The Restless Spirit’s Father - Chapter 368

The pain he was feeling right now was more than what he felt when Jiang Hou died in his arms as well. This time, it was that woman he chose to take to his old age. Even if he vented his anger on Liu Xiaodan, it would never be enough as Liu Xiaodan was also left with no choice. Within a split second of carelessness, Hongfei could kill him… and that was not something either Qiao Shan or Liu Xiaodan wanted.

That was why he was reduced to only crying in the aftermath of the struggle. He wanted to hold Qiao Shan as long as he could; he would never be able to hold onto her again. He buried his face in her neck and ignored his hurting body. This was the last time… there would never be anything that could follow…

“They’re taking heavy fire at the south gate. Wu Zhen and Qiao Dong are escaping.” This relayed report from Wang Yusheng echoed heavily in Li Feng’s ears. Those two old foxes were escaping? Weren’t they… the ones responsible for awakening Hongfei? Weren’t they the ones… who gave her that order?

Li Feng stopped crying all of a sudden. His rage exploded in his body that it might even look like smoke was coming out of him. ‘I don’t care about your excuses! Don’t you dare let those two escape!’

His bellow was so intense that even Guangru, who was decimating another ancient demon, shudder in fear. He freely turned his wooden head in the direction of where Li Feng was. His pareidolic face even changed as well, to express his sudden fear. If only he could climb Liu Xiaodan at this very moment…

With their connections reestablished, everyone connected to Liu Xiaodan felt the dense anger that surged within Li Feng’s body. It was way more shocking to them than Guangru’s presence in the courtyard. The three other friends met one another on their way to the south gate, and they exchanged gazes. There was only one thing in their minds… Kill!

“Retreat! Retreat!” One of the mercenary leaders called out as his group was getting too much gunfire. The guards were focused here all of a sudden as Qiao Dong and Wu Zhen intended to escape the place. The firepower of Hades was more than they expected. He was already comparable to his ancient demon child. The Black March was getting drained, fighting against four overpowered Kings and three overpowered demons.

It didn’t help that Liu Xiaodan was also capable of attacking using his blood spray. Moreover, Mian Qingwei was also helping out when she heard that they’re decimating the Qiao family who experimented on her for years. With Hades and Queen handling the main force of the Qiao family, they were left with Zuixue—who was readily suppressed by Guangru.

Qihui, Yingxia, and the rest of the demons didn’t even dare to fight anymore. They would only ultimately die in the hands of the transcendents. Moreover, they would either be turned into spawned puppets or a part of someone’s body. The ends were simply nothing they could accept.

That was why Qiao Dong decided to save his own skin. He couldn’t get rid of Wu Zhen yet, so he dragged the other with him. Right now, the driver was doing his best to maneuver that armored car through the path littered with the dead. With the guards clearing the path for the car, they barely had hindrance aside from the dead bodies which couldn’t move out of the way.

“They breached the encirclement!” The leader regretfully reported as he saw the car dash past the broken barricade that they were setting up. He was so angry that the Qiao family actually decided to surrender so early. Everyone hadn’t even finished moving into their positions to encircle those who flee, and these two old foxes were already outside the property.

However, from his vantage point, he noticed a figure standing in the path of a car. It was a maiden in a golden hanfu. “Chief, did you send a little girl out?”

It’s just that… the moment he said that, the maiden in a golden hanfu swirled like a flower as the car lied a meter before her. As she spun, the car actually got divided into two, separating Wu Zhen and Qiao Dong. They both jumped out before the car parts smashed into the trees and a huge rock. As one was once a field exorcist and the other was a retired military personnel, they managed to survive with only minor scr.a.p.es and bruises.

“Yingxia! What do you think you’re doing?!” Qiao Dong yelled in anger. Why did one of his demons destroy their getaway vehicle? He then held a hand seal that made Yingxia scream in pain. “Answer me, you insolent being!”

“Qiao Dong, above you!” After shaking his head to relieve him of dizziness, Wu Zhen saw a black figure dive at Qiao Dong from above. His warning was prompt, and so Qiao Dong managed to swipe his other hand at the centipede demon, cutting him in pieces. “The demons are against us now! Kill them!”

“How dare you!” Qiao Dong growled as he tried to kill the screaming maiden, but a high-caliber bullet blasted his right hand. The shaman screamed so loud in pain as he couldn’t believe that his hand was turned into minced meat from just one hit. Before he could think of using his other hand, Yingxia had swiped at his arm. His other hand flew out as his blood sprouted like a fountain.

From the darkness of the night, a figure in a blue jacket appeared. His image was so ordinary that he was easy to forget, but the aura he gave was insanely terrifying. His impassive eyes landed on Qiao Dong who trembled at the sight of him. “You plan to escape? After everything you have done, you think you can escape me?”

Qiao Dong’s eyes trembled as he had no idea why this had happened all of a sudden. He wanted to speak, but Liu Xiaodan grabbed him by the face. In an instant, Qiao Dong lost consciousness and fell lifelessly onto the ground.

Looking over his shoulder, Liu Xiaodan cast a glance at Yingxia. “Why did you race me to this place? Are you trying to take advantage of things as well? Are you seeking vengeance?”

“…very pretty boy said… Yingxia will be spared… if she catches Not-Master…” Yingxia tilted her head as if she didn’t understand what was happening. An entity claimed to be a pet of the killing machine, and he guaranteed her life if she helped in subduing this master of hers. Since this man was not even her real master and just a successor of the blood scroll that held the contract of the Black March, she didn’t find it repulsive.

What was repulsive was that this new master refused to tell her where the handsome previous master was.

Liu Xiaodan actually frowned, but he got a clear picture when the rest of the friends arrived. Tang Mingming flashed a grin at Yingxia. “Oh, so you really caught him?”
