The masked commander looked at the straw man, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light. "Impossible, they must be nearby. Everyone, split up and look for them."
"yes."
The group of people dispersed, most of them looking towards the forest where the fire was.
Bei Yutang hid in the shadows as one of the men came towards her. As the man approached, Bei Yutang swiftly attacked, covering his mouth and nose with one hand, and before he could react, she slashed his neck with a knife.
Bei Yutang slowly put the man down, and scanned the surroundings with his sharp eyes. Seeing a lone person, he quietly followed him and killed him before he could react.
She used the darkness as cover, moving through the dense forest like a black panther waiting for its opportunity to strike.
One after another fell, and gradually the other side also noticed that their numbers were decreasing.
The masked leader reacted the fastest, "Everyone, gather in groups of twos and threes."
Just as he gave this order, Bei Yutang, who had been hiding in the bushes, attacked him. A tiny silver needle flew towards him.
Seeing that the silver needle was about to pierce his eyebrow, the man dodged the hidden weapon in a flash.
What a keen intuition, what a quick skill.
Bei Yutang has already labeled him as a great master in his heart.
The other side sent out such a large lineup, it seems that they are determined to defeat them.
The masked man glanced towards where Bei Yutang was, and his figure moved towards her like a ghost.
As soon as Bei Yutang saw him move, she rushed forward in the blink of an eye.
So fast!
When his sword with a cold glow reached her, she blocked it with the dagger in her hand. With a clang, sparks flew from between the two weapons.
Bei Yutang was forced to retreat backwards.
She dodged his second attack with a flash of her body and jumped away.
At this time, her people were surrounded by them.
The leader pointed his sword at her. "Hand over the secret recipe for Ice Skin Cream, and we'll spare your life. Otherwise, you and your son will die here today."
Bei Yutang held the dagger in his hand and looked at him sternly, "Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who we are. What matters is your choice. Do you want to keep the Ice Cream and be buried with you, or use it to save your own life?"
"Are you from the Gu family?" Bei Yutang asked.
Before, she had some suspicions that the people chasing them might be from Lei's Trading Company, but looking at the current situation, she could already rule out Lei's Trading Company as a possibility.
It was simply because of the murderous intent emanating from them. If they were truly from the Lei's Trading Company, they would absolutely not dare to kill them. After all, if she persisted, not only would they not obtain the secret formula, but they would also destroy the Ice Skin Cream they had in hand.
Only someone from the Gu family would dare to act like this. If he could get them, that would be great. If not, killing them would cause the Lei family to lose a significant amount of revenue while also reducing their influence. No matter how you look at it, this deal is a good one.
"So what if it is, so what if it isn't." The masked commander sneered.
"It seems that you are the people sent by Gu Qing. It is really flattering that he sent so many people to deal with us this time." Bei Yutang smiled, without any fear on his face.
