Bai Xi’s words made Zhao Kai frown, his eyes sharpening slightly, “I thought you were a sensible person, but I didn’t expect you to be so foolish.”
He had revealed his connection to the dark department as a threat, and even offered friendship, implying he could bring her into the dark department if the opportunity arose. Yet, he hadn’t expected this woman to be so unappreciative.
Since that was the case, he wouldn’t be polite anymore.
With that thought, a hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes.
Zhao Minghan, hanging from the coconut tree, watched the scene unfold with immense excitement in his heart.
“Excellent, Uncle is finally making his move! Uncle will surely kill this bitch who dared to humiliate and hurt him!”
He spat out the wooden block in his mouth and shouted with all his might, “Uncle, kill her! Kill this bitch!”
As he spoke, Zhao Kai finally moved.
He spread his hands, transforming them into palms, with faint air currents surging between them. After a spin, he was about to attack Bai Xi.
Bai Xi retreated, evading the attack.
The palm wind, with its surging air currents, possessed a sharpness akin to a blade. It directly slashed towards a coconut tree behind her, leaving a deep gash as if it had been struck by a knife.
Bai Xi raised her eyebrows slightly.
Without a doubt, Zhao Kai cultivated Qigong.
Everyone’s martial power originated from their own bodies.
However, the combat power that an ordinary body could generate was quite limited. But once the limits of the human body were broken, other powers would emerge. This combat power stemmed from the fighter’s continuous challenges and tempering of themselves.
In the dark department, the vast majority of junior commanders had broken through their physical limitations, achieving things ordinary people could not.
The higher the level, the stronger the power.
The mercenary leader from before had just broken through his physical limits. Since he had only just reached that point, his muscles would undergo instantaneous changes when he used power exceeding his own.
As for Zhao Kai, being an intermediate commander in the dark department, he was naturally much stronger. If this condensation of qi into form were cultivated to its extreme, it could indeed achieve some level of accomplishment.
What a shame.
Someone who was not worthy of his position should not remain in the dark department.
Seeing his attack miss, Zhao Kai directly changed direction and launched a second assault.
This time, however, Bai Xi did not dodge.
Seeing her remain still, Zhao Kai frowned slightly, “Are you choosing death because you believe you are powerless to resist? If so, I shall grant your wish.”
With that, he channeled all the qi in his body into his palm strike and viciously slashed towards Bai Xi.
Just as Zhao Minghan expected to see his uncle cut Bai Xi in half the next second, his eyes filled with extreme excitement.
Everything turned around in an instant.
In the final second before Zhao Kai’s palm strike was about to hit Bai Xi, in the final second when he thought Bai Xi was about to die by his hand.
Bai Xi leaped up, landing steadily on the back of his hand. Her body was as light as if it had no weight. Looking down from above, she said, “You must remember, this path was chosen by you and your nephew!”
At this moment, Zhao Kai finally felt a surge of fear.
But before he could react, Bai Xi kicked him fiercely in the head.
The immense force made Zhao Kai instinctively channel qi in his body to block, but even so, that kick sent him flying far away.
He landed directly beside the swimming pool, his face instantly bruised and swollen, a mouthful of blood gushing from his mouth. “Who exactly are you?”
As he spoke, a faint voice replied, “Allow me to tell you that answer.”
Not far away, Shen Mingxun walked over, also wearing the exclusive attire of an intermediate commander of the dark department. Upon seeing Bai Xi, he bowed respectfully, “Eldest Miss.”
Bai Shen had instructed that her identity should not be revealed to outsiders.
“Uncle, what’s wrong? It’s Minghan, your nephew.”
Zhao Kai’s face showed a hint of sadness. He knew very well who Zhao Minghan truly was, but he had indulged him out of misplaced protection.
Perhaps it was this protection that cultivated his lawless behavior: “It is my fault. I indulged you, harming you, and also harming the entire Bai family.”
In this moment, he finally understood what Bai Xi had meant earlier.
It was never the God of War who threatened their lives, but… Minghan and his choices.
Zhao Minghan had no idea what Zhao Kai was saying. Just as he was about to ask, he saw Zhao Kai suddenly raise his hand. A sharp stream of qi sliced across his neck, as keen as a blade but leaving no trace.
He wanted to speak, but could no longer utter a sound. Blood surged upwards, gushing from his mouth. He widened his eyes, slowly dying in disbelief.
