The King of Urban Mercenaries-Chapter 825 - 827: A Way Out, Paid With a Life
A personβs death can be classified into many types. ππ£π²ππ¨π²ππ»πΌπ―π²π.π°ππ¦
Generally, it can be attributed to four categories.
The first category is natural death, such as dying from illness or old age.
The second category is pure accidental death, like a car accident or natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis.
The third category is self-inflicted death, like being sentenced to death for committing crimes, or dying from deliberately seeking certain thrills.
The fourth category is being harmed by others, such as Xu Lengxuan at this moment!
Although, as one of the two leaders of Fish Lion, Xu Lengxuan lives a life where he licks blood off the bladeβs edge. He might just die any day.
Regarding this, Xu Lengxuan was mentally prepared since the first day he became a mercenary.
However, dying in a manner like today, being dragged into this by Yang Zhengyu and thus confronting Yang Chenlong, one of the twelve Main Gods of the Hellβs Judgement Organization.
Clearly, itβs not within Xu Lengxuanβs acceptable range.
Usually, youβd want to avoid such a calamity at all costs. Yet today, due to Yang Zhengyu, Xu Lengxuan has run headfirst into it.
The grievance feeling in Xu Lengxuanβs heart can well be imagined!
If he cannot personally see Yang Zhengyu die before him, Xu Lengxuan would definitely die with a heart full of unwillingness!
And Xu Lengxuanβs unwillingness, along with the almost tangible killing intent that evolved from extreme anger in his eyes, evidently did not stir even a shred of guilt in Yang Zhengyuβs heart.
On the contrary, it indirectly provoked a sense of madness within Yang Zhengyu!
"You want me dead, you took my money and donβt think of ways to protect me. Instead, you want me dead?! Iβll kill you, you bastard!"
Influenced by Xu Lengxuanβs words, nearly driven into a frenzied state, Yang Zhengyu yelled as he madly lunged forward, intent on assailing Xu Lengxuan who was kneeling in front of Yang Chenlong!
Bang!
Yang Chenlong obviously had no intention of letting the farce continue. As Yang Zhengyu attempted to attack Xu Lengxuan, Yang Chenlong, who had been silent until now, suddenly kicked, sending Yang Zhengyu flying.
Snap!
Yang Zhengyu, who fell to the ground, landed as if a wild goose falling from the heights, forming a seamless fit with the ground.
He was completely dazed from the fall!
Yang Chenlong, being one of the twelve Main Gods of the Hellβs Judgement Organization, his anger-infused kick showed formidable power.
If it werenβt for Yang Zhengyu wearing three layers of bullet-proof vests for tonightβs conflict, and mainly because Yang Chenlong didnβt intend for him to die so easily.
At this moment, Yang Zhengyu was definitely in a more complicated state than just simply passing out.
Putting aside Yang Zhengyuβs insane, beastly acts to murder him and Old Master Yang tonight, previously Yang Zhengyu had admitted in person to orchestrating an accident that harmed Yang Chenlongβs father.
That alone was more than enough for Yang Chenlong to go all out and tear him apart!
The reason Yang Chenlong hadnβt immediately killed Yang Zhengyu was no more than concern for Old Master Yangβs feelings and avoiding more negative impacts on Mu Shanshan and Xia Yutong.
The person definitely needs to be killed!
Itβs just that the timing and location are not right, and there are other matters to resolve.
After knocking Yang Zhengyu out with a kick, Yang Chenlong naturally turned his gaze, tiger-like, upon Xu Lengxuan who was kneeling before him.
After focusing his gaze on Xu Lengxuan for more than ten seconds, Yang Chenlong then lifted his head to scan around at the Fish Lion members kneeling within the villa.
Following that, Yang Chenlongβs tiger-like eyes, carrying a hint of inquiry, fell onto Lin Fei.
"Itβs your family affair, handle it yourself."
Upon perceiving the inquiry within Yang Chenlongβs gaze, Lin Fei calmly voiced his indication for Yang Chenlong to make his own decisions.
Receiving Lin Feiβs indication, Yang Chenlong hesitated briefly, subsequently fixing his gaze on Old Master Yang, who had remained silent since Korda and Xu Lengxuan recognized him.
Under Yang Chenlongβs scrutinous gaze, Old Master Yang held his silence for more than ten seconds before looking back at Yang Chenlong with a semblance of either a melancholy or relief, saying: "I am old, the affairs of the family should be handled by you from now on."
With those words, Old Master Yang did not allow Yang Chenlong any chance to refuse. Turning around, he walked over to Lin Fei and Mu Shanshan.
Old Master Yangβs somewhat aged face showed traces of warm smiles, as he addressed Lin Fei and Mu Shanshan: "Leave the rest to Long Er. Mr. Lin and President Mu, having journeyed from afar, are honored guests of our Yang Family. It is only proper for me to personally entertain you. If you donβt mind, please follow me. After I have properly entertained you, we can also discuss the cooperation between our two families."
With those words and upon seeing Lin Fei and Mu Shanshanβs lack of objection, Old Master Yang nodded to them, also beckoning Xia Yutong, saying: "Little girl from the Xia Family, come along too, itβs rare for you to have come for my birthday celebration. Itβs only reasonable for our Yang Family to entertain you well."
Thus, at the Old Master Yangβs indication, Mu Shanshan and Xia Yutong, not willing to stay in the villa any longer, each took hold of Lin Feiβs arm without any hesitation and followed Old Master Yang to another villa.
...
"You are smart, and know when to advance or retreat."
After Lin Fei and Old Master Yang among others left the villa, Yang Chenlong, gazing at Xu Lengxuan who was kneeling before him, muttered as if speaking to himself or perhaps evaluating.
Then, not giving Xu Lengxuan much room for surprise or thoughts, Yang Chenlong spoke again, saying, "You wish to die by your own hand, which makes it awkward for me to truly kill you. Let it be so, I will give you a way to live."
Bang!
With Yang Chenlongβs words, Xu Lengxuan, who was originally so tense that sweat dripped from his brow, even shivering uncontrollably, found a glimmer of joy in his eyes, and without hesitation, kowtowed heavily once more to Yang Chenlong.
"Donβt rush to thank me yet, the way to live I offer you isnβt as simple as you think. Your good partner Korda ran away, you go help me finish him off. You kill him, and Iβll spare your life."
Yang Chenlongβs tone might not have been sharp, but the content of his words sent a penetrating chill through Xu Lengxuanβs heart!
The initial joy in his eyes, upon Yang Chenlongβs words, was again filled with a sense of dorian despair.
Being one of the two leaders of Fish Lion, Xu Lengxuan was certainly no fool. Although he reacted slower than Korda, truthfully, his seeking death tactically was wiser than fleeing indiscriminately like Korda.
Korda ran, no matter what Yang Chenlong wonβt let him off.
Whereas Xu Lengxuanβs attempt to seek death, unexpectedly procured a chance for life, just like now with Yang Chenlong offering him a path.
However, how difficult this path is, only Xu Lengxuan knows...
