Chapter 1260 - A Decisive Resolution
"I don't have time to care about those people. The Defence Minister is my priority." Ryuli said while she slammed her umbrella with twice the amount of chi she had dispensed previously. It was pretty obvious that she could go all out now that Kong Rong was protecting the hostages and slowly leading them out of the bunker with the exception of He Fei who was immobile due to the legendary defensive technique.
"Ah…such meaningless vengeance." Kong Rong knew that her words were not what they meant. When both Ryuli and he were rushing to the said bunker, they could already sense the guard's lives being extinguished based on their chi output. Ryuli knew that those guards were double crossed by their own 'people' and they definitely had no time to even think or ask why.
She felt for them as she had been in their shoes before. One might think it was her first master's incident but it was more than that as the Dragon girl had her fair share of betrayal and double crossing before becoming a veteran State Security agent. And thus, Kong Rong could only let his fellow agent unleash her unbridled fury against Shang Xia. And seeing how Ryuli was using more than her usual amount of chi to confront her enemy, also meant that the opponent she was dealing with could not be given any quarters to even breathe.
"Not one but two dragon forces. This Banned Emperor Terrorist isn't going to survive for me to speak to her," Kong Rong said to himself when he kept an eye on the fight while telling the hostages to move in the direction of his chi. However, the reason for Ryuli using two dragon silhouettes instead of just one was because of Shang Xia's ability to divert chi energy away. The mastermind of this entire incident seemed to be able to move the tremendous force of the dragon silhouette with a swing of her daggers but in reality, she was focusing as much as she could to divert the attacks away. The second dragon silhouette which was painted in ocean blue, tailed behind the first fiery orange dragon silhouette before moving in a slightly different direction so that it could flank Shang Xia.
The manipulation of the chi force was so well executed that it felt like the dragon silhouette was alive and burning. Shang Xia tried to prepare herself for the flank attack but she did not expect that Ryuli could command such a magnitude of chi even with the initial attack. It was as if she was not just holding back herself during the toilet squabble but merely testing the water.
In fact, Shang Xia deduced that Ryuli could even rival not one but three of the inner council members if they went toe to toe against each other. Thus, the Banned Emperor Terrorist only had two options. It was to either eat the attack and see if there was a window of opportunity for her to perform a counterattack or evade the attack. However, that would also mean the dragon she was evading would come and bite her back in the arse if she did not evade properly considering how skilled Ryuli was in controlling the dragon silhouettes at the back of her palm.
But even though she could make such a decision, a bullet flew right towards her causing her to lose her concentration and she instinctively deflected with her offhand dagger, forcing Shang Xia to eventually take damage from both dragon silhouettes. Her death was almost instantaneous ..almost. If it was some average cultivator, they would have been scorched the moment those silhouettes touched them. Unfortunately, Shang Xia was a high level cultivator and as the dragon silhouettes devoured her body, she could feel the immense pain of being burnt in the lowest level of hell while drowning in the pressurising ocean deep.
Even though it was a short few seconds that she experienced the pain, it was still out of this world and her body turned into black icy soot with the relic left intact.
"That was rather underwhelming." Kong Rong said and Ryuli glared at him.
"I still have some pent up anger in me, where should I direct it to?" Ryuli said as the two Dragon Sillhouettes hover right behind her. She knew that the bullet was from Kong Rong and she was greatly unsatisfied that her target was burned/froze to smithereens with not much resistance.
"We have a job to do." Kong Rong said as he walked towards He Fei while snapping his finger to unleash a sonar location technique to check if any of the Banned Emperor Terrorists were alive. Just because they were killed does not mean they did not have any hidden resurrection abilities. In addition to that technique, there was chi telekinesis in the background picking up all the Dan Tian that had been left from the incident from both the dead guards and the terrorists.
"Welp, that was quite a close shave." He Fei said while Kong Rong instantly deactivated the shield around him.
"Yea yea, even if we are not here. You could easily handle the rest." Kong Rong said but Ryuli sulked instead. He Fei saw the reaction and he sighed.
"Sis, you know I have to keep this quiet. The fewer people who know about this, the more successful the plan will be." He Fei said as he started scratching his neck until his skin started to break apart. Slowly, but surely, he pulled the skin upwards and it was revealed to be a cosmetic inscription that only Jin's store had sold exclusively.
"Well, at least give me a better lie next time rather than using your wife as an excuse." Ryuli's sulk slowly turned into a hesitant smile.
"You know, it's all just part of the game that Kong Rong put up." Ran Ran, the bodyguard for the Defence Minister, opened his arms up and Ryuli went in for her friend's hug. " And I am not kidding you, Kong Rong better send me a car as soon as possible or else I would not be able to reach in time for my wife's labour."
"Oh, I have a driver for you ready for you." Kong Rong's eyes averted towards the direction of Ryuli and her hesitant smile became one of the devils.
"Boss! You set me up for this!" Ran Ran shook his head as his appearance returned to normal instead of the 'pot belly' that he was carrying.
"Last I checked, I still beat you in the advanced defensive driving race course." Ryuli finally could burn some steam off as Kong Rong gave Ryuli a bunch of keys which somehow turned the soul of her eyes into a moment of pure bliss.
"What?! Ryuli's riding?!" Ran Ran suddenly felt his legs turning jelly.
"Hey. I got to be fair to everyone in my team." Kong Rong said as he reminded Ran Ran that his wife was still waiting for him. "Besides, you need to be there as soon as possible right?"
"Well, you better hurry then. Boss will clean up the mess here. Your wife is more important than this shithole of a show." Ryuli said as she took out a helmet from her storage ring and tossed it to Ran Ran.
"Shithole of a show indeed." Kong Rong said as he picked up the relic that was still intact despite the destruction Ryuli had performed. It was now powered up not from just the blood sacrifices in this room but from Ryuli's powers too. "But even in piles of shit, one might still be able to find treasure if they look hard enough.." Kong Rong smiled as he knew that this powered relic might come in handy in the near future.
