Standing in the middle of the wide road, Gu Xiaoxi watched as Quan Shaoqing’s car got farther and farther away.

She took out a weapon from her pocket, closed her eyes, and listened to the sounds around her.

A moment later, a series of rapid footsteps approached her side swiftly from a distance.

"One, two, three, four, five, six... nine, ten... fifteen, sixteen, seventeen!" Gu Xiaoxi suddenly opened her eyes and couldn’t help but laugh. Just dispatching these few people, they still wanted to stop them from completing the mission at last?

The weapons research base of each dynasty was an existence cloaked in secrecy.

These people simply couldn’t have set up a defense in advance, the only way to stop the three scientists... was to pursue and ambush at the right place.

If the other side were a bit more formidable, mutual destruction wasn’t out of the question.

But Gu Xiaoxi wouldn’t give them the chance.

That group was hiding in the jungle, running at a very high speed.

Quan Shaoqing’s military vehicle, carrying the scientists, obviously couldn’t drive at the highest speed, so the people pursuing them from the forest had followed them all the way here, making one admire their stamina.

From this, one could surmise that their speed and skill were all extraordinary.

Gu Xiaoxi quickly turned and entered the forest, immediately blocking the path of those people.

"Quite the guts, daring to chase all the way here."

The crowd only saw that the bright noon sunlight illuminated the forest.

The woman’s hair was dark as ink, tightly tied in a ponytail, under the black beret, her military uniform striking.

Her stature was naturally tall, standing out from the ordinary, with a face so delicate it seemed like she had stepped out of a painting.

At that moment, she held her gun in both hands, her posture proud as she looked at everyone.

Obviously, it looked as if one would have to step over her dead body to pass.

"Overrating oneself can lead to suffering!" the man leading the pursuers raised his hand, stopping the dozen or so people behind him, and when he looked at Gu Xiaoxi, his face showed no hint of panic.

"Who sent you... Are you an enemy of Liuli Country?" Gu Xiaoxi did not retreat but advanced a step closer to the other side.

Seventeen strong and sturdy men, how could they possibly be afraid of a little woman.

"No need for chatter, you go ahead and complete the mission. We’ll take this woman, capture her, and take her back to be the Bandit Chief’s Wife. The boss’s harem will have another beauty," said a crude man with a muscular body and a tattooed bald head.

"Xiao San, you better catch her and don’t let her escape. Once the master sees your sincerity, he will surely be delighted," the leading man pushed his sunglasses, his square face looked honorable, but his words were sinister and merciless.

With that, he directed the ten people behind him and said with a smile, "Follow me, the rest stay here to capture her and then come to support."

As the leading man was about to leave,

Gu Xiaoxi sneered, "Letting you walk past me would indeed be a loss of face."

And she, as the Child of God, was she just for show?

"Woman, your opponent is me, let’s see if you can..." Come on! The man called Xiao San spoke with a sinister tone. However, suddenly, his voice came to an abrupt halt.

The leading man turned back to look and saw Xiao San’s neck with a gash, currently spewing blood outward.

Under the sunlight, the leaves and branches were stained with bright red.

An eerie chill spread through the forest, and instinctively, the leading man looked at the weapon in Gu Xiaoxi’s hand.

She hadn’t fired her gun, how exactly did she kill their comrade?

Gu Xiaoxi reached up to remove the hat on her head and tossed it lightly, hanging it on a tree branch behind her.

In a spark of flint, the leading man sensed danger, and together with his other teammates, they shot at Gu Xiaoxi all at once.

Gu Xiaoxi moved incredibly fast, twisting around and leaping away as bullets destroyed the trees behind her.

Her body was as light as a swallow’s, as she leapt high and somersaulted through the air.

She was like an exceptional dancer, bullets grazed by her but failed to touch even her clothes.

"Who are you?" the leader of the men cried out in alarm. What Gu Xiaoxi used was not qinggong, she moved about in the air effortlessly.

"Who I am is no longer something you have the chance to know," Gu Xiaoxi sneered, reaching out to throw a special forces’ dizzying fragrance bomb into the crowd.

Those who reacted slowly inhaled several breaths of the enchanting smoke and immediately fainted.

Those who reacted quickly had already turned to run back.

From the beginning, the killing intent emanating from Gu Xiaoxi had frightened them. In particular, her silent and effortless killing of Xiao San, showing no fear of their weapons, was terrifying.

Moreover, it was obvious from Gu Xiaoxi’s reaction speed that she was incredibly fast.

Especially, her calm in the face of danger made everyone feel even more threatened.

Thud, thud, thud...

Several more sounds of blood splattering were heard.

Four more enemies fell, this time all pierced through the chest with daggers.

Especially since the daggers used on them were identical, even the targeted spots were the same.

"Demon..." The leader of this mission instinctively spat out the word and ran back without a second thought.

It seemed this mission was destined to fail.

Gu Xiaoxi was not about to give him a chance to escape.

This leading man, she planned to take him as a prisoner.

At any cost, she had to capture him and bring him back for a thorough interrogation, to find out who exactly dared to openly oppose Liuli Country.

The leading man hadn’t taken many steps before suddenly four daggers appeared in front of his chest.

The sharp blades pressed against the position of his heart, and he was so frightened that he dared not move.

At that moment, Gu Xiaoxi descended from above his head and landed in front of him, her movements light and free.

"Do I knock you out and tie you up to take you back, or do you come with me now?" Gu Xiaoxi asked, removing one of the daggers from his chest.

The remaining three daggers immediately leapt up, circling the man’s neck.

The daggers hung in the air, perched upon the man’s neck, creating a scene that was eerie to behold.

Seeing that he could not escape, he clenched his fists nervously and snorted coldly, "I will absolutely not disclose anything."

Saying so, he launched an attack on Gu Xiaoxi without regard for the daggers at his throat.

His fist, carrying a fierce cold wind, aimed viciously at Gu Xiaoxi.

This punch, using all his lifelong inner strength, twisted the air as it flew.

Gu Xiaoxi was startled and instinctively retreated, flipping her body to evade.

She withdrew her daggers, surprised by the man’s skills, as his punch was dangerous enough to pose a threat to her... It meant he had some abilities!

But defeating her? That was absolutely impossible.

Gu Xiaoxi didn’t hesitate to attack the man.

After exchanging blows swiftly for more than a dozen rounds, they both had a measure of each other’s abilities.

The leading man knew he couldn’t defeat Gu Xiaoxi.

Seeing that Gu Xiaoxi wanted to capture him, without a thought, he turned and fled.

"Thinking of escaping, it seems you still don’t understand my intent," Gu Xiaoxi’s eyes chilled, and she immediately flew forward, landing a punch on the back of the fleeing man.

The punch carried fifty percent of her inner strength.
