In desperation, Silver Fox slamd on the gas pedal, and the car hurtled through the desert at breakneck speed, racing wild.
Twenty kiloters was but the blink of an eye.
The off-road vehicles of Bai Hu's group were in no way a match for Silver Fox's rcedes-Benz G-Class, and in the blink of an eye, they were left without a trace behind.
In the endless sea of sand, one would surely get lost without a global positioning system. Compared to this vast desert, the car seed like a tiny boat upon the ocean.
"We're almost there." At this mont, Silver Fox was elated.
From the car's navigation system, she had already spotted Ghost's vehicle, which was fitted with a tracking device. The distance between them should now be less than five kiloters, and Silver Fox couldn't help but slam the accelerator again. The four wheels crazily crushed the sand, kicking up billowing dust clouds.
After ten minutes of mad rushing, she finally caught up with Ghost's black Land Cruiser.
Screech...
The car skidded to a halt, sliding sideways before blocking the Land Cruiser's path.
The two vehicles stood across from each other in the desert.
Silver Fox was the first to push open the door and jump out.
At the sa ti, the people in the Land Cruiser also opened their doors. In a flash, five or six people erged. All were ard, two guards wielding M4 rifles standard-issued to Arican soldiers, with grenades hanging at their waists, practically fully equipped for war.
Silver Fox sneered, "Put down your guns and surrender."
"Silver Fox, the one who should surrender is you," said a black-clothed Protector.
"Ghost, co out," Silver Fox stepped slowly towards their vehicle, not at all afraid of the gunn. Or rather, she knew the Fire Butterfly Organization all too well - these n wouldn't dare to shoot without Ghost's order.
At that mont, a black-clothed Protector opened the door, and Ghost, cloaked in black and wearing a black mask, erged.
Over 1.8 ters tall and quite burly, he held a Nine-section Whip, his eyes slightly murderous, though his face was indistinguishable. Ghost swept a cold glance at Silver Fox and asked, "Silver Fox, what are you trying to do?"
"What am I doing?" Silver Fox laughed. "Naturally, I'm here to negotiate sothing with you."
"What!" Ghost's voice was low and slightly hoarse.
"Hand over Fang Yuan," said Silver Fox bluntly, without beating around the bush.
"Hahaha..." Ghost suddenly burst into loud laughter.
Silver Fox frowned and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
"I laugh at your ignorance, at your naivety," Ghost suddenly stopped smiling and declared, "Fang Yuan is a mber of my Fire Butterfly, what right do you, Silver Fox, have to intervene?"
"Today I have to intervene no matter what," Silver Fox sneered in response.
"That's what you said," Ghost narrowed his eyes, saying, "We were supposed to keep to our own paths without interference. Since you're insistent on starting a feud with today, don't bla for being impolite."
After speaking, Ghost gestured, "Bring her to ."
Rustle...
Two fully ard n imdiately approached.
"Stop!" At that mont, Lin Chuan jumped down from the vehicle.
"Lin Chuan, it's you?" A smile appeared on Ghost's face, "Long ti no see."
"Indeed!" Lin Chuan nodded, "It's really been a long ti. I thought you were dead a few years ago. Since then, it seems we haven't t again."
Upon hearing this, a boundless rage flared in Ghost's eyes.
Grinding his teeth, he said, "Lin Chuan, I will kill you."
He couldn't forget the pain Lin Chuan had caused him, nor could he forget the horrific scene of waking up to wolves tearing at his flesh. That pain was indescribable. Agony was an understatent for his ordeal. Had he not had a strong will to overco the wolves in that situation, he might never have had the chance for revenge.
"You lost to once before, do you think you can beat this ti?" Lin Chuan retorted.
"No, I have never lost to you," Ghost clenched his teeth and said, "Last ti you just got lucky. This ti, I definitely will not lose to you."
"Haha, with just that whip skill of yours?" Lin Chuan laughed heartily.
"No!" Ghost shook his head, "It's because I am a disciple of the Luofu Sect."
The Luofu Sect, the darkest secret sect of the hidden world, is said to be filled with disciples emanating Yin Energy. They reside all year round in graveyards, traversing across ceteries to collect the world's Yin Energy, aiming to 'purify' their bodies. This is exactly the reason why Ghost emanates such strong Yin Energy and seems imperable.
"So you are from the Luofu Sect?!" Silver Fox exclaid in shock.
"Heh heh, didn't expect that, did you?" Ghost's mouth revealed a sinister smile.
"I really didn't expect you to be so corpse-eating freak." Silver Fox couldn't help but shrink her neck.
Clearly, they felt utterly horrified and terrified of the Luofu Sect. No matter who it was, anyone from the hidden world, upon the ntion of Luofu Sect, would be extrely fearful and would rather steer clear than provoke them.
"Lin Chuan, today you are undoubtedly going to die," Ghost said with a smug smile, fiercely lashing his Nine-section Whip.
Crack...
In mid-air, a cold gleam flashed by, instantly illuminating like a bolt of lightning.
Sss...
Silver Fox was greatly startled and said, "God, he... he has actually cultivated to such an extent."
"Be careful," Lin Chuan couldn't help but look solemn as well.
What Lin Chuan did not expect was that this guy had already broken through the Body Refining level and reached the Refining God realm. If the Body Refining realm allowed one to smash big rocks and lift objects weighing hundreds of pounds, then the Refining God realm would enable lifting massive stones and carrying a thousand pounds, not only greatly enhancing physical strength but also significantly boosting ntal strength. This was truly a qualitative leap - not just a quantitative change, but also a qualitative transformation.
Upon hearing this, Lin Chuan couldn't help but beco more serious. He was not worried about himself, but about Silver Fox. Silver Fox's power had always been at the Body Refining level. Breaking through to the Refining God level wouldn't be so easy. After all, it's a threshold; once crossed, one's future would be bright. But fail to cross, and you may never step into the hidden world for life.
Lin Chuan was recruited into the military just as the selection was taking place. With qualified aptitude, he managed to advance from the Body Refining level to the Refining God realm in his second year, becoming one of the young prodigies in the secret world. He improved by leaps and bounds. Because of this, Lin Chuan's power was almost unmatched in this world.
At that mont, Ghost laughed and said, "Lin Chuan, you are not worthy of my personal attention right now."
As he spoke, five or six n ard with guns had already surrounded the two of them.
Ghost's protector sneered and said, "Throw up your hands and surrender; maybe we'll leave you a whole corpse."
"Bullshit." Silver Fox glared at him and said, "You think you have more people than ?"
"Heh heh, having more people is the advantage," the protector sneered back.
Just then, the roar of large engines was heard approaching, as several off-road vehicles sped over. Before the vehicles even ca to a stop, more than twenty heavily-ard burly n leapt out from the vehicles, splitting into two groups, and sprinted on the sand, charging forward.
Over twenty n quickly surrounded the few mbers of the Fire Butterfly Organization.
White Fox reached the scene wearing a black camouflage suit, her hair tied back in a ponytail, a rifle slung over her shoulder, and imdiately said, "Chief, we've got them surrounded."
"You were the ones bragging about having more n, weren't you?" Silver Fox laughed. "Now why are you all silent?"
The opponents were unhurried, even when surrounded, still indifferent and composed.
"Silver Fox, you are always so clever. Why have you beco so foolish today?" Ghost's voice was hoarse, revealing a mocking tone in his words.
Silver Fox seed to sense sothing was wrong, she scoffed, "Ghost, quit your trickery. If you're capable, co out with so new tricks."
At that mont, the sound of engines ca from the air. They grew louder as they approached. Silver Fox imdiately slled a nervous scent in the air; she frowned, sensing sothing amiss. She hurriedly looked up and saw two helicopters slowly approaching in the sky. The helicopters circled overhead, and soon, black ropes were thrown down from the aircraft, reaching the ground. Then, dark figures descended from the sky.
Over two hundred fully-ard mbers of the Fire Butterfly Organization rapidly ford layers of enclosure, rendering the area completely inaccessible.
"Not good!" White Fox exclaid in alarm.
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. This move was calculated to perfection.
"I told you, today you're all going to die here," Ghost sneered.
"We'll see about that," Silver Fox's expression turned grim.
White Fox quickly brandished the long knife she had on her back. In such a chaotic scene, a gun battle was clearly no longer feasible. Now, it was ti for a lee. Around her, the over twenty warriors from the Fire Fox Organization also fixed bayonets onto their guns. Bayonets were particularly useful in street fighting, and once the fighting started, they would definitely co into play, which is why Fire Fox Organization mbers generally carried bayonets with them.
"Are you planning to resist to the end?" Ghost sneered.
"Bring it on," Silver Fox also drew her weapon.
Ghost revealed a sinister smile and said, "Since you wish to die, I'll grant you that. Attack."
Around them, over a hundred Fire Butterfly warriors quickly tightened the siege, and more than twenty warriors broke ranks, charging forward with their weapons. A lee erupted in the desert, with warriors from both sides being almost equally matched in strength. These warriors were mostly from residents of West Asia regions such as India, Pakistan, etc., who had been recruited into the organization, undergone half a year of training, and had to pass an assessnt before qualifying as competent warriors.
