Chapter 793 - Untitled

Chaos ensued. The bullet hit a small shop signboard and suddenly dimmed the once-colorful signboard. The signboard snapped in the middle and dropped onto the floor. Ye Ningyuan turned his head and saw An Xunuo push him down. The two of them got up almost at once and left the chaotic street in a few leaps and bounds into a silent dead end.

As this part of City A happened to be undergoing redevelopment, there were unsafe buildings that were uninhabited. Their panicked actions left their pursuers with no choice.

Ye Ningyuan looked on coldly. Damn those idiots who fired in the middle of a bustling city.

Damn that An Xunuo who even leaped onto him. She did not need to remind him that a bullet was on its way. He could dodge that single bullet without her stepping in at all. Since she was fast, she was not wounded at all.

If not, he ought to teach her a lesson. So much for all that frustration in vain.

Just who could it be?

Did he cross somebody and brought upon himself sworn revenge? Ye Ningyuan secretly wondered to himself as two groups of men were after him. Damn it! He did not want to go on a murder spree.

The two of them ran into a dead end and stopped their steps. Unsafe buildings surrounded them amidst the darkness that was slightly alleviated by the moon which illuminated the dead end in a sheen of white.

There was a silence in the dead end. Ye Ningyuan looked at An Xunuo and said, “Miss An, please refrain from such dangerous shenanigans in the future.”

The man’s low voice had a warning.

An Xunuo coldly harrumphed and said, “It would be tough for me to explain how you went out with me and return covered in blood.”

“Are you so sure that I will return covered in blood?” It seemed somebody was looking down on him! Did he, for goodness’ sake, seem so frail?

“Shouldn’t you thank the person who saved you?” An Xunuo coldly asked.

Ye Ningyuan played along and politely bowed. “Miss An, thank you.”

An Xunuo was taken aback at how he played along to the point she did not quite know how to respond. As steps rang out before them, eight tall figures appeared at the dead end. Two women and six men were in sporting attire.

“Where are you from?” An Xunuo’s cold response with murderous intent almost froze hell over.

“That’s none of your business. Wise up and leave, for we are just after Ye Ningyuan’s head,” the leader, a man, said.

“Hmmph! Let’s see if you can have his head over my dead body!” An Xunuo laughed domineeringly and leaped forward, pushing Ye Ningyuan back and shielding him in a protective stance.

Ye Ningyuan stroked his forehead. That was so ego-crushing!

Given that she was planning to take on all eight of them herself, they, from the speed they caught up, did not seem weak.

“Who are you?”

“None of your business!” An Xunuo looked at them solemnly and coldly laughed. “Take me on!”

If gunshots rang out, law enforcement would certainly gather around the bazaar. If they did not want to startle the cops, they would be smart enough to engage in a fistfight than go for their guns lest they set the cops on themselves instead.

As a murderous intent engulfed the narrow dead end, a night gust kicked up much dust and slightly darkened the moonlight that poured down.

“What an arrogant lass we have there! If you want to remember who killed you, remember my name.” A woman in black leaped forward and went for An Xunuo’s chest. Just as An Xunuo was about to dodge it, she felt somebody suddenly pull her back. She was enraged.

Ye Ningyuan whistled and said, “Dear madam, we can save the fight for later. What’s the rush?”

“What did you say!?” The woman flew into a rage. “Madam!?”

“I should apologize for that. I call anybody who’s older than my mother ‘madam’.” Ye Ningyuan smiled elegantly as though he did not see the murderous intent brimming from that woman in black. “Dear madam, how much is my head worth again?” His deep voice sounded even more cheerful.

“Damn young brat, stop calling me ‘madam’. Do you want to die?” The woman bellowed in frustration as though she was about to lose it. An Xunuo, on the other hand, was emotionless.

He was really out to anger that woman to death. She was probably slightly over thirty but looked as old as Cheng Anya.

“Liri, stop yapping with him. Kill him.”

“Surely it’s not too much for me to ask how much my head’s worth before you kill me?”

“Why the f*** do you want to know that?” the woman asked angrily.

“I really should know how much you are dying for.” Ye Ningyuan’s deep voice, in stark contrast from how he usually sounded, became slightly colder and hostile.

“Damn arrogant brat!” Seeing the woman attack in rage, An Xunuo grabbed her wrist and landed a flying kick on her abdomen, sending her flying. The woman responded quickly by somersaulting. She glided backward and landed on her feet, supported by someone behind her.

Her abdomen burned in pain. That damn lass.

Ye Ningyuan raised his eyebrows at how badass An Xunuo was when she sent somebody flying with that kick.

“Liri, you’re too careless.”

“Shut up!” The woman bellowed and suddenly attacked. “Damn nosey lass! You will pay for your nosiness!”

“You’d better have the chops to make me pay then.” An Xunuo coldly laughed. She swept her feet, went up to the woman, and held her fists, grabbing her shoulder bone in a flash. Even if the woman quickly darted away, she felt a numbing pain in her shoulders.

That was a terrifically good lass.

The leader in black waved his hand, and the six of them leaped forth and attacked. While the dead alley was narrow, An Xunuo held her position and nobody was able to pass her and directly attack Ye Ningyuan.

“Damn your bizarre moves! Just who the heck are you?” The seven of them backed away from An Xunuo with varying injuries. An Xunuo struck so fast, so unpredictably and so specifically to the point Ye Ningyuan even missed out on some of her moves, whereas others only seemed to see time freeze around her as she acted. Her moves were unpredictable, targeted, and had a domineering streak to them that focused on delivering deadly moves. Even seven men and women who were capable fighters were no match for her, and the five of them were wounded in less than ten minutes.

Under the moonlight, An Xunuo’s pale face hid a murderous intent. “I’ll tell you, just before you die, who killed you.”

She was so arrogant to the point she was completely different from who she normally was.
