Chapter 128: Chapter 91: Thunder in One Hand, Sword in the Other, Before the Crowd a Saint Emerges, Lin Beichen_2
There is also a very important reason.
There’s still someone alive at the scene!
All those involved in kidnapping his parents must die!
That was a decision he had made long ago.
It cannot be changed!
"Deal with him first."
Lin Beichen descended from the tree and quickly blended into the darkness.
At the same time.
Zhou Tiezhu was picking up dry branches in the forest. Wu Xingwang had been with him for many years, and he couldn’t bear to leave Wu Xingwang’s body out in the wild.
Of course, digging a hole for Wu Xingwang was out of the question.
It was too time-consuming and laborious.
However, gathering some dry branches to cover the body was something he was willing to do.
"Sigh!"
"You poor kid, how could you get struck by lightning?"
Muttering to himself, Zhou Tiezhu also wondered if their sin of trafficking children was too severe, making them prone to retribution by lightning?
Maybe he should retire after this job!
Better quit before it’s his turn next time.
Just as he was reflecting on Wu Xingwang’s death.
"Rustle—"
A sound different from the rain suddenly broke the silence.
Zhou Tiezhu, already on edge, swiftly looked in the direction of the sound.
In the darkness, not far away.
A shadow moved closer, becoming clearer from a blur.
It was a human figure!
"Someone?"
Zhou Tiezhu felt a sudden jolt of fear—who could it be?
Before he could ask.
Under his astonished gaze.
The figure seemed to hold a sword.
A layer of blue and white light suddenly appeared on the sword, standing out conspicuously in the dim surroundings.
Immediately after.
The figure swung the sword.
"Clap—!!"
With a sound like lightning striking, the blue and white light detached from the sword, cleaving through the darkness and shooting straight at Zhou Tiezhu.
"???"
Zhou Tiezhu watched the blue and white light magnify infinitely in front of him, hearing the crackling sound close to his ears, he could almost feel the energy within it.
"Is this freaking electricity??"
"Is that even a human?"
"..."
Zhou Tiezhu’s confusion only lasted a moment.
The next moment.
The confusion vanished.
Not because he found the answer, but because he himself "vanished."
"Er~er~..."
His scream immediately turned into autotune due to the electric shock.
Zhou Tiezhu’s reaction was even more intense than Wu Xingwang’s, his body spasming as if his spine would snap, the contortion of his limbs made it hard to believe he wasn’t injured.
His eyes showed hardly any pupils, only the whites, continually rolling back.
His mouth wasn’t frothing with saliva, but blood foam!
And in just a breath.
"..."
With a violent spasm, his whole body fell silent.
Dead straightened out for life.
The shadow in the distance moved closer.
Lin Beichen, sword in hand, emerged from the darkness without giving a glance at Zhou Tiezhu’s body, walked past him and approached where Wu Xingwang’s body lay, following the path Yahan had taken.
"Went this way from here."
"Turned left."
"..."
Tracking Yahan’s trail.
Soon, he came near a cave and discovered the entrance hidden behind weeds.
Lin Beichen did not rush in carelessly.
When climbing the mountain with Alek, he had asked about the situation here.
However, he couldn’t fully trust what Alek said.
In other words.
He wasn’t sure what the situation inside the cave was like, how many people there were, what weapons they had, etc.
What he did know was that his parents were in the enemy’s hands.
"Better observe from the dark first."
Lin Beichen silently approached, hiding in a spot where he was unlikely to be seen even if someone came out of the cave but where he could still hear sounds from inside.
"Wu Xingwang was really unlucky, struck by lightning."
"Don’t worry, do you think I’d make mistakes? I’ve checked the scene, there’s no outsiders around."
"Is the sedative wearing off? Give his parents another dose. Two adults are hard to control, we can’t afford any mistakes."
"Hey, don’t meddle with that kid!"
"..."
Listening for a while.
He gathered a lot of information, even gaining unexpected insights.
From what they said, kidnapping his parents was meant to lure him into coming, not to kill him, but to capture him alive.
And so far...
His series of actions had not aroused the kidnappers’ suspicions. They had no idea he was here.
Although he hadn’t seen the inside of the cave, he had a pretty good grasp of the situation.
His parents were sedated, unconscious and vulnerable.
Besides his parents, there was also a little girl held hostage.
There were only three kidnappers in total.
"If I can’t eliminate all the kidnappers at once, even though there are only three, I can’t just rush in."
Lin Beichen thought clearly.
The enemy had hostages, maybe even guns.
To safely rescue his parents and the little girl...
The best plan was to lure them out one by one and take them down one at a time!
"But how to do that?"
He fell into deep thought.
And just then.
A voice came from the cave.
"Alek is really taking his time. If he’s not back soon, call and hurry him up. That loser couldn’t even keep track of a college student, he’s not what he used to be. Making us wait like this."
Hearing this, Lin Beichen’s eyes lit up, a brilliant idea flashed in his mind.
