Novel Bin Chapter 679: Get the Hell Out
Chapter 679: Get the Hell Out
It...it shouldn’t turn out like this.
I considered everything... The plan should’ve been foolproof...
—Hahahaha stop making me laugh! Qing Ling died! She died! You called this foolproof? You failed! Completely!
I didn’t know Qilin could do that. We could’ve run away safely...
—Say, you did this on purpose, didn’t you? You wanted to get everyone killed, didn’t you?
I didn’t.
—Everyone’s dead, and you’re alive. Then you’ll become God. Isn’t that nice?
I’ve never wanted that!
—You’re the Divine Scion, meant to be God. What’s so wrong with sacrificing a few people on your way to godhood?
—Hurry up already! Don’t bother with the dead ones. They should be your stepping stones, not obstacles that stop you from going forward.
Get out!
Get the hell out of my head!
...
Gao Yang dropped Wang Zikai and Hong Xiaoxiao, tearing at his hair with both hands and howling at the sky like a lunatic.
“Get out!!!”
Hum.
Blinding white light shot out of his eyes, and white energy rippled from his chest. A hundred meters away, Qilin and Yan Liang felt a moment of numbness, their skills interrupted for a second. They didn’t know that it was an energy granted by a life monster’s bloodline, named the Wave of Serenity. As Lin Yue’s child, Gao Yang possessed the same energy, only it had been dormant in his body.
What Qilin and Yan Liang did know was that the energy was foreign and dangerous.
Fortunately for them, Gao Yang didn’t make any counterattacks after that. Quite the contrary, he broke down completely, dropping to his knees and hands.
“You okay, bro?!”
With Statues losing its grip and the cleansing Wave of Serenity hitting him, Wang Zikai recovered the clarity of his mind instantly, realizing that Gao Yang was kneeling on the ground.
“I’m...so dizzy...”
Hong Xiaoxiao fell to the ground, knees buckling.
Her head had felt heavy since Qilin used Statues on her. Then she got teleported around multiple times, further compounding her dizziness.
Qilin’s face was pale a hundred meters away. The eight seconds of enhanced power Medicine S granted him came to an end. He could only leave the rest to Yan Liang.
Qilin slowly closed his eyes and toppled backward.
Swoosh. The first to arrive was Azure Dragon. He came up to Qilin and caught him in time.
Now!
Yan Liang knew that it was his best and only chance. Gao Yang had broken down, and Wang Zikai and Hong Xiaoxiao were still in a moment of confusion.
The facial features of the mask he wore distorted again. He aimed his hands at the three targets and quickly pressed his thumbs and hands together, using the kill with precise lethality, Heartstealer.
Whoosh.
Suddenly, Gao Yang, Wang Zikai, and Hong Xiaoxiao disappeared.
Yan Liang was caught off guard. What happened?
Even Azure Dragon, with his keen senses, only faintly saw a gust of black wind taking the three awakeners away. Propping Qilin up, he thought back to the report of Seven Shadow’s fight with Lilia. The Spectres had joined him then, and among them was someone called Waking Insects. While he wasn’t a fighter, he could go twice the speed of sound, a perfect getaway card.
Azure Dragon gave up on giving chase.
Whoosh.
A few seconds later, another gust of wind vanished Lithe Snake’s and Qing Ling’s bodies.
Azure Dragon started, and then he let out a bitter laugh.
The Spectre came and went right before me like wind, yet I couldn’t do anything. What a bold taunt.
Holding Qilin, Azure Dragon walked up to Yan Liang with a serious expression.
“Why are Guildmaster and you here?”
Yan Liang didn’t explain. He lowered his hands and put them behind his back, taking slow steps as he lamented, “We were so close. Gao Yang had a contingency.”
Azure Dragon soon noticed the unconscious Ke Yo nearby. He frowned. “What is Ke Yo doing here?”
Yan Liang chuckled. “She’ll be the new Black Tortoise.”
...
Ninety seconds later, the Li River Villa.
Inside the living room, Nine Frost was resting on the sofa with his eyes closed, having completed his mission. Gray Bear, who was also at the base, couldn’t stay in one place. He paced around the living room and kept checking his phone.
“It’ll go well, right?” Gray Bear couldn’t help but ask again.
Nine Frost patiently repeated, “Trust Captain.”
“Of course I trust Captain, but I’m still worried!” Gray Bear was concerned, but also felt a little wronged. “Old Frost, why didn’t Captain include me? Am I not more useful than Can?”
“You can’t turn invisible, and you can’t fly.”
Gray Bear paused before shooting back, “But I can take hits! Outside of Kaizi, who among us can take hits better than I do?”
“This is a mission to grab someone, not fight.”
“I was there when we grabbed Dr. Jia!” Gray Bear got worked up.
“Things are different. You were in Spice Nation, but this time, we were grabbing someone on Qilin Guild’s home turf.” Nine Frost paused. “And Hong Xiaoxiao had already brought you back once.”
“Do I seem like the kind of person who fears death...”
Whoosh.
A gust of wind interrupted Gray Bear.
Waking Insects appeared in a black tailcoat, holding a body in each hand. It was Lithe Snake and Qing Ling.
“Lithe Snake! Qing Ling!” Gray Bear yelled in shock. “What happened?”
“They’re dead,” Waking Insects said regretfully.
He laid down their bodies before vanishing in another gust of wind.
Gray Bear and Nine Frost stared at them in shock, unable to process the information for a moment.
Lithe Snake and Qing Ling are dead? How?
Weren’t they supposed to be there as support? The one charging in and risking his life is Captain. Why were they the ones to die?
Waking Insects appeared about eight seconds later, supporting Gao Yang and Wang Zikai with each hand while carrying Hong Xiaoxiao on his back.
He let go of the two men and laid Hong Xiaoxiao down. Then he walked to a sofa and collapsed without making a sound.
His body quickly shrunk and evaporated into a clump of light gray gas, coming out of his tailcoat.
The gas fluctuated; it converged at the center, erupting and spreading outward before converging again. It looked like a small loop fountain.
