Chapter 1113: Chapter 759: You Have Been Surrounded_2
"Hahaha—" Marquis Zhenbei laughed heartily, feeling extremely delighted, "You damned thing, didn’t expect it, did you? This trap was specially set up by your grandpa for you!"
"Hehehe..." Marquis An Nan covered her mouth lightly, her eyes full of emotion, and threw a flirtatious wink at the one robbing the goods, "I originally didn’t want to kill you, but since you don’t know what’s good for you, don’t blame me for being ruthless."
Marquis Zhengdong found the chatter irritating; if you’re going to kill someone, just do it, no need for so much talk. So, he took the initiative, removing the golden ring from his wrist and hurled it toward that person. At the same time, Marquis Zhenbei, unwilling to be outdone, swung his wolf fang club, and almost instantly appeared behind the person, smashing down with a hit.
But the next second, both Marquis Zhengdong and Marquis An Nan were momentarily stunned because they saw that person faced with the siege of three Ghost-level Apostles without a hint of panic, casually throwing away the lantern.
The next second, the golden ring whistled toward him, and just as it was about to hit his chest, the person flicked a piece of black cloth with his left hand, instantly wrapping the golden ring, cutting off the connection between the magic artifact and Marquis Zhengdong.
Then, calmly, he turned around, dodging the sneak attack from behind, and jabbed at Marquis Zhenbei’s face with a stick. In an instant, a bolt of lightning at least ten times thicker than before erupted.
"Bang!"
A figure with its upper body charred black, face unrecognizable, flew backward.
This scene completely stunned Marquis Zhengdong and Marquis An Nan, "Netherworld-level Apostle!!" Marquis An Nan screamed in shock.
No more need for commands; the two turned and ran, both aiming for Xiang Ma Town.
Now their only hope for salvation was at the Peace Hotel; killing was not allowed near the Peace Hotel.
As part of the Four Major Families of the town, they also knew the profound background of the Peace Hotel, with a Netherworld-level Apostle present inside. As long as that predecessor was willing to help, they could escape with their lives today.
They had seen clearly just now; this person finished off Marquis Zhenbei in one move; only a Netherworld-level Apostle could achieve this.
Faced with such a level of master, they had no will to resist at all.
"Run, you damn legs, run!!" They wished they could grow more legs.
The Netherworld-level master didn’t even give chase, but Marquis Zhengdong and An Nan couldn’t escape because a few figures appeared in front of them, blocking their path.
Though not as formidable as that predecessor, their strength was at least comparable to theirs; they were all true Ghost-level Apostles.
"It’s over..." Marquis Zhengdong’s face turned ashen, roughly guessing who these people were.
They were people from the Patrol Defense Office.
That bastard Pingxi Marquis called them on us.
"Ahem..." A group of people emerged from behind the four, and one of the leading figures, a middle-aged man with neatly combed, oiled hair, took out a megaphone from behind, cleared his throat, and shouted at them:
"I am Nalan Shuo, Director of the Rongcheng Lin’an Office. You are surrounded. Laying down your weapons and surrendering is your only option!"
"Be honest for leniency, resist and be strict, if there’s any resistance, you’ll end up like that roast chicken guy!"
"I am the Chief Level Chief, Nalan Shuo. I guarantee your safety with my honor!"
...
A few minutes ago, Yang Xiao received a message from Nalan Shuo, a simple message with just two words:
"It’s done."
His director handled matters very reliably. After receiving the message, Yang Xiao also began his performance, eliminating the leaders of the other three families was just one part of the plan.
The Peace Hotel is not foolish; you could guess with your behind that he was behind the scenes. Now he needed to clear his suspicion, or rather, he needed to give a public explanation to the hotel so both sides could save face.
Now all of his elite forces had left; in this vast mansion, there were only 5 Apostles left including Yang Xiao.
Yet, near the mansion, he had already sensed at least 20 people, including top-tier Fierce Grade and even half-step Ghost Level experts.
The elite forces of the other three families had all arrived, not only to wipe him out but also to take the opportunity to root out his whole line.
However, Yang Xiao was not flustered at all. He ordered someone to bring out a guqin and lay it horizontally on the stone table in the courtyard, then casually put on the You Character Mask symbolizing his status.
A stunningly beautiful woman stood before Yang Xiao, about in her early twenties, wearing a dance performance outfit; she was also an Apostle with excellent dancing skills.
Under Yang Xiao’s gaze, this Resentment Level Apostle couldn’t help but lower her eyes, feeling nervous.
"Do you know why I asked you to change clothes?" Yang Xiao asked, half-smiling, seeming to be in a very good mood.
When she heard this, the woman’s first thought was that with Tong Han not home, her boss might want to take liberties with her, but instead, she symbolically shook her head, looking confused, "I don’t know."
"Good, it’s better not to know. If everyone knew, you’d be sitting in the Pingxi Marquis’ position by now, wouldn’t you?"
Yang Xiao sat grandly on the stone stool, spreading his hands in a posture to play the qin, "Tonight I’m going to play a tune, and you will dance to entertain me!"
"Sir, may I ask which tune you will play?" The woman asked curiously.
Gently brushing the strings with his fingertips, Yang Xiao smiled lightly, "A melody to break the heart, where in the world can one find a soulmate."
A tune with a rugged, melancholic style resonated throughout the courtyard, and the elegant woman began to dance under the moonlight to the music. Yang Xiao lay his hands on the strings gently motionless, listening to the poignant piece coming from the Bluetooth speaker, feeling overwhelmed with emotions.
The people hidden near the courtyard also heard the music; one of them used an ability to peek, seeing a person wearing a You Character Mask in the courtyard playing the qin and a beauty dancing for entertainment.
"Fake, it’s too fake..." A white-haired elder sneered, "My lord Marquis says, he personally saw that little Pingxi Marquis leaving Xiang Ma Town under cover of night, this one’s fake."
"Heh, now without experts at their home, this is their panicked deceit, an empty city strategy!" The elder quickly added.
Another elder took out a pocket watch, looked at it, and smiled, "Judging by the time, the three Marquises should have eliminated Pingxi Marquis, and it’s our turn to act."
"Let’s work quickly, kill all their remaining people, steal everything, and definitely cause chaos with fire before we leave. We only have ten minutes, or the Ghost Slave will come." The last elder emphasized, they were all key members of the three families, and tonight, the three families sent over 20 people to raid Yang Xiao’s house.
Upon sensing the villains nearby suddenly exuding strong malicious intent, Yang Xiao gestured for the dancing woman to come over, and very gentlemanly took her hand, giving it a light kiss on the back, then instructed her to hide inside, no matter what happens outside, not to come out.
"Is it Ms. Han returning?" The woman’s face, already sweating, turned deathly pale in fright.
Everyone already knew about Tong Han’s relationship with the man in front of her, and she was well aware of Tong Han’s methods; those who played tricks on them behind their backs ended up in very unpleasant circumstances.
Yang Xiao’s expression turned awkward, he shook his head without offering any explanation, because visitors had already arrived.
They were three masked individuals, whose facial hair beneath the masks indicated they were old men.
With the intelligence network Tong Han had built, Yang Xiao had some understanding of these three individuals; they were all top-tier figures in the Li Generation, and the old man in the middle was of half-step Ghost Level.
In terms of spiritual power alone, these three weren’t much different from him.
"You three are quite talented. If you are willing to submit to me, I wouldn’t mind giving you a bite to eat." With hands clasped behind his back, Yang Xiao displayed the demeanor of a master.
"Stop pretending, you’re not Pingxi Marquis, you’re his stand-in. It’s rare... for him to find such a capable stand-in," the old man on the right noticed that Yang Xiao’s spiritual power was not inferior to his own, causing a slight ripple in his heart, but after all, they were three against one.
"Watch out!!"
Suddenly, the elder in the middle shouted, making a move, striking behind the elder on the right, with the red glove in hand.
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared behind the elder on the right, clutching a piece of black stone.
