Chapter 319: Giving You a Chance to Live
Chapter 319 of "Kaidan Game Train: Abide Rule or Die!" opens presenting: Chapter 319: Chapter 319: Giving You a Chance to LiveThe bald man pretended not to... Donât stop now!
Chapter 319: Chapter 319: Giving You a Chance to LiveThe bald man pretended not to hear Liu Jiaâs words and did not turn around, but just like that, his eyes still turned black.
Xu Huo had already arrived to his right and slashed down with a sword, creating a Sword Qi Barrier that surged forward. The opponent, however, was suddenly covered by a semi-transparent giant bell. The Crimson Sword couldnât cut through the bell, and the Sword Qi was instead dissipated at the periphery!
His expression changed slightly as he quickly adjusted his stance and swept his sword horizontally.
The Crimson Sword could only cut through the first target. It was difficult to engage fully in combat in such a forest, and this sword strike was meant to draw the bald manâs attention.
Although the bald man couldnât see, he still took a defensive posture at the sound of the strike, just in time for Yan Jiayu to leap from behind, her muscles bulging as she wielded the Demon-Subduing Pestle, ruthlessly smashing it on the back of his head!
The hit didnât directly land on the bald man, but the bell emitted a deafening buzzing sound, making people at a distance involuntarily cover their ears, let alone the bald man inside the bell. Liu Jiaâs shouting had worked, but he was left dizzy and bleeding from the nose due to the ringing of his own tool!
Yan Jiayu took the chance to deliver another blow with her staff, and this time the bald man couldnât hold on. Whether voluntarily or not, he deactivated the toolâs effect and half-knelt on the ground.
Xu Huo didnât hold back just because the man seemed to be badly injured, and as he signaled Yan Jiayu to step back, he swung his sword down!
The bald man wasnât as bad off as he appeared to be. In the next second, he shot out to the left, dodging the slash and reaching for Yan Jiayu with a colorful smoke spewing from his palm!
Yan Jiayu instinctively held her breath, turned, and climbed up a tree. With an unbelievable speed, she scaled several meters up the trunk and then leapt down from above, tumbling in mid-air before fiercely stomping on the bald manâs forehead!
The bald man tried to grab her, but by then, Xu Huo had arrived and grabbed his arm, twisting it hard alongside the sound of bone cracking. The bald man groaned in pain and struck back with his other hand!
Xu Huo blocked the hit with his sword held vertically by his side, and just as the man tried to retreat his hand, Xu Huo kicked him away!
The bald man flew several meters before crashing into a thick tree and tumbling down. He spat out blood and immediately took out a potion, but before he could drink it, Yan Jiayu smashed it with a pebble.
Shen Xin and Hu Wenhao had finished their end, tying up the player and dragging him over. Xu Huo and the others were all freed up.
A flicker of regret flashed across the bald manâs face, then he kneeled on the ground, begging for mercy, "Donât kill me, I have inside information! I hold no grudge against you; I was just paid to do a job!"
"Is that so?" Xu Huo flew behind him with his strings controlled, "Who hired you?"
"If I tell you, will you let me go?" the bald man hesitated to ask.
"Still trying to negotiate terms?" Yuan Yao, who had been skirting the edge of the fight, finally dared to step forward.
Sima Xiaoâer said angrily, "If youâre dead, just wait and see how Iâll deal with you back at the Special Defense Department!"
The bald man didnât look at either of them, but stared at Xu Huo, "Just give me a guarantee, and Iâll tell you. Youâre in charge here."
Xu Huo looked at him, "Speak and you can die a quick death."
Seeing that Xu Huo wouldnât relent, the bald man said, "Iâm going to die either way; what good does it do me to tell? Maybe someone will avenge me later!"
"Thatâs one way to think about it," Xu Huo raised his hand, his fingers crossed as they manipulated the strings to glide over, but the Bald Head was once again covered by the Golden Bell, laughing as he said, "Ordinary objects canât break my Golden Bell; you canât kill me!"
"Is that so?" Xu Huo withdrew his swords and chopped off a five-meter-long log, which he then pushed and kicked toward Bald Head.
Bald Headâs face changed color, instinctively wanting to flee, but his escape route had already been cut off. He glanced over Yan Jiayu and the others before choosing Zhou Ningâs direction, only to find that, as he took a step forward, Zhou Ning had transformed into a Giant Python, its gaping maw aiming for him!
Bald Head immediately changed direction, but by then the log had already struck him, pinning him against a tree through the Golden Bell. The forceful impact caused the bell to emit a dull drone, rolling his eyes back in his head!
"Iâm guessing your object canât last too long, but even if it could go on for twenty-four hours non-stop, thatâs no problemâI can strike the bell for twenty-four hours. I wonder if you can listen that long." Xu Huo finished speaking, his hands relaxed and then tensed, breaking the tree behind Bald Head from a distance of five meters.
"Youâre...cruel!" Bald Head couldnât even last three minutes before his Golden Bell object disappeared, and he knelt on the ground, propped against the tree, "I say..."
"It was Hou Song, a Pioneer Player from the Hua City Special Defense Sub-department." He said, "Heâs the one who sent me to ambush you, and he mentioned that if I succeeded, not only would I receive a third of your objects, but also a large sum of money."
"Using a third of the objects as a reward, itâs not just for your objects, right?" Zhou Ning looked at Xu Huo, "Do you know this Hou Song?"
Xu Huo quickly reviewed the information in his mind, "Heâs Chief Liaoâs driver; heâs the one who drove me to the hospital."
"Thatâs right, Iâve seen him," Yuan Yao said.
Yan Jiayu also said, "I heard Chief Wu say that the news of your evolution was leaked by him."
"So heâs the Inside Ghost!" Sima Xiaoâer spat, "Old man Liao likes to take advantage of every opportunity, who knew heâd have someone slipping through the cracks right under his nose, Iâll call the chief right away."
Xu Huo gestured for him to wait, then asked Bald Head, "Where were you supposed to meet up?"
Bald Headâs eyes shifted slightly, he was about to say something when he looked up and was startled by Xu Huoâs gaze. The rippleless eyes seemed to transform into a tangible oppression, giving him the chills and causing a cold sweat to break out, with the words he intended to say stumbling out involuntarily, "...itâs Ting City! Just not far from The First Research Institute!"
"Besides the objects, did he ask you to bring my body there?" Xu Huo asked again.
Bald Head, intimidated by Xu Huoâs compelling gaze, hastened to reply, "How did you know, thatâs exactly what he said..."
Considering the Hua City incident, it was clear to everyone else; the objects were secondary. Hou Song was primarily interested in Xu Huoâs second evolution and wanted to decrease the difficulty by only bringing Xu Huoâs dead body back.
"But why did he hire you guys to do this?" Yuan Yao couldnât help asking, "Youâre so weak."
Bald Head glared at him resentfully. It wasnât that they were too weak; it was that Xu Huoâs objects were too formidable. With a single confrontation, Xu Huo had killed half of their people. Otherwise, it was uncertain who would win if a real fight had broken out!
No wonder so many people wanted him dead; just these objects were enough to make anyone envious.
His gaze uncontrollably lingered on the sword in Xu Huoâs hand, then he heard Xu Huo say, "How about this, you lead me to the meet-up, and Iâll give you a chance to live."
