Chapter 17: No Remorse
Chapter 17: No Remorse
After Chen Li left the Nan Casino, he sensed that quite a few people were watching him from afar, so he decided to go to a quiet alley. After arriving there, he stopped walking and looked around the area. "Don't you guys want to get out?"
Soon, ten people surrounded him from two directions, they brought a lot of sharp weapons with them, and their leader was a bald man who was none other than bald Jiang. "Hey! You better give me my money back, or they will kill you."
"Oh?" Chen Li shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and he sneered back. "You even gamble using your superpower, yet I can still beat you at gambling easily, and now you want to gang up on me?"
"Heh, I don't care; I'll do anything as long as I can get my money back." Bald Jiang said with a snort.
"Hey, Boss! You don't have to talk to him much."
"Yes! We just need to kill him."
"True, there's no way he can go up against all ten of us."
"Hehe." Bald Jiang laughed loudly as he glared at Chen Li. "Have you heard them? They can't wait to kill you."
"Hey, Boss. Let me deal with him first." A tall, muscular man said as he walked towards Chen Li since he was even much taller than him; he then lowered his face and looked at him. "Heh! You're just an ant in my eyes, and I can kill you easily."
"Really?" Chen Li asked with a faint grin.
"Of course- Ugh!"
The tall and muscular man had not finished his words yet, but a golden sword had pierced his chest. Blood gushed from his mouth and the hole in his chest, and he could only stare at Chen Li until his death.
After that, Chen Li pulled his sword out of the man's chest and kicked his corpse with his Qi, and the corpse was sent flying backward a great distance.
*Bam*
Bald Jiang and the other eight men gasped in shock; they had not seen Chen Li carrying a sword before. But he had suddenly stabbed their comrades in the chest with it, and he had simply died. They then stared at the golden sword; even though their comrade's blood had drenched it, it still managed to provoke their greed.
"Hmm? Do you guys want my sword, too?" Chen Li asked with an evil smile as he pointed his sword at them. "If you want my sword, take it from me."
"Attack him!" Bald Jiang finally ordered his subordinates, Chen Li's golden sword made his greed overflow, and he wanted to have it.
The other eight people quickly moved toward Chen Li, but he still looked at them calmly. After he killed five people in the forest before, coupled with Xiao Huoli's words to him, all of which changed his mindset quite drastically.
Chen Li smirked slightly; he then changed his sword into a desert eagle and shot one of the men in the head.
*Bam*
*thud*
*Silent*
Bald Jiang and the remaining seven froze at the sight of one of their comrades' heads exploding and his blood spraying all over their bodies.
Even Chen Li was surprised to see that; he smiled widely. Even though he was using a gun, he wasn't using bullets but Fire Qi, which made the explosive power of the gun extremely strong, causing the man's head to explode. Actually, he just wanted to give it a try, but the results far exceeded his expectations. 'Hey, the Necklace of Destiny is amazing! Unfortunately, I only have Fire Qi now, and the effects are too overwhelming.'
"Hehe! After all, the Necklace of Destiny is an Immortal Grade artifact, so the effect is extraordinary." Xiao Huoli said as she laughed softly.
Chen Li then shot the other five men, and their heads exploded one by one, causing Bald Jiang and the remaining two to feel extreme horror. Even though Bald Jiang is a superpower possessor, his superpower is not to fight but to support. "Hmm? Three more left, huh?"
"Please... Please spare us."
"Yes... Yes... We will do anything for you if you let us go."
Bald Jiang's two men said with trembling bodies, as Chen Li greatly horrified them. Moreover, his expression was still relaxed even though he had killed many people, and there was no remorse in his expression.
"You guys want me to let you go?" The two men nodded to him repeatedly; Chen Li then rubbed his smooth chin. "I'll let you two go if you kill the bald man. I'll kill you both if you guys don't want to do it."
Upon hearing that, Bald Jiang immediately turned around to flee, but Chen Li released his aura to restrict his movements. 'Ugh! What happened to me? Why can't my body move?'
The two men exchanged glances and nodded to each other; they dashed toward Bald Jiang and attacked him directly with the weapons in their hands.
Since Chen Li restricted his movements, Bald Jiang was powerless to dodge their attacks, and he kept groaning in agony from being injured by their attacks; even blood quickly drenched his body.
Minutes later, the alley became quiet again after Bald Jiang died at the hands of his two men. After that, Chen Li used his Hidden Shadow Steps, moved behind them, and beheaded them instantly.
Their heads instantly separated from their bodies, their eyes opened wide, and they were dead without knowing it.
"Phew." Chen Li breathed a sigh of relief and didn't feel the slightest regret after killing them. He then cleaned the blood on his sword, turned it into a necklace again, and put it around his neck. "Let's leave this place, Sister Huoli."
Since those people tried to kill Chen Li first, so Xiao Huoli didn't say anything to him, and they quickly disappeared from the alley.
Soon, the young girl appeared in the alley, staring at the dead people in horror. "Who exactly is that guy? He even killed these people without mercy, and he has no remorse in his expression. Sigh, I must tell young miss about this since that guy is dangerous; I don't want anything to happen to her later."
After saying that, the young girl immediately disappeared from the scene like a shadow.
Meanwhile, Chen Li returned to his original form and bought a bouquet of red roses.
"Hmm? Why did you buy this many roses?" Xiao Huoli asked in confusion.
Chen Li turned to her and replied with a smile. "Xian'er likes red roses so much, so I bought them for her."
After that, Chen Li went to Feng Xian'er's house but did not meet her because she was already asleep. He then asked Xiao Huoli to put the bouquet of red roses in her room, and he had already given a note to his lover.
