Anyway, none of the three major forces in this base were good people, so when Mo Han attacked earlier, he didn’t hold back at all. It also helped him vent his anger, though it used up a lot of his energy.
While running, Mo Han took out two crystal cores to recover his power and tossed two to Xue Ling. Xue Ling had strong teeth—she chewed them a few times and swallowed them. Watching this made Mo Han and the others feel a strange ache in their own teeth.
As they ran, Mo Han was already thinking about how they could escape. After all, their group had offended all three major forces of Qiushui Base. That was basically going against the entire base!
Even though they were strong, the enemy had numbers. Even ants could bite an elephant to death if there were enough of them.
“Brother Yu! You’re here!” a female voice suddenly called out. It was Zhao Qian, who seemed to appear out of nowhere.
Si Tu Yu and Zhou Wu were both surprised to see her. All the women had left together earlier that morning.
Before Si Tu Yu could ask anything, Zhao Qian cried out, “Brother Yu, hurry and save Brother Xue and the others! We ran into people from Tianhuo Hall!”
Mo Han almost felt like coughing up blood. In the original story, Liu Qing and the others got into trouble because they didn’t know the way and accidentally ran into Tianhuo Hall without even disguising themselves. But now, even with Sun Xue and Zhao Qian, how did they still run into them?
What Mo Han didn’t know was that Liu Qing and the others had already been watched when they entered the base. They even ran into a guard who had reported them before. Since they only smeared their faces but didn’t change clothes, they were easily recognized. As for Sun Xue and the others, they were new to the base and didn’t even know where Tianhuo Hall was.
Luckily, Mo Han had already planned to oppose Tianhuo Hall, so he quickly made a decision:
“We’ll go save Sister Liu Qing first. On the other side, Brother Shen Yuan and the others have four level-two ability users, so they should be fine for now. After we rescue Sister Liu Qing, we’ll meet up with them and leave this base immediately.”
Meanwhile, Zhao Yan, who was waiting for help, was puzzled.
“Why hasn’t Zhou Wu come back yet? Did someone stop him on the way?”
He had no idea that Zhou Wu and the reinforcements he brought had already been redirected by Zhao Qian.
At the entrance of Tianhuo Hall, Sun Xue, surrounded by enemies, blamed herself.
“It’s all my fault. If I had known this was Tianhuo Hall, we wouldn’t be in danger.”
Liu Qing comforted her, “Don’t blame yourself. This isn’t your fault. Zhao Qian has already gone to get help. As long as we hold on, we’ll be safe.”
But the situation was bad. Liu Qing’s group were all level-one ability users, and three of them weren’t even combat types. Meanwhile, Tianhuo Hall had two level-two users.
They all regret it now. Shen Yuan had originally planned to send one or two level-two users to protect them, but they refused because they thought their disguise was enough—and they didn’t want men following them. If they hadn’t refused, they wouldn’t be in such danger now.
The leader of Tianhuo Hall, Zhou Hai, laughed lewdly.
“Beautiful ladies, just obey me. I’ll take good care of you.”
Liu Qing shouted coldly, “Shameless!”
Zhou Hai wasn’t angry. He smiled, “Little beauty, that’s not fair. I just want to love you all—how is that shameless? Look—” he showed his white teeth, “I even have teeth, and they’re very nice.”
Before he could finish, two figures suddenly appeared in front of him.
Before Zhou Hai could react, he was punched to the ground.
Si Tu Yu shook his aching right hand and sneered, “Now you really are shameless.” That punch had been full force—his teeth were probably all shattered.
Worried about Liu Qing and the others, Si Tu Yu rushed over as fast as possible. The moment he saw Zhou Hai harassing them, he had Zhao Qian teleport him forward and punched Zhou Hai without hesitation.
“Snow Dance!”
With a loud shout, heavy snow began to fall from the sky. It was a combined attack from Mo Han and Xue Ling.
Si Tu Yu immediately summoned a strong wind. Snow and wind filled the air, blocking the enemies’ vision.
Zhou Wu drove a large bus straight in, knocking several people aside.
“Everyone, get on the bus!”
Once everyone was on board, he stepped hard on the gas, and the bus shot forward like an arrow.
Zhou Hai finally got up, clutching his mouth. He spat out blood mixed with broken teeth and shouted unclearly, “Chase them!”
Inside the bus, Liu Qing and the others finally relaxed.
Liu Qing asked curiously, “Where did you get this bus?”
Zhou Wu replied while driving, “We stole it from Tianhuo Hall while coming here.”
“A patrol vehicle? They use a bus for patrol? What taste… Anyway, where are Brother Shen Yuan and the others?”
Zhou Wu explained, “Brother Cheng ran into people from Shihu Hall while gathering information. They tried to recruit him, but he refused, and a fight broke out. When we arrived, they were already fighting. I was going to get Mo Han’s group for help, but then I ran into Zhao Qian.”
Liu Qing asked worriedly, “Will Brother Shen Yuan and the others be okay?”
“Don’t worry,” Zhou Wu said. “Brother Shen Yuan, Xiao Cheng, and Zhong Tianxiang are all mid-stage level-two ability users. And Zhao Yan also broke through to level two yesterday.”
Liu Qing snorted, “What’s the use of Zhao Yan being level two? He doesn’t have much combat ability—maybe not even better than me.”
Zhou Wu teased, “That’s not what you said when he broke through. Someone looked even happier than him.”
Liu Qing blushed slightly. “Say one more word and I’ll hit you!”
Mo Han quietly asked Si Tu Yu, “So Sister Liu likes Brother Zhao?”
Si Tu Yu nodded. “Yeah, she liked him for a long time. But she’s a battle maniac and doesn’t know how to express it. And Zhao Yan is like a block of wood—he hasn’t noticed at all. It’s their business, so we shouldn’t interfere.”
Mo Han nodded, secretly thinking that Liu Qing and Zhao Yan made a cute pair… though Si Tu Yu and Sun Xue seemed even cuter.
