Nine-Colored Lotus

Chapter 177 Mu Hanqi, Who Fears No Death

Both were peak powerhouses. With just one or two pieces of information and observing the situation, they had laid out their plan.

However, they still didn't know what their plan was.

"Alright, let's go out first."

Ye Longlin stretched his neck, pulled out a dagger, and turned to look at the fifteen people surrounding them.

From their movements and skilled stances, it was evident that these fifteen individuals formed a well-trained unit. Ordinary people would never be able to hire such a team.

Yuan Gang nodded. The two exchanged a look, their martial energy erupting in an instant, their bodies moving like lightning.

The moment they revealed themselves, Ghost Blade continuously pulled the trigger, having predicted their positions.

But in the next second, through the sniper scope, they inexplicably changed their direction. The bullets landed on the ground.

"How is this possible! This doesn't conform to evasion. How did they change their body's direction while charging out?"

Ghost Blade was shocked. While he could control his body to this extent, he couldn't achieve it as smoothly as they did.

"This is trouble. Anyone who can do this is definitely a Martial King, a king among martial artists. Whatever, it has nothing to do with me. If they die, they die. They're just cannon fodder anyway."

With that, he quickly put away his rifle and left, unwilling to linger there any longer.

"You think you can just come and go as you please? It's not that simple."

A sudden voice appeared behind him. A woman in a white robe materialized behind him.

Ghost Blade's expression turned grim, his eyes radiating danger.

"S-class war criminal, Ghost Blade."

"You finally showed yourselves."

Xuan Niao wore a white robe that accentuated her curvaceous figure. In her hand was a short blade, giving her an air of heroic spirit.

Ghost Blade looked at Xuan Niao, gritting his teeth. "Xuan Niao!"

With Xuan Niao's arrival, his chances of escaping today were slim. He truly hadn't expected Xuan Niao to appear at Long Ge. This was not in line with Long Ge's usual conduct!

"Don't you consider Long Ge's safety? Two of the Dragon Pavilion's Masters and Four Heavenly Kings appearing in Star City. I'm curious, why are you all swarming into Star City like this?"

He knew he wasn't a match for Xuan Niao's abilities. It was no use thinking about it. Although he was a martial artist, he was merely a Grandmaster, and it had taken him thirty years to reach this level.

As for them, they were already figures he looked up to in his early twenties.

Xuan Niao looked at him coldly. "You don't need to worry about that. What you should be considering is how you want to die."

At the crossroads, Ye Longlin and Yuan Gang's speed had reached its limit, leaving trails of afterimages in the air, dazzling the eyes.

Violent killing had transformed into art in their hands. The extreme artistry of violence made the bloody scene appear somewhat beautiful, bizarre and gory.

His dagger slit across a throat, drawing a splash of blood. Then, blood gushed out, pooling on the ground as if forming a bloody lake. The stench of blood was nauseating.

Lin Tianai watched this scene, her face turning ashen. She couldn't help but kneel on the ground and vomit.

In the distance, Mu Hanqi ran over, panting, sweat beading on her forehead. Although Ye Longlin had left her behind, she had driven herself over.

Her thoughts were quite simple. In her heart, falling for Ye Longlin was already a betrayal of Lin Tianai. Now that Lin Tianai was under attack, as her best friend, her presence here was to provide comfort and mutual care.

Ye Longlin and Yuan Gang would surely be occupied dealing with the enemies, leaving Lin Tianai alone would not be very safe.

After that, her thought was to help Ye Longlin block bullets.

"Tianai, are you alright? Are you hurt? What's happening!"

Mu Hanqi rushed over and saw Lin Tianai retching, asking anxiously, her eyes fixed on her friend.

Lin Tianai wiped her mouth and looked at her in surprise. "Mu Mu? Why did you come here? It's very dangerous, hurry and leave!"

Mu Hanqi shook her head. "Let me help you, let's get out of here."

With that, she reached out to support Lin Tianai, stubbornly helping her up. The two figures appeared quite disheveled.

"Bang bang bang!"

Bullets whizzed by. Yuan Gang and Ye Longlin weaved through the hail of bullets, and streaks of blood bloomed.

"Ah—"

Lin Tianai suddenly cried out and fell forward. Mu Hanqi, her balance compromised, fell with her.

Ye Longlin glanced back, but his actions did not falter. His dagger once again slit across someone's throat, blood gushing out.

Lin Tianai's calf was hit by a ricocheting bullet, bleeding profusely.

"I'll leave this to you."

Ye Longlin quickly disengaged from the battle. With five people remaining, he left them all to Yuan Gang.

Those men were not foolish. Upon witnessing their combat prowess, they began to fire their weapons while seeking cover.

Ye Longlin arrived beside the two women. He took one look and directly tore at a black stocking, frowning. "Take off your stockings."

The two women were stunned. Was he really in the mood to appreciate legs in this situation?

"Hurry!"

Ye Longlin roared. A bullet struck the ground, creating a ricocheting staircase of debris, sending shrapnel flying. This was a ricochet.

Such a situation was rare and unlikely to occur. Usually, it happened either because the bullet was too fragile, with low copper content, or because it struck an extremely hard object.

Lin Tianai, feeling wronged, removed her stocking. Sweat beaded on her forehead from the pain.

Ye Longlin did not hesitate. His rough hands grazed her thigh, causing Lin Tianai's face to blush.

No one had ever touched her legs in all these years...

Her legs were straight and slender, arguably perfect in shape, but now they were bleeding profusely.

The stocking was pulled taut and tied around her thigh, slowing the blood flow.

"An ambulance shouldn't be too far away. It's not too serious, no soft tissue damage. However, you definitely won't be able to walk for a while. Just wait for rescue here."

After speaking, Ye Longlin returned to the battlefield. During this time, Yuan Gang had already dealt with the remaining five men.

Xuan Niao's white robe fluttered gracefully, giving her an imposing aura, a touch of heroism in her gaze.

"S-class war criminal Ghost Blade. The intelligence network didn't detect their arrival in Star City; they must have been disguised."

Xuan Niao threw him to the ground. Just then, sounds of sirens echoed as Xu Dengui arrived with his team, followed by ambulances.

"Mr. Ye, are you alright?"

Upon arrival, Xu Dengui immediately rushed out and hurried to Ye Longlin's side, asking anxiously.

He knew that Ye Longlin was an envoy. If anything happened to him, it would truly be a disaster.

Ye Longlin shook his head. "Quickly assess the casualties on the scene. Send the survivors to the hospital immediately. Lin Tianai was hit by a stray bullet; take her for surgery."

However, at that moment, a still-conscious armed assailant looked at Ye Longlin and pulled the trigger.

Mu Hanqi happened to see him raising his pistol. Her face suddenly changed, and she screamed, "Careful!!"

"Bang!"

A splash of blood bloomed on Mu Hanqi's body!
