Chapter 500: 325. The Disappearing Qing Chen
In the middle of the long street, Li Changqing was almost exhausted, retreating while fighting.
At this moment, the Jindai family experts surrounding her had reduced from eight to two.
Many people have a misconception about Bagua Palm, thinking that this martial art is about using softness to overcome strength, but in reality, the moves of Bagua Palm are wild, targeting vital points with each strike, covering both high and low levels, light yet lethal like swirling leaves.
In the Outer World, most martial arts sparring ends up in Asshole Punches, where the one who swings their arm with more force wins.
However, that happens when the practitioners’ own strength, speed, and reflexes cannot match the techniques; now, with Bagua Palm executed by the A-Class Li Changqing, it looked completely different.
Perhaps this was the true elegance of Bagua Palm.
Hu’s Information Agency was a neutral intelligence organization, surviving between the cracks of conglomerates due to their orthodox cultivation methods.
Yet, no one expected that a member of the Li Family, Li Changqing, would become a Director of Hu’s Information Agency.
The next moment, a B-Class Genetic Warrior, seeing that Li Changqing was exhausted, viciously pursued her.
Li Changqing ran towards the end of the long street, but as the opponent was about to close in, she suddenly turned around.
Her fair hands moved like threading a needle, slipping through the B-Class Genetic Warrior’s arms and, like holding flowers, her palms forcefully pushed up against the warrior’s jawbone, sending him flying with inch-strength.
The force of the B-Class Genetic Warrior’s charge combined with the force of her palms—he actually heard his own neck bone breaking, dead before even hitting the ground!
Hidden Tiger in the Leaves!
The Jindai family A-Class expert, who was waiting to take advantage of that moment, hesitated after seeing this clean counter-kill from a desperate situation, and dared not step forward.
He feared that Li Changqing’s tired expression was a ruse.
Gunfire from above the long street had ceased at some unknown time.
Li Changqing, exhausted, stood in the middle of the street and looked back; Jindai Tongwu’s trail had vanished without a trace.
She wasn’t surprised, as this was a trap set by the Jindai family, and them planning an escape route in advance was expected.
Yet, even if Jindai Tongwu returned to his clan, he would face severe punishment.
If he had actually killed Li Changqing tonight, the moment internal conflict erupts, changing key personnel in the Li Family’s information system could be terrifying and might even cause the entire system to shut down.
But since he failed to kill Li Changqing, all losses would be borne by Jindai Tongwu, the executor.
Li Changqing then looked towards the Jinmao Tower two kilometers away, pondering whether the sniper had left or encountered danger.
She knew well that after dealing with all the Jindai family snipers, the sniper could have left.
As a sniper, having done this much was already sufficient.
But the sniper hadn’t left; those empty shots were fired to suppress the enemy for her.
However, doing so also put the sniper in danger.
Wang Bingxu had disappeared at some point, and this long-time B-Class expert companion of hers had most likely headed for the sniper in the Jinmao Tower.
Thinking of this, Li Changqing suddenly turned her head to the A-Class expert, “Your boss has run away, leaving just us two. I allow you to choose a way to die.”
However, upon hearing this, the A-Class expert did not continue fighting but turned and fled into the distance.
Tonight, this battle left not only Li Changqing and the mysterious sniper victorious, but it also broke the psychological defenses of that A-Class expert.
“Boss, should we chase him? I can drive,” Xiao Ying said from beside her.
Li Changqing shook her head, “Wake up Lao Shijiu, I have more important things to do.”
A-Classes are not that easy to kill. The Jindai Clan had invested so much, using seven B-Class Genetic Warriors and one A-Class expert, and yet they couldn’t kill Li Changqing quickly.
Moreover, Li Changqing was alone and after the fierce battle was simply unable to pursue the enemy.
The Jindai family’s A-Class expert, having conserved more energy than Li Changqing, now fled because he calculated the imminent arrival of the 081 Garrison’s Shield Defense Camp.
If Li Changqing recklessly pursued, she might well capsize in a ditch.
But that wasn’t the point.
Li Changqing now had to go to Jinmao Tower; she was worried about Qing Chen being in danger!
Compared to that, even pursuing Jindai Tongwu and the A-Class expert could wait.
By now, Li Changqing’s wig that she was wearing earlier had gone who knows where, and her black leather jacket had many tears due to the intense fighting.
She simply took off the leather jacket and threw it on the ground, feeling no cold while only wearing a black vest despite the harsh winter.
Li Changqing, , appeared even more spirited than usual.
“Cough, cough, cough,” Lao Shijiu woke up again.
She looked at Lao Shijiu, “Are you alright?”
“Shouldn’t die,” Lao Shijiu coughed and said, “Boss, don’t catch a cold.”
“I’m heading to Jinmao Tower first; we can talk about anything else later,” Li Changqing said and then ran toward Jinmao Tower.
Lao Shijiu became anxious, “The 081 Garrison’s Shield Defense Camp must be arriving soon; waiting here for rescue is the best choice.”
“No, I must go rescue first; you all stay here and wait obediently,” Li Changqing said and ran off into the distance.
