Chapter 1746 Dark Night Assassination Scheme
Chapter 1746 Dark Night Assassination Scheme
The mother's voice echoed in the empty night.
In the shadows beside the house, Li Laide pursed his lips slightly, his usually calm and collected eyes now beginning to redden...
He held the diary he had just stolen from the house in his arms, remaining silent.
This diary records his past at school and his motives for murder. If the people of Chengtian Prefecture find this, they will probably interrogate his mother again, or even monitor her for a long time, affecting her daily life... In that case, he will not be able to send money to his mother regularly.
Therefore, it's best not to keep this.
At the same time, the mother's voice rang out again:
"Ryder, come out and let your mother see you... okay?"
"If the people of Chengtian Prefecture ask me, I will not say that I have seen you, and I will never put you in danger... I just want to see you from afar, to know that you are still alive and well."
“Ryder…”
"Ryder, are you there?"
In the darkness, a conflicted look flashed in Lee Ryder's eyes.
He didn't go out immediately, but remained standing in the shadows, listening to his mother's increasingly anxious calls from afar... She seemed afraid that Lee Ryder would leave again and she would never have the chance to see her child again, or perhaps her child simply didn't want to see her anymore.
The mother pushed the wheelchair forward with trembling hands. Perhaps due to her anxiety, she lost her balance and fell heavily to the ground.
Hearing the abruptly stopped call and the dull thud of a fall, Lee Ryder's pupils contracted slightly.
He stopped hiding and ran quickly toward the gate!
However, the moment his figure appeared, a flash of cold light suddenly burst out from the blind spot of the doorway. The aura of the sixth level of the God of War was like an icy blade, piercing into Li Leide's body!
puff--! !
Li Laid never expected an ambush here. Even though he reacted quickly and turned around, the cold light still pierced his chest, and blood gushed out instantly!
All of this happened so suddenly that when Li Laide collapsed to the ground like a dead dog, a look of horror belatedly appeared in his deep blue eyes!
Oops……
His house has been targeted?!
Li Lai De struggled to look up and saw his mother still slipping and falling to the ground, struggling to get up... At the same time, puppet threads appeared from nothingness, extending from her body all the way to the roof!
On the rooftop, a tall, slender figure draped in a long silver cloud robe squinted down at Li Laid, who lay in a pool of blood.
"We've finally waited for him to come back... It was worth the two weeks we spent waiting here."
A middle-aged man with a thick beard, carrying a rough hunting knife, walked out of the house at a leisurely pace... The slash that had just ambushed Li Leide was delivered by him.
"Although this kid is young, he is more cunning than other thief gods of the same level. If we don't use some extraordinary methods, we really won't be able to catch him..."
"Who says otherwise? But if you ask me, this kid is pretty steady. I even made his mother shout like that, but he still wouldn't come out. If he hadn't fallen, our two weeks of surveillance would probably have been for nothing."
As he spoke, puppet threads descended from the sky, binding the heavily injured Li Leide and completely sealing off his ability to move.
Li Leide was only a fifth-tier cultivator after all. Even if he had great abilities and methods, he couldn't break free from the traps and restraints of two sixth-tier cultivators. At this moment, he could only stare at the two with bloodshot eyes, his gaze filled with hatred as if he wanted to tear them to pieces!
"What did you do to my mother?!" the boy roared hysterically.
"Don't worry... she just fainted." The figure on the rooftop spoke softly. "After all, I am a member of the Tantric sect. In old terms, we are called... oh, a reputable sect. I wouldn't lay a hand on a commoner."
"What a load of rubbish about a prestigious sect!" The boy coughed up blood while sneering. "You bunch of hypocritical trash, putting on airs while using ordinary people to set traps and launch sneak attacks... You're shameless."
"Hehe, don't slander me. He came up with this idea." The figure on the rooftop smiled and pointed to the bearded man. "By the way... he's not a member of the official organization, just a registered unaffiliated Shintoist."
The bearded man gave him a cold glance:
"Now you're trying to shift the blame onto me? Then I'll take seven percent of the bounty, and you take three."
"Just kidding, don't be so formal..."
The bearded man didn't bother arguing with him. He walked straight up to Li Ride, squatted down in the pool of blood, grabbed Li Ride's face with one hand, and lifted his head up.
"Hmph, just as I thought, a white heretic." A hint of disdain flashed in the depths of the bearded man's eyes. "Just a foreign refugee who was living under someone else's roof more than three hundred years ago. Since he needed someone else's protection, he should have obediently acted as a dog... At such a young age, he's already stealing and murdering?"
“These heretics are indeed despicable at heart. If you ask me, Chengtian Prefecture should order them all to be eliminated to prevent future troubles.”
Upon hearing the word "heretic," Lee Ryder's bloodshot eyes instantly blazed with rage. Like a madman whose wounds had been ripped open, he ignored the gushing blood from the tearing wound, struggling and roaring:
"You are the heretics...your whole family are heretics!"
"What did we do wrong?! We did nothing! We just wanted to live a good life!! Why should we be considered worthless and heretics just because we look different from you?!"
Snapped--! !
The bearded man slapped Li Laid hard across the face, and Li Laid's roar came to an abrupt halt.
The slap was hard. Already seriously injured, Li Ride felt his head buzzing and was close to losing consciousness. His forehead slumped weakly into the pool of blood, and blood flowed down the wound...
"Alright, stop wasting your breath on him." The figure on the rooftop spoke calmly. "Hurry up and kill him, then use his head to exchange for the bounty with Chengtian Prefecture."
"You don't need to teach me."
The bearded man snorted coldly, raised his uneven hunting knife, its chilling gleam flashing in the air, and slowly raised the blade, aiming at Li Laid, who lay dead in a pool of blood...
The aura of a sixth-level War God continued to spread. He took a deep breath and slashed down with all his might!
The blade of the hunting knife tore through the air with a sharp crack. The bearded man hadn't held back with this strike; he knew this kid had many tricks up his sleeve, and even at the last moment, he had to go all out.
With his consciousness fading, Li Laid knew he was most likely doomed, and a bitter feeling welled up in his heart.
Unexpectedly, after finally escaping from Chen Ling, an even more terrifying predicament awaited him...
Then, just as his hunting knife was about to touch Lee Ryder's neck, a pair of slender, white fingers suddenly emerged from nothingness, lightly blocking the bearded man's full-force attack.
The bearded man stood there, stunned.
