Chapter 740: Chapter 447: Ruthlessly Destroying a Flower

"This is bad!!!"

When Wang Hao heard the cold voice by his ear, he knew he was in trouble. The hairs on his body stood on end as he instinctively raised his right arm and threw a desperate punch to his side.

"SMACK."

The punch he had thrown with all his might was caught with ease. A moment later, Wang Hao felt a heavy blow land on his abdomen.

His feet left the ground, and his entire body was sent flying backward like a cannonball, smashing into the wall of the distant, abandoned factory.

"BOOM."

The force of the blow was staggering. Wang Hao’s body had smashed a human-shaped crater into the factory wall.

"Aaaargh..."

A bloodcurdling scream rang out, echoing through the abandoned factory.

Judging from the scream, Lin Li’s blow had worsened Wang Hao’s injuries, inflicting a pain even more unbearable than before.

The bright moonlight streamed through a shattered corner of a window, casting some light into the dark interior of the lumber mill.

"Gah..."

Lying on the ground where he had landed, Wang Hao coughed up mouthfuls of blood.

His chest and abdomen were crushed, and he had suffered severe internal injuries.

If left untreated, the delay would have irreversible consequences.

’But in a situation like this, who could possibly treat him?’

"STEP, STEP, STEP..."

Footsteps echoed in the dim factory. In the empty, silent space, the sound was unnervingly distinct.

Still spitting up blood, Wang Hao lay on the cold ground, his heart filling with terror as he stared up at Lin Li. The man exuded a frightening aura that made his skin crawl.

"I’m sorry, I was wrong..."

"Don’t, don’t kill me..."

"Spare me! I’ll never come back to this city again..."

With a cold, expressionless face, Lin Li watched his enemy beg for mercy while spitting up blood. He remained completely unmoved.

"You’re an adult. You made a mistake, and now you have to pay the price. Besides, you were the one who tried to kill me first."

Lin Li spoke to his wailing, miserable enemy in a tone devoid of all emotion.

Then, a Spiritual Light flickered in his hand, and a ball of fire burst to life.

"I... I’ll take you down with me!!!"

When Wang Hao saw that begging wouldn’t soften Lin Li or make him spare his life, he gritted his teeth. Enduring the searing pain, he pushed himself up with his right hand and staggered to his feet. With a great roar, he charged at Lin Li.

"Hmph." Lin Li watched his enemy rush him like a moth to a flame. He raised his right hand, clenched it into a fist, and the fire that had erupted in his palm swiftly engulfed it.

Wang Hao was no match for Lin Li even at his peak, let alone now, when he was so grievously wounded.

"THUMP."

A torrent of scorching flame pierced through his body, erupting several meters out his back before dissipating. The searing heatwave raised the factory’s temperature by several degrees.

Wang Hao looked down at his chest and saw a scorched, gaping hole where his heart had been.

He looked up at the impassive, formidable enemy before him, his eyes filled with regret. ’If only I hadn’t been so obsessed with avenging Liu Menglong!’

But what was done, was done.

The Spiritual Energy fluctuating around his body rapidly dissipated, and the light faded from his eyes.

Lin Li raised his right hand and tapped Wang Hao’s forehead with his index finger.

The deceased Wang Hao immediately fell backward onto the ground. Blood gushed from the charred cavity in his chest, and within moments, it formed a small pool beneath him.

Lin Li gazed at the enemy he had just killed. After a few seconds of thought, he raised his hands and drew upon the Spiritual Energy within his Dantian.

A faint golden Spiritual Light bloomed between his hands. In just a few seconds, a massive Fireball, two meters in diameter, coalesced.

At Lin Li’s mental command, the Fireball shot forward and landed on Wang Hao’s corpse, engulfing it completely.

He turned and walked away, giving the roaring inferno behind him no further thought.

Exiting the abandoned factory, Lin Li strode quickly toward the burlap sack in the distance.

He untied the rope on the sack. Su Yue appeared before him, her lovely face serene, her eyes shut tight. She was as still as a sleeping beauty.

"Su Yue, wake up..."

Lin Li called her name a few times, but Su Yue showed no sign of waking.

He frowned and gave her a quick examination. He found no wounds, and her life wasn’t in danger.

’She’s still unconscious, but at least she’s unharmed and her life isn’t in danger. That’s what matters.’

’Could it be that the drug hasn’t worn off yet?’ Lin Li assumed she had been drugged and would wake up once it wore off.

Then, he supported her back with one arm and slid the other under her knees. With a slight effort, he easily lifted the unconscious Su Yue into his arms in a princess carry.

"STEP, STEP, STEP..."

Faint footsteps echoed in the deserted lumber mill as Lin Li carried the unconscious Su Yue, his figure shrinking into the distance until he vanished completely.

"VROOM..."

Faintly, the sound of a car engine starting could be heard in the distance. The sound soon faded away.

The bright moon hung in the sky, bathing the earth in its glow. With the recent battle concluded, the abandoned lumber mill—a place few ever visited—returned to its usual silence.

"WHOOSH..."
