Chapter Nine, is this all the money you are selling for?
The small red eyes were fixed on the thin stack of bills, at that moment, a hand reached out, and in a voice that was almost crying, shouted: "Money, money, that is my money, my money, give it to me, give it to me, it is the money I earned..."
She does not want Li Jie to know her name, but he found out. What should she do
Li Jie surveyed the people around him in a circle, having already grasped their distribution, physique, and the situation regarding their weapons. His gaze quickly swept around before settling back on the scar-faced man. "If I return this stack of money to you, can I redeem myself?"
Thus, the mocking gazes of those surrounding, who were merely spectators, seemed to freeze in an instant. The cheerful atmosphere of entertainment was abruptly shattered, leaving behind a sense of gravity.
There are indeed no lack of the Youhua Academy Combat Department in the eighth-level urban area, so how could they be so extraordinarily strong!
Her hand holding the dagger trembled with a sudden jolt of her body, losing its strength. The dark garment on her body disintegrated instantly under the overwhelming impact, losing its protective capability
The blade struck true, yet this man's combat power surpassed that of Hong Xiaoqiang by a significant margin. It took 0.2 seconds to shatter the protection of his dark attire. Consequently, his body was lifted off the ground by Li Jie’s short sword. When the protection of the dark attire was broken, his chin was struck by the hilt of Li Jie’s sword, causing him to be sent flying to the ground. Although the fall was loud, he felt no pain, for he had already been knocked unconscious by the hilt before hitting the ground.
However, reality is such that it leaves them in despair
Li Jie successfully struck with his dagger, swiftly turning to pursue the man who had been pierced in the neck but lacked sufficient time to maintain pressure. The second strike followed through, landing on the man's back, thus bringing down another one
It was then that Li Jie heard a faint cry for help.
"Let go of me!" Red hetushu.com struggled slightly but could not break free, her emotions becoming increasingly out of control. Suddenly, a gleaming white dagger appeared in her hand, and she fiercely plunged it into Li's shoulder!
The scar-faced man's gaze immediately darkened, and his tone became fierce. "Little brother, how many people were there above when you arrived? I just didn't want you to lose face. Do you think you can take on hundreds by yourself?"
Li Jie directly exposed the girl's lie about her escape, and pointed out that the name shouted by that group of people not long ago was indeed hers. It was from that moment that Li Jie began to have doubts
He was certainly sold by the young girl, although Li Jie still did not know what this group of people intended to do with a living person, but he was definitely sold by the young girl
The man sneered and retorted, "If she takes you to the subway station, will you give her two thousand yuan as a token of gratitude?"
Do you think I can still give you money and leave now? Li Jie smiled happily, while a group of people including the scar-faced man felt quite terrible. This was simply a reversal of the situation for both parties just moments ago, a change in mood!
As the person with a stab wound to the chest instinctively recoiled in fear, Li Jie had already struck another individual in the neck. Immediately following this, he swiftly sidestepped and lunged forward, delivering another sword thrust to the shoulder of the retreating enemy. The two consecutive attacks left the man with no time to absorb the impact, causing his dark attire to disintegrate, and he was subsequently knocked unconscious and sent flying out.
In this movement, the bodies of the enemies serve as shields, and the enemies that pass by are obstacles for other attackers, and with each encounter, there will inevitably be enemies struck by the sword
The sound of Hong Xiao's violent cough shattered the brief silence; she coughed and then struggled to crawl, her eyes fixed only on the red banknotes that had fallen to the ground.
The little brat and the book! What are you pretending for? He raised his knife, holding a pair of daggers that were forty centimeters long. Stepping forward, raising the knife, his movements were swift, and his fierce gaze was not fixed on someone like Hong Xiao, choosing the shoulder, but rather on the nape of Li Jie!
Stop! The scar-faced man shouted coldly, and the movements of those surrounding him instantly froze. The enemies who were slightly farther away seemed to have been prepared, retreating further back in unison.
He can no longer endure it
"Your knife is useless even if drawn." Li did not take her seriously and allowed her to kick him fiercely. The combat-oriented genes within his body had already merged with the dark attire under the stimulation of ultra-micro nuclear energy. With his combat strength, it would take approximately one thousand kicks from Hong Xiao to inflict any harm on him
Li Jie threw the man away, swiftly retreating half a step, and in this situation of being besieged, he calculated the time difference to create an opportunity to attack the enemy group. At the same time, he slightly turned his body, using one short sword to block a threatening dagger from an enemy, while the other sword swiftly pierced the chest of another man.
However, before she could reach it, she saw Li Jie stepping on it, pulling back, and kicking upwards, causing the coins to fly up and land in his hand
Li Jie initially focused on his surroundings, but he soon realized that the people around him were leisurely watching their commotion, completely indifferent. They did not care about Hong Xiao, nor did they take the sold Li Jie seriously.
Save me, let me go, I beg you to let me go
Therefore, even if it is one thousand, there are plenty of people willing to do it. The scarred man said mockingly with a smile: "People living in a level 5 city have no idea how difficult survival is; I believe you certainly do not understand how dangerous your situation is
Because they are all afraid
The sound comes from a room in the corridor, are there other trapped individuals here
However, under the siege, he did not have enough time to continuously exert force to completely shatter the protective power of the man's dark attire. As he struck and shook the man's dark clothing, his short sword followed through with a sideways slash to the neck of the man whose short knife had been blocked by him
I suppose so," Li said, laughing as he tossed the stack of money to Hong Xiao. "First, hold onto this for me.
Li Jie immediately released his grip, allowing the girl's body to fall to the ground. The aftershocks of the impact left her completely limp, with ringing in her ears and dizziness overwhelming her. Tears streamed uncontrollably down her face, and an abnormal amount of saliva flowed from the corners of her mouth. She choked on the internal flow, causing her face to flush and her neck to thicken for a brief moment before she finally managed to cough it out
He moved swiftly within a small range, his pair of short swords striking the enemy's chest as he ducked under the enemy's swinging arm. As he evaded the enemy's charge and spun around, he transformed into a blue flash, piercing into the enemy's back
For a moment, the scene was exceptionally quiet
Is the fellow from Youhua College really that terrifying
Li Jie suddenly shook Hong Xiao's arm, and the power unleashed by the fighter, honed through long-term training, was transmitted through the dark clothing, instantly affecting the young girl.
Hong Xiao was holding the money, and had crawled out less than two meters, with still three meters to go to the stairs below. However, eight people had already fallen. Among the remaining twenty, eleven had been struck by those two dazzling blue short swords.
The red little one did not bring them a silly monkey that could make them happy, but rather a young fierce tiger
Hong Xiao changed her expression, tightly gripping the * picture * book, and she struggled fiercely while threatening angrily, "Let go! Quickly let go of me! If you don't let go, I will draw my knife! I really will draw my knife!"
However, Li Jie suddenly turned his body, and a short sword that had appeared in his hand flashed with light, striking the neck of the young man who had come from behind. The powerful impact lifted the young man's body off the ground!
Speaking, Li Jie again accused the man with a scar on his face, who had just given him money, saying: "You are too ruthless. She sold me to you, and you are merely kidnapping for ransom, right? I am at least a resident of a Level 5 urban area, and you only give her this little amount?"
Damn! The man who just gave up his position for Li Jie cursed angrily, infuriated by Li Jie's arrogance. Giving the money to Hong Xiao for safekeeping? That means before Hong Xiao climbs out of this floor, he can take care of all of them! How outrageous is this? Can this be tolerated?
Li sighed and shook his head, saying, "So this is how you calculate money." He would not do it, unless Hong Xiao asked for it. He also had to admit that even if asked, the vast majority of people would not give. Yes, they do not need to calculate the value of the red vendor, because the cost is too high.
However, what they did not anticipate was the remarkably short duration in which their companion's dark attire was shattered, completely beyond their expectations
Hong Xiao hurriedly clutched the money to her chest, dragging her still-numb long legs, and made an effort to lean forward, wanting nothing more than to leave this place quickly with the money
The man with a scarred face smiled very happily, a situation that is rare and certainly a source of amusement. "If multiplied by one hundred times, it can be discussed"
Li Jie’s expression suddenly turned cold, meeting the fierce gaze of the scar-faced man without yielding in the slightest. "I may be young and naive about the eighth-level urban area, but do you think my naivety is foolishness? They didn’t come down to confront me, yet you’re already lying down! Otherwise, you would have shouted long ago! Trying to scare me? Let me tell you—since the moment I decided to walk in here, I have been prepared to stir up trouble! And from that moment on, when I leave today is not up to you to decide, it is up to me to decide!"
Due to the protection of the dark clothing, even if struck by the enemy, as long as the protective power has not been shattered, it presents the best opportunity for a combined attack; this fundamental combat knowledge is well understood by them
Li Jie’s slight shake and release shattered the protective power of the girl’s dark attire, while perfectly allowing her to endure the impact injury
The six or seven men and women closest to Li Jie all stood up, their hands flashing as they grasped various short knives and short swords. Those further away also began to leave their seats, some slowly and some hurriedly, moving to what they deemed the best positions, while hands emerged from under their armpits, from their lower backs, and from their sleeves, drawing weapons.
Li glanced at the stack, showing no interest in counting them one by one. He estimated the thickness to be around 2,000, and then he smiled, a smile filled with helplessness. "Red light beauty, is this all you sold me for?"
"However, I still want to take more people with me now," Li Jie said with a smile, pointing in the direction from which the distress call had come.
"Go ahead! Consider me unlucky, just leave. It's only two thousand yuan, can Scarface really be that calculative at this moment?"
"Count me unlucky, return my money, you may leave." Scarface did not wish to continue the fight, while Li Jieming appeared to be in complete control, as all those who had fallen were largely unharmed. This indicated that he had gauged the approximate level of endurance of the fallen individuals before delivering the first strike without crushing the dark-clad figures; otherwise, how could he be so precise
Li Jie also stopped, stood up straight, and his expression shifted from the serious demeanor of battle to a relaxed state with a smile.
At the moment the man was struck and his feet left the ground, those around him moved
