Facing two Earth-grade powerhouses, Qiangwei was clearly struggling, her entire being suppressed.
Though her opponents were two newly appointed Cardinal Bishops, she herself had only recently broken through. It could be said that neither side had fully mastered their Earth-grade powers.
However, in this situation, having an extra person on the opposing side gave them a distinct advantage, leaving Qiangwei in an increasingly desperate state.
Meanwhile, the fifty-odd assassins watched the two Cardinal Bishops display their might, clapping and cheering as if witnessing a breathtaking spectacle!
"Damn it, don't you have any missions?"
"Why aren't you storming the base and eliminating everyone from the Death Squad!"
Just then, the voice of a Cardinal Bishop boomed through the air.
Their enemies were not just Qiangwei before them, but the entire Death Squad, especially the world-class hacker, Viper.
Were these assassins expecting them to make a move?
If so, what was the point of having these assassins?
Hearing the Cardinal Bishop's voice, the faces of the numerous assassins changed. They dared not disobey the Cardinal Bishop's orders and began to charge towards the base.
Not good!
Seeing this scene, Qiangwei's heart burned with anxiety, but she was powerless, constantly tied down by the two Cardinal Bishops.
At this moment, she remembered the Qiankun Pouch that Ye Cangtian had given her.
The next moment, she quickly called out softly, "Qiankun Pouch, help me..."
"Hahaha..."
Though her cry was soft, the two Cardinal Bishops fighting Qiangwei heard it clearly.
Their attacks paused for a moment, and they immediately let out contemptuous laughter.
"Little girl, are you crazy? Is it useful to beg a pouch?"
"Exactly, you'd be better off begging me, maybe I'll agree..."
The two Cardinal Bishops were about to mock her further when, in the very next instant, their eyes glazed over.
The Qiankun Pouch on Qiangwei's wrist emitted a peculiar radiance, and the moisture in the air condensed, instantly forming countless water arrows around them.
Swish, swish, swish...
The water arrows shot out in all directions. The dozen or so Profound-grade assassins who had just charged towards the base entrance found blood erupting from their bodies as they were pierced through.
In an instant, the base entrance became a living hell, and everyone was stunned.
"I quit!"
Finally, a voice roared from one of the assassins, instantly igniting everyone's fear.
Those Profound-grade assassins immediately turned and fled rapidly towards the outer perimeter of the island.
It was a joke. Within an instant, over a dozen people were killed. With a few more rounds of attacks, they wouldn't be enough to be killed!
Assassins took on missions for money, but if their lives were gone, what use was the money?
Phew!
Watching the assassins flee, Qiangwei finally felt a sense of relief. At least her brothers inside the base were safe.
"What should we do?"
On the other side, the two bishops had also regained their senses. One of them asked his companion.
These water arrows, both in their attack power and speed, had reached Earth-grade levels. Constantly defending against these water arrows while fighting Qiangwei put them at a significant disadvantage.
But if they were to retreat like this, what about the mission?
He found it difficult to decide.
"Retreat!"
His companion next to him immediately blurted out a single word before turning to run.
The opponent's water arrow attacks were too bizarre. Before they fully understood the Qiankun Pouch's capabilities, it was best not to act rashly.
The best course of action now was to return to the cruise ship, gather the three Cardinal Bishops, and discuss countermeasures together.
"You want to leave after coming here? Did you ask me?"
Seeing their retreating figures, Qiangwei coldly shouted and resolutely pursued them.
...
By the seaside.
When the fleeing assassins rushed to the beach and were about to jump into the sea, they spotted a bright light approaching from the distant sea.
Upon closer inspection, it was the cruise ship they had arrived on.
Instantly, all the assassins became excited. In their eyes, this cruise ship was coming to pick them up and take them home, and boarding it meant safety.
The two Cardinal Bishops who had followed closely, however, wore looks of confusion.
This was not part of their plan. Had the cruise ship discovered their failure and rushed to provide support?
There was indeed such a possibility. Perhaps these assassins had managed to contact the cruise ship during their retreat.
With this thought, the two Cardinal Bishops exchanged glances and decided to wait.
This was for the best. The three Cardinal Bishops could then discuss their countermeasures on the spot, and perhaps even launch a surprise counterattack.
"Hmph! Are you stopping here to wait for death?"
Just then, a cold voice cut through the air, and Qiangwei appeared behind them.
For a moment, all the assassins were struck with terror, cold sweat dripping from their foreheads. The scene of hell at the base entrance was still replaying in their minds.
Seeing Qiangwei now was more terrifying than seeing a ghost.
"Little sister, is your eyesight failing?"
"Don't you see the cruise ship behind us docking soon?"
"To tell you the truth, there are two more Cardinal Bishops on the cruise ship. If they arrive, you'll have no escape!"
One of the Cardinal Bishops said.
He didn't misspeak; he deliberately added an extra Cardinal Bishop to make Qiangwei sufficiently wary, forcing her to retreat and giving them ample time to strategize.
"Heh."
Qiangwei chuckled coldly and said indifferently, "You only came with three Cardinal Bishops in total, and I bet you that the third Cardinal Bishop is already dead. The cruise ship you're waiting for will be your nightmare tonight!"
Qiangwei had absolute faith in Ye Cangtian's strength.
Even if Ye Cangtian missed these people during his operation, the people on the cruise ship would not be so lucky.
Now that the cruise ship was approaching, it was clear that Ye Cangtian had returned victorious.
"Hmph! Stop bluffing! We'll see whose nightmare it is!"
The Cardinal Bishop snorted. When they landed, they hadn't seen any action from the Death Squad against the yacht. How could the yacht possibly be in trouble?
Hearing this, Qiangwei showed a cold smile, not arguing, and simply stood there, quietly waiting for the yacht to dock.
Seeing Qiangwei act this way, the Cardinal Bishop also wore a cold smile.
Since the other party wasn't leaving, they would wait for the yacht to dock, and with their combined strength, they would deal with her.
"What's going on? Where are the people!"
As time ticked by and the yacht drew nearer, someone finally noticed something was amiss.
On the yacht, apart from the person in the cockpit piloting it, there was not a single figure to be seen anywhere else. If not for seeing that person, they would have thought it was a ghost ship.
"What!"
The Cardinal Bishops had clearly also noticed the problem, and they exchanged glances, their eyes beginning to flicker.
However, in the very next moment, a figure emerged from the yacht's cabin.
When they saw this figure, their legs trembled inexplicably, almost collapsing to the ground.
It was China's Ye Cangtian.
They couldn't fathom why Ye Cangtian would be on the yacht.
However, they had come to believe Qiangwei's words.
Ye Cangtian's appearance likely signaled that their companions on the yacht had already met their demise...
