Chapter 69: The Price of Self-Conceit
Li Shu stood not far behind Xiao Yao, just standing quietly.
Xiao Yao didn't look back, but he felt as if a pair of eyes were staring at him, he wanted to come to this embankment on a temporary basis, no one knew that he was coming, and Tang Xiao didn't know.
His face was always facing the river, and no one should be able to recognize him from his back.
Did this Li Shu recognize him?
Sure enough, Li Shu slowly walked towards Xiao Yao.
He came to Xiao Yao's side, picked up the fish basket and looked at it, and said with a smile: "I haven't caught it yet!" β
"These fish are picky eaters and don't bite the hook." Xiao Yao knew that he had been recognized, and said with a smile.
"You're not catching a fish, are you me?" Li Shu stared straight at Xiao Yao.
"How do you know I'm waiting for you?" Xiao Yao's muscles were tense all over his body, ready to fight at any time.
"Actually, I don't have to come to the embankment every day, and I deliberately set aside two hours a day to do this, do you know why?" Li Shu said condescendingly.
"You're fishing?" Xiao Yao suddenly understood.
Li Shu nodded and said, "There are a lot of people who want to kill me, I want to know who they are, so I can give those people a chance." β
"You're conceited." Xiao Yao didn't expect this Li Shu to use himself as bait to catch killers.
Li Shu smiled and said: "Of course, I have conceited capital, there are not many people in this world who can make me vigilant, you are one of them." β
"I'm just an abandoned son of the Xiao family." The corners of Xiao Yao's mouth pursed downward.
"Come on! It's okay for the old man of the Xiao family to deceive others with this kind of thing, how can he deceive me. Li Shu shook his head and said.
"Don't tell me that you're waiting for me in this bureau." Xiao Yao asked teasingly.
Li Shu smiled, clapped his hands thoughtfully, and said, "You are also very conceited." β
"Each other, each other." Xiao Yao shrugged.
Li Shu said: "You've only been in the secret place for a few days, and it won't be so quick to set up a situation for you, but since you have encountered it, it's good to arrest you back to prevent trouble." β
"You think I'm going to kill you?" Xiao Yao squinted and asked.
Li Shu said: "All the people who have been tortured by the black fog will want to kill me, including you, and if you don't kill now, it's because you haven't laid out the game yet, and you're not ready." β
Xiao Yao's heartbeat was fast at this moment, he doubted that Li Shu could see the future, he twisted his eyebrows, kept thinking about Li Shu's words, knowing that the people he had been in the black fog were all in Lin Hua's village, and he thought that it must be the person from the village who revealed the news.
Seeing that Xiao Yao didn't deny it, Li Shu continued: "I'm curious about how you resist these black fogs, some people guess that it may be that your Xiao family's original heavenly scripture is very special, is that so?" β
Xiao Yao sneered and said, "You want to tie me back, not because I have murderous intentions towards you, but because I want to know the secret on my body, right?" β
Li Shuzheng said awe-inspiringly: "If you don't have murderous intent, then we can cooperate, but if you have murderous intent, I have to tie you back and kill you." β
"Don't talk about your greed so righteously, you think I'll give you the secret? Wouldn't it be naΓ―ve? Xiao Yao said sarcastically.
Li Shu smiled lightly and said, "You probably don't know how powerful Sanshui Company's technology is, as long as you have it in your memory, we can get it, not how strong your willpower is, we don't even have to torture you." β
"Why should I go with you?" Xiao Yao's body was already functioning, he might not be able to beat the female bodyguard, but he was confident that he could escape from her.
"Do you have a choice?" Li Shu's face gradually turned cold.
As he finished speaking, three fishermen stood up around him, and three people walking on the riverbank approached slowly. plus that female bodyguard, there are a total of seven sixth-order peak masters.
Li Shu pointed to the river behind Xiao Yao and said, "I have already investigated clearly, you are afraid of water, so I chose this place." β
Xiao Yao was stunned for a moment, not many people knew about water for fear of water, but he didn't expect that the Li family's intelligence system could even find out about it.
He took a deep breath, and the next moment, when his mind moved, seven fireballs suddenly appeared in front of the seven sixth-order masters, the fireballs had no fuel, and they were all transformed by the essence in Xiao Yao's body.
At the moment when the fireball ignited, Xiao Yao also moved, countless flames rose around his whole body, and the whole person rushed towards Li Shu with his own flames.
As the saying goes, capture the thief and capture the king first, only if you can catch Li Shu and let the seven killers throw a mouse trap, can you create a chance to escape.
His flaming hand was stuck on Li Shu's neck, but Li Shu's face was still with a faint smile, and he didn't seem to take Xiao Yao in his eyes at all.
"You don't seem to be afraid." Xiao Yao gritted his teeth and asked.
"Should I be afraid?" Li Shu asked lightly.
Xiao Yao's hand slowly exerted, but suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his palm, as if countless spikes pierced his skin.
Immediately after, endless black mist entered his body from his palm.
Xiao Yao let go of Li Shu's neck with a muffled snort, and took a few steps back like lightning.
He raised his right palm to his eyes, and the entire right palm was covered with dense blood holes, and the blood holes were not large, as if they had been pierced by a silver needle.
The Primordial Celestial Scripture in his body spontaneously functioned, transporting the black mist that had entered his body into the blackened fireball.
"Your defense ......," Xiao Yao said in surprise.
He remembered that someone would fill the dog's collar with outward needles, and if other animals attacked the dog's neck, they would be pierced by needles, but he didn't expect that this Li Shu also had a "collar" around his neck.
Li Shu didn't hide it, and said: "Our Li family's research on metal materials is beyond your imagination, and when I put on this nano skin and stand here and beat you, you may not be able to break it." β
"I don't know if your turtle shell is resistant to high temperatures." Xiao Yao's palm burst into flames.
The seven sixth-order masters all stood there motionless, as if they had no intention of coming up to help.
Li Shu still smiled indifferently, not taking Xiao Yao's threat in his eyes at all, or being too conceited about his nano-skin defense.
Xiao Yao suddenly had some bad premonitions, was his superpower too weak? Or was he completely killed?
Whether it's useful or not, always fight it. Getting caught was never an option in his life.
The next moment, Xiao Yao moved again, and the whole person was like a fire.
A string of flames sprang up in front of his palm, and those flames instantly condensed into the shape of one palm after another, a total of nine. He had brought out all the nine fireballs in his body, and the essence of a fireball in his body had been condensed in one palm, and he would have no strength to fight under this blow.
Nine flame palms slapped at Li Shu's heart one after another, and if you looked closely, the first palm turned out to be black.
Li Shu was very conceited about his skin defense equipment, so he just stood there and didn't move, letting Xiao Yao pat him on the chest.
With a muffled snort, Li Shu took a few steps back, and then sat on the ground, a palm-shaped hole in his chest was slapped, his skin was burned by the flames, and faint black particles were desperately burrowing into his skin.
Li Shu looked down, and his indifferent expression finally mixed with a hint of panic at this moment. He gritted his teeth and yelled at the seven thugs, "Arrest him." β
Then he took out a dagger and slashed it on his chest without hesitation. He knew too well what those black particles were, it was black fog, a black fog that he had invented himself.
