Chapter 390 - 390 390 A Matter of Life and Death

390: Chapter 390: A Matter of Life and Death 390: Chapter 390: A Matter of Life and Death “Okay, but you must come back.” Xu Han wiped her tears hard and nodded.

“Stay down here and don’t move.” Ye Shikai comforted gently.

With a speed of over a hundred meters, it felt like a runaway rollercoaster on a regular subway train.

Ye Shikai headed towards the front of the train.

Suddenly, the train shook violently, staggering everyone.

Ye Shikai almost fell to the ground.

Outside the window, a blinding light suddenly shone in, and everyone instinctively covered their eyes.

The subway had reached the light rail section.

Now, on the light rail and with this speed, it was truly a “rollercoaster.” Seizing the moment, Ye Shikai immediately ran forward and quickly reached the foremost car.

“Hades, you finally came.

Lord Refining Mo’s prediction was indeed correct.” In front of the driver’s cabin stood a man in black, holding a sharp blade.

Ye Shikai recognized him at a glance—it was Rong Yuan.

“Rong Yuan, today I am going to kill you,” Ye Shikai said coldly, looking at the male corpse next to him dressed as the driver.

As expected, Rong Yuan had disguised himself as a passenger, then took the opportunity to kill the driver and take control of the entire train.

“Haha, Hades, indeed your strength is stronger than mine, but have you forgotten about the passengers in this train?” Refining Mo spoke with a laugh, slowly taking off his jacket.

He was strapped with a string of explosives and grenades.

With that amount, he could easily blow up the entire head of the train, causing the whole subway to detach and fall if the front exploded.

“What now, do you still dare to make a move?” Rong Yuan sneered.

As his words fell, a shadow appeared in his vision.

The only way to break this deadlock was to catch him off guard and take Rong Yuan out in one go, something he wouldn’t expect Ye Shikai to do so quickly.

“Bang.” Rong Yuan quickly raised his arm, a blade in front blocking, but Ye Shikai was too fast.

A punch landed directly on Rong Yuan’s arm, emitting a light cracking sound.

Rong Yuan bellowed, releasing the strange stone energy within him.

In the small cabin, the immense release of energy caused severe shaking.

Rong Yuan moved, vanishing instantly.

Ye Shikai slightly sidestepped, and a blade slashed past him, cutting through iron as if it were mud, slicing a nearby rail in half.

“You’re still too slow,” Ye Shikai sneered, leaping on the spot.

A heavy knee strike landed directly on Rong Yuan’s chin, spraying blood.

“Ptui.” Rong Yuan’s mouth was bloody; the fierce blow knocked out three of his teeth and broke his nose, blood flowing profusely.

Ye Shikai did not give him a chance to breathe, his fists pounding on Rong Yuan’s face like pistons, avoiding hitting his body which was strapped with explosives.

Seizing the chance, Ye Shikai grabbed Refining Mo’s arm.

Suddenly, he felt a surge of pure energy entering his body.

Rong Yuan’s complexion changed as the energy within him drained away like water.

Seeing Ye Shikai’s expression, he instantly realized the crisis.

“How can you absorb my energy?” Rong Yuan struggled fiercely to free himself from Ye Shikai’s hold, yelling out loud.

“Haha, your time of death has arrived.” Ye Shikai suddenly remembered that he had absorbed the energy within Refining Mo’s body before; if he was not mistaken, it was the energy from the strange stone.

Ye Shikai moved, his figure flickering like a ghost, outpacing his own shadow, closing in rapidly.

Rong Yuan’s face turned pale, he stepped back abruptly, swinging his blade forward, but only struck a residual image.

Suddenly, his arms felt a sharp pain as Ye Shikai’s hands, like two large iron clamps, firmly restrained Rong Yuan.

“Ah.” Rong Yuan screamed loudly, his pain audible.

Energy transferred once again between the two, with gains and losses leading to Ye Shikai fully taking the upper hand.

The energy from the strange stone was continuously absorbed into Ye Shikai’s body, gathering near his Dantian.

It felt like a magnet there, ceaselessly drawing in energy, like an insatiable abyss.

Ye Shikai, like a leech, greedily absorbed the energy within Rong Yuan’s body.

As the energy drained, Rong Yuan’s appearance visibly changed at a noticeable speed; his black hair slowly turned white, and his skin became dry and rough…

In just one minute, Rong Yuan had aged into a withered old man, looking utterly drained.

“Ha…

Hades, do you think defeating me is useful?

Refining Mo has already succeeded in the lab.

Those people from Hong Kong are no match for him at all, ha, ha, ha.” Rong Yuan revealed a fierce smile.

He, too, approached madness like Refining Mo, stretching out his thin, withered arm to pull the detonator cord.

Ye Shikai moved swiftly, shaking to the side of Rong Yuan in a flash, and struck down hard towards the head with a punch.

Rong Yuan, dead.

Ye Shikai quickly removed the explosives strapped on the corpse.

Being military-trained, this kind of task was second nature to him.

At that moment, a scream echoed from the carriage, and Ye Shikai sharply looked ahead, barely discerning the end in the distance.

The light rail was rapidly approaching the final station…

“Bang.” Ye Shikai, with an elbow strike, immediately broke through the door of the driver’s cabin and rushed in.

He dashed over to the control panel and accessed the system.

“Vehicle status, vehicle information, vehicle speed, found it, here.” Ye Shikai nervously manipulated the operating system, his fingers trembling non-stop.

Clicking into the speed section, Ye Shikai immediately selected emergency braking.

Squeal, squeal, squeal…

The friction beneath the vehicle intensely sparked, and the massive inertia caused everyone to fall over in the carriage, while the shrill sound of the brakes left them all in suspense.

Ye Shikai ran out of the carriage, and in the crowd found Xu Han, embracing her tightly.

Squeal, squeal, squeal…

Everyone clenched their teeth, eyes tightly shut, while the intense friction noise outside gradually faded away.

One second, two seconds…

eight seconds, nine seconds…

The carriage fell utterly silent, so quiet that only breathing and the ‘thump, thump’ of heartbeats could be heard.

Ye Shikai slowly opened his eyes, and beneath him, Xu Han clung to him like a koala, her hands tightly grasping him, her body trembling.

Ye Shikai slowly stood up and forcefully pried the carriage door open.

Outside, countless people were watching them, including firefighters, paramedics, traffic police, and a crowd of citizens…

The next second, cheers resounded through the skies, the train had stopped at the very edge at the last moment.

Firefighters and paramedics immediately rushed forward, and the crowd inside the carriage embraced each other, shedding tears of relief.
