Chapter 286 Sudden Death
Call ~
A gentle breeze blew by, and the black aura that had almost filled the city lord's mansion disappeared. Sunlight streamed in from outside, and the place returned to its peaceful state.
"Are you saying that after the illusion array was dispelled, you fought each other again because you didn't like each other?"
Looking at the two large men in front of him, covered in wounds, Lin Tian was speechless.
“He started it. I told him to stop, but he kept hitting me! I had no choice but to retaliate.”
Tiger Vanguard's face was covered in bruises, clearly indicating that he hadn't gained the upper hand since he was in a disadvantageous position. However, he was still full of resentment, and when Lin Tian asked him a question, he pointed to Xiao Lilong next to him as if shifting the blame.
"Roar!!!!"
Little Li Long didn't reply, but expressed his emotions with a dragon roar, as if to say something.
So what if I hit you? If you're still not happy, come and fight me again!
"You! Code!"
"Stop, stop, stop, stop!"
Seeing that the two were about to start fighting again, Lin Tian quickly waved his hand to stop them. Now was not the time for such things. Now that Tiger Vanguard was safe and sound, he had to go find the clearance documents.
Of course, before that, he wanted to see the true face of the man in black.
Since the black mist had dissipated, the man in black robes could no longer conceal his figure, and his face was naturally revealed to Lin Tian.
Ok?
How could it be him?
Looking at the somewhat unfamiliar face, Lin Tian's eyes revealed a slight hint of doubt.
Isn't that Xie Siduo, the star player from the God of War?
Lin Tian had heard plenty of discussions and admiration for Xie Siduo when he was in the Sand City.
I never imagined I'd be treated like a lowly minion, so easily defeated by myself.
Of course, this was also due to the lack of preparation. After all, Lin Tian's immobilization technique had basically never been shown to the public. In addition, Xie Siduo was a magic user and his body was fragile, so it was not surprising that he was knocked out by Lin Tian in one blow.
"Take him back and interrogate him."
Just as Lin Tian was about to tie the guy up, the guy's body suddenly underwent a strange change.
Without any warning, the guy's body suddenly began to swell, and after expanding to a certain extent, it burst open like a balloon.
boom! ! !
Lin Tian dodged in time, preventing the blood from splattering on him. However, he was still quite surprised, since he had seen Xie Siduo's body before, when he had knocked Xie Siduo unconscious.
Has he woken up? Or is someone secretly causing trouble?
Lin Tian had no idea, but now that Xie Siduo was dead, he could only give up the search.
"Let's go find the travel document first!"
After dealing with the scene, Lin Tian began searching the courtyard. He was quite adept at finding travel documents, having done so several times before, so he found them easily this time without much effort.
"Let's take the next city..."
....................
"Shesta is dead."
In a palace standing at the highest point of Shari, Jiga sat alone on a high throne. In front of him were layers of golden steps, with the Hound Guard and Eagle Guard standing on both sides, kneeling respectfully.
The reactions to Gigana's calm remark varied from person to person.
The members of the Hound Guard were shocked. They knew Xie Siduo's strength. Although he wasn't good at fighting, he was still a Gold Saint. They couldn't believe that he had died so easily.
Especially Ax, who originally considered him one of his rivals, but unexpectedly, before the two even fought, Xie Siduo was gone.
The Eagle Guards are slightly better off. Due to their profession, they are more composed and don't get too shocked even when they encounter surprising things.
Yu Er felt the same way. He wasn't surprised at all by the news, because in his opinion, someone who could make Ji Jia so unforgettable must have some strength.
"I just sent him out to scout, but I didn't expect him to be such a useless piece of trash..."
Ji Jia felt no grief or regret over Xie Siduo's death; instead, he felt anger—anger at Xie Siduo's incompetence and anger at Lin Tian's offense.
"Or... I..."
"no need."
Seeing the furious Jiga, Yuji hesitated for a moment, intending to volunteer to attack, but before he could finish speaking, Jiga rejected him.
"There's no need to go look for him."
Jiga slowly got up and walked down the steps barefoot, one step at a time, with everyone's eyes following him.
call!
Jiga arrived at the entrance of the main hall. The sun was shining brightly, and there was a slight breeze in the air.
"He will come."
call! ! ! !
After he said that, the breeze suddenly changed and became violent.
A fierce wind is blowing...
.............
Gulu! Gulu!
On the sparsely populated street, the sound of wheel hubs could be heard continuously. Looking over, one could see that it was coming from an elderly man in a wheelchair.
Grandpa! Are you alright?
The one who spoke was a girl who looked only thirteen or fourteen years old. At that moment, she looked anxious, and her short legs were kicking like wheels of fire.
"I...I'm okay...sigh~"
"Little Jasmine, you...stop it..."
The elderly man, who looked extremely old, felt both gratified and heartbroken as he watched his granddaughter being pushed around in a wheelchair.
Do I really want to do this...?
"Are you kidding me? Those guys are going to capture you, Grandpa! I heard from Sean that if they catch you, you'll die! Do you want to die, Grandpa?!"
Do you want to die...?
To be honest, I didn't want to, but what could I do...?
This has always been the rule in this country. For the sake of the monarchy's longevity, and to prevent everyone from being ravaged by sandworms, perhaps sacrifice... is also a choice...
When he was young, he saw his grandfather being taken away by those guys, but at that time he was young and ignorant and did not understand what sacrifice was.
Later, as an adult, he understood the sacrifice, but watched helplessly as his father was taken away by those guys. He told himself that it was necessary...
Now it was his turn, and he could finally understand how his grandfather and father felt.
Tick!Tick!
Tears fell onto the disabled leg, the wheelchair's wheels kept turning, and the old man's heart was constantly changing.
He didn't want to die, but...
The old man turned to look at his anxious granddaughter, a resolute glint in his eyes.
click!
"grandfather!"
The girl screamed, her eyes filled with terror, because she saw her grandfather suddenly reach for the wheelchair and forcefully stop it.
Seeing his bloodied hands, the girl was heartbroken and immediately went to check on her grandfather's injuries, but the old man waved his hand to stop her.
"You go."
"I've lived long enough, I can't drag you down anymore."
The old man spoke with absolute certainty, but the girl could still see a hint of reluctance and timidity in his eyes.
Making the decision to die is inherently a difficult thing.
But the old man has to make a choice, otherwise if he gets caught by that group, the girl will also be punished.
"Grandpa~"
The girl had never seen her grandfather like this before, and she was stunned for a moment. Just then, the sound of pursuers' footsteps rang out behind her.
Da da da!
