As dusk descended again.
The distant Jiangning City was already brilliantly lit.
The dazzling colors of the tall buildings naturally distracted from the wilderness beyond.
Far off, a convoy slowly entered an abandoned factory filled with weeds.
The leading luxury off-road vehicle’s door opened, and the robust Wang Hu stepped out.
The rest of the dozen or so stout n also got out of their vehicles.
All of them looked puzzled as they watched the officer who was already waiting there.
"Boss, you’ve worked hard!"
The person responsible for the reception imdiately hurried over.
"Why arrange to et here?"
Wang Hu frowned deeply as he looked around.
Their plan had been to split into several groups to avoid drawing too much attention and getting spotted.
Only then would they regroup upon reaching Jiangning and launch their attack directly on Phoenix Building.
But the person in charge of the reception had insisted they et here.
Looking at that desolate place, Wang Hu felt decidedly uncomfortable.
"Boss, there’s been a change in Jiangning, it seems like they know about our operation."
The liaison lowered his voice mysteriously, "The teams that arrived before us were inexplicably detained by the officials, and there’s still no word on them, so I felt sothing was off, hence the change of location."
"Detained by the officials!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Hu’s brow furrowed even tighter.
"Yes, the crackdown by the officials is harsh, and many of our brothers have cases against them. It’s likely that once they go in this ti, it’d be hard to get out, so maybe we should just let it go and not push our luck here. After all, Phoenix Building now controls all of Jiangning City. It would be dangerously easy for our n to get trapped once they move further in!"
The liaison looked anxiously at Wang Hu, who clenched his fists tightly.
Many who had arrived earlier were key players and included several faction leaders from Lin City.
He hadn’t expected them all to be captured.
This was a fatal blow to him.
"How dare she ss with my people! I will make her pay dearly!"
Wang Hu’s eyes were red with rage.
But as they were stunned, the factory gate slowly closed.
"Boom!"
With the sound of the iron gate clashing, they snapped back to reality.
They saw a middle-aged man holding a knife, his expression cold as he regarded the people in front of him.
"You... who are you!"
The sudden appearance of the man put everyone under inexplicable pressure.
Especially his sword, the chill from it made several martial artists feel like they were facing a formidable opponent.
"Who I am doesn’t matter, after all, I’m not the main character tonight. But I can assure you, no one will leave here alive."
Shangguan Qingyun’s voice was ice-cold.
He was here to support, but he couldn’t act imdiately.
After all, the main character of the night had slowly walked out from the factory.
"Wang Hu, you should rember who I am, right?"
ng Yao, pushing Lin Fan in front of her, stared intently at Wang Hu.
The icy resolve in her gaze truly sent a chill through one’s spine.
"ng Yao... to think that you dared to show up in front of after I lost so many of my top n because of you!"
Wang Hu squinted his eyes, having expected that it would be Lu Feifei who’d appear.
He never imagined that it would instead be the very target he had repeatedly failed to assassinate.
"Tell , who sent you to kill ? If you confess honestly about who ordered my death, I might be able to make your suffering a little less painful!"
ng Yao was eager to know why Wang Hu had been pursuing her.
After all, she used to be just a minor figure in Jiangning.
Why would a group of assassins target her.
The most likely possibility was that it could lead to clues about her mysterious mother.
"Little girl, aren’t you afraid the wind might catch your tongue? Do you think propping up a useless man will help you look impressive? Since I have accepted the job, I must complete it—that’s my professional integrity. Today, you’ve co right to my doorstep, so I’ll use your head to finish my mission!"
Wang Hu snorted coldly and turned to look at Shangguan Qingyun.
Seeing that he still made no move, the anxiety in his heart finally subsided.
If he could just focus on dealing with the powerless Ning ngyao first, he could handle the other later.
"You don’t have many chances, so you’d better think carefully before you answer!"
Ning ngyao faced him with a cold expression.
If this were before, she indeed wouldn’t have any way to deal with such burly n.
But now, these thugs were rely a piece of cake for her.
"This is my answer!"
Wang Hu snorted coldly and drew a dagger from his waist.
Incredibly, from ten ters away, he threw it straight at Ning ngyao.
The dagger, carried by the wind, reached her in a re blink of an eye.
Unfortunately, Ning ngyao simply tilted her head slightly, and the dagger brushed past her hair and landed on the ground far away.
"Is that all?"
Without even glancing at the dagger, Ning ngyao’s eyes stayed fixed on Wang Hu.
The disdain in her eyes was deep and scornful.
"Kill her for !"
Not expecting his flying dagger skill to be dodged, Wang Hu shouted loudly.
The dozen or so burly n behind him then pulled out their weapons and charged at Ning ngyao with large strides.
As Wang Hu’s last resort, these were top-selected assassins.
At this mont, there was no pity for beauty, nor any reservations because she was a woman.
The silent n were all rigorously trained.
Once they started, they would not stop.
"Puff!"
But before they could even reach her, Ning ngyao had already made her move.
In the air, afterimages flickered, and the first two to charge were instantly sent flying five to six ters with a punch.
Though their heads did not explode, they were completely deford.
As they fell to the ground, they didn’t even have a chance to scream and died on the spot.
"Tough ones!"
This single strike made the rest realize the imnse discrepancy in strength.
Although they were puzzled why the ordinary person described in their data could be so formidable.
But as instinctive fighters, they imdiately scattered to the sides.
At this mont, fleeing surpassed everything else in importance.
"Hey, I told you you can’t leave!"
They were fast, but they were no match for Shangguan Qingyun’s speed.
As the Sword Qi from his right hand whistled toward the crowd on the left, his figure had already reached the right side.
The mont his blade glead coldly, three n had their throats brutally cut.
The next mont, he was already soaring in the air, shooting toward another group of n.
Following Ning ngyao’s directive, no one would have a chance to leave alive tonight.
"Puf! Puf! Puf!"
Blood splattered, and in monts more than a dozen n were slain on the ground.
As the instigator of everything, Shangguan Qingyun still stood with his sword by the side.
His indifferent eyes watched Wang Hu, who was sweating profusely.
Aside from this man, everyone else had already been sent to hell.
At this mont, Ning ngyao also began walking toward Wang Hu step by step.
"Wang Hu, I hope your mouth is tough enough, otherwise I’ll be disappointed!"
