Chapter 591: You Didn’t Die
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“You! You are…” Seeing the dark fire, both Long Yubai and Ye Hao couldn’s stay calm, subconsciously thinking of that woman. However, they then felt confused when they saw this woman’s strange face.
“Who the h.e.l.l are you? Do not think that holding a black fire can make you Netherworld Fire from Hades Base?” Long Yubai showed a cold look and said to Lin Qiao with a cold voice.
That black fire reminded both him and Ye Hao of that woman who had blown herself up. However, the woman sitting in front of them looked completely different from that woman. Therefore, Long Yubai quickly wiped that idea out of his mind. After all, he had watched that woman explode.
The woman in front of them almost made them think that that woman was still alive! But soon, they saw her face clearly and told themselves that it was impossible.
Lin Qiao ignored their words but stood up, walking to the balcony door with composure. Then, she leaned against the opened door and looked outside.
“Your place hasn’t changed much. What happened to all those supplies and weapons that you looted from Hades Base? Have you given them all to Hidden Cloud City Base and Sky Fire Base?” While speaking, she abruptly glanced back at Long Yubai and Ye Hao.
“You talk too much!” Long Yubai didn’t answer her question, but suddenly launched an attack. He gave a loud shout while wielding his arm toward the water from the kitchen and the bathroom. After that, he pointed a finger at Lin Qiao.
Following his move, the water immediately transformed into water arrows, darting at Lin Qiao.
Puff! Puff! Puff! The water arrows arrived swiftly. Within a blink, they flew to Lin Qiao and created countless little holes on the gla.s.s door and the surrounding walls.
However, Lin Qiao had disappeared.
“She’s gone!” Ye Hao knitted his eyebrows.
Right at that moment, he turned around with a drastic change of expression while shouting, “Watch out!”
He swiftly pushed Long Yubai backward, then moved to where the latter was and s.h.i.+elded him behind. But soon, he regretted it.
Puff… A wisp of dark flame landed on him and then exploded into a raging fire, as if someone had poured a bucket of gasoline on it.
“Er… Owoooooo….” Ye Hao burst in a shrill screech when the dark fire wrapped him up. He didn’t sound like a human being, but like a howling wolf.
“Ye Hao!” Long Yubai gave a start. He stopped attacking Lin Qiao, but swung his arms and sent the water toward Ye Hao.
Ye Hao gave a roar and then fell on the ground while struggling. As he rolled across the living room, the fire on him quickly ignited the furniture pieces in the living room and vanished them at extremely high efficiency.
In just a couple of minutes, the dark fire was burning all over the room.
“Erhhhhhh…” Ye Hao almost lost his mind because of the pain and rolled on the ground instinctively. Long Yubai poured the water on them, but failed to put out even a little bit of that fire.
“Eh? What’s happening?”
“What’s going on?”
“What’s wrong?”
Ye Hao’s screams woke up all the residents in this building. They turned on the lights and then walked to their balconies, looking around to search for the source of the screams.
“It sounds like Deputy Chief Ye!”
Soon, someone realized that the screams were from Ye Hao’s room. By then, Ye Hao’s voice was already growing weak.
“Yo-you…” At that point, Long Yubai was so shocked that he couldn’t even say a word. As Ye Hao stopped struggling, he gawked at Lin Qiao.
“That’s impossible! Impossible! Who are you! You’re not her… Ye Hao! Ye Hao!” Long Yubai stared at Lin Qiao while stuttering.
Lin Qiao waved a hand. Following her move, the fire which had Ye Hao wrapped up suddenly disappeared, leaving nothing but an energy nucleus lying on the ground. She crooked her fingers and sent out a wisp of dark mist, which wrapped up the nucleus and brought it into her hand.
“You… you!” After watching Ye Hao disappear right in front of him, Long Yubai couldn’t react for a while.
“What? Are you doubting this fire? Ah, I understand… I’ve changed my face after all! If I told you that I’ve had plastic surgeries, would you believe me? Hehe… Do you think I’d die so easily? You’re too naive, Long Yubai!” Lin Qiao said to him blandly.
Her words woke Long Yubai up. He popped his eyes in shock and disbelief as he looked at Lin Qiao, “It’s really you! You’re still alive!”
“Before I blew myself up, didn’t I tell you that I won’t die so easily?” Lin Qiao looked at him in the eyes with a faint smile.
“That’s impossible! No one can survive a detonation like that! That’s impossible… Impossible!” Long Yubai refused to believe her words, but deep down, he had already bought it. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so panicked that he even forgot to defend himself.
At last, he slightly lowered his head. Even his eyes were unfocused.
At that point, Lin Qiao flashed across the air and disappeared.
“You lied! You’re not her… Ah!” Long Yubai suddenly raised his head to yell at Lin Qiao. However, he found that she wasn’t there anymore. In the next moment, he sensed a piercing pain from his chest and coughed out a mouthful of blood. Then, he was disabled from breathing.”
“Eh… eh-hem…” He widened his eyes and gazed at the hand which came out of his chest, covered in blood. Before he could realize what had just happened, his body reacted first.
Puff! Lin Qiao pulled out her hand, holding a torn heart. She watched Long Yubai slowly collapse to the floor and sensed the aroma of blood which had suffused the room.
Knock, knock!
Door knocks could be heard at that time. “Deputy Chief Ye, can we come in?”
Long Yubai never allowed his subordinates to follow him into Ye Hao’s place. Ye Hao was his best bodyguard, so he didn’t need anyone else’s protection in here.
The conversation and the killing between Lin Qiao, Long Yubai, and Ye Hao happened within only a couple of minutes. The guards by the door had left for a short while, so they didn’t hear the noise from the flat in time.
When they came back and heard the noises, they didn’t dare to go straight into the flat, as their leaders hadn’t given them the order. But, when they heard Ye Hao’s screams, they couldn’t remain calm anymore.
Lin Qiao threw the heart to the floor, then bent over and grabbed Long Yubai’s dead body with her blood-covered hand, disappearing from where she was. Those guards spent a short while banging the door. But, as their leaders gave no response, they broke the door and forced in. On entering the living room, they were all stunned.
There were no dead bodies, but half of the furniture pieces were missing, and the entire living room was a mess.
