Flowing shadow reached out and received a box.
Upon opening it, he found two brand-new shells inside.
He loaded the shells onto his mechanical arm, a perfect fit.
Flowing shadow was astonished.
His mechanical arm was essentially a mechanical cannon, and the shells he loaded were his own specially crafted ones that were incredibly difficult to produce. They couldn't be found on the market, as they required specific materials.
Apart from training, he spent most of his time working on this. The cost of a single shell was easily in the millions.
While the ones Qiao Ying gave him were not as refined as the ones he made himself and appeared hastily assembled, the fact that he could use them already surprised him.
Qiao Ying had spent the past few days in his room making bombs, preparing for Flowing Shadow's mechanical arm.
He also made some other explosives, storing them in the robot's body for Qin Hanyue's protection.
After a relentless bombardment, the castle had been reduced to ruins. From the helicopter, they looked down upon the assassins fleeing in all directions from the castle, like ants.
Concealed by the forest, the escaping assassins quickly disappeared into the island...
Qin Hanyue steadied himself and reassured himself that Qiao Ying was in the underground castle and would definitely escape through the secret passage. He commanded all the helicopters to land.
Bai Xiao, Fidel, and Bademan each led a team.
- There are other secret passages in the underground castle.
Not even the leaders of the Dark Shadow, let alone those old guys from Meihua Q, knew about them.
Almost half of the castle had collapsed, burying anyone who hadn't managed to escape beneath rubble and corpses. The original exits were impossible to open.
Even if Qiao Ying and the others managed to kill those death warriors, they couldn't escape from the underground castle. Qiao Ying, trapped inside, was undoubtedly doomed.
Killing Qiao Ying would come at the cost of losing the Dark Shadow headquarters. The anger in the Dark Shadow leader's heart was gradually building.
In the underground castle, Moon Shadow and the others were being held back by death warriors.
Moon Shadow: "Flowing Shadow, go help her."
What Joker didn't expect was that in a previous life, Qiao Ying had already discovered the secret passage of the castle when she was around ten years old.
Not only did she know about it, but she also told Flowing Shadow and the others.
Flowing Shadow opened his mechanical hand and fired a shell, injuring most of the death warriors. He glanced at Moon Shadow and then turned to chase after Qiao Ying's direction...
The secret passage was filled with traps.
Flowing Shadow chased after them and saw that all the traps had already been triggered, which meant it was Qiao Ying who had done it.
Fortunately, there was no sign of extensive blood or severed limbs along the way, indicating that Qiao Ying hadn't been injured by the traps.
Flowing Shadow crouched down, picked up a few drops of blood from the ground, rubbed them between his fingertips—it was still warm. She must be ahead.
However, despite running all the way, Flowing Shadow couldn't catch up with Qiao Ying.
The secret passage was too long, and he had no idea where it led. Exhausted and gasping for breath, he felt like he had run halfway across the island.
Just when he was on the verge of collapse, he saw a dazzling white light.
He quickened his pace and emerged from the secret passage. The darkness of the shadows was replaced by blinding light.
By now, he was several kilometers away from the castle, close to the seaside. The surroundings were filled with trees. When he turned around, he could see the distant castle, billowing with smoke.
Flowing Shadow squinted his eyes, crouched down, and searched for traces on the ground. He quickly determined the direction Qiao Ying and the others had taken, and then he pursued them.
Soon, Flowing Shadow heard the sound of a fight up ahead.
Approaching closer, Qiao Ying was fiercely battling two Death Warriors, with another one lying on the ground.
Flowing Shadow quickly joined the fight.
"Leave this to me."
After Flowing Shadow dealt with the person, they caught up with Qiao Ying again, who was standing in front of a cliff.
A helicopter was parked at the edge of the cliff.
It was obvious that JOKER intended to escape by helicopter.
JOKER: "Tell me, how did you know about the secret passage?" This secret passage, not even Blood Shadow knew about it. How did she find out?!
At this moment, JOKER felt completely manipulated by Qiao Ying — she knew too much!
Qiao Ying's breath was unsteady: "At the moment of your death, I will make you know the answer."
JOKER sneered: "Just you?"
Qiao Ying: "Of course, it won't be just me."
JOKER: "I guarantee that when your rescue team arrives here, all they will see is your lifeless body."
Flowing Shadow appeared.
JOKER smirked and said, "Very well, another one who's come to die. Shoot them and kill them."
Several Death Warriors raised their submachine guns.
These Death Warriors were arranged here by JOKER early on.
Their weapons had not been destroyed by Flowing Shadow.
Qiao Ying and Flowing Shadow were about to dodge, and Flowing Shadow had the last shell ready.
But to everyone's surprise, a scene reminiscent of the underground castle played out again — the submachine guns misfired.
Hearing Qiao Ying's generous praise.
Flowing Shadow said, "It has nothing to do with me."
Flowing Shadow felt somewhat strange; this wasn't their doing.
Qiao Ying smiled and said, "Then it's a good deed by a good person~"
JOKER's anger was soaring: "Attack!"
Qiao Ying won't die; Dark Shadows will all die by her hands sooner or later.
The dozen or so Death Warriors immediately charged towards Qiao Ying and Flowing Shadow.
Both of them were injured, but they were top-notch assassins of the Shadow Squadron. It wasn't an easy task for these Death Warriors to take their lives.
Witnessing the death of two more Death Warriors.
JOKER commanded coldly, "You, go help too."
Xiao Yi watched the battle not far away, drew the dagger from his body, and slowly responded, "Yes."
He took a step forward, and in his eyes, the intent to kill and hatred intertwined, reaching its peak in an instant. He was engulfed in hatred.
His emotionless face suddenly turned fierce, and the dagger in his hand thrust towards JOKER's lower back.
But in the next moment, Xiao Yi's expression changed. The dagger seemed to hit a piece of metal, and the tip of the knife touched something hard.
Before Xiao Yi could react,
JOKER turned around and delivered a palm strike to him.
Xiao Yi was sent flying and crashed onto the ground, coughing up blood. He looked at JOKER's lower back, but there was no sign of injury.
Damn it, he was wearing armor.
JOKER sneered at Xiao Yi, "You're seeking death."
Xiao Yi held his broken sternum and slowly stood up, saying, bit by bit, "The one who deserves to die the most is you!"
JOKER laughed, "It seems you already know, you know that you killed your own brother, and you know that Feng Ying is your true older brother."
Looking at Xiao Yi's face distorted by hatred.
JOKER laughed out loud, "I almost forgot, there's also your mother, who chose to commit suicide because of your every word and action."
JOKER: "Fraticide, matricide. You're truly ruthless."
Xiao Yi roared, "Shut up!"
Veins bulged on his neck.
JOKER sneered, "You should be grateful to me, the one who knows what's good for you. Thank me for giving you, this 'Dead Sect' vermin, the chance to experience a mother's warmth."
"Isn't it nice to be loved by a mother? Too bad you'll never have that again in your lifetime because you killed her with your own hands!"
Xiao Yi's eyes turned bloodshot as he gripped the dagger and charged towards him, shouting, "I'll kill you!"
