Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

Chapter 1905 Sheng Ying’s Death

Huo Yao's eyes turned cold. She quickly walked up in front of the stone platform now split into two.

The black and white pieces of jade had turned a little dark, but mechanisms in the stone platform continued keeping the black hole open.

She reached her hand to take the two pieces of jade without hesitation.

Sheng Ying saw Huo Yao's actions from the corner of his eyes. He hastily said, "Don't you dare! Don't you want to save Shangguan Wei and the others?"

Huo Yao's hands slowed down briefly. She veered her head and looked at Sheng Ying. She spoke without the slightest warmth in her voice, "Do you think I will fall for the same trick twice?"

She had already remembered everything including the entire truth about time travel.

If the elders were not completely dead, there was a chance of saving them. But now… they had lost all signs of life, so it was impossible to bring them back anymore.

Huo Yao veered her eyes. She turned to look at the stone platform until her trembling hands went stiff before she finally put her hands down.

Since it was impossible to change anything, it was time for everything to end today.

This was probably the last thing she could do for the elders and the Shangguan clan.

Huo Yao had unexpectedly given up on the deceased elders. He could taste blood in his mouth, but he suppressed it. "Go! Stop her now!"

Hearing the order, his subordinate raised his hands and hastily attacked Huo Yao. His blows were very formidable and he was clearly genetically altered as well.

However, before he was able to come close to Huo Yao, Min Yu cut his path off.

Min Yu stood with his back facing Huo Yao. He veered his head slightly and said in a deep calm tone, "Just do whatever you want. I will take care of the rest."

"Uh huh."

Huo Yao did not turn back. She quickly turned the mechanism controls anti-clockwise a couple of times. In a split second, the moving stone table ground to a stop.

The pieces of black and white jade were removed.

Seeing this, Sheng Ying felt very angry that he was unable to stop Huo Yao.

The meteorite was not only the key to the time travel portal, but their energy was also critical in keeping it open. Once they were removed, the time travel portal would quickly shut down and the chances of reactivating the portal were slim.

In this world, no second meteorite existed. Also, no one knew if this existing piece of meteorite was capable of reactivating the time travel portal again.

Sheng Ying was infuriated. Sure enough, the black hole was gradually closing up. In less than a minute, it would probably close completely.

No. He had planned this for years. He could not let his plans fail now!

Sheng Ying gritted his teeth. He disregarded Huo Yao entirely. He was already standing beside the black hole, and he jumped right into it.

As long as he could travel to the future billions of light years away from now, considering his abilities, he could definitely find a way to reactivate the time travel portal one day.

However, Huo Yao already saw this coming. Before he could jump into the black hole, Huo Yao spun her body and kicked Sheng Ying in mid-air making him fly two meters away.

"I told you. You will never have the chance to get in." Huo Yao squeezed the two pieces of jade in her hand. She paused and said in a sarcastic tone, "Then again, do you regret teaching me what I know about ancient style mechanisms?"

Even though she did not know how to activate this mechanism, it was not hard for her to destroy it.

Sheng Ying clutched his chest. He had already suffered a gunshot wound to his chest. After Huo Yao kicked him, blood kept gushing from his wound dripping through his fingers. He was in a very bad state now.

He steadied himself and raised his head to look at Huo Yao sinisterly. "You are just my experiment subject. It doesn't matter how strong you are. Even if you kill me now, it can't change anyone's fate."

Be it the people deserving of death or not, they were all dead now. How could his good disciple live with a peace of mind knowing this?

Huo Yao said nothing and not the slightest emotion could be seen in her eyes. Her body swiftly approached Sheng Ying yet again and attacked him without any hesitation.

Sheng Ying was no match for Huo Yao. Also, Sheng Ying was injured. Huo Yao had the upper hand against him the entire time. Min Yu was busy taking care of Sheng Ying's men, so they were unable to help him either.

As time passed second by second, the black hole coming from the time travel portal was gradually diminishing in size. Sheng Ying felt furious. At this moment, he was a little regretful for not putting Huo Yao under his full control earlier right from the start.

She was a potential danger and he should not have kept her around.

"Sure enough, you never disappoint me." Sheng Ying sounded very cold. He suppressed the blood coming from his mouth, swiftly retrieved a pill, and quickly took it.

After taking the drug, the pain in his body almost disappeared in the blink of an eye. Powerful energy surged through every part of his body.

Even his injuries were healing swiftly right before everyone's eyes.

Sheng Ying was finally able to straighten his body. The fury in his eyes did not dissipate despite his recovery. Instead, he looked even more sinister.

Medicine that could bring about almost immediate recovery could save lives, but it also had very strong side effects. Unless people were desperate, they should never take them.

He never expected the day to come when he would have to use this drug. He could not help finding this ironic.

Sheng Ying put all the blame on Huo Yao. He immediately went on the offensive and kicked the weapon from her hand effortlessly. "Give me the meteorite."

Huo Yao could keenly sense that Sheng Ying was now a completely different person. Sheng Ying was giving off a formidable aura, but she remained calm. She looked at Sheng Ying and spoke in a deep cool tone, "Impossible."

Saying this, Huo Yao raised her hand in mid-air in the direction of the gradually closing black hole. Right in front of Sheng Ying, she slowly released her hand.

Two pieces of jade promptly slipped from her hands. Sheng Ying's eyes constricted. He automatically lunged straight toward the black hole in a desperate attempt to save the two pieces of jade.

Sadly, he was unable to grab anything. He could only see the silhouettes of the jade pieces as they fell into the black hole, but he was unable to do anything about them.

Meanwhile, the black hole closed completely.

The floor went back to normal and the time travel portal which had split into two combined as one. The rumbling in the ground slowly dissipated.

It seemed as though nothing had ever happened in the secret chamber, yet it was clear that something had transpired.

Seeing this, Sheng Ying suddenly lost his mind. He anxiously turned the mechanism controls at the center of the stone table.

Without the key, the mechanism controls had stopped working. No matter how he moved its controls, it refused to reactivate.

Sheng Ying's heart sank. He pressed against the stone platform with a vicious look in his eyes. He slowly turned his head sideways and looked at Huo Yao coldly. "I'm going to kill you!"

How could she… In a split second, Sheng Ying attacked Huo Yao. He attacked her ruthlessly and anyone could see that he wanted her dead.

Huo Yao narrowed her eyes. Just as she was about to take on Sheng Ying's killing move, her right hand suddenly froze slightly. She paused briefly and evaded him.

Even though her moves were nearly undetectable, Sheng Ying noticed something amiss. He pondered briefly and promptly grabbed Huo Yao's arm.

Huo Yao did not let him touch her. She tumbled to the side again nimbly as though she had never gone stiff previously.

Seeing this, something dawned on Sheng Ying. He looked at Min Yu as he fought his men from the corner of his eye and suddenly said in a mocking tone, "Do you think your body can…"

Before Sheng Ying could finish his sentence, a bang could be heard and a bloody red hole appeared at the center of his forehead.

Huo Yao's eyes looked cold. No one knew when she had picked up the gun in her hand. Perhaps her earlier actions were just a cover so that she could get the gun.

No matter how strong the human body could get, it could not withstand lethal firearms.

Sheng Ying never expected Huo Yao to kill him with a single shot this way. The mocking smile on his face froze permanently as though he was laughing at himself.

Huo Yao slowly put the gun down. She could suddenly taste blood in her mouth, but she suppressed it.

Finally… everything would come to an end.

Huo Yao looked at Sheng Ying as he fell. Something changed in her eyes as complicated emotions flooded her heart. She could also sense an inexplicable sadness inside.

Min Yu had already taken care of the super assassins. He walked up beside Huo Yao and looked at Sheng Ying lying on the ground. Even in death, he was unable to close his eyes in peace. He looked at Huo Yao. "Are you okay?"

Even though he was fighting the super assassins, he kept his eyes on Huo Yao and Sheng Ying as well. Especially the way he looked before he died along with the words he failed to finish saying.

Her body?

What did Sheng Ying want to say in the end?

"I'm fine." Huo Yao shook her head. The emotions in her eyes eventually dissipated. Just as she was about to speak, Myron and Zhuo Yun walked in quickly.

"Is this place going to collapse…" As Zhuo Yun spoke, he saw Sheng Ying lying on the ground with a gunshot wound to his head. "Did Chairman Sheng die?"

Min Yu glanced at him without responding. Instead, he said to Huo Yao, "I will get men to take them out and make funeral arrangements."

He was referring to the dead elders.

The moment Huo Yao heard "funeral arrangements", she went into a daze once more.

She remembered the jokes that Shangguan Wei often cracked about people from the family ending badly.

In the past, she did not take him seriously. She was a firm believer in controlling her fate. If she had enough control of her life, no one could sway or change her destiny.

In hindsight, there was no such thing as control of one's destiny. She had mistakenly thought she did.

Was she not just an experiment subject to her master?

Huo Yao closed her eyes. After some time, she acknowledged in a hoarse tone, "Okay."

Even though Zhuo Yun did not know what happened in the secret chamber, he could sense something wrong with the atmosphere inside. Without probing, he immediately executed his boss' orders to take the elders from the secret chamber.

By the time they were done burying them, several hours had passed.

The night was through and the sun was slowly rising.

It was dawn.

Huo Yao stood in front of the graves. Her figure looked so vulnerable that it seemed as though she might get taken by the wind.

She quietly looked at the empty tombstone in deep grief.

Shangguan Wei and the elders had guarded the clan all their lives. Even in their death, she could not put names on the tombstone. It seemed as though they never existed in the world before.

It sounded particularly sad. Perhaps this might be some kind of liberation for them.

Huo Yao smiled. Then, she bowed deeply at the graves.

Meanwhile, not far from them.

Zhuo Yun had come back after sending the archaeological team out. He was holding his phone as he walked up beside Min Yu with a serious look on his face. He suppressed his voice and said, "Boss, I have news that Mirage Base sent a team of super assassins to take Mr Huo and the others."

Min Yu kept looking at Huo Yao. He frowned slightly hearing Zhuo Yun's words.

Considering Huo Yao's temperament, if something happened to her family now… Min Yu did not dare to continue imagining. He asked, "When did this happen?"

"Probably last night after we entered this place." Zhuo Yun quickly explained, "Since we can't reach the outside world from here, we didn't receive the news last night."

Min Yu narrowed his eyes. A lot of things had happened in a single night.

"Yang Yi ran into super assassins on the way here and almost died," said Zhuo Yun.

The super assassins were a formidable force. Even though they had undergone intense training, they were not able to take them head-on, let alone if it was an ambush.

Zhuo Yun narrowed his eyes. "Also, the political scene in Country M is facing lots of unrest. All the powerful families have unknowingly made a secret alliance to attack the Huo family. They even used the government to give pressure to stop the Weapons Bureau from intervening."

Someone had clearly plotted this ahead of time.

"No one can touch the Huo family," Huo Yao walked over and spoke grimly. Her murderous aura left people cold.
