Chapter 982: Chapter 976: Crisis Descends

”Heh heh, discovered it? What a pity, today you’re destined to die. Don’t blame me; blame yourself for bringing along someone you shouldn’t have. Originally, our target was just Shen Qiaoqiao. Since you’ve brought yourself to me, let’s go down to the etherworld with Shen Qiaoqiao, at least you’ll have company.”

This boatman cast a sinister glance over Lu Tianxing. Just as he finished speaking, he leapt forward, intending to jump into the river.

But would Lu Tianxing let him go?

Just as he was about to plunge into the water, Lu Tianxing stepped forward, punching the water’s surface directly.

”Boom!”

The water splashed everywhere like a bomb had exploded, sending countless water droplets flying. The force of his palm struck directly into the water’s depths.

When the water settled, the surface turned red with blood. The boatman’s corpse, who had just dived into the water, floated up along with the mud stirred up from the riverbed. His chest was sunken in, clearly killed by Lu Tianxing’s strike.

All of this happened in a flash, leaving Qiaoqiao completely petrified on the spot. It took her quite some time to regain her senses, a pale shade appearing on her pretty face: ”Uncle, you killed someone, you killed someone.”

Qiaoqiao looked up at Lu Tianxing, her face filled with fear, looking at him like a stranger, her eyes full of terror.

Seeing Qiaoqiao’s fearful expression, Lu Tianxing felt a bitter smile flash through his heart. He knew that perhaps his fate with Qiaoqiao was at an end. How could a girl who had lived in an ivory tower and never experienced darkness wish to be with an executioner with bloodstained hands?

”Qiaoqiao...”

”Ah!”

Hearing Lu Tianxing’s voice, Qiaoqiao reflexively screamed, subconsciously pulling back. Then, as if remembering something, she hurriedly approached and grabbed Lu Tianxing, saying, ”Uncle, you killed someone. Why are you standing here stupefied? You need to run, as far as you can, so you won’t be caught. No, this is Beijing, Uncle, you can’t escape. Uncle, let’s go back, let’s quickly find my mom and have her help you secretly leave Beijing. Uncle, let’s hurry and go...”

As she spoke, Qiaoqiao released Lu Tianxing’s arm, picked up the pole that the boatman had thrown on the boat, and began to row desperately. However, with too little strength, she was unable to move the boat.

Seeing Qiaoqiao’s actions and anxious expression, Lu Tianxing was slightly taken aback: ”Qiaoqiao, aren’t you afraid?”

Qiaoqiao stopped her movements, looked at Lu Tianxing firmly and said, ”I’m afraid, but I know, Uncle, you were saving me. And I believe Uncle would never harm me because I trust Uncle, you are my guardian angel, you will protect me, not harm me.”

Hearing these words, a warmth surged in Lu Tianxing’s heart. Just as he was about to speak, the leopard cat that had been lying in wait on the shore suddenly leaped forward like a flash of lightning, while a strong sense of danger exploded in Lu Tianxing’s mind.

”Oh no!”

Lu Tianxing’s expression changed. Without wasting time on words, he pulled Qiaoqiao into his embrace. With a tap of his toes, he retreated like a flash of lightning.

”Boom!”

At the moment Lu Tianxing and Qiaoqiao retreated, the leopard cat landed on the small boat. Immediately after, a burst of flames shot into the sky, engulfing the entire small boat. The splashes of water hit Lu Tianxing’s True Qi Shield, roaring loudly.

Looking at the small boat engulfed in flames, Qiaoqiao clutched Lu Tianxing’s arm tightly, her pretty face turned ghostly pale without a trace of color, obviously frightened to the extreme.

Feeling Qiaoqiao trembling in his arms, Lu Tianxing sighed. After all, Qiaoqiao was just a young girl; facing such a scene and saying she wasn’t afraid would be deceitful.

Meanwhile, in another direction, a middle-aged foreign man observing the scene through binoculars was also slightly startled. He had never imagined that the foolproof assassination would fail, especially when the target was just a little girl.

”Do you know who that man beside Shen Qiaoqiao is?” The middle-aged man lowered the binoculars and said gravely.

”No,” the young man standing beside the middle-aged man shook his head, ”During this time, although Lu Tianxing is renowned in Beijing, it’s only among the major families. To regular folks, Lu Tianxing is just an ordinary person. After all, what Lu Tianxing has done in Beijing isn’t something for ordinary people to know.”

”Forget it. No matter what, this time we must kill Shen Qiaoqiao, ensuring we don’t fail like last time.”

The middle-aged man snorted coldly, ”Notify Haruk to act immediately.”

”Yes.”

The young man nodded, took a whistle from his pocket, and gently blew it.

At that moment, Lu Tianxing was still unaware that someone was preparing to take action against them again.

”Uncle, are there people intending to kill me again?” Qiaoqiao, nestled in Lu Tianxing’s arms, asked with a frightened expression.

”It’s okay. Don’t you trust Uncle’s abilities? These guys can’t do anything to me. If you’re scared, just close your eyes.”

Lu Tianxing, landing in the nearby woods, smiled as he gently patted Qiaoqiao’s head. However, his eyes had turned as cold as ice, carrying a chilling aura.

”Mm!”

Qiaoqiao nodded heavily, ”I believe Uncle will protect me.”

Just then, an eerie sound of a flute emerged from the previously silent woods, echoing in the air.

”Hiss~” ”Hiss~”

The next moment, countless hissing sounds resonated eerily through the quiet forest.

”Indian Snake Dance.”

Upon hearing this tune, Lu Tianxing’s face drastically changed.

The Indian Snake Dance was a unique melody of India, unlike the ones performed on the streets there. It was a true melody for controlling venomous snakes, making them dance and attack enemies.

As Lu Tianxing’s words fell, rustling sounds emerged from the bushes, as if something was moving within.

Soon after, Lu Tianxing’s pupils shrank at the sight of countless venomous snakes appearing on the ground and branches ahead—cobras, green bamboo vipers, black mamba, Emperor Cobras... multicolored and excessively venomous, numbering over a hundred. Each snake constantly flicked its tongue, giving off a chilling feeling.

”Snakes, so many snakes. Uncle, what should we do? Do you think we’ll die here? I haven’t even dated yet! I’m still a vir—I’ve never even had a boyfriend. I don’t want to die so horribly...”

Qiaoqiao’s voice carried a crying tone, curling up on Lu Tianxing like a little doll, wrapping her legs tightly around his waist and arms around his neck, with her head nestled into his chest, trembling slightly.

Lu Tianxing held Qiaoqiao, saying nothing. It’s natural to be scared; anyone seeing a floor covered with innumerable venomous snakes would be terrified out of their wits.

”Little girl, don’t talk nonsense, you’re not going to die here. Don’t worry, Uncle will get you out alive.”

Lu Tianxing gently patted Qiaoqiao’s back, his expression unchanged.
