Chapter 1712 - 1713: Purgatory, Black Emperor!
Chapter 1712 - 1713: Purgatory, Black Emperor!
As the cold-faced man’s shout fell, hundreds of eyes locked onto the heavy metal box beneath Ye Xuan.Every gaze was filled with shocking greed and bloodlust!
Ye Xuan frowned, his unpleasant expression hiding a hint of barely noticeable panic, as if annoyed that the metal box beneath him had been discovered.
The already tense atmosphere became even more chillingly agitated.
Danger was imminent!
The seductive and alluring woman stared at the heavy metal box for a long time, then sneered, "Black Emperor, stop pretending, the Source Stone is hidden in the box beneath you!"
Ye Xuan retorted, "I don’t understand what you’re saying!"
"Don’t understand?" The bald man sneered, "Black Emperor, if you insist on playing dumb and wasting time here, your teammates might very well be poisoned to death!"
Ye Xuan furrowed his brow and fell silent.
"Are you still waiting for rescue?" The bald man continued to laugh, "Don’t be foolish, no one will come to save you, Purgatory is far away on the battlefield, there’s only Ye Lang in the East Sea, him alone, what can he do?"
Still silent, Ye Xuan held tightly onto the metal box, unwilling to relax for even a moment.
Under the strong allure of the Source Stone, the bald man grew increasingly impatient, "I’ll count to three, after three, if you still don’t hand over the Source Stone, I’ll kill one of your teammates for every count of three. If I kill them all and you still don’t hand it over, then I’ll have no choice but to kill you too!"
As soon as the words fell, the bald man raised his large hand and held up three fingers.
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
After the count, the entire forest fell silent!
Ye Xuan remained tightly guarding the metal box, showing no intention of handing it over.
The bald man closed his eyes briefly and then smirked, suddenly pulling out a pistol from his waist and pointing the black muzzle at Xiong Shan, who was foaming at the mouth, decisively ready to pull the trigger.
"Wait!" Ye Xuan finally couldn’t sit still and shouted loudly.
The bald man grinned, "Finally willing to be honest?"
Ye Xuan gritted his teeth, glaring angrily at the bald man, "I’ll give it to you, the metal box, I’ll give it to you!"
"Good!" The bald man nodded with satisfaction, "Then bring it to me now, bring it to me!"
Ye Xuan said cautiously, "Come and get it yourself."
The bald man frowned, his eyes scanning around Ye Xuan twice, wary of getting too close.
The bald man was a cautious person, he was well aware of the kind of enemy he was facing this time.
Purgatory, Black Emperor!
This man was a legend, so much so that on the entire planet, those who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him were few and far between!
Even though Ye Xuan and others looked incredibly battered, even on the brink of death, the bald man still subconsciously felt uneasy. There was always the feeling that... the Black Emperor wouldn’t be taken down so easily.
Very likely, this was a trap!
The bald man turned his gaze to an assassin beside him and ordered, "You go."
"Yes!"
The assassin nodded, then cautiously stepped towards Ye Xuan.
Every eye fixed on the metal box, the intensely quiet atmosphere was tinged with tension, especially for the assassin responsible for retrieving the metal box, so much so that even his breathing was cautious.
In this bizarre tension, the assassin reached Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan got up voluntarily, sighed deeply, "Take it away."
The assassin gave Ye Xuan a reluctant look, took a deep breath, bent over, picked up the metal box, and carefully went back.
At this time, if Ye Xuan made even a slight move, the forest would erupt in gunfire.
Fortunately, Ye Xuan didn’t make any move.
The assassin carried the metal box back to the bald man.
The bald man looked at Ye Xuan suspiciously and said in a deep voice, "Open it."
"Yes!"
The assassin responded, squatted down, and opened the metal box.
Everyone nearby focused their gaze on the metal box, especially the bald man, whose breath was momentarily halted in excitement before the box opened!
But in the next second.
As the box opened, everyone’s expressions stiffened.
The bald man’s eyes widened in rage!
"Damn, it’s just an empty box!" The bald man exploded in anger, furiously aiming his pistol at Ye Xuan, growling, "How dare you fool me?"
"Fool you? How did I fool you?" Ye Xuan had an innocent look, "I told you, I don’t even know what the Source Stone you mentioned is. You said it was hidden in the metal box, what does it have to do with me?"
"You..."
The bald man was furious and in his rage was about to shoot.
The seductive woman hurriedly stopped him, "Stay calm, bald man! Black Emperor must know where the Source Stone is, we can’t kill him yet!"
The bald man gritted his teeth, calming down a bit.
The cold-faced man coolly watched Ye Xuan and solemnly demanded, "Where’s the Source Stone? Speak!"
"I don’t know." Ye Xuan shrugged, his face playful, "Even if I knew, I wouldn’t tell you."
"Damn it..."
The bald man and others were so furious they felt toothache.
Up till now, how could they not realize Ye Xuan was stalling for time? He was scheming to stall for time!
No one knew why he was stalling for time, but they didn’t need to think to know it probably wasn’t good for them.
Absolutely couldn’t let him stall any longer!
Bang bang bang!
The bald man fired several shots into the sky, the piercing loud gunfire shattered the peace for miles.
Then, the bald man pointed his gun at Xiong Shan again, snarling, "I’ll countdown again, if you don’t honestly explain, I’ll kill all your teammates!"
"Three!"
"Two!"
The bald man started counting down.
Hundreds of Holy Mansion members tightly gripped their weapons, ready to unleash a ruthless slaughter at the bald man’s command.
But at this moment.
"Flowers in my heart, I want to take you home, in that midnight bar..."
An extremely discordant phone ringing suddenly sounded in the intense silence, directly disrupting the murderous atmosphere.
Everyone was startled and turned thoughtfully towards Ye Xuan.
"Sorry, let me take this call first."
Ye Xuan awkwardly smiled, pulled out the phone from his pocket, and answered the call right there.
On the other end, Ye Lang’s voice came through, "The headquarters of the Holy Mansion has been found, Ye Lang, mission accomplished!"
"Received."
Ye Xuan hung up the call.
Putting away the phone, Ye Xuan grinned broadly and looked at the bald man and others with amusement, "Thank you all, thank you for helping me find your headquarters."
Holy Mansion members: "..."
What the heck?
Before they could react.
Ye Xuan, who was severely injured moments ago, suddenly seemed reborn, with a slight move, disappearing from the spot.
Similarly, the critically injured Chi Lian and others vanished like phantoms.
In an instant!
The bloody wind surged!
