Chapter 312: Chapter 312

Li Tianyao clenched his fists and swung forcefully, smashing them hard against the door. However, due to the building’s limitations on his abilities, his punch only left an imprint on the wood!

Just then, An Yan had completed the disinfection process and was about to start the surgery.

"Little girl, stop!" Li Tianyao shouted.

Lu Feng and Lin Ling, who had been following him closely, also shouted in unison, "Miss, you can’t perform the surgery! Stop!!!"

While Lin Ling was shouting, Lu Feng quickly took out his tools and tried to pick the lock. But for some reason, no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn’t open it.

Meanwhile, An Yan had already picked up the scalpel and was making an incision on Luo Zi’ang’s skin.

Lin Ling heard the Ninth Master’s voice; he was roaring like a wounded beast. His heart tightened, and a flicker of panic appeared in his eyes. "Ninth..."

His words had barely left his mouth when Lu Feng, beside him, grabbed his arm and shook his head.

Lin Ling immediately understood. Lu Feng’s assessment was the same as his: The Ninth Master was having an episode.

So, at this moment, there was nothing they could do; they had to maintain absolute silence.

Fortunately, Miss An Yan was inside the building.

The building was very strange, like a sealed iron container.

As long as the door remains closed, the Ninth Master shouldn’t be able to get in... No, how did the Ninth Master suddenly start climbing the wall? The rıghtful source is novel※fire.net

Lin Ling slowly pointed, signaling Lu Feng to look.

On the second floor, in the room where Miss An Yan was, a window had opened!

Before, the entire exterior wall had seemed like a single, solid structure. When had that window appeared? It had to be that Buddha Father. He must have anticipated they would come here. Did he want the Ninth Master to enter that room? To see Miss An Yan get blown up by the bomb inside Old Master Luo’s body? Did he want to use this method to trigger the Ninth Master’s episode? Despicable!

Lu Feng clenched his jaw, nervously watching Li Tianyao.

He hoped Li Tianyao wouldn’t go there. He hoped that the Ninth Master, having his episode prematurely, would forget about the Miss in that room. Even more, he hoped Miss An Yan would sense the danger and not proceed with Luo Zi’ang’s surgery.

But clearly, his prayers went unanswered.

Their master, as agile as a monkey, quickly scaled the wall to the second floor.

And An Yan’s scalpel had already made the first incision into Luo Zi’ang’s skin.

It was an open-chest surgery. An Yan had performed many such operations before and was quite adept. But this time, she was extraordinarily careful, as the bomb could detonate at any moment.

The Clairvoyance Technique had a time limit. She didn’t dare keep it activated constantly, only using it for a few seconds at critical moments to take a quick glance.

The noise made An Yan stop what she was doing. She turned her head and froze.

"Li Tianyao? How did you get here?"

Li Tianyao tilted his head but didn’t respond or react.

An Yan seemed to realize something. She slowly put down the scalpel and smiled at him. "Husband?"

Li Tianyao furrowed his brow.

An Yan persisted, "Husband, don’t worry. I’ll operate on Grandpa first. It’ll be quick..."

Suddenly, Li Tianyao moved. His large, well-defined hand shot out like a vise, aiming for her delicate neck.

Wen Ya, in her alarm, stumbled forward to shield An Yan.

His large hand flung her aside without hesitation and continued its relentless attack on An Yan.

"Ninth Master, that’s the Miss!" Wen Ya shouted.

She knew one shouldn’t make a sound when the Ninth Master was having an episode, but if she didn’t speak up, the Miss would be strangled!

Li Tianyao turned his head to look at her.

An Yan seized the opportunity to leap onto the windowsill. "Husband, come chase me! If you catch me, I’ll let you... hehehe..."

Wen Ya and Wen Ge: "..."

Miss, this is not the time for jokes!

Li Tianyao, who should have completely lost his senses, couldn’t help the corner of his mouth from twitching.

Seeing him look her way, An Yan jumped down, channeling all her strength into speed, and shot out of the compound like a gust of wind.

Li Tianyao immediately gave chase!

The Buddha Father, watching via surveillance: "..."

This isn’t right. In his plan, Li Tianyao was supposed to either enter the cage or go find An Yan. Then he would witness An Yan being injured by the explosion. Only then would he go completely mad. A crazed Li Tianyao would then slaughter all of his men. He was waiting for Li Tianyao to finish off his men. Then, he would activate the mechanism in the small building and trap Li Tianyao inside. To do with him as he pleased. But now, Li Tianyao had descended into madness prematurely, and An Yan hadn’t yet been injured by the bomb. To prevent Li Tianyao from killing his subordinates, she had even led Li Tianyao away!

"An Yan! Are you my nemesis? Otherwise, why does everything go wrong whenever I encounter you?" The Buddha Father muttered to himself, his eyes narrowing.

Gu Xiu, in the command center, saw two blurred figures and immediately began typing on his keyboard, trying to track them. Unfortunately, the cameras he had installed around the compound were of little use. The two figures were too fast. They darted out of the compound in the blink of an eye, completely beyond his surveillance range. And at that moment, he couldn’t afford to indulge his curiosity. Because the battle was still raging, and the Self-Defense Army’s firepower was unexpectedly fierce!

"Hold the line! No one retreats!" Gu Xiu yelled.

They had only just managed to establish a foothold here. If the Self-Defense Army gained the upper hand now, how could they continue to call the shots in Country D?

"Win this battle, and everyone gets a reward of one hundred thousand gold!"

With such a large reward offered, the band of desperados became even more ferocious.

The Lu and Gong families were also engaged in a deadly struggle with the Self-Defense Army. The Zhao Family, meanwhile, took this opportunity to forcefully seize the peripheral industries of the Lu and Gong families. When the Zhao Family made its move, the smaller factions previously bullied and encroached upon by the Lu and Gong families also began to stir. These smaller forces then galvanized a band of gangsters unwilling to remain at the bottom. They swarmed the streets, engaging in destruction, looting, and arson...

Country D was suddenly plunged into chaos!

「Country D. Plantation Zone.」

Several mountain ranges stretched out, their slopes covered in terraced fields. These fields cultivated crops strictly prohibited within Country Z’s borders.

Night had fallen. A cold, pale moon hung high in the sky. The fields were silent. Yet, from the villages nestled among the fields, a continuous stream of noise emanated. Each village had factories, busy processing and refining various crops into products destined for markets worldwide.

An Yan pressed herself beneath the eaves of a factory. She suppressed her breathing, moving as silently as possible to minimize her presence.

The rumbling of machinery and the occasional voices of workers drew Li Tianyao’s attention. He stood there, looking around, as if searching for the figure he had been pursuing. However, he found no one.

He clenched his fist and smashed it towards a row of buildings in front of him.

In the night sky, the massive shadow of a fist descended heavily.

The entire factory, along with a large area of surrounding residential buildings, was instantly demolished by his strike.

An Yan’s eyes widened in shock. This was the first time she had witnessed the aftermath of Li Tianyao’s full-power attack.

The factory workers and the residents of the collapsed buildings were startled by the sudden devastation. The injured and uninjured alike were thrown into chaos. A cacophony of shouts, cries, and calls for help filled the air.
