Chapter 116 Are you tired of living?
Under the cover of night, several cars sped away from the Xiao family's house.
"Sister Feifei, do you think Xiao Chen... is he still alive?" someone asked worriedly.
Xiao Feifei remained silent upon hearing this.
"That masked guy is so powerful, and he has so many capable subordinates. With Xiao Chen's meager strength, it's basically impossible for him to save his life," Xiao Lin said irritably.
"Xiao Lin, don't forget, if Xiao Chen hadn't lured them away, what would have become of everyone now!" Xiao Feifei glared at him.
The disdainful looks from the people around him made Xiao Lin feel embarrassed, and he didn't say anything more.
"Let's do our best and leave the rest to fate. I hope he's lucky and has a long life ahead of him," Xiao Feifei sighed.
Despite their injuries, they rushed back to the Xiao family as quickly as possible and notified the higher-ups. The family head personally led the operation, making every second count.
As for whether they could be saved, the crowd didn't have much hope.
Soon, the car arrived at the place where the bus was stuck in traffic.
There was no one there. The head of the Xiao family asked for directions, and the convoy continued on its way.
A strong smell of blood wafted from the dark alley, giving everyone a bad feeling.
"laugh!!"
The vehicle braked suddenly.
There's someone on the ground!
Amidst shouts, everyone got off the bus.
When they could see what was on the ground with the help of the car headlights, everyone was stunned.
The ground was littered with corpses...
"What's going on?" Xiao Feifei and the others were all shocked and incredulous.
How could they not recognize that these were assassins who had intercepted them?
The Xiao family's trial disciples were utterly powerless against them, yet now they are all dead here...
They didn't think Xiao Chen could do that.
"Zhang Benquan!" A high-ranking official recognized a corpse and exclaimed in shock.
"Butler? Isn't he the one with the mask? Why is he stopping us? And how can he be so strong?" The trial disciples were greatly surprised.
The head of the Xiao family looked at the corpse, his face growing increasingly grim.
"Search them," he coldly ordered.
His men did as instructed and soon made a discovery.
"Everyone has the same pattern on their body, only the colors are different..."
"This is... the logo of the Illuminati!" A high-ranking member gasped upon seeing it.
"I never expected Zhang Benquan to be a member of the Illuminati!"
Xiao Feifei and the others were all shocked.
The Illuminati, an international S-level organization, is renowned and widely known.
That was a super power that even the top-tier powers in the Xia Kingdom couldn't match.
Only the likes of the Underworld Palace can be ranked higher.
"Zhang Benquan is actually an A-level Lightbringer of the Illuminati!" The higher-ups stared at the color of the pattern on Zhang Benquan's abdomen, their faces extremely grim.
"I heard that the Illuminati's A-rank Lightbringer is the strongest below the King level!" Xiao Lin said with a look of shock. "Such a powerful being was slaughtered... Who could have done this?"
"It's not just him, there are two more A-level characters!" The other two golden patterns were shocking, and the Xiao family members fell silent upon seeing them.
Three A-rank Lightbringers, along with more than twenty B-rank and C-rank Lightbringers, were slaughtered in such a short time!
This could shake the entire martial arts world of Jiang City...
Everyone was uneasy, wondering who the person who had made the move was.
Considering that a few days ago a mysterious powerful figure thrashed the entire Xiao family, there might be a connection.
A sense of impending doom weighed heavily on the Xiao family.
"They were all one-hit kills. The attackers weren't ordinary King-level experts; they were at least among the top five in Jiang City," the Xiao family patriarch guessed.
"Master, what do we do now?" someone asked.
"Are any members of my Xiao family among the corpses?" the Xiao family patriarch asked.
"No."
He breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the reply.
"Continue searching for Xiao Chen's whereabouts in the vicinity, and also increase manpower for investigation to try to find out the whole story," the Xiao family patriarch instructed.
Then, he fell into deep thought.
A moment later, he frowned, turned around, and got into the car.
"Return to the family."
……
Inside the courtyard of the Xiao family's second young master.
Xiao Qiang and Xiao Xiong knelt in the courtyard, looking anxious.
Young Master Xiao stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze cold and sinister.
"Second Young Master, if you're not going to help, then let us leave. We'll go and rescue Xiao Chen ourselves!" Xiao Qiang pleaded.
"You bastard! You piece of trash!" Young Master Xiao's expression hardened as he cursed.
"I told you to take good care of Xiao Chen, but not only did you fail to complete the mission, you've also become his side? Have you forgotten the benefits I gave you?" He cursed as his face turned ferocious.
He never expected that these two lackeys would come to him begging to save Xiao Chen.
This infuriated him.
"Just a jinx, his life is worth less than grass. If he dies, he dies. If either of you dares to ask for anything again, I'll cripple you!" Young Master Xiao kicked out twice, knocking both of them down.
Xiao Qiang and Xiao Xiong endured the pain and got up. They looked at each other and nodded.
Even if they lacked the ability, they still rushed to save Xiao Chen.
Because here, only Xiao Chen truly treats them as human beings!
From the moment he slapped Miss Tong for Xiao Qiang's sake, he became the true master in their eyes.
"Second Young Master, we're leaving." The two stood up, said to Second Young Master Xiao, and hurriedly ran outside.
Young Master Xiao was furious, his anger surging like a raging torrent.
"You two dare to defy me! You're asking for death!" With a furious shout, he leaped into the air and attacked the two men.
The two sides were vastly different in strength, and neither of them had the power to resist.
Young Master Xiao was so ruthless that he didn't care if someone actually beat him to death.
Seeing the fierce attack coming, Xiao Qiang and Xiao Xiong's expressions changed drastically, and they had no time to defend themselves.
Just as they were about to be infected...
"boom!"
A loud bang, as if a rocket had shot in, made the air seem to explode.
The powerful shockwave forced Young Master Xiao to retreat, preventing him from launching another attack.
After the storm subsided, a figure stood before the two.
Upon seeing that familiar face, the two were stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.
"Master Chen, you're alive! You're back!" They were extremely excited.
"What? Impossible!" After regaining his footing, Young Master Xiao heard the two voices and his mind went blank.
He quickly looked over and saw Xiao Chen.
Young Master Xiao's eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost.
"How could you..." He pointed at Xiao Chen, unable to believe it.
He clearly ordered Zhang Benquan to take men to cripple Xiao Chen.
He knew Zhang Benquan's capabilities and wasn't worried at all.
How could Xiao Chen appear here unharmed?
What about Zhang Benquan? What does he do for a living?
Young Master Xiao was both shocked and furious.
Xiao Chen glanced at Xiao Qiang and Xiao Xiong's disheveled state, his face filled with coldness, and uttered a single sentence.
"Xiao Yaheng, you dare to touch my people? Are you tired of living?"
