122 Sneak Attack

"Damn! Who's it? Show your face! You sneaky coward! Come out and fight me face to face!" After watching someone disappear before his eyes for the third time, Huo Wu made a circle on the stage and then burst in raging yells. 

However, no one responded. 

As he was nearly losing control of himself, his fire dragons madly danced in the sky and destroyed the surrounding tall buildings and trees, leaving burning flames on them. 

Meanwhile in Lin Qiao's space, Yang Cheng hadn't realized what was happening. Earlier on, he felt that someone suddenly dragged his arm, and then his eyes were dazzled. When he could see again, he found that he was in a different place. 

"Eh! Em…" Before he could figure out a thing about this strange place, a hand suddenly clasped his throat. He gave a muffled moan and then began struggling, trying to free himself from that hand. 

The owner of the hand locked his throat from behind him, so he was supposed to shake it off easily. However, no matter how hard he tried, he wasn't able to get rid of that hand. That hand gripped his throat even tighter and tighter. 

He even started to believe that that hand was able to directly crumble his throat, as he felt like his neck was clenched in a giant iron pincer. 

"Yang Cheng! Hah, I didn't think that I'd see you again!" A voice was suddenly heard from next to his ear, laughing viciously. Yang Cheng felt that the man who was talking hated him so much that he even wanted to bite him. 

Yang Cheng was startled on hearing the voice. He immediately turned his head to see the owner of it. But, the voice was coming from behind him. As he couldn't turn his head around at the moment, he had no way of seeing that man's face. 

However, he recognized that voice. 

"Captain, if you want to talk, why don't you come to talk face to face with me? Why're you hiding behind?" Yang Cheng seemed to be a little panicked, but he forced himself to calm down and speak sarcastically. 

"I don't need to, because I don't want to see your flunky face. That's way too disgusting." Du Yuanxing and Long Qingying stood behind Lin Qiao, watching her easily suppress Yang Cheng, who was taller than her, with one single hand. 

While locking Yang Cheng's neck with one hand, Lin Qiao disarmed him with the other hands, then threw all of his guns at Du Yuanxing. 

"Hah, do you think you can live a better life by following that Earth Dragon Base scum named Huo Wu? You might have been able to live if you didn't guide him here, but sadly, you've dug your own grave by bringing him here. I can't kill Huo Wu now, but I can certainly kill you," Du Yuanxing sneered. 

Earlier on, when Lin Qiao exited the space, Du Yuanxing and Long Qingying thought that she was going to leave this place. But to their surprise, she returned in a couple of minutes with a man in her hand. 

The two of them were preparing to take a good look at the things in this space, but once they saw that man, they had forgotten about this strange space completely. 

After taking away all Yang Cheng's guns, Lin Qiao pushed him away. 

Yang Cheng staggered a few steps forward and nearly fell to the ground. When he finally found his footing, he saw Du Yuanxing and Long Qingying, as well as a man wearing a sunglasses, his face covered in scars. 

He recognized Du Yuanxing's sunglasses. 

He glanced at the three, then quickly looked around. Just now, when his throat was locked, he had already seen what was before him clearly. 

After seeing Du Yuanxing and Long Qingying, he figured that he was in the mysterious space-powered man's space. 

"I didn't think that you had found a space-powered man's help you! This is a large space!" He turned to stare at the three and spoke. 

Du Yuanxing and Long Qingying looked at him blandly without responding while Lin Qiao stepped backward, prepared to watch a show. 

"What do you want? Why did you bring me into this space? Do you want to kill me? Aren't you afraid that Huo Wu might destroy you once you go out? He and his people are guarding outside. He's so angry about you two disappearing right in front of him. And now, you have got me in here too. You were trying to challenge him, right? Even if you manage to escape from here, can you ever survive his pursuit?" Yang Cheng said to Long Qingying and Du Yuancheng while looking at Lin Qiao out of the corners of his eyes. 

He figured that this strange man was that mysterious space-powered person. He was surprised that this man who was shorter than himself and relatively skinny actually had a great strength. Earlier on when this man locked his throat, he was even disabled from moving.

Du Yuanxing looked at him coldly and said, "I've told you that you're too greedy, and that one day, your greed will get you killed. But, I never thought that it would happen so soon."

Yang Cheng used to be Du Yuanxing's friend and teammate, but he betrayed the latter for his own good. Du Yuanxing wasn't sad about it, because he had gotten used to things like that during the past five years. Right now, he had nothing but the intention of killing in his heart. 

He didn't betray anyone, but someone wanted him dead. In this case, he didn't think that he needed to show any mercy. In the post-apocalypse world, only the powerful ones could survive until the end. Out of the base, killing was allowed. 

Clang!

Before Yang Cheng could respond, Long Qingying pulled out her katana and pointed it at him. Meanwhile, she said to Du Yuanxing, "Cut the crap! If you're not gonna do it, I'll do it for you!" Her face was cold and gaze was sharp. The strong intention of killing was radiating from her entire body. 

"No. You've said that you'll let me handle him," Du Yuanxing took a step forward and raised an arm to stop Long Qingying. His eyes were fixed on Yang Cheng, with one hand sparkling with electric light. 

Seeing Du Yuanxing's move, Yang Cheng automatically took a step backward and shouted in panic, "Wait for a second! If you kill me, you'd be dead once you're out of this space! Huo Wu will burn all of you!" 

He was a level lower than Du Yuanxing. Even though he was already at the peak of level-four, his power still couldn't be compared with Du Yuanxing's, not to mention the fact that the latter's electric power was perfect for attacking. 

"He'll try to burn us whether we kill you or not!" Du Yuanxing curved his lips in a sarcastic smile. However, his eyes were showing no trace of joy, but only the cold, murderous intention. 

Nevertheless, as he prepared to launch a lethal attack, he paused suddenly, then turned his head to look at the electric currents on his hands with an expression of confusion. 

There were electric currents on his hands indeed, but why couldn't he throw them out? He refused to believe this, so he swung his arm toward Yang Cheng again. 

However, nothing happened…
