206: Chapter 206 Han Xue is on the verge of death
Master Onizuka's blade tip rested right in front of Captain Han Xue's face.
The roar of a transport plane pressed down from the night sky.
In the snow, seven of the surrendered soldiers in the South Suburbs were dead.
Others lay trembling behind the rubble, their gun barrels shaking, but no one dared to fire a second shot.
Captain Han Xue stood before the abandoned conveyor belt, with only a dagger left in her hand.
She could hear her own breathing.
It was heavy.
And useless.
Captain Han Xue raised her dagger.
The next second.
Master Onizuka's figure vanished.
She only saw a black line.
It was too fast.
So fast that even her attempt to block seemed like a joke.
The blade slashed toward her neck.
Only one thought remained in Captain Han Xue's mind.
"In my next life, I'll be an Awakened One."
Clang!
A crisp sound rang out.
Sparks exploded before her eyes.
A straight blade glowing with red light steadily caught Master Onizuka's katana.
Red hair whipped up in the snowy night.
Qin Yumo landed in front of Captain Han Xue, her body low, like a beast that had just awakened.
Master Onizuka narrowed his eyes.
He stared at Qin Yumo's dual blades, then looked at the surging blood energy on her body.
"The official authorities hide things well."
"To think there's prey like you."
Qin Yumo frowned.
"You don't recognize me?"
Master Onizuka sneered and formed hand seals.
"Should I?"
"Fire Style."
"Dragon Fire Jutsu!"
Boom!
The black talismans beneath the mine pit lit up simultaneously.
Flames shot out from the cracks in the rubble, coiling into a giant dragon that lunged along the conveyor belt toward Qin Yumo.
The heat wave forced Captain Han Xue to retreat.
Instinctively, she shouted: "Dodge!"
But Qin Yumo smiled.
It was a faint smile.
A crazy one.
She stepped forward.
She charged directly into the belly of the fire dragon.
Her dual blades crossed.
Slash.
Slash again.
The flames were forcibly cut apart.
Red light flashed chaotically inside the dragon's belly.
In less than three seconds, the fire dragon split into shattered flames.
Qin Yumo rushed out of the firelight, her hem scorched, and was already in front of Master Onizuka.
She slashed down.
Master Onizuka blocked horizontally with his sword.
Crack!
His blade bent.
Master Onizuka's expression changed.
Qin Yumo drove her knee into his chest.
Bang!
Master Onizuka flew backward, smashing through half a stone wall.
As soon as he landed, he pressed his hands to the ground.
"Earth Style Wall!"
A stone wall rose up.
Qin Yumo sliced it open with one strike.
Master Onizuka groaned and rolled back into the mist.
"Illusion: Black Crow Kill!"
The surroundings suddenly went quiet.
Captain Han Xue's vision blurred, as if she saw countless black crows rising from the snow.
The next moment.
Qin Yumo raised her hand and slashed her own shoulder.
Blood flowed out.
Her smile deepened.
"Pain is more real than this crappy illusion of yours."
She vanished from where she stood.
A series of thuds echoed from the mist.
Bang.
Bang.
Bang.
Master Onizuka was beaten out of the mist by her, his body rolling over a dozen meters across the ground.
Every time he tried to form a hand seal, Qin Yumo broke a finger.
Every time he tried to retreat, Qin Yumo shattered a bone.
She was in no rush to kill.
She was testing the force-generation techniques that Grandmaster Ling Suzhen had taught her on Master Onizuka.
She hadn't had a sparring partner for a long time since that person from the cruise ship died.
Twist the waist.
Drop the shoulder.
Inch-power into the bone.
Master Onizuka became a living target.
A Jonin.
Treated as a teaching tool.
The remaining three ninjas saw the situation was dire and charged at Captain Han Xue simultaneously.
In the darkness, there was a soft sound of water.
Swish.
Swish.
Swish.
Three lines of water pierced through the snowy curtain.
Holes opened in the throats of all three ninjas simultaneously; their feet were still running forward, but their heads hung limp.
Lin Yuan walked out from the shadows of the quarry.
Black clothes.
Cold eyes.
It was as if those three lives just now were merely dust he had wiped away in passing.
Captain Han Xue watched him, her throat tightening.
So he had been here the whole time.
Master Onizuka was finally afraid.
His eyes were bloodshot, his figure retreated rapidly, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Divine Blood Escape Technique!"
The excitement in Qin Yumo's eyes faded.
This guy was too weak.
She pressed forward, crushed Master Onizuka's knee with one step, and brought her blade down.
Pfft!
All four limbs were severed.
Just as Master Onizuka's scream escaped, Qin Yumo pinched his chin and pressed her thumb against it.
Click.
A hidden poison tooth fell into the snow.
"Master said."
"Ninjas' mouths are never clean."
Master Onizuka lay on the ground, only capable of gasping for air.
At this moment.
The roar in the sky intensified.
A transport plane from the capital swept over the quarry.
Three black airdrop crates detached from the plane's belly, descending with parachutes toward the center of the mine pit.
Captain Han Xue looked up instinctively.
awakening serum.
A ticket to becoming stronger.
The airdrop crates landed.
Bang.
Bang.
Bang.
Lin Yuan raised his hand.
The three crates vanished simultaneously.
It was as clean as if they had never appeared.
Lin Yuan walked up to Master Onizuka and squatted down.
Master Onizuka stared at him, his mouth mumbling unintelligibly, his eyes still harboring resentment.
Lin Yuan spoke.
"Did no one tell you that I was the one who killed your Seventh Elder?"
Master Onizuka's pupils constricted violently.
A wheezing sound came from his throat.
Impossible.
When the news of the Seventh Seat's death was sent back, the Guild only concluded that it was a heavy firepower encirclement by the Jiangcheng official authorities.
Master Onizuka began to tremble.
From his reaction, Lin Yuan could tell that the information blockade at the time must have been very thorough.
These people from Shanghai knew nothing about Jiangcheng.
That made things a bit more interesting.
Lin Yuan stood up and looked at Captain Han Xue.
"Can you still drive?"
Captain Han Xue stood straight.
"Yes."
Her voice was a bit hoarse.
Lin Yuan glanced at the corpses on the ground.
"Take the living back."
"For the dead, record their merits and send them to their families."
"If they have no family, give it to their neighbors."
Captain Han Xue gripped her dagger tight.
"Yes."
Half an hour later.
The george patton drove toward Cloud Top Palace.
The atmosphere inside the car was very strange.
Qin Yumo sat in the passenger seat, the lingering intent for battle still on her face.
Lin Yuan suddenly reached out and gave her leg a firm pat.
"Wasn't it your turn?"
"Why did you give the chance to a rabbit?"
Qin Yumo's ears turned red.
She didn't argue, just gave a silly smile.
Captain Han Xue's throat moved.
Her eyes darted to the rearview mirror.
She knew she shouldn't speak.
But the feeling of that blade slashing toward her neck tonight was still clinging to her skin.
She didn't want a second time.
"Mr... Mr. Lin."
Lin Yuan raised his eyes.
Captain Han Xue's voice trembled.
"Can I have one?"
The car was quiet.
Qin Yumo stopped smiling.
Lin Yuan didn't scold her.
He didn't refuse.
He simply looked away.
Captain Han Xue lowered her head.
She suddenly felt ridiculous.
She had entered the master bedroom wearing a rabbit tail, but it hadn't earned her power.
She had desperately commanded an ambush, yet she was still forced to wait for death by a Jonin.
Now, she was acting like a beggar again.
The george patton returned to Tiangong No. 1.
The lobby was brightly lit.
Su Xiaonuan, Su Muxue, Tang Qiqi, and Wang Ya were all there.
Lin Yuan was just about to go upstairs.
Captain Han Xue rushed in front of him again.
She did not look up.
"I beg you to grant me an awakening serum."
"I am willing to do anything."
"I don't want to be a piece of trash who can only stand on the sidelines and watch anymore."
The lobby was so quiet that the sound of instruments running could be heard.
Su Xiaonuan watched Captain Han Xue without speaking.
She understood this feeling.
Lin Yuan stopped.
He took out a blue serum from his space.
Inside the glass tube, the liquid shimmered with a cold light.
"Do you know what this is?"
Captain Han Xue's eyes lit up, but she didn't know what Lin Yuan was trying to express.
Lin Yuan held the serum up to the light.
"A defective product."
"Injecting it carries a thirty percent chance of exploding on the spot."
"If you're lucky enough to succeed, it's just that kind of incomplete Superpower like Director Li Wenhui's."
"No physical enhancement."
"No mental boost."
"And every time you use your ability, you have to eat a crystal core."
He put the serum back into his space.
Captain Han Xue's body trembled.
Lin Yuan looked down at her from above.
"You want to become stronger."
"Fine."
"But think clearly first."
"Do you want power, or just a ticket to comfort yourself?"
