791: Chapter 791: Hitting an Iron Plate 791: Chapter 791: Hitting an Iron Plate Linghu Baii and her subordinates, the “Wrathful Beauties,” clearly approached the assassination of Huo Niao with utmost confidence.
However, they didn’t know that the villa ahead was like a dragon’s den or a tiger’s lair for them, once they entered, the outco was likely to be a one-way trip.
Fang Bai had no intention of reminding Linghu Baii, thinking that letting her suffer a setback and learn a harsh lesson might actually be good for her.
Around one o’clock in the morning, Linghu Baii, who was hiding in the shadows, checked the ti and a determined look flashed in her eyes.
She turned to a female martial artist beside her and said, “The ti has co!
Notify the sisters, begin the operation!”
The female martial artist nodded, and whispered into her headset, “Move out!”
In an instant, dozens of dark shadows appeared from the corners of darkness around the villa, each one as light and silent as a cat, pouncing towards the villa ahead, exuding a dense killing Qi.
Linghu Baii found it puzzling that this villa was an important branch of the “Statue of Liberty” organization.
There should have been so defensive forces around the villa, and they had prepared for battle accordingly.
But strangely, as they approached the villa’s high walls, they did not encounter any interception, not even a single silhouette could be seen.
This was highly abnormal.
A sense of alertness rose in Linghu Baii’s heart, but at this point, they had to proceed as the arrow was already on the string.
After a mont of hesitation, Linghu Baii gritted her teeth and led dozens of her subordinates over the wall into the villa courtyard.
The lights were on in the living room of the villa.
Through the curtains, one could vaguely see several people talking inside.
To ensure the successful assassination of Huo Niao, Linghu Baii had previously conducted a thorough investigation into Huo Niao, knowing that he was a ta-Human with innate abilities to control Fire Primordial Qi.
As soon as she landed in the courtyard, she sensed the fluctuations of Fire Primordial Qi from one of the people in the living room and knew that the person was Huo Niao.
“Quick battle, quick decision!
Go!”
A cold glint flashed in Linghu Baii’s beautiful eyes as she shouted and rushed toward the villa first.
The dozens of “Wrathful Beauties” mbers flitted around and quickly surrounded the villa on all sides.
Linghu Baii wasn’t worried about traps inside or outside the villa; among her subordinates, there were many Earth Level Martial Artists.
Against this force, she believed any trap would be like a paper tiger, easily destroyed by them.
Linghu Baii rushed to the villa’s door, about to break in, when suddenly the door opened, and a young man with red hair strode out, roaring loudly and throwing a punch directly at Linghu Baii.
As he threw the punch, the air seed to broil with intense heat, as if a blast of fierce fire was sweeping towards her, threatening to singe every hair on a person’s body.
“Huo Niao!”
Linghu Baii, sensing the profound concentration of Fire Primordial Qi in his punch, knew that he was Isabella’s most capable assistant, and their target, Huo Niao.
Linghu Baii and Huo Niao were on the sa level of strength.
However, because she possessed both Innate Water and Fire Spiritual Roots, her combat power was even slightly stronger than Huo Niao’s.
Unperturbed by the surprise, she saw Huo Niao’s fist coming and snorted coldly.
Water Elent Qi gathered in her right palm, eting Huo Niao’s fist head-on.
Boom—
As palm t fist, the opposing forces of Water and Fire Qi burst outward, colliding fiercely with an explosive roar that shook the large villa to its core.
Linghu Baii’s delicate body trembled, her clothes fluttered wildly, and her hair flew about as she was forced to stagger back five or six steps.
Huo Niao fared even worse, his form was thrown backwards into the air, and if not for being caught by soone inside the villa, he would have likely crashed into the wall behind him.
The first collision with Huo Niao was clearly one where Linghu Baii had the upper hand.
However, Linghu Baii couldn’t muster any happiness; instead, her pretty face grew even more panicked and fearful.
Because she saw that the one who had caught Huo Niao was a silver-haired young girl.
That silver-haired girl appeared to be only fourteen or fifteen, dressed in a purple gossar gown, with silver hair cascading down like a waterfall to her waist.
Her large eyes were as clear and bright as sapphires, emitting a profound and intelligent light.
The silver-haired girl’s eyebrows were slender, her nose was straight and pretty, and her lips were as fresh as petals.
She had a sacred and noble aura, as if an angel had descended to earth, exuding a dominion over all, like a queen who reigns supre.
“Isabella!
How could she be here?”
Linghu Baii looked in disbelief at the silver-haired girl stepping out of the villa, her heart filled with fear and despair.
At that mont, she no longer contemplated assassinating Huo Niao, but imdiate escape.
Isabella, the leader of the “Statue of Liberty,” possessed the strength of a Heaven Level Martial Artist and could wield the formidable power of lightning.
She was way out of her league.
If she didn’t flee at once, she might even have to leave her life behind.
If she had known that Isabella and Huo Niao were together, Linghu Baii would never have embarked on this assassination attempt.
Linghu Baii knew that there had been a mistake in the intelligence work of her subordinates; they hadn’t managed to detect that Isabella was in this villa in ti.
Of course, one couldn’t entirely bla the subordinates responsible for intelligence gathering, since tracking the movents of a Heaven Level Expert like Isabella, who could co and go without trace, was not easy.
“Haha, who dares to cause trouble at your ‘Statue of Liberty’s’ branch?
They must have the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard!”
The man who walked out of the villa with Isabella, also wearing a black robe, was a middle-aged Caucasian man.
His gaze swept over Linghu Baii and the others as he laughed heartily.
“Oh no, he’s here too?
It’s over!
We’ve really hit a wall this ti!”
Seeing the robed Caucasian man, Linghu Baii gasped again, her heart sinking further into despair.
The robed Caucasian man was Sardin, the leader of the “Holy Temple,” one of the world’s seven major ta-Human organizations, hailing from Europa.
Sardin’s power was equal to Isabella’s at the Heaven Level, another terrifying figure who struck fear into the hearts of many.
It was said that the “Statue of Liberty” and “Holy Temple,” two major ta-Human organizations, had joined forces and ford an alliance.
Now that Linghu Baii and her associates had co to assassinate Huo Niao, Sardin would naturally stand with Huo Niao.
One Isabella was more than they could handle, not to ntion the addition of a Sardin.
“Retreat!”
Knowing the assassination was a lost cause, Linghu Baii shouted sharply, issuing the command to retreat, as she quickly backed away, rushing toward the high wall on the side of the villa.
Dozens of “Wrathful Beauties” mbers also retreated in all directions at the sa ti.
“Leave that woman to !
You go after the others!
Humph, I want to see who is so bold as to offend our ‘Statue of Liberty’s’ people!”
A cold light shot from Isabella’s sapphire-like eyes, she said to Huo Niao.
Then, with her staff striking the ground, she lifted off and chased after Linghu Baii.
