Super Soldier - Chapter 219

Chapter 219





Xiao Bing’s expression changed them moment he saw the shadow in the water . With a twist of his body, he landed back on the boat . He whipped several steel balls into the water, making audible splashes as they penetrated the water . The power going with them was massive . However, Zhang Yu was as slick as a fish in the water . He vanished before Xiao Bing’s eyes instantly .

Xiao Bing stood on one end of the boat and observed the water as the boat sank . “The boat will sink completely in 10 minutes,” Xiao Bing reckoned . By then, there would be nothing he could do to Zhang Yu, given his exceptional skill in the water . Xiao Bing did not have any confidence of defeating him under such circumstances .

Xiao Bing cast a sweeping glance and bellowed, “You’re going to wait until the ship is sunk before you attack?”

No one answered . The lake was as smooth as a mirror .

Xiao Bing asked, “You and I are both at the early stage of Elixir-strength . When a master steps into Innate Realm, it means that he might never find his equal . Don’t you crave for a fair battle with me here and now?”

Again, no one answered him .

Xiao Bing laughed, “Are you afraid? You know you aren’t my match on land, so you’ve decided to hide yourself underwater like a turtle?”

No reply . It looked like the taunt didn’t work .

Xiao Bing’s voice penetrated the water . However, the advancement of an innate master was not only the breakthrough of physical strength . His mentality would be enhanced as well . Though Xiao Bing was good at playing mind-games . He didn’t know anything about this man . Xiao Bing once asked Lil Bei to do an investigation of Zhang Yu’s background, but he found nothing . Hence, he knew nothing about Zhang Yu, nothing about his weakness for him to take advantage of, which was why this plan failed .

All of a sudden, the boat began to shudder crazily and Xiao Bing heard the sound of the boat being bored through from below . Looks like Zhang Yu desperately wants him dead .

When the ship was about to sink completely, Xiao Bing sent a wooden board flying with a swift kick . When it landed in the middle of the lake, Xiao Bing jumped . He was about to land on it when, at the last moment, he suddenly flipped upside down, reaching his hands into the water, grabbing at something .

Zhang Yu had intended to deliver a discreet strike, but he had not expected Xiao Bing to do this . Surprised, he found his shoulders grabbed by his foe . But he wasn’t going surrender that easily . He held Xiao Bing’s arms firmly and yanked him under water . But Xiao Bing took advantage of it and wrapped his foe’s throat with his other arm .





Zhang Yu then dived deeper into the lake, dragging Xiao Bing with him . Xiao Bing held his breath and gripped his opponent’s neck tighter . But Zhang Yu’s strength seemed to have tripled under the lake . He dragged Xiao Bing about like a shark . He hit anything in his sight insanely and incessantly hammered Xiao Bing’s ribs with his arms .


The pain in his chest made Xiao Bing opened his mouth, which was then filled with water . Xiao Bing’s consciousness weakened . However, his arm on Zhang Yu’s neck was still as firm as a rock . The two masters of innate then began fighting freestyle, tearing at each other in the final struggle .

Dumbass and Zhang Hongyan returned to the mansion before dawn, but they didn’t find any sign of Xiao Bing .

Dumbass’s expression changed . Impatiently, he said loudly, “I should go to the lake . ”

Though she was also worried, she didn’t lose any of her rationality . “For what? We killed several important figures of the Long family . The sun will soon rise and you want Lord Long to find us? Neither of us is his match . ”

Dumbass blazed, “Brother Bing is my boss . I can’t leave him alone here!”

Zhan Hongyan stood in front of Dumbass and said icily, “You think I’m a coward? I used to be an assassin . I don’t care about life or death . But we can’t die for nothing . Boss is way more powerful than either of us . If he’s all right, he will naturally escape back to Jiang City . We will only be a burden to him if we remain here . ”

Dumbass bellowed, “I’m not a clever boy and I’m not literate . But when I was little, my mother told me that I should never cast my friend aside no matter what! Brother Bing is my friend! I can’t leave without him! We’ve sworn to live and die together!”

Taken aback, Zhan Hongyan stared at Dumbass whom she’d always regarded as foolish . She found him more foolish at this moment . As she said, she was not afraid of death . She just felt that death should be worthwhile . Risking both their lives just to be two big “burdens” was pointless .

However, watching Dumbass’s stubbornness and naivety, Zhang Hongyan was oddly touched . When she was in that assassin organization, she’d never felt anything remotely like a brotherhood . Though Dumbass was stupid, there was something about him that she deemed valuable .

Zhan Hongyan managed a wry smile . Then the seething Dumbass looked like he was about to walk past her . She suddenly grabbed him by the arm . “I’m going out,” Dumbass said, frowning .





“I’ll go with you . ”

Dumbass glanced at her, surprised, and found a hint of smile on her cold face . “Dumbass, your stubbornness will get you spotted the moment you leave this place . How can I not be worried when someone as stupid as you travel alone?”

Dumbass’s eyes brightened .

Zhan Hongyan said, “Let’s go together . ”

Dumbass bobbed his head in earnest .

As soon as they walked out the door, they found Xiao Bing, dripping from head to foot, leaning on a wall, smiling as he said, “Dumbass, you’re really reckless, aren’t you?”

Dumbass was ecstatic, “You came back alive?”

Zhan Hongyan was also very relieved .

Xiao Bing had seen Dumbass and Zhang Hongyan having an argument . He chose not to show up earlier because he wanted them to reach an agreement . Mutual trust was what mattered most between partners . Obviously, Dumbass and Zhan Hongyan have begun to build that .

Xiao Bing leaned his arm against the door, panting . There was a flicker of a smile on his face . But when he was about to speak, he coughed out a mouthful of blood .

Zhan Hongyan and Dumbass rushed to his aid . But Xiao Bing shook his head . Zhan Hongyan frowned, “Are you badly injured?”





“Not too bad . ” Xiao Bing grinned, “But the outcome is quite good . Zhang Yu is dead . Now Lord Long has lost two of his three pillars . ”

“So what should we do now?”

“Return to Jiang City!”

Shangyang City was not safe for them anymore . The reason why Xiao Bing and his assistants were able to kill the poisonous woman, Zhang Yu and several important figures was because they were completely off guard . They didn’t see Xiao Bing and his friends sneaking into the city, nor did they take that possibility into account . Plus Xiao Bing had just had a breakthrough in his physical strength . All these contributed to their success .

Seeing many had died in the past few hours, Xiao Bing surmised that Lord Long would send people to hunt for them . If they were found, their chances of survival would be small, especially if they encountered Lord Long .

While it was still dark outside, the three of them left Shangyang City . When the sun shone again, news of the assassination of the Long family’s elites reached Lord Long’s ears and he immediately phoned the Femme Fatale and Zhang Yu . But neither of them answered him .

Impossible… With their power and skill… They can’t die that easily .

Lord Long bellowed at his subordinate, “Go to their residences and tell them to come here!”

“Yes, sir…” His poor confidant left the mansion in panic and began searching for the Femme Fatale and Zhang Yu .

Soon Lord Long received several calls and was told that several cities in Hei Province were retaken by Master Hou overnight . But it did not bother him that much because Master Hou was nothing more than an obstacle which could be kicked aside with ease . The safety of the Femme Fatale and Zhang Yu was what mattered most .

The Femme Fatale was equal to an innate master with her exceptional skills with poison . As for Zhang Yu, even Lord Long himself would find it a job to kill him underwater .

Lord Long felt slightly relieved as he thought of that . But he couldn’t be at ease until he heard from them .

He stood beside the window in the room upstairs, looking into the distance with a gloomy face . Not long later, the call came . He put the phone through and heard his subordinate’s voice, “Lord Long… Zhang Yu’s boat has sunk . ”

“What?” Lord Long gasped, “Where is he?”

“His body was found floating on the water . Looks like he suffocated to death…”

Lord Long shivered a little . It was the first time he had the feeling of being thwarted . But then it turned into rage, the anger within felt like it would turn into a raging fire .

If Zhang Yu was dead, unfortunately, the Femme Fatale would be too .

“Find the Femme Fatale and bring her to me . I want to see her, dead or alive,” commanded Lord Long in a deep voice .

Hanging up, Lord Long pondered for a moment . Then he called the police . He was the king in Shangyang City . Besides his subordinates, he also had resources in the government .

He was good at killing, but the police were better at investigating murder cases .

Lord Long didn’t expect the police to find the murderer . He merely wanted to them to find the Femme Fatale’s whereabouts .

After the chief police got Lord Long’s call, he instantly assembled his man to plan for the search . When the sun was setting, they found the yard and the Femme Fatale, who was buried under it . In the meantime, Lord Long arrived at the yard . The leader of the police gave a handkerchief to Lord Long and sighed, “Mr . Long, I’m very sorry to say that your friend is dead… This is the only clue left at the scene . ”

Lord Long took the handkerchief and stared at it intently . Anger flickered in his eyes, and then a cold glint!
