Li Shifu had only spoken half a sentence when he completely stopped breathing. Only then did Su Ti realize his injuries were extremely severe; half of his chest cavity had collapsed. There was no way to save him; what he had just said was his final moment of clarity before death.
"Damn it!"
Su Ti clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with a fierce glare.
Li Shifu was killed, and his cousins were kidnapped right in front of him. Who were these people?
Were they Li Zong's men, or someone else entirely?
What did Li Shifu mean by "not human" before he died?
Su Ti didn't have time to think. Li Shifu was dead, and he had no reason to stay here any longer. He jumped into the driver's seat of the black sedan, started the engine, and slammed the accelerator to the floor. With a screech, the sedan shot out like an angry bull.
"I didn't expect that Tongli Stage bodyguard to actually have a gun. That was quite unexpected. These bullets really hurt like hell!"
A pale-faced man wearing a black hooded sweatshirt sat in the passenger seat of the van, muttering in a low voice. Looking closely, there were large patches of blood on his body, and the blood had soaked through the seatback and flowed onto the seat.
Visible bullet holes covered his upper body, but the man seemed oblivious as he lit a cigarette and took a deep drag. White smoke puffed out from his mouth and the bullet holes in his chest.
Seeing this scene, the short-haired man driving showed a look of disgust mixed with a hint of fear. He said,
"I was startled too. I didn't expect you to be so reckless, not even dodging and just taking the hits head-on to kill the guy."
Hearing the short-haired man's words, the hooded man revealed his pale teeth and let out a low, cold laugh.
"I won't die, so why dodge? Heh, if it weren't for that guy surnamed Su wanting to be safe, I could have done this job alone. I wouldn't have needed you at all."
"Are you saying I didn't do anything?"
As soon as he said this, the short-haired man driving showed a dangerous expression, and his hands gripping the steering wheel began to turn slightly red.
"Heh heh, I didn't mean that."
"Then what do you mean?"
The hooded man exhaled smoke and curled his lip. Although his body was special, his raw strength was still inferior to the driver. Therefore, after the driver clearly got angry, he took a step back and said with a smile,
"What I mean is, what kind of person is Lian Wei? As long as there's money, I'll take any job: killing, kidnapping, robbing, raping."
Saying this, the hooded man, Lian Wei, turned his head to look at the unconscious Su Yuwei and Su Qiaoqiao in the back seat, a look of covetousness appearing in his eyes as he licked his dry lips.
At this time, the bullet holes on his body were contracting, and the bleeding had stopped.
"But you, Wang Jiu, a disciple of the Songyang Sect, a reputable sect, actually doing this kind of dirty work for money. If your sect found out, you'd lose face big time."
"Mind your own business. I know you Corpse Puppet Sect people are hard to kill, but if you don't control that mouth of yours, I can let you taste a life worse than death."
Lian Wei snorted coldly after hearing this, somewhat disdainful, but he didn't say anything more.
Wang Jiu continued driving, his gaze somewhat complex. The difference in their identities was indeed significant.
The Songyang Sect was a reputable sect in Nanfeng Province, vastly different from the Corpse Puppet Sect, which was an evil and bizarre sect that did all sorts of wicked things for money.
This was the first time Wang Jiu, a disciple of a reputable sect, had collaborated with a Corpse Puppet Sect disciple to do this kind of dirty work like kidnapping and abduction. If this got out, he would indeed have no place in the righteous path, and might even be expelled from his sect and have his martial arts revoked.
But who told him, Wang Jiu, to be naturally fond of gambling and to have accumulated a huge debt? He was truly at his wit's end.
The amount of debt was too large; even an Inner Refinement Stage martial artist who didn't do this kind of dirty work would be unable to repay it.
Thinking of this, Wang Jiu picked up his phone and made a call.
Beep, beep.
The call was quickly connected.
"Hello."
A middle-aged man's voice came from the other end.
"President Su, the matter you asked us to handle is done. Su Zihao's two daughters are now in our hands. You can go and make your demands to Su Zihao."
Wang Jiu said in a deep voice into the phone.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man's excited voice immediately came from the other end of the phone.
"Good, good, good! Heaven has eyes, heaven has eyes! Su Zihao, Su Zihao, you took so many things from me over the years, and now you've finally fallen into my hands!"
Hearing the man's excited voice, Wang Jiu, who was driving, reminded him abruptly.
"President Su, don't forget what you promised us. No matter how much you extort from Su Zihao, half of it has to go to us."
As soon as he said this, President Su on the other end of the phone snorted coldly.
"Don't worry, you won't get less. What Su Zihao took from me over the years is enough for the two of you to live comfortably for the rest of your lives."
"But you two remember this: I still have use for Su Zihao's two daughters right now. Don't you dare kill them. If anything happens to either of them, you won't get a single cent of this money!"
These words were not directed at Wang Jiu, but at Lian Wei.
Lian Wei was born into the Corpse Puppet Sect, an evil sect that practiced killing for cultivation and was not tolerated by the secular world. He himself was naturally cruel and bloodthirsty. Nine out of ten hostages who fell into his hands were played to death, and he had a severe cannibalistic tendency, enjoying eating living people raw. The name "Human Demon Lian Wei" was particularly famous even in the dark world.
President Su specifically asked Wang Jiu, an Inner Refinement martial artist from the Songyang Sect, to do this together. One reason was for extra security, and the other was to have him keep Lian Wei in check and prevent him from causing trouble again.
"Yes, I will watch him."
"That's good."
After saying that, President Su hung up the phone, his heart filled with excitement. He couldn't wait to report this good news to Su Zihao.
The phone call had just ended when Lian Wei, sitting in the passenger seat, chuckled, unbuckled his seatbelt, and climbed into the back seat.
"What are you doing?"
Wang Jiu, who was driving, frowned.
"What am I doing? Of course, I'm doing it. Aren't you tempted by these two beautiful women, as sweet as honey?"
Lian Wei chuckled lewdly. It was true that he liked to eat human flesh, but he was also a man and had those kinds of needs.
Hearing this, Wang Jiu breathed a slight sigh of relief. As long as no one was killed, it was fine. However, he still felt disgusted by the other party's actions and cursed.
"Scum."
Hearing this, Lian Wei snorted coldly and said.
"Scum? If I hadn't lost so much blood and couldn't get it up for half a day, I would have already done it. I just can't stand the behavior of you so-called righteous sects. You're all dirtier than the next in private, yet you laugh at us evil sects."
Lian Wei said as he climbed into the back seat and began to unbuckle his belt.
Hearing this, a hint of shame and anger appeared on Wang Jiu's face, but then he saw the soft faces and fair skin of the two women in the rearview mirror, and he couldn't help but swallow.
"Wait."
The sudden interruption made Lian Wei stop his movements and turn his head to ask.
"What?"
After a long silence, Wang Jiu still said.
"Leave one for me."
Lian Wei laughed heartily when he heard this.
"That's more like it."
Just as Lian Wei was about to make his move, a breakthrough. A bright white high beam light shone directly through the back window of the van and hit Lian Wei's face.
Lian Wei, whose eyes were blinded by the white light, shielded his face with his hand.
"Damn it, which little bastard?"
Wang Jiu, however, saw clearly through the rearview mirror that it was a black sedan with a slightly damaged hood.
"That car is the one Su Zihao's two daughters were in before. Someone is chasing us!"
Previously, because Su Ti was still some distance away from the two of them, and it was nighttime, although they had been chasing at full speed, the two of them had not noticed Su Ti.
Now that someone was chasing them, it greatly exceeded Wang Jiu's expectations. Could it be that Su Zihao had bodyguards in secret?
Lian Wei, however, was not afraid. He had done countless black jobs like kidnapping and murder and was extremely calm when encountering such things.
He pulled up his pants and showed a fierce expression.
"Hmph, so what if they catch up? In this desolate place, we'll just finish him off."
Wang Jiu nodded slightly, also agreeing with Lian Wei's idea. No matter who the person was, what they had done absolutely could not be exposed.
The two of them had already planned their escape route after the kidnapping. The car had been driving towards the suburbs all along, and after driving for so long, they had already reached the outskirts.
There was no one around, not even a camera. Wang Jiu deliberately slowed down and slowly parked the car by the side of the road.
Su Zihao's two daughters were still in the car, and the car behind them didn't dare to really crash into them. After Wang Jiu slowed down and parked, it just stopped not far behind them with its headlights on.
Bang!
The passenger door of the van opened, and Lian Wei got out. He had already vaguely seen that there was only one person in the other car when he was in the van. At this moment, he instructed Wang Jiu.
"Don't make a move yet. This guy dared to ruin my good deed. I'm going to make him regret being born by his mother!"
Because the black sedan had its high beams on at this time, the person who got out of the car was illuminated in pitch black. He couldn't see the appearance of the person opposite him, only vaguely saw that it was a young man.
Looking at the black figure getting out of the black sedan, Lian Wei twisted his left fist with his right hand, making a cracking sound of bones rubbing, and walked over with a sinister smile.
"Little bastard, I'm going to break your limbs and stuff your head into your ass..."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw the figure suddenly kick out. This kick was like a cannonball that hit Lian Wei's abdomen!
Boom!
Lian Wei's limbs stretched forward, his eyes bulged, and he flew backward!
He slammed heavily onto the back of the van, and with a loud bang, he actually dented the back of the van!
Seeing this terrifying scene, Wang Jiu, who was sitting in the driver's seat, changed his expression.
"Inner Refinement Stage martial artist?!"
They had investigated Su Zihao for a long time for this business and knew that he only had one Tongli Stage driver under him, but they had no idea about an Inner Refinement Stage martial artist.
"So what if he's an Inner Refinement Stage martial artist?!"
A furious voice sounded.
Crack, crack.
Lian Wei's body was embedded in the back of the van, with a sunken shoe print in the middle of his abdomen, but the next moment he made a cracking sound of joints, and his whole body's strength exploded, actually pulling himself out of the deformed back of the van.
After getting down, his abdomen swelled up, changing from sunken to flat. His upper body was bleeding profusely, but he could move freely.
Su Ti's full-force kick just now, aside from causing some cracks in the bullet holes on his body, didn't seem to injure him much!
Seeing this scene, Su Ti's eyes narrowed. That kick just now felt like he had kicked a tough piece of bark, and his strength was greatly reduced.
Sensing the other party's surprise, Lian Wei sneered.
"Heh heh, kid, scared now? This is my Corpse Puppet Sect's Corpse Body Skill. You think you can break my..."
Boom!
Before Lian Wei could finish speaking, a large hand, thick as a giant python and flushed black, suddenly grabbed towards him. The terrifying aura made Lian Wei's expression change.
He raised his arms to block the grab, but who knew that the giant arm instantly changed from a grab to a chop in mid-air, and a hand-blade fiercely struck Lian Wei's neck.
Boom!
Lian Wei's neck was directly chopped into a concave deformation. His whole body was like being hit by a car, his legs left the ground, and he spun wildly and flew out horizontally in mid-air.
Lian Wei flew out five or six meters, his eyes bulging, his neck twisted, and he fell heavily to the ground. At this time, Wang Jiu had just gotten out of the car.
Seeing this scene, his face, which had not yet calmed down, changed drastically again.
"Great Accomplishment of Inner Refinement?!"
The strength, speed, and reaction to changing moves on the spot just now were definitely not something that only Inner Refinement Stage could achieve!
Two possibilities: The first is that this person has reached the Great Accomplishment of Inner Refinement, reaching the fifth or even sixth level of Inner Refinement.
The second possibility... this person is in the Inner Refinement Stage, but his fighting style is at the Inner Refinement Stage or even infinitely close to Great Accomplishment, which is why he could send Lian Wei, who was at the third level of Inner Refinement, flying with one palm.
Su Ti did not answer Wang Jiu's question, but spoke coldly.
"I will only ask the next question once: Who sent you?"
Having killed Lian Wei with one palm, Su Ti's voice was extremely cold, carrying a strong sense of oppression. As he spoke, he stepped towards Wang Jiu.
In fact, he was already sure that the other party was not Li Zong's person. If they were Li Zong's people, it would be impossible for them not to even recognize him.
Wang Jiu was also an Ancient Martial Arts practitioner. His skill was even higher than Lian Wei's, possessing a full four levels of Inner Refinement cultivation! Naturally, he would not be intimidated by the other party like this.
Seeing that Su Ti didn't put him in his eyes at all, he felt a little annoyed in addition to being nervous, but his face remained calm, and he slowly retreated step by step.
While retreating, one hand was behind his back, and his palm turned red at an extremely fast speed.
Only when it was so red that it seemed to be dripping blood did he take a step, and with a bang, the concrete ground exploded with a circle of dust, leaving two footprints that had crushed the ground. Then, Wang Jiu leaped high, like a cannonball fired from a barrel, smashing towards Su Ti.
He fiercely slammed his blood-red right palm towards Su Ti, letting out a roar!
"Want to know?! Go ask the King of Hell!"
