However.

Just as Chen Huijie was about to climb over the wall into the camp.

The once clear and desolate sky suddenly became distorted and scorching hot, and even the Twin Moons in the sky seemed to be firmly gripped by a pair of giant hands, losing their original bright colors.

The surrounding air seemed to be heated by a raging fire, making one feel as if they were in a furnace.

As a senior superintendent, Chen Huijie naturally sensed the unusual change in the air.

She rolled to the side immediately, narrowly avoiding the raging flames that brushed past her.

Just as Chen Huijie rolled to her feet, the space seemed to be distorted by the high temperature again, and a halo of light, as bright as day, suddenly appeared on the dark horizon.

Unlike before, the spellcaster's flames appeared simultaneously from all directions.

They blocked all of Chen Huijie's escape routes, trapping her against the wall and making it difficult for her to move.

On a distant rooftop, a tall figure still stood, Luo Chen holding a giant sword almost as tall as himself.

The greatsword was covered in flames, and Luo Chen raised his other hand, his fingers slightly bent, as if he could ignite the flames around Chen Huijie at any moment.

He looked at Chen Huijie, whose escape route was blocked, and a hint of disdain appeared on his lips, as if he were mocking her for being like a rat in a sewer.

"I never imagined that the high-ranking Commander Chen would do such petty theft."

Luo Chen's voice echoed beneath the night sky.

"Commander Chen, what brings you here uninvited today?"

"Luo Chen... what did you do to Talulah?"

Chen Huijie's voice carried a hint of suppressed anger and incredulous surprise.

She couldn't understand why Luo Chen, who used to be a complete idiot in terms of combat ability, had become so powerful today.

Could it be that this guy has been hiding his true strength all along?

Besides disguise, does he possess any other abilities?

Luo Chen still wore a faint smile on his face.

"I didn't do anything! According to our agreement, I was preparing to bring Talulah back to Lungmen."

"Is that how you tie someone up? Putting someone in a fire to roast them, you're just indulging your bestial lust!"

Chen Huijie's legs were trembling. "Luo Chen, I am acting on the orders of the Lungmen Guard Department, demanding that you release Talulah immediately."

Talulah was clearly treated inhumanely.

If Luo Chen continues to torture her, by the time Talulah is tied up and taken to Lungmen, she'll probably be nothing more than Draco jerky.

"Commander Chen, if I remember correctly, you are currently absent from your post, is that right?"

Luo Chen confirmed with Chen Huijie.

"So what if it is?"

"I'm sorry, but I cannot obey orders from a superior who has broken the rules. Your order has no legal validity whatsoever."

"You never intended to let Talulah, did you?"

Chen Huijie was certain that Luo Chen's background meant he wouldn't obey orders from the Lungmen Gate.

Because this guy has never seriously carried out the orders of the Lungmen Guard Department.

The Lungmen Guard Department tasked him with secretly infiltrating the Reunion Movement to gather intelligence, and on his very first day, he seized power and became a cadre in one of the Reunion Movement's small teams.

The Lungmen Guard Department told him not to cause trouble within the Reunion Movement, but this guy immediately went on to merge or eliminate all the other Reunion Movement in Lungmen.

Needless to say, what happened afterward was another story.

Luo Chen completed all the orders from the Lungmen Guard Department in an unexpected way.

This guy doesn't care about Lungmen's interests at all; he only cares about his own happiness.

"Why should I let Talulah? Do you know how many people died because of her?"

"Are you going to bend the law just because Talulah is Commander Chen's sister?"

Seeing that Chen Huijie was still unconvinced, Luo Chen's lips curled up slightly again.

"Chen Huijie, do you know? Your sister is really great."

Luo Chen gently rested his chin on his hand, looking down at Chen Huijie in the distance, and said teasingly:

"The way she fought back so desperately was really amusing. I had two strong officers surround her from both sides, attacking her from both ends..."

"She was in excruciating pain, drenched in sweat. She quickly knelt down and begged for mercy, pleading with me to give her a quick death so she wouldn't be attacked from both sides anymore."

"If she gets surrounded any more, she's going to go crazy."

"You were never supposed to know this, but I never expected you to come all this way alone."

"Next, not only Talulah, the leader of the Reunion Movement, but also Chen, the senior superintendent of the Lungmen Guard Department, will become my playthings."

Luo Chen's lips still curled into a wicked smile, making no attempt to hide his disdain for Chen Huijie and his desire to humiliate her thoroughly.

Not far away.

"..."

Chen Huijie remained silent throughout, but her fingers trembled slightly, and the veins on the back of her hands throbbed wildly.

His right hand was already on the hilt of Chixiao's sword.

Although she is not yet able to control the power of Chixiao, even if it means mutual destruction, she will make Luo Chen, who was born, pay the price.

"Luo Chen..."

Chen Huijie called out Luo Chen's name viciously.

"What instructions does Commander Chen have?"

Luo Chen deliberately put his hand on his ear, as if he was looking forward to what she would say next.

"I'm going to expose your true colors to Hoshiguma!"

Chen Huijie's voice was filled with extreme anger.

You won't have that chance.

The smile on Luo Chen's face vanished, replaced by a raging inferno that blotted out the sky.

Flames capable of illuminating the heavens and earth coiled around Luo Chen, but to Luo Chen, these flames seemed to be nonexistent.

She slowly and deliberately raised her greatsword toward Chen Huijie.

"Let me see just how much the famous Superintendent Chen really is now."

The flames around Chen Huijie grew fiercer, and the air around her trembled as a result.

"Here we go!"

Luo Chen stretched out his hand, and all the flames surrounding Chen Huijie swept towards her.

Surrounded by flames, Chen Huijie could barely breathe. Everything around her became blurry. Even if the flames couldn't roast her into a charcoal-grilled dragon, the lack of oxygen would suffocate her.

However, Chen Huijie was also prepared for the possibility of life and death.

"If you want to come, then come, Chixiao!"

Her right hand gently pressed the safety on the sword hilt.

Time seemed to accelerate in an instant, as towering flames surged toward Chen Huijie, falling from the sky and engulfing her tiny figure.

Surrounded by flames, Chen Huijie suddenly unleashed a deafening roar.

In an instant, the crimson monster seemed to be awakened, letting out a deafening roar.

With this roar, the flames surrounding Chen Huijie, and Chen Huijie, were all engulfed by the crimson sword energy.

Seeing this, Luo Chen raised his greatsword with both hands, waiting for Chen Huijie to break out from the crimson sword energy.

However, two seconds passed.

Under Luo Chen's questioning gaze, Chen Huijie's lips trembled, her face pale as she flew backward into the Reunion Movement camp, then rolled down next to Talulah.

Luo Chen: "???"

Talulah, who was playing the role of Luo Chen, could hardly maintain her composure.

According to the script, he was supposed to have a great sparring match with his sister, but in the end, he was caught off guard and Chen Huijie kidnapped "Talulah".

Unexpectedly, the moment he clashed with Chen Huijie, she blew him away.

Is Chen Huijie's combat ability really that bad?

Did she learn a combat technique that kills a thousand enemies but also inflicts ten thousand casualties on herself?

What exactly did Wei Yenwu teach her?

However, Talulah only thought about the first level and didn't consider the second level.

Chen Huijie's goal from beginning to end was only one: to rescue Talulah.

Bringing Luo Chen to justice was merely a secondary, incidental objective.

Now that Luo Chen has demonstrated formidable strength, Chen Huijie naturally won't be foolish enough to confront him head-on.

Instead, he used the Chixiao, which he couldn't control, to blast himself to Talulah's side.

Some might say that their actions were too despicable and pathetic.

But this is the experience Chen Huijie learned from Luo Chen. When dealing with someone like Luo Chen, who was born out of nowhere, you can't take the usual approach.

"Talulah, I'm here. I'll get you out of here right now."

With his face covered in dust, Chen propped up the scabbard of Chixiao and drew his sword from his waist to cut the ropes binding Talulah.

The moment the rope snapped, Talulah's body seemed to be freed.

She swayed slightly, then looked up at Chen Hui.

Her eyes shone with a complex light, a mixture of surprise, gratitude, and an indescribable tenderness.

"You are, Xiao Chen?"

She called softly, her voice trembling with a hint of surprise and joy.

Chen Huijie had a thousand words she wanted to write to Talulah, but the current crisis made her swallow all the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

"You leave quickly, I'll stay here and play with him for a while."

Chen Huijie imitated a chivalrous hero from a martial arts story and uttered an extremely pretentious sentence.

Decades later, when they met again, she had become someone who could protect her sister.

"Xiao Chen! You..."

"Don't say anything, trust me!"

Chen Huijie turned to look at Talulah. The two sisters exchanged glances, their blood ties creating a resonance between them at that moment.

Everything is understood without words.

This can be left to Chen Huijie.

"Okay! Xiao Chen, I believe you. See you in a bit."

Talulah nodded, then turned and fled into the dense forest behind the village.

Her sister's trust was the greatest encouragement to Chen Huijie, and she looked at Luo Chen, who was walking towards her, with a determined gaze.

She slowly slipped her hand inside her bra, intending to deal with Luo Chen, who was born into this family.

She was fully prepared.

Although from the outside it seemed as if she wasn't carrying anything, that was because Chen Huijie had hidden all her concealed weapons inside her clothes.

"Luo Chen, now I have no way to escape."
