Chapter 1509 Not Dead?
Chen Xuan’s expression changed instantly upon hearing this.
Right, he had agreed to cooperate with the World Tree. He would help the World Tree find energy, and the World Tree would help him fight. He had been so focused on completing missions that he had completely forgotten about this.
"My apologies, I forgot. I'll go find it for you now."
Chen Xuan was already feeling guilty, so his attitude was rather good.
World Tree: "You go immediately, or I'll self-destruct my dantian."
Chen Xuan’s face darkened, and he asked, "Where should I look for energy?"
As he spoke, Chen Xuan had already left his residence.
"Wait, the energy is here!"
Chen Xuan was slightly stunned. He felt a gust of wind and turned to look, his face instantly changing dramatically.
Good heavens, a dump truck was crashing towards him!
This was not energy at all, it was clearly a dump truck!
Although Chen Xuan’s strength was astonishing now, he didn't want to be hit by a dump truck for no reason.
He moved, and the dump truck grazed past Chen Xuan's belly.
At this moment, he could still hear the dump truck driver cursing, "Damn it, can't you see where you're going? Do you want to die!"
Chen Xuan: "..."
"Where is the energy?"
Chen Xuan said irritably.
As soon as he spoke, a black car, which was following the dump truck, stopped in front of him. A dark figure flashed out from the car, masked in black, holding a dagger.
"Is this the energy you mentioned?"
Chen Xuan's mind was a little short-circuited.
Isn't this an assassin?
World Tree: "He has something I need!"
Chen Xuan sized up the masked man, his divine sense quickly scanning him. He discovered that the masked man indeed possessed a powerful energy, as if he had some treasure.
The masked man in black felt his scalp tingle under Chen Xuan's gaze.
This guy wasn't running, nor was he shouting. He was just staring at him. Did he have something unclean on him?
"Kid, don't try to play coy with me. I'm telling you, I won't fall for your tricks!"
"How old are you?"
This childish voice made Chen Xuan pause slightly.
How did it sound like this assassin wasn't very old?
"Logically speaking, you shouldn't ask me why I'm here to kill you, or who sent me to kill you, or why you're asking my age. Could it be that you want to use my age to perform some mysterious technique? I won't tell you!" the assassin immediately said.
"You misunderstood..."
Chen Xuan did not expect the assassin to have misunderstood.
"Kid, I'm an assassin sent to kill you. Die quickly!"
The assassin quickly got into character and lunged towards Chen Xuan's heart.
Chen Xuan reached out, grabbed the assassin's wrist, and kicked out. The dagger flew away.
"You..."
The assassin's face changed. He didn't expect Chen Xuan to be so strong.
Chen Xuan pulled, removing the assassin's mask, revealing a young face. However, this face looked somewhat familiar. "To be an assassin at such a young age..."
He could be sure that this kid was no older than fifteen or sixteen.
"Who sent you to kill me? The Ge family in the capital?"
"Kill me, I came here voluntarily!" the assassin said resolutely.
"Even if you don't say it, I know. Then I'll send you to see the King of Hell!"
Chen Xuan raised his hand and struck.
Tears fell from the assassin’s eyes: "Sister Xue'er, I couldn't avenge you or our Li family. It's all my fault for not learning enough!"
Hearing this voice, Chen Xuan's arm suddenly stopped.
"The Li family? Aren't you Li Meixue's brother?"
He stared at the young face for a few moments and suddenly realized that this fellow bore some resemblance to Li Meixue.
"Yes, I am Li Meixue's brother!"
"Aren't you dead?"
"I'm not dead. I was saved by someone from an assassin organization, and later joined it. Today, I've returned to Xia Country to carry out a mission, and coincidentally, to avenge my entire family. It's just a pity that your enemy is too powerful!"
Li Xiaoming gritted his teeth hatefully: "Alright, you can kill me now, but I won't let you off even as a ghost!"
"What? Avenge your entire family? Are you mistaken?"
Chen Xuan was instantly dumbfounded, staring blankly.
How did he become the murderer? What was going on?
"Even now, you deny it? You're really not a heroic figure!" Li Xiaoming said with contempt. "You're not even a man!"
"Whether I'm a man is a matter of masculine dignity. We need to have a good talk about this."
Chen Xuan was very displeased and said, "I want to tell you that your entire family's death has nothing to do with me."
"Impossible, the Ge family in the capital told me it was you who killed my entire family, that you caused the Ge family in the capital to be destroyed, and had to live in hiding. And you say it has nothing to do with you? You are truly shameless." Li Xiaoming sneered repeatedly.
"What? The people from the Ge family in the capital told you?"
Chen Xuan slapped his forehead, looking at Li Xiaoming as if he were an idiot.
"What kind of look is that?"
Li Xiaoming raised an eyebrow.
No matter how he looked at it, this look wasn't very friendly.
"Let me use a rather unflattering analogy. Do you know what it means to recognize a thief as your father?"
"You're saying I was deceived, and that the Ge family in the capital actually destroyed our Li family?" Li Xiaoming, being very smart, immediately realized.
Chen Xuan showed an appreciative look: "Kid, I didn't realize you were quite smart."
"Are you going to say next that your sister's disappearance also has nothing to do with you?" Li Xiaoming continued.
"Correct! I didn't expect you to be able to infer this way."
Chen Xuan laughed even more heartily.
The next moment, his expression turned grim.
Li Xiaoming sneered, "Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan, just as the Ge family in the capital said, you would say such things. Despicable and shameless!"
Chen Xuan: "..."
Are you an idiot?
However, the Ge family in the capital was even more despicable for having pre-arranged such a tactic with Li Xiaoming.
He sighed helplessly. With this kid's intelligence, it was probably impossible to make Li Xiaoming understand.
"Kid, you're talking nonsense. Hurry up and attack!"
Li Xiaoming knew he couldn't defeat Chen Xuan and had already lost all hope. Now, he just wanted to die quickly and reunite with his family in the underworld.
Chen Xuan, however, released the resigned Li Xiaoming: "You can go!"
"What? Let me go?"
Chen Xuan's actions were beyond Li Xiaoming's expectations.
In his eyes, Chen Xuan was a ruthless villain. How could he let him go?
"Are you deliberately trying to provoke me?"
"I'll tell you again, you were actually deceived by the Ge family in the capital. They are the culprits. I believe you are not an idiot. If you don't believe me, you can investigate this matter thoroughly. If you find the truth, you can come find me."
Chen Xuan said indifferently.
"Okay, I will come back to find you! But next time, you won't be so lucky."
With that, Li Xiaoming gritted his teeth and turned to leave.
However, at this moment, a doubt arose in Li Xiaoming's heart: who was telling the truth?
As soon as Li Xiaoming left, Chen Xuan regretted it and slapped his thigh: "Damn it, I should have taken out that video earlier! Isn't that video the best evidence?"
If he had taken out that video, he could have followed Li Xiaoming to find the Ge family's hiding place in the capital and thus completely eradicate the Ge family.
However, he wasn't worried. After all, he believed that Li Xiaoming would come back to find him.
At this moment, the World Tree's催促 voice suddenly rang out: "Ye Bufan, give me the thing quickly! Hurry up!"
