263: Chapter 264: Is It Okay to Talk Like That!?

This scene unfolded, and Xia Yuqing knew things had truly gone awry.

Staring at the pitch-black muzzle in front of her, she slowly backed away.

At the same time, her hand reached for the stone inside the bag on her back.

This object absolutely could not fall into these people’s hands.

When she received the mission, the person issuing the mission had strongly emphasized that they must obtain that stone, asserting it would affect many things.

Thus, Xia Yuqing absolutely could not let these Nether people get their hands on this stone.

At this moment, seeing Xia Yuqing’s action, the Ghost King thought she was trying to dodge and shouted, “Hand over the object, or I’ll kill you!”

“You dare!” Next to the cliff, Xia Yuqing took out the red stone and held it aloft, above the ravine: “Even if I die, I won’t let you have this thing!”

The stone was suspended by Xia Yuqing at the edge of the cliff, at this moment just resembling an ordinary black stone.

Seeing this, the Ghost King immediately became panicked.

That stone was very valuable to them, and the person hiring them had said they would pay a billion Yun Country Currency for it.

Therefore, this deal had to be successful; they had to get their hands on that stone no matter what.

“I advise you to calm down!” the Ghost King said.

“Don’t you dare come any closer, or I’ll throw it down immediately!” Xia Yuqing said.

This was her only chance.

If the Ghost King really made any strange moves, she would jump off the cliff with the stone, ensuring no one else could have it.

“Don’t…” The Ghost King tried to calm Xia Yuqing.

And the Ghost King himself looked at Xia Yuqing, “You…

you better not throw it down, or I’ll make your death extremely ugly!”

His words lacked the subtly of the Ghost King’s.

“As long as you don’t come over, I won’t throw it!” Xia Yuqing said.

“Fine, Dragon Scale, we from Nether will take a step back.

Just hand over the stone you’re holding, and I’ll spare your life right now!” the Ghost King said.

“I don’t trust you all!” Xia Yuqing said.

The people from Nether were cruel and ruthless, absolutely untrustworthy.

“You…” Upon hearing this, the Ghost King started cursing.

If this wasn’t a waterfall, if this wasn’t a cliff, but rather the earlier Forest of Death, he wouldn’t waste words and would directly go up there and thoroughly ravage this Family Head Xia Yuqing.

But now, that wasn’t possible.

“Shut up, I’ll handle it!” The Ghost King said.

The Ghost King fell silent.

Then he looked at Xia Yuqing and said, “Then tell me your conditions?”

“My condition is to let me go and not to move from here,” Xia Yuqing said.

She knew that this time, she would definitely not be able to escape.

The best she could do was to buy some time for Monkey and the others, hoping they wouldn’t get caught by these Nether people.

As for herself, she would wait for a while and then jump into the waterfall with the stone.

She couldn’t give the stone to these people.

“Good, I agree to your terms!” the Ghost King said.

But the Ghost King wasn’t a fool either.

He whispered to the Ghost King, “This woman is just stalling for time.

We can’t keep waiting like this with her!”

“I know, if it’s stalling for time then let it be.

Right now, this stone is what matters.

Everything else is trivial.

In a moment, I’ll hold her off, and then you use the Ghostly Specter Gun to take her out!” the Ghost King said.

Upon hearing this, the Ghost King understood and immediately produced a light machine gun in his hands.

The Ghost King’s signature weapon, the Ghostly Specter Gun, was now in his hands, faint and indistinct as if it were a phantom itself.

Sometimes it was impossible to see with the naked eye, especially when shooting; it was even harder to detect.

In mercenary combat, it was not only a contest of abilities but also a psychological game.

Then, the Ghost King talked with Xia Yuqing while the Ghost King quietly took out the Ghostly Specter Gun, aiming it squarely at the center of Xia Yuqing’s forehead.

He didn’t shoot immediately but waited for a moment when Xia Yuqing was not paying attention to make a fatal strike.

That way, when her body fell below the cliff, the stone in her hand would remain unharmed.

“Now, can we make our move?” the Ghost King said.

“Don’t you dare!” Xia Yuqing immediately responded.

At this moment, she was calculating the time, figuring out whether her companions were safe yet.

After a certain period of safety had passed, it was time for her to die.

“It’s time!” The Ghost King said to the Ghost King as soon as he saw Xia Yuqing’s actions.

“Alright, watch me!” The Ghost King snickered and then, holding the Nether Ghost Gun, aimed at Xia Yuqing’s head and slowly pressed the trigger.

The faintly visible Nether Ghost Gun was pointed at Xia Yuqing.

In that instant, a bullet was seen flying from the barrel, just as faintly visible.

Heading straight for Xia Yuqing’s forehead.

Both the Ghost King and the Ghost King smiled knowingly at this scene.

They had absolute confidence in their spear technique.

A guaranteed kill!

Xia Yuqing knew she was in trouble when she saw the bullet halfway in the air; in a rush, she tried to dodge, but by that moment, it was already too late.

The bullet was about to hit Xia Yuqing.

At that moment, suddenly, the bullet aimed at Xia Yuqing veered off course, hitting the side of the cliff and burrowing into it with a thud.

None had expected this turn of events.

“What happened?” the Ghost King and the Ghost King asked in unison.

Xia Yuqing was also stunned, wondering in the moment she saw the bullet fly off course if this meant she no longer had to die.

Then, from the mist behind them, a voice slowly emerged, “Since when did the people of Nether become so formidable, daring to bully Zhan Long like this?”

And then out of the mist, Tang Zhong slowly appeared, followed by Shi Tou and the members of Zhan Long, all radiating vitality.

The people of Nether were shocked upon seeing Tang Zhong.

The Ghost King and the Ghost King looked at Tang Zhong, their eyes filled with terror, “You…

how are you here?

Didn’t the intel say you went to Xuan Country?”

“I’m back, is that a problem?” Tang Zhong said with a smile, but then the smile vanished from his face, replaced by a steely coldness, “Otherwise, how could I deal with you lot?”

At that moment, from a distance, Xia Yuqing almost cried when she saw Tang Zhong.

It felt like a dream seeing him, yet his figure and voice were so clear it couldn’t be false—he had truly arrived.

Xia Yuqing then looked at Tang Zhong.

And Tang Zhong looked back at Xia Yuqing, his face swiftly filling with a warm smile, “Hey, I’m here, you alright?”

“I’m fine!” Xia Yuqing immediately replied.

“Your…

your long hair?” asked Tang Zhong, noticing Xia Yuqing’s hair.

“Cut it!” Xia Yuqing replied, touching her short hair.

“Not bad, as pretty as before!” Tang Zhong grinned, “Wait, those two bullied you, I’ll sort them out right now!”

Their conversation reached the ears of the Nether group.

At this moment, the Ghost King and the Ghost King were furious.

After all, they were the Nether Mercenary Corp, and being looked down upon like this was intolerable.

“Dragon Head, you’re seeking death, speaking to us from Nether like that!”

Tang Zhong, hearing the two speak, grinned and said, “Don’t like it?

Alright then, how about I just wipe you out?

How’s that for talking?”
