Then, blinding lights came on outside, shining through the window and making it impossible to open one's eyes.
"Oh no, we've been ambushed."
"Damn it, how could this happen?"
Hong Qianjiao remained calm and spoke in a low voice.
"Don't panic, everyone."
"I'll hold them off for a bit, you guys figure out how to escape."
"No, Sister Qianjiao, if we're going, we'll go together."
"Yes, yes, no one in our team is afraid of death."
"Alright, enough with the nonsense. I'm the captain, so it's settled."
While they were talking, the entire three-story building was surrounded.
A middle-aged man dressed in a white Tang suit strode in, surrounded by a group of his men. He looked at Hong Qianjiao with burning eyes, licked his lips, and said...
"Captain Hong, you didn't expect this, did you?"
"I've been waiting for you here for quite some time, hehe."
This person is Mu Wenyuan, the leader of the Seven Killings Hall's branch in Jiangnan Prefecture.
Hong Qianjiao's mission this time was to destroy this branch base under orders.
However, judging from the current situation, it is seriously inconsistent with the information provided by the intelligence, and it is obvious that they have been betrayed by someone on the inside.
Hong Qianjiao held her long sword horizontally in front of her chest, frowning as she asked.
"Mu Wenyuan, I didn't expect your Seven Killings Hall to have a spy planted within our ranks. Who is that person?"
"Heh, do you think I'd tell you?"
"Captain Hong, I'm giving you two choices. First, you stay here and keep me company. After all, I can't bear to kill a beautiful female captain like you. As for your team members, I can let them go."
"Secondly, you will all die."
Hong Qianjiao rebuked angrily.
"Don't even think about it."
"Let's do it."
Holding a long sword, she slashed at Mu Wenyuan across the room.
Mu Wenyuan easily dodged it and chuckled.
"Captain Hong, why are you in such a hurry? You are no match for me at all."
Although this Mu Wenyuan is also a seventh-grade martial artist in the Profound Realm.
However, his internal energy was much deeper than Hong Qianjiao's, and after several rounds of fighting, he gradually gained the upper hand.
After all, this was his territory, giving him the upper hand in terms of momentum.
In addition, he had two Xuanjing-level subordinates by his side assisting him. Hong Qianjiao was quickly forced into a corner and could only parry the blows. She was powerless to fight back and was in grave danger.
At this rate, she won't last more than a few rounds.
On the other side, her four members were also surrounded by many members of the Seven Killings Hall, and two of them were already injured.
The other two team members, who were at higher cultivation levels, were also entangled by several experts from the Seven Kill Hall and couldn't free up their hands at all, making their situation extremely critical.
They will be wiped out very soon.
Just then, a young man dressed in black robes walked in silently; it was Ye Feng.
