Chapter 413 413 The security needs to be strengthened!
The man in the darkness had been waiting for the perfect moment to launch a sneak attack. Now, he had his chance. Just as Yang Qi was about to finish off Chuyun Baijing, he made his move. A black shuriken shot toward Yang Qi's throat, intending to kill him in one fell swoop.
However, he had still underestimated Yang Qi. Despite the suddenness of the attack, Yang Qi reacted in time.
"Alchemy Shield!"
His left hand glowed with a golden light, and a shield materialized, blocking the sneak attack.
This attack is strong. The Stone Armor Technique probably couldn't have withstood it. That's why Yang Qi had reacted this way.
CRACK!
The Alchemy Shield shattered, but the shuriken lost its momentum and clattered to the floor.
"A true master!" Yang Qi looked toward the corner. The man had not only hidden himself well but had also suppressed his breathing almost completely, which was why Yang Qi hadn't noticed him upon entering.
"Fei Duan!" Chuyun Baijing's face lit up with joy, but his brow furrowed a second later. Fei Duan's ambush had failed. Now they were in trouble.
Fei Duan emerged from the shadows. Dressed in special clothing that blended into the darkness, he was practically invisible. That's some high-tech gear.
"Let's join forces!" Chuyun Baijing struggled to his feet. Despite his severe injuries, he knew he had to team up with Fei Duan; otherwise, Fei Duan alone might not be a match for this young man.
"You dare kill someone from our Chuyun Family? You will pay with your blood!" Chuyun Baijing's face twisted into a ferocious snarl.
Yang Qi ignored him, his gaze fixed on the man called Fei Duan. He was completely enveloped in black clothing; even his eyes would be covered if he closed them.
"Kill!"
Fei Duan and Chuyun Baijing moved at the same time. They had to work together, as they both knew how formidable Yang Qi was. Fei Duan became a blur, lunging like a cheetah. Though badly injured, Chuyun Baijing still mustered all his strength for one more slash, hoping to assist his ally.
Yang Qi sneered. With a light step, as if carried by the wind, he appeared directly in front of Chuyun Baijing.
"Die!" a cold voice commanded.
Yang Qi's Black Sword was already unsheathed, piercing straight through Chuyun Baijing's throat.
The next moment, Fei Duan arrived. The kunai in his hand stabbed toward the back of Yang Qi's heart. But just then, Fei Duan realized something had grabbed him. He glanced back and saw a vine. But this was a clubhouse. The floor was concrete, covered with wooden floorboards. How could there be a vine here? An absurd feeling washed over him.
He struggled free from the vine, only to find himself locked in an ice-cold gaze.
"I smell blood on you," a cold voice said. "You've killed quite a few martial artists from Dragon Country, haven't you?"
Fei Duan's heart trembled violently. He didn't answer, instead retreating rapidly. Indeed, he had killed many martial artists from Dragon Country. He had acted more than once for the great cause of the Hanfang Association, but he had never faced a situation as difficult as this. The young man before him filled him with intense fear.
He retreated quickly, but the youth pursued even faster. The black longsword in his hand was like the Grim Reaper's scythe, radiating an immense sense of pressure.
He's too strong. I'm no match for him. I have to escape!
He backed toward the entrance, but a sudden chill washed over him, making his movements stiff. Then, the vines appeared again, seizing him once more. The coldness robbed him of his agility. Intense fear gripped his heart.
I'm done for!
The next moment, the Black Sword pierced his throat. He couldn't understand how a small place like Kang City could harbor such a terrifying opponent. With his abilities, he could have established a foothold even in Thunder City.
Why is this happening?
SPURT!
He coughed up a mouthful of blood as his vision began to blur. I regret this. Why did I come to this godforsaken place? Why did I get involved in this? In the end, I've thrown my life away here.
Chuyun Baijing was dead. Fei Duan was dead.
Yang Qi turned to He Honglang, who was cowering in the corner, and walked toward him.
He Honglang had completely lost his mind, unable to process what he had witnessed. Everyone around him was dead. He was the only one left. As an ordinary person, his tolerance for such a scene was limited. He couldn't accept this outcome.
What kind of monster is this man, this man named Yang Qi? He was terrified. He didn't want to die.
Looking at Yang Qi, he suddenly dropped to his knees and screamed in terror, "Mr. Yang, Mr. Yang! I was wrong, I was truly wrong! It was all Chen Mo! He tempted me with money. I was too greedy, and I fell for their tricks. I promise, I'll turn over a new leaf when I get back to the Qifei Group. I'll work hard! I don't want money, I don't want a salary, I'll work for you for free!"
"You think you can return to the Qifei Group? Do you really think that's possible?" Yang Qi shook his head. This man had some nerve.
"I know I'm not worthy of returning to the Qifei Group, but I can be your dog! I can be a dog for the Qifei Group." At this point, He Honglang had cast aside what little dignity he had. It wasn't like he had much to begin with, so why care now?
"Be my dog?" Yang Qi laughed. "Even if I were looking for a dog, I wouldn't want one like you. I'd be afraid you'd sell me out one day. You stole company secrets. You betrayed the company! You betrayed the country! You even nearly got someone killed! He's still in the ICU and hasn't woken up yet. A person like you doesn't even deserve to be a dog! If you hadn't betrayed us, if you had just worked honestly like Jiang Yue and the others, you could have become one of the top medical experts in the country in a few years. But you chose a foolish path, and that has doomed you to have no future."
"I...!" He Honglang was consumed by regret, but it was too late.
Soon, the Heavenly Supervision Hall arrived, with Lin Weidong personally leading the team.
"Take this man away. Let him rot in prison," Yang Qi instructed. "I want him to witness the rise of the Qifei Group with his own eyes. I want him to see Jiang Yue and the others achieve success." He then added, looking at Lin Weidong, "By the way, deal with these people from Kappa Country quietly. There's no need to make a fuss."
"Understood!" Lin Weidong nodded. Others might not have known, but he was fully aware that this young man had single-handedly annihilated the Thunder Sect, protecting all of Kang City. A person like that was the pride of the city... and his idol.
Yang Qi retrieved the USB drive from Chuyun Baijing's body. It contained the Qifei Group's secrets, which they hadn't had time to transmit. They never imagined Yang Qi would arrive so quickly.
Yang Qi returned to the company. Li Qingyan and the others had already been brought back safely by Iron Heart and Iron Bone.
"It's all over," Yang Qi said, handing over the drive. "Keep this safe." He frowned. Looks like we need to strengthen the company's security.
