171: Omega Team

Chapter 170 Omega Squad

Inside the highest building in Zhongyi Hall town.

In the resplendent hall, a luxurious crystal chandelier emitted a charming luster, and footsteps on the thick wool carpet made not a sound.

Hall Master Yang Shuai leaned back in a comfortable chair, his back to the curvaceous woman, eyes closed, lost in thought.

"Hall Master~ This Lu Fei really doesn't know what's good for him, despite you treating him with such sincerity and trying to keep him with the position of Vice Hall Master."

"Yet he... wants to snatch someone away!"

Hall Master Yang Shuai, his silver hair combed meticulously, said nothing.

After a long while, he finally spoke: "You may leave."

He had absolute certainty in taking down Tang Ruyi alone, but unfortunately, Lu Fei had gotten involved now.

His ten-tenths of certainty instantly dropped to seven, no, perhaps even six.

Even if he defeated these two, he would have to pay a heavy price. If the Yao father and son were to attack at this time...

He was just a little puzzled; how could Lu Fei be friends with the elites of the Ye family?

He was a genuine Contaminator; could there be some trickery involved?

Thinking of this, Hall Master Yang Shuai felt irritable.

A meticulously planned matter had encountered such a change, giving him a headache.

However, he was determined to obtain Tang Ruyi's Ancient Battle Skill!

A day and a night later, Xu Jingzhe and the other two returned to the town.

At the entrance of the town, Hall Master Yang Shuai stood with his hands behind his back, a smile on his face, looking very amiable.

Behind him stood two people.

Ye Xin and the curvaceous woman.

Xu Jingzhe didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point: "Hall Master Yang, I have returned to save Ye Xin."

"Hahaha..." Hall Master Yang Shuai laughed heartily, pointing at Xu Jingzhe, and said with full vigor: "I just like your straightforward personality; it suits my taste."

"Take the person and leave."

Xu Jingzhe was stunned. He had prepared for a great battle with Hall Master Yang Shuai, but Hall Master Yang Shuai had actually pulled such a move, which was truly unexpected.

"Hall Master Yang..."

Hall Master Yang Shuai waved his large hand, cutting off Xu Jingzhe.

The curvaceous woman with a fragrant scent giggled, pointed at Ye Xin, and said, "You can go now."

Ye Xin snorted coldly, spat, strode to Ye Ran's side, and gave Xu Jingzhe a deep look.

"Remember to come back; the position of Vice Hall Master will always be reserved for you," Hall Master Yang Shuai said very sincerely.

Xu Jingzhe cupped his hands, feeling a sense of goodwill toward Hall Master Yang Shuai.

After exchanging a few more polite words, Hall Master Yang Shuai turned back with the woman, and the four of Xu Jingzhe also departed.

Five minutes later, Hall Master Yang Shuai stopped and, watching the figures disappear into the horizon, asked: "Is the scent mark set?"

"Rest assured, Hall Master. For half a year, within a thousand miles, I will be able to find Tang Ruyi."

Hall Master Yang Shuai nodded with satisfaction, his small eyes gleaming with a lecherous light, and his large hand groped the curvaceous woman's buttocks, which were firm enough to hold a wine glass.

Knowing the direction of Tark City, Tang Ruyi accompanied Xu Jingzhe and the others.

Most importantly, she wanted to meet the Adam Five and the Eve Five Princesses to hone her sword skills.

Three days later, Ye Ran and Ye Xin stopped simultaneously in front of a rock, both feeling heavy-hearted.

"What's wrong?" Xu Jingzhe asked.

"Ye Zi... something happened to her." Ye Ran pointed to an inconspicuous leaf mark on the rock and said, "This is the unique contact method of the Ye family; different leaf shapes represent different meanings."

"This leaf shape is unique to Ye Zi."

Xu Jingzhe's expression changed suddenly, a heavy stone hanging in his heart, and he asked: "Can we find her through the marks?"

"Yes." Ye Ran crouched down and analyzed the meaning contained within the leaf based on the vein patterns.

The leaf mark on the rock would be incomprehensible to others, but core disciples of the Ye family would certainly understand it.

The number of leaf veins, fractures, lengths, thicknesses, and so on, all expressed different meanings.

"Fleeing in a panic to the southeast, carrying Dilisi of the Red Rose Squad."

After Ye Ran finished analyzing, Xu Jingzhe immediately set off, boundless anger burning in his heart.

Ye Xin walked slightly slower, worried about missing the marks left by Ye Zi.

Sure enough, half an hour later, another mark was discovered at the root of a large tree. The direction had changed; she was fleeing toward the east.

Following the marks left by Ye Zi, it took a full five days, and the place where the last mark disappeared was this Gobi desert before them, the carvings clearly made not long ago.

At a glance, apart from various large rocks, there was only endless waist-high weeds; nothing else could be seen.

Xu Jingzhe stood on a large rock, gazing into the distance, his heart sinking to the bottom.

A strong wind blew, and the grass moved with the wind, changing into different shapes.

Amidst the waist-high green grass, a bullet was spinning at high speed, moving extremely fast, heading straight for Xu Jingzhe's chest.

This was a modified bullet with astonishing lethality, capable of piercing even Level 2 alloys.

The moment he felt the danger, Xu Jingzhe had no time to think or dodge and directly activated his ability, Time Stop.

Ten centimeters long, three centimeters thick, with a red tip, the bullet stopped half a meter in front of Xu Jingzhe.

Xu Jingzhe drew his Black Gold Long Saber, split the bullet in two, and the killing intent deep in his eyes erupted.

The sneak attack having failed, the sniper hiding in the dark did not fire a second shot, but remained in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity.

On the grassland ahead, four figures slowly appeared, two men and two women.

Their body parts had undergone alloy modifications; they were the Omega Squad, from Eve City.

Xu Jingzhe didn't waste words; holding his Black Gold Long Saber at an angle, he charged toward them with monstrous killing intent.

The leader of the Omega Squad, Gardes, grinned hideously and ran toward Xu Jingzhe with large strides.

During the run, his mechanical legs underwent a change; on the outside of each mechanical leg, a blade made of black gold extended, the blades reaching a length of one meter.

Wherever he passed, the earth was sliced open with deep gashes, and green sap, soil, and gravel splattered, staining his body green.

The remaining three members of the Omega Squad stood with their arms crossed, looking as if they were watching a show.

As far as they were concerned, they had never seen anyone capable of resisting their leader Gardes' 'Invincible Whirlwind Kick' head-on. The rotation speed of the black gold blades could reach tens of thousands of revolutions per second, combined with the powerful kinetic energy assisted by his legs.

This pair of 'mechanical legs' could split mountains and cut through water; even the Adam Five would have to avoid their sharp edge!

Closer, closer.

A distance of several thousand meters was insignificant for ability users of their level; they arrived in just a few seconds.

Gardes executed a roundhouse kick, the sharp black gold blades slashing toward Xu Jingzhe's throat, intending to kill with a single blow.

Xu Jingzhe gripped his Black Gold Long Saber with both hands and slashed forward violently.

"Ding!"

The intense collision of black gold against black gold was like a grand fireworks display, with countless sparks bursting forth, enveloping the bodies of the two.

Under the immense force, Xu Jingzhe was kicked back by Gardes, smashing into a pile of large rocks.

Truly returning to where he came from.
