Chapter 138: Chapter 41 Have You Prepared a Grave for Yourself
Lin Qingze was having dinner.
His communicator vibrated, and he frowned.
As the acting dean of Noah Academy, there really were too many things to deal with on a daily basis.
Some trivial matters were rather annoying.
After glancing at the communicator, Lin Qingze’s expression changed in an instant.
It was Xu Mo!
Then it was nothing serious.
He opened the communicator; it was a voice message.
“Someone wants to kill me. Can I defend myself?”
Xu Mo’s voice came through, along with location sharing.
Lin Qingze’s heart skipped a beat, and his eyes narrowed suddenly.
Xu Mo was studying at the academy, and no one knew about his super S talent. Who would want to kill him?
But now was not the time to think about that.
“You may use any means necessary. If necessary, invoke the academy’s name, say you are my student, protect yourself, and wait for support,” Lin Qingze replied.
He took a closer look at the location and dialed a number.
“Good evening, Dean Lin,” the chubby Sun on the communicator greeted, feeling a bit nervous.
This guy couldn’t be planning to extort him again, could he?
He had no money.
“Chubby Sun, get on your flying device right now and help me rescue someone, immediately,” Lin Qingze said with a serious expression.
“Okay.”
Seeing Lin Qingze’s serious face, Chubby Sun realized the severity of the situation.
Moreover, it was a rescue.
Who the hell was so bold to mess with someone under the care of the acting dean of the Extraordinary Academy?
“I’ll keep you updated on the location,” Lin Qingze said.
Although Chubby Sun was hefty, he moved swiftly, rushing toward the location where his flying device was parked like a gust of wind.
“Who are we rescuing?” Chubby Sun asked.
He couldn’t get there without knowing who to save, could he?
“Xu Mo, a young Desert Hunter. You’ve met him; he’s one of the group Xiao Xiao hired for the expedition in the ruins,” Lin Qingze said.
“Huh?” Chubby Sun’s mind whirred.
Rescuing a Desert Hunter? Those few that Xiao Xiao knew.
He had quite a memorable impression of one particularly thick-skinned kid.
“Fuck!!!”
Chubby Sun’s eyes bulged with realization that the youth was right beside him all along.
It was that S!
How could he not realize it immediately with Lin Qingze taking this so seriously? Of course, it had to be that rumored S, not just any newcomer but one of those young Desert Hunters.
“Got it.” Chubby Sun dashed onto the flying device.
The flying device shot out energy light and soared into the sky.
This was a rescue for his future son-in-law!
Lin Qingze put down the communicator. Chubby Sun wasn’t far away, and he should arrive quickly with the flying device.
And Lin Qingze was, of course, confident in Chubby Sun’s efficiency.
He dialed another number and began, “Check a location for me.”
Xu Mo hadn’t told him that he was at Lin Xi’s place. With just a location, Lin Qingze couldn’t be sure exactly where it was and had to get someone to check.
Unaware of Xu Mo’s current situation, Lin Qingze dared not disturb him, worried that it might distract him.
Seemingly still concerned, he dialed another number, hoping it wouldn’t be too late.
……
At the Lin Family’s residence.
Xu Mo saw the message from Lin Qingze.
Could he really use any means necessary?
With that assurance, he felt at ease.
It seemed that with the Extraordinary Academy’s influence, dealing with the likes of the Lin Family would be no problem whatsoever.
Take Ming Hui from the Ming Group, for example; he gave a billion, yet his status at the Extraordinary Academy was just so-so. Lin Qingze didn’t seem too willing to entertain him.
Lin Yuan frowned as he stared at Xu Mo.
Who was he informing?
“I am a student of Noah Academy. I advise you not to make a move,” Xu Mo said, looking at Lin Yuan.
Although Lin Yuan disregarded father-daughter ties, blood relations mattered, and Lin Xi couldn’t escape them. If they went too far, it would be difficult to resolve the situation.
The best outcome would be if he could leave directly.
Upon hearing Xu Mo’s words, Lin Yuan knew that the other party was telling the truth.
Xu Mo’s strength was certainly enough for him to study at the Extraordinary Academy.
But now, he was in a predicament.
If Lin Xi left, he would be finished.
He had no choice.
“Stay behind,” Lin Yuan demanded, holding a Source Power Sword as he rushed towards Xu Mo.
Xu Mo raised his War Saber and charged forward as well.
Above the Source Power Battle Blade, it seemed as if lightning glowed, and a terrifying Source Power Field converged on the blade.
The two charged towards each other and, in the cramped space, their blades collided, with Lin Yuan once again being repelled.
Xu Mo’s saber did not stop, slashing out like the wind.
Lin Yuan kept blocking, finding Xu Mo’s Sword Technique extremely fast and unorthodox, but each stroke targeted his weaknesses as if he could see through them.
“Hiss…”
A gleam from the saber flew past, and a slash appeared on Lin Yuan’s arm, his sword sent flying.
This was still Xu Mo showing restraint.
He certainly couldn’t kill Lin Xi’s father.
Lin Xi realized it only when she saw Xu Mo’s saber.
It turned out that Xu Mo had been holding back all along when practicing saber with her.
“Sister Xi, let’s go.” Xu Mo pulled Lin Xi towards the exit, with Ye Qingdie and three others following behind, her hands gripping a heavy spear.
“Bang…” Someone shot directly, and the bullet flew towards Xu Mo.
The moment the other side fired, Xu Mo’s body surged forward as if the bullet had slowed down. His War Saber cleaved through the air, the Energy Battle Blade deflecting the bullet, and then slashing into the shooter’s head.
Blood flowed down the forehead, and that person fell down instantly.
The others picked up their weapons, only to see Ye Qingdie and Xiao Qi firing simultaneously.
“Boom…” The Heavy Spear killed one person outright, and Xiao Qi’s arm transformed into a mechanical limb, from which Energy Light was sprayed out, blue Lightning penetrating the bodies of several people.
Xu Mo walked towards the outside.
The genetically modified humans at the door rushed in, many of them from the Ming Group, exuding a fierce aura as they charged at Xu Mo and his group.
Ye Qingdie and Xiao Qi kept firing, but some of the genetically modified humans seemed impossible to kill.
Xu Mo and Ying charged ahead.
A genetically modified human’s arms turned into sharp claws, lunging at Xu Mo, only to be met with a sweeping strike from the War Saber, instantly slitting his throat.
The War Saber swept through continuously, and in a blink, more corpses lay on the ground, most of them slain by Xu Mo.
Lin Xi watched Xu Mo’s retreating figure and suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
Deceit Street!
It was Xu Mo.
She had been wondering who would come to her rescue.
She even thought that it might be her father’s men.
But now she knew it was Xu Mo.
He had saved her last time.
And now, he had come again.
Lin Xi suddenly felt like she knew nothing about Xu Mo.
Xu Mo had always been protecting her.
Betrayed by her closest kin, they disregarded her life or death.
But Xu Mo, whom she had met only recently, kept saving her time after time.
Thinking of this, Lin Xi didn’t know what to feel.
“Give me a sword.” Lin Xi spoke, her eyes reddened.
“Sister Xi.” Elsa handed a Source Power Sword to Lin Xi from her bag, and then she too charged forward.
The group fought their way to outside of the Lin Family residence.
A convoy of vehicles approached, and many got out, all wielding weapons.
“Bang, bang, bang…” Without waiting for the enemy to act, Ye Qingdie and the others opened fire, bodies exploded, and lives were taken instantly.
A figure with sunglasses stepped out from the back; his gun had a thick barrel that emitted dazzling blue Energy Light as if charging up.
“Careful, a B-level weapon.”
Lin Xi cautioned.
Xu Mo’s spiritual power reached out towards the enemy’s gun; the charge finished, and a terrifying blue light burst forth. Xu Mo’s spiritual power was released to the max, but it still couldn’t stop the explosion of energy.
The energy level of a B-level weapon exceeded his load capacity, but still, it slowed down the Energy Light’s advance.
He stepped forward, his War Saber cleaving directly into the oncoming Energy Light.
“Boom.” The War Saber struck the Energy Light, causing an explosion. Xu Mo almost lost grip of his saber, and his body was pushed back a few steps.
The enemy charged up again, but this time, Xu Mo’s War Saber roared as it flew straight out, speeding towards the target.
The color drained from the man’s face as he saw the Saber accelerate.
He tried to dodge, but the War Saber, as if guided, pierced right through his head, causing his body to collapse backward, his Energy Gun firing blue Energy Light into the air where it exploded.
“Drive the car, Sister Xi.” Xu Mo said as more genetically modified humans charged forward. Ye Qingdie fired continuously, blasting them away.
Lin Xi had already started the vehicle, and everyone began to pile in.
“Get in.” Lin Xi opened the passenger side door, and Xu Mo rushed in, the vehicle immediately started to leave.
“Smash.” The rear glass shattered, Elsa and the others ducked down, and Ye Qingdie took up a gun to fire at those following, killing them.
“Boom, boom…” One car after another started up, chasing after Xu Mo and his group.
In the last luxury commercial vehicle, Ming Hui sat quietly watching all this.
He didn’t get out of the car to act personally.
After all, as a student of Noah Academy, he didn’t want to get his hands bloody.
But then, even if a student of Noah Academy killed someone in Steel Dome City, would Noah Academy really not step in?
He picked up his Communicator and dialed a number. The voice on the other end said, “Why does Young Master Ming have time to call me today?”
“Vice Director Yan…” Ming Hui spoke as his vehicle also started to chase ahead.
Once Xu Mo was in prison, he would surely be expelled from Noah Academy.
Killing him in prison would be much simpler.
These Desert Hunters, they were truly desperate outlaws, so ruthless in their ways.
Ming Hui also felt a hint of suspicion, sensing that something was a bit off.
But without dwelling on what exactly felt wrong, he noted that the Desert Hunters seemed a bit too strong.
Inside the Lin Family Mansion, Lin Yuan and Lin Jian looked at the trail of bodies with extremely ugly expressions.
“It’s him, it’s him…” Lin Jian trembled slightly.
She too felt that the person who saved her sister that day was Xu Mo.
No wonder he didn’t care about her life or death.
But how could he be so powerful?
Wasn’t he a lowly Desert Hunter?
Lin Yuan also had an ominous premonition.
At that moment, his Communicator vibrated.
Lin Yuan glanced at it; it was an unknown number, but he still answered.
“Who’s this?” Lin Yuan asked.
“I am Lin Qingze, Executive Dean of Noah Academy. Lin Yuan, I don’t care what’s happened over there, if anything happens to Xu Mo, you better prepare a grave for yourself.” A voice came through and then the line went dead.
Lin Yuan put down the Communicator, his body trembling slightly.
