Chapter 870: Slaughtering Through a Street

Assassination!

This scene caused passersby to stop in their tracks, faces full of shock.

The royal city’s security has always been good, even if someone wanted to commit bad deeds, it was all done secretly. This kind of assassination in broad daylight was the first they had witnessed.

However, when they reflexively looked at the person being assassinated and saw that it was the city’s number one loser, Lei Xiaoming, their minds short-circuited for a moment.

Was a loser worth ambushing?

A direct stab would solve it; no need to use a sledgehammer to crack a nut!

But in their eyes, dying from such a high-profile assassination made it worthwhile for Lei Xiaoming.

Just then, the night sky suddenly brightened, and a bolt of thunder descended from the sky.

"Crack!"

The thunder struck the shadowy figure.

Immediately, the shadow fell to the ground on Ye Xiu’s right side, convulsing all over.

"If you want to kill me, can’t you send a decent assassin?"

Ye Xiu stepped on the assassin’s neck and walked away leisurely.

The passersby stared dumbfounded at Ye Xiu’s back.

"Is that Lei Xiaoming?"

"That’s right, it’s him; I’ve seen videos of him being beaten."

"This can’t be right, Lei Xiaoming is the city’s number one loser. How could he summon lightning and so decisively stomp the assassin to death?"

Everyone who witnessed this scene suddenly felt disoriented, as if they had seen a fake Lei Xiaoming.

Ye Xiu didn’t realize how much shock he caused to the bystanders by killing someone and using the Thunder System Totem.

He continued to walk, encountering waves of ambushes, assassinations, long-range attacks every 50 to 100 meters, as well as passersby suddenly drawing knives intending to stab him.

But without exception, all of them were struck down by thunder from the sky and then trampled to death by Ye Xiu.

Everyone who saw ’Lei Xiaoming’ kill on the way stood still in shock, as if they were in a dream.

Meanwhile, Ye Xiu continued to ’stroll’, continuing to lure out one assassin after another, and then kill them.

One step, one kill!

This night was destined to shock the entire city and be recorded in the history of the Eternal Kingdom, provided the Eternal Kingdom still had a future.

However, as Ye Xiu killed more and more people, the news that Lei Xiaoming was not a loser spread with the wind, reaching more and more people.

The ’Lei Xiaoming’ who played a loser for 20 years stunned everyone at once!

"Grandfather, Lei Xiaoming has already fought his way through a street."

In the Zhuge Family, Zhuge Xiaoxiao stood by the telegraph, reporting each piece of information about Lei Xiaoming to the Zhuge Family Clan Leader Zhuge Qingfeng.

"I thought he had been a loser for 20 years and just awakened today, with no combat experience, so I only sent some assassins below the Second Realm War God to ambush him. I underestimated him."

Zhuge Qingfeng’s expression was somewhat embarrassed. Previously, he had confidently promised Gongsun Tai and Sha Lidong that they would hear news of Lei Xiaoming’s death by morning, but instead, Lei Xiaoming was alive, and the people trying to kill him were dead.

He asked, "How many have died at his hands now?"

"Eighteen, and he shows no sign of stopping, continuing to stroll through the streets!"

Zhuge Xiaoxiao’s expression was even uglier than before. The man who wrote her love letters and whom she saw as a disgrace and despised now seemed like a completely different person.

What?

Zhuge Qingfeng’s expression suddenly turned as dark as blood, and with overwhelming killing intent, he said:

"After suppressing for 20 years, suddenly awakening, Lei Xiaoming intends to use the Zhuge Family’s assassins to hone his combat experience; he wants to step over the corpses of the Zhuge Family’s assassins to let the whole city know that Lei Xiaoming is no longer a loser."

Zhuge Xiaoxiao said, "Lei Xiaoming is not only the person our Zhuge Family wants to kill; the Gongsun Family and the Sha Family also want him dead. We can’t be the only ones losing people tonight."

Zhuge Qingfeng nodded: "Contact the Gongsun Family and the Sha Family, let them send some people."

"Yes!" Zhuge Xiaoxiao immediately sent a telegram to the Gongsun Family and Sha Family.

...

Inside a luxurious mansion.

Kristina comfortably soaked in the bathtub, with a maid arranged by Lin Lei standing next to her.

"The Zhuge Family, the Gongsun Family, and the Sha Family all want Lei Xiaoming dead," Kristina said with a smile.

The maid said, "But none of the three families expected Lei Xiaoming to be so frenzied, going solo through a street, killing 18 assassins, and showing no sign of stopping."

Kristina sighed, "Humiliated, scorned, and ridiculed for 20 years; no one knows how much hatred and pressure Lei Xiaoming accumulated. Now that he’s suddenly awakened, he naturally wants to vent, and he wants to use the slaughter to tell the whole city he’s not a loser anymore. He’s aiming to make a stunning move."

"But he is breaking the law."

The maid said:

"The King just sent a telegram seeking your opinion on whether to stop Lei Xiaoming. If he continues killing, even if they are assassins, it’s trampling on the kingdom’s laws. Besides, the nation is in a crisis and needs manpower; those assassins should die on the battlefield, not at Lei Xiaoming’s hands."

Kristina was silent for a full five minutes before she spoke:

"A general’s success is built on the bones of ten thousand dead. Lei Xiaoming is a talent. Using the lives of a bunch of trash to hone his murderous character and build his reputation might even further his awakening. It’s worth it!"

Saying this, Kristina looked at the maid and commanded:

"Inform Lin Lei not to interfere with the three families killing Lei Xiaoming, and let him send experts to secretly protect Lei Xiaoming. If experts that Lei Xiaoming can’t handle are sent, those protecting him should intervene, but also make sure Lei Xiaoming never finds out someone’s protecting him."

The maid nodded: "Understood!"

...

Ye Xiu was killing with excitement!

He had self-studied psychology and understood the darkness of human nature.

He knew clearly that ’Lei Xiaoming’s’ actions now were entirely consistent with human nature. If Lei Xiaoming, suppressed for 20 years, awakened and did nothing, that would be abnormal.

Moreover!

He also wanted to use the slaughter to test ’Lei Xiaoming’s’ importance in Kristina’s heart and see where Kristina’s tolerance limit for ’Lei Xiaoming’ lay.

"Next, I’m heading to the food street, you guys get ready in advance."

After fighting his way through a street, Ye Xiu shouted, then leisurely headed towards the food street.

The Zhuge Family’s intelligence personnel were almost angered to death by ’Lei Xiaoming’s’ audacity and immediately reported it through the telegraph.

Upon learning, Zhuge Qingfeng angrily smashed the table and directly ordered assassins to wait in the food street, determined to kill ’Lei Xiaoming’.

"Even more audacious than Ye Xiu, even better at pretending, what a talent!"

Upon hearing what ’Lei Xiaoming’ said, Kristina looked forward to it and said:

"Maybe I can cultivate Lei Xiaoming into Ye Xiu’s nemesis. Tsk tsk, I can’t wait."

...

On the way to the food street, Ye Xiu received the martial artist statistics from You Ming on King Island.

After reading it, Ye Xiu took a deep breath, and his expression became unprecedentedly serious.
