Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 178: Chapter 178 Feeling the Onset of Danger

Huo Jingrui thought of it, and Yunyi naturally did too.

After all, she was currently showing her true face. If these people escaped, it would mean no more peaceful days ahead. Once her information reached Wo Country, an endless cycle of revenge would follow.

Their goals now aligned: aside from those captured in the deep mountains, everyone who had just seen her make a move had to be silenced. With no need to take prisoners, their every move was a killing blow.

During the fight, Yunyi didn’t forget to keep an eye on Jingrui. She was surprised to find him still formidable even without Inner Strength.

Of the first group from Wo Country sent on this silencing mission, two were already severely wounded and down.

On her side, Yunyi had already disposed of one Ninja, and another was barely hanging on.

The previous Ninja had been killed swiftly due to his underestimation. The one before her now, however, couldn’t believe that after all his efforts, this young girl had only sustained minor injuries. He knew that if he didn’t win quickly, he would die here.

So, with a feint, he swiftly took a pill from his person and swallowed it. His strength rapidly recovered as his bodily functions were quickly repaired and enhanced.

Yunyi saw his move. She understood that whatever the pill was, good or bad, it was now boosting his combat ability, and she needed to be even more cautious. Moreover, the presence of snipers in the shadows was something that absolutely could not be overlooked.

Just as his movements slowed, Yunyi had already reacted. Not caring if her hand was clean, she wiped it on her clothes, then placed her right index finger into her mouth, drawing forth the Spatial Well Water from her space. This was an ability that came with her advanced spiritual power. Before, to drink the Spatial Well Water, she had to enter her space and fetch it. Now, however, she could summon it with her thoughts. The Spatial Well Water was truly extraordinary, and her physical strength quickly recovered.

And just then, as they both momentarily slowed, she sensed imminent danger.

She dodged a punch from the Ninja in front of her. As she ducked, she threw a sharp dagger, imbued with Inner Strength, in one direction.

Almost simultaneously, a bullet lodged itself in the shoulder of the Ninja she was fighting, piercing through his scapula due to the force. He grunted instantly in pain.

Yunyi saw clearly that the bullet had been aimed at the back of her head. If not for her keen senses, she would already be dead.

Meanwhile, a sharp scream pierced the air. The dagger Yunyi had thrown directly hit the eye of a sniper hidden in a nearby tree, the pain causing him to fall.

The Ninja facing her was indeed formidable. If not for his remarkable agility and timely evasion, that bullet would have struck his heart, given their height difference.

Quick as a flash, Yunyi seized the opportunity. She was faster than the man and struck with a palm filled with potent Inner Strength. Now was not the time for fairness or morality. If they hadn’t provoked her, they wouldn’t be losing their lives.

That palm strike forced the Ninja to retreat over a dozen steps before stopping, and he even vomited blood. Yunyi gave him no chance to escape, sprinting forward and kicking him into the air.

He crashed directly into a large tree behind him. With a sickening SNAP, he barely managed to let out an ”AH” before his head was slammed against another tree trunk, and blood gushed out. Unfortunately for him, two trees grew side-by-side there; his waist was caught by one, and his head was wedged against the other.
