When Mo Ming was lifted by someone, his hand had already touched the dagger at his waist, and a glint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes as the dagger was drawn.
Hiss!
A white man widened his eyes as a blood-red line gradually appeared on his white neck. In the blink of an eye, a skilled fighter's life was taken by Mo Ming's hand. The main reason was that he had been too careless, failing to guard against Mo Ming during the chaos, which allowed Mo Ming to easily eliminate him.
Beside him, Tyrant immediately aimed his gun at Mo Ming, but Mo Ming had already reacted. He reached out with one hand, quickly grasped the gun barrel, and twisted it upwards, pointing it directly at the ceiling. At the same time, the dagger in his hand sliced through the air like a shooting star.
Mo Ming's eyes were filled with a beast-like ferocity as he coldly said, "Weren't you so arrogant just now? What about now?"
Faced with Mo Ming's lightning-fast attack, Tyrant appeared somewhat flustered. The distance was too close; he didn't have enough reaction time. In his panic, he had no choice but to let go of the gun and retreat.
Mo Ming gritted his teeth against the pain in his thigh and kicked out forcefully, landing a heavy blow to Tyrant's chest that sent him flying.
"You can go die!" Following that, Mo Ming drew a handgun from his waist and fired two shots at Tyrant, hitting him in the rear and chin!
Having swiftly dealt with the two people beside him, Mo Ming rolled to the side to evade a barrage of gunfire and concealed himself. Both sides were now in a standoff; Mo Ming did not know where Lord was located.
"Shura, do you really want her dead?" Lord's voice came through, followed by Ji Yue's voice: "Mo Ming, don't worry about me. You must not die here; you still have many things to accomplish..."
Before Ji Yue could finish speaking, there was a loud slap, and then Ji Yue fell silent.
"Shura, since it has come to this point, as you said, don't underestimate a madman's methods. If you push me too hard, I guarantee you'll see her corpse first!" Lord declared.
Mo Ming discerned Lord's position; he was about seven or eight meters away with obstacles in between. This meant that even if he approached quietly, he couldn't ensure a single strike would take down Lord.
For Ji Yue's safety, he dared not act rashly. Mo Ming quickly bandaged his wound but did not respond. He knew there were enemies nearby; speaking would surely reveal his location.
If they attacked him from both sides, Mo Ming couldn't be certain he could survive surrounded by two skilled fighters. Now, all he could do was wait for his people to arrive and deal with the opponents.
Soon after, under Wu Yong's leadership, the remaining members of the Undead Celestial Executioner broke through from various directions. Each person took up a position but did not act recklessly; they only intended to control the situation.
"You have already killed the thirty-three people you stationed around, and our people have surrounded this place. If you dare to harm anyone, I can guarantee that this will be your burial ground!" Wu Yong declared.
Upon hearing Wu Yong's words, the Lord's expression changed. The thirty-three people he had stationed outside were indeed top-notch experts and exceptional marksmen. He never expected that they would be dealt with so silently, which left him feeling quite alarmed.
What the Lord did not anticipate was that by the time Wu Yong and his group arrived, all thirty-three of his men had already been killed, with not a single survivor; they had all fallen to daggers.
"Hmph, since death is inevitable, I have nothing to fear. If you have the ability, go ahead and make your move. Let's see if you can kill me faster or if I can kill her faster!" the Lord scoffed.
At this point, he had no options left. The smile of victory was supposed to belong to him, but suddenly everything had turned upside down; it truly was a case of man proposes, God disposes!
"Release her, and I will let you leave. Otherwise, there will only be one path left for you: a dead end!" Mo Ming spoke up. "You should know there are snipers here, all of whom are my people. It’s impossible for you to break through. However, I can take a step back: release Ji Yue, and I will let you leave!"
"Impossible! I can no longer trust you at all. Asura, you are too despicable to scheme against me like this!" the Lord said angrily, realizing he had failed in his plans.
"Hmph, when it comes to being despicable, I think you might be worse than me," Mo Ming retorted coldly. "Right now, you have no qualifications to negotiate with me. Do you want to remain in this stalemate forever?"
"Stalemate? Do you think that's possible?" the Lord laughed coldly. Suddenly, intense gunfire erupted inside the factory as the Lord's men emerged from their positions and opened fire on Wu Yong and his group.
Their marksmanship and hearing were exceptional; Blood Demon was caught off guard and was shot in the side, barely escaping death by a hair's breadth. Two of the Undead Celestial Executioners were shot dead instantly.
Those men continued their reckless assault with a fierce determination that showed they were willing to risk their lives!
Perhaps the Lord feared death more than these individuals did; however, these were Death Warriors who had been trained from birth under Eternity's guidance through ideological transformation and life-and-death training. For them, nothing was terrifying.
"Damn it! These bastards really dare to shoot!" Wu Yong cursed loudly and shouted, "Open fire and kill those bastards! Let's see whose firepower is stronger!"
Wu Yong and over thirty others immediately retaliated, suppressing the firepower of those Death Warriors completely. Amidst the intense gunfire, a piercing scream echoed throughout the factory.
Ah!
"Xiu Luo, tell those people not to act rashly, or else I will slice her with a knife, piece by piece, heh heh..." Lord said nervously, as he made a deep cut across Ji Yue's face with the dagger in his hand.
Lord laughed maniacally, "Tsk tsk, what a beautiful face. What a pity, what a pity, it's ruined by me. Hahaha! If you dare to act rashly again, I will make a few more cuts on her face. Then, you probably won't love her anymore, right?"
"Mo Ming, don't worry about me. You mustn't let him leave here!" Ji Yue's voice was filled with tears; she was panicking but didn't want Mo Ming to make any decisions for her.
Hearing Ji Yue's words pierced Mo Ming's heart, filling him with an urge to cry. Anger was written all over his face; he wanted nothing more than to stab Lord with the dagger in his hand until he was a mess.
A woman cares most about her appearance. Lord's actions were completely destroying a woman's life. Mo Ming found it hard to imagine that even if Ji Yue survived this ordeal, would she still be able to smile naturally?
"Lord, what do you want in order to let her go?" Mo Ming shouted angrily.
"Hmph, this is all your doing. She didn't need to be disfigured at all; it's entirely your fault. Now I can give you a chance: have your people retreat and let us leave safely!" Lord said smugly.
Mo Ming knew that even if he let Lord go, he wouldn't necessarily let Ji Yue go either. But if he didn't let them leave, Ji Yue would be in danger. His thigh was injured now, and he wasn't as agile as before; he couldn't rescue Ji Yue unexpectedly.
Just when he felt helpless, he thought of the person he had seen earlier. The moment he thought of him, hope surged within Mo Ming. He looked around but saw no one else.
"Xiu Luo, I give you three seconds to decide; in three seconds, you will determine her fate!" Lord's voice rang out again, tightening Mo Ming's nerves and making it hard for him to remain calm.
Mo Ming's mind raced.
"One." Lord began counting.
Mo Ming remained silent.
"Two." Lord continued counting.
Just as the third count was about to come out, Mo Ming had made up his mind to let Lord and his group leave safely when something unexpected happened—the third count was delayed, and Mo Ming's keen ears faintly picked up the sounds of fighting.
"It’s him!" Mo Ming seemed to understand what was happening and immediately said to Wu Yong, "Brother Yong, provide fire cover and don't let those guys go over to help!"
Wu Yong had no idea what was going on, but he quickly ordered his men to open fire, suppressing the people brought by Lord and making it difficult for them to move.
Mo Ming was not idle either; he carefully took a detour and made his way over. When he got close to one of the yellow-skinned men, that man immediately noticed Mo Ming.
Mo Ming's dagger flew out, but the yellow-skinned man tilted his head and dodged the dagger. However, he couldn't avoid the bullet from Mo Ming's gun. The bullet pierced through his skull, taking his life.
On the other side, Lord was in a tough battle; to be precise, he was being beaten badly. His opponent was a cold young man whose skills completely surpassed Lord's, pressing him down and leaving him unable to move!
"Damn it, how are you here?" Lord recognized the young man, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.
"Heh, I've been in Nanhua City for a long time. I'm very dissatisfied with your actions. You endanger the world, which I have no issue with, but if you dare to offend Huaxia, you will pay the price!" A fierce glint flashed in the young man's eyes as he swiftly threw a punch that caught Lord off guard, knocking him to the ground.
The young man stepped forward and kicked Lord in the stomach, sending him flying a considerable distance. He then quickly followed up and grabbed Lord by the throat. Lord attempted to kick him away, but the young man blocked it with his arm.
"I originally planned to wait until I lured out that bastard Eternity before making my move, but your actions have made me very angry. So this time, you can go to hell!" The young man said expressionlessly, completely ignoring the fear and desperate resistance in Lord's eyes. With a burst of strength in his arm, he crushed Lord's throat.
With Lord's strength, being killed by this young man was as easy as killing a rat. This level of power could only be described as terrifying; even if he wanted to kill Mo Ming, it would be an effortless task!
