The rain was getting heavier.
In the alley, shadows intertwined.
Occasionally, the muddy ground was stirred up, and there were muffled sounds of fists and feet clashing.
At this moment, under the frenzied attack of the female bodyguard captain, the man in the Tengu mask appeared extremely flustered.
He had completely lost the confident and arrogant demeanor he had earlier.
One could say that he was as embarrassed now as he had been arrogant before!
Damn! Damn! Damn!
The man in the Tengu mask couldn't help but curse wildly in his heart.
He knew that this mission wouldn't be easy!
These female bodyguards were all top-notch fighters!
They could simultaneously fend off three or four enemies of the same level, evenly matched and not at a disadvantage!
Not to mention the female bodyguard captain, who had broken through to the mid-stage of the innate realm in the heat of battle.
She was even more ferocious, striking with lethal intent.
She could even deal with him, a beginner in the innate realm, while still having the energy to handle the ten or so peak transformation realm martial artists!
No, it should be said that if they hadn't been constantly interfering with her, he would have been defeated long ago!
Even so, as time passed, their defeat became increasingly evident!
After all, their only goal was to kill the young lady of the Mu family; they never thought they would lose their lives here.
And they were all fighting with their backs against the wall, leaving no way out.
One side was attacking to complete a mission, while the other was fighting for their lives.
Just from the momentum alone, the former was significantly weaker!
No wonder those specially made bombs that could blow apart ordinary transformation realm martial artists couldn't take them down!
At this rate, they might all fall here!
The man in the Tengu mask suddenly felt a hint of retreat.
'No! I can't retreat!'
As soon as he thought of the punishment the organization would impose on those who failed their mission, he couldn't help but tremble in fear!
That was something more terrifying than death!
The only chance now was...
The man in the Tengu mask couldn't help but glance at Mu Wanrou, who had been watching the whole time.
She still wore that eternally cold expression, seemingly mocking their incompetence silently!
This ignited his anger.
The only chance now was... to capture the leader first!
Find an opportunity to take down their target, Mu Wanrou!
He couldn't believe it.
How could a beginner in the innate realm not be able to defeat a mid-stage innate female bodyguard captain?
But he couldn't possibly fail to kill an ordinary person!
The man in the Tengu mask deliberately exposed a flaw.
The female bodyguard captain naturally seized this opportunity, launching a fierce attack!
She initially thought the opponent would at least try to defend.
But the man in the Tengu mask was also ruthless; he didn't dodge or evade, forcefully taking the attack.
And using that momentum, he lunged towards Mu Wanrou!
"Young lady, be careful!"
Upon realizing the opponent's intention, the female bodyguard captain's face changed drastically, and she hurriedly shouted to her young lady.
"Jie jie jie, too late!"
The man in the Tengu mask's face twisted in rage, spitting blood in mid-air, but still flew forward with a punch aimed at Mu Wanrou.
This was a full-force strike from a beginner in the innate realm!
If an ordinary person were hit...
Their body might be turned into a mist of blood on the spot!
But.
Looking at the still expressionless Mu Wanrou, the man in the Tengu mask couldn't help but feel a flash of doubt and unease.
She didn't show the slightest hint of fear?
The slight upward curve of her lips seemed to be... mocking his ignorance and overconfidence?!
Could it be...
Boom!
The punch, infused with the strength of a beginner in the innate realm, unexpectedly struck out!
But it did not hit Mu Wanrou!
To be precise, it struck the air about three meters away from her!
After that, even with all his strength and internal energy, the man in the Tengu mask couldn't advance another step!
In his unwilling gaze, that three meters felt like an insurmountable distance!
Suddenly, a slight golden light flashed.
Puff~~
The man in the Tengu mask flew back like a broken sack, screaming as he sprayed blood in the air.
He finally crashed down onto the muddy, rain-soaked ground, looking utterly miserable!
"Indeed, the children of wealthy families have such powerful protective talismans!"
"You... are truly despicable!"
He trembled as he pointed at Mu Wanrou, clearly infuriated.
And his earlier 'clever' actions now seemed laughable!
"It was this subordinates' negligence; I deserve to die a thousand deaths!"
The female bodyguard captain hurried to Mu Wanrou's side, filled with regret.
If the young lady were harmed even slightly because of her mistake, she would be unable to absolve herself, no matter how many times she was punished!
"It's nothing!"
Mu Wanrou's expression remained calm as she lightly uttered two words.
Throughout, she had not even glanced at the man in the Tengu mask and his group.
Since she had become the representative of the Mu family, she had naturally foreseen that someone would act against her.
They might even conspire to take her life!
Therefore, she had plenty of means to protect herself!
Wanting to kill her... was not a simple task!
"Finish it!"
Mu Wanrou slightly raised her eyes, looking at the hazy rain curtain in the distance, and gave a command.
"Yes, Miss!"
After receiving the order, the female bodyguard captain once again erupted with a ferocious aura like a fierce beast.
Without the obstruction of the only innate realm expert, the man in the Tengu mask, she charged into the remaining enemies like a wolf among sheep, swiftly killing them all as if chopping vegetables!
Seeing that terrifying woman walking towards him, the man in the Tengu mask finally panicked.
He had worked hard to reach this level of cultivation; he didn't want to die!
He struggled to try to stand up.
But aside from his hands patting the muddy ground, there was no other effect.
He was too severely injured!
At this point, even an ordinary person with a knife could easily take him down!
"No! No!! You can't kill me!"
"If I die, your Mu Dada will be buried with me!"
The man in the Tengu mask looked at the fist about to fall on him and screamed hoarsely.
"Stop!"
The fist of the female bodyguard captain halted.
The fist stopped, but the gust of wind from the punch did not!
From a distance, it looked as if a layer of white mist had exploded around the man in the Tengu mask, stinging his cheeks and scalp!
He had never felt death so close, his consciousness was hazy!
At this moment, the female bodyguard captain's fist was only three centimeters away from the man in the Tengu mask's head!
If Mu Wanrou had spoken a little slower...
Then a fresh watermelon would have exploded in the rain!
"You only have one chance to explain clearly; otherwise, you will experience what it means to wish you were dead!"
Mu Wanrou's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, her tone extremely cold, making one feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.
It was a coldness colder than the icy rain!
When it came to Mu An, the woman's expression and aura finally changed for the first time.
The man in the Tengu mask couldn't help but shiver.
At this moment, he actually had the illusion that Mu Wanrou, an ordinary person, was more terrifying than the female bodyguard captain with innate mid-level strength!
