Chapter 176 Another Interception
The three Illuminati members escaped very quickly.
The head of the Zhong family chased after them all the way out of the Zhong family compound, following them as they leaped across rooftops and walls, but they were always far behind, and the gap continued to widen.
Just as he frowned, he heard the sound of wind breaking beside him.
The head of the Zhong family glanced at it and showed surprise.
"Mr. Xiao, why did you come out?" he asked anxiously.
After all, Xiao Chen is so young and a top-notch physician, his martial arts strength should not be strong.
What's the difference between chasing three S-rank Lightbringers and suicide missions?
“Mr. Xiao, there’s no need for you to trouble yourself with this. You should go back. I will go with them and wait for the official forces to arrive so we can immediately seal off the operation and make arrests!” the Zhong family head advised.
“By the time the main force arrives, you’ll have lost them,” Xiao Chen replied.
The head of the Zhong family immediately looked embarrassed.
"I'm not going to waste my breath on you. You're too slow, so I'm not going to wait for you," Xiao Chen said again.
The head of the Zhong family was speechless.
He is a King-level martial artist, how could he be looked down upon like this?
Who's slower?
"Whoosh!"
Xiao Chen's speed suddenly increased dramatically, and he shot out like a beam of light, appearing far ahead in the blink of an eye, and then disappearing without a trace.
The head of the Zhong family stared wide-eyed, completely stunned.
"What...what speed? How can Mr. Xiao have this speed?" he muttered to himself in shock.
Even a King-level martial artist running at full speed couldn't keep up with his exhaust fumes...
Xiao Chen quickly approached the three members of the Illuminati.
The three of them weren't under much pressure to begin with, having already left the Zhong family head behind, and their expressions were relaxed.
"Send a message to the main headquarters: the mission has failed. To invade the Xiao family, we need to send an elder!" the leader ordered.
When they sensed someone chasing them, they were surprised for a moment and prepared to speed up.
One of them turned around and his expression turned strange.
“Look back quickly!” he shouted.
The other two glanced back and frowned in unison.
The three of them gradually slowed down and eventually stopped in place.
After sensing the situation, they were certain that only Xiao Chen was chasing after them.
"This kid is really courting death, daring to chase after me alone." The three of them had similar expressions.
A few seconds later, Xiao Chen was face to face with them.
"Kid, you've got guts. I don't know if you're just bold or ignorant, but you dared to chase three of us all by yourself. You've got real courage," the leader sneered, his gaze sweeping over Xiao Chen from head to toe.
They all felt that Xiao Chen had delivered himself to their doorstep.
"Dealing with the Xiao family would have been a bit difficult before, but now that we have hostages, it's much easier."
The three looked at each other and smiled.
The Illuminati love to use hostages to threaten others into submission.
"Has the message been sent? If it has, then withdraw it. There's no need for the headquarters to send anyone. The three of us can handle this." The leader said meaningfully.
"The fact that an outcast from the South City could become a seed of the Xiao family in Jiang City means there must be something they value highly. I think they'd be happy to negotiate..."
"Don't rush to withdraw," Xiao Chen said calmly.
"You should call more people."
"Huh?" The three frowned upon hearing this, not understanding what he meant.
“They only come in so many each time, it’s not enough to kill,” Xiao Chen said.
The three of them immediately changed their expressions.
"Did you kill those Illuminati members before?" They couldn't believe it and wanted to rebuke Xiao Chen for his shameless boasting.
But Xiao Chen stopped talking, a beautiful dagger appeared in his hand, and he slowly walked towards them.
He didn't take the three of them seriously at all, as if killing them all by himself was an easy thing.
The three men were enraged, their faces contorted with rage.
"You're asking for death!" The leader sneered, then winked at one of the men, signaling him to attack.
The man sneered as he charged toward Xiao Chen.
The contrast between the fast and slow paces creates a highly discordant scene.
In less than two seconds, the two sides were close to each other.
Xiao Chen's hand holding the knife moved slightly, a flash of cold light disappearing in an instant.
The man swept past him, rushing several steps before stopping and freezing in place.
But Xiao Chen continued onward.
The two men stared at each other, about to call out to the person.
"Boom!"
He collapsed to the ground, his eyes wide open, a bright red line of blood on his neck.
In an instant, the expressions of the remaining two people changed drastically.
An S-rank Lightbringer dies in a single encounter...
What kind of strength is this?
Can a young man have this ability?
Both of them were deeply shocked.
Without any need for communication, they attacked together instantly, heading straight for Xiao Chen.
At this moment, both of them looked extremely solemn and were under intense mental tension.
Xiao Chen's slow movements put immense psychological pressure on them.
However, the next moment, Xiao Chen's figure suddenly twisted.
When he's fast, the two people opposite him can only see afterimages.
The two were horrified; their pupils dilated.
The cold light flashed again...
As Xiao Chen stopped moving, the two corpses fell to the ground.
The three S-rank Lightbringers of the Illuminati were all killed in less than twenty seconds.
A moment later, several underworld guards emerged from the shadows and began to dispose of the corpse.
A cell phone was found on a corpse and handed to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen glanced at it and saw a message that had just been sent to an unknown number without a contact name.
"Mission in Jiang City failed. Please send more personnel from headquarters." That was the message.
Xiao Chen sent another message with a blank expression.
"The situation is critical! A mysterious organization is targeting our Illuminati. Several S-rank Lightbringers have been killed in battle. We need reinforcements immediately!"
After sending the message, Xiao Chen waited for a while, but there was no response from the other party.
There were no replies in the log.
His expression remained unchanged. He tossed his phone to one of the underworld guards and turned to walk towards the Zhong family's residence.
On the other side, the head of the Zhong family was running and sweating profusely.
He desperately wanted to catch up with the people in front of him, but he completely lost them when he tried to catch up, and could only frantically search within a certain area.
Worried that something had happened to Xiao Chen, he frantically overexerted his internal energy, but still couldn't find him.
Just when she was about to run out of breath, she saw Xiao Chen walking towards her.
The head of the Zhong family rushed over.
"How was it...did you catch up?" he asked breathlessly.
“We lost them,” Xiao Chen said calmly.
"We lost them... so be it." The head of the Zhong family showed no surprise.
After all, those were three S-rank Lightbringers. Even though Xiao Chen had a fast burst speed, it was unlikely that he could catch up.
Rather, it's a good thing we didn't catch up.
Those three could kill him so easily; if something really happened, the Zhong family would be filled with guilt.
This was the idea of the Zhong family head.
"I will have people search the entire area; they may not be able to escape," said the Zhong family head, beckoning Xiao Chen back to the mansion.
When they returned to the Zhong family home, the Zhong family breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's good that Mr. Xiao is alright..." everyone said with a smile.
Xiao Chen came to Dongfang Ruyi's side.
“I secretly followed them out and overheard Xiao Yichen saying that he was going to mobilize people to deal with you, uncover your secrets, and change the situation in Jiang City,” Dongfang Ruyi said in a low voice.
"That's good." Xiao Chen smiled.
The reason for not touching Xiao Yichen is to wait for him to attract more people, preferably all the elites of the Heavenly King Palace.
His scheme had been planned long ago.
