Sudden changes and the "annihilation" of the team leaders instantly plunged the team led by Chen Xiaoxing into chaos.
Unfortunately, the forbidden air field does not require continuous operation, so it is still operating normally.
Ling Yao could clearly feel that the energy in his body was being drained due to the first aid given to Chen Xiaoxing, even though the energy was originally reserved for more important opponents - maybe people from the aristocratic family, or sent by Xin Ran and Li Jiaheng , those external cultivators who hide their strength, or gunners with a large number of enchanted bullets.
But now he has no time to think too much.
After all, human life is at stake now.
But this is not a long-term solution. It was impossible for the Secret Service's medical staff to arrive so quickly. He might need to stay in his current state for more than ten minutes.
During this period, the real enemy lurking behind may attack again at any time.
After a moment of daze, his eyes finally locked on the thing that cut Chen Xiaoxing's throat:
It is just a small butterfly-shaped magic weapon that is maintained by true energy. Its lethality is no different from an ordinary flying knife that locks on the target. Its speed is not very fast. To a cultivator, it is just a small toy - as long as By mobilizing your senses, you can easily dodge without using any Qi.
Therefore, Ling Yao noticed the attack of the enchanted bullet at the first time, but did not feel the threat of the butterfly blade.
But for Chen Xiaoxing, who has no strong person to protect him at all times in the chaos, and who is just an ordinary person, even physically weaker than ordinary people, the butterfly blade is a deadly weapon.
After the butterfly blade struck, there was not much energy left, and it stumbled away from the crowd.
Ling Yao's eyes followed the butterfly blade, and he saw that the butterfly blade finally slowly landed on a person's arm. The weak energy completely dissipated and turned into a bloody metal lump.
And the identity of that person, Ling Yao, was not surprised:
"Li Jiaheng. You are here."
Li Jiaheng looked at Ling Yao from a distance and walked slowly towards here. Although his face maintained an expected expression, there was a hint of weirdness on his face.
"To be honest, you are more pedantic than I thought.
"I originally thought that you could travel through eight worlds quickly. Even if you are a novice, you are at least a 'new sect' like me. I didn't expect that you are still an orthodox 'conservative sect'.
"It's time for you to look in the mirror and see what you look like now. XR0037, I am your compatriot.
"But now you are doing it for a native of a small world. Oh, this kid was your enemy just a second ago - just because I killed him, you actually look like you want to kill me! And you know it clearly You can't kill me!
"Obviously how calm you were when I plotted against you last time. It's so ridiculous, you old antiques are so ridiculous."
Looking at Li Jiaheng who was gradually approaching, Ling Yao closed his eyes suddenly.
At that moment, he did have the urge to rush forward and kill Li Jiaheng with a sword.
——Although Li Jiaheng once said that system holders cannot directly kill each other, he is not the real system holder after all, but Xin Ran's "replacement", and may not be subject to this restriction.
Maybe Xin Ran originally arranged for Li Jiaheng to be a roadblock in his way just to test this.
Compatriots? Of course, he is not a compatriot of the system holder, but a so-called "indigenous person from another small world".
His birth and even life opportunities may be very different from other natives, but just because he may have the authority to "explore destiny" and "travel through time and space", he will not really reach a certain level with these people who are aloof and regard human life as nothing. Spiritual connection and consensus.
If the system holders are people like Xin Ran and Li Jiaheng, they will only be eternal enemies, and there will be no need for even temporary cooperation - that would be a personal insult to Ling Yao.
But after Li Jiaheng mentioned the "New Sect" and the "Ancient Sect", two factions he had never heard of, he calmed down instantly.
Even if he kills Li Jiaheng now, nothing can be saved. On the contrary, his brief departure may further accelerate Chen Xiaoxing's death.
Moreover, no matter how vicious Li Jiaheng is, in fact he is just a pawn on the chessboard.
The real traders are still hidden behind the scenes.
Killing Li Jiaheng now would be momentarily satisfying, but it might completely cut off the clues to the truth.
What's more, it can be seen from Li Jiaheng's remarks that there may be people who hold different ideas among the system holders. The so-called "conservative faction" is probably the faction that opposes these "new factions" who care about human life.
His hatred for the system holder is not caused by jealousy, but a conflict of ideas and positions. If there are "teammates" within such a group that he can win over, of course he will try his best to win over them.
But this is all for later. How to break the situation now is a matter of life and death.
"I'm not a fool. How can I not see that you are racking your brains to kill me? You can't kill each other, but there are ways, right?"
He tried his best to appear angry with a hint of "expected", and looked vaguely in the direction where the sniper had just fired.
He doesn't yet know whether the sniper in the distance is Li Jiaheng's subordinate or an unstable collaborator. But obviously, if the other party really shoots, they will definitely not be bound by the so-called "not wanting to kill each other".
One more shot is needed.
Ling Yao thought.
He still needs another shot from the other party to determine the specific location of the other party.
"But is this really okay? If I remember correctly, last time you were still cooperating with the Liang family and the Ravens, but this time you killed the Chen family?
"Having multiple boats? I don't think you are that stupid. I'm afraid it's still the Chen family who is cooperating with you. It's just that you can't deal with the current head of the family.
"You already know my identity, but you still insist on framing today's incident on me. Aren't you afraid that the Secret Service will investigate to the end?
"Or do you just hope to be traced to the end? Oh, that's quite exciting."
Ling Yao seemed to want to say something, but was interrupted by Li Jiaheng:
“You don’t have to sow discord.
"Everyone is well aware of the relationship between the Secret Service and the Aristocratic Family. Even if you record the audio, even if your sword and your gun have no trace of being moved, so what? You guess the Chen family believes in you more Or do you trust me more?
"After all, you are... a child of a small family, so you don't understand the logic of actions of the aristocratic families. What's the use of pampering? Since everyone is dead, of course you must maximize the benefits. For the Chen family, internal strife is a serious problem Not a good choice.”
Li Jiaheng has come very close. He leaned down and took out a transparent bead from Chen Xiaoxing's jacket pocket as if he had known it earlier.
Click.
The crushed beads emitted a white light and flew away into the distance instantly.
Ling Yao guessed that this was some kind of magic weapon for locating and asking for help, but he didn't know if it had audio and video functions.
"Of course, Mr. Chen still loves this silly son very much. Therefore, he will definitely bite off a piece of meat from the Secret Service to soothe his pain of losing his son."
Li Jiaheng had an ordinary, but somehow extraordinarily creepy smile on his face.
Ling Yao has seen such a smile on many people's faces. This is the smile of those in power who think they can play with other people's names and control their lives and deaths.
That's right, just "thinking".
“But I won’t be captured without mercy, and the head of the Chen family is not a fool either.
"If I tell him that the enemy is within and someone wants to shake his position, he will never sit idly by and ignore it.
"I know. You want to lure Chen Xiaoyue and Lin Tianyu to kill me, shut me up, and simply clear yourself and your collaborators of suspicion...
"It's a pity that you rely so much on Lin Tianyu's every move, but there are still many things you don't know."
Ling Yao slowly opened his eyes and said,
"For example, how do you know that even if I really killed Chen Xiaoxing, would Lin Tianyu really attack me?"
Of course Lin Tianyu will take action. Based on Ling Yao's understanding of him, no matter how philistine Lin Tianyu is, no matter how selfish he is, he still adheres to the "principles of justice" on the surface at least and will never let go of an "obvious" murder. commit.
But as a believer in the law of the jungle, Li Jiaheng had to guess whether Lin Tianyu and Ling Yao really had some kind of cooperative relationship that was based on interests and disregarded legal ethics - because in his opinion, this was normal.
But Li Jiaheng's hesitation at this moment became the trigger that attracted the sniper from afar:
If the parties themselves are not sure, how can they convince their collaborators who are dancing on the edge of a knife?
Ling Yao knows too well the choices of human nature. If there is a slight possibility in the future that he does not die tonight, then the false accusations and the Chen family's random attempts to bite him just mentioned by Li Jiaheng will not be established at all.
So many subordinates of the Chen family saw that he not only did not take action, but was even saving people now, it was impossible for the head of the Chen family not to be suspicious.
Unless everyone present today dies, especially him, the scapegoat, the story can be made up randomly by living people like them.
In this case, the sniper could not let go of this opportunity to kill Ling Yao completely.
Bang!
Sure enough, he ignored Li Jiaheng's warning and fired again.
And this is the moment that Ling Yao has been waiting for!
The moment the bullets roared in, Ling Yao also started to move.
He rehearsed this action several times in his mind, and now he could easily complete it without thinking - take out the gun, open the safety catch, aim, and pull the trigger.
Bang!
Compared with the enchanted bullet that created ripples of energy in the air, the bullet that flew out of the gun barrel seemed to be just an ordinary bullet.
Its speed is mediocre, and the warhead does not seem to be fully lethal, nor does it have any trace of fluctuation. In the eyes of a cultivator, it looks like a slowly flying chicken.
But when the two bullets passed through the forbidden air realm, the situation turned around.
Although the sniper's enchanted bullets are still powerful, the escaping energy is visibly dissipated in the forbidden air field, and all the accompanying bonuses are also gradually disappearing - this is also the first bullet that can be The reason why Ling Yao knocked him away with a sword attached to his true energy.
But after Ling Yao's bullet left the range of the forbidden air realm, the small lines on the bullet shimmered.
Just for an instant, the thin zhenqi in the air seemed to be inspired, and instead began to converge towards the center of the bullet - a thin layer of zhenqi attached to the surface of the bullet, as if covered with a layer of hard armor, rushing straight into the bullet. To the sniper on the opposite side!
At the same time, Ling Yao also started to move.
Two spirit stones and a Qi Gathering Talisman fell out of his sleeves and landed on Chen Xiaoxing's head, which could temporarily provide energy for the formation patterns he drew on Chen Xiaoxing's body. And he instantly drew his sword and stood up, rushing towards the unprepared Li Jiaheng.
Li Jiaheng's face revealed a rare look of astonishment and absurdity.
He didn't expect Ling Yao to do this, let alone the meaning of Ling Yao doing this.
What's more, he didn't follow the path of practicing confrontation. Even if he realized something, he couldn't resist the sudden attack of Ling Yao, the peak of the sixth grade.
And at that moment, Ling Yao's sword was already pressing on Li Jiaheng's shoulder, sweeping it sideways.
The sharp sword light made Li Jiaheng subconsciously turn his head to hide, but the moment he shifted his center of gravity, he was kicked to the ground by Ling Yao.
Li Jiaheng felt his head was buzzing. Before he could get up, he only felt a pain in his chest.
Ling Yao had already stepped on his chest and thrust his sword horizontally.
laugh--
The blade of the sword was close to his neck, and it actually penetrated into the concrete floor. It was impartial and did not hurt him at all, but it made Li Jiaheng touch the cold metal of the blade.
It has to be said that Li Jiaheng was indeed frightened by Ling Yao's behavior. Because everything was so fluid and dangerous, it was as if the system's restrictions had failed on Ling Yao.
But he soon realized that the reason why the system did not stop Ling Yao actually meant that Ling Yao never wanted to cause any harm to him.
It calmed him, yet unsettled him.
He has experienced so many worlds, and although the probability of encountering peers is not high, they are all different.
Some of them are rigid conservatives who only want to support the protagonist and perform tasks. They never realize until their death that the people behind the plot are their own compatriots;
There are also some savvy old-school sects who are wary of the new sects, but their methods are weak. Most of the time they will just gnash their teeth and criticize such behavior, and try every means to prevent them, but they don’t know that there is no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days. In the end, He secretly plotted against him;
Some are freshmen who have just changed. Although they consciously resist the "rule-based" system tasks and try to get rid of the endless time travel and death, they fail to truly change their thoughts and master the correct methods. After joining forces with themselves, they will soon fall into decline. The knife that he borrows to kill people, the cannon fodder that helps others eliminate disasters;
There are also Smiling Tigers like him. They cooperate openly, but secretly plot against each other. They even use the protagonist and plot to try to kill each other in advance, just to deprive each other of the remaining system energy.
They are seeds wandering in a different world. They share a sense of closeness with the same origin, and because of the same origin, they compete head-on with each other for sunlight, nutrients and water.
They try their best to complete the "mission" by any means, so as to obtain the energy to continue traveling through time and space. And the process itself is a kind of leaving traces on the small world: whether it is sowing an idea, discovering a power, or even burying a road leading to hope or destruction.
But he tried to find someone similar to Ling Yao among the various system holders.
He couldn't find it.
Of course, Ling Yao's behavior is more inclined to those "conservatives" who think they can save the world and seem to be kind and righteous: he cannot accept the concept and behavior of achieving the mission goal in a bloody way, so he is full of hatred for himself; At the same time, he is full of meaningless sympathy and compassion for the natives of the small world, and even uses his precious strength to vainly save the lives of the ants.
But Li Jiaheng felt that something was different.
There must be something, a trait that neither the "conservative sect" nor the "new sect" had, which gave him that inexplicable sense of dissonance.
Ling Yao did not do anything to Li Jiaheng. After restricting the other party's behavior, he took out the butterfly blade from Li Jiaheng's pocket.
As a "little toy", the structure and usage of the butterfly blade are clear to Ling Yao.
He quickly injected his true energy into it, and controlled the butterfly blade to fly towards the device in the forbidden air realm.
The butterfly blade, which can move freely with only a simple charge, has become the most effective long-range attack method in the forbidden air environment. Just as Li Jiaheng easily used the butterfly blade to kill bodyguards from a distance before, Ling Yao also easily used it to kill bodyguards from a distance. It destroyed the forbidden air field, which was not very protective, from a long distance - to put it bluntly, without the runes, it was just an iron box.
Feeling the return of true energy in the air, Ling Yao slowly relaxed. He finally remembered the two bullets fired between him and the sniper.
The sniper's enchanted bullet almost turned into a normal bullet after entering the forbidden air realm, so it was easily dodged when he pounced on Li Jiaheng.
However, his improved enchanted bullet does not use infuriating energy in the barrel of the gun. Instead, it uses runes to automatically ignite infuriating energy during flight. Instead, it becomes stronger and stronger as it is rubbed. Therefore, nine times out of ten, the opponent is Can't escape.
As for whether the shot he blindly fired was aimed at the opponent's head or the hand of the gun, and whether it caused fatal damage, Ling Yao could not estimate it.
He could only turn on the radio silently and replied:
"Call the [main station], this is [J89 Lingyao]. One of the suspects who launched the attack has been controlled, and the identity of the target is confirmed to be [Li Jiaheng]. The other sniper lost the ability to move after being shot, and his identity has not been confirmed. Determine his vital signs. The target [Chen Xiaoxing] is still losing blood and is expected to survive for another 20 minutes. Please request medical personnel to arrive as soon as possible."
But in fact, Ling Yao's OS was not so calm and calm at the moment, but: he fired a shot in desperation, and the number of pages of the report he had to write doubled. Help...
"[Headquarters] received it. The medical team will arrive in 5 minutes. Immediately after the handover, continue the current mission. [B68 Guangyue] continues to synchronize the remaining target coordinates with [J89 Lingyao]."
"[B68 Guangyue] received. The target [Xin Ran] has not been found currently. The current coordinates of the target [Lin Tianyu] are 118, 37, east of the Hongshan intersection. Repeat, the current coordinates are 118, 37, east of the Hongshan intersection. The target is captured and separated. A clone is moving towards the current coordinates of [J89 Lingyao]."
"[J89], what exactly happened? Your coordinates were exposed."
This voice came from the main station channel, but it was not the voice of the main station announcer.
This is a private call made by Liu Ming himself to his device.
