You Know Nothing About Six of Hearts
"A misunderstanding?"
Wang Jincheng's eyes narrowed slightly, "You're the head bodyguard hired by the Beidou Consortium, right? I advise you not to throw your life away for that little salary... No matter who it is, as long as they attempt to harbor a Dusk Society member, [Floating Life Painting] will pursue it to the end."
"That's why I said there must be a misunderstanding here. I watched Li Ruohong grow up, with his cowardly look, how could he possibly be a Dusk Society member?" Zhong Qi said in a deep voice.
Wang Jincheng's mind recalled the scene just now under the canopy ceiling, where "Li Ruohong" had manipulated him with a smile, his brows furrowing tighter and tighter:
"You know nothing about Six of Hearts."
Wang Jincheng didn't have time to continue bickering with Zhong Qi. He knew very well what he had seen, and if he was delayed like this any longer, Six of Hearts might just escape entirely...
Wang Jincheng's naturally hanging hands slowly clenched tight. The ground beneath his feet trembled slightly, and dense, hideous cracks spread across the surface like a spiderweb. One terrifying giant boulder after another floated up from the cracks in the ground, silently hovering in mid-air.
These giant boulders were like small mountain peaks suppressing the sky above the city. Any single one falling down would be enough to smash an entire city block to pieces. Hovering darkly under the rain clouds at this moment, the terrifying sense of oppression was suffocating...
"Before [Floating Life Painting] made a move, I had already sent people to evacuate the nearby masses. As for these buildings... if they are destroyed, then they are destroyed."
Wang Jincheng seemed determined to catch the Dusk Society in one fell swoop. His Sixth Stage Spiritual Power poured out. Coupled with the barbaric combat style unique to the [Pioneer] path, even Zhong Qi, who was also at the Sixth Stage, unconsciously took a half-step back under the shroud of these numerous mountain peaks.
"Damn it..." Zhong Qi gritted his teeth and tightened his grip on the ice sword hilt in his hand. Facing the overwhelmingly flying giant boulders, he could only brace himself and swing his sword.
With one sword strike from Zhong Qi, a cold wave instantly covered the cracked earth with ice and snow. Countless thick ice spikes rose from the surface to block the small mountain peaks crashing down from the sky!
Boom—!!
Ice and snow fragments, along with shattered rocks, fell from the sky like raindrops, smashing the block below into ruins. The two figures clashed rapidly in mid-air, the visible shockwaves sweeping across the horizon.
Different from the situation just now where several [Hall Masters] crushed Feijia and his companion, although Wang Jincheng and Zhong Qi were both at the Sixth Stage, their clash was filled with genuine destructive power. An entire city block was reduced to ashes under the friction of their Domains. A massive number of buildings were either smashed to pieces by falling rock fragments or frozen into ice blocks by the extreme cold and snow, then smashed to pieces.
A few minutes later, a blood-covered Zhong Qi plummeted from the shattered ice and snow to the ground, kicking up a massive amount of billowing dust; Wang Jincheng's condition was relatively better, only half of his body was frozen by the cold ice, his movements slightly stiff.
"Truly stupid..." Wang Jincheng looked coldly at the incredibly battered Zhong Qi. As he spoke, a breath of hot air drifted from his frost-covered mouth, "If Six of Hearts escapes because of you, neither you nor your employer Mu Chunsheng will be able to escape implication!"
Wang Jincheng was also truly angry. He never expected this head bodyguard of the Beidou Consortium to actually entangle with him for so long. With Six of Hearts' disguise and escape abilities, he might have already blended back into the crowd by now!
"Cough, cough, cough..." Amidst the ruins, Zhong Qi stood up with extreme difficulty, "Bureau Chief Wang, I said there must be a misunderstanding here..."
"Misunderstanding? Misunderstanding my..."
Before Wang Jincheng could say the last word, a sense of crisis suddenly came from the back of his head. His hairs instantly stood on end, and he dodged to the side without any hesitation!
Pfft—!
An invisible bullet grazed past his cheek and landed on a hard stone block not far away. The latter was instantly chiseled with a large hole, as if the matter inside had been entirely Deconstructed and dissipated!
If Wang Jincheng's movements had been slightly slower, his entire head would probably have vanished instantly!
This sudden unforeseen event sent a shock through both Wang Jincheng's and Zhong Qi's minds. They simultaneously looked towards the direction the bullet flew from, only to see a familiar figure standing in the misty dust. One hand gripped a gun handle, wisps of smoke drifting from the muzzle...
The moment he saw that face, Zhong Qi's mind was shaken!
"It's you?!"
"It's you!!" Wang Jincheng froze for a moment, and then ecstasy surfaced in his eyes!
He saw "Li Ruohong" standing there. Seeing his Kill Order strike miss and fail to sneak-attack and kill Wang Jincheng, a look of disappointment surfaced on his face.
"Tsk... what a piece of trash, to not even exhaust him to the limit like this... making me miss."
This sentence from "Li Ruohong" was directed at Zhong Qi. The latter was currently standing dumbly in a pool of blood, his gaze towards "Li Ruohong" full of disbelief!
At this time, "Li Ruohong" didn't have the slightest bit of the cowardice and worthlessness from just now. His deep, abyss-like gaze was full of disdain, seemingly very dissatisfied that Zhong Qi failed to heavily injure Wang Jincheng and didn't let him succeed in Reaping the Rewards of Others' Labor.
"You... you..." Zhong Qi was stunned for a moment. As if he had thought of something, his breathing became increasingly heavy.
"Li Ruohong" also couldn't be bothered to pretend anymore. He reached out and forcefully tore at his chin, and a face mask drifted away in the air. The moment the face belonging to Chen Ling was exposed to the air, Zhong Qi's hanging heart finally died.
The young master he had just taken action to save, the Li Ruohong he had gone all out to fight Wang Jincheng to buy time for to escape first, was actually genuinely Six of Hearts in disguise?!!
"I told you a long time ago! He is Six of Hearts! You idiot." Seeing this scene, Wang Jincheng said with both anger and joy, "Your entire group was played by him!!"
Wang Jincheng's anger lay in Zhong Qi's infuriating stupidity, actually believing that the person just now was Li Ruohong; Wang Jincheng's joy lay in the fact that Six of Hearts actually didn't choose to escape, but boldly hid to the side, wanting to Reap the Rewards of Others' Labor after he and Zhong Qi were mutually injured!
Although he had indeed almost fallen for the trick just now, at least Six of Hearts hadn't run far, and he could still kill him with his own hands!
Chen Ling's "long-premeditated" strike missed. He sighed in "regret," and then, wearing Li Ruohong's clothes, he frantically sprinted towards a certain direction without hesitation!
"Six of Hearts!! Where do you think you're going!!"
Wang Jincheng roared loudly and was about to pursue in Chen Ling's direction. But with half his body frostbitten, his movements were indeed a bit sluggish. He gritted his teeth and simply pulled a giant boulder right out from the ground. He half-crouched on it, letting the giant boulder carry his body and shoot up into the sky!
Zhong Qi stood dumbly in place, naturally not taking action to stop Wang Jincheng again. At this moment, he still hadn't recovered from the shock brought by Chen Ling. Those eyes full of disdain were like a nightmare shrouding his heart...
Smack—
The more Zhong Qi thought about it, the angrier he got. His whole face flushed red, and he gave himself a backhanded slap to the face.
"Fuck! I'm a f*cking idiot!"
