Twisted Dreams-Chapter 202 - 172: Zhi Qiluo

Yang Xiao was pinned to the counter by Li Yang, unable to move. His handsome face was already distorted from the pressure, and he strained his eyes to look upwards at Li Yang.

He asked with difficulty:

"Who... who the hell are you?"

Li Yang held a cigarette in his mouth, looked down to meet his eyes, took a light drag, grabbed Yang Xiao’s hair, lifted his head, and slammed it hard against the counter!

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The sound of the collision echoed in the bar.

The counter was already stained with blood.

Yang Xiao thought this man wasn’t an enemy, just humiliating him for fun. He said angrily:

"What do you want!"

Li Yang squinted slightly due to the smoke, grabbed Yang Xiao’s head, and seemed about to slam it against the counter again.

At this moment, a hoarse woman’s voice with a domineering tone came from behind.

"Tsk tsk tsk, what an ugly sight, getting beaten like this."

Li Yang turned around.

It was a glamorous woman with smoky makeup.

She had voluptuous breasts and wide hips, with a very slender waist.

Standing over 1.7 meters tall, she wore a black leather jacket, black leather pants, and black long leather boots.

The extreme waist-to-hip ratio was striking in this outfit.

Her white short hair looked neat, and there was a wild scar across her pretty face.

The woman in the leather jacket leaned against the door frame, watching Yang Xiao’s battered state with disdain.

Yang Xiao forced a smile:

"Auntie, you’re finally here."

The woman in the leather jacket teased lightly:

"Were you drained by a woman last night?

Getting beaten by such a nobody?"

Yang Xiao argued:

"How could I not know we’re on the run?

I haven’t been with a woman recently, okay?!

This guy’s really weird, maybe he’s... one of those special people."

The woman in the leather jacket looked at Li Yang in surprise:

"An Extraordinary? No wonder.

Are you from the Talisman Sect?

Really persistent like a ghost!"

Yang Xiao smiled bitterly:

"Auntie, can you get me out of here?

I’m bleeding!

If you’re any later, I might be done for!"

The woman in the leather jacket twisted her neck and walked towards Li Yang:

"Alright, we can’t stay in the Imperial Capital long. After dealing with him, let’s get some money and leave quickly."

When she walked, her steps were steady, with her weight slightly to the right, and her right arm swung minimally.

People who habitually walk with this posture are usually systematically trained bodyguards, or... assassins.

The woman in the leather jacket walked up to Li Yang, placing one hand on her hip, picking up a glass of wine from the table, her eyes playful:

"Kid, you mustn’t have done well in the sect.

Otherwise, why would they send you to find us?

Hasn’t anyone told you, apart from Sect Leader Han Hai, no one can keep us?"

As she spoke, flames erupted from the cocktail in the glass!

This woman in the leather jacket was also an Extraordinary!

Moreover, a master skilled in utilizing Spiritual Power!

The woman in the leather jacket downed the flaming drink, and said faintly:

"Usually, I shouldn’t kill on the first day, but it’s your bad luck."

With that, her hand turned claw-shaped, flames burning atop it.

Then, she lunged towards Li Yang’s temple!

Her actions were swift, her strike ruthless!

Li Yang did not move.

Yang Xiao looked at Li Yang in surprise.

This guy doesn’t think this aunt is like him, a mortal, able to block her attack as he did with his bare hands, right?

The gaze of the woman in the leather jacket became even more disdainful.

This kid is more useless than any Talisman Sect disciple encountered before.

Yang Xiao is just unlucky for not having gained any Extraordinary Power?

If Yang Xiao wasn’t skilled in various things, she really wanted to abandon him.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred!

A large, decaying hand appeared from nowhere and grabbed the wrist of the woman in the leather jacket.

The hand, exuding a dark deathly aura, possessed tremendous and strange power, preventing her claw from touching Li Yang!

"What?!"

The woman in the leather jacket widened her beautiful eyes in shock.

She looked unbelievingly to her side.

The creature was tall, hideous, terrifying.

Its mouth stretched wide to its ears, filled with shredded flesh and bloody froth.

This is...

What the hell is this monster!

Additionally, there was a black Magic Circle on the floor.

A creature, with bone spikes on its back, ribs piercing through its abdomen, an oversized skeleton but emaciated flesh, climbed out from that Magic Circle!

Two Undead grabbed her arms, their fearsome strength slowly forcing her towards the ground.

The woman in the leather jacket couldn’t resist, her legs buckled to kneel, her voluptuous body forcibly pressed to the floor.

Her eyes were full of horror, terror.

In the face of such terrifying force, her Extraordinary Power was laughable, like a toy gun!

Li Yang raised a foot, placed it on her head, and discarded the cigarette butt from his mouth.

He grabbed Yang Xiao’s head, slamming it against the counter once more.

Continuing the previous action.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The woman in the leather jacket yammered endlessly, yet he was unfazed, indifferent.

Who knew Boss Li was pretty good at blocking buzzing sounds like flies?

Yang Xiao was unbelievably mentally resilient.

Compared to the terror on the woman in the leather jacket’s face, Yang Xiao was much calmer.

As he took the beating, he attempted to plead for mercy.

Judging from Yang Xiao’s demeanor, he didn’t care at all about the woman in the leather jacket’s life or death.

To Yang Xiao, although he had known the woman, his partner, for years, it was merely a working relationship.

Yang Xiao shouted:

"Brother, please, stop hitting me, I’m really going to be finished.

You must want something from me, right?

I’ll agree to whatever you want, just go easy on me, brother!"

Li Yang paused his actions, Yang Xiao’s head hanging mid-air.

Suddenly, Li Yang let go.

Due to inertia, Yang Xiao fell to the counter.

Li Yang wiped his blood-stained hands on Yang Xiao’s white suit.

...

Ten minutes later.

Yang Xiao and the woman in the leather jacket stood obediently next to Li Yang.

Both were quite good-looking, but now their faces were bruised and battered.

Compared to Yang Xiao’s injuries, the woman in the leather jacket’s wounds were rather severe.

After all, having dared to strike at Li Yang, those Undead wouldn’t let her off lightly.

Li Yang sat on a high stool, pulled out a cigarette from his pocket, and held it in his mouth.

The woman in the leather jacket quickly reached out, a flame sparked from her fingers.

She diligently and respectfully lit the cigarette.

Li Yang glanced at the woman in the leather jacket.

He preferred her defiant nature.

Yang Xiao swallowed hard:

"Brother, what do you want?

Did we steal something from you?

Or... kill your friend?

I honestly don’t remember you."

Li Yang slowly exhaled a puff of smoke:

"I like bartenders who can mix drinks besides martinis."

Yang Xiao was taken aback:

"You just want my bartending skills?"

For a bartender, this seems excessive?

Is it really worth this fuss?

Yang Xiao asked:

"Where’s your bar?"

At that moment, a man’s frightened voice came from the door:

"Who are you people? How did you get in?"

The man was the bar owner.

Li Yang glanced at him and said:

"You’re in my bar now."

Li Yang was quite fond of this bar.

Du Yangming had issued numerous money-contributing tasks to make things easier for Zhu Dajun to become a Great Demon sooner.

He had plenty of money now.
