<h4>Chapter 1605: Chapter 1598: The Situation Is Grim</h4>


    "The entire second team of the American Superhero Team is here, and four people from the Holy Mountain Sect have arrived. As for the Shankou Family you mentioned, I have no idea if they areing to China this time, nor do I know where they are," Avril said with an icy expression.


    The dignified Holy Daughter of the Holy See was now held in the arms of a man and being threatened by him, making Avril feel like she could explode from rage, yet she was helpless. From the earlier encounter, Avril clearly understood that Lu Tianxing could kill her effortlessly. In Lu Tianxing’s hands, she was just a puppet on strings, with no ability to resist.


    If she had known how terrifying Lu Tianxing was, she wouldn’t havee to test his strength alone but would have brought Red Cardinal Charles with her.


    "Who did they bring? What are their strengths?"


    "The American Superhero Team’s second team has a total of fifty members, with strengths ranging from the Heavenly Realm to the Mythical Realm. The captain, Dio, is at the Mythical Middle Stage Peak Realm, a petrification superpower user, and the vice-captain, Ryan, is also at the Mythical Middle Stage Peak Realm, a water element superpower user. The Holy Mountain Sect brought four people: the Ice Goddess, Beauty God, God of the Sea, and Earth God, all of whom are at the Mythical Middle Stage. However, rumors outside say that the God of the Sea, Poseidon, seems to have broken through to the Late Stage of Mythical, but nobody knows for sure...."


    Listening to Avril’s words, Lu Tianxing’s eyebrows furrowed. This indeed was a very troublesome problem. He wasn’t too concerned about the people from the American Superhero Team’s second team, but the people from the Holy Mountain were the issue—three mid-stage Mythical superpower users and one possiblyte-stage Mythical superpower user. This was absolutely a very tricky situation for Lu Tianxing, not to mention that the Shankou Family was lurking around.


    Taking a deep breath, Lu Tianxing looked at Avril and spoke again: "Do you know where the Holy Mountain and the American Superhero Team are hiding now?"


    "I don’t know."


    "You don’t know?"


    Upon hearing Avril’s response, Lu Tianxing frowned and said coldly, "Avril, I advise you not to test my patience. Don’t even think about deceiving me, or the consequences won’t be something you can handle."


    "I have no reason to deceive you. I only know they are in China, but I have no idea where they’re hiding. If it were you, would you tell your whereabouts to an ally who could turn against you at any moment?" Avril replied coldly.


    Hearing Avril’s words, Lu Tianxing pondered for a moment before ultimately choosing to believe her.


    Avril wasn’t wrong. For any major power, even when cooperating with others, they’re likely to keep cards up their sleeves to prevent backstabbing. The American Superhero Team and the Holy Mountain people would definitely cooperate with the Church but would never reveal their whereabouts. After all, they are merely temporary allies and could fall out at any moment. Revealing one’s hiding ce to the other is akin to courting death.


    "I’ve told you everything I know. Can you let me go now?" Avril asked Lu Tianxing solemnly.


    Without any hesitation, Lu Tianxing pushed Avril away from his embrace.


    Upon leaving Lu Tianxing’s arms, Avril took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to tear him to pieces, and said coldly, "Judge, I’ll be honest with you, this time you’re dead for sure. Even if you have immense abilities, you won’t be able to escape, and your only end is death."


    "A dead end?"


    A yful smile shed across Lu Tianxing’s face: "The Night Wolf Mercenary Corps and my enemies once told me the same, but look at me, I’m still living well. What can you do to me?"


    Though his tone carried an air of indifference, in his heart, Lu Tianxing was extremely serious, not daring to rx for a moment. If he let his guard down even slightly, the result might be exactly as Avril said, leaving him dead with no ce for burial.


    "I hope your mouth stays this tough when the timees, Judge. I hope you don’t die at their hands because I want to personally kill you," Avril said with an icy face.


    "Is that so? I’m looking forward to it."


    Lu Tianxing said calmly, "But next time you fall into my hands, things won’t be as simple as this time. I wouldn’t mind tasting the vor of the Holy Daughter of the Holy See again and seeing if your performance remains as enchanting asst time."


    "You...."


    Fury surged in Avril’s heart again as she stared daggers at Lu Tianxing: "Judge, I hope that by then your bones will be as tough as your mouth because I will dismantle every bone in your body, humph."


    With those words, Avril cast a cold nce at Lu Tianxing as if she wanted to imprint his shadow in her mind, let out a heavy cold snort, and then turned and walked away without any hesitation.


    Lu Tianxing watched Avril’s back, not saying anything more, instead lighting another cigarette for himself, his eyes indifferent as he watched Avril disappear from his sight.


    Although with his current strength, killing Avril would be as easy as pie, Lu Tianxing was very clear that while wanting to kill Avril is just a trivial task, the consequences would not be something he could bear, and it might even implicate the Lu Family and those around him, which is an oue he absolutely does not want to see.


    "Avril, American Superhero Team, Holy Mountain, this time I’ll y with you and see whoes out on top."


    Lu Tianxing looked in the direction where Avril disappeared, a trace of bloodthirsty killing intent shing in his eyes. He once again pulled out a cigarette, lit it, took a deep drag, turned and walked towards the street, nning to return to the hotel first and then make other ns.


    Just a few steps out, Lu Tianxing’s steps suddenly paused, his gaze swept behind him abruptly, and he said with an expression of speechlessness: "I say, your Yanhuang Group seems to be bing more and more backward, howe you’ve also learned these sneaky ways from others, I say Sima Lingyun, this doesn’t suit your style."


    "I heard Avril came to find you, so I came to have a look."


    As Lu Tianxing’s voice fell, a sword light broke through the sky, and a figure dressed in traditional Chinese attire appeared in front of Lu Tianxing, none other than Sima Lingyun, the head of the Yanhuang Group.


    "Your Yanhuang Group’s intelligence is quite well-informed, what, afraid I’ll kill Avril?" Lu Tianxing said with a light smile.


    "Of course."


    Sima Lingyun nodded directly, seemingly having not heard the sarcasm in Lu Tianxing’s words, and admitted: "Avril can die, but definitely not in China. If in China, you want to kill Avril, I will certainly intervene to stop you."


    "Don’t worry, I’m not a fool, I wouldn’t willingly create a terrible enemy for myself, the Church, it’s not yet the time to turn against them."


    Lu Tianxing took a deep breath and said slowly: "Sima Lingyun, you came here tonight, you weren’t just nning to say these words to me, were you?"


    "I don’t have that much idle time, I came this time to tell you, that the forces targeting you this time, not only the Church, but also the American Superhero Team and Holy Mountain have joined in. If you leave Beijing now, you might still make it."


    Hearing Sima Lingyun’s words, Lu Tianxing said coldly: "Leave? Sima Lingyun, do you think I can leave? If I leave, what about Zhiqing and them? Can you be sure these people won’t leave Beijing and go to Modu to deal with them? If I leave this time, do you n to let me leave again the next time I face them?"


    Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, a bitter smile shed across Sima Lingyun’s face. He knew it would be this kind of result: "But, the people you’re facing this time are not weak, if they join forces, you’re definitely in a nine-death situation."


    "Before I came here, I already had the n of facing a nine-death situation."


    Lu Tianxing’s gaze was deep as he watched the trickling water under the wooden bridge: "This time, I’m nning to bring Po Jun and them to Beijing."


    Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Sima Lingyun’s eyebrows suddenly furrowed. He is naturally very familiar with Po Jun and others, the top ten leaders of the Netherworld Mercenary Corps, who appeared in Jiangnan not long ago, and their strength has all entered the Mythical Realm.


    If these people enter Beijing, it will definitely make an already chaotic Beijing even more chaotic.


    This group of people is a bunch ofplete lunatics, if Lu Tianxing is alive, relying on Lu Tianxing’s ability, they can still be restrained, but once something happens to Lu Tianxing, this group of people might turn into a bunch of desperadoes, capable of doing anything crazy.


    But right now, the danger Lu Tianxing faces can’t be solved by just one or two people. If Po Jun and others enter Beijing, Lu Tianxing’s crisis will naturally be reduced a bit, but this group of people is uncontroble lunatics, they are a double-edged sword, with Lu Tianxing alive, everything is naturally peaceful, if something happens to Lu Tianxing, this group of guys will beplete lunatics, if they rampage in Beijing, the consequences are unbearable.


    So, for a moment Sima Lingyun fell into silence.


    He is very clear about Lu Tianxing’s situation, with wolves in the front, tigers in the back, everyone is coveting Lu Tianxing, Lu Tianxing absolutely cannot die, cannot die at the hands of the Church, but Po Jun and others are a double-edged sword, capable of harming both enemies and oneself, so Sima Lingyun is pondering in his heart whether to agree to Lu Tianxing’s words and let Po Jun and them into Beijing.


    Lu Tianxing didn’t speak, just smoked, his gaze looking at the dazzling night scene across, his eyes calm and unchanging, because he already knew what answer Sima Lingyun would choose in his heart, so he simply wasn’t in a hurry, just waiting for Sima Lingyun to speak.
