"What are you waiting for, hurry up and complete your task." Seeing Ouyang Lingtian's surprised face, Xia Liu felt extremely satisfied inside. After this time, that guy should no longer underestimate him. Ouyang Lingtian lightly smiled, he didn't retort, quickly making his way through the corridor. Following the mental map in his head, Ouyang Lingtian brought Xia Liu to a hidden laboratory. There were several gun-toting ninjas in the laboratory, who were killed by Xia Liu upon encounter. There were also a few researchers in white lab coats. Xia Liu didn't take action, it was Ouyang Lingtian who wiped them out. According to his thinking, these developers with precious memories should be eliminated as they would only bring disaster. "The Demon Stone is yours," Ouyang Lingtian said, looking at the slick black stone sealed within the glass cover. Xia Liu certainly wasn't shy, he wrapped the Demon Stone after taking off a researcher's white lab coat. As for Ouyang Lingtian, he took out a USB drive, plugged it into the computer, and rapidly typed a bunch of things. After downloading what he needed, he started rummaging through the drawers. Finally, he found a hand-copied top-secret document. "Are you done?" Xia Liu waited for a while, having smoked two cigarettes, and this guy was still not finished, seriously slow. "Almost there." "Then let's go." "Aren't you interested in my task?" Ouyang Lingtian asked in confusion. Xia Liu glanced indifferently at the documents in his hand and said, "That trash? America hasn't succeeded, let alone Huaxia. Even if they succeed, I believe with your Mysterious Rank Mid-Level strength, you'll sweep them all." "Hmm? You know!" Although Xia Liu's words were not explicit, Ouyang Lingtian heard them. Read exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire Xia Liu knew the contents of the document in his hand, and even knew the progress and outcome! This was somewhat terrifying. "Merely the idle thoughts of a bored person; hopefully, once they bring it back to Huaxia, they will be careful with the experiments. Otherwise, it's just wasting lives." After speaking, Xia Liu didn't bother explaining further and took the lead in leaving the laboratory. "He actually showed such concern; that's a bit surprising." Ouyang Lingtian, who had let down his guard around Xia Liu, couldn't help but sigh in amazement. "By the way, how is your poison? Do you still have the energy to break through the guards?" In the process of descending the stairs, Xia Liu suddenly remembered to ask. "This bit of poison can't trouble me..." Ouyang Lingtian hadn't finished his sentence when he suddenly spat out a mouthful of thick black blood. His face turned three shades paler in that instant. "Tsk, even at this point, you're still trying to act tough; I admire you for that," Xia Liu said, shaking his head. "Xia Liu! Promise me one thing, help me take this document and USB drive back and give them to General Fang!" Knowing that death was imminent, Ouyang Lingtian let go of all burdens, allowing his most vulnerable side to be seen by Xia Liu. "Don't talk now; I'll help you suppress the poison for a while." Without giving Ouyang Lingtian a chance to refuse, Xia Liu activated the Five Elements Mantra, and with spiritual energy, he opened the shirt on his chest. Then, he rapidly inserted ten silver needles into Ouyang Lingtian's chest. A familiar warmth spread once more from his chest, and Ouyang Lingtian's eyes trembled as he watched Xia Liu. He was astonished again; Xia Liu actually possessed such profound medical skills. If it weren't for the relief in his heart and lungs, Ouyang Lingtian wouldn't dare believe it even in death. A few minutes later, Xia Liu retracted the needles: "If the poison hasn't reached your five internal organs, I might have been able to help you resolve it, but now I cannot." "That's enough, thank you, Xia Liu. With these skills, I believe Fang Fei will be very happy with you." Ouyang Lingtian finally admitted that Xia Liu was more capable than himself and more suitable for Fang Fei. "Eh, eh, eh..." Looking at Ouyang Lingtian's pale face, and hearing these words of gratitude, Xia Liu couldn't bring himself to feel happy at all. "My life won't last much longer, before I die, help me one last time." As he spoke, Ouyang Lingtian handed over a USB drive and documents to Xia Liu. Xia Liu glanced at the documents, but ultimately did not accept them. "Xia Liu! I'm begging you, if there's an afterlife, I am willing to be your servant to repay you!" Ouyang Lingtian said, his eyes turning red when he saw Xia Liu rejecting the documents. He had risked his life for this mission; if he couldn't deliver the documents back to Huaxia even with his life at stake, then his life would be wasted. "You should take them back yourself." After a long silence, Xia Liu slowly spoke. Take them back himself? Ouyang Lingtian was stunned, he had so little time left, how could he possibly return with the items? "It's just the Yagyū Family, a mere trip is all it takes." "You're going to fetch the antidote for me?" "Put the thanks on hold for now, see if you can Increase Energy; several tanks and an Elite Group have already arrived outside." Through the window, Xia Liu saw the scene below, guards were deployed all around the building. To escape with Ouyang Lingtian in tow, speed was no longer the key. And after shattering that Ninja's Godslayer, Xia Liu had consumed a significant amount of Spiritual Energy. "My Inner Qi is nearly exhausted, you should break out on your own." Ouyang Lingtian took a deep look downstairs, and ultimately could only shake his head in resignation. "Heh, that's not up to you, just wait inside, I'll go out and wipe them out!" Xia Liu sneered, then quickly headed downstairs. "Xia Liu..." With no sign of Xia Liu left in sight, a heavy sorrow rose in Ouyang Lingtian's heart. He didn't know what got into him; he had been ready to give up his life, yet seeing Xia Liu about to confront the Elite Group alone, his will to live surged with force. "Yan Min! The forces from the suburbs have already reached the front of the building! Why hasn't Lingtian come out yet?" In the car, Muzi asked anxiously. She had been keeping an eye on the situation, and her heart grew more anxious as the Elite Group arrived. "I don't know! Twenty minutes have passed, if Lingtian hasn't come out by now, then maybe he..." Yan Min's throat choked up, unable to finish his sentence. Muzi fell silent as well, more than twenty minutes had passed, and if Ouyang Lingtian had completed the mission, he would have been out by now. But now... "Wait! Something's happening! Someone is coming out of the building!" Just as the two were losing hope. Suddenly, Yan Min saw a figure slowly walking out of the building! "Is it Lingtian?" Muzi asked loudly. "Hmm! It should be." Yan Min couldn't see clearly, he wasn't sure. "No, that's wrong! Lingtian wouldn't walk out so openly! It's Xia Liu!" Recognizing the person emerging, Yan Min screamed in surprise. It's Xia Liu! It's Xia Liu! Muzi was stunned too; it was Xia Liu! "On guard!" Seeing Xia Liu walk out of the main entrance so casually, the guards at the door immediately shouted and all pointed their guns at him. "It's over! He could have run; with his speed, why did he let the guards spot him, it's like courting death!" Yan Min's tears were nearly bursting out.
