Chapter 254 Lip Restoration
Far away, gunshots were heard, and Su Rui’s expression instantly darkened terribly!
During the time he was away, something had finally gone wrong!
Fortunately, Lin Aoxue had called him, otherwise he would still be leisurely making his way here!
Outside the courtyard wall, there were several armed men in black. When they saw the Passat racing toward them, they immediately realized reinforcements had arrived and hurriedly opened fire!
Su Rui paid no attention, ducking down in his seat as the car faced the hail of bullets, executing an extremely long drift!
The drift was incredibly fast. Su Rui didn’t even touch the brakes, and Zhou Xianwei, who hadn’t fastened his seatbelt, was thrown to the other side of the car by the powerful centrifugal force!
He reacted quickly, kicking open the car door and flying out with the momentum!
The Passat’s rear end made brief contact with the three armed men, sending them flying several meters and crashing heavily to the ground!
Wang Zheng’s car didn’t stop, accelerating directly over the three bodies!
Their ribcages and spines were completely crushed—they were clearly as dead as could be!
“I leave the outside to you!” Su Rui shouted to Zhou Xianwei, then rushed out of the car door and with a flip, leaped over the three-meter-high courtyard wall!
Lin Aoxue, watching Su Rui descend almost from the sky, suddenly felt a tightness in her nose.
Due to his earlier injury, Jin Taizhu was completely at a disadvantage, being relentlessly pursued by Jennings, and was now repeatedly coughing blood!
“So this is all the Twelve Divine Guards amount to. Die!” Jennings, who had been seriously injured earlier, was finally getting his revenge. He leaped high, bending his knee, seemingly intending to crush Jin Taizhu’s ribcage with it!
Jin Taizhu tried to dodge, but at that moment, he noticed a figure descending from the sky!
Jennings also sensed the danger and turned abruptly, only to see a knee growing larger and larger before his eyes!
Su Rui, with no leverage in mid-air, grabbed Jennings’ hair with one hand and violently drove his knee forward. Instantly, Jennings felt as if his entire facial structure had exploded! He completely lost control of his body and flew backward!
As soon as Su Rui’s feet touched the ground, he launched himself again, catching up to the still-flying Jennings in mid-air, holding the opponent’s body horizontally, and driving his knee upward with tremendous force!
Crack!
A bone-chilling sound of breaking bones rang out as Jennings’ spine fractured!
Before a heart-wrenching scream could even emerge, Su Rui’s hand, like a knife, had already struck his throat!
Throat bones shattered!
Before his corpse even hit the ground, Su Rui was already sprinting toward another direction!
From climbing over the wall to killing Jennings, Su Rui had taken less than three seconds!
It was almost an instant kill! They weren’t even in the same league!
Guchnik and Holman were still locked in fierce combat. Without the support of bullets, Holman was slightly at a disadvantage against Guchnik, who specialized in physical training. After a barrage of powerful iron fists, Holman’s arms were going numb!
“Holman, without your gun, you’re nothing but trash!”
Guchnik roared.
In fact, Holman wasn’t as weak as Guchnik claimed. It was just that Guchnik specialized in physical training and had superior close combat abilities, which was why Holman was at a slight disadvantage.
“Once you’re dead, Lin Aoxue will be ours!” Guchnik sneered.
But in the next second, he discovered that his iron fist had been caught by a hand that had appeared from the side!
That hand didn’t look particularly strong—it even appeared somewhat fair-skinned. Yet this very hand had blocked his lethal strike!
Su Rui’s left hand gripped the iron fist and squeezed hard!
Guchnik’s iron fist, capable of punching through steel plates, began to distort and deform, emitting a series of bone-chilling cracking sounds!
“Was it that bastard Hades who sent you?” Su Rui asked coldly.
By now, Guchnik’s hand was almost completely crushed. He howled in pain and swung his other fist!
“How dare you disrespect Lord Hades! Die!”
But another wave of excruciating pain hit him, nearly causing him to pass out!
A four-edged military dagger was now embedded in his iron fist!
Not only that, the dagger had entered through his fingers and emerged from the back of his hand, leaving two square-shaped bloody holes in his palm!
“Who are you? Who are you? How can you be so powerful?”
Guchnik was in too much pain to speak clearly. He stared at Su Rui, his eyes filled with disbelief!
His own strength was already considerable, almost unbeatable in close combat among the Dark Knights, yet this man had effortlessly neutralized his attack!
Nearby, Holman revealed a mocking smile: “Dying at the master’s hands is your honor.”
“Master? You are… you are the Sun God… Apollo…” Guchnik never imagined that the Sun God Apollo was actually in China! And right in front of him!
Lin Aoxue, watching through the glass, couldn’t hear Guchnik’s words, but she could see his lip movements!
“What is he saying?” Lin Aoxue understood that Guchnik must have recognized Su Rui’s identity!
Curious about Su Rui’s identity, she instinctively memorized Guchnik’s lip movements!
Su Rui no longer needed Guchnik’s answer. They were certainly sent by Hades, but Hades’ true intentions were worth pondering!
“It’s me,” Su Rui said coldly.
And these words undoubtedly sent Guchnik to hell!
He knew he would never survive!
What was supposed to be just a probing attack had evolved into this outcome!
He couldn’t accept it!
But no matter how unwilling he was, Su Rui’s four-edged dagger had already pierced his chest!
“Go join your companion,” Su Rui said, pulling out the dagger. Immediately, a fountain of blood spurted from Guchnik’s chest!
Two great Dark Knights of Hades’ Temple died simultaneously on the spot!
Jin Taizhu and Holman, covered in blood, stood before Su Rui and apologetically said, “Master, sorry, we almost…”
“It’s alright, not your fault.”
Su Rui naturally wouldn’t blame his capable subordinates. After all, with two Dark Knights leading so many skilled fighters in a forceful attack on the Lin family villa, it was impossible for Jin Taizhu and Holman alone to hold them off, as the strength of both sides was roughly equal.
Lin Aoxue, upstairs, looked at Su Rui’s back with complex emotions.
When Su Rui appeared, she truly had an impulse to rush downstairs, but her personality had stopped her.
“Little Jin, Little Ho, it’s been years since we’ve met, and it seems you haven’t improved at all.”
By this time, Zhou Xianwei had eliminated all the ambushes outside and walked over with a smile.
Seeing Zhou Xianwei appear, Jin Taizhu and Holman both trembled, then simultaneously rubbed their eyes, as if they couldn’t believe what they were seeing!
Zhou Xianwei, who had disappeared for four years, had reappeared before them!
“You’re… not dead?” Jin Taizhu asked excitedly!
“Are you that eager for me to die?” Zhou Xianwei laughed heartily, coming over to give each of them a bear hug.
“Big brother, you’ve killed two Dark Knights. Hades will probably fight you to the death now. He’s the God of the Underworld, not so easy to deal with,” Zhou Xianwei said, though he didn’t show any fear at all.
In Hades’ Temple, the Dark Knights held positions equivalent to the Twelve Sun God Guards. Each death was a huge loss, and if someone killed a Sun God Guard, Su Rui would definitely go all out to eliminate them.
If Hades hadn’t provoked him first, endangering Lin Aoxue, Su Rui wouldn’t have killed Jennings and the others, as such an action meant complete opposition to Hades! No one wants to bring such a terrifying enemy upon themselves!
But they had intended to violate Lin Aoxue, which was intolerable. Even if other gods came, Su Rui would absolutely act without hesitation!
“Master, it seems Hades is determined to obtain the tri-chloro-ammonium,” Jin Taizhu said.
Su Rui nodded: “Indeed, he’s determined. Not just him—the other gods are probably also eager. The attraction of tri-chloro-ammonium is simply too great for them.”
Zhou Xianwei crossed his arms: “With two Dark Knights and over twenty experts dead, Hades might be angry enough to come to China himself!”
“Yes, this is almost a fight to the death.”
“No,” Su Rui shook his head. “Remember one truth: there are no eternal enemies, no eternal friends, only eternal interests. Things aren’t without room for negotiation. Hades still doesn’t know who killed his subordinates, does he?”
Just then, Su Rui’s phone rang. Seeing the caller, his eyes instantly narrowed to slits!
After hanging up, Su Rui said softly, “This was Hades’ probe.”
“What do you mean?”
“The Strategist just called. Hades, in person, went to the Sun God Temple,” Su Rui’s voice conveyed unparalleled gravity.
“So, my presence in China can now be fully confirmed,” Su Rui shook his head. It was truly a case of fearing the worst and getting it. Hades was no good character, and once he latched onto you, it was very difficult to shake him off!
There was one piece of information Su Rui didn’t share: the consistently resourceful Strategist hadn’t fooled Hades. If Apollo wasn’t at headquarters, then he was very likely in China.
If at this moment, Hades revealed that Su Rui wasn’t at home and gathered several vengeful forces to attack the headquarters—surrounding Wei to rescue Zhao—then… the consequences would be unimaginable, considering there were quite a few gods among the Twelve who held grudges against him!
During the early rise of the Sun God Temple, these gods had all suffered losses at Su Rui’s hands to varying degrees!
Thinking of this connection, cold sweat almost broke out on Su Rui’s forehead.
“I hope Hades isn’t such an idiot. I must let him know that breaking with me brings no benefits,” Su Rui said coldly, his gaze revealing a hint of ruthlessness.
At this moment, Lin Aoxue was standing in front of a full-length mirror, carefully examining her reflection, trying to recreate Guchnik’s lip movements before his death.
“You are… the Sun God… Apollo…” These words came out haltingly from Lin Aoxue’s mouth!
