Myth Beyond Heaven

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Amidst intense gunfires, Lei Hao was leaning against the wall while peeking at the corridor path behind him and made a few shots from time to time. 

Before this, he and Tu Feng were headed toward the central lab, but they didn't expect an unidentified force to jump out of nowhere and greet them with bullets. These people were far stronger and more disciplined than the Hell Church's men. It could be seen they weren't simply an ordinary mercenary group.

"Who the hell are these people?" Lei Hao cursed angrily while reloading.

Tu Feng, who was leaning against the wall opposite Lei Hao, quickly made a shot and drew himself back before saying. "They are certainly soldiers. Should be a country's special force."

"Special force? Why are they helping the Hell Church?" Lei Hao frowned slightly. He quickly contacted Yun Lintian but found out the connection had been interrupted.

"Damn it!" Lei Hao was frustrated. Especially when he thought of Xiao Kai. If he was still alive, breaking this situation shouldn't be a problem.

Just as Lei Hao was thinking about how to contact Yun Lintian. He suddenly saw three grenades sliding along the floor and arriving between Tu Feng and him. 

"Watch out!" Lei Hao shouted and flexibly leaped away from the grenades. Meanwhile, Tu Feng was also the same.

Boom!

The corridor shook violently, sending numerous debris flying in all directions.

Lei Hao groaned in pain and quickly stood up, aiming his gun at the intersection. He believed the enemy would follow suit after using the grenades. 

It was as his expectation a few figures fully equipped with professional battle suits emerged from the smoke, pointing the aiming lasers around.

Lei Hao reacted in almost an instant. He pulled the trigger before the enemy could see him.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Rain of bullets swarmed toward the group of ten men, directly hitting on their bodies, completely breaking their formation.

On the other side, Tu Feng wasn't slow either. He raised the machine gun in his hand and fired at the enemy without reservation.

This wave of attack from Lei Hao and Tu Feng instantly reaped four opponents' lives and forced the remaining people to retreat.

Just like Yun Lintian and Xia Yao, the tacit understanding between Lei Hao and Tu Feng had reached an unprecedented high. They didn't let this chance go and swiftly pursued the enemy. A while later, they managed to finish them off while having some injuries in return.

Lei Hao looked at the wound on his arm with a frown expression and simply wrapped it with a bandage. On the side, Tu Feng squatted down and took the mask of the lifeless body in front of him off.

"He's Chinese." Tu Feng said with a surprise.

Lei Hao took a glance at the body and then took all the masks of the remaining bodies off. Surprisingly, these people were all Chinese.

"Dragon Soul team?" After scrutinizing these bodies for a while, Lei Hao suddenly discovered a dragon tattoo on the back of their necks. He clearly remembered this tattoo belonged to the Dragon Soul team… Why did they appear here and attack us?

Lei Hao and Tu Feng exchanged a glance, and they could see a solemness in each other eyes. This matter was more severe than they had imagined. Perhaps this Dragon Soul team was also involved in Xiao Kai's death.

"We should find Boss first." Lei Hao made a decision. He didn't dare to move forward anymore.

"Ah'Hao. Ah'Feng! Thankfully, you two are safe." Yun Lintian was relieved as soon as he saw Lei Hao and Tu Feng were safe and sound.

"Boss!" Lei Hao and Tu Feng greeted in unison.

It was at this moment that Yun Lintian noticed the bodies on the ground. A frown appeared on his face as he asked. "Dragon Soul team? Why did you kill them?"

Lei Hao shrugged. "They started first."

"Is it a misunderstanding?" Yun Lintian looked at Lei Hao weirdly. Although the Cloud Shadow team was a mercenary group with no faction, they would always avoid their fellow countrymen all the time. If possible, they wouldn't get into a conflict with them. Yun Lintian believed they should have no intention of attacking his team. That was why he asked this naive question.

Tu Feng spoke first. "It's impossible to be a misunderstanding, Boss. I believe they know our identity."

Lei Hao added in an agreed manner. "Yes, Boss. I could see they were obviously waiting for us here. It's like they are monitoring our movement."

Xia Yao, who was silent from the beginning, suddenly said. "It depends on their leader. There's one person who hates us."

Yun Lintian, Lei Hao, and Tu Feng looked at Xia Yao in puzzlement.

Xia Yao glanced at Yun Lintian and said. "Zhu Ding, the deputy leader of the Dragon Soul team. The sole heir of the Beijing's Zhu family."

Yun Lintian suddenly remembered something. He asked uncertainly. "You are telling me that…."

Xia Yao snorted coldly. "Hmph! Of course, it's all about that woman surnamed Yang. Everyone knows that she's Zhu Ding's target."

Yun Lintian had an incredulous expression. "Just because of this? I have nothing to do with her at all."

Xia Yao pursed her lips. "Didn't you often read a novel? This Zhu Ding is like those stupid young masters in the novels."

Yun Lintian's face gradually turned cold. He had never bothered with this Zhu Ding before, yet this person actually did this.

Lei Hao hesitated for a moment and said. "Boss, I don't know if I should say this… But I believe they have something to do with Ah'Kai's death."

Yun Lintian beckoned with his chin, telling Lei Hao to go on.

Lei Hao thought for a moment and said. "We all know Ah'Kai's ability. I always doubt whether he really makes a mistake. First, the Hell Church seems to know our movement all the time. I don't believe Reaper could prepare this multi-layered trap within a short time. After all, he just arrived here this morning."

"Secondly, even if Reaper had arranged someone to deal with Ah'Kai, I don't believe he would get killed this easily.. There must be an unknown factor we aren't aware of… and that factor might be this Dragon Soul team."
