Chapter 832 Night Shadows Weep Blood: Breakthrough from Desperate Circumstances (2): Bloodstained Pa
The dense white smoke provided excellent cover for Lin Xuan and the others' breakout. However, the Shadow Guards reacted extremely quickly. Although their vision was obstructed, they relied on their keen hearing and sense of presence to rapidly converge on the direction from which Lin Xuan and the others were breaking out.
"Stop them! Don't let any of them escape!" A cold voice rang out from outside the smoke, clearly belonging to the leader of the Shadow Assassins.
Lin Xuan dared not be careless in the slightest. She poured her spiritual power into the long whip, and the tip of the whip drew afterimages in the air. Sometimes it was like a snake spitting its tongue, cunning and ruthless, and sometimes it was like a whirlwind sweeping away leaves, attacking in an area and forcing back the Shadow Assassins who tried to approach from the front and sides.
Bai Jie followed closely behind, her twin swords flashing like two bloodthirsty silver snakes. Any Shadow Assassin guards who dared to approach were mercilessly slashed by her. Xiao Mei's death, and Zhou Mi and Lin Xiaowan's rearguard action, had completely ignited the ferocity within her.
Liu Yan moved like a ghost along the flanks of the team, her daggers specifically targeting the enemy's joints and vital points, often deflecting fatal sneak attacks at crucial moments and clearing obstacles for the team. The other two team members also fought with all their might, one wielding a short axe to charge head-on, and the other holding a longbow, constantly firing arrows from the rear to suppress the enemy in the distance.
The five women worked in perfect unison, like a wounded wild beast unleashing astonishing fighting power. They had only one thought in their minds: Break out! Break out of this damned cage!
The smoke was gradually dissipating, and the Shadow Guards' attacks were becoming increasingly fierce.
"Bang!" Lin Xuan's long whip was parried by a Shadow Assassin at the peak of the Earth Realm with a heavy blade. The immense force numbed her arm and caused her to stagger. Just then, another Shadow Assassin seized the opportunity, his short blade stabbing towards her throat like a venomous snake!
"Captain, watch out!" Liu Yan exclaimed, rushing forward like an arrow and shielding Lin Xuan with her own body.
"Thud!" The sound of the short blade piercing flesh was clearly audible.
Liu Yan let out a muffled groan, her face instantly turning deathly pale. The short blade was deeply embedded in her shoulder blade.
"Liu Yan!" Lin Xuan's eyes widened in fury as she swung her palm at the Shadow Guard. The Shadow Guard, having landed a blow, immediately retreated, avoiding Lin Xuan's palm strike.
"I'm fine... let's go..." Liu Yan gritted her teeth, pulled the short blade from her shoulder blade, and blood gushed out. She hastily wrapped the wound with strips of cloth, her eyes still resolute.
A warm feeling welled up in Lin Xuan's heart, mixed with endless guilt. Without hesitation, she lashed out with her whip, wrapping it around the ankle of a Shadow Assassin in front of her, and with a forceful pull, flung him away, creating an opening for the group.
"rush!"
The five men shot off like arrows towards the southeast corner gate.
The side gate is right in front of us!
However, there were also two Shadow Guards guarding the area. Seeing Lin Xuan and the others rushing towards them, they immediately brandished their weapons and charged forward.
"Get out of my way!" Bai Jie roared, unleashing the full power of her twin swords. The sword light was dazzling, and she actually traded blows, one sword cleaving through the defenses of a Shadow Assassin Guard, the other piercing his heart. Her own arm was also slashed open by the opponent's longsword, bleeding profusely.
Almost simultaneously, Lin Xuan's long whip wrapped around the neck of another Shadow Assassin. With a sharp twist, a crisp "crack" was heard, and the Shadow Assassin's neck was severed.
Finally, the side gate was opened!
Outside the door was a narrow, dark back alley.
"Get out of here quickly!" Lin Xuan urged, rushing out of the side gate first. Bai Jie, Liu Yan, and two other team members followed closely behind.
Just as they rushed out of the side gate, a deafening explosion came from the direction of the villa behind them!
"Boom!"
Flames shot into the sky, illuminating half the night. Thick smoke billowed, clearly visible even from several streets away.
Lin Xuan and the others suddenly stopped and turned around, their eyes filled with shock and grief.
That was... Zhou Mi's voice? She detonated the core of her spiritual energy!
In order to buy them enough time and to completely stop the Shadow Assassins' pursuit, Zhou Mi chose to perish together with the enemy!
What about Lin Xiaowan? How is she?
Lin Xuan's heart clenched. She could almost see Zhou Mi's final, resolute smile blooming in the flames, and Lin Xiaowan fighting valiantly until she finally died from exhaustion.
"Sister Zhou Mi!"
"Sister Lin Xiaowan!"
The surviving team members broke down in tears, their vision blurred by the blood on their faces.
"Let's go!" Lin Xuan abruptly wiped away her tears, her voice hoarse and almost incoherent. She knew this wasn't the time for sorrow. They couldn't betray the path Zhou Mi and Lin Xiaowan had paved with their lives!
She resisted the urge to turn back, grabbed Bai Jie who was still sobbing, and ran wildly into the depths of the back alley. Liu Yan and the other two team members gritted their teeth and followed.
Their figures quickly disappeared into the dark alleyways, leaving behind only the towering flames and billowing smoke, as well as the thick, overwhelming smell of blood and sorrow in the air.
