Invasion

Chapter 47: 47. Invasion

Having scouted the location beforehand, Xiao Cha pulled Lu Li straight towards the back alley of the Wang Family residence, a courtyard wall leaning against a drainage ditch.

This dingy place was already deserted, and with everyone drawn away by the Governor's daughter, there wasn't a soul in sight.

Xiao Cha wrapped her arms around Lu Li's waist, her slender, jade-like legs exerting force. With a whoosh, she leaped over the three-meter-high courtyard wall!

Upon landing, Xiao Cha absorbed the full impact, leaving Lu Li feeling almost nothing.

The two easily entered the Wang Family mansion, and no one could have imagined that someone would dare to commit wrongdoing on this day.

The Wang Family residence was currently teeming with experts. The Wang uncles handling the funeral arrangements, as well as the guests who came to pay their respects, were no ordinary individuals.

Even if there were enemies, they wouldn't dare to court disaster at this time.

But they were aiming for the element of surprise, and these two audacious individuals had seized the opportunity!

The place they were currently in was the servants' quarters. Xiao Cha, familiar with the layout, said:

"To the study. The coffin is placed there, and there's a cultivation technique among the burial objects. Only Wang Siqi is keeping vigil."

Lu Li nodded and unstrapped the Children's Rifle, a Continuous Spray, from his leg.

Just then, the door of a room not far away suddenly opened. The previously sharp-tongued butler walked out.

He was holding a large tin syringe and was instantly astonished upon seeing the two. He then opened his mouth to shout!

Before he could even finish opening his mouth, Xiao Cha's hand flashed at her waist, and a silver glint shot out, striking the butler's head!

It was the Nine-Section Whip. With a "bang," it exploded the butler's head, turning it into a pulp like a rotten watermelon.

Lu Li praised, "Amazing! Its power is no less than a shotgun!"

Xiao Cha said proudly, "This move is called [Soaring Dragon Startles], it's a technique from the White Dragon Whip. I'll teach you when you've completed Bone Forging~"

As they spoke, the two picked up their firearms.

While attaching the silencers, Lu Li noticed that after the butler's syringe fell to the ground, a lot of shiny silver liquid had spilled out...

"This is... mercury?"

"It's used to create Spirit Children. Mercury is injected into young children while they are still alive, and they are then buried in the mausoleum as grave goods..."

After death, blood circulation stops, so mercury must be injected while the person is alive to ensure it spreads throughout the body for preservation.

Such a malicious act left both of them with grim expressions.

Just then, a deafening blast of suona music suddenly erupted.

The sheer volume of the instrument was incredible; even from this distance, it made their heads buzz.

With other instruments playing as well, as long as the houses weren't being demolished, the front courtyard couldn't hear anything happening here.

"Let's begin!"

The two said in unison, simultaneously pulling back the bolts of their guns.

After exchanging a smile, they charged forward together, guns raised!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To create six Spirit Children, a large amount of mercury was required.

Since mercury is volatile and toxic, it was stored separately and drawn into syringes when needed.

Not long after Lu Li and Xiao Cha walked out, they encountered a young servant approaching, carrying four large tin syringes.

Xiao Cha, holding her shotgun, pulled the trigger without hesitation!

With a muffled "thump," the syringes in the servant's arms burst open. A large bloody hole appeared in his chest, and he fell to the ground, covered in mercury and blood.

Although a silencer was attached, there was still some noise. Two servants heard the commotion and came to investigate.

Lu Li fired his gun twice, "thump, thump," and countless steel pellets sent the two servants exploding into a bloody mess as they were flung backward.

Meanwhile, in an "ear room" not far from the study, Qin Chuan was staring at a few guards and servants.

"Why hasn't the butler returned yet?"

Qin Chuan was somewhat anxious.

Although there were six children beside him, along with several tubes of mercury.

However, "giving injections" was a skilled task, and only the butler had the experience. The others dared not act rashly.

Suddenly, Qin Chuan's ears twitched, and he heard some strange noises outside.

A guard, a Martial Master, also heard it and frowned as he went to investigate.

But as soon as he reached the doorway, he heard a muffled "thump," and a large hole appeared in the wooden door!

The Martial Master's abdomen was instantly a bloody mess, and he collapsed to the ground, spewing blood.

"Firearms!?"

The scene before them was clearly the result of a firearm piercing through the door. The people inside were instantly thrown into a panic!

Qin Chuan suddenly stood up, kicked a servant towards the doorway, and then leaped out the window himself.

The pitiful servant only had time to let out half a scream before being torn to shreds by the second shotgun blast that pierced through the door.

Lu Li leaped into the courtyard and saw the two attackers. He immediately cried out, "How dare you! Prepare to die!"

As he spoke, he darted towards the courtyard wall like a large cat, clearly intending to escape and call for help.

After all, he was a constable and possessed the cultivation of Organ Refining. His movement speed was so swift that even an ordinary person with a gun would have difficulty aiming at him!

However, under the influence of the Alpha Brainwave, Lu Li's reaction speed reached an astonishing 50 milliseconds. He didn't even need to enter "Bullet Time" to lock onto his target.

Xiao Cha, with her tiger-like reflexes, also turned her gun towards him.

The next second, two Benelli M4s roared to life!

The muffled thuds of "dong, dong, dong" sounded continuously as clusters of steel pellets, burning hot, whistled through the air!

"What kind of firearm is this!"

Facing the terrifying firepower of the Continuous Spray, Qin Chuan's soul nearly left his body. He desperately used his lifelong skills, darting back and forth in a zigzag pattern, his body blurring into afterimages.

But human strength has its limits. Within the optimal combat range of the Continuous Spray, it was impossible for him to escape their grasp.

Qin Chuan had only run five steps, still a considerable distance from the wall, when he was hit in multiple places all over his body.

While warriors of Organ Refining have bodies as strong as tigers, they are still flesh and blood.

Qin Chuan's body was mercilessly torn apart by the steel pellets, leaving him a bloody mess. Blood gushed out like a small fountain, instantly turning him into a bloodied figure.

His physical functions plummeted. He rolled onto the ground, his eyes filled with terror, and was about to open his mouth to beg for mercy...

But Lu Li and Xiao Cha had already aimed at him simultaneously.

Lu Li deliberately held back for a moment, allowing Xiao Cha to shoot and blow off the man's head, ending their old grudge.

Xiao Cha nodded in thanks. Then, the two entered the house together and, at first glance, saw the six children.

Their hands and feet were bound, and they wore hoods. Xiao Cha quickly went to check on them.

Meanwhile, Lu Li inspected the room, ensuring the environment was safe.

His eyes immediately fell on a pair of feet beneath the curtains, trembling.

He nudged the curtain aside with his gun and saw a servant of the Wang Family, his face contorted in fear. The servant instinctively shielded himself with a mercury-filled syringe tube pressed against his chest.

Lu Li gently let the curtain fall back into place and then pulled the trigger.

With a "dong" sound, the curtain was splattered with mercury and blood.

The mournful and sorrowful melody of a suona drifted from afar. Only one minute had passed since the two of them had infiltrated the premises!

In the study, Wang Siqi stood guard before his father's coffin, completely unaware of the situation outside.

Every so often, a sound of pounding and tearing could be heard from within the coffin, as if something was desperately trying to get out.
