The Cycle of Reincarnation in the Four-Courtyard House: A Journey Through the Heavens

Judging from the enemy's ambush location, this sentry had the widest field of vision and always remained huddled in the shadows, making him extremely difficult to approach.

Li Xiao squatted on the wall, his eyes sweeping over the snow in the yard, and suddenly an idea came to him.

He casually picked up a small stone from the ground, held it between his fingertips, and threw it toward the courtyard wall behind the sentry.

"Snap!"

The sentry behind the well was indeed drawn to the spot, leaning forward slightly to look in the direction behind him.

The instant he turned his head, Li Xiao darted out from the shadows of the corner like a hawk swooping down on a rabbit. He rushed to the well platform, covered the sentry's mouth with his left hand, and precisely stabbed the man in the heart with his right hand.

The sentry struggled violently for a moment, but Li Xiao held him firmly on the well platform until he was completely still. Only then did he slowly release his grip and drag the sentry's body behind the well platform to hide him.

The courtyard fell silent again, with only the dim light from the lanterns swaying on the snow.

The disappearance of the three sentries did not alert Yamamoto and the others inside the house.

Li Xiao walked silently to the front of the courtyard gate and carefully examined the door hinges, discovering traces of grease on them.

A happy smile appeared on Li Xiao's lips.

"I didn't expect these Japanese soldiers to have oiled the door hinges, so the door won't creak when opened."

He pushed open the slightly ajar door and slipped into the house.

Faint breathing sounds could be heard from inside the room, indicating that the Japanese agents inside had fallen asleep.

The house that Yamamoto Ichiki chose was clearly the residence of a wealthy family in Ping'an County. The room he was currently in was the main house of this residence.

Yamamoto Ichiki and his trusted subordinates are very likely resting here.

Li Xiao first reached out to the room on the right.

Pushing open the door, I saw two special agents lying on the bed fully clothed. Although they were fast asleep, their hands were still resting on the guns beside their pillows.

Li Xiao walked lightly to the bedside and swiftly slashed one man's throat. Then, the blade pierced the brainstem of another Japanese soldier through his eye socket.

His movements were swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation, and the two Japanese soldiers on the bed silently descended into hell.

Following the same method, Li Xiao moved through several bedrooms, like a ghost in the dark, silently reaping the lives of these invaders.

After walking through all three bedrooms in the main house, he still couldn't find any trace of Yamamoto Ichiki.

Li Xiao was not discouraged. He quietly left the main house and headed towards the house on the east side.

After he had walked through all four houses in the courtyard, he still couldn't find any trace of Yamamoto Ichiki.

Li Xiao frowned at this moment.

"That bastard Yamamoto Ichiki, is he hiding somewhere?"

Li Xiao's guess at this moment was correct.

Ever since Yang Xiuqin disappeared in the heavily guarded house during the day, the entire Yamamoto Special Forces team has been in an uproar.

Where is this? This place is guarded by the most elite special forces soldiers from more than fifty island nations, and a living person has just mysteriously disappeared!

As the elite of the Japanese army, they naturally did not speculate about supernatural phenomena, but believed that the enemy who could rescue Xiuqin must have methods unknown to them.

As the leader and founder of this special forces team, Yamamoto Ichiki naturally understood the terror of the enemy.

If he could rescue that woman right under the noses of his own special forces, and in broad daylight, then it wouldn't be too difficult for the other party to assassinate him.

So Yamamoto Ichiki didn't rest in his usual bedroom tonight, but instead took three bodyguards and went directly to the house across the street.

That's right, it's the house where Jiang Hui ambushed them.

If Jiang Hui hadn't made such a small noise while concealing himself, he probably would have been exposed immediately.

At that moment, Jiang Hui's deep voice came through an in-ear headset in Li Xiao's ear.

"Chief, something seems amiss here!"

Li Xiao's expression changed, and he immediately disappeared from the courtyard.

With a physique ten times that of a human, Li Xiao's speed has reached an unbelievable level.

He once tested it in his own space, and Li Xiao's current 100-meter time is 4.57 seconds, which is almost the same as that of a cheetah.

His current maximum weight that he can lift overhead is 1855 kilograms, making him a veritable human crane.

A few seconds later, Li Xiao had already leaped onto the roof of the house opposite. Jiang Hui whispered in Li Xiao's ear, "Boss, I spotted a Japanese soldier dressed as a civilian going to the toilet in that house downstairs!"

Li Xiao's mind raced, and he immediately understood everything.

"So that's how it is! Yamamoto Ichiki, that fox, was actually hiding right across from the old base. He was playing the trick of hiding where it was most vulnerable!"

Li Xiao made a gesture to Jiang Hui, who nodded and then jumped directly into the backyard.

The sound of him landing immediately drew the attention of everyone inside the room.

With Li Xiao's abnormally sharp hearing, he only heard a faint sound coming from inside the room, followed by a loud "bang".

Yamamoto Ichiki fired the gun directly from inside the house.

Li Xiao landed in the front yard and then kicked open the gate.

"Boom!"

After a loud bang, two FN57 pistols appeared in Li Xiao's hands without him even noticing.

This type of pistol was later known as the "body armor terminator".

The FN57 pistol uses 5.7×28mm small-caliber high-velocity ammunition, with a muzzle velocity of approximately 715 m/s.

The gun has been tested and can penetrate 48 layers of Kevlar material at a distance of 50 meters, and can even penetrate titanium alloy plates up to 1.6 mm thick or steel plates up to 6 mm thick.

Li Xiao had already clearly seen the positions of the people in the room, and he had to admit that these people were indeed very vigilant.

Even when they're sleeping, they don't take off their bulletproof vests. The faint rustling sounds just now were probably just them fastening their combat helmets and drawing their pistols.

"Clap clap clap clap~"

In just one second, Li Xiao had fired four shots, each bullet hitting the enemy's back with pinpoint accuracy.

The four Japanese soldiers inside the house had their backs to Li Xiao because their attention was drawn to Jiang Hui in the backyard.

Li Xiao's bullet pierced Yamamoto Ichiki's heart. Yamamoto's Colt 1911 pistol fell to the ground.

It swayed and fell in front of the desk, its eyes still filled with disbelief and astonishment.

Li Xiao put away his gun, glanced around the room, and confirmed that all four people inside had been killed.

He walked to the window and waved to the courtyard behind him. Jiang Hui's figure immediately emerged from behind a jujube tree.

"leader!"

"Yes, mission accomplished. Let's get out of here as soon as possible. The Japanese in the county town have already been alerted by the gunfire!"

"yes!"

The howling north wind swept through the county town, and the lights in the houses on both sides of the street gradually went out. This silent assassination finally came to an end.
