Dealing with two Saint Realm powerhouses alone was indeed difficult.
While two Saint Realm experts against one might seem straightforward, they were facing Ye Longlin! The combat prowess of the Ye family was undeniable, as countless remains could attest to their peerless strength within the same realm. To defeat him, one would need at least three times his own strength!
"You engage him, I'll block his escape route!"
The Crimson Lotus Demon Woman had no intention of joining the fray, but her words left Fist Demon with no choice but to nod and charge forward.
Ye Longlin snorted. With a single thought, the heavens and earth shifted, and a golden light began to appear in the clouds.
Seeing this, the Crimson Lotus Demon Woman's expression turned grim. She took a deep breath and whispered, "We must finish this quickly!"
"This is the Ye family's Mountain River Seal. Once it appears, the Ye family members in Chang'an will know Ye Longlin is in trouble. If reinforcements arrive, we'll be the ones to die today!"
Upon hearing this, Fist Demon could no longer contain his roar, "Then do something! Even if we can't kill him, we can at least heavily injure him!"
The Crimson Lotus Demon Woman had nothing else to say. She tapped the ground with her bare feet, transforming into an afterimage as she swept towards Ye Longlin. A dagger appeared in her hand!
With a flick of her wrist, the small knife flew out, turning into a stream of light that pierced Ye Longlin's thigh. The stinging sensation instantly shot through his nerves, but he didn't pause. He leaped into the sky, pointing one finger to the heavens and the other to the earth.
His Saint Realm cultivation erupted, and a golden light flashed in his eyes.
Sensing the danger, Fist Demon charged forward. He soared into the air, spinning and unleashing a dazzling screen of light, like scattered stars falling from the firmament.
Ye Longlin thrust out a punch, his fist, entirely composed of martial energy, smashing towards him.
Fist Demon's light screen shattered the incoming fist, averting a fatal blow. In his hand, he now held a long sword, which he swung, sending a blinding sword energy surging upwards. It was like a resplendent silver dragon, seemingly connecting with the lightning striking down from the heavens.
The Mountain River Seal descended at this moment. The two attacks collided with a tremendous roar that echoed throughout the city sky.
"Young Master, leave this to us!"
A voice called out, and two streaks of light appeared in the distance.
The Ye family's reinforcements had arrived!
"Why are only you two here? Where are the others?" Ye Longlin asked, frowning.
After asking, Ye Longlin noticed the injuries on their bodies! The bloodstains were clearly visible on both of them! Could something have happened to the Ye family?
"Young Master, for some reason, the Ye family's base was discovered by the Dark Hall. The Ye family is currently under attack from the Dark Hall. A top-tier expert is engaging us, and Ancestor Tianqiong is being held back. Everyone else is also occupied. Their strength is twice ours. Only the two of us could break through to provide support. Please forgive us."
The two clasped their fists apologetically. It was clear they had fought their way through intense battles to reach him so quickly.
Ye Longlin's gaze sharpened as he said with killing intent, "Kill Fist Demon!"
With that, he was the first to charge towards Fist Demon. The other two Ye family experts also attacked, instantly surrounding him in a pincer formation.
...
"If this is all you have, it will be difficult to guarantee your life. I can tell you clearly that we have already obtained this information. What you are saying is completely different from what we want to know. I can also tell you that we have been fighting the Dark Hall for many years, and we already know what we need to know. So, you should consider your words carefully."
Yuan Gang spoke slowly. The information Wang Qinhai had provided was enough to shock them and the Glory Hall. Honestly, Yuan Gang knew the Dark Hall had extended its reach to many places, but he hadn't expected them to be operating right under their noses! And to have done so much right before their eyes was truly unexpected!
"This is all I know. I don't know anything more. Besides, although Chang'an is under my responsibility, do you think I could be involved in their core plans? As for anything else, I truly don't know. And this list I have is all the information I possess. This list can only be followed by me; otherwise, you won't find anything even if you go. I already predicted this day of exposure, so I made preparations. If the person going isn't me, they will directly destroy the evidence."
Yuan Gang's expression soured upon hearing this, but there was nothing he could do. After all, the other party had said so much, what else could he do but protect him?
The sounds of commotion from outside also made Yuan Gang extremely worried about the situation outside, but for now, all he could do was wait here for the outcome. He couldn't participate in the battle, which made him feel terrible, a sense of powerlessness rising within him.
Just as he was about to go out and check the situation, he opened the door and saw a team of foreign legion soldiers in bulletproof vests!
His pupils contracted sharply, and he roared, "Get down!"
The next moment, soldiers dressed in foreign legion uniforms pulled their triggers, and bullets rained down like torrents! The Dragon Pavilion soldiers had all come from the brink of death. Upon hearing Yuan Gang's shout, everyone instinctively hit the ground. The two soldiers standing beside Wang Qinhai turned their backs to him.
But in the next second, bullets pierced through the walls and into their bodies! Splashes of blood bloomed. They performed their final mission before life's end, protecting Wang Qinhai with their lives!
Seeing this, Yuan Gang's eyes turned red.
"Give me your guns!" Yuan Gang roared. They only had handguns, and each with only one magazine. They had come out for an arrest, not a combat mission, so they hadn't brought any rifles, only handguns. Soon, Yuan Gang had two handguns holstered at his waist and two in his hands. He charged out, conjuring a shield with martial energy to draw fire, then rolled forward and began firing at them!
Bang bang bang!
Bullets shot from the barrels. The enemy wasn't stupid; as he charged out, fire was concentrated upon him, an overwhelming barrage! Yuan Gang was pinned down, unable to lift his head.
"Cover me!" he shouted. Then, he threw the guns in his hands back into the room along the floor, while he pulled out a dagger. The dagger glinted coldly under the light.
"You are all looking for death!"
