Chapter 77 Attacked
After completing the mission, Mo Yu returned to Yu Yao's side immediately.
Yu Yao patted it approvingly and said, "Great job!" Then she hugged its warm little body and slowly walked towards her residence.
The safe zone was exceptionally quiet at night; you wouldn't even encounter anyone else, let alone almost anyone else.
However, she noticed from the map that several large purple dots were hidden on the only way back to the villa area.
For a fleeting moment, Yu Yao even narcissistically wondered if the other party was targeting her.
She had planned to avoid trouble by taking a detour and climbing over the wall. Little did she know, the other party really was after her.
And they have no intention of letting her go!
The instant he was surrounded by six tall, level-two ability users.
Yu Yao was thinking: Are there really that many level-two ability users these days?
They didn't utter a single word.
Are they all so low-key? So unassuming?
Nevertheless, she calmly looked at one of the men, whose face was serious, who had already stood opposite her.
He said in a gentle but firm tone, "Miss Yu, my master would like to invite you to meet him."
Yu Yao silently took out her twin swords and gripped them tightly.
"Don't go."
Yu Yao's reaction was not beyond the man's expectations.
So when he heard the explicit rejection, he simply nodded calmly.
The next moment, Yu Yao's brows twitched.
A syringe filled with some unknown liquid, which was being shot at Yu Yao's neck, was controlled by her and flew from behind her to in front of her.
Yu Yao frowned.
"How despicable!"
When one plan failed, the man whispered, "Do it!"
Before she could finish speaking, several supernatural abilities struck Yu Yao from six different directions.
And it cleverly blocked all her possible escape routes.
Yu Yao's eyes flickered slightly as she put the syringe into her spatial storage.
She swung her sword to her left, severing the vines that were attacking her.
However, his body did not dodge to the left, where a trap had already been set up and was waiting for him.
Instead, he dodged backward, the air crackling around him as he deflected the golden blade from behind.
Before the metal-type ability user behind him could react, he swiftly turned around and swung his sword...
She should have been beheaded, but when she saw the man's normal, fleshy neck, she realized that he had never killed anyone before.
I still chopped it down.
But she was struck hard from behind by a water arrow, which pierced straight through her shoulder.
Her aim was thus distorted, and she ended up slashing the metal-type ability user's shoulder.
His entire arm was cleanly severed.
Amidst the other person's screams, she gritted her teeth and suppressed a soft moan that almost escaped her throat.
He turned around and used the Cloud Step to escape the encirclement.
Seeing the next wave of supernatural attacks that followed, Yu Yao no longer hesitated.
The moment the air ripped open, it instantly sucked away the air around the heads of the six opponents.
And at the instant the opponent suffocates and cuts off their ability output, they throw out their twin swords.
He decapitated the two men closest to him.
The other party is indeed a level two ability user.
Before Yu Yao's twin swords could fly back, the leading man had already broken free from Lie Kong's control.
Lightning surged in his palm, and a bolt of lightning suddenly struck down towards Yu Yao.
Yu Yao controlled her twin swords back and was about to continue dodging when she felt a wall of flesh blocking her from behind.
The lightning bolt that struck down changed direction and became thicker and more terrifying.
They cleaved the leader, a lightning-type ability user, into ashes.
Yu Yao turned around in surprise.
"Boss?"
Chi Heng glanced down at her still bleeding shoulder, and for the first time, he showed disapproval on his face.
Why didn't you call for help?
"You're here? Where's the house? Who's looking after it?"
Everyone was absorbing crystal cores to break through, and only Chi Heng was keeping watch at night.
He's out, so who's keeping watch?
Chi Heng moved his hand slightly, restraining the other two who had just broken free from Yu Yao's control.
The men, their faces flushed and panting heavily, grabbed each other from a distance.
The tornado enveloping the golden knife roared out once more, instantly slicing the two into rag dolls.
Chi Heng casually tossed the two aside and said, "Ping Jing has broken through; he's on night watch."
Yu Yao was slightly taken aback, but her gaze turned to the one-armed metal-type ability user that Chi Heng had ignored.
Seeing him lying on the ground pretending to be dead, I instantly understood Chi Heng's intention.
Chi Heng deliberately spared his life.
Yu Yao withdrew her gaze and softly said "Oh".
Chi Heng frowned, looking at her shoulder. "Shall I take you back?"
Yu Yao waved her unaffected left hand, "No need, my leg is fine."
Chi Heng's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and he gave a soft "hmm".
"Then go back first."
......
When the two returned to the villa, the person Chi Heng had let go of had already quietly gotten up.
Finally, after many twists and turns, we arrived at a house.
Yu Yao clicked her tongue softly.
Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Luo Pingjing, who had come over after hearing the commotion.
"Why is it hurt so badly?"
To avoid worrying them, Yu Yao quickly used the dew to heal her wounds.
To avoid being nagged, I quickly changed the subject, saying, "That person went to the Liao family!"
Chi Heng looked at her feigned surprise and sighed helplessly.
"If this happens again in the future, notify us immediately. Don't overthink it, understand?"
Yu Yao's fingers trembled slightly, and she paused for a second before speaking.
“I understand. I wouldn’t risk my life if it were really dangerous. What just happened was an accident.”
What a surprise.
Even if Chi Heng doesn't go, she can handle it herself!
"Is this your first time killing someone?" Chi Heng asked softly.
"Ah."
After all, the living and the zombies are not the same.
So she's just a little unaccustomed to it.
A little bit.
Seeing her drooping eyelashes tremble slightly, Chi Heng gently placed his hand on her shoulder.
He gently comforted her, "I don't want to repeat the old adage that mercy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself. I just want you to remember that your safety is above all else in this world."
In this kind of world, all talk of benevolence, righteousness, morality, and compassion is meaningless in the face of one's own safety.
Anyone who can say they have a clear conscience is a good person!
Yu Yao could understand this principle perfectly well; she was just temporarily unaccustomed to it.
But that unease had already vanished the moment he was injured and when Chi Heng offered words of comfort.
She was far more cold-blooded than she had imagined.
She nodded and smiled, "I understand, thank you, boss."
She looked relaxed, which didn't seem like she was faking it.
Chi Heng was relieved and said, "Go wash up and rest. Ping Jing, continue your night watch. Leave the Liao family's affairs to me."
Yu Yao subconsciously asked, "Won't it be too dangerous? The Liao family has other people with superpowers!"
"Don't worry, I know it."
Although Yu Yao was somewhat uneasy, Luo Pingjing absolutely trusted Chi Heng.
He knew that Chi Heng didn't want Yu Yao to go, and he must have his reasons.
So she gently advised, "The boss wouldn't do anything he's not sure of, don't worry. Go get some sleep, you'll know everything by tomorrow morning."
Yu Yao was surprised that Luo Pingjing trusted Chi Heng so much, and raised an eyebrow in astonishment.
Seeing this, Chi Heng asked, "Or do you want to come along too?"
Yu Yao shook her head.
"Forget it, I believe the boss can handle it alone. Besides Liao Jing, Liao Lanjiang, and the one who just went back, there are two other superhumans on the other side. One is very strong, and the other is average."
"I understand. You can go and get some rest now."
"Ah."
Yu Yao is not the type to do everything herself.
If given the choice, who wouldn't want to lie down and relax?
Since Chi Heng said he would resolve it, she believed and respected his wishes, and was able to sleep peacefully.
why not?
......
After Yu Yao went upstairs, Chi Heng left and returned to the spot where they had fought.
After standing still, ignoring the missing "corpse," he slightly raised his hand.
As the ethereal light flickered in his palm, several gruesome corpses, each with its own unique plight, slowly dissipated like ashes.
The mess on the ground had vanished without a trace.
Even the ground, which had been damaged by various supernatural abilities, gradually began to recover.
In less than half a minute, everything that had just happened seemed to have turned into a dream, leaving no trace.
A few minutes later, Chi Heng was already standing in the villa where Liao Lanjiang and his daughter lived.
He walked through the living room as if no one else was there, through the thick door to the underground chamber, as if he were in an empty place...
......
Underground secret room.
Liao Lanjiang sat on the sofa in the corner with his head down, seemingly lost in thought.
Liao Jing bit her lip, half-embracing a child who was about half a year old, her expression complicated and flustered.
In the very center of the sofa, a thin man rested his chin on his hand, watching the "lucky one" who had escaped back from the ground.
His expression was sinister, and his whole body exuded a terrifying, chilling aura.
He was squinting and muttering to himself.
"She got away...and even stole a power suppressant. Tsk...this is troublesome..."
"A bunch of useless trash, what a waste of all those enhancement potions I gave you."
"Six people can't beat two people!"
"That girl is actually quite interesting...we should capture her and study her properly!"
Chi Heng hid on the stairs and listened quietly to him speak, word by word.
Upon hearing this, his face darkened instantly, and a murderous intent filled his eyes.
He slowly took long strides and stepped out of the darkness.
The people in the locked room were in various states of mind: some were horrified, some were afraid, some were confused, and some were incredulous.
"Mr. Chi?"
The speaker was Liao Jing.
At this moment, she looked at the tall and distinguished man not far away, her face filled with fear.
She knew that Chi Heng had come for revenge!
Chi Heng didn't even glance at her.
He simply stared intently at the thin man in the center of the sofa, whose face was filled with disbelief, and spoke in a chilling tone.
"Dr. Bai, it's been so long since we last met..."
......
