The programrs were stunned.
The black-clad figure stood in place, with his hands clasped over the two short daggers at his waist, his face half-covered, his pupils sowhat erald green. With a whirl of his blade, Sui Yi gave the man’s Bone Sword a sheen akin to that of tal scraping against tal.
The light was blinding; he instinctively closed his eyes, when suddenly...
Whoosh!
The Black-robed Man slightly retreated, confronting Yue Beiqing’s Soft Sword...
Clang!
The Soft Sword was repelled by a green light.
But the Black-robed Man only felt a chill in his chest...
Sui Yi’s Demon Que had already sliced through the skin over his chest.
Thump!
He knelt on the ground, while Sui Yi stood atop a stone pier by the staircase handrail.
Yue Beiqing spun mid-air and landed, looking out at another black-clad figure standing on the grass outside.
Three formidable beings, each facing off against the three of them.
The Imperial Guards faced off against the Death Soldiers.
To continue?
Yi Chilian twirled the curved blade in her hand and said, "You’ve already probed that I’m no ordinary person, are you satisfied now?"
The Black-robed Man and the man with the twin daggers remained silent, but the figure outside spoke up, "The mission is complete, let’s withdraw."
Whoosh!
These figures swiftly withdrew from the villa, then...
Yue Beiqing and the others’ expressions changed.
Mission complete, what does that an?
Sui Yi looked up at the sky, "That eagle up there just cried out."
An eagle?
Yue Beiqing ran to the edge of the grass, staring at the sky that was showing its belly white, where an eagle was circling.
"What does their mission complete an?" Hamr, injured, ran up and asked.
Yue Beiqing looked at Yi Chilian,
Sui Yi realized in his heart, it looked like Yi Chilian was the highest commander for this operation?
Were Xiao Yu and Yue Beiqing the subordinates?
Or perhaps... Yue Beiqing and Yi Chilian belonged to two different departnts, one in the light and one in the dark...
"They have already obtained the Rongwei Armor hidden in villa number four..."
Yi Chilian’s eyebrows pressed down slightly, "And they have tested out our arrangents and strength, naturally, they’ve completed their mission."
Pausing for a mont, both Yi Chilian’s and Yue Beiqing’s wristwatches rang.
Both n looked down and their faces turned stern.
"Sothing’s happened at villa number one"
Sothing happened?
Sui Yi’s breath tightened, "Pu Qinghan? Su Zimu?"
The two n said nothing.
——————————
Villa number one, the place Sui Yi considered a trap for the prey, was now filled with an air of gloom and despair.
As Sui Yi entered, he saw many people either unconscious or just coming to.
Gong Jiu was among those injured and in a daze.
However, Su Zimu and Pu Qinghan had vanished without a trace.
Of course, it wasn’t just the two of them who were missing.
At least five people were missing from the living room alone!
"Su Zimu, Pu Qinghan, Li Cuiyu, Cao Yu, Duan Rong, Old Master, Fu Ling, Ming Lanyuan are all missing," Bai Ruiqi reported with a pale face to Yue Beiqing.
To have so many people taken away silently right under their noses... Bai Ruiqi felt they might as well be dead.
Yue Beiqing frowned, "What’s going on, how could we lose so many people at once, didn’t you notice anything?"
"No, so brothers are dead or knocked out, almost no one saw who took action, it was just a matter of monts before the others succeeded," he explained.
From Yue Beiqing’s face, it was clear that among those taken, there were definitely not only those whom both parties wanted silenced, but also valuable individuals!
Like Su Zimu, or Cao Yu, and others...
Nonetheless, Yue Beiqing and Yi Chilian appeared quite calm, with the latter lightly asking, "What about Lin Junyun?"
"Dead, upstairs," Bai Ruiqi pointed upward, speaking, "She’s the only one dead in this room... the others are missing, and she’s the only dead one so far."
"Because she wasn’t of much value?" Yi Chilian murmured coldly but then noticed that Sui Yi was standing in front of Gong Jiu.
In other words, Gong Jiu was left behind—could it be because he had value worth keeping?
Everyone looked at Gong Jiu.
After Shen Que’s example, they really couldn’t easily trust anyone from the inside, especially since Gong Jiu wasn’t one of their own.
Sui Yi’s hand touched Gong Jiu’s face, gently brushing by her eyes, his expression relaxed a little. He then pressed on a few of her acupoints before ordering soone to bring a cup of water, which he gave her to drink.
Gong Jiu jolted slightly more awake, grasping Sui Yi’s hand after seeing him, and said, "Sui Yi, I failed to protect them."
"It’s alright..." Sui Yi patted her head.
"Did you see that person?"
"No, her face was covered. I only know it was a woman, with a good figure, but she sprayed sothing at and I was powerless... After that, I seed to hear her say sothing to ."
"What did she say?"
"If they can’t find the weapons by sunset, to let you use weapons to exchange for people. Similarly, if you can’t get the weapons for an exchange before the day is over, they will..."
Gong Jiu stopped speaking.
Sui Yi understood. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welco to co to Qidian (qidian) to vote for recomndation tickets, monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please read on m.qidian.)
