Boom!
The azure iron whip collided with the lightning. The compressed wind element suddenly burst forth, a violent gale surging out like wind blades. The man standing beside Zhou Xian was instantly sliced into several pieces.
But Su Chen was ultimately only a Tier 2 Professional. The blazing lightning spread after him and slammed viciously into Su Chen. It was like being hit head-on by a truck, and the immense force sent him flying backward.
But Zhou Xian's expression suddenly changed drastically. The man who had taken his attack head-on had not fallen to the ground. Instead, borrowing that rebounding force, he drifted away like a falling leaf and shot an incredible distance away.
In the blink of an eye, he vanished without a trace.
He ran!?
"Even a minor operation had someone leaking information. I think it really is time for a thorough purge."
In the council hall, Xia Hanshi's small, thin figure sat in the seat of honor. Zhang Hongbo sat to his right, while Yang Yan and the others were to his left.
Hearing this, cold sweat broke out across Zhang Hongbo's forehead. He explained, "The news only leaked at the very end of the operation. It doesn't necessarily mean there's a problem within our ranks."
"Even if there is a mole, he's just some small fry. We'll find him soon enough."
Yang Yan tried to smooth things over from the side. "At least it was one hideout. Southwind City's efforts during this period weren't wasted."
"Just two or three little cats. What's the point of killing as many of them as you want? If you don't dig out the root, it'll resurface sooner or later." Xia Hanshi's tone was unpleasant, though he did not press them too hard.
Yang Yan discreetly glanced at Zhang Hongbo.
