Jiu Li's small face was tense. The moment Bill ran away, she swung her hand in a wide arc, seemingly intending to deliver a fatal blow to him before he could escape her control.
"Jiuli." Ye Xingchen called out to Jiuli and gently shook his head at her.
Jiu Li was taken aback, then understood Ye Xingchen's meaning and put her right hand down.
"He ran away?" Gu Manyun exclaimed anxiously, "We can't let the tiger return to the mountain."
"Don't worry, he can't escape. He's gone to find his accomplices now," Ye Xingchen said. "I'll follow him all the way and catch them all in one fell swoop."
Ye Xingchen took a step forward, leaping dozens of feet in an instant, and quickly disappeared into the night.
Without the slightest hesitation, Jiu Li followed Ye Xingchen's footsteps, leaving Gu Manyun standing there in a daze.
She paused for a moment, then suddenly realized that Ye Xingchen's statement that she was bait made a lot of sense; in a battle at this level, she couldn't get involved at all.
Bill leaped a few times and appeared on the back mountain. His two eyes were replaced by two huge holes, and blood was constantly seeping out of the empty eyes.
He fell face-first into an open space, causing ripples in the air. Then a grove of trees appeared, containing two men and two women.
These people are all from their squad. When they operate, one person usually carries out the mission while the others provide support.
Everyone was taken aback when they saw Bill fall from the barrier, and they all stood up.
One of the blue-eyed women rushed forward to check on Bill's condition. With her right hand, she made a grasping motion in the air, controlling some elements in an attempt to repair Bill's injured body.
But after trying several times, she shook her head in vain: "Bill... he used his strongest, and only, chance to attack his opponent, and his eyes were permanently lost."
“Vina, isn’t there any way? You are the inheritor of Augustus’s divine magic,” another blonde, blue-eyed girl asked anxiously.
"I'm sorry, Delis, the Augustan divine magic I inherited is originally the healing light from the Statue of Liberty."
Vena shook her head, saying apologetically, "The divine magic I can comprehend now is less than one ten-thousandth of the Statue of Liberty's."
“I can heal wounds, temporarily restore strength to someone who has exhausted their power, and prolong the life of someone on the verge of death… but I haven’t reached the ‘domain’ of divine magic, so I can’t make his lost eyes grow back.”
“Bill…” The girl named Delis hugged the unconscious Bill, her expression filled with grief: “Who did this to you? I will avenge you.”
"Go...everyone, get out of here right now." Bill, who had been unconscious, suddenly snapped back to reality.
His body was taut, and he roared hysterically, "That man's strength far exceeds ours. We are no match for him. Let's go now!"
“Bill…” A blond man stepped forward, trying to calm him down.
However, Bill is currently under immense pressure and emotionally broken; he is on the verge of going berserk.
Left with no other option, the blond man gently tapped Bill's forehead with his right hand and murmured, "Almighty Lord, please calm him down."
A golden light surged into Bill's consciousness, and Bill immediately calmed down.
His eyes were vacant, constantly oozing blood, and he was breathing heavily, like an ox exhausted from plowing the fields.
“Bill, what happened?” Delis asked with concern as she stepped forward.
“Our target this time… is very powerful.” Bill said through gritted teeth, “We’ve been tricked. The person who hired us doesn’t want us to eliminate the enemy, but to hold them off to buy him time… We must get out of here immediately, or he will come in and kill us all.”
"Hehe, Bill, what are you talking about?" The usually taciturn black man chuckled and said, "We are now within the angelic realm I have created. My realm can isolate everything around us from the outside."
"He can't find us at all. We're safest here. On the contrary, if we try to escape now, we'll be discovered, which would be extremely disadvantageous for us. Do you understand?"
“No, your domain is no secret in the face of his power. We must leave immediately, immediately.” Bill was extremely agitated.
“Let’s listen to Bill. God knows what he’s been through,” Vena murmured. She closed her eyes, stretched out her right hand, and a wisp of green light condensed at her fingertips, flowing into Bill’s body.
Bill injured himself when he used his ultimate skill, while Vena's power allows her to draw life from plants and convert it into energy for healing. Although she can't make Bill's eyes grow back, she can at least restore some of his power.
“We…we’re leaving right away.” Bill composed himself and stood up.
"Leave? It's probably too late now." A cold laugh rang out, and then their domain was suddenly torn open. Immediately afterwards, a figure descended from the sky; it was Ye Xingchen who had arrived.
"He's coming?" Bill roared. "Everyone, get ready for battle, prepare to fight..."
The five people quickly stood up and took their positions.
These five individuals possess supernatural abilities, reaching the entry-level level of Western cultivators. Moreover, they are adept at both offense and defense, and Vena uses healing magic to enhance their combat power and mental strength, making their teamwork seamless.
The only time they were deployed in full force was to assassinate a high-ranking international figure, because the other party's security forces were so strong that they had no choice but to mobilize all their forces.
However, they never expected that this time when they came to China, the opponent's mere one person would be enough to mobilize their entire five-person team.
"Is everyone in your group here?" Ye Xingchen turned his head and glanced at Bill.
"How did you catch up with me? Even though I was injured, I can still perform spatial jumps. There's no way you could have followed my scent to get here!" Bill was both shocked and furious.
His spatial jumps are completely unpredictable; if he wants to escape, there are few people in the world who can catch him.
Moreover, he had tried his best to hide his tracks when he ran away, but he did not expect Ye Xingchen to catch up so quickly.
"In your eyes, you've hidden yourself very well, but in my eyes, you're full of flaws." Ye Xingchen shook his head: "Your system doesn't work here in China, so it's normal that I was able to find you."
