LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 36: Ao Ba, Die!
Chapter 36: Ao Ba, Die!
The Ao Ba family was merely a trivial matter, not worth his personal intervention.
The most terrifying aspect of an alchemist lies in their connections. A call to arms from a high-ranking alchemist can rally a multitude of strong allies.
Although he is currently only a fourth-grade alchemist, his capabilities in this regard have begun to show promise.
Xiao Zhan and the three elders were delighted upon hearing this. This matter must be handled beautifully!
Meanwhile, Jia Lie Bi and Ao Ba were in a dilapidated house near the Xiao family.
"It's strange, what's going on? Why hasn't there been any news of Han Li appearing at the Xiao family?" Ao Ba frowned deeply, cursing the inefficiency of those assigned to surveillance in his heart.
Jia Lie Bi was also puzzled. Logically, this situation should not have occurred.
Just then, someone knocked on the door of the room.
"Come in," Jia Lie Bi said.
Seeing the visitor, Jia Lie Bi narrowed his eyes.
This person was arranged by Jia Lie Bi to liaise with the Xiao family nearby, responsible for conveying messages from the Xiao family.
But according to the plan, he should not have appeared at this time.
The visitor seemed to understand Jia Lie Bi's confusion and subtly signaled with his eyes.
He bowed to the two men and said, "Clan leader, Lord Ao Ba, I just saw Han Li entering the Xiao family through the side door. It seems Han Li had first gone to the market because of the journey, so he entered through the side door."
Jia Lie Bi instantly understood, a trace of cold sweat unknown to others crossing his forehead.
It must have been Han Li who discovered the ambush and somehow managed to evade all surveillance to enter the Xiao family.
The Xiao family, in order to proceed with the plan normally, conveyed the message in such a veiled manner.
Jia Lie Bi felt somewhat relieved at this moment, grateful that he had chosen to surrender.
Otherwise, today his Jia Lie Bi clan would inevitably face annihilation. The means of a fourth-grade alchemist were simply not something they could speculate on.
"So that's how it is," Ao Ba, still in the dark, nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. If there had been a problem with this ambush, causing Han Li to escape, then they could just wait for death.
Jia Lie Bi glanced at Ao Ba without making a sound, relieved to see that he hadn't noticed anything amiss.
He cursed inwardly, "Idiot."
Jia Lie Bi adjusted himself and said to the person in front of him, "Well done, continue to keep watch."
Saying so, he gave him a look.
The person understood, nodded, "Yes," and then left the place.
Half an hour later, Su Yun left the Xiao family and appeared at the Xiao family's gate.
Walking slowly on the road, as if he knew nothing.
The person keeping watch was overjoyed, "Quick, inform the clan leader!"
Jia Lie Bi and Ao Ba immediately received the message.
The two looked at each other, "Let's go!"
It didn't take long for Su Yun to reach a secluded place.
At that moment, people hidden in the shadows slowly emerged from the gloomy corners.
Leading them were Jia Lie Bi and Ao Ba.
Ao Ba smiled sinisterly. "Master Han Li, long time no see."
Su Yun sneered inwardly, but his exterior remained calm.
"Oh, you two, with such a grand setup, what are you planning to do?"
"What are we planning to do? How come, at this point, Master Han is still pretending to be confused?"
Ao Ba let out a cackling laugh.
Villains die from talking too much.
Su Yun chuckled lightly, too lazy to waste words with him.
"If that's the case, there's nothing more to say."
Seeing Su Yun still defiant to the end, Ao Ba couldn't help but become annoyed.
"Hmph, everyone, attack! Send Master Han to hell!"
A moment of satisfaction flashed through Ao Ba's heart, the fourth-grade alchemist he couldn't reach before was going to die by his hand today.
Cackle!
Before Ao Ba's laughter lasted long, Jia Lie Bi behind him struck out with a palm.
"Wind Palm!"
Jia Lie Bi's palm hit Ao Ba's back, catching him completely off guard and knocking him to the ground.
Ao Ba lay on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his internal organs shifted, severely injured.
"You, you... Jia Lie Bi, you betrayed me!"
Screams were heard around them, and Ao Ba hurriedly looked up. This sight made Ao Ba's anger surge.
It turned out that people from the Jia Lie Bi clan had just ambushed the Ao Ba clan members.
Jia Lie Bi sneered, the moment he attacked Ao Ba was the signal.
As he made his move, his clan members would simultaneously attack the Ao Ba clan members.
Footsteps were heard all around, and the Xiao family arrived! Chaos ensued as the Xiao and Jia Lie Bi clans joined forces to slaughter the Ao Ba clan members.
Already at a disadvantage in numbers, the Ao Ba clan was now caught off guard and injured, making the situation completely one-sided.
"Wind Palm!"
Jia Lie Bi struck again, this time hitting Ao Ba on the forehead.
"You..."
Ao Ba's eyes widened in disbelief, pointing at Jia Lie Bi, he died unwillingly.
Jia Lie Bi sighed in relief, now there were no witnesses.
Although he came to surrender, he had planned this event.
If exposed, he couldn't guarantee that Han Li wouldn't exterminate his Jia Lie Bi clan as well.
Su Yun watched from the side, uninterested, and waited for the dust to settle.
In no time, most of the Ao Ba clan members were killed on the spot, and some fled. The Xiao and Jia Lie Bi clans sent people to pursue them.
Xiao Zhan approached Su Yun.
"Master Han, this is not the place to talk. How about we move to my Xiao family's residence?"
Su Yun nodded, leaving the scene with Xiao Zhan, and Jia Lie Bi hurriedly followed.
The other three elders of the Xiao family didn't follow; they were chasing the survivors.
The Xiao family's eldest elder wanted a Gathering Qi Pill, so he was very motivated and took the lead.
These three elders of the Xiao family usually stuck together, and the eldest elder dragged the other two with him.
Arriving at the Xiao family's hall, after sitting down, Xiao Zhan clapped his hands, and a girl around fifteen or sixteen years old came over to make tea for Su Yun.
"This is the eldest elder's granddaughter, Xiao Yu."
"Nice to meet you, Master Han."
Hmm?
Su Yun was a bit surprised, Xiao Yu?
Though curious, Su Yun kept a calm demeanor and nodded.
"Ah, the eldest elder's granddaughter."
Those legs... Hmm, they are quite long.
Xiao Yu was nervous, as it was her first time being so close to such a prominent figure.
Although she had seen Su Yun before, it was only from a distance when he arrived.
Su Yun took the tea cup from Xiao Yu's hand, waved his hand, and had Xiao Yu step back.
"Thanks to the Xiao and Jia Lie Bi families this time, otherwise, I might have been in great danger."
Xiao Zhan and Jia Lie Bi hurriedly waved their hands.
Though Su Yun said this, they didn't dare take it seriously. With Su Yun's skill in evading the sentinels, he could have escaped without their help.
