Supreme Alchemist-Chapter 2469 - 2459: Almost Got Tricked

Everyone present was dumbfounded by Long Yan’s smile, but the black-clothed squad leader reacted more quickly, looking at Long Yan and asked.

"I wonder what great ideas the young hero might have?"

Now everyone was like grasshoppers tied to the same rope; if one died, everyone would certainly die together. They wanted to survive, and their only hope was to rely on Long Yan. Therefore, despite the current situation, the black-clothed squad leader had to brace himself and inquire of Long Yan. Not to mention the predicament they were in, whether it was the ghost demon outside the door or Zhao Wuhun, who was continuously reassembling inside the room, any one of them could easily take all their lives alone.

But now, Long Yan wasn’t panicked at all. His plan still carried some risks. He turned around, pointing to the door behind them with his finger.

"You should enter the courtyard first. I’ll be right behind you."

With that, Long Yan unlocked his Ice Domain. The fragments on the ground kept coming together, and the speed was surprisingly much faster. The knocking on the door also began to gradually become more urgent, and now a significant crevice had already appeared on the wooden door.

Everyone was bewildered by Long Yan’s actions. If those things from both sides converged, these people would surely be doomed.

But now, their lives were in Long Yan’s hands. The black-clothed squad leader gritted his teeth fiercely and led the charge toward the courtyard. Rat 2 hurriedly stood up from the ground and headed for the courtyard. Just before entering, Rat 2 glanced back at Long Yan, only to see Long Yan gesturing to reassure him.

Rat 2, being cautious, wedged a piece of withered wood in the door crevice. These black-clothed people originally intended to kill both Long Yan and himself, so he had to be cautious.

Long Yan, of course, noticed Rat 2’s little maneuver, chuckling lightly. Being more prepared naturally had no downsides.

Because of Rat 2’s carefulness, no one except Long Yan saw what he did clearly. The courtyard had already fallen into disrepair. There was usually only Rat 2 in this inn, and it rarely had any guests. Were it not for the landlady’s kindness, Rat 2 might have returned to the mountains long ago, so the courtyard was usually left untended.

"Do you think that person can manage it?"

Seemingly unwilling to be with the Demon Race, the group of black-clothed people stayed far from Rat 2, huddling together.

The black-clothed squad leader merely let out a cold snort upon hearing his subordinate, a cold smile appearing beneath his mask as he spoke.

"Let it be, whether he can hold out or not. If not, just help delay them a bit for me."

As he spoke, a cold light flashed in the black-clothed squad leader’s eyes. In such a person, the concept of benevolence and righteousness was simply nonexistent. Even those who had once saved them were betrayed without hesitation.

Rat 2 was definitely used to being marginalized. But Rat 2 merely squatted close to the door, watching the black-clothed people laugh and talk among themselves with cold eyes, not saying a word.

In the Demon Race, promises and loyalty were of utmost importance. Indeed, enemies may fight, but if the other had once saved them, one would certainly spare them the next time. This was an implicit rule among the Demon Race.

But the people in front of him weren’t even on the level of the Demon Race, which was somewhat ironic.

Although he appeared to reassure Rat 2, Long Yan was still somewhat tense inside. The speed at which Zhao Wuhun was reassembling and the speed at which the ghost demon was knocking on the door were beyond Long Yan’s expectations. In just a short while, Zhao Wuhun’s body was already mostly reassembled, and even that wooden door was about to be smashed apart by the ghost demon.

Some might ask how a ghost demon could be so powerful yet unable to break through a mere door. It was because the ghost demon had no consciousness, only driven by a fearsome urge to kill all living organisms in sight. It had no intelligence, simply maintaining its habits from its ghostly days, persisting until the door in front was smashed to pieces.

Long Yan dared not take his eyes off the wooden door, not even with the corner of his eye. Instead, he continuously watched Zhao Wuhun reforming on the ground. Finally, the wooden door couldn’t withstand the turmoil any longer and shattered into countless small fragments, falling to the ground, and Long Yan could see Zhao Wuhun on the ground nearly reassembled.

The reason he stayed here was to appropriately slow Zhao Wuhun on the ground. After all, Zhao Wuhun was too fast, and finding the perfect timing would not be simple.

Seeing the wooden door transform into innumerable fragments, Long Yan quickly spun around. A white light shot into the fragments on the ground, and then he propelled himself swiftly toward the rear gate.

The people in the courtyard were all surprised, clearly hearing the sound of the wooden door shattering outside. One of the underlings looked anxiously at his squad leader and asked.

"Captain, what should we do now?"

Seeing the wooden door already in pieces, but Long Yan running towards the gate behind them, it was clear he intended to enter the backyard. Peering slightly through the crack of the door, seeing the red-clad woman was enough to frighten any black-clothed man.

"Why not go all out and let that kid hold them off for the grandpas for a while."

A cold light flashed in the small team leader’s eyes as he stood up and charged toward the gate. Rat 2, still squatting on the ground, stood up and blocked the small team leader’s path.

"What do you intend to do?"

Rat 2 spoke in the coldest voice of his life, staring at the small team leader in front of him. The latter merely sneered, trying to bypass Rat 2 to close the door, showing no regard for the Demon Race at all, merely wanting to trap Long Yan outside.

Seeing the small team leader ignore him, Rat 2 clenched his teeth and blocked the small team leader’s path.

"Get out of the way!"

The small team leader said coldly, but he met Rat 2’s resolute gaze. Feeling somewhat impatient, he drew the long knife from his waist, intimidating Rat 2 to move aside.

However, Rat 2 closed his eyes, like resigning to fate, but his entire body remained motionless, clearly demonstrating his stance.

"Fine, I’ll send you on your way first."

The small team leader’s gaze turned fierce, and he swung his long knife toward Rat 2’s head. If it hit solidly, Rat 2 would be cleaved in half.

"Stop!"

A firm shout rang out, and the small team leader found his long knife caught suspended in mid-air by something, unable to move at all.

Looking up, he saw that his long knife was blocked by Long Yan’s in-hand Magic Gun, completely immobilized. Long Yan’s eyes were full of rage, making the small team leader at a loss. Not to mention whether Long Yan’s strength was something the small team leader could contend with, the main issue was guilty conscience in the small team leader’s heart.

"Young hero, I..."

Before the black-clothed squad leader could finish speaking, Long Yan opened his mouth and spat out a word.

"Scram."

Long Yan hadn’t expected that his momentary compassion almost caused Rat 2 to die. Though he was angry, the more pressing matter now wasn’t the group of black-clothed people but rather the two behind the door.

If Rat 2 hadn’t kept the door open, Long Yan would certainly not have had the time to enter.

"Open the door!"
