"I love seeing the way you struggle now. I love it even more when I see you"re full of hate, but can"t get rid of me," Shen Meng taunted him. "I advise you to make up your mind fast. I have no time for you. You have three seconds to decide if you want your pride or your legs."
"Oh yes, Uncle Yuan, remember to take a video. I"ve thought of the topic: Humiliating the Li family"s descendant, how enjoyable," Shen Meng laughed heartily.
"Pui!" A spit came out on his face and the laughter stopped abruptly.
Li Xianyu laughed coldly. "If you"re that good, why aren"t you up there with the rest?"
If Great-Grandma was here, she would have been surprised. She had never seen Li Xianyu with such backbone. Although she said she appreciated his street-smartness, she was a little disappointed. After all, as Great-Grandma, she hoped that her descendants would be people with backbone.
Shen Meng"s face turned fierce in an instant.
The roar broke through the air, accompanied by the one-eyed old man"s shout, "Be careful!"
When Shen Meng heard the sound of, his developed sense of vigilance caused him to step back and look in the direction of the sound source. It was made by a surface of a brick sc.r.a.ping with the air.
Some people smashed bricks at speeds comparable to bullets. People who used such potent weapons either smashed the enemy or smashed themselves.
"Well?" Shen Meng"s face changed slightly.
He was shocked to find that he did not manage to dodge the bricks with his step back. The brick whirled elegantly towards his face. If the brick had landed on his face, he would instantly lose his fighting ability and be disfigured.
Bang!
The brick hit the target, but did not hit Shen Meng"s face. At the critical moment, the one-eyed old man intervened and stopped the sneak attack.
The fragments of the brick exploded. Li Xianyu was not so lucky though. His eyes were destroyed by the fragments directly. The scarlet blood flowed down his cheeks, as his handsome face was perforated thoroughly at the same time.
The girl in her nightdress jumped from the bottom to the roof, with a wallet in her mouth and a basket of bricks in her hands.
San Wu"s expression was as calm as ever, but she was extremely focused, like a lone wolf hunting for his prey alone in the dark. That was the expression of a killer. Every killer was a lone wolf. At this time, she showed her murderous nature. She did not consider whether Li Xianyu would be collateral damage. Everything in front of her would be destroyed at the moment she entered that state.
The one-eyed old man murmured, "Her weapon can"t be avoided at all. It"s impossible. Every exponent of Baoze has a terrifying reputation. Third Master, you take the descendant of the Li family and leave first. I"ll stall her."
Shen Meng broke out in cold sweat. He had self-proclaimed to be one of the top experts amongst the younger demon descendants. It was only a matter of time before he rivalled the older generation. With his talent and family background, if he was able to survive the years of hards.h.i.+p and death, he would be nailed-on to be a high-flyer.
However, the girl in front of him, who looked as old as him, had the power to kill him in seconds.
The one-eyed old man said patiently, "Don"t fight with such creatures. They were born to be used as weapons. Their sole purpose is to kill. The Ancient G.o.ds Clan, a clan that has experienced greatness for thousands of years, was only ten ranks of Cla.s.s A at its peak."
Shen Meng nodded, grabbed Li Xianyu, who was pa.s.sed out at that time, and flew in another direction.
Once again, the sound echoed out again. The one-eyed old man blocked the bricks for Shen Meng, but this time, he was prepared. He was shrouded in a spherical hood, while the bricks were smashed upon hitting the hood.
If it was just a normal body, one blow would be the limit that one could resist.
"The power of precision is really remarkable. You can"t avoid it, but everything in the world has a natural counter, and my mixed element power just restrains you," the one-eyed old man said.
Knowing thyself and thy enemy was the key to ensure victory. Although this operation was not a perfect plan, it had been thought through carefully at the least. His powers, combined with mixed element powers, were human tanks and were meant to counter special a.s.sa.s.sins.
San Wu did not speak any nonsense at all as she continued to throw her bricks. She threw out one basket of bricks at a rapid speed, then took the rest of the bricks with her as she avoided the one-eyed old man"s blows, while throwing bricks back.
In fact, her ability to fight in close combat was better than her special ability. She just happened to meet her opponent who countered her. If she could not break through the hood caused by the mixed element powers, she would put herself in danger.
The dull, dense, firecracker-like noise exploded from the rooftop. The brick fragments continued to scatter around.
Shen Meng ran with Li Xianyu to the edge of the rooftop. Suddenly, the aggrieved spirit called out from within the vessel. He then stopped subconsciously. Great-Grandma, who had plunged her fingers into the wall, jumped onto the deck but failed to make a sneak attack.
Great-Grandma was wearing pajamas. She was charming and lovely, but her plain white face showed off a cold expression. Her eyes swept across the miserable Li Xianyu, as the murderous intent shone through her eyes.
"How are you, Li Xianyu?" Great-Grandma shouted.
Li Xianyu had fainted and could not answer.
"Don"t worry, he"s not dead." Shen Meng looked at her, shocked. "The elders of the family often said that the war spirit in the Li family was beautiful and brilliant, and indeed, it"s true. As long as you cooperate with us, I will not kill him."
Great-Grandma heaved a small sigh of relief. As long as her great-grandson did not die, it would not be a big problem. If he was to live on without eyes, there would be no harm being his eyes in the future.
"Which family are you from?" Great-Grandma asked.
"Heh. Shen family from Chongqing. If you want him back, find me there." Shen Meng narrowed his eyes and looked at the woman who was blocking his way. He grinned and said, "I would not dare to bring you along. Scram."
At the same time, he brandished the Spirit Alchemy Vessel. Green smoke started to curl out; the aggrieved spirits threw themselves at Great-Grandma.
There was no time to engage the war spirit. After the establishment of Baoze Group, a list of demon descendants was drawn up through big data a.n.a.lysis and screening. A total of 100 demon descendants made the list, which recognized the top 100 demon descendants in the world. After all, the reality was not a novel where there were so many chaotic cla.s.sifications. Hence, the list of demon descendants was drafted according to how good their combat effectiveness was. The outside world had a lot of criticism about the rankings, but it was generally recognized.
Uncle Yuan ranked 69th on the list, but it was still not enough to compete with the top Baoze employees. They were not included in the list, but were easily good enough to be recognized as one of the top 30.
Now, he had the ability to hold her back, but not for long.
Hundreds of ghosts pounced towards Great-Grandma, but she remained unflinched. She faced Li Xianyu and mimicked a sucking motion. Li Xianyu, who was in a coma, spasmed as his legs jerked upwards, facing the air.
After sucking enough essence, Great-Grandma"s little face turned red and glowed. Her clear and bright eyes were replaced by a scarlet glow in the night. The aura of Asura shrouded the roof.
After seeing the red eyes, the aggrieved spirits braked. The smoke seemed to hit an invisible wall, before retreating back towards the vessel.
"Useless bunch."
Regardless of Shen Meng"s efforts to summon the beings in the vessel, the group of spirits refused to come out as they shuddered in the vessel.
It was too late to teach these trash a lesson. The war spirit, a dozen metres away, suddenly disappeared. She reappeared close to him as she threw a punch at him.
Shen Meng resisted with one arm in a hurry. He heard his arm click as it broke instantly. He was sent flying back by the wave-like force.
It was not finished. Masters would never give the enemy a chance to breathe. Nor would they make unnecessary noises. Great-Grandma"s small fist hit him again, causing him to feel like he was on the verge of death.
It was not a small amount of essence. Great-Grandma had literally sucked all the essence out of her great-grandson to the point where Li Xianyu was on the verge of kidney failure.
At the cost of sucking her great-grandson"s essence dry, she managed to recuperate a small portion of her powers. However, this was not to last for long. She needed to conclude this battle fast. It was either she exhausted her powers, or that her grandson would die of kidney failure.
