Chapter 140: Chapter 140
After walking for a distance, Zhang Xiaohao’s brows were tightly furrowed.
In such a large lake park, with sparse human presence apart from a few people he had seen at the entrance, the people he encountered along the way were strange, each carrying a faint aura of violence.
Although it was well-concealed, Zhang Xiaohao spotted it at a glance. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚫𝙣𝙚𝙩
Upon reaching First-tier Sky, Zhang Xiaohao stopped.
Two artificial boulders, each three meters high, stood opposite each other, forming a straight line like a giant sword piercing the sky.
According to the description in the envelope, this was the exact spot where both parties had agreed to meet.
"Could it really have been exposed already?" Zhang Xiaohao thought to himself.
He channeled his Soul Power and, using First-tier Sky as the center, scanned the surroundings in search of the secret signals for the rendezvous.
"Eh! Why is there nothing? Could it be that the other party has already been targeted, or perhaps, this place has become a trap set by the enemy?" Zhang Xiaohao speculated.
He pondered for a while.
Zhang Xiaohao decided that no matter what, since Mr. Xu had entrusted him with such importance, this mission must be of utmost significance. Even if it meant tearing a hole in the sky, he was determined to bring the person back safely.
Controlling his Soul Power, he left a special secret signal at the agreed "place," which, when translated with a special code, read "Moer Wheel Hotel," the very name of the five-star hotel where he was staying.
With these signals in place, he was confident that as long as the other party saw them, they would leave a noticeable signal at the hotel. Once he met them, Zhang Xiaohao had a hundred ways to bring them back to the country safely.
As for the concern that the secret signal might be discovered by enemies lurking in the shadows, Zhang Xiaohao was not worried at all!
The signal he used was known only to three people: himself, Mr. Xu, and "007." Even if someone else got hold of it, they wouldn’t be able to decrypt it.
After attending to the matter, Zhang Xiaohao retracted his Soul Power and prepared to leave the area.
Heavy and murderous footsteps approached from all around, centering on Zhang Xiaohao. More than thirty burly men with various outfits coldly surrounded him without expressions on their faces.
"As expected, they’ve shown up. It seems this mission isn’t as straightforward as it appears," Zhang Xiaohao thought to himself.
The group of people stopped three meters away from Zhang Xiaohao, coldly encircling him.
A middle-aged woman with white hair, dressed in a black tight-fitting leather suit and wearing small leather boots, walked towards him with a face full of killing intent.
"After waiting for such a long time, we finally caught a small fry! As long as we capture you, everything related to the S-class medical data will be resolved," the white-haired woman said as she pulled out a cigar. A large man respectfully lit it for her as she looked at Zhang Xiaohao with amusement.
"Who are you? What do you want? I warn you not to mess around, or I’ll call the police!" Zhang Xiaohao pretended to be scared as he said this.
"Tsk tsk! Not a bad act, but too bad you’re wearing a monkey mask. Otherwise, with your acting skills, winning an Oscar wouldn’t be a problem," the white-haired woman exhaled a puff of smoke.
"I don’t know what you’re talking about. As long as you don’t kill me, I can pay you whatever amount you want," Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Keep acting! Keep it up! I want to see how long you can keep this up!" the white-haired woman mocked.
"You... you wouldn’t be interested in me because I’m handsome and strong, would you? I’ll have you know, I’d rather die than submit!" Zhang Xiaohao said, crossing his arms over his chest.
"Bullshit!" the white-haired woman snapped, "Boy, you’ve got some nerve! Falling into my hands and still so arrogant! You’re the first. Come on! Take him down! I want to see how he’s going to escape surrounded by Heaven and Earth Net!"
With a wave of her hand, the white-haired woman stepped back, leaving her subordinates to take the stage.
Cries of wild wolves, elephant trumpets, and tiger roars came from the mouths of the thirty-plus burly men.
At the same time, these cold-blooded men swiftly transformed.
Signs of various wild beasts appeared on their bodies; wolf claws, tiger teeth, and so on.
A low roar exploded from their mouths as they sprang forward, claws waving, and with a burst of wind from their strikes, lunged at Zhang Xiaohao.
"You really hold me in high regard, sending so many beasts after me! Unfortunately, they have only the strength of the Body Tempering Realm!" Zhang Xiaohao said indifferently.
Since he could no longer keep up the act, it was time to fight back and turn the situation upside down.
"Like a shower of golden rain, Golden Needle!" Zhang Xiaohao snorted coldly.
He flicked his fingers, twirling them upwards suddenly, and with a sharp flick, needle-shaped beams of golden light shot out from between his fingers.
Swish, swish, swish...
They pierced precisely into the Tianling acupoints of these beasts.
The human-shaped beasts, hit by the Golden Needles in the Tianling acupoint, halted their charge instantly. With blank stares, they collapsed with a thud to the ground, lifeless.
In just one strike, more than thirty burly men were taken down.
"Now it’s your turn!" Zhang Xiaohao said calmly as he approached the white-haired woman.
Seeing her subordinates all dead, the white-haired woman was not particularly shocked; she clapped nonchalantly.
"Quite the hidden depth! No wonder you dare to target our S-class medical data. But you’ve met me today, and even if you were incredibly powerful, you wouldn’t escape from the palm of my hand!" she said arrogantly.
"Kneel!" Zhang Xiaohao’s lips curled up in a smirk hidden beneath his mask.
In a blink, he was right in front of her.
As she looked at him in astonishment,
"Oh! Mama mia! Ow..."
Women can feel pain, too!
With her mouth shaped like an "O," she bent over dramatically, sweat pouring down as she cried out in pain.
"Huh! You actually resisted. But since I told you to kneel, even if you merged all the animal genes, you still have to kneel!" Zhang Xiaohao sneered.
His right foot flashed with golden light as he brutally kicked again.
"Oh..." The tremendous force sent the white-haired woman flying up in the air.
Three seconds later, the white-haired woman crashed to the ground, her legs firmly kneeling, writhing in agony.
"I’ll give you a chance to live. Tell me everything you know, and perhaps I will spare your life," Zhang Xiaohao said.
