Run!
If they’re to stay, they would just be stomped to death by the Bai family’s reinforcements. If they chose to flee, they might still have a chance to survive. Plus, with this light ray detector esper blocking them, they have no chance of escaping together and have to resort to scattering everywhere.
“Scatter and flee. Leave by yourself, and let’s meet again in the Tian family.”
Tian Zi gave his command with a bitter smile. Everyone sighed. Never would they thought that their mission had actually reached such a point, they had failed! A single error in the data they gathered had caused them to waste all their effort. If they knew that the Bai family placed such importance on Bai Lingfeng, they would have included an esper with a unique talent to disguise the stress signal.
Such a shame…
One wrong step, and everything is ruined. An error in the news had made their entire mission meaningless. Even though they killed Bai Lingfeng, the mission still ended as a failure.
One of Team A’s members with a defensive talent made his move.
A horrifying light ray cut off Team A from the Bai family, blocking the Bai family at another level like a solid barrier. Several members of Team A instilled energy into the barrier to block the Bai family’s incoming attack. All they needed was only a few seconds.
“Get ready to deactivate the defense and leave immediately!”
“Flee!” Tian Zi ordered and was about to leave.
“We can’t go!” Su Hao’s eyes turned red.
“What happened?” Team A, which was about to leave, was stunned.
“If we’re to leave like this, our chance to survive is too small. Who can guarantee a smooth departure from Ling City? Not only would our mission fail, we might even be hunted down. We can’t proceed like this. There is another way. Not only that it would ensure our smooth escape, but also complete the mission. We have gone all the way till this stage, and I don’t wish to give up.” Su Hao voiced out.
“What method?”
Everyone was excited. There is actually still a way when the situation had turned out like this?
“Directly detonate Ling City’s state-building. Not only would that complete our mission and attracting attention from everyone, but it also intercepts everyone from the Bai family, and you guys can escape smoothly!” Su Hao calmly said.
“Impossible.”
Team A bitterly smiled, “The remaining members from the Bai family, although they’re not that strong, they will never let an explosive be detonated here.”
“Thus, we need someone to remain here alone.” Su Hao calmly said.
Everyone was shocked.
They looked at Su Hao ferociously and then recalled what Su Hao mentioned earlier. They then realized that Su Hao said, it’s someone and not everyone!
“Could it be that you…”
Everyone’s eyes widened.
“This is the best way.” Su Hao was very calm. At this moment, even Tian Zi was shocked. This Lin Hu whom he always hated, at such a crucial moment was actually this grand? Even someone like Tian Zi, who always hated him, he’s willing to save him too? Such justice was so stunning that Tian Zi, who had always been hostile to Su Hao, felt his heart skip a beat.
This…
Such a person really exists?
“No!”
Everyone in Team A decisively rejected, “We can’t let you sacrifice yourself in exchange for our lives.”
“It’s not a sacrifice.” Su Hao looked at them, “Stop wasting time. You all are clear of my talent. I should be able to escape with one last breath. After you all leave, declare war against the Bai family immediately. Perhaps I might be able to escape with my life intact. For me, the probability of me surviving is higher than being hunted down by the Bai family.”
Everyone was shocked.
Then they remembered that Lin Hu only had the strength of the absolute domain realm. If he’s to flee and face those from the Bai family, the one who is to face most danger would be him.
“Thus, this is the best for everyone.”
Su Hao took a deep breath and took out a small detonator which they had prepared from the start. Looking at the team, he said in a serious tone, “Quick, leave now!”
“You need to come back alive!”
Everyone from Team A gave Su Hao a serious look and then gritted their teeth, shouting.
“Retreat!”
Everyone from Team retreated decisively, and then the barrier between the two sides was instantly destroyed. Su Hao still stood in the middle, and he looked very solemn. The Nitai artifacts of Team A shone brightly as they were activated. Their speed increased sharply, and they escaped quickly from the back of the building. Meanwhile, the side where Su Hao was facing…
Everyone from the Bai family rushed over here. Not to mention, in front of Su Hao, there was still the esper with light ray detection and the other remaining members.
“Where are you all going?!”
The reinforcements from the Bai family saw Team A leaving when they arrived. They ignored Su Hao and planned to charge forward. Su Hao’s body flickered, and he forcefully used his body to stop them here.
“Pftt~”
Blood dyed the air.
Su Hao’s blood scattered into the surroundings. Under the illumination of energy, he looked very miserable. Those from the Bai family snorted, and continued charging forward. Su Hao stood by the window of this floor. Now, his current body couldn’t afford to stop anyone for even one second.
However…
It’s no longer important.
It’s already sufficient.
Su Hao looked back. Team A already left quite far away. Su Hao seemed to be able to notice their red eyes. With a firm finger, he pressed on the button of the detonator.
Di~
Di, di~
Dididi~
Didididi~
This sharp sound rang many times in a second.
Those who just passed by Su Hao to chase Team A suddenly turned back and looked at Su Hao in disbelief. Their face instantly changed.
“Quickly, evade!”
Boom!
Endless energy fluctuation spread.
The entire Ling City’s state-building shook with endless flames emerging, shattering the building. The entire building experienced countless blasts, causing the whole city to quake. Ling City’s state-building trembled for over ten seconds before eventually collapsing.
Far away, Team A looked at the Ling City’s state-building at a loss.
It’s finally over…
Their mission was completed!
Bai Lingfeng was dead. Ling City’s state-building was destroyed, and their mission was completed perfectly. But why didn’t their heart feel great about this? Everyone looked at each other. Even Tian Zi was silent.
After quite some time, Tian Zi spoke.
“Let’s go back.”
“If Lin Hu is right, he still has the chance to survive. We must grasp this little line of him surviving and declare war against the Bai family. After we destroy the Bai family, we will immediately come here and save him.”
“Alright.”
Everyone gritted their teeth.
“Hurry up. The Bai family suffered such a great loss. Their world espers would probably make a move soon.”
Team A left quickly.
Just as expected, soon after they left, one could hear a terrifying roar originating from Ling City. Too bad, that esper had arrived too late! When he reached here, Team A had returned and successfully completed their mission, notifying the Tian family.
*****
Tian family.
When Tian Gang and the others received the news of the mission completion and the process during the mission, they were stunned. That man named Lin Hu died again? Plus, not only did he die, he did it in order to complete the mission and save his other teammates? What kind of loyalty does this man have?
“This…”
“Even if he has a unique talent, he shouldn’t be playing with his life like that, right?”
Everyone was a little speechless.
Previously, Lin Hu explained about his unique talent, but they were well aware that any ordinary man won’t play with his life like this. Even the elders dare not say that they are willing to make such a sacrifice for the Tian family, but this Lin Hu did! He did it! He used his life to complete the mission and save his teammates not once, but twice!
This is the Clan Head they want!
Compared to Lin Hu, Tian Zi’s actions were nothing. Sadly, such a person died.
“Immediately declare war against the Bai family!” Tian Gang gave his order.
“This, if we’re to wait a day for news of the Bai family’s Clan Head death to spread to its fullest, we will be able to maximize the effect when we attack.” An elder cautiously suggested.
“Humph!”
Tian Gang snorted coldly, “No need, as long as Bai Lingfeng is dead and the state-building destroyed, it’s more than enough! Declare war against the Bai family now and start a full scale war. Also, after the war begins, send a few people to Ling City’s state-building to find Lin Hu. If he’s alive, I want him back safely. If he’s dead, I want to see his corpse.”
“Yes.”
The elders shuddered.
That day, the Tian family declared war against the Bai family!
A full-scale war between these two families arrived earlier than predicted!
The Tian family came out in full strength and rushed toward the Bai family. The Zhang family intercepted those who attempted to attack the Tian family at this moment.
With no worry, the Tian family swept the entire Bai family!
The Bai family’s Clan Head died.
The destruction of the Ling City’s state-building actually caused the Bai family to fall into turmoil. After the declaration of war by the Tian family, there were rumors that some fled with their assets that day, turning the whole family chaotic. This isn’t a joke. You guys can’t even protect your Clan Head, and we expect you to protect us?
The Bai family became disordered.
Although the Bai family is one of the top ten families, what made them terrifying is their influence in the business world. In terms of combat, their strength was almost at the bottom. Facing another of the top ten families, the current Tian family, who had boosted its strength, coupled with the current pinch, they were in total disadvantage, and there was literally no suspense.
Three days!
In just three days!
The Bai family lost the war completely!
Before the war began, a part of their force had fled. During the battle, when they saw the enemy, yet more fled. Only three days after the war started, everyone from the Bai family withdrew back to their headquarters and dared not come out. The Tian family had occupied all of the Bai family’s territory, and what remained for the Bai family is their headquarters.
Even so, the Tian family didn’t have any intention of letting the Bai family go.
On the fourth day, the Tian family initiated the final attack against the Bai family’s headquarters. Countless people of the Tian family encircled their headquarters, waiting for the final confrontation.
Everyone could see that the Bai family is finished.
From the moment Ling City’s state-building collapsed, the Bai family was destined to be wiped out. As for the Bai family’s unity, it was so weak that it became a joke to the public. Have you seen anyone who surrenders before the fight begins? Have you seen anyone gather their money and flee when the enemy declares war? And such people, the Bai family did have!
And the most unbelievable thing was the world espers!
From the moment when the world espers from the Bai family revealed themselves, they only knew that the Bai family only has two world espers! Yes, only two! After over a decade of baptism, those world espers they had at first were mostly dead. Only one new esper managed to step into the world realm. What a weak family.
Two people.
One is already so old that no teeth remain, and the other is a young man who just stepped into the world realm. When both saw the six world espers from the Tian family, they didn’t even retaliate and were so scared that they fled. This isn’t a joke, both of them are such weak world espers, plus their number is at a disadvantage. They would only send themselves to death if they insist on fighting.
Thus…
Unexpectedly, a war ended just like that.
