Chen Hao
Chapter 117 The Devil's Lair
When Li Tianran reappeared in the hall, he was carrying two urns, and Chen Ping was nowhere to be seen.
The Golden Lotus woman tensed up at the sight.
This was not a good omen!
But she still forced herself to remain calm, looking at Li Tianran and enduring the pain in her wrist as she said, "Alright! Now you've got what you wanted, you can leave, right?"
"I'm not done yet." Li Tianran slowly placed the two urns on the table, and with his other hand, he dragged his Tang blade towards the Golden Lotus woman. "I was still hesitating whether to kill you, this cult leader, but thanks to what you've done, I've made up my mind."
"..." The Golden Lotus woman raised her eyebrows and shrieked, "You want to kill me? Do you dare kill me?"
Her voice was sharp and severe!
But the more she acted like this, the more it showed her inner fear!
"For someone like you, letting you die quickly is a kindness. I really want to use some of the cruel punishments from the feudal dynasties on you, to let you experience what it's like to be sliced into a thousand pieces," Li Tianran said expressionlessly, dragging his knife as he walked, like a ferocious tiger baring its fangs, ready to tear open its prey's throat.
"Why do you want to kill me? Just for the things in the warehouse?" the Golden Lotus woman screamed. "You're just an ordinary person! Not even the military or police! Wouldn't it be better for you to take the money and leave?"
"This is a huge industrial chain, do you think it's over just because you kill me?"
"The current world's changes have made many important figures despair for the future. They rely on my supplies to relax and relieve stress! If I die, they won't let you go!" The Golden Lotus woman was truly frightened, retreating backward. "What do they have to do with you? Is it worth taking such a risk?"
"They really have nothing to do with me, and it's none of my business what evil you do..." Li Tianran nodded upon hearing this, pausing slightly and tilting his head to ask, "But I just want to mess with you, do you have a problem with that?"
The Golden Lotus woman turned and ran, staggering towards the outside of the church.
"Protect the Heavenly Head!"
"Protect our Lord!"
The group of believers actually went crazy again, trying to stand between the Golden Lotus woman and Li Tianran.
The Hummingbird-class battle warrior launched an attack without hesitation, and immediately seven or eight people exploded with blood mist, falling straight to the ground.
*Pa!*
Li Tianran grabbed the Golden Lotus woman's hair, dragged her to the very center of the hall, and kicked the back of her knee, causing her to kneel heavily on the ground with a *thud*!
The cold blade rested on the Golden Lotus woman's neck. Li Tianran stepped on her head and asked, "One last question, how did you kidnap these girls?"
"It's... it's the believers... I brainwashed the believers and made them work for me, because the believers are all women and old people, which makes people have very low vigilance against them... With ether, it's easy to knock people unconscious..." The Golden Lotus woman's teeth were chattering nonstop, her whole body trembling like a sieve, and a warm liquid flowed from her lower body!
"Very good!" Li Tianran swept his gaze around the believers standing around, and coldly sneered, "You are all murderers!"
The believers were forced into the corner by the Hummingbird-class battle warrior, no longer daring to move, but even so, they looked at the Golden Lotus woman being trampled under Li Tianran's feet, still filled with grief and indignation, wanting to rush up to rescue her.
They had been thoroughly brainwashed, completely becoming this woman's puppets!
"Don't you treat her as a god? Don't you treat her as a spiritual leader? Today, I'll show you... what it means to be a god-slayer!"
Li Tianran roared and slashed down with his blade!
"Stop!"
Just then, a gunshot rang out from outside the church, accompanied by a clear shout!
Li Tianran only felt as if the Tang blade in his hand had struck something, bouncing back with a *clang*. A violent vibration came from the blade, causing him to take two steps back, his eyes warily looking towards the door!
Was it the other party's helper?
But the next second, a dozen uniformed military police officers rushed in, holding firearms and aiming at everyone in the hall, and the two leading figures were Yuan Wen and Yuan Yi!
At this time, Yuan Yi's gun barrel was still slightly smoking, and his poker-faced face had no emotional fluctuations, but he was staring at Li Tianran, as frightening as a zombie!
"Li Tianran, put down the knife!" Yuan Wen took a few steps forward, standing two meters in front of Li Tianran, the dark muzzle of the gun aimed at Li Tianran's heart, and sternly shouted.
The situation in the field changed again.
It was as if a tiger was about to slaughter among a flock of sheep, but a lion had broken in again.
The Golden Lotus woman, who was being trampled under Li Tianran's feet, seemed to see a savior after seeing the military police, struggling desperately, "Save me! This person wants to kill me! Hurry up and shoot him dead! Hurry!"
*Bang!*
Li Tianran stomped on her shoulder, making a cracking sound of bone fracture. She screamed miserably, rolling on the ground in pain!
"Li Tianran, you're crazy!" Yuan Wen's eyebrows stood on end, and her delicate face changed color due to anger. "Put down the knife immediately! Otherwise, I'll shoot!"
Li Tianran suddenly laughed, his smile looking very complicated. He raised his head and looked at Yuan Wen, saying, "You want me to put down the knife, do you know who I want to kill? Do you know why I want to kill her? Do you know who the real villain is?"
"Your gun should not be aimed at me, but at her!" Li Tianran roared, pointing at the Golden Lotus woman rolling on the ground.
"Even if she stole your parents' ashes... you can't take the law into your own hands!" Yuan Wen said in a deep voice.
"Ashes?" Li Tianran sneered, pointing to the location of the warehouse, "You'd better have someone go and take a look there, and after understanding the whole story, come back and discuss with me who is right and who is wrong!"
Seeing this, Yuan Wen gave a look to the dark-faced military police officer, who nodded and ran over quickly.
In fact, Yuan Wen also felt that something was wrong.
In the middle of the night, there were so many people in an abandoned church, it was really strange.
Soon, the dark-faced military police officer ran back, his face mixed with the same anger and fury as Li Tianran's face. He whispered a few words in Yuan Wen and Yuan Yi's ears, and the pupils of the two also shrank, and a look of incomparable shock appeared on their faces.
"Those missing girls, are they all there?" Yuan Wen asked in a trembling voice.
"The specifics are not clear, but I roughly checked, there are probably more than eighty people... Several of them are victims who were reported missing before!" the dark-faced military police officer said in a deep voice.
Yuan Wen felt a burst of dizziness in her head.
Where was this a sacred church?
This was a demon's lair!
