Nine-layer armor-breaking

Chapter 351 Chaos
"Good bastard! Kill him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man's usual cold expression vanished. Looking at the two people in the distance, he immediately became excited and overjoyed.

This time, he finally didn't hear those grating and annoying nicknames like "Second Brother Bone," "Second Boss," or "Second Brother" again. But he knew deep down that the person wasn't a good one, because that person didn't want him to live.

Kill him? Hmph! He knows better than anyone the consequences of killing someone close to him.

He would never have moved the person with the dagger pressed against him unless he was absolutely certain; he wanted to live a little longer, he didn't want to die.

The person watching from a distance was the same person who had just spoken; he was the manager.

He stared at the leader and the hostage Jiang Xian, so engrossed in watching the blood spurt from the neck of the man under the dagger that he forgot about the actions of his subordinates. The mechanisms under his control were haphazardly manipulated and no longer functioned systematically.

For this reason, in his panic, Guard Li disregarded everything else and, taking advantage of the arrow's deviation, found an opening and headed straight for the master who controlled the mechanism.

When the steward saw Guard Li rushing towards him, he suddenly snapped out of his daze; he had been distracted.

The two had fought before. At that time, the steward had a slight advantage thanks to the pills, and almost exhausted Li's strength. Now, Li had a handy short knife in his hand, while he was empty-handed. In addition, due to the side effects of the previous medicine, he was very weak and his ability to exert his skills was naturally very limited.

Although the manager was somewhat flustered, he took no shortage of emergency measures.

His fingers swiftly applied force to the mechanism, causing it to abruptly change the direction of the arrow. This time, he aimed not at Jiang Xian, nor at Guard Li, but at his feet, the closest point to him.

In fact, for him, without Li Huwei's obstruction, going straight for Jiang Xian and Liu Huwei would be the best opportunity, but he couldn't do that; he still had to live.

He could only deal with the immediate problem first, and to solve it, he needed some weapons, even if they weren't his most suitable ones, it was still better than being empty-handed.

If he hadn't been distracted just now, he wouldn't be in this situation. If he had just created a little more distance, he would still have had a chance to stop Guard Li and wear him down a bit more.

As the distance closes and the number of arrows fired remains the same, Li Huwei will inevitably have to expend more energy to deal with the situation, and his physical strength will be doubled.

However, it was too late to regret it now. Guard Li had already arrived beside him, and the arrows could no longer be aimed at him.

The only thing that could comfort him was that he himself was weak, and Guard Li had also exhausted a lot of his strength.

Therefore, it's still uncertain who will emerge victorious.

"Shh!"

A flash of light appeared, followed by the sound of air being cut.

Faced with Li Huwei's fierce attack, the steward quickly dodged.

He had anticipated this, and Guard Li hadn't expected to hit the target so easily; both sides were testing each other.

However, to the steward's surprise, his body was far weaker than he had imagined.

Just as he was dodging Li Huwei's attack, he found his legs going weak and becoming uncontrollable.

This was an experience he rarely had.

This experience truly made him panic.

"Is it because of the continuous consumption of pills? Or is it because of those medicinal powders?" The steward tried hard to recall the cause in his mind.

He knew that continuously consuming pills would double his physical exhaustion. But would it really come to that?
The manager frowned slightly; the excitement on his face had completely vanished, replaced by anger.

Doubt or confusion, it doesn't matter anymore. The most important thing now is to live.

Apart from that, he didn't care about anyone else. Former teammates, past friendships—he didn't care about any of them, and he didn't have any of those things.

At this critical juncture, he will fight to the death with anyone who tries to stop him or ruin his life.

He still has a path to walk; he has long since stopped living for himself.

"Useless!" he sneered to himself.

But Li, who was unaware of the reason, heard this and was naturally puzzled by what he said.

Who is useless? Is it the incompetence of the organization? Or has he taken some strange elixirs that had no effect? ​​Or is he cursing himself for being useless?

Upon hearing this, Guard Li couldn't help but ask himself a series of questions.

He became increasingly frustrated. So what if he dodged his attack? How could he be so arrogant and dare to mock others?
The steward walked around to the front of the mechanism, intending to pull out a few arrows stuck diagonally in the ground, when he found his steps lightened and he almost knelt down.

His body was no longer fit for use and he was no longer qualified to fight against Guard Li.

Exhausted, unable to use his moves, and without a suitable weapon, he was at his wit's end when he met the gazes of several people.

"Go!" he shouted, calling for Zhu Zi and the others to help.

Although the group hesitated for a moment, this was the only chance they could find to turn the tide, so they stopped hesitating.

They planned to step forward to hold off Guard Li, giving the manager a chance to regain control of the mechanism. Once the manager had dealt with Jiang Xian and Guard Liu, he would be free to help them. At that time, with everyone working together, they would have no trouble bringing down Guard Li.

That's what they thought, and that's what they did, but there was one person who didn't do it that way—the villain who was missing an arm.

The others headed towards Li, the bodyguard, but he himself went towards the direction where Jiang Xian and the backbone were.

He was told that the direction was Jiang Xianhe's main focus, but he didn't approach it. He walked step by step, but before he passed the guard Liu who had his back turned, he suddenly stopped.

He paced back and forth, occasionally looking back, constantly adjusting his position, until finally he stood still, like a cold statue, completely motionless.

The leader's eyes flickered slightly, but he instantly resumed his actions.

He didn't know what the man was thinking, nor what he wanted to do, but what did it matter to him?

He was constantly threatened. Several Earth-ranked warriors, some of whom were crippled, were no match for a high-level Heaven-ranked martial artist. He knew this very well.

Therefore, whatever the person intends to do will not affect the direction of his arrow.

"Watch out!" Guard Li, who was being held up by several men, shouted towards Guard Liu, warning him of the hidden arrows behind him.

In fact, he could have easily escaped from the group in a few moments, but he could also have activated the mechanism in the blink of an eye.

Guard Liu frowned slightly; he knew the situation was not good.

At this moment, not only the two guards were panicked, but even more panicked was their leader.

The leader knew all too well that the manager was a madman, capable of anything and caring about nothing, let alone his own insignificant life.
