When it came to close combat, Reaper wasn't ordinary either. He reacted timely by bringing the almost broken Nano Shield forward and successfully blocked Yun Lintian's powerful kick.
At the same time, Reaper fired at Xia Yao in the distance, trying to interrupt her consecutive attack before retreating along with the impact from Yun Lintian's kick.
However, Yun Lintian seemed to turn into a god of speed at this moment. He didn't want to let Reaper, the culprit that took Xiao Kai's life, slip away. His entire body turned into a shadowy figure and arrived before Reaper in a flash.
Reaper's face changed drastically. He didn't understand how Yun Lintian did it. Was he really a human?
Without thinking further, Reaper threw the broken Nano Shield at Yun Lintian and used this chance to distance himself from him.
Yun Lintian slapped the Nano Shield away and caught up with Reaper, who took a combat knife out.
Reaper's eyes flashed with killing intent as he skillfully slashed at Yun Lintian's shoulder.
Puff!
The knife easily sunk into Yun Lintian's shoulder, leaving a deep wound on it. However, this didn't make Reaper happy in the slightest. His eyes were widened open in shock because he could see an unshakable determination in Yun Lintian's eyes. Yun Lintian had wholly disregarded his own life in order to catch him.
Reaper hurriedly pulled the knife back and was about to stab Yun Lintian. He suddenly found out he could not move his arm as it was tightly held by Yun Lintian.
"This is for Ah'Kai!" Yun Lintian yelled angrily and ruthlessly punched Reaper's face.
He didn't let Reaper slip out of his grasp by pulling him back and punching at his face again.
Bang!
Reaper's nose was immediately deformed. Blood spurted out from his nostrils, making him look so miserable.
Yun Lintian did not stop at that. He continued to punch at Reaper's face with no intention of stopping. No matter how Reaper tried to block it, it was useless in the end.
"Argh!" Reaper screamed painfully. His mind was in a mess, trying to get out of this predicament, but Yun Lintian didn't give him a chance at all.
Yun Lintian's eyes were bloodshot. Every punch of his seemed to fill with incomparable hatred. The more he thought of Xiao Kai, the fiercer his fist became. He didn't even notice that there was a golden glow on the silver necklace around his neck at this moment.
Xia Yao stood silently, watching Yun Lintian venting his anger and grief. She understood his feeling more than anyone else. Yun Lintian might look like he was strong on the outside, but in fact, he carried a lot of burdens in his heart.
As someone who grew up in a single-parent family, Yun Lintian had always lacked a family's love. Even though the relationship between him and his father was good, it could not fill the gap of a motherly love that he longed for. He could only silently bury it inside.
Later, when he started the Cloud Shadow team, Yun Lintian began to have a sense of a family's love. He believed this was his true family. He would always take everything by himself, blocking the rain and wind for everyone on the team. It could be seen how much he cared for them. And now Xiao Kai was no longer here. It wasn't difficult to guess how much pain he felt in his heart.
Reaper gradually became weaker as time passed. He struggled hard to get rid of Yun Lintian, but all of his efforts were in vain.
Yun Lintian panted heavily. He looked extremely exhausted, but his fist didn't seem to stop at any time soon.
Xia Yao couldn't bear to see Yun Lintian in this frenzied state further. She stepped forward and held his arm as she said softly. "It's okay now."
Yun Lintian's arm shook slightly and did not move further. He stared at the deformed Reaper's face and said coldly. "I won't allow you to die. Do you hear me?"
"Cough!… Haha…" Reaper coughed up fresh blood and gave a mocking smile at Yun Lintian. "I have underestimated you again… But it's fine… Hehe… Why don't you contact your little brothers now?"
Yun Lintian's complexion changed drastically. He believed Reaper wasn't trying to mess with his mind at this moment.
Without thinking further, Yun Lintian quickly contacted Lei Hao and Tu Feng. "Ah'Hao, Ah'Feng. Do you hear me?" Sadly, there was no response coming from the other side.
Yun Lintian grabbed Reaper's neck and yelled. "What did you do to them?"
Reaper didn't seem to feel pain at all. On the contrary, he was enjoyed seeing Yun Lintian angry. "Do you know what your weakness is aside from caring for your people too much?"
"F*ck you!" Yun Lintian ruthlessly punched Reaper.
Reaper coughed a few times before continuing with a mocking smile. "Cough!… It's your confidence. You are too confident in your ability… I admit that you do have the ability to go against the sky. But it also allows people to turn this point against you."
"What the f*ck you want to say!?" Yun Lintian roared madly.
"Haha… Because you are too confident, you don't bother to care about the enemy. You never know how many enemies you have." Reaper said.
Xia Yao seemed to think of something and hurriedly said. "You mean there are others here aside from you?"
Reaper glanced at Xia Yao and said. "What do you think?"
Xia Yao took a deep breath and said to Yun Lintian. "Let's go. We need to find them now."
Yun Lintian immediately sobered up. He glared at Reaper and said coldly. "It's too cheap for you to die too fast." Following that, Yun Lintian grabbed Reaper's knife and stabbed it deep into the latter's thighs and chest.
Reaper's blood immediately gushed out like a fountain, splashing all over Yun Lintian's clothes. His breath began to weaken, and his vision started to blur.
"Enjoy your last moment." Yun Lintian threw Reaper away and turned around, rushing toward Lei Hao and Tu Feng's direction.
As Yun Lintian moved away, Xia Yao glanced at the dying Reaper and swiftly threw a knife to cut his throat, ending his life. She didn't want to leave any potential danger behind.
After confirming Reaper was truly dead, Xia Yao turned around and hurriedly followed Yun Lintian….
