Chapter 443: The Battle between Love Contractors
When a loud noise of a workshop collapsing was heard from the direction of the abandoned factory, the violent movement caused the surrounding civilians to immediately report the abnormality to the investigators in the royal city. Jiang Yichuan, an expert who came here specifically to deal with the Demon of Love, became the first person to obtain this information.
The reason why the investigation department of the royal city did not send out its own people first but informed Jiang Yichuang of this information was very simple. He and Zhou Yuhao were the alliance's special commissioners who came to this island specifically to defeat the Demon of Love. The monster that the alliance attached so much importance to must be very powerful.
In this situation, sending our own people to attack would be very dangerous, but letting Jiang Yichuang and Zhou Yuhao, two people who are not on our side, take the lead can greatly reduce the risk.
Although these speculations were not all correct, for many reasons, Jiang Yichuang and Zhou Yuhao became the vanguard.
"Hey, I'm taking a shower. Why do I have to go on a mission at this time?" Zhou Yuhao complained impatiently. His hair was wet and stuck to his forehead. Although his body was dry, the shower gel was not wiped off at all, which made him feel weird.
But there is no way. As a professional specialist, this is what you should do when encountering emergencies.
"Captain, why don't you speak?"
"Why are you talking?" Jiang Yichuan steered the wheel and turned a corner.
"Do you think it will be the Demon of Love this time?" Zhou Yuhao asked again.
"It may be, it may not be."
"Then why should we go? What if it's not the case? Should we take action? I don't want to work for these annoying guys in vain."
"If it's not the case, we'll take action based on the circumstances. It's impossible that they haven't considered this, so they will definitely follow us after a while. If it's not the Demon of Love, they will definitely deal with it, and we don't have to do anything. But if it is, they might not help. After all, we agreed before that they would assist us in the investigation, and we would deal with the Demon of Love." Jiang Yichuang said.
As soon as the words fell, the vehicle shook violently and the earth turned upside down!
After a dizzying spin, the impact came!
The airbag popped open with a bang, like a balloon exploding due to over-inflation, and hit Jiang Yichuan in the face.
They were attacked!
Jiang Yichuan felt dizzy, but his professional combat skills made his body move instinctively.
He popped the airbag with one hand, and reached out his right hand to a familiar position beside him, accurately grabbing the long knife at hand. It was a standard long knife manufactured on the assembly line of the Investigation Bureau!
After using the alienation to empower the weapon, Jiang Yichuan turned his wrist and stabbed hard between his feet!
The sharp blade pierced directly through the bottom of the car. Jiang Yichuan then turned his grip and used force with both hands. The friction between the blade and the iron sheet produced a series of sparks. Amid the sharp sound of the metal sheet being torn, the underbody of the car was cut in half!
"Damn it! We're attacked!" Zhou Yuhao shouted loudly. Compared with Jiang Yichuang, his reaction was obviously a beat slower.
Zhou Yuhao shouted loudly and swung the scimitar with a bright blue light. Wherever the blade went, the hard car skin was torn easily like a piece of paper. Jiang Yichuang and Zhou Yuhao turned their heads and feet in the narrow space with incredible movements. After turning over, they grabbed the cracks in the car with their hands and tore the car open directly.
“Bang!”
The attacks continued in succession.
The air cannon with huge impact force bombarded the two of them, car parts shattered and scattered, sharp iron pieces cut through Jiang Yichuan's suit uniform, under the suit was a lean and capable body, those iron pieces and nails with huge kinetic energy hit Jiang Yichuan's muscles, and were directly bounced off as if they hit an extremely elastic rubber wall.
Overlord can weaken the power of supernatural powers and defend against ordinary physical damage.
The enemy's air cannon hiding in the dark did not cause any damage to Jiang Yichuang, but Zhou Yuhao next to him was blown away and overturned by the previous cannon, and half of the car body crashed directly into the closed blacksmith shop next to him.
Under the impact of the half-ton car, the blacksmith shop collapsed completely, burying Zhou Yuhao under the rubble and dust.
Jiang Yichuang took a deep breath, and a pink glow slowly lit up deep in his pupils. His body temperature began to rise, his heart beat faster, and the blood in his body turned into an out-of-control beast, starting to rampage.
The ability to kill demons was activated, and the body had completely entered a combat state. The five senses became extremely sharp. The barely detectable movement in the night wind, the smell of gasoline flowing on the ground, the slight sound of Zhou Yuhao struggling under the rubble...
It doesn't look like a sneak attack, and the other party has no intention of hiding.
In the distance, three people jumped down from a high place, landed in front of Jiang Yichuan, and then slowly stood up. The eyes of the three of them emitted the same pink glow as Jiang Yichuan, which was enough to prove that they, like Jiang Yichuan, had signed a contract with the Devil of Love.
No, they did not sign the contract directly with the Devil of Love, but with Jiang Xueying!
"Very good, it seems this trip was not in vain." Jiang Yichuang said expressionlessly with his lips slightly moving.
The three people standing in front of Jiang Yichuang were all Jiang Xueying's contractors. When they heard the noise here, they guessed that something unexpected had happened to Jiang Xueying, so they rushed here as soon as possible. Before they arrived at the scene, they encountered a car speeding straight towards their hiding place, so they launched an attack without hesitation.
A car heading towards such a remote and deserted place at this time could definitely not belong to an ordinary person, and the three of them were confident that they would not make a mistake.
They guessed right.
The people who came were indeed not ordinary people, but they were too extraordinary.
Ji Hua, Meng Xuecheng and Emerson's expressions all changed when they saw Jiang Yichuan. That expression was hard to describe. It was not the expression of seeing an enemy, it was very subtle and complex. If one had to describe it, it was the expression of a passerby seeing a star they didn't pay much attention to on the street. Although not very excited, they were still very surprised.
"Hey! Are you seeing things? It's the leader's younger brother!" Ji Hua nudged Meng Xuecheng beside him with his elbow and said in a low voice.
Meng Xuecheng nodded slightly and stared at Jiang Yichuan with a serious expression, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Jiang Yichuan was obviously coming for Jiang Xueying, so he had to fight, but... to what extent?
Do you want to kill?
They had heard Jiang Xueying say more than once that if Jiang Yichuan dared to catch up with them again, they would just kill him. However, they had no idea whether Jiang Xueying said this in anger because she felt the trouble was too much or she was serious.
In their opinion, Jiang Xueying was undoubtedly serious. After all, she was very calm and composed when she said it, and she did so many times. The three of them had confirmed each other's intentions several times when they were free, and Jiang Xueying had never changed her words. Her answers were always: It's up to you, it doesn't matter if he is killed, his life is over.
The reason why they hesitated now was because Brother Lei had privately reminded them several times not to listen to Jiang Xueying, that she was just joking and she would never kill Jiang Yichuang.
Lei Qianxin is the second in command. He is reliable and serious. He is meticulous and never jokes in his daily life. His words cannot be ignored.
Therefore, they were very hesitant when they met Jiang Yichuan.
To flee or to fight, that is the question.
If I run away, it would be fine if the other party catches up with me. But if he doesn't chase me and goes straight in the direction of Jiang Xueying, that would be difficult to deal with.
But if they fight, if they show mercy they might be killed by the other side. They had fought with Jiang Yichuan once many years ago. Jiang Yichuan was quite strong then, and he might be even stronger now.
"Why are you still standing there? Just kill him." Emerson stretched his neck and took the lead to walk forward.
Ji Hua and Meng Xuecheng were stunned for a moment, then followed Emerson closely, moving to the left and right to adjust their positions to occupy the best combat terrain.
Since Emerson has taken the lead and set an example, they should follow suit. To be honest, Jiang Yichuan is really too much of a hindrance.
Ji Hua, Meng Xuecheng and Emerson followed Jiang Xueying to travel between various islands, risking their lives to kill all kinds of demons and monsters. Their ultimate goal was to collect chaos fragments, find a chaos demon, and then complete their revenge.
It can be said that what brings them together is the same goal of revenge, which makes them completely different from other groups of illegal contractors. There is a bond of belief between them, and they all know each other's tragic past.
But Jiang Yichuang undoubtedly caused great trouble to their actions. So far, he has caught up with them four times, and once he met Jiang Xueying directly.
In order to avoid Jiang Yichuang, Jiang Xueying finally chose to give up the local hunting target, which made them miss four chaos fragments and slowed down the speed of finding the target of revenge.
So in a sense, Jiang Yichuan's existence was hindering their revenge. If it weren't for Jiang Xueying's order, they would not have allowed Jiang Yichuan to chase them all the time. With Jiang Yichuan's irrational straight-line pursuit, it would be easy for them to set an ambush and counterattack during the journey.
But Jiang Yichuan is very important to Jiang Xueying, and Jiang Xueying is their benefactor and leader, so they have been enduring the troubles brought by Jiang Yichuan.
Now, Jiang Xueying has said several times that she doesn't care about Jiang Yichuang anymore, and even asked them many times to kill Jiang Yichuang the next time they see him.
Although the three of them didn't know whether Jiang Xueying really didn't care about Jiang Yichuan anymore, they had asked her so many times before, so they might as well pretend to be serious.
Seriously... uh... well, I still can't be serious. If he's really joking, then this matter will not end well!
"Hey, Emerson! What are you really going to do?" Jihua asked with a frown.
Emerson glanced at him, as if he were an idiot.
"Are you stupid? Do you think I dare?"
Jihua nodded: "Okay, I understand. Injured, right?"
"That's right, but we should go a step further... cripple him."
Emerson scratched his head and stopped when he was ten meters away from Jiang Yichuan.
This is really troublesome. It would be great if I could just kill him. I really want to kill him, Emerson thought to himself.
He raised his hand and greeted Jiang Yichuan: "Hey, long time no see."
"Who are you?" Jiang Yichuan asked with a cold face.
Emerson was stunned when he heard this, and shook his head in self-mockery. He lowered his head, but when he was halfway through the action, he suddenly raised his hand and fired an air cannon at Jiang Yichuan!
The air vibrated violently, and the dust floating in the air was squeezed away visibly, and a transparent air passage appeared in the darkness !
Jiang Yichuan lowered his body to avoid the impact, retracted the long sword and placed it under his ribs, while stomping his feet on the ground and flying straight out!
His body was close to the ground, moving at high speed like a ghost, quickly approaching the three people!
Jiang Yichuan's eyes moved rapidly, scanning back and forth between the three people, his mind quickly analyzing the confrontation that would occur in half a second.
The blond man in the center opposite has superpowers in addition to the power of the Demon of Love. The superpower seems to be the ability to compress the air and then attack from a long distance.
It is not yet known whether the two people around him are psychics, but even if they are, it does not matter. The abnormal values of these three people should not be too high. They can be resisted head-on with their domineering physical strength, and as for other abilities, they can be ignored directly.
He and the other party were both contractors of the Devil of Love, but he made a direct contract with the Devil of Love, and the cost of the contract was not small, while the three people in front of him made a contract with the Demon of Love. Their power came from Jiang Xueying, and Jiang Xueying could not give them too much power, so in terms of the power of the devil, the other party was no match for him!
Jiang Yichuan swung his sword horizontally, and the blade flew upward at a very strange angle, aiming at Emerson's neck!
The moment Jiang Yichuan made his move, he felt a strong pulling force on his arm, which forcibly reduced the speed of the blade he swung with all his strength to the minimum.
The ability of the Devil of Love [Love Puppet], the three of them hung all the threads on him, so did it slow down his speed?
Jiang Yichuan also activated the Love Puppet and hung the silk thread on his arm. The weapon, which had been slowing down, suddenly sped up again. The tip of the sword brushed Emerson's chest, leaving a blood mark.
"There's something wrong with this kid's contract depth!" Emerson shouted.
Ji Hua threw a punch, hitting Jiang Yichuan's waist and ribs, knocking Jiang Yichuan out.
Jiang Yichuang adjusted his posture in the air, turned over and landed on the ground. With an expressionless face, he reached out and grabbed the displaced fractured bones, moved the broken ribs to the correct position, and then his injuries healed.
"It can't dominate, but it can empower...a little tricky." Jiang Yichuang said coldly.
Before he could finish his words, there was a loud explosion from the blacksmith shop next to him. Stone flew everywhere and a bright blue figure slowly stepped out from the pile of rubble in the floating sand.
Zhou Yuhao was covered with translucent azure armor, like a set of ghost armor, wrapping him tightly. In his hand was a huge scimitar that was completely disproportionate to his body shape. The length of the scimitar was nearly two meters, the blade was transparent blue crystal, and the back of the blade was a ball of burning blue ghost fire.
Zhou Yuhao, wrapped in ghost armor, was in tattered clothes and had many skin wounds on his body, but he didn't seem to be seriously injured.
The first time Meng Xuecheng saw Zhou Yuhao, he felt an indescribable sense of horror and oppression. It was as if there were many cold ghosts staring at him, making his hair stand on end and his body feel cold.
The impression given by that kind of ghost is that they, as humans, cannot touch it, but it is a ghost that can be hurt by the other party at will.
Zhou Yuhao glanced at the three people with disdain, raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, pressed his sore neck, moved his cervical vertebrae, and then showed a belligerent and arrogant smile to the three people in front of him.
"In my life... what I hate most is sneak attacks!"
