Chapter 779: Chapter 817: Heart Devil

Everyone’s complexion changed drastically in an instant; they were not weaklings. From the way those two people moved stealthily, it was clear that they were experts. In such a situation, ordinary people simply had no way to guard against their surprise attacks.

But not only did they fail, they failed miserably. Golden Eagle and Mad Eagle did not get up from the ground, yet their lives were claimed. What’s more, none of the people saw how Golden Eagle and Mad Eagle made their move—it was as if their deaths were so inexplicably sudden.

Although they had known before how powerful Golden Eagle and Mad Eagle were, basically none of those present had ever directly confronted Golden Eagle and Mad Eagle. The reason was simple: those who had fought with them either lost their lives, or the other party did not use their true strength and simply aimed to complete the mission and escape as soon as they could.

"These two are definitely feigning sleep! They’re luring us to approach, truly cunning."

"Then let’s just outlast them. I want to see if they can continue to pretend to sleep like this."

"Right, we’ll just keep harassing them, preventing them from getting any rest. Today they can’t rest, and tomorrow they won’t be able to either. I don’t believe they can maintain such strong combat power this way."

This suggestion immediately won unanimous approval. There were so many people on their side; everyone could take turns to rest. But Golden Eagle and Mad Eagle were only two people. If they were to keep up vigilance in such a manner, it would only become an increasing advantage for the group and more and more detrimental to Li Yifei and his partner.

Harassment seemed to be the main strategy as it seemed not too dangerous. There was no need to get too close to Li Yifei and his partner to disturb them effectively.

The group quickly arranged for shifts. Although they belonged to various dark forces, with more friction than cooperation and often clashing, at this moment, they could actually coordinate with one another. This showed just how much of a deterrent presence Golden Eagle and Mad Eagle were to them.

Li Yifei and Shen Tianfang appeared to be sleeping carelessly, but their positions were shielded behind two large boulders. That meant unless someone got close, guns were useless. Although they were strong, they had to be wary of sniper shots, for human flesh was never stronger than bullets.

So at the moment, the best weapon was not a gun but hand-to-hand combat. Harassment was relatively simple; just walking around near Li Yifei and his partner should be enough to keep them from resting easy.

Their plan might have been solid, but they quickly became frustrated. If they kept their distance, Golden Eagle and Mad Eagle did not care and continued to sleep soundly. If they approached closer, within the attack range of Golden Eagle and Mad Eagle, they would face a lightning-fast counterattack. In just over two hours, there had already been two fatalities and four seriously injured.

This left the rest of them looking at each other in dismay, yet it solidified their decision. Golden Eagle and Mad Eagle were certainly not sleeping soundly but were constantly on guard. So, as long as they kept the harassment up, they believed that even if there were four more days, in just two days Golden Eagle and Mad Eagle would be worn out. Despite some casualties, they persisted with the harassment strategy.

The strategy seemed correct to them, but for Li Yifei and Shen Tianfang, it did not have any impact whatsoever. The two were simply taking turns to rest, one person for two hours at a time. The one sleeping completely trusted his comrade and slept soundly. Half a night’s rest for such strong individuals was already sufficient, so their spirit would not be affected at all.

Of course, to achieve this, one had to have enough confidence in one’s comrades. If one had even a little less faith in one’s comrade, under such circumstances, they would not be able to sleep soundly.

On the fourth day, even more people arrived. Apart from those who held a grudge against Li Yifei and came to kill him, there were also those who came to watch the excitement and even those who hoped to gain a share of the spoils. Despite there being no obvious benefits, if an opportunity arose to suppress a rival, it was considered a very good turn of events.

Then, in the afternoon of the fifth day, a group’s arrival suddenly drew everyone’s attention to them.

This was a group of Americans, fifteen in total—nine men and six women. The nine men had an austere demeanor and superb strength, and the five women were not to be underestimated either. The fourteen of them were all escorting a young woman with her face veiled.

Such a scene was immediately recognized by the dark forces: this was the famous Holy War Organization from America, and the veiled woman must be the Holy Maiden.

The formidable power of the Holy War Organization was indisputably ranked among the top two in the world, challenged only by Europe’s Green Hand Party. The Holy War Organization was known for many good deeds, but should anything interfere with the progression of their holy war, they would deal with it thunderously. Therefore, despite conflicts, there was also some cooperation with these dark forces, and none among them were unaware of the Holy War Organization.

However, they had never seen the Holy Maiden of the Holy War Organization. When the Holy War engaged in negotiations, the highest representative would be the Saint Envoy, but the Holy Maiden had always been a figure of legend. They didn’t expect that the Holy Maiden would appear here today, which was far beyond everyone’s expectations.

"Old Ten, your old flame is here," Shen Tianfang nudged Li Yifei with an ambiguous smile on his face.

Li Yifei rolled his eyes and said, "Ninth Brother, why are you starting to joke with me like this too?"

"I’m not joking with you. After Sixth Brother went back last time, we discussed it for a while. We feel that the possibility of the Green Hand Party doing this is quite small. If they really wanted to deal with you, their Crazy Satan would have found you himself, not use other methods to have someone kill you. The Holy Maidens, however, have a strange tradition. They believe a woman always needs a man, but as a Holy Maiden, one must dedicate her life to the sacred cause, thus a Holy Maiden cannot have a man. To completely disregard men, a Holy Maiden must select a man to become her Breaking Heart Demon, fall in love with him first, and then kill him, thus overcoming her inner demon. It’s very possible that the Holy Maiden has chosen you to be her Breaking Heart Demon."

Li Yifei widened his eyes, saying, "No way?"

Shen Tianfang nodded gravely and said, "It’s very possible. This is the most likely conclusion the nine of us have discussed together. Old Ten, if it really is like this, you’re in trouble. The Holy War Organization is not like other ones—if the Saintess truly chooses you, and if she can’t kill you, then she will insist on killing you no matter what."

"Is there no solution?" Li Yifei rubbed his nose.

"There is one!" Shen Tianfang replied with a hint of excitement.

"What’s the solution?" Li Yifei asked urgently.

"You get the Saintess into your hands and deflower her—that way, she can’t be a Saintess anymore, and there’d be no need to be concerned with the Breaking Heart Demon."

"Won’t that offend the Holy War Organization even more if I get the Saintess into my hands?"

"What else can you do? You can only say that the Saintess failed to overcome her Heart Demon, that it’s her own issue with determination. If the Holy War Organization still pesters you after that, they’d be negating their own righteous mission and proving that their tradition of the Saintess overcoming the Breaking Heart Demon is nothing but a joke."

"Damn!" Li Yifei rolled his eyes, finding the situation incredibly unbelievable, and couldn’t help uttering a curse. Then, he glanced over at the Holy War Organization and suddenly locked eyes with the Saintess.

Though they were far apart, Li Yifei could still feel the Saintess’ gaze on him. It made him feel uneasy inside, so he quickly turned his head to avoid her gaze.

Shen Tianfang said with a mischievous grin, "Hey, brother, haven’t you already won over Su Mengxin, the number one beauty of Huaxia? If you also get the Saintess, the two most famous beauties in the world would become yours. You’d be a legend, unmatched in history."

Li Yifei said with a grimace, "Ninth Brother, I hope this isn’t true. I’m already getting a headache from women every day, and if I meddle with a Saintess too, I won’t be able to live."

"You’re having a tough time as it is. Old Master Su has been furious and hasn’t had a chance to trouble you lately. With all the influential people you’ve offended—those we can’t afford to offend—having one more won’t make a difference. You might as well take them all on; heh, what did I say? Here she comes."

As they were speaking, the Saintess and her entourage began walking towards Li Yifei and his group.

The party stopped three meters away from Li Yifei and Shen Tianfang. The Saintess walked out from the protective crowd, directly up to Li Yifei. Someone immediately placed a cushion on a rock for the Saintess to sit down.

"Golden Eagle!" The Saintess looked at Li Yifei and called out softly in perfect Chinese.

Li Yifei chuckled and said, "Long time no see, Saintess. I hope you’ve been well."

"Fairly well, but I’ve missed you," the Saintess said with a gaze full of tenderness.

Li Yifei’s heart clenched and he glanced sideways at Shen Tianfang involuntarily. Shen Tianfang whistled softly and stepped aside, saying, "You two talk, don’t mind me."

The Saintess smiled slightly and said, "I think you should know by now; I’ve chosen you as the subject of my Heart Demon. Now there are only two paths to choose from: either I kill you to break the Heart Demon, or you lead me into temptation and I become your woman."

Li Yifei rolled his eyes and said, "Of course, I don’t want to die at your hands, but I’m already married. I don’t want you to become my woman either."

"You have no other choice. This time, I’ve made your information public because I saw you had become too decadent. That wasn’t befitting of my Heart Demon. But now your fighting spirit has returned, and you’ve become that strong person again, which pleases me. Prepare yourself for this challenge."

Li Yifei looked at the Saintess and said slowly, "I don’t get threatened by others."

The Saintess’ eyes twinkled with amusement as she said, "I’m not threatening you, but you have no other choice but to accept this fate. Let’s see who will be victorious."
