Chapter 449: Chapter 449 Seeing Lei Ting Again_1
But before the guard could press the button, he suddenly fainted and fell over, with Ye Luo appearing behind him.
"Phew, finally not too late," Ye Luo exhaled a breath of relief.
With the help of his Clairvoyant Eye, he knew that there were a large amount of high explosives buried within the base; should they detonate, the consequences would be unimaginable. Not only would the Han Group’s building collapse, but there would also likely be numerous innocent casualties. Fortunately, he managed to prevent it.
Then Ye Luo took out his phone, sent a text message, and his body disappeared from the spot.
A few hundred meters from the Han Group building, beneath a wall, there was an underground manhole cover, which was now being pushed open from the inside with a bang.
One figure after another sprang out; leading them were ten ninjas holding katanas, followed by Han Youwei, Tian Zhong, and several guards—over twenty people emerged here through the secret passage of the base.
"Move quickly!" Tian Zhong glanced around at the pitch-black night and said sternly, and the group prepared to leave the area.
"Thinking of running away!"
Suddenly, a group of people charged out of the darkness, armed and surrounding Tian Zhong and his group—it was Qingyun Sect’s personnel, led by Mingyue wearing a leather outfit.
"How did you know about this place?"
Seeing the Qingyun Sect’s people, both Tian Zhong and Han Youwei’s faces showed shock and disbelief.
Aside from the two of them, no third person knew about this secret passage; how could the Qingyun Sect people know, and it seemed they had been waiting in ambush here all along.
"Hmph, did you really think you were all that impressive, huh? You think you can just escape after doing such beastly acts?"
Mingyue scoffed disdainfully. However, in her heart, she was also somewhat incredulous because Ye Luo had informed her of this location earlier.
He had told her to bring people and wait here, saying that the base’s people would show up at this very spot. At first, she did not believe it, but unexpectedly, people really did appear; it was as if Ye Luo somehow knew it all, which seemed miraculous.
"What do we do now, Mr. Tian Zhong?" Han Youwei asked, his face filled with nervousness.
"There is only one way left for us, fight!" Tian Zhong shouted lowly, and immediately the ten ninjas and the group of guards all took action.
"Attack, don’t let a single one escape," Mingyue ordered coldly, and the Qingyun Sect personnel swiftly responded, engaging in fierce combat with the opposition.
Tian Zhong’s eyes glinted as he watched Mingyue, and with an astonishingly fast speed, he rushed toward her—Tian Zhong also possessed strength at the Innate Middle Stage.
As for Mingyue, although she had entered the Innate Realm Early Phase after some time of cultivation, she was still no match for Tian Zhong. However, she was naturally not a person to shy away from a fight. Seeing Tian Zhong charging at her, she did not evade but instead wielded her weapon and charged forward to meet him.
"Foolish girl, overestimating your abilities!" Tian Zhong snorted disdainfully. Without using any weapon, he simply struck out with a palm, knocking Mingyue’s weapon away and hitting her squarely. Mingyue was sent flying like a broken kite, landing on the ground with a mouthful of blood spouting out.
"You have a nice figure, little girl. How about I take you back to be my female slave?" Tian Zhong walked towards Mingyue, revealing a lewd expression.
"Ptui, in your dreams!" Mingyue spat out a mouthful of blood and glared determinedly at him. At this point, the other Qingyun Sect experts were already clashing with the group of ninjas and guards, unable to come to Mingyue’s aid.
"Oh, quite the fiery one. However, we from the Island Country have plenty of ways to tame you. Once I bring you back to the Island Country, I will train you into a very obedient female slave, at my beck and call," Tian Zhong revealed a sleazily typical smile of someone from the Island Country.
Mingyue’s face changed, and she couldn’t help showing a hint of panic in her eyes as she attempted to stand up. But Tian Zhong’s blow had already severely injured her, leaving her without the strength to resist.
"It’s a shame to have such a hot babe as a slave for someone like you from the Island Country. Even if she has to be a slave, she should at least be a slave to a handsome guy like Ye Luo."
Just then, a lazy voice sounded, and Ye Luo’s figure appeared out of nowhere, gazing disdainfully at Tian Zhong.
Tian Zhong looked at Ye Luo in shock, not expecting that this guy had not died and had even shown up here.
Meanwhile, Mingyue’s face brightened upon seeing Ye Luo, but after hearing his last sentence, her cheeks flushed, and she couldn’t help but glare at him, that bastard always taking advantage.
"I didn’t expect you to survive the destruction of that base," Tian Zhong said, staring at Ye Luo.
"Of course. Not only did I survive, but the base is still intact," Ye Luo said with a smile.
"What?" Both Tian Zhong and the distant Han Youwei were startled by Ye Luo’s words. They looked in the direction he indicated and indeed, there was no sign of disturbance.
If the self-destruct mechanism had been activated and the base had exploded, there would definitely have been some kind of disturbance. Since that was not the case, it meant the self-destruct mechanism had not been activated.
"It was you!"
Tian Zhong’s expression was very ugly as he stared at Ye Luo, his eyes flashing with anger.
"You’re quite clever, but unfortunately, there’s no reward," Ye Luo said with a teasing smile.
"Alright, surrender now," Ye Luo said casually, glancing at Tian Zhong.
"It’s you!"
A voice containing the power of Lei Ting suddenly rang out, and a figure slowly walked down the dark street.
In the moonlight and the street lights, the figure’s face became visible—it was Lei Ting, a disciple of Qingyun Sect who had chased Lin Tianhai before. They had not expected him to appear at this critical moment.
Ye Luo’s eyebrows furrowed, and his expression became a bit more somber, while the eyes of the others turned to Lei Ting as well.
An immense aura emanated from Lei Ting, his eyes like torches fixated on Ye Luo, flickering with a cold murderous intent and chill.
"Got business with me? I’m kind of busy right now," Ye Luo said to Lei Ting, quite imposingly.
"Where is Lin Tianhai?" Lei Ting asked coldly.
"Don’t know," Ye Luo uttered these three words nonchalantly.
Whoosh!
The sword was unsheathed, and Lei Ting launched a strike of Sword Qi without another word, slashing towards Ye Luo.
Instantly, Ye Luo dodged, and the sword stroke instead aimed for Tian Zhong’s back. Feeling the power of the sword, Tian Zhong quickly darted aside. The Sword Qi forced Tian Zhong to keep retreating, and it cleaved a lamppost in half, which crashed to the ground with a thunderous sound.
"That Sword Qi is really fierce!" thought Ye Luo, surprised. Lei Ting seemed even stronger than before, his strength almost reaching the Saint Realm.
Being only in his late twenties and possessing such talent, Lei Ting was indeed a genius. But Ye Luo believed that by the time he reached Lei Ting’s age, he would certainly already be a high-level Saint Realm expert.
After all, he was only twenty-three years old and had a four to five-year gap with Lei Ting. If he couldn’t enter the Saint Realm in those four or five years, he might as well bash his head in.
