At the critical moment, Shen Meng bit through the tip of his tongue, and the blood sprayed in the Spirit Alchemy Vessel. The vessel shook as the shrieks and roars of vengeful spirits reverberated, as if to cheer for themselves.
Green smoke rose from the vessel and enveloped Shen Meng within it, taking the punch for him. The green smoke was smashed by the punch, and the ghosts screamed and dissipated.
Shen Meng spurt out a mouthful of blood, experiencing a burning sensation in his five internal organs.
Murderous intent was written on Great-Grandma's face, as she stepped forward for the kill, her fist about to land.
"Again?!"
Shen Meng was terrified. "Come closer again, and I'll kill him."
Great-Grandma punched out. "The Li family would rather be shattered as jade than to remain complete as tiles."
Mad man!
Shen Meng had retreated to the edge of the roof, and he grit his teeth. He hung Li Xianyu outside the roof and snapped, "If you come closer, I'll throw him down."
Great-Grandma stopped indeed.
Shen Meng was relieved and smiled grimly, "It turned out to be a lie when you it would be better to be broken than to be complete."
Great-Grandma said solemnly, "Let him go and I'll let you go."
Shen Meng laughed and replied, "I don't want to go yet. He's the only one left in your Li family. I'd like to die together with him. Come on, hit me, kill me."
Veins were pulsing on Great-Grandma's forehead. "If you want to take him away, you have to think about whether the Shen family can deal with it. So many people are eyeing the Great Deities Palace. Why didn't they take action? Didn't your elders tell you why?"
Shen Meng retorted, "I don't want to listen, kill me."
"Come on, kill me. Kill me."
Bang!
A deafening gunshot reverberated through the night, accompanied by thunderous bursts of something exploding in the air.
Shen Meng's arm exploded. To be exact, his arm was blown off by a supersonic bullet before the sniper gun sounded.
A fog of blood sprayed. The broken arm and Li Xianyu fell together.
Shen Meng cradled his broken arm and howled, half of his body stained with blood.
On the roof, the air was quiet in an instant, and time seemed to be stagnant.
Li Xianyu's falling figure was reflected in Great-Grandma's bloody pupils, reflected in San Wu's wolf-like eyes, reflected in the right eye of the one-eyed old man.
One-eyed Old Man: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ
Great-Grandma: (▼へ▼メ)
San Wu: (￣O￣;)
The sudden change caused the three masters on the balcony to be caught off guard. Great-Grandma was the first to react and jumped out of the balcony.
San Wu and the one-eyed old man looked at the roof of the residential building next door at the same time. There were snipers hiding just dozens of meters away, not belonging to Baoze or the Shen family. Such a close distance, they were practically under their noses, and they did not notice.
The other party must have a special way to hide their aura, and from beginning to end, the sniper gun was not locked onto them, so regardless of who it was, they never felt a trace of murderous intent.
The sniper stood up slowly, with a sniper gun in her right hand and her left hand on her waist, muttering, "What the Chinese is asking for is really strange… Mission complete."
She took out a piece of black cloth and threw it into the sky, as if magic. The black cloth covered her tall, sexy figure, floated to the ground, and her whole body disappeared.
After a brief moment of panic and fear, the one-eyed old man with cold sweat on his forehead rushed to Shen Meng, who had passed out. He picked him up and left, while getting hit by two of San Wu's bricks. He clenched his teeth and disappeared into the night.
San Wu looked at the direction in which the master and servant disappeared, and looked at the direction in which the grandparent and grandchild disappeared. After hesitating, she also jumped out of the building.
Every time she fell more than ten meters, she dug her fingers into the wall, to reduce momentum and cushion her fall. After this repeated several times, she landed steadily.
There were also shops behind the apartment building. At 3 or 4 AM, they were closed.
In the middle of the silent road, Great-Grandma stood alone, and her hair billowed in the night breeze. Her back resembled a desperate beast, filled with sadness.
Two massive holes under her feet appeared when she landed on the ground.
The Unparalleled War Spirit's flesh body was invincible and was intact and undamaged after jumping down from the 20th floor.
But her great-grandson was just an ordinary person. Great-Grandma failed to save the Li family's only member. At this time, he was reduced to a gory mess on the ground, which needed to be censored.
...
In a suburban villa, the one-eyed old man returned with Shen Meng. He got the servants to leave them alone, and went straight into the bedroom.
He threw Shen Meng on the bed and coughed up a mouthful of blood. The last two bricks cracked his spine, and had it not been for the strength of a demon descendant's physical body, ordinary people would have been paralyzed.
Digging out the first aid box, he did simple bandaging and staunch the bleeding for Shen Meng. Demon descendants were physically strong, so a broken arm did not endanger his life. But Third Master's fragile heart would probably explode first when he woke up.
It was also pitiful, he said he wanted to tear the Li descendant apart, but he was rendered disabled first.
These were small things, and the real big thing was that the Li descendant was dead.
The one-eyed old man took out his phone and dialed a number that had no ID. "Master, something terrible happened."
From the other end of the phone came a steady, thick voice. "Calm yourself. The bigger the matter, the more calm you have to be."
The one-eyed old man calmed down, and his tone was much more relaxed. "Master, the mission failed. The Li descendant is dead. Third Master was seriously injured, and his arm was broken."
"What did you say?!" The steady voice suddenly turned sharp, "Shen Meng messed around, and you did too? I told both of you not to endanger the Li descendant's life before you left for the mission. What the hell did y'all do?!"
"At that time, there were third-party forces at the scene, and we were caught off guard." The one-eyed old man recounted the matter simply. "The other parties either have enmity with our Shen family or with the Li family. He murdered a person with a borrowed knife."
The master said, "If they have a grudge against the Li family, there is no need to kill this time."
After that, there was a long silence on the other end of the call.
The master did not speak, and the one eyed old man was afraid to speak. Vaguely, he heard a slight gasp, as well as hasty footsteps.
"Master?"
"Don't say anything. You take Shen Meng to Hangzhou right now. I'll arrange for Wan Liu to send you abroad."
"Master, can you handle it?" After asking, the one-eyed old man seemed to hear the footsteps over there, as if many people were running frequently.
"Handle my ass. I'm packing and running now," the angry voice scolded. "What's the bottom line of this operation? You tell me, you f****** tell me. The endings of the Li family have not been respectable, but for the Unparalleled War Spirit, as long as the bloodline continues, it's no big deal to wait for the next generation. Now the Li descendant is dead, and we are facing imminent disaster."
The one-eyed old man said, "Master, you don't have to be so afraid. If the sky falls, someone tall would carry it. There's Buddha Head and Taoist Taoist Reverend, and also Baoze. The Unparalleled War Spirit can't possibly wreak havoc and rain annihilation."
"You know goddamn nothing about it, and you would not dare say such a thing if you knew the true power of the Unparalleled War Spirit. Let's meet in Los Angeles and I'll get even with you two later."
"Take action, hurry up and go abroad in the night."
The steady and wise master who always had a plan, has exploded and cursed several times since now.
"Old ancestor, your great-grandson is in trouble. I said he was unreliable but you insisted on letting him go out and practice. You must handle it this time... What, are you going out to avoid the trouble too?"
"Forget about the side-lines of descendants, leave them to take the blame. Inform the direct line of descendants and let them meet at the main house by five o'clock. Hurry up…"
The one-eyed old man hung up the phone in silence, looking dazedly out of the window at the deep darkness. Shen Meng laid unconscious at his feet.
