Chapter 162: The Ambush is in the Trap, Countermeasures Break the Plot

The smile on Lei Yi's face widened. After putting the treasure in his hand into the space ring, he walked towards the door of the auction house without looking back.

"Chase! Chase him! Kill him!" the auctioneer roared at the top of his lungs, his eyes full of viciousness.

The mysterious bidder didn't say anything, but from his gloomy expression, it could be seen that his hatred for Lei Yi was no less than that of the auctioneer.

"Boy, do you think you can really escape?" The auctioneer sneered, and disappeared in a flash.

At the same time, the Black Wolf killers who had been hiding in the dark also appeared one after another. They chased towards Lei Yi like arrows.

Lei Yi ran furiously, seemingly in a panic, but in reality, he had already clearly planned his escape route. He deliberately slowed down his pace to give the pursuers behind him the illusion that he had truly reached his limit and could be caught up at any moment.

"Lei Yi!" Dongfang Liuli was frightened when she saw Lei Yi being chased, and she anxiously wanted to go forward to help.

Lei Yi sensed Dongfang Liuli's intention and quickly sent a message: "Liuli, don't come over! This is my plan. Find a place to hide first and wait for my news!"

Dongfang Liuli was worried when she heard this, but she also knew that if she stayed, she would only become a burden to Lei Yi. So she suppressed her uneasiness and turned to run in another direction.

After Lei Yi led the pursuers into a remote alley, he suddenly stopped, turned around and faced those vicious men in black, with a cold arc on the corner of his mouth.

"Why don't you run away? Boy, do you want to surrender yourself or let us do it?" The leading man in black said with a grin, his eyes full of mockery.

"You trash, you think you can stop me?" Lei Yi snorted disdainfully, his tone full of contempt.

"Boy, you are looking for death!" The man in black was furious when he heard this, and swung the sharp blade in his hand and chopped it down at Lei Yi's head.

Lei Yi did not dodge or evade. A cold light flashed in his eyes. His right hand shot out like lightning, grabbed the wrist of the man in black, and twisted it hard.

"Crack!"

The sound of broken bones was heard, the man in black let out a scream, and the sharp blade in his hand fell to the ground.

"With this little ability, you dare to come out and embarrass yourself?" Lei Yi kicked the man in black away, glanced at the other men in black, and said coldly, "Come on together, I'm in a hurry."

The men in black looked at each other, fear in their eyes. Although they were all desperate criminals, they were not fools. The young man before them was so young, yet he possessed such terrifying strength. It was obviously not something they could deal with.

"Go! Everyone, come on! Kill him and split the reward equally!" Just as the men in black were hesitating, a cold voice suddenly came from the alley.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw the auctioneer and the mysterious bidder coming side by side, both with sinister and vicious looks on their faces.

"Boy, you can't escape!" the auctioneer said sinisterly, "Today, you will definitely die!"

Lei Yi's cold gaze swept over the crowd, a icy arc forming at the corner of his mouth. He slowly raised his right hand, his five fingers slowly closing in… The icy arc at the corner of Lei Yi's mouth widened, not because he underestimated the enemy, but because he was confident that victory was within his grasp. He slowly closed his five fingers, not preparing to attack, but making a secret gesture.

In a split second, the seemingly ordinary alley behind Lei Yi suddenly cracked into several cracks! Before the men in black could react, thick black smoke gushed out from the ground, instantly filling the entire alley!

"Cough cough cough..."

"What is this?!"

The men in black were caught off guard and were choked by the sudden black smoke, causing them to cough violently and their vision to become blurred. They waved their weapons in panic, trying to disperse the black smoke, but found that it was of no use.

"Oh no! There's an ambush!" The leading man in black realized something, his face suddenly changed, and he quickly shouted a warning.

However, it was too late.

Just as the men in black were panicking, countless sharp crossbow arrows suddenly shot out from the walls on both sides of the alley! The sound of crossbow arrows breaking through the air, like the notes of death urging death, echoed in the alley.

"what!"

"Help!"

Screams rang out one after another. Before the men in black could react, they were shot into hedgehogs by crossbows and fell in a pool of blood.

"Damn it! This kid was actually prepared!" The black-clad leader who escaped the disaster was shocked and angry when he saw the hellish scene in front of him.

The black smoke gradually dissipated, revealing the bodies of men in black scattered across the ground. Blood stained the bluestone pavement red, and the air was thick with the smell of blood. Lei Yi's expression was indifferent, as if none of this had anything to do with him. He slowly walked to the entrance of the alley, watching the two figures gradually approaching in the distance, and a cold smile curved his lips.

"It's finally here..." Lei Yi muttered to himself, a cold light flashing in his eyes, "The good show has just begun!"

When the auctioneer and the mysterious bidder saw the bodies of the men in black scattered all over the ground, their faces suddenly became extremely ugly.

"Damn it! We fell into a trap!" The auctioneer gritted his teeth and said with resentment in his eyes.

"Don't you think it's too late to find out now?"

Lei Yi's voice sounded behind them, with a hint of teasing in his tone...

The auctioneer and the mysterious bidder stared at the corpses of the men in black scattered across the floor, their faces gloomy as if water could drip from them. The heavy smell of blood in the air mocked their foolishness and arrogance.

"How dare you..." The auctioneer pointed at Lei Yi, shaking with anger, unable to form a complete sentence. He had never imagined that what he had initially thought was a trap would end up making him a pawn on someone else's chessboard.

"Why wouldn't I dare?" Lei Yi sneered and walked closer to them. "You set a trap and wanted to kill me, but you don't allow me to fight back?"

"Did you know our plan a long time ago?" the mysterious bidder asked gritting his teeth.

"From the first time you set your sights on me, you should have known this day would come." Lei Yi's eyes were sharp, his tone icy. "From the anomaly at the auction, to the men in black following you, to the ambush in this alley, your plan, which you thought was flawless, is nothing more than child's play in my eyes."

Lei Yi paused, then continued, "The reason I'm playing along with you is to catch all of you stinking bugs hiding in the dark!"

"Do you think you can defeat us?" The auctioneer suppressed the fear in his heart and said in a timid tone.

"Of course, it's not enough for me alone." Lei Yi raised his lips in a mocking arc, looking away, "But what if we add them?"

As Lei Yi finished speaking, dozens of figures suddenly appeared from the rooftops on both sides of the alley. They were dressed in uniform black, wielding various weapons. They stared coldly at the auctioneer and the mysterious bidder, emitting a chilling murderous aura.

"You...you actually colluded..." The auctioneer's face turned pale. He pointed at Lei Yi, his voice trembling and unable to speak.

"Collusion? No, I don't have that much face." Lei Yi shook his head and said lightly, "They are my friends."

"Friend? You..." The mysterious bidder wanted to say something but was interrupted by Lei Yi.

"Okay, enough nonsense." A cold light flashed in Lei Yi's eyes. "Now, it's time to settle the accounts between us!"

With that, Lei Yi cut short his words. In a flash, he sprang at the auctioneer like a ghost... Meanwhile, outside the alley, another storm was about to unfold... The auctioneer and the mysterious bidder had never dreamed that their carefully planned trap would ultimately become their own grave. Lei Yi's agility and brutality, like a tiger descending from a mountain, instantly brought both men to the ground. The black-clad assassins, seeing the situation looming, attempted to flee, but were surrounded by the black-clad figures who leaped from the rooftops, ultimately succumbing to their fate.

"Sir, what should we do with these people?" The leading man in black walked up to Lei Yi and asked respectfully. He was Lei Yi's confidant, named Ying Yi.

Lei Yi glanced at the auctioneer and the mysterious bidder, who were wailing on the ground, and said in a cold tone, "Hand them over to the City Lord's Mansion. Say they are suspected of murdering an imperial official, and let the City Lord handle it."

"Yes!" Ying Yi took the order and immediately arranged for people to escort the auctioneer and the mysterious bidder away.

"Let's go too." Lei Yi said to Dongfang Liuli.

Dongfang Liuli nodded, and the two walked out of the bloody alley side by side.

After returning to the inn, Dongfang Liuli asked with some concern, "Lei Yi, you've offended the forces behind the auction so badly this time. They're definitely not going to let this go."

Lei Yi smiled faintly and said, "I know, but since I dare to do it, I am not afraid of their revenge. I want to see what other tricks they have!"

Lei Yi knew that the auction incident was just a minor stumbling block on his path to success. His true enemies were far more powerful than these scoundrels hiding in the shadows.

As expected, Lei Yi's powerful counterattack quickly spread throughout the ancient city. Those forces that had been eyeing Lei Yi covetously, after witnessing his strength and methods, all restrained their efforts and dared not act rashly.

However, the calm was only temporary.

Deep within the ancient city, inside an ancient and stately mansion, a middle-aged man in ornate attire sat on a throne, listening to his subordinates' reports. His expression was gloomy, and a dangerous glint flickered in his eyes.

"This Lei Yi is so bold that he actually doesn't take our family seriously!" The middle-aged man slammed the table and said angrily.

"Master, please calm down. Do you want me to send someone to teach him a lesson?" the housekeeper standing by asked in a low voice.

The middle-aged man pondered for a moment, waved his hand, and said, "No need. We don't need to take action ourselves to deal with such a small fry. I have already sent someone to ask the leader of the Black Wind Village. As long as he agrees to take action, Lei Yi will be dead for sure!"

……

It was late at night, and Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli were resting in their room. Suddenly, a rapid knock on the door broke the silence of the night.

"Who?" Lei Yi asked vigilantly.

"Sir, someone outside the door brought a letter and said it was for you." The waiter's voice came from outside the door.

Lei Yi stood up, opened the door, and took the envelope handed to him by the waiter. There was no signature on the envelope, only a bright red seal with the ancient Chinese character "战" engraved on it.

Lei Yi frowned slightly, a bad feeling rising in his heart. He returned to his room, opened the envelope, and by the candlelight, lines of arrogant handwriting came into his sight:

"Lei Yi, you little thief, I am Gu Tianxiong, the head of the Gu family! You have repeatedly defied our family, your crimes are unforgivable! Three days from now, at 3:30 PM, outside the city at Sunset Slope, our Gu family will be waiting for you! If you don't come, you're a coward, and our Gu family will tear you into pieces!"

The letter fell to the ground, and Lei Yi's face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out...
