143: Chapter 143 Hope (The Finale)

Purple lightning swirled around Xiao Sinian's entire body. Even with bloodstains still lingering at the corners of his mouth, it was impossible for anyone to ignore his power.

"Yanqi Mountain, back then, we gave you a chance..."

If he hadn't chosen to leave the Security Bureau back then, they wouldn't have ended up in this mutually destructive situation today.

Qi Yin also stepped forward slowly, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Xiao Sinian, her eyes burning with murderous intent.

"Why waste so much breath talking to him? Just hack him to death already."

She had died in her previous life because of the Apocalypse, and now that she knew the appearance of zombies, and even the coming of the Apocalypse itself, were all Yanqi Mountain's doing, Qi Yin wished she could slice him into a thousand pieces.

If he didn't die, how could she face the millions of ordinary people who had turned into monsters?

Yanqi Mountain knelt on the ground, his face covered in his own splattered blood; he looked no different from a zombie.

He tilted his head back, looked at the outstanding man and woman before him, and suddenly laughed.

"Want to kill me? You don't have the ability..."

As he spoke, his figure was gradually enveloped by thick black smoke.

Qi Yin and Xiao Sinian immediately remembered that scene in Lin City; Yanqi Mountain had also caught them off guard by turning into black smoke and disappearing back then.

The two frowned, simultaneously launching their Supernatural Ability at the rolling black smoke in front of them. However, the ice ball and lightning passed straight through the black smoke, smashing two large holes in the ground behind it.

They had finally managed to catch this person; were they going to let the tiger return to the mountain again?

"Hahaha, Xiao Sinian, next time, I will definitely kill you two annoying things!"

Yanqi Mountain's arrogant words echoed throughout the entire square...

Just as the thick smoke was about to vanish, taking Yanqi Mountain with it to escape, two gentle beams of white light suddenly cascaded down from the city wall, transforming into a bowl-shaped vessel that went "snap" and wrapped around the thick smoke.

"Sister Yin, we're here!"

Qi Yin looked back toward the city wall and saw Li Shi and Li Yun standing on the battlements, their foreheads covered in cold sweat. White light emanated from their hands, tightly connected to the vessel that was enclosing the black smoke.

"And us!"

Lu Jinwen and all the Ability Users brought by the President all stood behind Li Shi and Li Yun, continuously injecting their Supernatural Ability into the two little ones.

Even Wen Yang and Lei Jun, whose arms had just been reattached by Wang Anyu, joined the formation.

Everyone had a determined gaze.

They all knew that no matter what, they could not let Yanqi Mountain go today, otherwise, it would be akin to raising a tiger that would eventually cause trouble.

Light was the nemesis of darkness. With their joining, Yanqi Mountain, who had been about to vanish into black smoke, was instantly beaten back to his original form, curling up into a pitch-black ball of flesh and pinned beneath the light shield.

He reached out his hand, using all his strength to condense a dark energy ball, and struck violently at the edge of the light shield.

However, the black energy ball only left a small crack on the light shield, which then quickly recovered, leaving no trace at all.

He refused to believe it and tried a few more times, but he still couldn't break the light shield in the slightest.

Now, on Yanqi Mountain's arrogant face, he finally felt a hint of panic, especially when he faced the restless Supernatural Ability spheres of Qi Yin and Xiao Sinian again.

"How is this possible? My Darkness Power—no one is my match. How can this be, how can this be?"

Even now, he still couldn't believe that there was actually a Supernatural Ability in this world that could restrain dark energy.

Xiao Sinian let out a cold snort, his icy voice exploding over his head.

"If you wanted the position of the Security Bureau chief, I could have given it to you. But you—you should never, ever have used the bodies of our countrymen to conduct those damned experiments, and even more so, you should never have turned our former comrades into puppets for you to control the world..."

And after hearing this, Yanqi Mountain let out an even louder, ferocious laugh.

"Xiao Sinian, what I hate most is this high-and-mighty attitude of yours. Why do you think I did all this? Wasn't it to strengthen our army? The stronger the army, the better our national security—isn't that good? You tell me? What is wrong with doing this?"

He wanted to keep roaring, but was cut off by a shout from Qi Yin.

"This is not a justification for you colluding with Sakura Country to murder people..."

She glanced at Xiao Sinian, who was on the verge of breaking down, tucked her hand into his large palm, and said softly, "Let's go..."

Since their own Supernatural Abilities couldn't directly kill Yanqi Mountain, they would have to rely on the hands of Xiao Shi and Xiao Yun.

Xiao Sinian lowered his eyes, took one last look at the crazed Yanqi Mountain, and shook his head helplessly.

Back on the city wall, Qi Yin put all her strength into channeling her Supernatural Ability into Li Shi: "A-Nian, kill him."

She knew that Xiao Sinian only looked cold on the surface, but he valued friendship and loyalty more than anyone else. After all, he had worked with Yanqi Mountain for so many years, and the two had once been intimate comrades-in-arms.

The President sighed, turned around, and was unwilling to watch this impending scene.

Xiao Sinian remained silent; the Supernatural Ability in his hands turned into a gentle purple light and entered Li Yun's body.

The two sisters absorbed enough energy and quickly formed seals with their hands. A huge sun of white light appeared above Yanqi Mountain's head, and like a thousand-pound boulder, it slowly pressed down inch by inch.

"No, no, I am not reconciled..."

"Ah..."

Accompanied by a shrill scream, Yanqi Mountain's entire body shattered into dust like glass within the blinding white light...

And the last trace of Darkness Power in his body, symbolizing dark energy, gradually faded with his death and finally dissipated between heaven and earth.

Qi Yin stopped her actions, let out a long sigh, and stared blankly at the "fragments" on the ground below.

Finally, was it over?

In the western sky, a touch of fiery red sunset appeared.

A long arm pulled her into an embrace. She turned back and met Xiao Sinian's refined eyes.

"It's over..."

Everyone seemed not to have snapped out of it yet, staring blankly at the place where Yanqi Mountain had disappeared, as if they couldn't believe their own eyes.

The thing that couldn't be killed even by bombing just a moment ago—it was just gone like that?

The first to react was Lu Yanxiu, who was on the side. He stared blankly at the sky, then poked the equally dazed Lu Jinwen beside him, and suddenly roared at the top of his lungs.

"Damn it, we finally got rid of this son of a bitch, not even a scrap left!"

This shout woke everyone up.

"We won, we won..." Li Shi and Li Yun stared at their hands, weeping with joy.

They had really done it!

Above and below the city wall, after a brief silence, came cheers that sounded like a landslide or a tsunami.

Lu Jinwen and Lei Jun ran toward Li Shi and Li Yun, "Oh my babies, your Supernatural Abilities, they're too awesome; you could even take down Yanqi Mountain."

Seeing this, the others followed suit, surrounding Li Shi and Li Yun in the middle, leaving no room to breathe.

Amidst the earth-shaking laughter and cheers, the two blushed as they were tossed high into the air by countless hands, falling, and being tossed up again...

Qi Yin and Xiao Sinian stood shoulder-to-shoulder, watching this boiling scene, and smiled lightly.

At that moment, the President hung up the communicator, staring composedly at this pair of beautiful couple, the smile in his eyes unable to be hidden.

A handsome man and a beautiful woman; truly pleasing to the eye.

Perhaps Heaven felt that this country's fortune still remained, and this group of girls and boys were the gifts Heaven had sent to this country.

It was precisely because of them that humanity saw hope!

"You brat, Yin Yin, the vegetables, they have been grown..."

"The vaccine is about to enter the clinical stage..."
