As soon as Xie Qi said the last word, an explosive bullet was fired in their direction . Xie Qi grabbed Yun Bixue's hand and spun around . Xie Ba immediately whipped out his gun and fired a shot . In a flash, Xie Shiyi and Yang Mei shielded Yun Bixue, while sending out an emergency signal to the Yun family's men of sacrifice .
All their actions were done in a split second, as though they were on a synchronized dance—all done at the same time!
Even so, the bullet still grazed Xie Qi's sleeve and hit the tree behind him . The force of the impact shook the old tree, leaving a deep hole in its trunk . Even the ground beneath them trembled .
Yun Bixue's mind went completely blank as the gunfight started . The bullets were accompanied by an overwhelming aura . She had lost count of how many flew past her . She wasn't hurt under Xie Qi's protection, but she knew that he was injured—the skin where the bullet had grazed was already bleeding . They were in the open, while their enemy was hidden . They were at a disadvantage, to say the least .
Furthermore, it was evident that those people hidden away were an imposing threat . Regardless of how strong Xie Qi was, he still got injured in order to protect her .
Yun Bixue clenched her jaw and pushed Xie Qi away . She said, "I can protect myself . All of you protect yourself well . No one can get injured . I cannot lose anyone . Otherwise, your status as a man of sacrifice would be all in vain . "
Yun Bixue's voice sounded cold-blooded and powerful, shocking Xie Qi and the rest . They immediately felt a surge of energy flowing through their bodies .
Once Yun Bixue finished speaking, she promptly whipped out two guns from her black tights . Holding a gun in each hand, she began firing . Her training since her childhood days together with the drills that Xie Limo had arranged for her last year were finally put into good use .
Their hidden enemy knew that if this were to be prolonged, it would only result in a tremendous number of casualties . These people were top-grade men of sacrifice, so they weren't afraid of exposing themselves . A group of men continued to shoot, while the others stepped out of the bushes as they slowly advanced towards Yun Bixue and the rest .
Not far from them, Qin Huailing heard the commotion . When he brought his troop of men and hurried over, he discovered that Yun Bixue was involved . Within a split second, he ordered, "Protect them and shoot the men in green!"
At that moment, Yun Bixue was leaning against a tree . Her grip on the guns tightened as her expression hardened even more . She was trying to analyze the current situation, finding a way to defeat their opponents without her people getting injured . In the end, her judgment told her that it was still a no-win situation for both sides .
At this critical point, a chair suddenly slid off a slope . During this moment of distraction, another round of ammunition was fired, hidden from their sight .
Shortly after, the opponents were completely wiped out . Yun Bixue turned to look at the person who helped her . It was apparent that the man sitting on the slope, who was as clean and bright as a crystal, was Qin Huailing!
Although she didn't understand why he helped her, he really did lend her a helping hand . She owed him a favor .
When the Yun family's men of sacrifice returned, they only managed to clean up after those who had been shot to death . Their initial speculations confirmed that these people weren't men of sacrifice from Ning An City's royal families . They were connected to the powerful forces in the capital, Tian Jing City . As for the finer details, they still had to investigate further .
Afterwards, Yun Bixue brought Yang Mei and the rest along as they followed Qin Huailing . They arrived at a villa deep in the mountains .
As soon as Yun Bixue looked at the wooden villa in front of her, she gasped . "I didn't expect that such a villa was concealed within this nature reserve . It couldn't even be captured when shot from above . " It was hidden too well and too deep in the forest—no wonder it couldn't be captured . In addition to that, the color of the structure was similar to the surrounding vegetation, providing a good camouflage . If she wasn't looking at it with her own eyes, she wouldn't be able to tell it apart from a distance .
Qin Huailing's clear gaze turned somewhat blank . "That's right . I didn't expect that I'll come back here one day . As luck would have it, I met you as well . "
