Chapter 802 - Covering The Entire Mountain

Xiong Zhi looked down at her bloodied arm. The sight of it was gruesome, however, it could not compare to the traumatic experience they had.

She closed her eyes to submerge the bitter feeling of guilt and anger.

"Linfeng...Ming Zhi Yi has to pay. This happened...because we are too complacent. There are already too many deaths. Please...No matter what...we should end this today."

Xiong Zhi opened her red eyes. Her being was filled with anger, self-blame, and hatred.

Their enemy was a beast. A devil.

They went too soft on the devil. Now they harbored the mistakes of their actions.

Linfeng kissed her head. "I understand. Zhi'er....don't blame yourself. We have made a mistake by underestimating Ming Zhi Yi's cruelty. But with or without our interference, this situation is bound to happen. Although many died this time, there are still lives that have been saved."

Linfeng's heart ached when he saw his young miss battered body and mind. She was wounded physically and emotionally. He put his coat over her. He glanced at her arm and took a deep breath.

If he was given a superpower, he wished he had the ability to transfer his young miss pain to himself instead.

"There's someone who is engaging with Ming Zhi Yi right now. He won't be able to escape in this place. So you don't have to worry. I'll escort you first and treat your wound. I don't want to let you out of my sight." 

Ming Zhi Yi would surely pay. But his young miss safety was his priority.

Xiong Zhi held Linfeng's trembling hand.

"There are medics and security waiting for me. This could heal. Ming Zhi Yi....should not escape. His fighting prowess is unimaginable. I trusted our expert, but in front of Ming Zhi Yi, they could be killed easily as chickens."

Xiong Zhi's eyes chilled. "That man would harbor lives. Even we killed him, as long as he could no longer roam free, it was for the best." 

Linfeng wanted to stay with her. But he also knew the pressing matter at hand.

With Ming Zhi Yi's capability in fighting, even in front of guns, he might survive. Linfeng had to face him himself.

"Alright." He reluctantly let her go. He instructed his best and trusted people to protect and guide Xiong Zhi to the waiting medic outside.

When he was about to go, Xiong Zhi suddenly hugged him behind. Her arms tightly wrapped around his waist.

"Linfeng....come back quickly. Don't let him hurt you. If your safety is at stake...forget everything I said. Between Ming Zhi Yi's dead body and you, I prefer you alive and well."

Linfeng turned around and kissed her deeply. "I promise I will be safe. I will come back and protect you."

He then left hurriedly. If he stayed more, he was afraid he could not leave her side anymore.

Xiong Zhi watched him leave with great worry. 

'Please come back Linfeng....'

Xiong Zhi endured her urge to call him back. 

How could she send Linfeng to a beast? Knowing that life and death would be at risked one's discretion.

If she was given a choice, she would rather beg Linfeng to stay here with her. But because she trusted him that she could only leave Ming Zhi Yi to him. 

They could not allow Ming Zhi Yi escaped this time again.

"Young Miss, the medic is waiting for you."

Xiong Zhi nodded. She had no choice but to pray that Linfeng would not be hurt. As of this moment, aside from being treated, she also need to look at the damaged that Ming Zhi Yi caused.

When she took a step she suddenly remembered what Linfeng said.

Who is the person that was sent after Ming Zhi Yi? Was it a great Master?

....

At the foot of the mountain, the earth shook and dust scattered everywhere.

Guns were fired. Grenades were thrown. The bodies dropping on the ground increased every minute.

Butler Qian was currently exchanging fires with some experts hiding on the trees.

When he and his Master together with the experts was about to leave, they were suddenly ambushed. No matter which escaped route they went into, they were faced by the opposing forces. 

The rescue team from the four families had already covered the exit of the entire mountain! 

No matter if it was by foot, by car, or a helicopter, they could not escape!

Butler Qian hide behind the tree as he loaded more bullets into his gun. Since it was dark, he could not see how many shooters there were. But judging the frequency of the shooting and no break of their continuous shooting, the other party greatly outnumbered them.

When did the opposing forces encircled the entire mountain? How come they never noticed it?! This strategy of cornering them was truly overpowering. They leave them no room to escape!

"Master! I don't think we can hold on with the limit of our ammunition. You should leave first!" Butler Qian shouted to Ming Zhi Yi amidst the constant firing.

Like him, Ming Zhi Yi was also hiding behind the tree. His bloodied glove was holding a gun. Despite facing such a threatening situation, the man's face was cold and expressionless.

"There's no need. They have found this place earlier than we thought. They encircled the entire mountain first before barging in." Ming Zhi Yi threw the empty magazine and loaded his gun.

"Their main goal is not to rescue their heirs but to entrapped me. If they come sooner, they might have saved Old Lu. " Ming Zhi Yi suddenly laughed. "The four legendary families' first move is to clean up after their enemy than saving their own blood. How that bastard Old Lu would feel when he learned that his dearest friends prioritize my death rather than his life? Haha!"

Butler Qian did not dare to glance at his Master. He was sure he would see a crazy look that belong to his previous master on his Master's face.

"Master, leave this place to us. You can still escape."

Ming Zhi Yi fired in the direction where the most number of bullets coming from. There was a yell from the other side. And the number of bullets dwindle for a moment. Ming Zhi Yi was quite relaxed. Like he was only playing a shooting game.

"I said there's no need. We should bring many of them to death as possible."

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The gunshot did not die until dawn arrived.

Ming Zhi Yi's people were at a disadvantage. They were outnumbered and their ammunition would not last them any longer. They could not escape freely since the opposing forces had blocked all their escape routes.

There was a cease-fire for a moment as both parties tried to check the situation of their enemy.

Butler Qian checked his gun. There were only three bullets left. He glanced at the empty magazines on his feet. The bag which contained their guns was now empty. He had no spare bullets anymore.

He glanced at the other experts at his side. Some of them shook their heads at him. A lot of them had empty guns.

Butler Qian looked at his Master.

Ming Zhi Yi was looking at his empty gun. The bag on his side had three guns left.. But that small amount of ammunition would only buy them a few seconds.
