Chapter 721: Leader of the Bandits

Translator: Tuiwen  Editor: Tuiwen

This girl’s combat skills were nowhere near inferior to those of his family’s strongest fighters.

But what made her all the more formidable was the fact that she could easily use formations to a.s.sist her in the middle of battle.

As soon as the enemies fired their guns, an unseen force shielded Yao Tangand blocked the bullets’ trajectory.

The speed with which she put up the array was also something he had never seen before.

If he didn’t know any better, he would have thought that this teenager was a seasoned warrior who had already weathered many encounters such as this one.

Yu Chen shook his head and immediately dismissed the thought. That was impossible.

He stood back and continued watching her do her dirty work. At first, he wanted to demand to be uncuffed so that he could partic.i.p.ate in the fight, but he soon realized that his help wasn’t really needed.

He just didn’t expect to be rendered speechless by what he saw next.

Despite their difference in number, Yao Tangwas able to hold out her own against these men. In fact, she was winning.

She stabbed the last man standing, and he crumpled at her feet.

When Yu Chensaw this, he opened his mouth to say something.

But before he could speak, he heard the sharp clang of metal and found that he had been uncuffed. He was free again.

Yao Tang’s face remained expressionless as she put the handcuffs away.

Yu Chen turned sullen, and the words died in his throat.

It was one thing to look down on his strength, but for her to remove his binds only after the fight was finished… Yao Tangseemed to be emphasizing just how weak she thought he was.

At this point, Yao Yanapproached them with his men in tow.

His gaze was sharp and glacial as he looked at Yao Tang.

All of a sudden, he felt her aura shift toward the side, and a chill ran down his spine. He saw Yao Tangsquare her shoulders and take on a combative stance.

In the blink of an eye, Yao Yanwhipped out his gun.

With his eyes staring straight ahead, he aimed in the distance and fired.

Bang!

A smuggler groaned in pain. The radio he had been holding was blown into smithereens, along with most of his hand.

He was the leader of the bandits.

Yao Tang had already antic.i.p.ated his move. She had stabbed him in the shoulder, and the wound wasn’t fatal. Even so, he couldn’t move freely enough to escape.

He was clearly trying to use the radio to report back to their organization.

Luckily, Yao Yanmoved quickly and eliminated that option for him.

“What the heck were you trying to do, Young Master Yao?” Yu Chencried out.

He had only seen Yao Yanwalk over, and in the next second, he was firing a gun inYao Tang’s direction. It gave him quite a fright.

It wasn’t until he followed Yao Yan’s gaze thatYu Chenfinally understood what had happened.

As for the foreign man, he had lost his only means of escape. Yao Tanghad made a point of keeping him alive until now, so he already had a good idea about what awaited him in the near future.

Being the leader of his gang, his reaction was immediate and instinctive.

He braced himself to commit suicide and took out a dagger from his inner pocket.

Yu Chen saw him do it just in time, and he quickly strode over to s.n.a.t.c.h the weapon from the smuggler’s hand.

As he did, he had the annoying thought that he wouldn’t be able to s.n.a.t.c.h the dagger away if this had occurred earlier.

But his enemy was currently injured in the shoulder, so the task was practically effortless now.

Yao Yan’s men were quick on the uptake. They rushed over and instantly tied up the man.

He was the last survivor from the enemy camp, and they extract every piece of information they could from him. They could also use him to deal with possible enemy reinforcements or retaliation.

Bai Jing turned toYu Chen. “Who are you guys? You have been a great help to theSearch Division. You have our sincerest grat.i.tude. Please be a.s.sured that we will forever keep this favor in our hearts.”

He cupped his hands toward the pair and offered them a bow.

But when Bai Jingraised his head, he reflexively stepped back and pointed a finger atYu Chen. “You! Aren’t you that person? The one who set up the array?”

Yu Chen let out a derisive snort. He narrowed his eyes atBai Jingand puffed up his chest before speaking.

“Indeed, it was me. What, do you want to take revenge on me now? Let me tell you, all those who have seen my true face ended up dead. You’re not too far away from earning the same fate.”

After hearing this, the people from the Search Divisioncollectively fell back and eyedYu Chenwarily.

If his threats were any good, then he was an enemy and not a friend.

Perhaps he had purposely helped them because he had an ulterior motive. With everything that had happened so far, they couldn’t afford to be careless.

This man called Yu Chenhad managed to trap and confuse them with a single formation. He was undoubtedly powerful, and most certainly dangerous.
