The First Order

Chapter 282 - Nearly beaten up!



Chapter 282 Nearly beaten up!

In the end, Ren Xiaosu still came to rescue Li Qingzheng. However, the process was much easier than he had imagined.

He had planned to blow up the lead truck and throw the entire convoy into disarray by using the Explosive Poker cards he had buried in the ground beforehand.

He and Chen Wudi would then rely on their overpowering individual strength to snatch Li Qingzheng back from the mysterious troops. After that, he would quickly create chaos again with the Explosive Poker cards and escape from the battlefield before luring their enemies to where he had planted the Brambles in order to finish them off!

Although this plan was not very well thought out, he could only make do with it in their haste.

However, he was met by Li Shentan instead of the nanosoldiers he had anticipated seeing!

Ren Xiaosu realized what was going on. The so-called rescue of Li Qingzheng from the secret hideout was just a trap set up for him by Hu Shuo and Li Shentan.

The troops who had arrested Li Qingzheng were not mysterious at all. They were from the combat brigade Li Shentan had abducted!

Although Ren Xiaosu did not know what Li Shentan’s motives were, he heaved a sigh of relief. It was still much better than having to face 500 nanosoldiers!

However, it did not feel good to be set up by others. Ren Xiaosu took advantage of the moment Li Shentan was still lying on the ground. His legs tensed up as the heavy armor cracked the ground. He jumped a distance of over 20 meters like he was leaping over a mountain, coming to a rest in front of Li Shentan.

Ren Xiaosu clenched his fists and punched hard at the young man who was smiling at him.

But at this moment, a little girl descended rapidly from the sky. Before Ren Xiaosu could hit Li Shentan, she was already standing in front of him.

She raised her delicate fist and collided it into Ren Xiaosu’s metallic fist. When the force of the collision erupted, a large cloud of dust swept up around them!

Ren Xiaosu had no choice but to take a step back. In the cloud of dust, Li Shentan’s voice could be heard as he spat on the ground. “I ate a bunch of dust!”

When the dust cloud dissipated, Li Shentan was standing and smiling at Ren Xiaosu with a dirty face. “My friend, long time no see.”

“Is this how friends get along?” Ren Xiaosu asked with a frown. He looked at Chen Wudi next to him and thought of beating this guy to death with him.

Although Si Liren just took a powerful punch from him, Ren Xiaosu hadn’t wanted to kill just now. So he had not used all his strength.

But the problem was that even though Ren Xiaosu had already encountered quite a few supernatural beings, this little girl was the only one who could fly. Therefore, uncertain of how strong this little girl was, he would have to join forces with Chen Wudi and attempt to kill them.

The soldiers under the control of Li Shentan did not attack them and just stood in a trance in the same spot as they waited for Li Shentan’s commands.

Li Shentan smiled and said, “You badly want to beat me up to vent, don’t you?”

“Seems like you’re quite good at fortune telling yourself, arentcha?” Li Qingzheng had just gotten off the ground. As his physical fitness was not as good as Li Shentan’s, he almost broke his leg from the fall.

When Li Qingzheng saw Ren Xiaosu, it was as though he had reunited with a family member. “Xiaosu, give him a good beating!”

Li Shentan’s smile turned even broader. “I think you may not have the time to beat me.”

“Whaddya mean?” Ren Xiaosu got a bad feeling

“The Yang Consortium’s nanosoldiers who are responsible for infiltration, carrying out decapitation strikes, and destruction at the rear, are about to reach Stronghold 108. They might even have arrived already. Meanwhile, my troops will start attacking Stronghold 108 in an hour too.” Li Shentan said, “No matter which side starts attacking first, the entire stronghold will be caught in the ravages of war soon. Your friends are still in the stronghold, right? I wonder if they can survive without your help.”

“If I just kill you, wouldn’t your troops stop attacking?” Ren Xiaosu asked.

“It seems that you don’t understand what hypnosis is. Once the hypnotic command is formed in the subconsciousness, the hypnotized subject will still carry out the order even if the hypnotist is no longer around,” Li Shentan explained with a smile. “Furthermore, the Yang Consortium is going to attack even without me. I actually came up with my plan based on their plans.”

Ren Xiaosu remained silent. He was calculating the time frame!

Li Shentan asked, “Do you still want to fight me?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ren Xiaosu decisively turned around to leave. “Wudi, Old Li, let’s go!”

Ren Xiaosu had to find Yan Liuyuan before the war reached the stronghold!

Li Shentan watched as Ren Xiaosu left. After Ren Xiaosu walked away, Li Shentan heaved a long sigh of relief. “What a close shave! I was nearly beaten up.

Si Liren floated beside Li Shentan and asked, “Brother Shentan, didn’t you say your troops would arrive two hours later?”

“If I had said that, I would really have been beaten up just now. Since we aren’t sure we can defeat him and Chen Wudi, we had to lie to make him leave,” Li Shentan said with a smile.

Si Liren wrinkled her nose. “I can defeat him though.”

Li Shentan patted Si Liren on her little head and said, “When a battle is being fought to its most dangerous point, the winner is not decided by who has more power.”

“What decides it then?” Si Liren asked curiously.

“It depends on a person’s will to survive, the rage that stems from the unwillingness to die, the desire to protect one’s family, and the instincts accumulated in the face of the dangerous world. All of that will give him strength.” Li Shentan sighed.

“Bro, you seem to be a little unhappy,” Si Liren asked.

“Mhm.” Li Shentan said as he looked in the direction of where Ren Xiaosu and the other two were going, “Back when I was hiding in the crowd and while I was in the asylum, I kept thinking what if someone were to shout to me, ‘Li Shentan, your old bro is here to save you…’

Li Shentan said calmly, “How great would that be.”

Si Liren blinked at him and said, “I can say that too in the future.”

Li Shentan smiled and said, “But you’re a girl, so you can’t address yourself as old bro.”

“Then I shall address myself as old sis,” Si Liren said in seriousness.

“But you’re still young!”

At a villa in the stronghold, blood was flowing all the way from the yard to the road. Someone in the yard had just cried out for help, but no one came to their rescue. That was because the guards standing outside had already been killed by someone.

Hu Shuo was standing quietly in the living room of the villa and looking at the magnificent decorations in the house. It was as though he had not noticed an injured old man struggling to crawl away. As the old man slowly crawled his way over, the pool of blood seemed to make the marble floor a little more slippery.

But the old man did not give up because a gun was hidden under the couch in front of him!

Hu Shuo said, sounding preoccupied, “What has my daughter done wrong? She only wanted to marry another person, that’s all.”

The old man who was crawling on the ground roared, “How would I know she was your daughter?! Hu Shuo, if you kill me, the entire Li Consortium will not tolerate you!”

At this moment, the old man finally got his hands on the pistol under the couch. He desperately pulled the pistol out and pointed it at Hu Shuo. But when he pulled the trigger, he could only hear the click of an empty chamber. There were no bullets in it.

Hu Shuo looked at him and said, “The Li Consortium? The Li Consortium will cease to exist very soon.”

Hu Shuo had been waiting for this day for nine years.

His daughter was paraded through the streets while his grandson was sent to a psychiatric hospital!

That rage in him would not be satisfied by sacrificing just a few dozen lives. He wanted everyone from the Li Consortium to go down to the Underworld to apologize to his daughter.
