few of them go." Li Xiang walked over, covered in blood. He waved his hand and let the ghost soldiers escape. In less than fifteen minutes, the wasteland was covered with corpses.
He did not find the so-called Big Eye and the others. Based on Ghost Mackerel's style, this group of people had probably been killed.
Fire Phoenix nodded and put away her steam gun. She kicked Ying Hai on the ground. "What about him? He seems to be the leader of this group. "
"Wake him up." Li Xiang squatted down. Fire Phoenix kicked Ying Hai's head a few times. When he opened his eyes in a daze, she immediately bent down and reached out to pull his hair.
"Cough … Don't kill me, I …"
"Ghost Mackerel sent you?" Li Xiang slightly avoided her gaze. From the angle he squatted down, he could see Fire Phoenix's snow-white cleavage through her black tights. She did not care much.
"It's, it's Ghost Mackerel …" Ying Hai's mind was still a little muddled. He did not know whether he should be ruthless or beg for mercy. But looking at Li Xiang's expression, he felt that he had seen it before. It was like the girl named Ming Xu.
Cold, ruthless.
"What about you, what's your name?" Li Xiang rubbed the steam gun in his hand, his voice getting colder.
"Ying Hai, I …" Ying Hai suddenly became a little irritable. A strong sense of uneasiness spread from his body. He violently twisted, trying to break free from Fire Phoenix's hand, but his head was hit hard again.
"Nothing, I'll send you on your way after I ask clearly." Li Xiang suddenly stood up. Fire Phoenix understood, and a cold light flashed through her eyes.
A moment later, a dull gunshot and the roar of the steam motorcycle broke the silence of the night.
The night wind whistled from both sides. Li Xiang held the handlebars and felt the bleak wind. This was his first time trying to drive a steam motorcycle. With the Machinery Proficiency ability, he could easily control these mechanical devices. Back then, he had learned how to drive the airship from Wang Zhongyue. He just did not know if he could directly drive the airship.
"Brother Li Xiang, your riding posture is very good." Fire Phoenix's hot body was close to him. She smiled and said, "Did you often ride the steam motorcycle to trick those little girls?"
"Uh. First time, first time … "Li Xiang smiled awkwardly.
A strange expression flashed across Fire Phoenix's face. She immediately pursed her lips and smiled. She said softly, "Then I'm sorry. This kind of first time should be reserved for the girl you like."
Although she said this, her arms hugged him even tighter.
"The girl I like …" Li Xiang smiled bitterly. At this moment, Fei Yujing was probably still in Keihoku University's military training. Imagining her living in a clean and tidy dormitory and living a completely different life from his, he felt a little envious.
"Sister Fire Phoenix, do you know anything about the university's military training?"
"Ah? Why are you suddenly asking this? " Fire Phoenix was stunned. The night wind blew her long black hair, revealing her right eye that was covered by her bangs, but it was empty. "I don't know. I'm afraid you'll laugh at me if I tell you. Before I followed Sister Yue, I was still worried about what to eat next. When I was young, I sneaked out of the orphanage and learned that I had no talent, so I began to waste my time. "
"Ah, sorry." Li Xiang quickly apologized. The orphanage and the orphanage were the same. They were both places for orphans. The only difference was that the orphanage took in the orphanage whose parents had passed away, while the orphanage's children were even worse. They didn't even know who their parents were.
"Haha, what's there to apologize for." Fire Phoenix gently knocked his head. After laughing for a while, she suddenly said seriously, "But you, this is not a place where you should stay for long. Don't forget about me when you leave."
Fire Phoenix's half-joking words sounded inexplicably sad in Li Xiang's ears.
Was this the difference in life? For her, she might live like this for the rest of her life in 0126 City. If she went to other places, there would be no place for her. If she stayed here for a long time, she might be suddenly killed like this group of ghost soldiers and disappear from this world.
Moreover, she didn't know that Sister Yue had already planned to leave, but she didn't want to take anyone with her.
After knowing all this, Li Xiang looked at Fire Phoenix's face in the rearview mirror and suddenly felt even more lonely.
"Well, I won't."
