The other side of the mountain faces the sun, and the trees there are far more lush than those on the side where Qin Sheng and the others are.
Qin Muyuan led the remaining thirty-six members of the Dark Guard, using the terrain for cover as they constantly dodged the bullets that were fired from time to time.
This operation was carried out by Qin Muyuan, who personally led half of his personal guards to locate Black Prison after the Dark Division's technical department repeatedly confirmed the location.
Of the fifty-seven people who came, only thirty-six remain now.
Of the eleven who died, only one died from severe injuries sustained during the prolonged battle that did not receive timely medical treatment. The other ten died in the massive explosion that occurred during the Black Prison raid more than two hours earlier.
After the explosion, Qin Muyuan led the remaining thirty-seven men to retreat southwest, bypassing the front line which was full of traps, and retreated to the mountain from the rear.
The original intention was to use the traps set by Black Prison to block the front, and as long as they guarded the back, they could ensure their own safety, and then wait for reinforcements to arrive, at which point they could take Black Prison by attacking from both sides.
Unexpectedly, the person in charge of the Black Prison acted very cautiously this time. Not only did he deploy a lot of men at the foot of the mountain, but he also left seventy or eighty men on the mountain to wait for them to come to him.
Thus, Qin Muyuan and his thirty-seven men became like the rabbits that had been caught in the trap, finding themselves in a dilemma.
Fortunately, the terrain here was complex enough that they fought and retreated, managing to hold out for two hours. They also managed to rescue a hostage who had been captured by the Black Prison and whose purpose was unknown.
It was Duanmu Zicheng.
"Chief, we're almost out of bullets. We can only hold out for another half hour at most. If reinforcements don't arrive by then, we might really be doomed here." Xu Chi said, his brow furrowed as he tallied the remaining weapons.
While keeping his eyes fixed on a certain direction, Qin Muyuan said without turning his head, "Try to use it sparingly, and last as long as you can."
Suddenly, his eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he fired ten shots in quick succession in a certain direction.
Xu Chi: "..."
We agreed to use it sparingly, but this is how you save money?
The thought had barely crossed my mind when I heard a sound like metal hitting metal, followed by a series of metallic thuds.
A voice, tinged with laughter, slowly rang out: "Your weapons are useless against me."
Qin Muyuan's pupils had shrunk to their limit.
He was the first to spot the newcomer and immediately recognized him as the one who had first dropped the explosive firearms—the one in charge of this Black Prison operation.
Graying temples, a silver robe, and a mask that fits his face perfectly.
Qin Muyuan had only recently heard about this person from a message sent by Qin Zheng; he was one of the seven elders of the Black Prison.
Knowing the other party's identity and importance in this operation, he fired ten shots without hesitation the moment he spotted them, even though he knew he was short of ammunition.
But I never expected...
Qin Muyuan's pupils, already constricted, trembled again as he recalled the scene he had just witnessed, and his grip on the gun tightened instinctively.
Yes, he wasn't lying.
Their weapons were indeed useless against him.
Qin Muyuan witnessed it firsthand: the moment he fired the gun, the watch on the silver-robed man's wrist flashed, and a transparent barrier immediately popped up.
Invisible and colorless, if it weren't for the slight ripples that appeared on the barrier when the bullet hit it, even Qin Muyuan, who had been watching it the whole time, probably wouldn't have noticed it.
They would only assume that some unnatural phenomenon had blocked his bullet.
Oh, no need to think about it anymore, this barrier itself is an unnatural phenomenon.
After all, even he had never heard of anything that could achieve such an effect.
At this moment, Qin Muyuan couldn't help but feel a little impatient.
Outnumbered and outgunned, their weapons were less advanced, and they couldn't even capture the leader first. If things continued like this, they would truly face certain death.
However, he cannot die, at least not yet.
Qin Muyuan's gaze shifted rapidly, and at one moment, a resolute look flashed in his eyes.
His pair of arrogant black eyes gradually took on a strange luster at this moment, and at the same time, the temperature around him began to rise.
The two elders noticed and immediately realized what he was doing, their eyes widening in disbelief: "Are you tired of living!"
Qin Muyuan's lips curled into a smile, his eyes filled with arrogance and ruthlessness: "Living a few years less is better than dying right now."
For the first time, anger flashed in the eyes of the two elders, who laughed in fury: "It's just a few strands of her hair and a few drops of her blood, not her life! Are all of you surnamed Qin out of your minds?!"
Qin Muyuan shrugged, looking like a scoundrel: "Yeah, you have a problem with that?"
The two elders: "..."
Qin Muyuan's smile widened, and he winked at the Second Elder with a roguish grin: "Tsk tsk, at your age, you still want young girls' hair and blood all the time. I think you're the one with a problem. Actually, I'm not bad looking either. Why don't you consider it?"
"Hey, hey, don't be angry, don't be angry. Getting angry will shorten your lifespan. You're already this old, you don't have many years left to live, why make things difficult for yourself?"
"To be honest, I quite enjoy seeing you dislike me but can't do anything about it. Would you call this a love-hate relationship?"
"..."
When Qin Sheng and his group arrived, they saw Qin Muyuan shaking his leg and babbling incessantly, while the silver-robed man opposite him was so angry that he was speechless and dared not approach.
He couldn't help but think: "..."
It wasn't until Qin Zheng noticed the increasingly intense crimson color surrounding Qin Muyuan and the gradually boiling air that his heart trembled: "A-Yuan!"
Qin Sheng immediately looked away, her brows furrowing.
She also noticed Qin Muyuan's unusual behavior.
Although I don't know his current situation, just looking at Qin Zheng's ugly face and Qin Muyuan's increasingly pale face, I know it's definitely not a good thing.
Her expression hardened, and she rushed towards Qin Muyuan in a flash.
They appeared beside Qin Muyuan, arriving late but arriving early.
There was no time to check his pulse or assess his condition. He immediately placed his hands on Qin Muyuan's back, and a continuous stream of spiritual and mental energy surged into his body.
At the last moment, Qin Muyuan's boiling blood was extinguished.
Qin Muyuan's expression changed repeatedly. Finally, overwhelmed by wave after wave of weakness, he could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground.
Qin Sheng reached out and caught it.
He raised his hand and grasped his pulse.
Aside from being a little weak, she doesn't seem to be in any major problems.
Qin Sheng was temporarily relieved. She handed Qin Muyuan, who was leaning against her, to Qin Zheng before looking up at the silver-robed man opposite her.
