Abyss Sequence

Chapter 23: War Breaks Out


Li Xinyue looked at Li Siyuan, full of disappointment.

"Second Uncle..."

Li Xinyue's voice trembled, tears shimmering in her eyes, "Once, I really treated you as a father. No matter how much you were acting, you really brought me the warmth of a father. You attended every parent meeting, no matter how busy you were, you made time to play with me. My cousins were jealous of me for it... I never thought you would do such a thing!

"Grandfather clearly stated in his will that he was in good health. Unless it was an accident, it was impossible for him to pass away so soon. Even if he were to leave, he would call me during his last moments. If he did not die accidentally and there was no autopsy, then the one who killed him must be you!"

By the time she finished speaking, Li Xinyue had clenched her fists, gritting her teeth, shouting loudly, "Only you, Li Siyuan—among everyone in the Li Family. Only you have the guts! The others are just a bunch of ineffectual threats, they might think of harming Grandpa but don't have the courage to act!

"And Grandpa also said in his will that you've recently been in contact with the Abyssal Believers. He warned you, but if he still died, that means you've already allied with the Abyssal Believers! Li Siyuan, you scum! Trash! You want the inheritance rights to Bao Han Company, right? I will never give it to you!"

After speaking, Li Xinyue took a step forward, heading towards the second floor.

Her grandfather's room had a safe, whose combination only she knew. If forced open, everything inside it would be destroyed.

Inside were the documents concerning Bao Han Company's inheritance rights. If those were destroyed, they could only reprint them at the municipal notarization office.

Now Li Xinyue was going to retrieve those documents. If Li Siyuan had destroyed the safe in advance, it would be better, allowing her to reprint them at the notary's office.

No matter what, the inheritance rights of Bao Han Company would be hers.

Unless Li Siyuan decided to kill her!

Yan Luo suddenly stepped up from behind Li Xinyue, grabbing her shoulder, pulling her away.

BANG!

The next second, a gunshot rang out, shattering a window in the distance.

If Yan Luo hadn't taken Li Xinyue away, that bullet would have struck her head.

The man standing behind Li Siyuan, holding a gun, was shocked. He had immense confidence in his marksmanship, but he hadn't expected anyone to detect his presence before he fired and save Li Xinyue from being shot.

Li Xinyue immediately reacted, glaring at Li Siyuan with fury.

"Li! Si! Yuan!"

Li Siyuan's face changed, shouting, "Take action! Everyone, take action!"

Besides Li Xinyue's uncles and aunts, there were quite a few others standing in the villa hall.

They were wearing uniformed suits, appearing like Li Siyuan's entourage.

The moment Li Siyuan shouted, those people pulled out their concealed cold weapons and handguns, charging at Li Xinyue.

At the same time, the glow of engravings bloomed behind them.

Even with the Li Family's influence, they could only possess handguns within the city.

Seeing this, Yan Luo used a nail to cut open the muscle on the outside of his left thigh, drawing out a blood-soaked folding sword, handing it to Li Xinyue.

When everyone saw Yan Luo's move, they were stunned.

Li Xinyue expressionlessly took the folding sword, pressed a button, extending its blade fully, as three engravings bloomed behind her.

A light breeze lifted Li Xinyue's hair and clothes, and the next moment, she launched forward like a bolt of lightning.

Like a willow leaf floating in the wind, Li Xinyue moved with a natural ease, thrusting the folding sword as if the enemy had impaled themselves on its tip, their throat instantly slashed open.

The folding sword traced a semicircle in the air, silently slicing toward another enemy's arm, severing the wrist directly.

Li Xinyue seemed to dance a grand performance, her body spinning like the wind, her steps graceful and enchanting, moving freely among the crowd. Only when her enemies were enveloped in the sheen of blades and shadows did they perceive the cold murder hidden beneath her graceful moves.

After Li Xinyue killed the third enemy, Yan Luo's injuries began to heal, his foot stomping the ground, causing the entire hall to tremble.

Subsequently, Yan Luo's figure darted forward, throwing a powerful punch.

One Engraver of the Sequence Four, relying on the title [Vajra], stood in front of Li Xinyue to buy time for his comrades, only to have a fist magnify rapidly before his eyes.

The Engraver didn't have time to react as his entire head was crushed by Yan Luo's punch, with white and red matter flying everywhere.

Meanwhile, the Gun Master standing afar finally enchanted his bullet, raising his handgun to aim at Li Xinyue, pulling the trigger.

Yet the next second, Yan Luo stood before Li Xinyue with the headless corpse.

The enchanted bullet pierced through the headless corpse's chest and then struck Yan Luo, gouging a large cavity in his right chest.

Yan Luo took a deep breath, his chest muscles writhing, ejecting the embedded bullet from his body, the flesh at the wound rapidly knitting together, healing at an astonishing speed.

—Knowing a fight was inevitable upon entering the Li Family Manor, Yan Luo had filled his body with magic power by consuming grilled meat stored in the Space Box before reaching Celestial Sea City.

"Yan Luo! It's Yan Luo!"

No engravings appeared behind him, yet his physical strength alone crushed the Engravers.

Undeniably, this was Yan Luo!

Li Siyuan's body trembled, immediately attempting to contact the authorities of Celestial Sea City, only to find the signal had been cut off.

Yan Luo and Li Xinyue had Sasa wait outside not just to keep her away from the battle, but also to receive support from her!

Sasa contacted the hacker 'Voltage', asking for help in cutting off Li Family Manor's external signal. Now, it could only receive external information but couldn't send any out.

Yan Luo was about to strike the foe standing in front of him when the ceiling was suddenly pierced, and an Engraver wearing an exoskeleton descended from above.

This Engraver differed from the others; five engravings bloomed behind him.

[Warrior] Sequence Three, [Heavenly Immortal]!

This Engraver not only wore an exoskeleton but also held an active Chain-saw Sword.

"The one who will kill you today, Yu Zheng!"

Yu Zheng roared, swinging the Chain-saw Sword toward Yan Luo's neck.

Yan Luo stomped his foot, swiftly retreating while grasping the heads of two Engravers beside him, crushing them with his fingers.

After Yu Zheng appeared, the Engravers under the Li Family's control quickly distanced themselves.

The Sequence Three level battle was not something their weak selves could interfere with. Let alone, if the sweeping Chain-saw Sword so much as grazed them, severe injury would be unavoidable.

The horizontal sweep of the Chain-saw Sword missed, and the exoskeleton's thrusters blasted flames, propelling Yu Zheng's body forward.

It was as if the air was torn as a shockwave swept around.

Even though Yan Luo had withdrawn over ten meters in one step, to Yu Zheng, that distance was covered in less than half a second.

Yu Zheng lifted the Chain-saw Sword, aiming to slash vertically down at Yan Luo.

Seeing the danger, Yan Luo leaped aside. Yu Zheng immediately transformed the vertical slash into a horizontal swipe, thrusting the Chain-saw Sword like a hammer towards Yan Luo.

"Yan Luo!"

Li Xinyue hooked her toe under a dead man's weapon, kicking it toward Yan Luo.

Without looking, Yan Luo caught the weapon in reverse, and instead of attacking Yu Zheng, his first move was to fiercely swing it, slicing an incoming enchanted bullet.

Using the momentum, Yan Luo twisted his body forcefully, hefting the blade to strike.

The sword sliced through a 274-degree arc, slamming fiercely into the Chain-saw Sword.

The straight sword indeed broke, but the Chain-saw Sword was deflected.

Without hesitation, Yan Luo threw a punch, striking Yu Zheng's chest.

Even with the exoskeleton's protection and his own engraved enhancements, Yu Zheng's body was still propelled backward, crashing through the air, smashing through a wall.

Li Siyuan and others had long retreated, watching the power Yan Luo unleashed with fear.

This truly is... supernatural power!

Yan Luo casually tossed the broken blade, piercing the head of the Gun Master standing afar, his body lifted off the ground, dangling from the wall.

Boom!

Yu Zheng threw off the rubble covering him, charging towards Yan Luo once more.

What he hadn't expected was that Yan Luo also charged at him!
