Su Luo seemed unmoved by what he heard, as if he had expected everything.
"So what do we do now?" Yang Zijin asked anxiously. He could use his speed to leave this place, but since the other party dared to launch such a blatant attack, they must have a backup plan.
Su Luo could also have thought of this.
There must be people lying in ambush inside this hotel right now. If they exit through the main entrance, whether by elevator or stairs, they're guaranteed to encounter the enemy. Therefore…
"They wanted me to just run away with my head in my hands, but I refused to do as they wished."
If she really runs away in disgrace this time, her reputation on Nine Stars will vanish instantly.
Thinking of this, Su Luo stood up indifferently, patted the dust off his clothes, and strolled leisurely as if he were walking in the street to the spot where the floor-to-ceiling window had been. One more step forward and there was the night sky above.
It was also because of this perspective that Su Luo discovered that a number of strange creatures had gathered around the hotel to watch the excitement, and some were hiding in the shadows, staring intently at the battle in front of them.
"Young Master Su, the Divine Doctor Su?"
Seeing Su Luo relaxed and natural, the visitor was not surprised, but simply asked to confirm Su Luo's identity.
"Yes, it's me."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a piercing gunshot rang out, the frequency of which was so high that it even formed a vortex of airflow.
However, the vortex did indeed shrink and slow down as the bullet approached Su Luo, eventually stopping just ten centimeters in front of him, unable to move forward even an inch.
The assassin in the helicopter paused for a moment, then showed an expression of "I knew it," and said with some regret, "He really is a big shot from the Nine Stars, very difficult to kill."
As he spoke, the helicopter quickly retreated, attempting to create a safe distance from Su Luo. The next second, the helicopter, which was originally retreating, seemed to be rewinding and fast-forwarding, like a frame-freezing scene, going back and forth, stuck in those two seconds of moving forward and backward.
"Resonance, right? I'm curious, how do you resonate with time?"
If they were both nine-star level, Su Luo might have been a little wary, but how dare a mere seven-star level person come and challenge her? Wasn't that taking her too lightly?
Upon hearing Su Luo's words, the [Resonance]'s expression changed slightly. Before he could react, he suddenly felt unwell, as if he had aged considerably all at once.
His once jet-black hair turned completely white in an instant, and the helicopter he was holding began to groan. The propeller began to decay and age, and the fuselage was no exception. As if it had lived for millions of years, it began to lose power and descend rapidly!
"This, this is the [Time] Domain?!" Shu Li was seeing the triggering of the [Time] Domain up close for the first time; it was nothing short of monstrous.
There's no way to fight back. Every move they make is a killing blow. How can we defend against it?
Even a ghost, after millions of years, will eventually run out of lifespan! No one, or even a ghost, is willing to fight against time.
Seeing the scene in mid-air, all the onlookers gasped in shock.
Above the Nine Stars, in the realm of [Time], its reputation is well-deserved.
While everyone was shocked by the power of the [Time] domain, Su Luo opened his arms and took a step towards the starry sky, fluttering down from the hotel room like a butterfly.
Seeing Su Luo jump down, Shu Li and Yang Zijin stepped forward, exchanged a glance, hardened their hearts, and jumped down after him.
There was no other way; they had to follow Su Luo, as that was the safest option.
Yang Zijin didn't care. He was already wanted by the Red Leaf City, so he could just be added to the list by the Hundred Spirits City. It was all the same. If they were going to die, they would die together. Following Su Luo would at least intimidate other assassins. If he were alone, he probably wouldn't survive a day in the Hundred Spirits City.
And so, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Su Luo and the other two leaped down. The [Time] domain was activated, slowing down their fall as if in slow motion. With a light touch of their toes, they landed safely on Bailing Main Street.
Where are we going now?
"Where to?" Su Luo smiled slightly, glancing at the most dazzling building in the entire Bailing main city. "Of course, it's... the place where we can spend the most money."
"They want my life, so I'll give them a gift in return!"
As he spoke, Su Luo strode forward. It seemed like he only took one step, but that one step covered a considerable distance, as if someone had fast-forwarded the time that would have been needed.
"This [Time] domain is really useful." Shu Li looked at Su Luo, who was moving through streets with a single step, and said enviously, "Ah, if only my [Invisibility] had such an ability."
At the same time, Yang Zijin also felt a surge of admiration.
I used to think my skills in the "speed" field were pretty good, but now it seems like utter rubbish, completely unbearable to look at.
Look, look! This one field of theirs encompasses everything that can be done in many other fields. It's almost too overpowered!
Inside the hotel, watching the departing figures of the group, a woman dressed in a seductive manner took out her radio and announced, "[Resonance] Mission failed. The target did not enter the hotel and has escaped. Target direction... Golden Cave!"
"Golden Cave?"
Another man's voice came through the radio, filled with disbelief.
What were they doing at the Gold Mine?
"Should we still chase them? Did you guys see that move just now?"
For a moment, several people responded via radio, especially after a [Resonance] was destroyed, and this hastily assembled murder squad seemed to have a disagreement.
"Even if I have money, I need to be alive to spend it! That [Time] domain is too insane. I don't want this deal anymore! I'm quitting!"
"Me too." After a moment of silence, another person chose to quit. After all, it was over in a single encounter, and the other party even deliberately let [Resonance] fire a bullet. It was just like a cat toying with a mouse. No matter how high the bounty was, what was the point of the money if the person was gone?
Seemingly after weighing the pros and cons, the alluring woman in the hotel sighed inwardly and pressed the intercom button, "Cancel the order, call it a day, and inform everyone that our people will not accept this order!"
It was at this moment that Su Luo paused slightly, looked back in the direction of the hotel, and was slightly taken aback.
"What's wrong?" Yang Zijin asked warily.
"It's nothing." Su Luo raised an eyebrow, saying with a mix of expectation and regret, "They're gone."
"Why did they leave so quickly? Send a few more so I can see their skills. Honestly, they have the guts to take the job but not the guts to kill. The assassins in the Abyss are too weak."
Upon hearing Su Luo's words, Shu Li and Yang Zijin fell silent.
Hmm... why does it feel like Su Luo's words have a hidden meaning, a veiled attack, as if he's pointing fingers at them?
The next second, Su Luo took another step forward, and the golden cave, glittering with golden light, appeared before the three of them.
