Chu Lie, pushed by Leng Youlan, became alert and took cover in the nearby corner. He looked toward the street. The street was quiet, and now it was so silent that the sound of leaves rustling in the evening breeze could be heard.
Leng Youlan searched for the enemy’s hiding place. Based on the bullet’s trajectory, the opponent was likely positioned slightly to the left in front of her. She observed the trees were the best hiding spot. She judged that the shooter was hiding in the trees and believed their accomplices were nearby.
From the bullet’s position, it was clear the target was her. Leng Youlan glanced at Chu Lie hiding on the other side, not wanting to implicate him. She had owed him too much. She gripped the flying daggers on her body and then moved quickly.
Hearing the bullet’s sound cutting through the air, she launched her flying dagger in the direction of the bullet.
With lightning speed, she dodged the enemy’s deadly bullets, knowing she needed to eliminate these people quickly before their reinforcements arrived.
“Thud!” A black shadow fell directly from the tree, a knife piercing his chest, blood spurting.
Leng Youlan quickly moved to Chu Lie’s side, whispering, “Lie, there might be more people in the tree. We must eliminate them all.”
“Yes, I estimate there are two more people up there.” He looked at her, speaking sternly, “You must not do something so dangerous again.”
“I understand.” She didn’t think this was the right time to argue. “Lie, I think the people in the tree were scared by my previous actions. They’re in a state of panic now.”
“Yes. What do you want to do?”
“Do you have a gun?”
Chu Lie waved the gun in his hand.
“Good. If your judgment is correct and there are two people in the tree, we’ll each take one.”
Chu Lie immediately responded, “According to our current positions.”
“Okay, let’s do it.” Leng Youlan believed with their skills, the people in the tree were doomed.
She playfully kicked a stone on the ground.
The stone’s sound broke the silent night, and the people in the tree immediately fired bullets. A flying dagger and a bullet met head-on.
