I Am Extraordinary Alone
Chapter 363 - 361: Ambush Zhao Ling

Chapter 363: Chapter 361: Ambush Zhao Ling

Several days had passed.

At 5 a.m., in the Lingxiao Palace.

During these days, she had also been awaiting reports on the tracking of the space station, yet there were none.

She told herself to be patient, after all, she had been waiting in silence for decades, a few more days would not make much difference.

Helena Mina had called her again yesterday, Wei Tianyang’s disappearance this time seemed complete, with no news for several days, but Zhao Ling wasn’t worried because she had seen the black sheep in the glass-domed garden corridor of the Lingxiao Palace.

At that moment, it was in the corridor, staring at the cityscape in the distance, lost in thought.

Zhao Ling even went forward to stroke it, the black sheep’s fur was eerily dark, but surprisingly soft to the touch, pleasant and its dumb gaze and the sheep face that was filled with stupid charm, seemed quite cute after a while.

She looked at the medals hanging from its horns, indeed the two medals that Wei Tianyang had received, this sheep, elusive as a spirit dragon, she suspected it might be able to travel through objective reality as well.

If a pet sheep hadn’t run away, what was there to worry about a fully-grown person? Hence, Zhao Ling wasn’t in a hurry, she wasn’t concerned about Wei Tianyang disappearing.

It was still early, she instructed the servants to fetch some food for the sheep, and then went up to the top-floor gym, took off her coat, and changed into yoga pants and a sports tank top.

Downstairs in the corridor, a quick-paced six-member team from the Inner Guard passed through the garden under the glass dome, followed by a man and a woman.

The man was dressed in a white suit, while the woman wore a business suit similar to Zhao Ling’s, a mask covering her face, with long hair pinned up behind her head.

They arrived inside the grand hall, where the Inner Guard Captain responsible for the inner sanctum’s protection approached them.

"The assassination went smoothly," the Captain whispered.

The six Inner Guards nodded, revealing a section of stun stick from their sleeves.

"Wait for our signal, Heavenly Emperor," the Captain then said to the man in the white suit.

The Heavenly Emperor nodded, looking towards the woman beside him, "Let’s go wait in the guest house. I need to concentrate to activate my power. Once the deed is done, you take over. I’ll coordinate with them to remove the body, and then it will be a job well done."

The woman nodded, looked at the six Inner Guards and said, "Gentlemen, I await the good news."

Her voice was identical to Zhao Ling’s, even with the mask on, her eyes were no different from Zhao Ling’s.

The Inner Guards saluted the Captain and the man and woman, then they quietly made their way upstairs.

The Captain went off to the maintenance room to coordinate a power outage, cut off network signals, and shut down cameras.

The Heavenly Emperor and the woman entered a room in the guest house, a waiting room furnished with a purple sandalwood tea table, three leather sofas, and a balcony.

The Heavenly Emperor closed the door, his eyes lit up, activating his superpower, silence ability. In an instant, all superpower users within a hundred-kilometer radius fell into a state of silence, unaware of what happened to them.

The woman walked to the ceiling, looking up, Zhao Ling’s gym was just two floors above. Glancing around the room, she felt a thrill anticipating that in a few minutes, she would take up residence here, becoming the ruler of a nation, despite knowing she had only two months to live.

"Are you afraid?" the Heavenly Emperor asked with a smile.

"Not at all. This is the will of heaven," she laughed.

"But still, I can’t bear to lose you," the Heavenly Emperor said.

"Don’t let my fate disturb your spiritual focus," she responded.

The Heavenly Emperor smiled faintly, gently caressing her cheek.

"Baa..."

At that moment, from the side of the outdoor balcony, hidden behind a red pillar, a sheep’s bleat was heard.

Alerted, both of them turned to look, only to see a black mountain goat there, head down, nibbling on something.

The Heavenly Emperor walked over and saw that the black sheep was munching on some cold dishes.

"What’s this...?" The Heavenly Emperor was taken aback.

"Is it Zhao Ling’s pet? Does she like to keep such things?" Ling said with a chuckle.

"How amusing, this sheep has probably enjoyed quite the luxury following her around, living a much better life than the commoners below," the Heavenly Emperor sneered.

"It does have quite the appetite~" Ling said with a smile.

"Hey! You’re letting your accent show again!" the Heavenly Emperor suddenly exclaimed.

"Ah!? Oh..." Ling looked down.

"Get used to it quick, find a way to kill Wei Tianyang; if you can think of another method to accomplish the mission, I’ll ask the sect master to save you," the Heavenly Emperor said.

"I have my own judgment, once I kill him, using the Emperor’s identity, I’ll naturally find a way to get the antidote. Asking the sect master for help will diminish your standing in my heart," Ling said.

At that moment, the air conditioning suddenly stopped, and they both looked up at the ceiling.

Zhao Ling had just changed her clothes and was warming up with a set of exercises when the windows suddenly changed color, and the door was gently pushed open as six Inner Guards entered.

After the last one entered the room, they closed the door; then, click, all the locks shut.

The air conditioning was off, all the gadgets went offline, and the floating HUD on the glass windows disappeared.

Zhao Ling, 28 steps away from them, laughed, "I didn’t call for you to come up."

As soon as she finished speaking, retractable batons slid out from the sleeves of the six men.

"Oh... I get it now. You’ve got quite the nerve," Zhao Ling chuckled.

She moved her shoulders around; her left arm that had been broken was somewhat better, but since only a few days had passed, her shoulder was still somewhat fragile. At this moment, she rapidly pondered in her mind, wondering through what loophole this assassination had been allowed to happen right under her nose.

"Zhao Ling, you’re as good as dead. Do it yourself, and you might pass on with dignity," an Inner Guard said.

"Has Lingxiao Palace been completely infiltrated by you? How many people have you planted around me?" asked Zhao Ling.

Without a response, the Inner Guards slowly spread out, occupying the corners of the room and pushing her toward the center, encircling her.

Zhao Ling tried to use her superpower, but only felt a void.

She frowned slightly; only now did she sense the trouble, there was a Heavenly Emperor nearby...

"Think it through clearly, you’ll have no way back once you move your hands," Zhao Ling said.

"You’re the one who should be thinking clearly," the Inner Guard raised his stun baton and pressed the button; the charging slot crackled with electricity, sparks flying.

"Then let’s cut the crap!" Zhao Ling shouted angrily.

The Inner Guards moved in together, six stun batons stretching towards different parts of her body.

Zhao Ling bent her body and stepped forward, avoiding two batons, and grabbed the Inner Guard in front of her, tackling him to the ground. She then flipped over with a cartwheel, using the centrifugal force of her body’s rotation to press a knee firmly against his face.

She stooped down and backflipped, extending her leg to kick at the incoming Inner Guard, hitting him right on the chin.

Zhao Ling broke through the encirclement with two moves and casually picked up a stun baton from the ground. Holding the baton backwards with her left hand and opening her right palm, she stretched her left leg forward, pointing her toes, ready for the next move.

The Inner Guards then adjusted their formation and attacked her simultaneously from four directions.

Zhao Ling used her left hand to fend off two baton strikes with the stun baton and bent low, coiling her legs before slapping the ground with her right hand and vaulting forward, her body flipping upside down. Her powerful long legs, like helicopter blades, swept a roundhouse kick that sent the attackers flying meters away.

She pursued the advantage, thrusting the stun baton into the abdomen of an Inner Guard in front of her and then leaped up with a knee strike heavy with momentum, directly smashing his cheekbone.

As soon as she landed, Zhao Ling quickly turned around; four Inner Guards were closing in on her from behind, one of them recklessly charging at her. Zhao Ling jabbed her stun baton into his body, and he cried out frantically, grabbing her and pinning her to the ground.
