The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1928: Escaping the Research Facility

"Fight again," Ye Shikai shouted loudly, but his hands didn’t stop moving. As the sword and knife came down, George retreated repeatedly, leaving many cracks in the walls due to the Sword Qi and blade. George’s body was also injured.

"Mr. Ye, do you really want to fight to the death?" George retorted.

"Today, you will die here," Ye Shikai said coldly, with no intention of stopping. George’s movement technique was also fast; in this narrow space, he managed to dodge Ye Shikai’s attacks several times "bare-handed."

"Eight minutes until the facility self-destructs."

Ye Shikai couldn’t help but start to feel anxious. This George was also a cultivator of the Body Integration Realm. Even though he was unarmed, Ye Shikai wanted to kill him within eight minutes, which wasn’t a simple task.

"There’s a worm, it’s the Heart Devouring Poisonous Insect." At this moment, the voice of the Knife Soul echoed in his mind, causing Ye Shikai to become immediately alert. He hadn’t sensed the "presence" of worms nearby, but of course, worms are often the nemesis of cultivators, colorless and tasteless, so small and subtle, hard to detect. Unless one’s cultivation level is high or well-versed in Worm Skills, even if the body is inflicted with worms, there’s no awareness until the worms activate in the body and it’s game over.

Though the Knife Soul doesn’t have a physical form and exists as a Spiritual Body in Ye Shikai’s mind, its sharpness and detection power far exceed Ye Shikai’s. It serves as Ye Shikai’s "Early Warning Device," able to anticipate danger ahead of time.

"Seven minutes until the facility self-destructs."

"I have an idea," Ye Shikai murmured, and then suddenly fell to the ground, unexpectedly, as if dying instantly...

George slowly walked forward, bent down to check, and seeing Ye Shikai had no breath, he felt relieved and turned to leave.

"It’s now."

Ye Shikai suddenly opened his eyes, swiftly got up, and stabbed with his You Xi Sword, rushing forward. George had no time to react, and the sword directly pierced through his body.

"You...how..."

"Indeed, the Heart Devouring Poisonous Insect left. Colorless and tasteless, hard to detect—you assassinated Tianjing like this. But unfortunately, I’m not him." Ye Shikai channeled Inner Strength, You Xi Sword’s blade began to emit a blood-red glow, and all of George’s blood was absorbed into the sword...

The sword blade had already penetrated his body, and more importantly, this wasn’t an ordinary sword; it was the You Xi Sword. Even for a Body Integration Realm expert, there’s no chance of survival at this point.

George’s face was devoid of color, feeling no vitality, as he was already dead, thoroughly dead. He was the mastermind behind the HST project, causing many to perish tragically, and meeting this end was well-deserved.

George thought Ye Shikai died from the Heart Devouring Poisonous Insect, but little did he know that although the insect entered his body, it was killed by the Lifebound Gu. Ye Shikai feigned death earlier to deceive George, and he fell for it, thus meeting a swift demise by Ye Shikai.

"Five minutes until the facility self-destructs." At this moment, the self-destruct broadcast sounded again, and Ye Shikai quickly turned to leave. This was no joke; if this research facility exploded, he’d really be done for.

Ye Shikai rushed out, he must leave within five minutes. Suddenly, he saw a team approaching from afar. He wasn’t particularly afraid because if his guess was correct, it was surely Chen Yuxin’s group.

"Feng Ling," Ye Shikai recognized the approaching figure.

"Groom, are you alright?" Feng Ling asked anxiously.

"That’s great. Please, Groom, leave with us immediately," Feng Ling urged.

"Alright, let’s go quickly," Ye Shikai agreed, nodding. As the group planned to evacuate, Wuyan suddenly brought people over.

"Wuyan, why are you here?" Ye Shikai asked, "Aren’t you supposed to have left already?"

"I couldn’t leave while you were still inside; how’s it going, is it settled?" Wuyan asked.

"Thanks to your Lifebound Gu, George has been taken care of; let’s hurry and leave."

"Let’s go, leave quickly."

"Quick."

Ye Shikai and the group sprinted non-stop while many others were also running outside. Time was critical, with less than five minutes remaining...

"Three minutes until the facility self-destructs."

"Two minutes until the facility self-destructs."

"One minute until the facility self-destructs."

The countdown on the broadcast continued, and in the final minute, Ye Shikai and his group finally escaped from the research facility.

"Quick, there’s a truck over there, get on!" Ye Shikai shouted loudly, jumping into the driver’s seat as the group hurried onto the truck.

"Go!"

Ye Shikai slammed the accelerator pedal down, and the truck immediately roared to life. However, at this moment, he wished the truck could fly...

"Hurry up!" The truck had picked up speed, but there were less than thirty seconds left; they had to leave swiftly.

"Self-destruct countdown, five, four, three, two, one."

Boom!

Instantly, the entire research facility was "torn apart" by the explosives placed inside. Debris flew outward as if erupting from a volcano, and the massive explosion sounded, making Ye Shikai’s ears uncomfortable, while the shockwave spread in all directions...

"Everyone, hold tight!" Ye Shikai shouted loudly. The truck couldn’t escape in time and was quickly overturned by the explosive shockwave. Even being a big truck, in such an explosion, it was like a lone leaf on the ocean.

Bang, bang, bang.

The truck lost its balance, rolling like a drum on the flat ground. Ye Shikai covered his head with his hands, pulling out cotton-like items from his Storage Ring. After all, there weren’t airbags inside...

..................

When Ye Shikai opened his eyes again, he realized he was "upside down." The truck had flipped and was "four wheels up." He unfastened his seatbelt and kicked open the door, crawling out slowly.

"Wow, feels like my back is about to break," Ye Shikai stretched a bit. His face and body had several scars, but he didn’t have time to heal—they had people to gather.

"How are you all? Are you okay?" Ye Shikai rushed to the back, knowing the people there were probably in a rough state. Ye Shikai grabbed their hands, pulling them all out. Luckily, being cultivators, their bodies were far superior to ordinary people’s. Despite the heavy impact, they hadn’t lost consciousness.

"Wuyan, are you okay?" Ye Shikai quickly asked.

"Don’t worry, I’m fine," Wuyan waved his hand.

"This is not a place to linger; let’s leave quickly," Ye Shikai said, leading everyone towards the main troop camp.
