On the cliff edge,
The salty sea wind raged, blowing so hard that it was difficult to stand.
Qiao Ying tried continuously to find an opportunity to get away from the cliff edge, but her way was blocked. She kept getting closer and closer to the cliff edge.
It was another life-and-death struggle.
Qiao Ying was severely injured, her strength was exhausted.
As for the leader of the shadows, apart from the injuries on his neck and hands from Qiao Ying, there were no fatal wounds on his body.
JOKER had a short dagger in his hand.
It was snatched from Liu Ying.
He walked step by step towards Qiao Ying, who was unable to stand up, and said dangerously: “Tell me who exactly you are, and I’ll let you die more quickly.”
Qiao Ying pulled the bloody corner of her mouth: “...I’m your dad!”
JOKER said: "Rebellious children are really unpleasant."
Qiao Ying laughed again and said breathlessly and weakly: “...I have rebelled against you, my dad, not just once or twice.”
JOKER was expressionless: “Then go to hell with your secret.”
There was not the slightest hint of fear of death on Qiao Ying's face: “This whole island belongs to my people. If I die, don’t expect to live either.”
JOKER's face darkened.
At this moment, Qin Hanyue was tracking the intermittent signal from the locator on Qiao Ying's body and hurrying this way...
The short dagger in JOKER's hand tightened slightly. Before he walked up to Qiao Ying, from the corner of his eye he caught sight of a figure rushing towards him.
He turned his head to look. To his surprise, Xiao Yi, who Qiao Ying had knocked out with a palm strike earlier, had now regained consciousness. At this moment he rushed desperately towards JOKER.
Xiao Yi grabbed him tightly around the waist, wanting to bring both of them over the cliff in a mutual destruction.
JOKER did not dodge at all.
When Xiao Yi voluntarily came forward, he directly stabbed a knife into Xiao Yi's neck and blood sprayed out.
Qiao Ying’s pupils contracted sharply. She struggled hard with her last bit of strength and rushed towards JOKER. JOKER kicked upwards, knocking Xiao Yi away, then attacked Qiao Ying.
Qiao Ying took a heavy kick from JOKER.
Her whole body was like a broken kite, crashing towards the cliff. She smashed into the ground, her body out of control, rolling towards the cliff edge. Qiao Ying had almost broken her palms, but finally stopped when half of her body was hanging over the cliff edge.
Her palms were a bloody mess.
Qiao Ying spat out a mouthful of blood, her whole body felt as if it had been taken apart. Now if she shifted her body outward even slightly, she would fall into the abyss, but she didn’t even have the strength to move her body.
Looking up at the azure sky, with the roaring wind in her ears, Qiao Ying thought: I really don’t want to die in the sea again.
That bastard still hasn’t come!
JOKER walked towards Qiao Ying, who was unable move.
With just a slight kick of his foot, he could easily kick Qiao Ying into the gates of hell without any effort, and it would all be over.
JOKER very much enjoyed controlling another person's life or death.
Especially that of a strong person like Qiao Ying.
Qiao Ying’s arm that lay on the ground moved slightly. She was prepared to drag JOKER's leg down with her.
JOKER was now less than 15 feet away from Qiao Ying, staring at her as if she were already dead, but also with some regret.
Just then, more than a dozen figures suddenly appeared.
Immediately after, the sound of submachine guns broke through the thoughts of the two people at the cliff edge. Bullets bounced off armor with crisp clangs, disturbing the birds in the forest behind.
The gunfire stopped.
Everything returned to calm. The sea wind still howled wildly as if nothing had happened, but JOKER's footsteps stopped.
He slowly lowered his head in disbelief to look at his legs riddled with bullets, and as he turned his body, he fell to his knees the next moment.
A pool of blood quickly gathered under him.
"Although I was late, I came at a critical time. Miss Qiao shouldn't blame me, right?" Teng Yan shouted at Qiao Ying on the cliff while holding a submachine gun.
Lying limply, Qiao Ying cursed Teng Yan for eight generations in her heart.
JOKER knelt on the ground and looked towards Teng Yan who had suddenly appeared.
JOKER recognized that Teng Yan was the adopted son of Hong Xin K.
He was also the person who had saved Qiao Ying in the desert.
He hadn't had time to investigate this person's identity yet.
But he saw Teng Yan stride forward and stop about 30 feet away from him. Teng Yan then enthusiastically greeted him, "My dear uncle, long time no see, do you still recognize me?"
JOKER's expression changed: "...It's you."
With just these words, blood continued to flow from his mouth.
The wind was strong.
Qiao Ying heard that "uncle" word from Teng Yan.
She was slightly surprised to learn that Teng Yan was actually the nephew of the leader of the shadows. She didn’t expect that the leader of the shadows actually had a younger sister too.
Teng Yan was also part of the battle plan.
To guard against Qin Hanyue being unable to evade the eyes of the shadows and sending Qin Yan to impersonate him to help Qiao Ying, although she believed Qin Hanyue would definitely find a way, Qiao Ying had also prepared a backup - Teng Yan.
Double protection.
From the two times Teng Yan had helped her without hesitation, even angering the shadows, when she contacted Teng Yan in Chile, Teng Yan also told her that the shadows had killed his mother, so there was a blood feud between them.
But she didn't expect that his mother would be JOKER's younger sister. No wonder he was so familiar with this island.
Teng Yan said, "I'm still alive and well, wasn't expecting that right? I'm sure you thought I died together with my mother."
"I really disappointed Uncle."
"You must be very curious about what I look like now?" Teng Yan touched his own face.
"It's all learned from my dear Uncle."
Teng Yan forced him to listen to the story of his own escape and growth: "The original owner of this face was called Wu Mayan, the useless young master born to the Wu Ma family patriarch and a prostitute."
"I killed him, had plastic surgery to take on his appearance, and barely survived until now!" His voice suddenly sank: "In the very year you killed my mother and your own sister!"
Teng Yan gritted his teeth, his expression twisting slightly.
The hatred and humiliation he had endured silently in his heart for many years erupted at this moment.
Teng Yan said, "I said that one day I would definitely come back to kill you! And kill those bastards! I've done it."
He laughed happily and shouted loudly, "Miss Qiao, thank you again. If not for you, I don't know when I would have completed this revenge project."
"It took me a full six years to gain the trust of that old bastard Hong Xin K, but you effortlessly killed him."
"And Black Spade A, when I saw you in Arequipa I was so happy. Miss Qiao really lived up to my expectations."
Qiao Ying scolded Teng Yan in her heart: Can he stop talking nonsense and come rescue me first.
But she really had no strength left.
Teng Yan looked back at JOKER, smiling with concern, "Bled so much, does it hurt? It must hurt a lot right?"
His expression turned cold again, the corners of his mouth twitching abnormally.
"Did you ever think about how much pain your own sister was in when you locked her up as a lab animal for experiments?!"
JOKER just looked at him coldly, regretting that he hadn't killed them all back then.
"Miss Qiao, the number one assassin of the Shadows, Blood Shadow, was caught for live experimentation. You must be very angry for her sake, right?"
"No need to be angry, because this bastard was also jealous of his own sister's talent and caught her to experiment on."
"Even me, I'm just a genetic experiment."
Teng Yan said and suddenly burst out laughing as if he had heard some very funny joke. His laughter grew louder and louder, laughing till his stomach hurt but showing no sign of stopping.
Finally he laughed enough: "The pain you inflicted on me and my mother, I will repay you thousandfold, ten thousandfold! Bring him over, I want to let him have a taste of what it feels like to be an experimental subject too."
He commanded his subordinates.
"Miss Qiao, Qin Hanyue should have arrived by now. I won't personally take you to the hospital - I'm taking this man away now because I still have to catch up with my dear uncle here. I'll come pay you a visit of thanks another day."
But JOKER, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly laughed, then tore open his clothes, revealing a belt of explosives around his waist.
He raised the detonator in his hand high.
Teng Yan's men immediately stopped in their tracks.
JOKER revealed a victorious smile: "...My fate won't end at your command, you mere experiment."
The expression on Teng Yan's face also cooled down.
But just then,
Qin Hanyue finally arrived with a large group of men, catching sight of Qiao Ying dangling on the cliff edge at first glance.
"Xiao Ying!" Qin Hanyue immediately ran towards the cliff edge.
JOKER knew he wouldn't survive.
Qiao Ying wouldn’t give him and Qin Hanyue a chance to negotiate.
His legs were already crippled, even if Qin Hanyue gave him a chance to escape, he still couldn't get off this island. Although his heart was filled with endless resentment, it was of no use.
Sensing the smell of danger, Qiao Ying almost instantly guessed what the desperate JOKER would do. As she recovered a little strength, she tried to get up to escape.
Just then, she heard JOKER's crazy voice: "Go to hell with me!" He turned around and pounced towards Qiao Ying near the cliff.
Countless bullets were shot at him but failed to stop him.
Qiao Ying had no strength left to save herself and was taken by JOKER over the cliff.
She heard Qin Hanyue's despairing scream: "Xiao Ying!"
The moment JOKER pounced off the cliff with Qiao Ying, he detonated the explosives on his body and an explosion rang out.
A large flame rushed up from under the cliff.
Qin Hanyue sprinted to the edge of the cliff...
