"Whoosh, whoosh!"
Beneath the night sky, amid the clamor, Ma Zhang, Bao Baiqi, Liu Yuanying, Ou Ling, and the others were startled in the villa district not far from Mystic Umbrella Company headquarters. They leaped onto the rooftops and looked toward the source of the tremendous noise.
There, in the hazy moonlight, a familiar figure stood in midair while another figure in red fled at breakneck speed.
"Is that... Huang Tian?!" Du Xiaomai exclaimed. "What happened?"
Ma Zhang reacted instantly. "Someone tried to assassinate him under cover of night!"
The six were startled, but none of them panicked.
Bao Baiqi almost wanted to laugh. "Seriously, what was that assassin thinking? I don't know exactly how strong Huang Tian is, but he trained more than four hundred Inner Refining martial artists and six Mystic Communion martial artists in a single year, all by himself. In his spare time, he even built nuclear bombs and other epoch-making weapons with his own hands. His strength has to be beyond anything I can imagine."
"Never underestimate other people's stupidity. There are plenty of fools in this world." Liu Yuanying narrowed her eyes. "Come on, to headquarters! We can't interfere in a fight at this level, but we need to guard against someone sneaking in to cause trouble amid the chaos. I doubt anyone would be that stupid right now, but as I said, we must guard against a fool's sudden flash of inspiration."
"Right!"
The others nodded and bounded toward headquarters together.
Meanwhile, high in the night sky, Fatina caught sight of Ueshiba Tsunemori being struck down to the ground with a single palm blow. The color drained from her face.
Why was he so strong?!
Terror rising in her heart, she bit the tip of her tongue and spat a mist of blood.
