Ningde Estate.
This was the abode of a low-key tycoon in Jiangdong Province.
In reality, however, it was a stronghold established by the Ying people in Great Xia, exclusively for receiving top experts dispatched from the Ying nation or those on special missions in Great Xia.
Now, it was about to contribute to the Ying nation once more.
Inside the luxurious villa.
A one-eyed Ying man sat in stillness, his single eye closed, yet the aura he exuded was like a sheer peak, inspiring awe from afar.
He was Matsushima Ze Xian, the expert sent by the Ying Emperor to receive Bai Shi San Ye!
"Lord Matsushima!"
Bai Shi San Ye approached to report, "Those guards are all dead..."
Matsushima Ze Xian opened his solitary eye, his gaze flat and devoid of emotion. "They died well, serving to alleviate the Emperor's worries."
"His Majesty will posthumously honor their families."
With that said.
Matsushima Ze Xian closed his eye again.
Bai Shi San Ye lowered his head, silently mourning for the fallen.
They bore the Emperor's mission, and death was common. Yet, as long as they earned the Emperor's recognition, they would be content.
A moment later.
Matsushima Ze Xian's eyes snapped open, his gaze falling on the wall clock.
"It is time."
The two approached the private jet's retractable stairs, ready to board.
Matsushima Ze Xian led the way, with Bai Shi San Ye following.
"Lord Matsushima, what is that..."
Just as Matsushima Ze Xian was about to step onto the stairs, Bai Shi San Ye's voice startled him. He immediately looked up at the sky.
My goodness.
Two people were approaching on a glider.
Above the massive private jet, they dropped a round, dark object.
"It's a bomb!"
The two reacted instantly, retreating dozens of yards in a flash.
"Rumble!"
As they withdrew, the bomb obliterated the private jet.
The occupants of the glider descended, revealed to be Bai Zi He and Murong Ming Yue.
"Lord Matsushima..."
Seeing them, Bai Shi San Ye immediately said, "These are the two who killed Sakurai and others, and attempted to steal the treasure."
Without a word, Matsushima Ze Xian headed directly for the nearby helicopter.
Regardless of whether they could win.
Being entangled by Bai Zi He was troublesome. If more helpers arrived, they would have no chance to escape.
"Trying to run?"
Bai Zi He snorted coldly and lunged forward.
Unexpectedly.
Before he could reach the helicopter, Bai Shi San Ye intercepted him.
"Seeking death!"
Bai Zi He would not hold back at such a critical moment.
He unleashed a punch, directly blasting open Bai Shi San Ye's chest.
Blood and organs splattered everywhere.
However.
Even with such brutal force, the remaining Ying warriors were not deterred. Instead, their ferocity was ignited, and they charged at Bai Zi He fearlessly.
Just as the helicopter's rotors began to spin, Bai Zi He's heart pounded with urgency.
"Die!"
He unleashed a punch.
The punch surged, peerless and invincible!
The Ying warriors before him were all sent flying by this single blow, their bodies exploding mid-air.
For a time.
Ningde Estate was a scene of utter devastation, comparable to hell.
Before Bai Zi He, no Ying warrior remained standing, not even breathing.
But.
Killing the Ying warriors was futile.
For Matsushima Ze Xian had already taken off in the helicopter, leaving the ground.
"Don't think of escaping!"
Bai Zi He roared and sprinted towards the helicopter. As it was about to ascend into the sky, he forcefully pushed off the ground.
Like a human cannonball, Bai Zi He soared upwards, narrowly grabbing onto the helicopter's tail rotor.
"Hmm?"
Matsushima Ze Xian sensed Bai Zi He and hardened his resolve.
"Whirrrr!"
"Whoosh..."
He maneuvered the helicopter, spinning it wildly in the air, attempting to shake Bai Zi He off.
Bai Zi He knew the gravity of the situation and clung tightly to the tail rotor, not daring to relax for a moment.
Despite several perilous moments, he managed to survive each one.
"Still not dead?"
A ferocious and sinister glint flashed in Matsushima Ze Xian's eyes as he prepared to give Bai Zi He more trouble.
Just as Bai Zi He was about to face greater danger.
"Little junior brother, grab me!"
At that moment, a voice called out from nearby. It was Murong Ming Yue, who had arrived on the glider, coming to Bai Zi He's aid.
Bai Zi He pushed off the glider for momentum, then punched open the helicopter's cabin door and jumped in.
"Swish!"
He was met with a punch that Matsushima Ze Xian had prepared.
Bai Zi He faced it fearlessly, and the two began to exchange blows inside the helicopter.
Matsushima Ze Xian's strength was considerable.
But Bai Zi He, now burning with rage, exerted at least thirty to forty percent of his power, quickly forcing Matsushima Ze Xian to the cabin door.
He then snatched the brocade box from his grasp and kicked him out of the helicopter.
"That was close!"
Bai Zi He breathed a sigh of relief, having finally retrieved the item.
"Beep, beep beep..."
Just then, Bai Zi He heard a piercing alarm.
"This is..."
Bai Zi He felt a sense of dread. Upon inspection, he discovered...
The helicopter was equipped with a timed bomb!
