Chapter 1168: Chapter 1167: Catastrophe

In this bright room, the enemies continued to come forward, the Flaming Firebird displayed Shen Wei, and after consecutively burning two enemies to death, the others’ offensive slightly slowed down.

With the Flaming Firebird here, the enemies did not launch an attack for the time being, but Ba Lvluo knew that finding a way to leave was the only correct solution.

If they stayed here with the Flaming Firebird, the enemies would quickly come up with ways to deal with it.

Sure enough, just as the Flaming Firebird soared into the air again, an arrow shot out from a corner. If not for the Flaming Firebird’s divine maneuver, which promptly dodged the arrow, it could have grounded the Flaming Firebird.

”Caw!” The Flaming Firebird cried out angrily, frightened by such threats from the shadows.

Ba Lv struggled to prop herself up, knowing she must leave, no matter what.

Otherwise, not only would she be in danger, but the Flaming Firebird could also face assaults from the enemy.

However, the enemies won’t let her leave so easily.

Moreover, they figured out how to deal with the terrifying big bird, by constantly entangling with Ba Lv.

The enemies would suddenly spring from windows or corners, before the Flaming Firebird had time to unleash a flame attack, to engage Ba Lv in a melee.

This way, even with the Flaming Firebird’s formidable attacking ability, she could not simply incinerate the enemies entangled with Ba Lv.

The enemy’s timely strategy was effective. The Flaming Firebird watched from above as Ba Lv was embarrassed by the enemy’s attack, anxiously calling out without any means, all the while keeping watch against stealthy arrows.

In a moment, the battle turned unfavorable for them.

As Ba Lv felt despair, she finally saw the figure she had long awaited, appearing before her.

Usually gentle and harmless in appearance, Yanran showed no mercy once she started to fight.

Ba Lv had privately asked Yanran before, why must she draw blood in every fight?

Initially embarrassed to answer, Yanran revealed under Ba Lv’s persistent questioning that, when in a combat state, the enemies before her ceased to be humans, transforming into beasts she once hunted on the Nameless Planet.

Why should she spare the beasts? Especially when some enemies were more brutal than Wild Lu, considering those as beasts was unfair to Wild Lu.

On the day the alliance of several gang leaders from Bordeaux planet and the Lord Governor’s lover formed, they set up a trap that night.

Ba Lv carelessly walked into their trap, encountering enemy ambush.

It’s no wonder Ba Lv felt the struggle in this battle, frequently on the defensive, apart from the enemies having an overwhelming numerical advantage — for their plan to succeed, the gang leaders mobilized almost all their top fighters.

At the same time, as the other side of the alliance, the Governor’s lover also wasn’t idle, mobilizing twenty elite soldiers from the special unit. These, too, were handpicked from a large number.

”Seven nine zero” to keep their involvement a secret, these soldiers donned disguises and blended in among the gangs, thus better concealing their presence.

This was the fundamental reason Ba Lv was on the defensive in this battle.

In this fight, Ba Lv had no advantage in timing, terrain, or allies.

She didn’t even have a single weapon in her hand.

Under such circumstances, being passive was inevitable.

Although the Flaming Firebird timely rescued Ba Lv from danger, the enemies proved equally cunning.

They used ambushing arrows to prevent the Flaming Firebird from attacking them recklessly, then arranged for combatants to quickly close in on Ba Lv, engaging her directly, thus nullifying the Flaming Firebird’s flame attack to avoid accidentally injuring Ba Lv.

As Ba Lv once again fell into the enemy’s encirclement during a tough battle, Yanran arrived.

Yanran, usually gentle and polite, once in combat, would use any means to eliminate the enemy.

Even Ba Lv, the Dark World assassin, marveled at Yanran’s ruthless methods.

Ba Lv is a Dark World assassin, having participated in countless gang battles within the Dark World, tallying hundreds of fights, with numerous lives claimed.

Yet, observing Yanran against her enemies, sometimes she considered labeling her ruthless.

Yanran arrived, and with her, brought death to the enemies.

Unlike Ba Lv, Yanran constantly kept her steel claws on her hands; even in a hotel, she never removed them.

Ba Lv, curious, asked why Yanran was always on guard.

Guo Ran sighed, recounting, ”If you spent decades on the Nameless Planet filled with all sorts of beasts, you’d understand.”

Ba Lv realized, during her time on the Nameless Planet, Yanran lived under constant threat, unable to evade, having to hunt Wild Lu to survive lest they starve.

Ba Lv had seen scars, almost invisible, on Yanran’s face and body in that beautiful place.

She saw a scar over twenty centimeters long on Yanran’s back, starting from her shoulder.

Yanran explained it came when facing a beast, her weapon knocked away, the beast clawing her from behind as she turned, barely escaping death on the Nameless Planet.

Thus, Yanran developed the habit of never separating from her weapon, fortunately, her steel claws resembled stylish gloves, not drawing attention.

However, Ba Lvluo is different, although once an assassin, she relaxed upon returning from the Dark World to the normal world.

Despite Jiang Cheng reproaching her, she became more alert, yet occasionally forgot things, and carrying her weapon seems impossible.

Now, she paid the price.

If she’d had that short sword — a group of mermaids they inadvertently saved from destruction gifted them an incredibly sharp short sword.
