You're Strong But Now You're Mine-Chapter 46 1, 2, 3
Chapter 46: Chapter 46 1, 2, 3
Yin Yinyin explained, "There are only a handful of experts in the Biting Battle Technique in Xingke County, you can count them on one hand. If you encounter danger, you shouldn’t use the Biting Battle Technique. Even if you do, use this dagger for a lethal blow."
Le Yu took the dagger and couldn’t help but ask, "Kui Zhao is coming, will you join in?"
"If Kui Zhao appears, I will kill Dong Heng first, then Kui Zhao. As long as you successfully smash the streetlights, in a low-light environment, Kui Zhao might not be my match."
Yin Yinyin paused, "Of course, if I can’t kill Kui Zhao, I will immediately retreat. But no matter what, Dong Heng will die tonight."
Since Yin Yinyin said this, Le Yu had no other questions. The two of them hid in the bushes on either side of the small path, suppressing their presence.
A few minutes later, footsteps and voices were heard, and three figures walked from the main road to the small path:
"...Is there really only one shift left?"
"Yes, too many people want to flee to Yanjing, especially after the city lockdown order was issued. The Li family, Chen Family, Guan Mountain family, and a few guilds in the county have all approached me for inside information, asking me to persuade the governor—what can I do? The governor is determined to keep the county’s powerful clans under control, but he also wants to leave a way out. The only way out is this train, allowing each family to send some younger members without positions to Yanjing for refuge."
"Is it safe?"
"The governor should have negotiated with Lv Zhong, ensuring the train’s safety. I don’t need to tell you how valuable the seats are. Old Kui, since you’re coming to find me, I’ll definitely save you a seat, but for the next short term, this is the only train. If you miss it, that’s it."
"Then save me a seat. Sigh, my daughter is not ambitious, I can only trouble you."
"Dad..."
"Hahaha, see, Nianruo doesn’t agree. Nianruo is certainly better than my own brat, who’s about to be spoiled by his mother... Ah, Nianruo seems to be about the same age as my brat. How about we find some time to let them meet?"
"That’s fine, but I still hope she focuses on her combat technique studies, otherwise, my family’s fist technique will have no successor..."
Kui Zhao, Dong Heng, and the braid-haired girl... As they passed in front of him, Le Yu suddenly threw the stones in his hand in succession, smashing the streetlights along the path!
Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!
With four consecutive sounds of shattering, the entire path was suddenly plunged into darkness, so dark that you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face. The light at both ends of the path couldn’t penetrate this darkness. Even though Le Yu was prepared, the shift from a bright environment to a dark one still significantly reduced his vision, forcing him to rely on memory to complete the outlines of figures in the dark!
"Nianruo, stand still."
Without asking ’who’s there’ or ’what’s happening’, Kui Zhao calmly instructed the panic-stricken braid-haired girl to stay calm. He and Dong Heng stood back-to-back the moment the streetlights shattered, with their fists loosely clenched, ready for battle.
Le Yu took off running, his footsteps crunching on the grass catching the attention of Kui Zhao and Dong Heng. Meanwhile, in the darkness, a silent, rapid dark light explosion was already swiftly attacking Dong Heng’s vital points!
Hidden Sword Technique: Forsaking Light for Darkness!
The Hidden Sword Technique is not only the lone technique that can maintain combat strength unchanged in darkness, but also the only technique capable of completely concealing the brightness of a light explosion!
Silent, unnoticed, unlit, killing quietly for a swift death!
But just then—
Zzzzzz—
With a sudden, urgent burning sound, the fleeing Le Yu noticed a long shadow on the ground—it was his shadow!
He turned his head, seeing a blinding light rise into the sky with the urgent burning, during which the incandescent brightness illuminated the shadows along the path, destroying the conspiracy in the darkness!
It’s the Light Burst Bullet!
This is a standard-issue device from the Statistical Department, which, once ignited, burns brightly in place as it ascends, lasting for ten seconds or so. All operatives could apply for one, but hardly anyone does because most of the time there’s no use for it, unless on outdoor missions requiring night action.
Le Yu never expected that Kui Zhao would actually carry a Light Burst Bullet with him!
And Yin Yinyin—
"You little brat!" Dong Heng roared.
Yin Yinyin plunged a small knife into Dong Heng’s left chest, but Dong Heng grabbed Yin Yinyin’s arm tightly, preventing the knife tip from sinking another inch, a thin invisible armor even flickered on his surface.
Light Armor!
Dong Heng, taking advantage of the Light Burst Bullet’s moment, had equipped himself with Light Armor! Though its defense is visibly unsatisfactory, it indeed helped him offset part of Yin Yinyin’s Hidden Sword light explosion!
Yin Yinyin made a snap decision, left leg kicked high, kicking Dong Heng away as he retreated. However, in midair, a blood-colored claw mark swept across the sky, attacking Yin Yinyin’s retreat path——
Sima Clan’s Wolf Eagle Fist: Wolf Devour!
Kui Zhao made his move!
Yin Yinyin wielded the small knife, slashing through Kui Zhao’s blood mark light explosion, retreating swiftly into the bushes. Dong Heng roared, without any running start, suddenly soared into the air, like a meteorite cannonball, rushing towards Yin Yinyin!
Five Animal Combat Technique · Tiger Pounce!
Kui Zhao wasn’t the type to pull punches either. His hands slashed upward, creating ten streaks of blood light in a cunning arc towards Yin Yinyin!
Yin Yinyin, in danger!
But at that moment, Kui Zhao suddenly felt a heat on his nape, followed by the sound of rushing steps behind him. Without thinking, he swung his hands backward, sending the blood light whirling towards the assailant!
It’s Le Yu!
Everything happened in a split second. As soon as Le Yu saw the Light Burst Bullet, he knew the assassination plan had gone awry. Without thinking, he turned around to fight back!
He certainly didn’t plan to take on Kui Zhao, the elite boss, single-handedly. Seeing that Kui Zhao’s ire had shifted towards him, Le Yu hurriedly swung his blade using the Biting Battle Technique, slicing through the blood light and quickly retreating.
His aim was already achieved.
Kui Zhao’s eyes turned icy. Without turning his head, he shouted, "Old Dong, that’s the Sword Concealer!"
No response.
When Dong Heng voluntarily jumped into the grass, where the Light Burst Bullet couldn’t illuminate, his fate was sealed.
If Kui Zhao had been supporting from behind, there’s a chance they could’ve killed Yin Yinyin first; but with Kui Zhao’s hatred redirected by Le Yu, it was down to Dong Heng and Yin Yinyin to settle life and death in darkness—practically akin to charging into the enemy base to deliver one’s head.
However, Kui Zhao didn’t rely on Dong Heng at all. As soon as he shouted, he kicked forcefully, transforming into a swift shadow and catching up with Le Yu in a matter of seconds!
Sima Clan’s Wolf Eagle Fist · Fang Assault!
Whizz.
The last flare of the Light Burst Bullet burned out.
Kui Zhao gripped Le Yu’s throat tightly, holding him in a constant state of suffocation while dragging him towards the lit main road.
He knew all too well that fighting the Sword Concealer in the dark was the most foolish way to die. Once reaching a well-lit area, ten Sword Concealers wouldn’t be enough to challenge him.
Then, a soft voice emerged from the darkness:
"Deputy Director Kui, have you forgotten something?"
Kui Zhao’s pupils shrank suddenly.
He saw two shadows come out of the darkness; the Sword Concealer witch pressed a short blade against Kui Nianruo’s throat, leisurely watching him. Kui Nianruo blinked, looking at Kui Zhao, then at Le Yu, whose eyes had rolled back.
Kui Zhao’s long braid shook with rage. He exhaled deeply and asked, "Who are you people? Why do you want to assassinate Dong Heng?!"
"A stalling tactic..." Yin Yinyin didn’t answer Kui Zhao’s question. "It seems you’re not very concerned about your daughter’s life."
"Don’t forget." Kui Zhao applied slight force to his right hand, prompting Le Yu to foam at the mouth: "I also have a hostage."
"No." Yin Yinyin shook her head: "I don’t care about that person’s life; he’s not a hostage at all. Kill him if you wish." fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
Kui Zhao didn’t believe it. He slowly moved towards the main road and said, "Then let’s exchange hostages."
Yin Yinyin didn’t accept this proposal and calmly said, "I hate wasting time. You release that person, and I’ll spare your daughter’s life. I’ll only count to three."
Kui Zhao wondered if this Sword Concealer witch had her brain rotted by the light. He had already stepped into the streetlight’s edge of the main road, all his combat abilities were restored, and victory had slid towards his side.
Kui Zhao prepared to explode into action, gathering Light Armor around himself, coldly saying, "I’m giving you a chance to surrender now, otherwise..."
"One."
A cry of pain interrupted Kui Zhao’s spell casting and made him tighten his grip on Le Yu’s throat. Yin Yinyin had slashed a knife into Kui Nianruo’s thigh.
"You—" Kui Zhao trembled slightly, but before he could devise a plan, Yin Yinyin already uttered the second count:
"Two."
This time, Yin Yinyin plunged the knife into the abdomen. Kui Nianruo’s face turned pale from the pain, and even her cries sounded much smaller, hissing breath through clenched teeth.
Then Yin Yinyin aimed the tip of her blade at Kui Nianruo’s heart, "Three—"
Bang!
With a loud noise, Le Yu was slapped into the air by Kui Zhao, spinning three and a half rotations before landing with a resounding thud.
