Chapter 288: Chapter 288

Someone was shooting and approaching him, gun raised.

Normal people would dodge, but Li Tianyao didn’t even make a move to evade. He faced the barrel of the gun, grabbed it, and flung the shooter away.

With a gun in hand, his combat power soared!

In the blink of an eye, the rooftop was empty.

*Is Li Tianyao even human? Even with a bulletproof vest, can someone really be that strong?*

*Why can’t he be that strong? Li Tianyao is an Ancient Martial Cultivator. You know about Ancient Martial Arts, right? It’s like those heroes from martial arts novels who can fly around!*

*!!! I’ve heard of it before, but I never imagined an Ancient Martial Cultivator could be this formidable!!*

「Luocheng. An Family.」

The large screen in the living room displayed live footage from the hospital where An Yan was.

An Yaoluo and An Zhongbo sat side by side on the sofa, their hearts pounding so hard they felt like they would leap out of their throats.

"It’s not Yanyan, Dad! That woman who fell from the building isn’t Yanyan. Don’t panic," An Yaoluo said quickly, her voice trembling slightly.

"I’m not panicking. I saw it," An Zhongbo replied, his gaze fixed on the screen.

"Li Tianyao is so strong! He’s incredible!!" An Yaoluo continued to exclaim, her voice filled with a mix of fear and admiration.

Since Li Tianyao is so strong, he can definitely protect Yanyan and won’t let anything happen to her. His current rampage is actually to avenge Yanyan! Yes, that must be it. Official source ıs NoveI★Fire.net

"Dad, Axuan sent a message! Yanyan is fine!" An Yaoluo suddenly exclaimed, relief washing over her before anger took its place. "Those bastards, they’re deleting the video of the fake An Yan being pushed off the building!"

"I’ve seen it, I’ve seen it," An Zhongbo confirmed, his eyes already scanning An Duxuan’s social media feed. He then ordered, "Hurry and share it! Notify all An Corporation employees to do the same. Make it impossible for them to delete it!"

「Luocheng. Tan Boxing Gym.」

Tan Yanzhe stared at Li Tianyao’s heroic figure on the screen.

He finally understood: the Ancient Martial Arts expert in the operating room that day was none other than the president of the Li Consortium!

Thinking back to the operating room where he had briefly clashed with Li Tianyao—no, when Li Tianyao had merely grabbed his clothes—an inexplicable sense of pride welled up within him.

*An Ancient Martial Cultivator, eh? Someone who can even Teleport. How could they be pushed back by the impact of a bullet?*

Tan Yanzhe decisively shared the video of the fake An Yan being pushed off the building on his social media feed. He also tagged all his friends, urging them to share it as well.

*They wanted to use Miss An Yan’s death to provoke Li Tianyao! Now that they’ve achieved their goal, they’ve started deleting the video. Those who don’t want to be deceived, back me up! video on your own social media feeds and let your friends and family see.*

*What the hell! First, they used the lives of 300 children as bait, and now they’re using Miss An Yan’s life as bait. Inhumane!*

*Sob... Miss An Yan died such a wrongful death!*

*Go, Li Tianyao! Kill all those bastards!!*

*I’m furious! Li Tianyao, you’ve got this!*

「Luocheng University.」

Su Siming’s followers were also busy sharing his social media posts.

*Our classmate! The An Yan who was pushed off the building is a student at our Luocheng University!*

*An Yan was an outstanding student, both academically and morally. She had published many papers and was truly new blood in the medical field...*

*The murderer must be severely punished!*

*Share it! Don’t let them hide what they want to cover up!*

Lu Feng, Lin Ling, and all the other bodyguards were hanging outside the building, each holding their breath.

Once Ninth Master had an episode, no one could control him unless he exhausted his strength. Now that all the enemies were dealt with, and he was still full of vigor, all they could do was wait.

Li Tianyao stood on the rooftop. Behind him was a boundless darkness.

A gust of wind brushed past, lifting his trench coat, making it rustle. In the midst of the night, only his skin was blindingly white. His lips were as red as blood, as if the god of death himself had descended to Earth.

He started down the stairs, descending one floor after another, until he finally reached the floor where the masked man had been.

Countless people pointed their guns at him. Yet he showed no fear, walking forward slowly and steadily.

Bullets struck his body. Most caused no harm, and on the rare occasion one injured him, the wound healed rapidly.

The enemies, filled with terror, retreated step by step.

Gun after gun was seized and snapped by his grip; one person after another died by his hand.

At last, Li Tianyao entered the room where the masked man was supposed to have been. The commanding masked man was no longer there.

Inside the room were two tall, expressionless men. Seeing Li Tianyao enter, they charged at him without a word. They were agile and perfectly coordinated.

A few minutes later, Li Tianyao was injured. However, one of them was struck by the force of Li Tianyao’s palm strike, and half of his ear fell off. Beneath it, a startling array of electronic components was visible.

A hybrid of the Living Dead and machines, An Yan thought, her heart sinking as she watched the footage Luolie sent back. She immediately realized that this time, Li Tianyao might have truly met his match.

The Living Dead were nimble, felt no pain, and lacked intelligence. Their combat relied solely on instinct. But now, these had brains. This was tricky, especially since there were two of them.

Even though Li Tianyao had the upper hand, he still couldn’t find a way to defeat them due to their teamwork. The situation had reached a stalemate.

"If this drags on, he’ll eventually run out of strength, but they will never tire! Duxuan, I have to go," An Yan said, her voice firm.

"What are you going to do?" An Duxuan, who had already joined An Yan, disagreed. "Your kung fu isn’t as good as Li Tianyao’s!"

"I can contain one of them, so that Li Tianyao can—"

"And then what?" An Duxuan interrupted. "After Li Tianyao defeats those two, what then? He doesn’t recognize anyone! Do you want to die by his hand?"

Everyone disagreed with An Yan’s idea.

Ling Xiao interjected, "You stay put! I’ll go!"

An Yan retorted, "And what skills do you have to make you the one to go?"

"I may not be able to fight them head-on," Ling Xiao argued, "but I can use other methods as a distraction! As long as I draw one away, the pressure on Li Tianyao will be greatly reduced!"

"I can create a distraction too!" An Yan countered. "Anything you can think of, I can devise as well—perhaps even better. Ling Xiao, you’ve never been as smart as me!"

Ling Xiao was speechless. Are you resorting to personal attacks at a time ? he thought, bewildered.

"I know you’re all worried about me, but no one is more suitable for this than I am," An Yan said, turning to An Duxuan. "Duxuan, if there’s anyone in this world who can awaken him, it has to be me!"

An Duxuan slapped her shoulder, exclaiming furiously, "And you dare believe a man’s lies?"

An Yan didn’t dodge, taking the slap. "Duxuan, you know I can’t just stand by and watch them kill Li Tianyao. Let me go! Please, trust me, won’t you?"

Li Tianyao was an Undying, but this immortality was contingent on his ability to heal from his wounds. If his brain was destroyed, if he was burned, if his body was physically obliterated, how could he still be immortal? Li Qingqing was a case in point.

"No! You can’t bear to watch Li Tianyao die, but you expect us to stand by and watch you die?" An Duxuan retorted, his voice harsh with worry.

"I won’t die," An Yan insisted. "Li Tianyao won’t kill me!"

"How can you guarantee that?"
