Chapter 1516: Enlightenment
Humans are indeed too unreasonable. Fortunately, these are not things she needs to worry about. Sistine cares about only one thing - the combat video.
After waiting for several hours, the analysis video was released in the afternoon. Once it was released, the download count broke through a hundred billion within minutes, almost collapsing the servers. Besides temporarily adding more equipment, the official event staff had no other countermeasures.
Listening to the commentators babbling on endlessly... it left Sistine baffled. These professional commentators were far from professional, rambling on without getting to the point.
But with a little thought, she understood. After all, at that level, even professionals don't dare to speak conclusively. Some things can't be understood without experience.
Entrusted by Mingfei, the Blade Warrior also did a meticulous edit of the video, cutting it again and again, only to end up with... what the hell is this!
Take Leisenboer for example, he didn't even make a move. Just with his aura, he almost shocked Xia Mu to death. Computers find it challenging to calculate precise values and can only focus on details when Xia Mu was blasted away, with significant deviations.
As for Feng Yi, that's even more shocking. This guy is like an old monster who's been single for hundreds of years, with lightning-fast reloading speed, making even a revolver shoot like a Gatling Cannon. On the other hand, Sistine's performance in this battle was steady and unremarkable, neither outstanding nor lacking, but Mingfei didn't care about Sistine at all.
Looking at the data delivered by the Blade Warrior, Mingfei sighed, "Are you confident facing them?"
The young woman's eyes bore a mysterious gaze, slightly lowering her eyelids, saying softly, "Judging by this, winning isn't too hard. The two are obviously hiding their abilities, their depths unknown. These matters need time to explore."
"Girl, I still don't know what realm you're in now..."
As Mingfei was speaking, a bullet flew from the shadows towards her, at such an angle and speed that it was nearly impossible to defend against. The young woman moved like a swimming dragon, turning quickly to push her aside.
This frightened Mingfei into a cold sweat. Without thinking further, the two swiftly flew through the window, only to face several gunshots following immediately.
The young woman didn't dodge again. She let out a soft hum, waving consecutive palm strikes, releasing a massive burst of Inner Strength that instantly deflected them...
"We meet again. You really have an enthusiastic spirit, Sir," she said, while already appearing silently behind the fleeing assassin, back turned toward him.
"You, you guys..." the assassin stood there, stunned and speechless, completely awestruck by her ghost-like movement!
The young woman slowly turned her delicate body, passed by him, and calmly said, "Last time I sealed your sight, I kindly let you go. Do you still wish to leave just like that?"
"Didn't expect to fall into your hands again, she got lucky." The man glanced viciously at Mingfei.
The young woman said coldly, "The winner takes all, the loser forfeits. Do you have nothing more to say?"
The assassin, knowing there was no escape, closed his eyes, "Do it then."
"In that case, I'll fulfill that wish for you."
The young woman followed her words with a heavy palm strike! Hearing the fierce gale of her palm, the man reflexively stepped back in defense...
"You're still afraid of death. Do you think dying is that simple, sir?"
The man felt something was off, stunned by her celestial beauty spewing words of threat, "What do you want?"
"Reveal your employer's identity, and I won't trouble you further. Of course, my methods of interrogation are plenty, depending on your attitude."
"Oh, it's like that, why not ask that woman,"
The man looked at Mingfei, slowly revealing the massacre that happened years ago, with undisguised hatred in his eyes! Even though the two countries were at odds back then, Mingfei should never have left him alive—he had a lot to say.
"So, you want revenge?"
"Yes."
"Anybody whose family was massacred would bear a grudge. I understand how you feel," the young woman's eyes flashed with a touch of compassion, saying, "During the time of war, each does it for their master. Holding on to hate, what difference does it make from taking fragments out of context?"
The man said nothing more.
She softly continued, "You just can't move beyond the past. The so-called sacrifice for justice, repeated failed assassinations — aren't you willing to let go of the hatred? I should kill you, but if I let you go now, will you retaliate again?"
"I will avenge!"
"To avenge, do you have that capability?"
"I..." The man fell silent again.
"If not, why not forget it and live as an ordinary person?"
"Just do it." The man seemed to have made a decision, closing his eyes again, perhaps this was true relief for him.
"An unrepentant guy, girl, if you can't do it, let me handle it."
With that, Mingfei leaped gracefully, bringing down her palm heavily on the man's head...
With a loud bang, blood splattered, yet instead of the man's death, it was Mingfei who found her left arm pierced by a bullet with unmatched destructive power...
"It's quite noisy here."
As the words fell, a figure appeared, and unexpectedly, it was Rafael, the revolver gun god, who saved the man at the critical moment.
Mingfei was astonished immensely. There were very few who could strike her down in one go when she was on guard. But when she saw Feng Yi, Mingfei was even more shocked!
Though her relationship with Feng Yi wasn't great, considering Mengdie's face, along with Feng Luo, Feng Wu, and even the Jade Clear Sect, she never thought he would strike her.
"You, how..."
"Heard a commotion inside the room, came over. There's no reason to just watch."
Mingfei frowned, "This is none of your business. Step aside now."
"What, want to tell me what to do? I'm just passing by—can't watch someone die though."
"You!"
Mingfei wanted to say let's stop the nonsense and fight, but truly couldn't; not to mention herself, even combined with the young woman, they wouldn't be a match for him. "Feng Yi, what do you really want to do, it was this man who attacked us first."
"Nonsense! If it weren't for your massacre first, how could I even think of killing you?"
Seeing Feng Yi, the man's eyes shone with hope, as if finding reliance. Though not on the same side, he believed Feng Yi would be fair. "Feng Yi, help me. I know you will. You must stand up for me."
"Sister Mingfei, why bother with him? Let's go, moreover you're injured."
"Young woman?"
However, the young woman just lightly shook her head towards her, signaling that Feng Yi could handle this, and in fact, she believed this was the real reason Feng Yi stepped in.
"Fine, then let's go."
Watching the two silhouettes disappear into the darkness, the man's gaze gradually became confused...
"If you continue, you're bound to die sooner or later."
"But they!"
"I heard all your conversation. Tried to get revenge before but didn't succeed?"
"Then what should I do?"
"I don't know. I am someone who distinguishes public from private affairs. If I were you, maybe I'd let all this go. After all, you all did it for your masters back then, and they've given you two chances."
Public is public, private is private, yet when these words come from Feng Yi's mouth, it feels different. In an instant, the man felt as if he was struck by lightning, and he realized...
