Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 700: The Han Jintong Crisis
Jinbai Hotel, Hong District Shanghai. It was a hotel that was barely three-star. Having an average occupancy rate and mediocre business, only a few guests stayed there.
Han Jintong's skin was pale like a piece of cloth, and bloodstains dyed the corners of his mouth. Scars could be seen all over his body as he sat in a corner of the room on the seventh floor, sewing up his wounds. Four or five meters away from her, a Caucasian woman who was bruised with blonde hair and wearing a tattered robe was also covered in blood.
"Please go, Professor!"
The Caucasian woman had dark red pupils and a pair of sharp nails as her white hands gently stroked the concave bronze mirror she had taken from her left chest.
Han Jintong strongly shook his head and said, “Shanjenna, I may not know why they are chasing you, but you are the best student I have ever had, he said, as well as my sparring partners for several years. cough, cough .. I just can't leave you alone . In such a situation, I will not .. cough, cough .. I cannot leave you alone. ”
A look of despair could be seen on Shanjenna's face as she said, “You've helped me enough, Professor. Now that you have been severely injured, your chances of living will be very slim if you stay with me. I've safely hidden Skull Insignia in the cabinet in the building where we met yesterday. I'm planning to send the Skull Badge to Salzburg to hand it over to my brother after ensuring your safety. It is up to fate whether this is only my brother who can survive. ”
"As I said, I won't leave you alone," Han Jintong said in a deep voice. "If you want to hand over that Skull Insignia to your brother, wait for this crisis to pass before you continue on your own. ”
"The one who's hunting me is Grove Bear, Professor. "Said Shanjenna bitterly. “She was the Golden Badge assassination agent of the Stygian Club. Although the hunting squad he led consisted of only five people, all of them were Silver Badge elites. Two of them were Beastmen, one was Bloodkin, and the last two were Wingmen. Those who fought with us yesterday were the Beastman, Bloodkin, and Wingman, while the other two Silver Badges did not appear. Most importantly, Grove Bear himself had yet to appear. But I'm sure he's definitely coming to Shanghai. We wouldn't have had a chance to escape had he turned up last night. ”
Han Jintong frowned and asked, "Tell me. Why are they hunting you? ”
A fierce expression suddenly covered Shanjenna's face as she replied, The “Shadow Division of the Stygian Club made 'Flesh Factory'. Its members secretly kidnap ordinary humans from all over the world to consume their blood and flesh, devour their souls, and even use them as guinea pigs for their experiments and research in some deadly weapons. I happened to find the specific location of this Flesh Mill, and the record that recorded its coordinates was hidden in the Skull Insignia. ”
Han Jintong's face changed, and he angrily said, “I already knew that the Stygian Club is a malicious organization, so I refused to join. Even when I came back from abroad to live a normal life in China, little did I think they were so crazy to chase you to China and even kill ordinary people here. ”
"You'd better go now, Professor," said Shanjenna. “The enemy is too strong. Once they find us here, I'll take it myself. So, you have to hurry and escape. ”
"Stop persuading me, Shanjenna," Han Jintong said as he gritted his teeth. “There's no point in continuing life without honor when I can't even protect my own students. However, we will not be able to deal with this Assassin by relying on our strength. I need the help of my old friends. ”
With that said, he propped himself up with great difficulty by leaning against a wall, picking up a cell phone whose battery was ejected, and reassembling the battery. He immediately sighed in relief after seeing that the phone was still working. Just as he was about to dial the number, he seemed to realize something suddenly, and then looked at Shanjenna.
Two of my old friends have powers comparable to mine, while Shanjenna and I together don't even match those three assassins. I fear it will still be useless even if we call them, and will even involve them instead. But if I don't ask them for help, how can I resolve this imminent crisis? Han Jintong's face kept changing.
After a long silence, Tang Xiu's face suddenly appeared in his mind.
Would he help if I asked him? With his identity and ability, it would be easy for him to deal with this murderous agent. How much should I pay if he agrees?
He kept thinking and hesitating.
When Han Jintong glanced at the tattered and battered Shanjenna, she finally gritted her teeth and dialed Tang Xiu's cell number.
****
The Paradise Club.
Tang Xiu and Ouyang Lulu had just arrived. Before they even got out of the car, he heard his phone buzzing. After looking at the number displayed on the screen, he hooked it up and spoke, "Do you have any problems calling me?"
With a hint of hope in his tone, Han Jintong said, “May I ask for your help, Sir. A smell? And, what price do I have to pay to help me? ”
"Not interested!" Tang Xiu replied and hung up the phone immediately. If Han Jintong did not say that last sentence, he would probably consider it, but the old man actually asked what price he would have to pay in return for his help, instead, it was an assumption that he was a bit disgusted with her.
"Who is that, Tang Xiu?" Ouyang Lulu, who got off the car, asked Tang Xiu.
"Important person who wants me to help her," Tang Xiu said.
Ouyang Lulu did not ask anymore and deftly wrapped her hands into Tang Xiu's hands and smilingly said, “You will be the Boss husband of our Heaven's Club from today onwards. So this is going to be our family business, and you can do whatever you want in managing it. If anything, all the money invested here is the result of his own efforts. So, I have no problem even if it is completely gone. At worst, I would just go to my family to ask for money as a dowry. ”
Boss' husband?
****
The Jinbai Hotel.
Han Jintong's expression was bitterness upon hearing the beep tone from the phone. He did not think that Tang Xiu would be such a sensitive and heartless person to refuse directly without him even asking for what help he needed.
"It's no use, Professor. ”
Shanjenna's lower lips squirmed, revealing her two fangs. There was despair in his eyes, before suddenly becoming cold. His gaze turned to the door as a pair of broken wings came out from his back. For example they opened, he ran and came to Han Jintong's side almost in an instant, stretched out his hand to grab her shoulder, and ran towards the window to the outside.
His speed was extremely fast, leaving only afterimages in the air when his figure had already rushed to the opposite side of the five-story building.
Clinking…
The silver bullet shot forward with a forward twisting motion as if tearing through the space barrier and directly hit the wings of Shanjenna. The fire was then burned in the wings, while Shanjenna screamed miserably and immediately fell to the top of the building. Fortunately, Han Jintong's reaction was quick, as he directly grabbed it and jumped to the other side downstairs the next moment.
He was already injured, thus affecting his current actions. But because his cultivation level was rather high, his hand instantly grabbed the window on the second floor after falling, smashing the glass window with his kick and running while carrying Shanjenna.
He must run! He was ready to let go of everything he had in order to escape!
Since the enemy had already caught up with them, they had to flee as far away as possible, or just a dead end would welcome them.
Han Jintong had never imagined that these assassins would be this brave and dare to act in the downtown area in broad daylight. This place was Chinese territory, could it be that these assassins were not afraid to interfere with the powerhouses residing in China?
Suddenly, a bold idea came to Han Jintong's mind as he dashed quickly in the corridor. He quickly kicked the door into the room at the side and brought Shanjenna inside. He then grabbed a chair, ran to the window and threw it to the floor below.
He had to make a fuss, and it was best to make a huge mess. He did not believe that those assassins actually dared to expose their terrifying strength in the midst of a major incident. Furthermore, he thought that just in the midst of confusion they might have a glimmer of hope to escape.
Nearest.
On the streets where endless streams of pedestrians were walking, passers-by suddenly heard the sound of glass breaking, immediately followed by chairs and broken glass falling. Some people almost got hit when they screamed and ran away. The incident attracted a large number of pedestrian eyes, as they looked at the second-floor window of the building.
Under the telephone pole, two young men wearing jackets and smoking cigarettes stood still and looked around aimlessly. They received orders from the leaders above and went out to find some strange people. The exact order given to them was that what they were looking for was not humans, but vampires and Demihumans — Beastmen from Western legends.
"What the hell is going on?"
The two young men exchanged glances and subconsciously walked towards the scene of the accident. They took out their monoculars at this time.
"Sir, look over there!"
Suddenly, the young man's body shivered. He had just raised his arm, only to find that the flashing figure had disappeared on the opposite side of the building.
"What's wrong?" The young man called Yes asked curiously.
The young man who had just called out to him wore an excited expression and quickly said, "I dare to guarantee it is the shadow of someone who blinked before, 100% sure! Someone who can fly, for the sake of Gods! That should be the target we're looking for. ”
"Hurry up and report!"
"okay!"
Inside the five-story building, Han Jintong dragged the badly injured and retracted wings, as well as dizzying Shanjenna and dashed to the window at the end of the left corridor. The moment he opened the window, he immediately jumped down and mingled in the flow of people, finally disappearing amidst the crowd without much effort.
On the rooftop of the building, a strong and burly middle-aged man with a red light in his eyes was looking towards where Han Jintong and Shanjenna had disappeared. He licked his lips and spoke to himself in a thick tone, "You can run, but you can never escape! I can still smell Darksoul on you from a few hundred miles away. ”
