Chapter 180: No Pain, No Gain
"If he dies, I will die too!"
This thought flashed through Tang Yan's mind in an instant.
To see if Xiao Yun was really there... she slowly opened her eyes and looked ahead with difficulty. Am I dreaming?
The dust of the day had settled, and branches and leaves were falling. Standing proudly on the gravel path was a person, with the wind tousling his hair. The sunlight shone down on him, as if outlining him with a golden edge, and a brilliant smile floated on his face.
This person was none other than Xiao Yun.
"Xiao Yun—"
Tang Yan shouted and stumbled toward him.
She threw herself into his arms, crying like a child, exclaiming, "Xiao Yun, are you okay? I can't live without you, just like there can't be a sky without the earth; without you, there is no me..."
Xiao Yun immediately broke into a sweat; this woman was truly emotional!
He patted her delicate shoulder and said, "Sister Yan, I'm fine... see?"
His voice trembled slightly; he was moved by her tears.
After crying for a while, Tang Yan seemed to realize something. She quickly pulled away from his embrace, wiped the tears from her face, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and asked, "Then... what about Zombie Face?"
Zombie Face lay beside a large pit about ten feet away, clearly still alive, writhing like a pile of flesh without bones.
Tang Yan had no idea that when Zombie Face lunged at Xiao Yun, his continuous retreat was not due to being pressured by Zombie Face, but rather an attempt to draw it away, keeping as much distance as possible. Once he retreated to a safe distance, Xiao Yun unleashed a devastating blow towards Zombie Face—
His right fist!
That punch contained all the weight of the Ethereal Stone!
Xiao Yun did not strike directly at Wu Xiong, but instead hit the ground beside him. The sheer force of the punch shattered the bones within Wu Xiong.
He could draw bones, and he could destroy them!
Fortunately, Xiao Yun had also infused him with a dose of Heavenly Spirit Essence, preventing him from dying immediately.
“Help... help me...” A voice emerged from that writhing mass of flesh, surprisingly pleading for aid.
However, the voice had long lost its fierce dominance, sounding more like a deflating balloon with a pinprick.
Tang Yan felt a chill run down his spine; was this really the Zombie Face?
Xiao Yun leaped forward and kicked the pile of "flesh," asking, “Tell me, who sent you?”
“It was Lin Shusheng. He told me to find a secluded place to kill you both while you were on your way back!” Wu Xiong gasped for breath.
So it was Lin Shusheng!
This must be who he found after receiving the call from Chunmei.
Wu Xiong was originally from the Ancient Martial Arts Sect, where he trained under his master. He became infatuated with the Master's Wife, and one time, when the master was away, he took the opportunity to flirt with her. After the incident, he was driven down the mountain by his master in a fit of rage. From then on, he wandered in the city and, in order to make a living, ended up becoming a hitman.
A few years ago, he drifted to the Galaxy. Lin Shusheng was introduced to him by someone else.
"This heartless beast!" Tang Yan's face turned pale with anger.
Xiao Yun stared at Wu Xiong and asked again, "Did you cause Tang Yan's mother's paralysis?"
"Yes, yes, yes," Wu Xiong replied. "But... but it was all Lin Shusheng who paid me to do it; you can't blame me..."
Xiao Yun remained silent, searched Wu Xiong and found a phone, handing it to him while saying in a low voice, "Call Lin Shusheng and tell him that your task is done and that you need to see him immediately!"
"Okay... I'll call," Wu Xiong said as he followed Xiao Yun's instructions and dialed the number.
After he finished the call, Xiao Yun supported Tang Yan and said, "Sister Yan, let's go!"
Just as they walked a short distance—
Whoosh!
A sharp chill surged from behind them.
"Get down!" Xiao Yun's expression changed as he pushed Tang Yan aside and swiftly dodged to the side.
A long blade, about one meter in length, whistled sharply as it sliced through the air beside him, striking a nearby tree with a loud thud.
Wu Xiong surprisingly stood up from the ground, his eyes flashing with fierce light.
However, upon seeing his own blunder, he immediately became anxious, his Zombie Face devoid of color, trembling all over.
"Wu Xiong, if you don't seek death, you won't die. You're really asking for it!" Xiao Yun said with a bitter smile, shaking his head.
Actually, when Xiao Yun was pulling Tang Yan away, he secretly infused Wu Xiong with some Heavenly Spirit Essence. Although it couldn't restore the Bone within him, it at least allowed him to stand and take a few steps. He had originally hoped that this guy would manage to drive the car back after leaving the Ancient Martial Arts Sect and find a place to slowly recover his body, never to commit evil again. Unexpectedly, he seized the chance to stand and attempted to attack.
Such compassion was met with this kind of reward.
You repeatedly want me dead; of course, I will no longer show mercy... Xiao Yun's expression darkened.
Bang!
Xiao Yun flipped his palm, revealing a red center as he unleashed his internal energy, sending a gust of wind crashing into Wu Xiong.
"Ah—" Wu Xiong couldn't evade in time and let out a tragic scream as he fell to the ground like a broken piece of wood. Blood poured from his eyes, nostrils, and mouth, his eyes wide open as if he could not close them even in death.
Boom!
Fortunately, in the Storage Ring, the little bell had prepared many fireballs for him. He didn't mind wasting another one and casually tossed one over. A burst of flames erupted and quickly extinguished, leaving Wu Xiong's spirit completely extinguished in an instant...
A white Volkswagen Polo sped down the highway like a bolt of lightning.
“Xiao Yun, how did you make that Zombie Face disappear just now?” Tang Yan asked, still shaken, her body trembling at the thought of that scene.
Xiao Yun held the steering wheel with both hands, looking calm as he replied, “Heh, just a little trick... Oh, by the way, I usually keep a low profile, so please don’t mention this to anyone!”
“Of course not!”
Tang Yan, who had just escaped from death, thought to herself that it was ridiculous to even consider sharing such an experience. The kind of fighting scene she witnessed felt like something out of mythology; if she told others, they wouldn’t believe her and would think she was crazy.
Everything that happened today was thanks to Lin Shusheng. Just thinking about him made Tang Yan feel an urge to vomit as if she had swallowed a fly, and she couldn’t help but grit her teeth in anger.
The car entered the Galactic District.
A playful smile crept onto Xiao Yun's face as he said to Tang Yan, “Sister Yan, let’s go meet that Lin Shusheng!”
He had already devised a script in his mind for dealing with that scumbag Lin Shusheng.
……
“Hey, you’re so bad! Don’t touch me like that!”
“Haha, darling, I don’t know how many times I’ve been in your little hole here; why pretend to be serious?”
“Hmph, when can I be with you openly?”
"Don't worry, this will be quick. Come here, let me kiss you again..."
On the large round bed in the Lin family's bedroom, Lin Shusheng was embracing the Secretary he had brought back from the office, putting on quite a show...
Ding dong, ding dong...
Suddenly, the doorbell rang from the living room.
Ah!
The alluring Secretary was startled and pushed Lin Shusheng, who was lying on her, away. "Is your wife back?"
"Hehe, she won't be coming back!" Lin Shusheng hurriedly got out of bed and put on his clothes.
After receiving a call from Wu Xiong confirming success, Lin Shusheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He thought to himself, Tang Yan, I’m not divorcing you for my future; since you’re involved with another man, there’s no need for you to remain in this world.
Just before Wu Xiong arrived at the Provincial Capital, he had repeatedly instructed that this matter must be handled cleanly and without leaving any traces. According to Lin Shusheng's plan, he would have Wu Xiong wait until Tang Yan and Xiao Yun returned and then follow them. Once they found a secluded spot, they would take care of them both, load the bodies into a car, drive to a cliff, and push the car off. At that time, Wu Xiong would pretend to pass by and call the police.
Hehe, a couple caught in an affair falling off a cliff would surely make headlines. By then, when Tang Guoqiang hears the bad news, he would have no choice but to suffer in silence; he wouldn't be able to do anything to me, Lin Shusheng...
"Sweetheart, just lie in bed and wait for me. I need to meet someone in the living room." Lin Shusheng finished dressing and strode toward the living room.
As soon as he opened the door, Lin Shusheng's expression changed dramatically; terror filled his eyes as his mouth dropped open wide. "Ah, how... how is it you?"
