Chapter 457 - Revenge
"Oh. You're awake." Rei spoke when she saw Qi Ying's eyelids moved, indicating he has woken up.
Qi Ying slowly opened his eyes before he looked around. "Where is everybody?" he asked when he didn't see them.
"We've met a group of thieves who are also ability users." Rei answered. "They saw our car coming and pushed someone on the road for us to hit them. Fortunately, Yi Bing has good reflexes and stopped the car before we hit the person." She explained and looked outside. "Boss seems to know one of them, and he decided to teach them a lesson." She told him when she saw the two groups outside are about to start fighting.
Qi Ying blinked and turned to see Xi Kai, Yi Bing, Huo Ling, Jenny, Lan and Chichi. They are facing against eight men. Not only were they outnumbered, but it looked like they are also in a disadvantageous position as half of them are women who are physically weaker than men. If women wanted to fight against men, then it will depend on how strong their ability is.
"I'll go and help them." He spoke as he raised his upper body, only to be pushed back down by Rei.
"You, help them?" Rei tilted her head as she looked at him. "It is already good if boss won't mistake you as his enemy. If you really will go there, boss might not recognize you as his ally…" she smiled meaningfully at Qi Ying.
Qi Ying grimaced. He knows how vengeful Xi Kai is. In fact, Qi Ying feels that he is already fortunate that Xi Kai didn't beat him up inside the bus when their two groups met and Jenny started the conversation to clear up the misunderstanding, much to Xi Kai's chagrin because his pride wouldn't let him swallow the grievance.
It must be because Xi Kai wants to give Qi Ming face, as well as Yi Bing and Huo Ling who are Xi Kai recruited for his team and they already spoke that they will protect him, that is why Xi Kai hasn't lifted a hand or swung his fist at Qi Ying's face yet. This makes Qi Ying inwardly sigh in relief.
They watched the people outside whose battle is about to start!
…
"Oh? Women. Look, bros. They have women with them. How lucky~" one of the thieves spoke as he looked at Jenny with lecherous eyes.
"That's your type?" another one asked. "Sure, she's sexy and all, but she looks like she is the manipulative type. Suit yourself." He said and turned to Lan who was frowning at them. "I like this one. Are you a lily, babe? You should try men sometimes. I recommend myself." He told her and winked at her.
"You guys… you don't have a taste, you know?" someone said and looked at the silent Chichi with a smile. "You should choose the silent ones. I am sure they are loudest on the bed." He said and grinned as he licked his lips while hungrily looking at Chichi.
The thieving group lecherously laughed while looking at the three women with their eyes red in lust.
Huo Ling ignored these bastards. "Xi Kai. How do you want to kill them?" he asked.
The corner of Xi Kai's lips rose. "Oh? You are going for a kill?" he asked as he looked at Huo Ling in surprise.
Huo Ling nodded. "We can kill humans, too." He said. "Right… boss?" he called through his gritted teeth as he raised his head to look at Yi Bing who smiled, which made him even more irritated. He still hasn't forgotten how he introduced him as his legal husband!
Before, in the Normal World 9999 that turned to Abnormal World 9999, he was Yi Bing's student. If it is just that, it is okay. But, Huo Ling almost can't bear it after Yi Bing introduced him as his fiancé! Now, it became worse because they were already mar. Ried!
His face darkened. He was suppressing his anger this whole time but now, these thirsty bastards sent their heads on silver platters. How can he not smash them?!
"Yes." Yi Bing hid his smile lest it was him who Huo Ling will kill. "So? How many do you want to kill?" he asked Xi Kai.
"I have a beef with that smug bastard." Xi Kai said as he looked at the man who was grinning at the back.
"Oh? How?" Yi Bing asked.
Xi Kai didn't answer and just continued to glare at the man. It was Jenny who answered for him. "That guy is the son of the enemy of the boss' father." She answered. "Unfortunately, due to freakish combination of events, they ended up in the same car while escaping from the zombies. He pushed the boss out of the car to buy time for himself, and almost humiliated me, too. Fortunately, I awakened my ability after I snapped." She explained. "It is such a pity, though, that I didn't manage to kill that bastard since I went to save boss first." She finished.
"It is actually fortunate, Jenny." Xi Kai spoke. "Since you didn't rob me for avenging myself." He told her.
"Oh! Here comes the fun~" Jenny grinned as she looked at the man.
The man suddenly felt a chill on his spine, but suppressed the strange feeling that he felt.
"I want to savor the time that he will be in pain, until his blood becomes dry and his bones crushed into a fine powder." Xi Kai spoke and turned to Yi Bing. "Will you handle the extra two people, then?" he asked and glanced at Huo Ling whose aura is leaking, and the atmosphere around them suddenly turned hotter.
Yi Bing nodded in agreement. "Okay." He answered. He didn't ask about the women since he knows that they are roses that have extremely poisonous thorns.
These men who lusted after them will definitely regret it to their death… literally.
Yi Bing turned to Huo Ling. "So, uh… I'll give you two more punch bags?" he asked.
"Oh. How considerate of you… boss." Huo Ling spoke. Before Yi Bing could answer, his figure flashed and he disappeared on the spot. In just a blink of an eye, they saw him reappeared in front of the thieving group.
BAM! Blood splattered on the thieving group's faces near the man whom Huo Ling punched. The blood was mixed with some unspeakable liquid… and organs.
" – AAAAAAHHH!!!" the thieving group screamed when they finally reacted. Two people who have the fastest reaction ran away, but how can Huo Ling let them escape? He has two more punch bags to 'use'.
Xi Kai, the three ladies, and Ren and Qi Ying who were watching from the car. "…" too bloody. They thought. They didn't expect the seemingly proper-looking Huo Ling to be this violent. They looked at Yi Bing who has a stiff smile on his lips.
Yi Bing. "…" I have never been this thankful for my superior position. He thought. He is sure that if he and Huo Ling were equals, it was his head who will be the fourth head that Huo Ling will smash.
Fortunately, Jenny, Chichi and Lan have already been used to the gruesome sights in the apocalypse, and Ren, although her complexion is pale, is barely holding it. It was Qi Ying who can't take it and ran outside the car to retch.
Meanwhile, Xi Kai and the others watched Huo Ling came back with blood-drenched clothes. His shirt of white color earlier has now been dyed red.
"You won't fight anymore?" they heard him ask as he approached them. Then, he glanced at the thieving group who were left who didn't dare to look back to see how the two other members of them ended up in Huo Ling's hands.
They stood there frozen on the spot. Xi Kai grinned and ran towards his enemy while the three women went to the men who verbally harassed them earlier.
"Feeling better?" Yi Bing asked Huo Ling and gave him the handkerchief.
"Keep it. I heard the sound of water nearby after I killed those two. There must be a river there. I'll go and wash up." Huo Ling said.
"Be careful in case there are zombie fishes and snakes." Yi Bing said.
"Do I really have to?" Huo Ling asked. He didn't wait for Yi Bing to speak and then left.
Their bodies are corpses which doesn't rot or smell because of the Conferment Seal of Shen Sheng that is also giving them vital signs for them to pose as a human.
Yi Bing helplessly sighed as he watched Huo Ling's back while he flew an icicle towards his opponent who froze like a statue after being hit by the icicle and then died. He then turned to the others and saw Jenny, Lan and Chichi turned the three men who insulted them into bloody mess while Xi Kai and his enemy aren't in sight.
But, Yi Bing knows that Xi Kai is definitely torturing his enemy, as screams were heard and resounded in the surroundings.
