Chapter 473: Chapter 473: Xiao Zheng Was Ambushed!

"An ambush?"

Mr. Xiao and his two companions were greatly surprised. However, at this moment, there was no time to think further because the burly men had already raised their arrows, aiming at them.

"Scatter!"

Mr. Xiao shouted, his body swiftly moving to the side. He stomped heavily against the wall, vaulting into the air. In just an instant, he arrived amidst the group of burly men like a bolt of lightning.

"Drop them!"

Mr. Xiao barked coldly, his fingers turning into several phantoms, aiming at the wrists of the burly men. A chorus of pained screams followed immediately by the sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground ensued.

In that instant, Mr. Xiao struck the wrists of the burly men, a tremendous force piercing forth, causing all of them to release their grip, and the arrows fell to the ground.

Boom!

The ground shook as Titan, like a towering giant, also charged forward. He swept his leg out in a semicircle through mid-air.

All those within the range of this semicircle were hit by a massive force and sent flying, crashing into walls with thunderous noise.

Long Qie shot forth like a sharp arrow.

His attacks were fierce, his fists and kicks swift as the wind. The sounds of pounding and booming were incessant, and in a mere moment, several more burly men screamed in agony as they fell to the ground.

Afterward, the seemingly terrifying ambush was quickly resolved by Mr. Xiao and the others. The whole ordeal took only a breath or two.

"Mr. Liu shouldn’t have been able to discover our movements." Mr. Xiao looked at the groaning men on the ground, frowning, "So how were these people able to set up an ambush beforehand?"

"We’ll know if we ask."

Long Qie grinned fiercely, stepping forward to a burly man and breaking his shinbone with a stomp.

The man immediately screamed loudly, his voice piercing. Seeing this scene, the other burly men’s complexions changed drastically, their eyes filled with fear as they looked at Long Qie.

"Next, you answer whatever I ask. Otherwise... this man’s fate will be yours!" Long Qie swept his chilling gaze across them, cold as the Grim Reaper.

Already scared by the lightning-fast attacks from Mr. Xiao and the others, and having witnessed Long Qie’s ruthless methods, the burly men naturally did not dare to resist and nodded repeatedly.

"Why is this floor so empty, and it’s as if you knew our movements in advance? The moment we came out, you began to attack."

Long Qie asked coldly.

"I... we don’t know much. We were just following Great Vajra’s orders," one of the burly men stammered out.

"Great Vajra?"

"Mr. Liu has eight Great Vajras under his command, each of them a martial arts master of awe-inspiring power. When we refer to them, we call them ’Great Vajra’."

The burly man explained.

"It seems certain now that Mr. Liu is aware of our whereabouts; we just don’t know how we were exposed," Mr. Xiao nodded, his voice a bit grave.

It was most annoying to him that they had lost the initiative right from the start.

"What about the upper floors?"

Long Qie asked next.

"Not... not sure," the burly man answered.

"Mr. Xiao, what should we do next?" The situation was pretty much clear at this point. Long Qie looked at Mr. Xiao, waiting for further instructions.

Mr. Xiao glanced at everyone.

Judging by the current circumstances, continuing further would likely lead to more ambushes, which would be extremely dangerous. The wisest course of action would be to temporarily retreat.

But he did not want to do that.

"Continue! If Mr. Liu is indeed ambushing us, then there must be powerful individuals from his forces above. As long as we can capture these important figures, we’ll be able to understand Mr. Liu much better."

Xiao Zheng’s eyes were fierce, "A minor setback isn’t enough to make me retreat."

"We shall obey the Evil God’s command!"

Long Qie, Titan, Ten Killings, all became excited and said loudly.

This indeed was the style of the Evil God, domineering, fierce, powerful, crushing all enemies in his path, without mercy.

"Good, next we’ll head to the 96th floor."

Xiao Zheng nodded, "However, we can’t be reckless, Ten Killings, send two people, the ones who are more agile, to scout ahead first."

"Yes."

Immediately, two individuals leaped forward, bowed slightly to Xiao Zheng, and then like cheetahs, they sprang out, climbing the stairs towards the 96th floor.

"We’ll follow them."

Xiao Zheng said.

The group immediately followed up the stairs.

Since it was confirmed that Mr. Liu might have an ambush, using the elevator was no longer an option. It was too easy to sabotage.

Upon reaching the 96th floor, Xiao Zheng and his team heard the sounds of intense battle and quickly proceeded toward the source of the noise. Then they saw that the two scouts from Ten Killings were engaged in fierce combat with a group of people in the hallway of the 96th floor.

Although outnumbered, the two from Ten Killings had the clear upper hand. In just a few breaths’ time, they had completely taken down the group of people.

But seeing this scene, Xiao Zheng did not feel joy; on the contrary, he frowned.

Too easy!

Those left on the 96th floor were too weak. A person like Mr. Liu, with the Eight Great Vajras and a host of strong followers, how could he possibly only leave behind such a group of weaklings if he really wanted to ambush them?

There was something strange about this situation!

"We continue upwards."

Xiao Zheng said coldly.

Then, they arrived at the 97th floor.

The situation was the same as before, the place was staffed by a bunch of underlings. Xiao Zheng and his people didn’t even need to act; Ten Killings took them all down by themselves.

98th floor.

99th floor.

100th floor.

They reached the top floor of Rongde Building at an extremely fast pace.

This top floor was not divided into rooms but was a giant hall with a glass dome ceiling at least ten meters from the floor, glittering with splendid colors in the night.

In the middle of the hall hung a huge screen.

As soon as Xiao Zheng and his team arrived, the screen lit up, displaying the figure of Mr. Liu.

"Hehe, Xiao Zheng, are you surprised? How could my stronghold be an empty nest?" On the screen, Mr. Liu’s face bore a gentle smile, but due to the scar on his face, this gentle smile carried a menacing undertone.

Upon seeing this screen, Xiao Zheng became calm, knowing he might have fallen into a trap. He coolly watched the screen and did not respond, for the footage of Mr. Liu must have been pre-recorded and required only that he finish speaking.

"Let me tell you, you have been duped."

The Mr. Liu on the screen continued, wearing a smug smile, "While you were forcefully attacking Rongde Building, I had already invited your woman to my private villa..."
