Chapter 247
Only, Earth wasn't suitable to cultivate. Even he could do nothing about it, let alone an ordinary person. If it weren't for him coincidently getting the Longevity Stone, he couldn't have become a God so quickly. With his former pace, it might have taken 40-50 years.
Long Yingqing peeked at Jiang Xiu's marble-like face from aside, saying in a light voice, "Thank you!"
Jiang Xiu felt this to be strange, "What are you thanking me for?"
"I read in some ancient Greek records regarding those so-called holy women used for sacrificial offerings. They aren't able to live a long life, and only live till 20 at most. That's why… Thank you!"
"I just saved you in passing."
Long Yingqing knew there was no need for Jiang Xiu to remove the soul fragment if he wanted to hurt the monk and could've left it inside her body. Perhaps it was easy for him to do it, but doing it was more than often troublesome than not doing it. "Anyway… thank you!"
A slightly wicked smile perked up on Jiang Xiu's face, "I just wanted to awe Heaven's Gate and let them understand that I'm not someone they should provoke. Only, your gratitude is a bit too early, you'll soon hate me to the bitter end."
Long Yingqing's expression warped, "You really plan to go to the Holy Land?"
"Of course!"
Jiang Xiu wondered if something was wrong with this girl's brain. The car was already on the route towards that place, so this question was really too naïve. Jiang Luoxia was someone who always keeps his word.
Long Yingqing bit her cherry lips, "Don't go. It's not like I'm worried for you, but since you helped me, I just want to warn you that the Holy Land isn't as simple as you think."
"You'll definitely die if you go there!"
"Oh?"
Long Yingqing nodded, "The way you killed Lee Jae-Ki was indeed fearsome, and the method you used to kill the monk was even more unimaginable, but even if you add all of that together, you still aren't Heaven's Gate's opponent as you don't understand them. Even if you want to make them your enemy, you need to know about them. Know yourself, know your enemy, and you shall come unscathed through a hundred battles."
Jiang Xiu sneered, "Long Yingqing, trying to evaluate me based on your abilities is just in vain." Even if you have thousands of tricks, it's as thin as paper in front of absolute power. Just a slash from my saber is enough to settle it.
"Do as you wish then!" Long Yingqing said somewhat resentfully.
She had never tried to persuade someone so sincerely and had not even treated Lee Jae-Ki like this. In fact, she was quite unfamiliar with Lee Jae-Ki. It wasn't like she had spent a short time with him. Since she had stayed in Korea for 3 years, she should've become well-acquainted with that man, but the conflict in her heart didn't allow her to familiarize herself with him.
Because she knew it was just a marriage for benefits.
Noticing the sadness flash through Long Yingqing's eyes, Jiang Xiu vaguely saw his own silhouette in her, from the time when he had run into the Jiang family in his previous life and become a political marriage tool. Those people only saw their own benefits and never thought of her life.
Suddenly, Jiang Xiu felt a terrible aura lock onto himself. At this moment, the car was traveling at a speed of 100 MPH, so he was really curious which expert was able to lock onto him when he was moving so fast.
He took a glance back, immediately after which his eyes opened wide, making him curse out. Fudge! Rage welled up in his heart as he spoke in a cold voice, "Ignorant idiot!"
On top of a discarded building at a distance, a person had a bazooka propped up on his shoulder with the car Jiang Xiu was inside as his target.
To kill Jiang Luoxia, they had stooped down to the lowest, vulgar methods.
Naturally, it was a Korean flat-faced person.
He revealed a nasty smile, "Go to hell!"
Boom!
The missile thrust out of the bazooka with a powerful driving force, shooting out along with a flash and smoke. It rushed towards the land rover Jiang Xiu was traveling inside with astonishing speed.
Long Yingqing also heard the rocketing sound, causing her to turn back to look and was spooked out of her mind. She saw the missile fly over towards them, despair drowning her entire heart. This thing's power could blast the car they were inside into pieces.
"Aaaaahhh!"
She screamed out loud in fear.
Jiang Xiu believed that this Korean man should've seen Long Yingqing's face through the scope. Even if he didn't see it clearly, he should've known Long Yingqing was abducted by him.
Since he used the bazooka under such circumstances, it meant that not only Jiang Xiu's life was at aim, but even Long Yingqing was a target as well. They didn't even consider the fact that she was once the fiancée of their young master or that she was the young lady of the Long family.
That ambusher exposed a cruel smile on his face. Typically, the result would've been a massive explosion with the car blown to the skies, but in the next moment, his expression went rigid. "How is that possible?!"
He saw that missile baselessly stop in mid-air. Its back kept spouting out flames, but it didn't move forward a single bit.
It didn't detonate?
As if that missile had gained intelligence, it made a U-turn then aimed towards the ambusher's location. His eyes grew wide open. "FUCK!"
Immediately after that, the missile shot towards him.
He responded quickly and assumed a lying posture on the ground. He was Korea's top-tier murim artist and also a soldier king. He was fully aware that his only chance to live through this was to lie down on the ground and not stick his chest to the ground while lying down. That'd be a mistake as the vibrations from the explosion would injure his internal organs if he did that. Many fresh recruits believed they'll be fine after lying down, but after the event, they'd cough up blood then die. It was best to use the arm's support while lying down.
He had done this kind of movement at least 10,000 times during his military service. Lying down on the spot, lying down after doing a roll… but even if his actions were perfect, it was all in vain.
The power of modern hot weapons was much stronger than the ones used during WWII. Moreover, to handle Jiang Luoxia, he had brought the one with the maximum power. It could destroy the discarded building with ease.
Boom!
The missile's implosion gave rise to an awful heat as well as pressure. The explosion's force destroyed the entire building, along with that man's body who was wallowing in despair. Fortunately, this process was quick. It was just that even in his death, he still couldn't understand how that missile had changed its course.
The ones who had got the short end of the stick were the other experts sent by the Lee family who were also inside the same building. They didn't even get a chance to show their skills before they got killed in the explosion.
Those 13 people and were the core strength of the Lee family.
The building's destruction gave rise to a huge dust cloud as well as an explosive sound. The water inside glasses set on tables in the surrounding 5 km all rippled due to the vibrations.
The car was almost thrown up due to the heatwave, but it was suppressed by Jiang Xiu. The tires drifted against the ground violently as it slid 2-3 m aside. The car's windows were unable to hold on and disintegrated as well.
"Are you fine?" Jiang Xiu asked.
Long Yingqing was frightened. Her pretty eyes looked at Jiang Xiu with disbelief. The missile seemed to be just a children's toy in front of his power. She rejoiced about this very much. If it weren't for him being so powerful, she'd have got killed. Damn trash of the Lee family, you actually tried to kill me.
The land rover dashed out of the smoke. At a distance, a man laid slowly laid down the binoculars in shock. This person was An Long. He never expected the Lee family would use a weapon of this rank but even more than that, he didn't think dealing with such a hot weapon was nothing but child's play to Jiang Luoxia.
According to the information he had received, around a dozen elite members of the Lee family planned to ambush Jiang Luoxia and were hidden on this road, so he intended to provide support.
Only now did he understand that it was completed unnecessary.
If he had guessed it right, those Lee family members were inside the building. Moreover, they were probably now buried in its ruins.
It wasn't that they got wiped out due to their foolishness but rather that Jiang Luoxia was so powerful that he didn't even fear a missile.
"Mr. Jiang, are you really going to decimate the Holy Land?"
The mission he had received from his superiors was to prevent Jiang Luoxia from leaving towards the Holy Land. He didn't know just how would he complete such a mission.
Looking at the car disappear, he rushed out of the building and chased after it.
"Mr. Jiang, I hope you don't do such a foolish thing."
