CHAPTER 566: CHAPTER 240: UNEXPECTED KILLING

"Need anything?" Wan Chaoxin looked at Bai Wanli and asked.

"Better to go for a trip." Bai Wanli smiled and said, "In case Elder Dao, who guards the Heaven Gate, patrols this way and discovers the situation here, we might have trouble. We’ll need our little aunt to hold Elder Dao back, preventing him from interfering with our affairs. Of course, the Heaven Gate is vast, and Elder Dao may not necessarily discover the situation here; it’s just a precaution. A greeting is enough, no need for the little aunt to truly intervene, we can kill Li Xiu ourselves."

"Okay." Wan Chaoxin nodded, turned around, and prepared to go downstairs.

He knew Li Changyin insisted he come over to leverage Wan Chaocun’s power, not only to prevent Elder Dao from discovering the problem here but also to prevent Li Qingyi from advancing to the Light Base level before they arrived.

With Wan Chaocun’s intervention, even if Li Qingyi advances to the Light Base level, Li Xiu can’t be saved.

"Who is upstairs?" Before Wan Chaoxin could go downstairs, he suddenly heard Bai Wanli’s cold shout.

A few people looked at Bai Wanli, only to see his eyes focused on the stairway of the third floor, his expression somewhat gloomy.

"What’s going on?" Han Mingshou asked.

"Someone’s up there." Bai Wanli confirmed.

All four drew their weapons and vigilantly watched the stairway entrance, knowing the people who appear here at this time are most likely Li Xiu and Li Qingyi.

Li Xiu and Li Qingyi felt a bit frustrated; they didn’t make any noise, unsure how Bai Wanli discovered them.

"Li Xiu, you heard the conversation. Hiding is useless. You will inevitably die today, come down like a man and face it." Wan Chaoxin shouted towards the stairway.

Li Xiu ignored him, silently focusing on the stairway entrance, summoning the Jedi Knight beside the stairway. If anyone dared to come up, they’d receive a strike, testing who could withstand a blow from a Super Spirit Limit Jedi Knight.

"Miss, this matter does not concern you. If you can leave now, Bai Wanli would be immensely grateful." Bai Wanli shouted towards the third floor.

Li Qingyi didn’t say a word either, summoning the Unbreakable Cold Ice Shield. She instantly spiritualized into Indestructible Ice Armor, wearing it and guarding the other side of the stairway entrance.

"It seems those upstairs are certainly them. Although deviating somewhat from the plan, this works as well. Once we charge up, I’ll engage Miss, and you three quickly eliminate Li Xiu." Bai Wanli said to Su Bancheng, Han Mingshou, and Wan Chaoxin.

"So, Vice President Bai intends to rush up first?" Han Mingshou sneered.

The stairway is narrow; if Li Xiu and Li Qingyi are indeed up there, the first person to ascend would have to bear their frenzied attacks. No one wants to be the first.

The three originally assumed Bai Wanli, with his slippery nature, wouldn’t be the first to rush up. Yet Bai Wanli smiled and nodded, saying, "Since I’m leading this plan, it’s naturally my duty to do so."

Han Mingshou and Wan Chaoxin were somewhat surprised, not expecting Bai Wanli to readily agree to take the risk first.

"After I get up there, follow immediately. I’ll engage Miss, and you three must not hold back. Eliminate Li Xiu as swiftly as possible, giving him no opportunity." Bai Wanli said, while already heading up the staircase, producing a shield with a lion pattern from somewhere.

"Golden Lion Shield!" Wan Chaoxin and Han Mingshou exclaimed in surprise. Only now did they understand the reason behind Bai Wanli’s courage to proceed first.

The Golden Lion Shield, like the Dragon-slaying Dagger, was the former elder’s Parasitic Contract, and both were Super Spirit Level.

Unlike the Dragon-slaying Dagger, the Golden Lion Shield is purely a defensive contract, also possessing a highly practical Talent Skill, "Lion’s Roar."

In terms of defense, the Golden Lion Shield is no less than Li Qingyi’s Unbreakable Cold Ice Shield. Moreover, the Lion’s Roar skill can absorb all attacks onto the shield itself. Before the Golden Lion Shield breaks, neither contract nor Demonic Light can harm its owner in the slightest; it’s truly a defensive tool.

Back then, the elder wielded a Dragon-slaying Dagger and a Golden Lion Shield, although not the strongest Trial Taker, was one of the most difficult to provoke. No one wanted to fight such a person.

If not for disasters within Heaven Gate, even in the current Eternal Heaven, few were his equals.

Bai Wanli, with the Golden Lion Shield on top, charged upwards, followed by Su Bancheng, Han Mingshou, and Wan Chaoxin.

The golden lion pattern on the Golden Lion Shield radiated golden light, letting out a lion’s roar-like sound, with the entire shield vibrating at a high frequency.

Li Xiu, from above, saw the Golden Lion Shield but couldn’t see the person underneath, only commanding the Jedi Knight to attack.

The Jedi Knight had already entered the Super Spirit state, with swords performing a frenzied dance like chopping meat, with Blood Light Slash continuously striking the Golden Lion Shield.

Only the sounds of impact persisted as the Golden Lion Shield stubbornly blocked the incessant Blood Light Slash assaults, the slashes leaving knife marks on the shield, but none could break it.

Taking advantage of the Jedi Knight’s attacking interval, Bai Wanli leaped up with the shield, directly charging towards Li Qingyi upon glancing at her.
