The Hidden Guards and Moon Guards had seen these mutants before, knowing they were masked "monsters," and with their numbers so vast, it was inevitable to feel anxious. Now, those who could still fight were less than half, with many heavily injured, and whether they could retreat safely was still an unknown.
Unexpectedly, Lii had hidden so many people, or perhaps Boss Xing was nearby too. It must be. There was no reason for him not to co with so many mutants.
"How about it, Mr. Ye? Now even if you want to leave, you can’t." Lii sneered.
"Wait a minute, earlier you said that if I stood in your way, I would only be hurting myself. What did you an by that?" Although it seed sowhat shaless, Ye Shikai had no choice but to stall Lii for a while. However, with so many mutants, why hadn’t she brought them earlier? Still, Lii being able to mobilize Boss Xing’s mutants indicated so sort of relationship between them, maybe a cooperative one or perhaps they were actually in cahoots together.
"Mr. Ye, there are so things that it’s not that I don’t want to say, but I can’t say. However, rest assured, I won’t hurt you, but as for them, that’s not possible." Lii pointed at the people around Ye Shikai, her face emotionless and her voice cold.
"What? Why go after them?" Ye Shikai beca even more curious after hearing this. Why did Lii say she wouldn’t harm him? The Hidden Guards and Moon Guards all turned their attention to Ye Shikai. In their eyes, he was the Netherworld King, their spiritual leader. But now it seed that this "spiritual leader" had so connection with the opponent. The key point was that Ye Shikai seed to be "in cahoots" with Lii, which was greatly beyond everyone’s expectations.
However, Lii also said that apart from Ye Shikai, none of the others could be spared. Upon hearing this, Ye Shikai could clearly feel the strange looks from the Hidden Guards and Moon Guards directed at him.
"That part, I can’t tell you." Lii waved her hand, signaling everyone to move in.
"What’s going on here?" Ji Qian whispered in his ear, looking puzzled. It seed she was just as in the dark.
"I’m not sure either." Ye Shikai looked innocent, thinking, could it be... he had been intimate with Lii?
Being with a woman was like having half of her, but Ye Shikai was a man of integrity; he would never indulge in such affairs.
"No matter what, let’s retreat first." Ye Shikai gestured, and the remaining mbers quickly helped up the injured, retreating backward.
"Everyone, fall back." Ye Shikai said softly while making a decision in his heart. Even if it ant a desperate struggle, he had to ensure the lives of his brothers—those brothers who had faced life and death with him. Moreover, he knew there was a misunderstanding, even if they didn’t say it. He had to clarify.
"Mr. Ye, you don’t quite understand your situation. This ti, you probably won’t have any reinforcents, right? But... if you are willing to surrender voluntarily, I can guarantee them a quick end." Lii said coldly. Xue Ming was already stepping forward, ready to act at any mont.
"Would you dare touch her? If Miss Ji of the Ji Family dies here, do you think you can contend with the Ji Family?" Ye Shikai pointed to Ji Qian, still hoping to intimidate Lii. With so many injured brothers behind him, Ye Shikai could choose to fight through, but the wounded were surely dood. Unfortunately, the Storage Ring couldn’t hold people; otherwise, he could take them all away imdiately.
"Ha ha, Mr. Ye, no need to scare anyone. I know who she is even better than you do. There’s no signal here, no way to send ssages. If Miss Ji dies near the Zheng Family’s tomb, even considering Miss Zheng Ruo’s mysterious assassination, the Zheng Family will surely think that Miss Ji is here to cause trouble. Likewise, the Ji Family will think Miss Ji’s death is the Zheng Family’s doing. At that ti, the two families are bound to have a war. How could anyone suspect us then?" Lii laughed and said, truly a two-birds-with-one-stone strategy. If Ji Qian died here, the Zheng Family and Ji Family would inevitably have a war, making it unavoidable. Moreover, all today’s attacks would be concluded by the Zheng Family as the work of the Ji Family, indirectly clearing Lii of suspicion.
Truly a two-birds-with-one-stone strategy.
No, absolutely cannot let Ji Qian et her demise here.
Ye Shikai would rather fight to the death to cover everyone’s retreat.
Don’t forget, he still had his most powerful move, Demon Addiction.
"Qian, you lead everyone first. I’ll cover the rear. It’s only a twenty-minute journey to the Zheng Family’s graveyard. Holding on for ten minutes is no problem." Ye Shikai said softly.
"Impossible." Ji Qian refused directly without a second thought.
"Don’t play around. This is a life-and-death mont, no room for hesitation." Ye Shikai urged.
"Do you think I’m ssing around?" Ji Qian suddenly turned her head, her eyes fixed on Ye Shikai, her face full of "stubbornness."
"Nonsense. Otherwise, what should I do? Let the brothers die here?" Ye Shikai said again.
"Last ti at the Holy Mountain, you said the sa, right?" Ji Qian suddenly said, catching Ye Shikai off guard. Indeed, back then, the four Main Gods were present, launching a siege on the exhausted group. It was Ye Shikai who stayed back to cover the withdrawal. It was also with the Demon Addiction and Netherworld Blade that he managed to kill three Main Gods in a row, narrowly escaping death.
"Didn’t I co back alive that ti?"
"Can you guarantee to co back every ti?"
"I... At least, I’m the most likely among us to survive, right?" Ye Shikai retorted, thinking if one must stay, only he had the chance of surviving.
"Rest assured, didn’t Lii just say she wouldn’t harm ?"
"I won’t believe it."
"You..."
"Soul Destroyer, Demoness, take everyone and prepare to break out. I’ll stay behind to cover you." Ye Shikai said, directly giving the two an order. If Ji Qian wouldn’t leave, then take her by force.
"Yes, Boss."
Ye Shikai circulated his inner strength, intending to use the Shadow Clone to create chaos, then slaughter with the Netherworld Blade. By then, the Demon Addiction would inevitably kick in.
Whoosh, whoosh.
"Who goes there?" Suddenly, Lii shouted, and a figure slowly flew in from the air, landing in the middle.
"Young man, don’t harbor such killing intent. I sensed it from ten miles away."
The newcor was the sa broom-wielding senior from before.
"Senior." Ye Shikai bowed respectfully. Unexpectedly, at this mont, he had arrived. Perhaps now, the situation could be turned around.
