Chapter 795: Chapter 795: Falling into an Ambush
“I knew you were well-prepared, kid, haha, well then, I’ll just wait and watch the show.” Song Tian nodded, Ye Shikai was just like his old man, though somewhat inscrutable, he was nonetheless an excellent Commander.
“Since it’s a task given to me by Mr. Song, of course, I will complete it, but you must follow my commands, especially your police officers.”
“Don’t worry, I’ve already talked to them.”
“That’s good.” Ye Shikai nodded, looked down at his watch, and saw that there was only one minute left until seven o’clock. In fact, due to the high buzz of the demon exorcist news, the post from yesterday had already caused a stir in Yanjing, and Chen Lianfang’s information had also been dug up by netizens. To prevent unnecessary accidents, Ye Shikai had previously ordered the police to set up a cordon to prevent the public from interfering with the arrest operation, but he had not enforced a complete ‘Clearing the Field’ to avoid spooking the target.
Three, two, one, seven o’clock arrived.
A sound of breaking glass echoed, and Ye Shikai’s nerves instantly tensed up.
“What’s going on, all the monitors are jammed,” Zhang Ting called to Ye Shikai through the headset.
“Don’t worry, I was expecting this. The one that smashed the window just now was a signal jammer, he doesn’t want us to see what’s happening inside.” Ye Shikai spoke indifferently, if everything went as expected, the two officers at the door should have already charged in.
“Miss Chen, be careful.”
Two flashes of silver shot out, and two fine silver needles appeared on the necks of the policemen, following the disappearance of the silver light, both officers slowly fell to the ground, anesthetized by the needles. Since the culprit claimed to be an agent of punishment for evil, he certainly wouldn’t kill policemen; otherwise, it would lead to criticism.
“No… don’t,” Chen Lianfang’s hands loosened, dropping the pot straight to the floor, soup splashing everywhere.
“In the name of the Lord, judgment begins.” In front of Chen Lianfang, a man in black appeared, a black hood covering most of his head, and also wearing a black mask, holding a dagger that gleamed with silver light, he slowly stepped forward. Chen Lianfang fell back onto the ground, her face full of horror.
“No… please… don’t kill me.”
The reply to Chen Lianfang’s plea was the sharp blade of the masked man, who, almost instantly, rushed forward, just a meter away from Chen Lianfang, the tip of the knife aimed at her neck, in a flash, the blade’s tip touched her nose, and then, in that split second, a glint flashed in Chen Lianfang’s eyes.
Two blades collided, sparks flying, in Chen Lianfang’s hands was also a dagger, under the black mask, the man’s brow furrowed, his expression grave as he stumbled back several steps, managing to completely avoid the dagger attack at such close range, the man in black’s skill was indeed extraordinary.
And what shocked him the most, was the identity of the woman in front of him, oh, no, rather it was the imposter’s identity.
“You’re not Chen Lianfang, who are you?” The man in black let out a hoarse roar.
“That’s the question I’d like to ask you, who are you, actually?” Chen Lianfang reached to her neck and pulled hard, throwing off a facial mask to reveal a beautiful face.
“One with a thousand faces, Illusion Fox.” The man uttered coldly after a glance.
“So you recognize me.” Yes, the woman impersonating Chen Lianfang was indeed Illusion Fox, naturally, this was arranged by Ye Shikai, if not for her impersonation of Chen Lianfang, perhaps the demon exorcist would’ve seen through it at a glance.
“It seems you’re now a hound for the Netherworld Palace too, no wonder he can summon even you.”
“Your information seems to be outdated.” Illusion Fox clenched the dagger and took a combat stance.
“Looks like today I’ll have to cleanse one more demon.” The man in black suddenly lunged forward, thrusting the dagger straight at Illusion Fox’s chest.
Suddenly, a figure shot out and slammed between the two, fending off the man in black with a sweeping motion. Find the newest release on novel⁂fire.net
Two dark halberds and a white robe standing in front of Illusion Fox, if it wasn’t Nightmare, then who else could it be?
“Since you knew it was the Netherworld Palace making a move, you shouldn’t be surprised to see me,” Nightmare said coldly.
“Nightmare, I didn’t expect you to show up too.”
“You claim to be God’s Messenger, specializing in cleansing demons, then let’s see today if you can catch this Nightmare.” As soon as the words were out, Nightmare’s body surged forward, the halberds fierce with killing intent. The demon exorcist immediately stepped back to dodge and then counterattacked with a swing of the dagger.
“Child’s play.” Nightmare deflected the dagger with the halberds, an inch longer, an inch stronger, not to mention Nightmare’s strength reigned supreme as the leader of the Four Netherworld Generals. Within a mere dozen moves, the demon exorcist was put at a disadvantage.
“I’ll join too.” Illusion Fox pulled out a soft whip from his waist and lashed out fiercely. The demon exorcist was very fast, and the whip struck a chair behind him, shattering the solid mahogany into pieces.
“Damn it.” The demon exorcist’s face showed a vicious intent as he hastily threw out a flashbang from his pocket. In the blinding light, Nightmare and Illusion Fox quickly protected themselves to prevent the demon exorcist from launching a sneak attack. However, in this brief gap, the demon exorcist had already retreated over ten meters.
“Where do you think you’re going now?”
At this moment, a chilling voice rose from the shattered window, and a person suddenly appeared by the window.
Indeed, the newcomer was Ye Shikai, standing alone, blocking the demon exorcist’s escape route.
“Mr. Ye, nice to meet you.”
“Demon exorcist, that’s something I should be saying to you, it seems you should have seen me before, only I haven’t had the honor to see your true face,” Ye Shikai said indifferently. He had Illusion Fox disguise as Chen Lianfang, and set Nightmare to ambush in another room, waiting to capture the demon exorcist as soon as he arrived. Ye Shikai had kept a step ahead, knowing the demon exorcist was strong but since it was an assassination attempt, he only carried a light weapon, therefore he could not beat the two of them and would certainly flee, and that’s when Ye Shikai would cut off his retreat.
“Mr. Ye, it looks like you’re really determined to battle it out with me,” the demon exorcist replied coldly without panic.
“No no no, that’s not what I meant, if you surrender now, I won’t have to fight you.” Ye Shikai threw a pair of handcuffs on the ground.
“If that’s the case, we have nothing left to discuss. Today I failed to eliminate a demon, I suppose people online will start criticizing me now, is this what you wanted?”
