Chapter 417 - Defeat.
While Lisa was running back to their hideout in the abandoned house of a building. Yang Dao had brought Kiya to the top of the building where Mika was lying on her back. He had her hands and legs bound in the concrete of the floor. He was not too rash, just enough to hold her in place.
Yang Dao placed Kiya next to Mika. He said, “I know you all have mastered that trick to get up quickly. So, better not play dead on me.”
His eyes were still scanning the surroundings. The reason he took out these two first was that he want to dedicate complete attention to Lisa. That girl had more than one card up her sleeve. She had better and longer training than these two. Her voice could hypnotize the targetted person.
The first thing he did was to cast a sound isolation barrier around his ears. The barriers can not be sensed by anyone. Amber spoke in his mind, “Master, should I act?”
Yang Dao refused, “Let me handle this on my own.” he wanted to see, what was the extent of these three. The two girls in front of him were good. Mika was just like a new flame, and she was getting used to the temper and steadiness of a fire.
Kiya had panicked a little before but she had displayed calmness of the earth when Yang Dao morphed out of the ground. Her first reaction was to take a step back and pick up her gun. What happened next was not expected by Yang Dao. She took a shot at his head.
Thanks to his fast reflex and observation, he cast a wind wall in front of him. Then he snatched her gun with a quick grab and chop. That was the moment when Lisa contacted her, she instinctively wanted to answer but when she saw the sunny smile on Yang Dao’s face, the girl fell in a daze.
Hearing what he said just now, the two woke up and Yang Dao sat in front of them. His gaze did not have many emotions. Mika asked Kiya in a low voice, “Do you think, sister Lisa can take him on?”
Kiya gazed at the boy and shrugged her shoulders. She did not say much and just shook her head. She recalled the level of Yang Dao’s strength was already on par with the military instructors when they were in freshmen year, so how can Lisa take him on after two years?
Mika opened her eyes wide, after their missions together she had come to worship Lisa for her skills. Yet, Kiya so easily said that Lisa will lose. She did not believe it. Suddenly, she saw Yang Dao taking out a bow from out of nowhere.
Her eyes were open wide, brimming with disbelief. Yang Dao stretched the bowstring into a full moon as he aimed in a seemingly random direction. There was no arrow on the bow yet. The boy exhaled and let go of the bowstring.
ZHENG…
Accompanied by the vibration of the bowstring, a wind storm started. The girls could only squint their eyes as their hair fluttered against the strong winds. The people in the city did not know why the wind suddenly picked up the pace. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
In such a strong wind, anyone will stop but not an assassin. Lisa was a trained assassin, she did not think this storm was set off by Yang Dao. The boy did not bend the wind with his source energy because he was smarter. Lisa would be able to sense the disturbance in source energy. The bow was strong enough to set off a strong wind that was no less than a storm.
He mumbled, “Now, show yourself.”
His eyes turned into dao eyes. The stormy wind became a river of light, and the objects in the landscape became dark stones. What he was looking for was a pebble, moving in the wind. And surely, he found this pebble. As soon as he found it he snapped his fingers and the storm vanished. He turned around with his gaze focused on the door leading to the terrace.
He said, “You can come out. I will not say again, Lisa.”
Lisa walked out from behind the darkness of the door. She asked, “Shall we fight master?”
Yang Dao nodded and said, “Very well.” and with a welcoming gesture, he asked her to come to the center of the terrace.
Lisa walked over, holding a dagger and a gun in her hand. She said, “Master, your hair, looks very good.”
Yang Dao smiled and said, “These, well sister Yun gave them to me.”
This compliment from Lisa was actually to test the mental state of the boy in front of her. However, she did not expect him to reply like this. She went into a daze for a second, and Yang Dao moved against her. He would never give a chance to his enemy.
The reason he was able to talk unfretted with Lisa was that he used lip-reading and not ears. His speed was so fast that Lisa immediately became flustered. She avoided the first blow but the next second a strong gust pushed her to Yang Dao.
Before she could even have the time to react, a punch landed on her abdomen. Making her empty out her lungs. She took a couple of steps back. She was not expecting Yang Dao to use elements in such a manner.
She did not lose hope but agitated the water source energy in the surroundings to cast a fog around themselves. This way she concealed herself from Yang Dao. The Dao child had yet to learn the water element. However, he could still use his dao eyes. That is what he did at that moment.
In such situations, the people all guard their backs, and sides subconsciously. This makes their frontal defense weak. Lisa attacked Yang Dao with no intent in her heart. Normally, the boy would have been unable to sense her, and he had also blocked all sounds from reaching him. However, he could see everything as clear as crystal.
Lisa did not attack him but she was going to help her friends. They have a better chance at winning this together, but Yang Dao did not want them to win. So he bent the concrete on the floor to immobilize the three of them in one place.
He said in a soft voice, “You lose.”
