“Master, this place isn’t safe to stay for long.”
Ke Ling felt it was time to leave.
Although the area was quite desolate, making such a big commotion meant there was still a chance of being noticed.
“Alright…”
Yang Liuqing was just about to move when a chill ran down her spine, her heart pounding wildly, as if a wild beast in the mountain forest had locked onto her.
She quickly turned around and spotted a fist-sized crimson eyeball floating above the ruins.
“What the heck is that!?”
Ke Li followed Yang Liuqing’s gaze, a surprised expression appearing on her face.
She hadn’t sensed anything at all just now.
“Master, be extremely careful!”
Ke Ling’s expression was tense.
Without a word, Yang Liuqing grasped the void and produced the Big Sword.
The eyeball had already transformed into a blood arrow shooting toward her.
The speed was terrifyingly fast; the moment she realized the blood arrow was coming, it was already in front of her.
Yang Liuqing decisively swung her sword, trying to knock it away.
However, the moment the pitch-black Big Sword touched the blood arrow, something bizarre happened.
The blood arrow instantly scattered and splashed outward.
Yang Liuqing’s pupils contracted as she rapidly retreated.
Even so, her tracksuit was splattered with blood both top and bottom.
“Ew, how disgusting.”
A look of revulsion appeared on her face; she was extremely displeased inside.
Within a single day, two sets of new clothes had been either torn or dirtied.
“Master, are you alright?”
Ke Ling was a bit worried.
“Xiao Qingqing, could this blood be poisonous?”
Ke Li floated over and scanned her up and down.
Yang Liuqing shook her head.
“Not clear yet.”
“How about taking it off?”
Ke Ling first glanced at the bloodstains on the ground, and only after finding nothing unusual did she turn her gaze to Yang Liuqing. That attack just now was very unusual.
“I don’t have a change of clothes.”
Yang Liuqing didn’t want to run around half-naked.
“I’ll just make do.”
“I think it’s better to listen to big sister.”
Ke Li also felt something was fishy.
“Fine.”
Yang Liuqing hesitated for a moment but ultimately decided to take off the clothes and discard them.
But just then, a strange noise came from the sky.
The three followed the sound and saw a silver figure and a white figure rapidly approaching.
“You’ve got to be kidding me?”
Yang Liuqing was shocked.
Even if Lu Xueyuan had sold them out with Intelligence, the hunters of the Urban Village couldn’t have found them this fast.
Unless they had already been on the road to begin with.
“Master, it’s the Tixianren and the Zhanzhengjiqi.”
Ke Ling quickly identified the newcomers.
“One wave hasn’t settled before another rises.”
Ke Li spread her hands helplessly.
Yang Liuqing smiled bitterly.
“They can fly, so running won’t be easy.”
She hadn’t expected the Zhanzhengjiqi to truly live up to his name.
Not only was he wearing Exoskeleton Armor, but he also used single-soldier Micro Jet Thrusters.
Judging by the device’s size, the energy it consumed was no small matter.
“Without transportation, we can’t escape.”
Ke Ling looked toward the Hongda Motorcycle that had been forcibly scrapped in the distance.
If it were still in perfect condition, they could have tried.
“Xiao Qingqing, two against one, do you have confidence?”
Ke Li rarely looked so solemn.
The situation was probably far from optimistic.
Yang Liuqing turned her head toward her.
“If I had confidence, that would be the real miracle.”
Two A-Class Transcendents, and professional killers at that.
Their individual strength wasn’t below Chise Liequan’s—perhaps even stronger.
Working together, they were definitely more than the sum of their parts. Enemies like this were extremely troublesome.
Add the open terrain and their numbers being greater than one, and the Hound Body Movement wouldn’t be of much use.
Ke Ling withdrew her gaze and looked at Yang Liuqing.
“Master, at this stage, they’ll only be more dangerous.”
“True.”
Yang Liuqing lightly bit her lip.
The closer to the end, the higher the chance they’d stop acting like humans.
Once they were certain they couldn’t take her away, they’d definitely fry her first and kill her, then fry her again and kill her again.
That wasn’t going to happen—at most, they’d eat her heart as sashimi on the spot.
Just thinking about that image made Yang Liuqing shiver involuntarily.
For a person to turn back into a beast, there was no need to break any taboos or restraints; sufficient profit was enough.
“Master, no need to worry. If you really can’t hold on, we’ll help.”
Ke Ling gave her a reassurance.
“That would be great.”
Yang Liuqing said that, but the tension in her heart didn’t diminish much.
Because she knew that with the Lure the Tiger Away from the Mountain ploy exposed, all the hunters would come charging over.
The Tixianren and the Zhanzhengjiqi were merely the first to arrive.
Ke Li rubbed her fists eagerly, raring to go.
“Xiao Qingqing, hurry up and take them out, or more enemies will keep coming.”
The two little ones clearly didn’t feel much tension.
For them, a Hunt of this level was actually manageable.
The only thing worth worrying about were the true powerhouses hidden in the darkness, watching, yet to make a move.
This Hunt was far from being as simple as it appeared on the surface.
“Even if you say that, I still don’t feel confident.”
Yang Liuqing shrugged.
Right now, she just wanted to recover her Qi as soon as possible and regain her strength.
While the three were discussing their strategy, the Zhanzhengjiqi landed 10 meters away with a light motion.
The two Micro Jet Thrusters gradually shut down, and the noise quickly dissipated.
He reattached the devices to his waist, and the Tixianren, Luosi, jumped down from his shoulder.
She looked at Yang Liuqing and spoke with a smile:
“Dobre~ vecher~ Little Sweetheart~”
“Huh?”
Yang Liuqing only understood the three words “Little Sweetheart.”
Was the front part in the Russian Language?
“Xiao Qingqing, she seems to be calling you an idiot~”
Ke Li was just spouting nonsense.
“Master, she’s greeting you.”
Ke Ling gave Ke Li a knock on the head.
“Ouch, why did big sister hit me?”
The latter immediately clutched her head.
“Who cares what she means.”
Yang Liuqing gripped the Big Sword, staring at the girl who was as cute as a porcelain doll yet exuded a dangerous aura.
The Tixianren, Luosi.
“As you can see, two against one—the advantage is mine. Are you going to surrender directly and reduce your suffering, or fight with everything you’ve got?”
Her words carried a cloying sweetness, and a hint of false compassion.
The Zhanzhengjiqi’s eyes rotated, as if searching for something.
The main credit for locking onto this location so quickly went to Lu Xueyuan.
She had first detonated the factory bombs, kicking up a massive cloud of dust, then sold the Intelligence to Dian Jing, betraying their exact location.
With the final move played, all that was left was to wait for the result.
“Do you guys have a unified script? You tell me not to resist the moment we meet.”
Yang Liuqing curled her lips slightly, putting on a look of disdain.
In reality, she was full of vigilance.
“You Huaxia people have a saying: ‘You won’t shed tears until you see the coffin.'”
Luosi raised her chin, her smile still in place, yet there was no trace of laughter in her eyes.
The moment her words fell, the Zhanzhengjiqi, Zuozhi, turned his head back and spoke in a low voice:
“No accomplices found.”
“Is that so? Good.”
Luosi nodded slightly, stepped forward with her left foot, and spread her arms naturally.
“Since only Little Sweetheart is here, let’s finish this quickly. There are quite a few people behind us.”
“Yeah.”
The Zhanzhengjiqi confirmed repeatedly that there wasn’t the slightest unusual aura around.
Yang Liuqing had no backup.
At least for now, no such person existed.
“Let’s go.”
Luosi’s expression changed, her entire body shrouded in killing intent.
Zuozhi stepped out with large strides, cracking the cement floor beneath his feet, like a Modified Type 59 Tank charging at full speed.
