Chapter 1984 - 1870: Beset on All Sides (Part 3)

Capítulo 1984: Chapter 1870: Beset on All Sides (Part 3)

“Mr. Song, my Azure Scaled Dagger, it can melt even gold.” Ian gave Song Xiaodong no chance, wielding the dagger and quickly striking towards Song Xiaodong. Song Xiaodong turned around and fled, with Ian in hot pursuit. Song Xiaodong kept glancing back, worried that Ian might douse his back with poison. Ian was about to do just that, raising his dagger as he ran, seeking the right moment. As he was about to catch up with Song Xiaodong, Ian swung his dagger and flung the poison.

Song Xiaodong was just glancing back and saw Ian’s move, quickly leaping into the air, dodging the poison Ian had flung. But now airborne, unable to find support, Ian quickly closed the gap. Ian raised his dagger, aiming between Song Xiaodong’s legs.

Just as Ian was about to succeed, unexpectedly the ground beneath him gave way, and he fell into a large pit. Seizing the opportunity, Song Xiaodong somersaulted in the air, dodging Ian’s strike, and with a flick of his wrist sent a silver needle piercing through Ian’s skull, entering the forehead and exiting the back of the head, brain matter splattering.

The large pit was a trap Song Xiaodong had set during the day, originally meant for Sun Yiyi, but unexpectedly found a use at night.

Song Xiaodong turned back, swiftly heading towards Lin Feng and the others.

The six engaged in fierce combat saw Song Xiaodong return alone, knowing Ian most likely was down for good. Lin Feng, Chu Xianling, and Sun Yiyi fought even harder, while Ivan, Julio, and Anya sensed things were turning bad, turned around, and fled towards the sea.

“You came, but if you’re leaving, it would be better to leave some bodies behind!” Song Xiaodong flicked out several silver needles, only to hear Julio’s scream of agony as he fell silent in the sea, leaving Ivan and Anya swimming away.

“Where are they headed?” Sun Yiyi asked.

“There’s probably a small boat waiting for them at a distance.”

“Should we chase them into the sea?” Chu Xianling, nursing bleeding hands battered by the knuckle duster, grimaced but spoke up.

“No, if we don’t enter the sea in two days, they’re sure to attack us. It’s apparent there’s an ambush at sea, we shouldn’t go into the water. They’re the nervous ones.” Lin Feng remarked.

“Oh, it hurts so much, the knuckle duster is really something, I want one too.” Chu Xianling complained.

“Quick, let me see.” Song Xiaodong hurriedly grabbed Chu Xianling’s hands.

“Sect Leader, the gunfire over there hasn’t stopped, we should focus on solving the battle.” Lin Feng reminded.

“Alright, you two don’t know much about firearm battles, so don’t go. Wait here.” Song Xiaodong instructed Chu Xianling and Sun Yiyi.

Chapter 1872: Little Soldier Zhang Ga

“Okay.” Song Xiaodong and Lin Feng quietly bypassed the combat area, heading directly to the mercenaries’ rear.

Both sides had casualties, the mercenaries equipped with advanced weapons and gear, on the verge of storming into the hotel. Song Xiaodong rushed towards a soldier engaged in firing, gripping his head tightly, twisted with power, and with a “crack,” snapped the soldier’s neck. He fell silently, and Song Xiaodong dodged the soldier’s gun, firing from behind a group of men, unleashing a barrage of gunfire, finally dropping seven or eight mercenaries.

All twenty mercenaries were annihilated, eight Dragon Gate Warriors were lost.

The hotel was in complete disarray, all window glass shattered, spotlights on the roof broken, bullet holes everywhere on the walls, the grenade had left many large pits on the first-floor walls, blood and corpses everywhere.

The once peaceful island was turned upside down by Dragon Gate and Dark Night Sect.

Yumi Ono and her staff were hiding in the hotel, never once showing their faces.

Lin Feng ordered to clean the battlefield, Song Xiaodong and Lin Feng went to the seaside to find Sun Yiyi and Chu Xianling.

Song Xiaodong looked at the Azure Scaled Dagger left by Ian, “This dagger sure is formidable, if not for the trap, the result might have been different.” Song Xiaodong remarked, looking at Ivan who lay with eyes wide open gazing at the sky.

“When did you dig the trap?” Sun Yiyi asked.

“During the day, dug a pit, covered it with grass, and buried it with a thin layer of sand.” Song Xiaodong proudly explained to Sun Yiyi.

“Stop, stop, no need to teach us, we’ve all seen ‘Little Soldier Zhang Ga’.” Chu Xianling, looking annoyed, responded as he examined his swollen and bleeding hand.

“This trap was meant for you, I didn’t expect it to be used on him.” Song Xiaodong said to Sun Yiyi.

“For me?” Sun Yiyi recalled playing on the beach during the day when Song Xiaodong called her over, then was summoned away by Chu Xianling.

“Today, the Dark Night Sect left two more dead.” Lin Feng stated.

“I want to take this dagger back for study.” Song Xiaodong then pulled Ivan out of the sand pit, pried open his fingers, and took the dagger.

Clearly just a regular military dagger, except the handle was covered in snake skin, which made it icy to the touch, and the green glimmer had vanished along with the corrosive poison, as Ivan had died.

“Truly peculiar, Dark Night Sect’s evil methods are indeed intriguing.” Song Xiaodong praised repeatedly.

“In the Dragon Gate Secret Vault, such secret techniques should be plentiful as well.” Lin Feng asserted to maintain his confidence.

Song Xiaodong then instructed to throw all bodies into the sea, while personally tending to Chu Xianling’s hand.

“Not too bad, just superficial wounds, no fractures, I’ll apply some medicine and it will be fine.” Song Xiaodong took out a small porcelain bottle, poured out some white powder, applying it carefully on the broken skin of Chu Xianling, then delicately wrapped it with gauze.
