Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Doesn’t Want to Become a Night City Legend

Chapter 169 Jack is still alive.
In that instant, my thoughts stretched on endlessly.

She was held back by Goro Takemura, and the safety door closed, but an explosion was heard coming from inside the room.

An explosion? Why did it explode?

Of course, naturally, if Arasaka Yorinobu wasn't committing a 'violent murder' but rather had prepared for everything up to this point, he would naturally be wary of Jack and V, who were in the same room as him.

However, neither Jack nor V appeared in front of Lai Xuan, so it was impossible for him to use methods such as pre-installing network viruses.

So, was a bomb planted in the room beforehand? That's not quite right either, because if that were the case, given V's cautious nature, he wouldn't have remained silent.

That leaves only one possibility.
"The bomb was brought in by a person."
Is it Lai Xuan?

But what was Yoriyuki's reason for using the bomb? Was it to destroy Saburo's body to erase his murderous traces and incidentally attack V and Jack? Putting aside the danger of using a bomb indoors and whether it would affect him, if Arasaka Yoriyuki had such a bomb on him, Takemura Goro wouldn't have missed it.

Exclusion.

After eliminating all possibilities, the only person who wouldn't be checked for a bomb and had the opportunity to use it was—

V and Jack!
why?
V certainly knew that controlling Lai Xuan was the best option at this time, and using bombs was definitely not a good choice.

Perhaps the reason they didn't do that was more straightforward and simple.

Can't do it.

Yoriyuki, also known as Arakawa Yoriyuki, was a biker gang member who rebelled against the Arakawa organization in his youth, and his fighting prowess has never been discussed.

However, having been raised as a corporate heir since childhood, Arasaka Yorinobu is unlikely to be lacking in intelligence and technical skills. Considering his past experiences, which required him to engage in numerous direct armed battles with corporate-level enemies, he is certainly not weak in actual combat.

Was it because V realized he couldn't capture Arasaka Yorinobu alive, and also realized that Yorinobu wanted to frame him and Jack, that he used the bomb he was carrying to blow up the glass behind him in an attempt to escape?
So what I need to do is ————————

Lu Mingfei clicked his tongue and stopped paying attention to the safety door.

He could certainly take some time to break through the security gate, but putting aside the possibility that Arasaka Yoriyuki might have already escaped in an airship by then, V and Jack, who are now fleeing so blatantly, will definitely be identified as enemies.

I must go and rescue them immediately!

What is the essence of framing? Lu Mingfei must know that too, since he used almost the same method to get rid of Faraday.

It's a dead person.

Dead people can't talk, so V and Jack have to appear in front of the crowd and then die on the spot!
Lu Mingfei would never allow such a thing to happen.

He immediately turned around and planned to rush downhill on a different route!

However, Goro Takemura, who was also accelerating, would never give way.

"Where are you planning to run off to?!"

From Takemura Goro's perspective, Lu Mingfei's expression changed, he made a strange move, and then an explosion was heard in the room. Instead of going in to protect his master, Lu Mingfei, as Lai Xuan's bodyguard, turned around and ran away.

It seems suspicious no matter how you look at it.

Lu Mingfei wanted to explain to him, but now every second counted.

Silver light and gunfire simultaneously tore through the air!
In the amber-colored acceleration field, Lu Mingfei and Goro Takemura simultaneously created afterimages, leaving countless frozen frames as they moved to one side!
Goro Takemura is Saburo Arasaka's bodyguard, and his gun and sword skills are top-notch within the company!
Left hand holding a gun, right hand raising a knife!

boom!
The bullet was easily dodged by Lu Mingfei, who had his back turned, but his sinking body also meant a brief moment of stagnation.

He pushed off the ground with his feet and exploded forward! Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhucun moved to within a meter's width of Lu Mingfei's back—

cut!
Just as the blade struck, Lu Mingfei turned his head, his shoulder almost brushing against the blade.

It seemed dangerous, but it was still within Lu Mingfei's control.

Just as Takemura was about to approach, he suddenly kicked out with his right foot—pushing off the wall and leaping!

The body accelerated further, and the strengthening tendons increased the rotation speed the instant Lu Mingfei's body spun in mid-air!
The backflip, the afterimage of his right leg whipping out with a dull thud of bones shattering, was like a thick axe blade smashing into Goro Takemura's head!
The shadow of death covered his face, and Takemura hurriedly raised his arm with the katana, then staggered and knelt down.

Click.

The broken arm bone pierced through the combat uniform.

But Takemura's expression only changed slightly; his movements remained unchanged. He raised his left hand to control the bullet trajectory and pulled the trigger.

boom!
The high-speed kinetic energy bullet grazed Lu Mingfei's jaw, splattering blood. After landing, Lu Mingfei lightly tapped his toes and immediately turned around to rush forward again, instantly widening the distance between them.

"Don't even think about running!!!"

Takemura gritted his teeth and swung his broken right arm forcefully, throwing the katana towards his left hand.

He dropped his gun and lunged forward, forming a bow shape.

boom!--!--

Fun fact: Ordinary people in Night City, like Rebecca, even with roadside gadgets, were able to use mechanical power to cleanly sever the neck of a Beast Gang member, spine and all, with a plate.

Cybernetic implants helped these 'hybrids' raise their potential, making them resemble humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex.

The thrown blade cut through the air and stabbed towards Lu Mingfei's back.

Close at hand!

wipe!)------

boom!
Lu Mingfei didn't look back, but he suddenly pressed his body down and accelerated again. Then he spun around in mid-air!
With his feet only about fifteen centimeters off the ground, his black hair floated gently, and his golden eyes burned like wildfire as he faced Takemura Goro. Then, he opened his palm and suddenly reached out his arm to grab the hilt of the sword as it crossed his original coordinates.

Hold the knife with your hand reversed.

Body rotates.

Slightly loosen the grip at half a turn, allowing the end of the handle to rotate in your palm.

Then, at the right moment—throw it out again!

boom!--!--!----------

If Takemura's throwing knife could pierce through a vehicle, then Lu Mingfei's knife was like a missile falling from the sky. Takemura Goro could only stand there, barely managing to dodge, but his black suit was pierced by the blade, the tsuba (handguard) caught on a button, and the inertia propelled Goro backward, finally embedding him violently in the security door! Smashing out a fine spiderweb!

"Ahem!"

After quickly dealing with the strongest bodyguard, Lu Mingfei accelerated again and disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye.

Goro Takemura's strength may be above that of Genjiro, but it is far inferior to Ruri Kazama at full strength, not to mention Adam's Hammer, Erii, and the like. Lu Mingfei doesn't consider defeating such opponents a challenge at all.

Time accelerated, accelerated, accelerated, but the slow wind could already be heard in my ears, bringing with it the chaotic sound of gunfire.

On the outside.

The exterior of the Glamour Building!

The strafing is from an airship!

Lu Mingfei gritted his teeth.

Jack and V are certainly excellent mercenaries, but not every mercenary is a legend. Being instantly killed when facing large-scale combat weapons is the norm! Even David, without his cybernetic body, would never have dared to mess with the Arasaka airship.

We must get to them immediately! ————

[Haha. Huffing and puffing]

Inside the electrical conduit of the Gum Pik Building, a man stumbled and crashed into a metal wall with a loud thud.

"Jack!! Hang in there! L is definitely on his way here!"

The blue-haired woman supported him, her face showing some anxiety.

Of course, of course.

The burly man bared his teeth, but it was difficult for him to manage a smile.

Sticky scarlet blood was seeping from between his fingers.
