Chapter 1698: Futile Protection

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Everything happened within three seconds.

Lu Siya did not slow down. Dragging the afterimage of electric arcs, she rushed up the mountain of discarded monster materials.

Whether it was the crystal bullets that whistled through the air, the blades that the Ghost a.s.sa.s.sins deployed, or the three or five skin-flaying monsters that jumped high and opened their b.l.o.o.d.y mouths in a ferocious stance, neither of them seemed capable of stopping her from clearing a b.l.o.o.d.y path.

However, during that high-intensity situation, a new roadblock suddenly appeared before Lu Siya.

It was not the Ghost a.s.sa.s.sins.

!!

It was two Reapers.

They seemed to be the employees of the warehouse.

They were responsible for scanning and picking up materials of abandoned monsters, which contained weak spirit energy, and valuable materials for refining.

The two Reapers were both ordinary people. They were wearing airtight protective suits that could resist toxins, corrosion, and radiation. They had been focused on their work the entire time.

Since their airtight protective suits were too heavy and stuffy, and since they were too tired and slow, the two Reapers did not realize what had happened the moment the wall collapsed.

Even if they did, as ordinary people, they would not be able to react in the best way the moment Lu Siya appeared in front of them at lightning speed.

The two Reapers could only panic and be struck dumb.

Through their protective clothing’s transparent masks, one could see that their faces had instantly lost all color.

The two Reapers looked very similar. One had white hair on his temples, while the other seemed childlike. They looked like a poor mother-and-daughter pair who had been forced to do such dirty and tiring work.

Of course, such a lowly pair would not be able to stop Lu Siya, who was shooting at them like a saber of lightning.

With Lu Siya’s flexibility and agility, she could jump high or spin like a top and bypa.s.s them if she did not want to hurt the lowly mother and daughter.

However, the sniper’s crystal bullets, the Ghost a.s.sa.s.sins’ soul-chasing blades, and the extremely vicious skin-flaying monsters had increased their speed to the maximum. The sound of howling wind lingered behind her head.

If she jumped over or bypa.s.sed them, the ignorant mother and daughter would be instantly torn to pieces by the crystal bullets, the soul-chasing blades, and the skin-flaying monsters’ bloodthirsty fangs.

Meng Chao’s pupils contracted abruptly while he observed the scene from afar. The muscles and fibers all over his body tightened to the extreme.

No matter what the original plan was, there was a line that Meng Chao would never cross.

He would never watch an innocent person die tragically in front of him.

Two golden rays then exploded in the deepest part of Meng Chao’s abyssal black pupils like supernovas.

The radiant golden rays instantly overflowed from his eye sockets, forming mysterious and complicated golden spirit tattoos around his eyes.

It was time to make a move.

However, just as Meng Chao was about to unleash his Deity Realm power without holding back and save the mother and daughter, Lu Siya made a move that no one expected.

She actually stopped in her tracks.

She neither dashed through the s.p.a.ce below the mother and daughter nor jumped over or go around them.

Instead, she spread out her arms desperately, gritted her teeth, and activated her vitality magnetic field. As if she had exhausted the spirit energy in her body, she formed a visible spirit shield around her, protecting the mother and daughter from the bottom!

Shua!

Soon after, a pair of burning golden wings seemed to grow out of Lu Siya’s back, protecting the two Reapers perfectly like a hen protecting its chicks.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The crystal bullets, the soul-chasing blades, and the skin-flaying monsters that came one after another crashed into the defense line that Lu Siya had built with her vitality magnetic field. That immediately triggered layers of fireb.a.l.l.s and flames of light. One could hear the terrible pressure Lu Siya was under just from the deafening explosions alone.

“How could this be?!”

Meng Chao’s eyes were on stalks.

He could not understand what he was seeing. “Why did Lu Siya give everything up to protect these two strangers when she had a chance to escape?”

Meng Chao knew that Lu Siya was full of ambition and decisiveness. She rarely got emotional.

But that did not mean she would sacrifice the interests of ordinary people to realize her ambitions.

In fact, a smart person like Lu Siya would usually find a way to tie her ambitions to the interests of most ordinary people.

However, the Lu Siya Meng Chao knew would realize that it was futile even if she paid the price of being seriously injured and losing her combat ability to temporarily protect these two ordinary individuals.

Once her enemies severely injured and captured her, the lowly mother and daughter would still be fish on a chopping board. They would be killed by the other party at any moment.

Therefore, the Lu Siya Meng Chao knew would definitely not hesitate at all. She would rush out as quickly as possible, gather her own people, capture all the Ghost a.s.sa.s.sins, and follow the clues to discover the mastermind of the entire scheme. If the mother and daughter were killed, she would comfort their souls in heaven by preventing more innocent people from being killed by the mastermind behind the scenes.

That was Lu Siya’s style.

Besides, the “Lu Siya” in front of Meng Chao was not the smart, calm, ruthless, and ambitious woman that he knew. She was not even a human being, but a wild banshee. She was a monster in human skin!

To a certain extent, she had become the new “monster mastermind.”

In her eyes, humans were somewhere between food and slaves.

Why would she risk her life to save unknown “food and slaves”?

One should know that from the wild banshee’s perspective, she should even deliberately avoid them and allow the Ghost a.s.sa.s.sins to kill the lowly mother and daughter. That way, the Ghost a.s.sa.s.sins’ hands would be stained with the blood of the innocent. Then, she would have an extra chip in the subsequent games!

“Could it be that…”

Meng Chao suddenly thought, ‘Lu Siya isn’t controlled by the monster’s power. At least, she’s not completely controlled. She still has a part of her free will and isn’t 100% a wild banshee?’

Just as the thought occurred to him, a crack appeared at the core of his brain.

The crack instantly expanded, causing his chaotic thoughts to burst forth like a flood.

Ai Lei had helped him collect all kinds of information about Lu Siya, and he also possessed all the information he had learned about her himself.

He had personally witnessed Lu Siya’s actions over the past few days.

He had also seen the scene of him and Lu Siya fighting fiercely on the summit of Mist Mountain, which had gradually blurred over the past year.

Lu Siya’s eyes had been extremely complicated and indescribable the moment she fell into the Raging Tiger River.

The various information rushed into Meng Chao’s mind like a turbulent current.
