Chapter 49 Cooperation
"The noise stopped."

Downstairs of an old residential building.

Ning Wu's figure was hidden in the shadow of the corner. She closed her eyes, sensing what was happening upstairs. However, due to the distance, her inspiration was unable to reach it, and she could only distinguish the general situation through various sounds and movements.

And we can roughly judge it from the screams and fighting sounds just now.

A fierce battle broke out between Lao Ya and the other seven people and Li Yi, and the battle went very badly. The losses on their side should be considerable.

But it all happened too fast and ended too fast.

From the time it started to the time it stopped, it should have been only a little over a minute.

"Is it a success or a failure? With so many people dealing with Li Yi alone, there should be no possibility of failure. Li Yi has only been practicing for a month, and Lao Ya and the others are all very experienced practitioners. There is no reason why they cannot defeat a young boy." Ning Wu slowly opened his eyes and frowned slightly.

She wanted to go upstairs to take a look, but she held back.

Because she didn't want to be directly involved in this matter.

Otherwise, she would not be able to escape responsibility if the people from the Investigation Bureau came, and someone had to take the rare object away. If Ning Wu got involved, then the rare object would be stolen goods and would most likely be targeted by investigators, which would then be another troublesome matter.

"I'll go take a look."

Suddenly, a cultivator emerged from another alley. His name was Kong Sheng, and he was responsible for keeping watch at the outermost edge to prevent any accidents.

"Why did you suddenly come here? Forget it, the matter is over anyway. Go over and take a look at the situation. Report to me immediately if there is any problem." Ning Wu thought for a moment, then nodded and agreed to Kong Sheng's request.

Kong Sheng rushed into the corridor without saying anything else and went up the stairs.

soon.

When he was going upstairs, he saw two medium-level practitioners lying in the corridor in front of him. Their bodies were soaked in a pool of blood and there was no movement.

"died?"

Kong Sheng's heart trembled, and he walked to the door cautiously.

The dim room was in a mess and dead silent.

He poked his head inside and was stunned by the tragic situation inside. He saw corpses scattered all over the room. These corpses were all practitioners who had participated in this operation before. Among them, Old Crow was leaning against the wall next to the window. His head was drooping, his body was soft and motionless, and one of his arms seemed to be broken and twisted.

"All finished? How is that possible? Is that Li Yi so powerful?"

Kong Sheng was shocked.

However, at this moment, he suddenly smelled danger and his hair stood on end.

A figure suddenly rushed out and then ran in front of him.

Kong Sheng only saw a pair of murderous eyes shining brightly in the huge shadow in front of him, which made people terrified.

"Don't do anything, I'm Lu Jue's friend." He shouted hurriedly.

next moment.

A fist stopped right in front of his eyes with a terrible explosion.

The wind from his fists was whistling, and he couldn't even open his eyelids.

"Lu Jue's friend? You were the one who tipped him off that someone was coming to kill me?" As Li Yi's voice rang out, the fist that was in front of Kong Sheng slowly lowered itself down.

Kong Sheng only felt that his heart, which had suddenly shrunk, started beating again, and his back was covered in cold sweat. If the punch did not stop, his head would probably be blown up.

Too brutal.

This Li Yi is so ferocious, how do Lao Ya and the others have the courage to kill others?
Kong Sheng didn't have time to calm down. He said quickly, "Yes, I was the one who tipped off Lu Jue. He told me about you. You two are friends. I heard him talk about you. Since we are all acquaintances, I chose to betray him in this mission. It's just that I only got the specific mission information ten minutes ago. I didn't know that the person I was going to kill was you."

"I see. I have to thank you. If it weren't for your intelligence, I wouldn't have had time to react and might have been killed by Lao Ya and his gang." Li Yi stared at Kong Sheng, and then the boiling murderous intent gradually subsided.

"But it's definitely not just Old Crow who's involved in this matter. That woman is also involved. She and Old Crow are in the same group."

Kong Sheng nodded and said, "Are you talking about Ning Wu? That's right, the people this time were all hired by her, and she is downstairs now."

"Just downstairs? Good, very good. With so many lives lost, one more won't make a difference." Upon hearing this, Li Yi's murderous intent, which had just been suppressed, was ignited again, and he immediately walked out the door.

"Wait, wait." Suddenly, Kong Sheng called him.

"What's wrong?" Li Yi stopped and looked back.

Kong Sheng whispered, "Ning Wu is a practitioner at the spiritual realm, and her strength is extraordinary. She didn't get involved this time because she didn't want to get involved in any deaths and attract investigators. It might be dangerous for you to go find her now."

"Inspiration realm? So what? Whether we can win or not, we will know after the fight. And if I don't kill her today, she will kill me. There is no way to avoid it." Li Yi's face was normal, without the slightest fear. Although it was powerful to have a cultivator of a higher level, as long as Ning Wu didn't master the technique, he had the confidence to fight.

"Not only that, Ning Wu also hired a wanted criminal named Wang Kui just to be on the safe side. Although Wang Kui is only at the Psychic Medium level, he has a sniper rifle in his hand. The rifle was originally developed by the Investigation Bureau to deal with cultivators and extraordinary creatures. Later, he killed an investigator, stole the gun and fled to the abandoned city area. He also used this gun to kill at least six cultivators, including one at the Inspirational Realm."

Kong Sheng revealed a very important piece of information at this moment.

Sniper rifle?
My goodness, that Ning Wu is still as ruthless as before. She even used a gun to attack me.

Li Yi's expression suddenly changed: "Where is Wang Kui now? Why didn't he take action before?"

"I don't know. Wang Kui is a wanted criminal and it's not easy for him to show up. I guess he is hiding somewhere in this old city. As for why he didn't take action just now, I think Ning Wu thought Lao Ya could take you down, so she didn't want Wang Kui to get involved. She invited Wang Kui just to buy insurance. After all, once the gun went off, things would be different."

Kong Sheng whispered, "And just now when I was standing guard nearby, I was looking for Wang Kui's trace, but unfortunately I didn't find him. But I suspect Wang Kui is in the residential building behind Ning Wu, because that's the only place I didn't search."

"I'm going to kill Wang Kui, and you help me find a way to delay Ning Wu. After I succeed, I'll come back to deal with her." Li Yi thought for a moment and said seriously.

Kong Sheng immediately panicked: "I can't do this."

"At this point, you and I have no choice. You can either kill me and hand in the task to Ning Wu, or we can join forces to kill them. Isn't Wang Kui a wanted criminal? After I kill him, I'll give you the reward, and I'll give you another 10 million personally. When the people from the Investigation Bureau come, I can testify that you are my friend and innocent. This whole thing has nothing to do with you, and you can get away with it."

Li Yi said, "Besides, I asked you to hold Ning Wu back, not to fight him. You just need to figure out a way to maneuver around and buy me time to kill Wang Kui."

He bid a high price because money was not important at this time.

As he finished speaking, Kong Sheng's face suddenly changed and he fell into hesitation.

There are risks, but the benefits are huge.

You know, Wang Kui’s personal bounty is as high as eight million, plus Li Yi’s ten million, he can indeed make a lot of money.

Moreover, if he succeeds, not only can he obtain two sums of clean money, but he can also get rid of the charge of murder, thus killing two birds with one stone.

If you refuse.

Not to mention whether he would be killed by Li Yi, he would not be able to explain to Ning Wu, and he would also have to bear the charge of murder.

"Okay, I've thought it through. I promise you." Kong Sheng took a deep breath and made a choice immediately.

Since you're going to turn against us, do it thoroughly.

Looking back and forth, wavering, you will offend both sides.

He also believed in his friend Lu Jue's judgment that Li Yi was worth associating with.

"Very good. I am very familiar with this old city. I will go and find that Wang Kui. You should be careful. If you really can't handle it, you can make some noise and I will show up on my own initiative."

After Li Yi finished speaking, he no longer hesitated and went straight back home. He ignored the corpses all over the floor, jumped out of the window, and disappeared from Kong Sheng's sight.

Kong Sheng did not hesitate and immediately went downstairs and returned the same way.

soon.

He walked out of the old residential building.

Ning Wu was still standing in the shadows not far away, waiting. She looked at Kong Sheng with some suspicion: "What's the situation up there? And who were you talking to just now?"

Kong Sheng was quick-witted and said immediately, "The situation up there is very tragic. Several people died, and some were seriously injured and unconscious. The intelligence is wrong. Li Yi's strength is extraordinary. He is no longer something that ordinary medium-level practitioners can contend with. I observed the corpses and found fist marks on every corpse."

"That fist mark is very scary. It may be a kind of boxing technique. In addition, Lao Ya is in a very bad condition now. He has a broken arm. I was just communicating with him."

"Ning Wu, I suggest you call the emergency number immediately and rescue the person first. As for Li Yi, I advise you to ignore him. I didn't see him when I went upstairs just now. I think he got injured and ran away."

"Impossible, how could this happen?" Ning Wu's face suddenly changed when she heard the news.

She thought Li Yi had been successfully killed, and now Lao Ya was searching for rare items in Li Yi's house. She never expected things to be like this.

Not only did the operation fail, resulting in heavy casualties, but Li Yi also escaped.

"This is what happened. If you don't believe me, you can go upstairs and take a look. I didn't lie to you. Besides, the old crow is dying. It's hard to say whether he can survive." Kong Sheng said.

"Damn it."

At this moment, Ning Wu could no longer hold back. She no longer cared whether she would be involved in this major case. She took a step and her figure instantly jumped out from the shadows. Then a few footsteps echoed, and she had already entered the corridor and arrived at the third floor in a blink of an eye.

Kong Sheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had successfully lured the tiger away from the mountain. Then he glanced around and saw a figure flash by and disappear into the residential building opposite.

"Li Yi has started to act." He said to himself.
