266: Chapter 266 Die!!!

Ming quickly withdrew his spiritual power and hurriedly performed an ancient etiquette reserved for those of higher status toward the beautiful woman before him.

"Eh? Kid, you recognize me?" Huan Wuxing was somewhat surprised. "I thought I'd been keeping a low profile for the past hundred years, so how did you recognize me so quickly?"

"Reporting to you, My Lady... decades ago, I once accompanied my father to seek medicine from you..."

"Oh! You're that kid who looked so ugly!"

"..." Ming fell silent.

He never expected that the real reason he had always worn a mask would be revealed publicly by his own lifesaver in such an extremely awkward way.

This was a secret he had hidden for decades!

And his subordinate was standing right next to him! Where was he supposed to hide his Face in the future!

"Alright, let's reminisce later. So... are you still planning to make a move now?" Seemingly realizing the impropriety of her words, Huan Wuxing hurriedly steered the topic back.

Her expression changed, and the sense of Aura emanating from her instantly intensified, causing even Xing Yaoyan behind her to break out in goosebumps involuntarily.

"No. Our mission this time is considered a failure, and we certainly dare not oppose you, My Lady..."

He bowed, and upon seeing Qian Mo standing there dumbfounded as if stunned, he hurriedly pressed down on his head to make him show some respect as well...

Who knew, at this moment, Huan Wuxing suddenly spoke: "Ahem! Skip the formalities; I don't like such superficial things... As long as you don't go over there, that's giving me Face..."

Xing Yaoyan, over there, secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

She was actually taking a gamble.

After all, Huan Wuxing was extremely powerful and belonged to the uncontrollable factors. If not for wanting to personally kill Leng You this time, she would never have taken such a big risk to let her out...

But it seemed now that she was actually quite obedient to her. Could it be that she had some other unknown intentions towards her...

Although she had a thousand doubts in her heart, Xing Yaoyan couldn't care about that much right now; her mind was entirely filled with Killing Intent towards Leng You.

Even if Jesus came today, he wouldn't be able to save him; I said so!

Secretary Wu Ming, watching this latest Heaven-Defying turnaround before him, felt his mood plummet to rock bottom once again.

"You... The Mayor specifically hired experts from your Dark Pavilion to come here, and you're just going to ditch the job like this?!" He pointed at the two people at the door in despair, his tone filled with grief and indignation.

"Apologies..." Ming bowed slightly in response.

Setting aside whether he could even defeat this lady before him, and even if he could, she was, after all, his savior. Reason and sentiment dictated that he could not make a move.

Even if his reputation were affected by this in the future, there was nothing to be done about it...

"You... stay away from the Mayor!"

Watching the white-robed woman over there walking step by step toward Leng You, who was completely defenseless, frozen like a wooden statue, and filled with terror, Secretary Wu Ming summoned his courage and shouted at her:

"You scum of the Star Cult... traitors to humanity! You are not allowed... not allowed to harm the Mayor!"

Secretary Wu Ming's mind began to recall past moments: the Mayor's approachable smile when he first came to his side; his comforting gaze when he had mistakenly remembered the schedule due to being too busy...

Mayor Leng You was, in his impression, the best Esper, the one who put on no airs and respected ordinary people like him the most. He absolutely would not allow the good Mayor in his heart to be harmed by this scum of the Star Cult!!!

One step, two steps...

As an ordinary person, he had actually overcome his physiological fear of power and was walking slowly yet firmly toward Xing Yaoyan...

"Hmm? Interesting..."

Xing Yaoyan glanced at him slightly, a look of interest appearing in her eyes. But she immediately snorted coldly, revealing a disdainful smile.

A weak guy, no matter how angry he acts, will always make people find it particularly ridiculous.

Moreover, this guy clearly didn't know about the dirty things Leng You did behind the scenes.

Xing Yaoyan had learned during her previous intelligence gathering that Leng You had joined the 'Poison Fang' exploration team in his early years, using the pretext of developing resources in the Land of Destruction to actually plunder the fruits of other exploration teams.

During his campaign for mayor, he had secretly infiltrated all the council members through 'Soul Washing' and was eventually elected mayor with unanimous votes.

Moreover, after becoming mayor, he used his power to secretly fund the 'Poison Fang' exploration team, which had long been expelled by the Security Bureau, letting them do all sorts of shady work for him.

Of course, there was also the business of trafficking various Spirit Beasts and demons...

People like Secretary Wu Ming certainly couldn't come into contact with his various dark histories; in their eyes, there was only the most glamorous side of their superior, completely unable to see the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, the filth and stench behind him...

However, Xing Yaoyan couldn't be bothered to explain to him, nor was it necessary. Her only target was Leng You; she only wanted his life. Where everyone else ended up, or whatever they thought, had nothing to do with her...

Finally, Xing Yaoyan arrived in front of Leng You.

At this moment, both her energy fluctuations and the concentration of her Killing Intent had reached their Peak.

She slowly raised her manifested sharp beast claws, preparing to make this guy, who she "thought about day and night," cosplay as Louis XVI.

"Don't!"

"Tch..."

Looking at the man who had suddenly appeared in front of her, desperately protecting his enemy behind him, Xing Yaoyan felt somewhat irritated.

She didn't know how the other party, with the body of an ordinary person, had managed to forcibly break through her Aura suppression and walk in, and she didn't want to know...

She was very angry now because he was blocking her path, and that was all.

"So you want to die..."

She looked at Secretary Wu Ming before her, and two red lights appeared from beneath her white hood.

But even though his legs were shaking like chaff, this loyal subordinate of Leng You still stood firmly in front of Leng You. His Face was full of fear, yet he was unusually resolute.

"To be honest, I admire you a little... Ultimatum: get out of my way!"

This was the first time Xing Yaoyan's words had reached Secretary Wu Ming's ears, causing him to be inexplicably distracted. He couldn't imagine that this murderous Star Cult Priest before him would have such a pleasant voice; it was truly a bit of a mood killer.

"No..."

His voice was very soft, but it was exceptionally firm.

"Since you want to die... then I'll grant your wish!!!"

Xing Yaoyan was enraged.

She brought her raised wolf claws down violently. Countless black Qi swirled around her wolf claws, and the surrounding space seemed to be sliced apart by the immense power, revealing several red and golden cracks that kept intersecting.

This was a full-force strike of Xing Yaoyan's raw power. Even if Leng You suddenly woke up at this moment, his Tier 6 protective shield would absolutely not be able to withstand this strike of hers, let alone the frail body of an ordinary person like Secretary Wu Ming...

"Stop!"
