Chapter 264: Troubles Follow One After Another (Please Subscribe)
The moment Su Xiang spoke, the already tense atmosphere became even more charged, with Jiang Donghu and his group protecting Pei Jin even more tightly, while the people behind Su Xiang coldly surged forward.
Stopping Shanhe, who was holding an umbrella and ready to step forward, Su Xiang lightly coughed twice and whispered, "Calm down, everyone calm down! Listen to me!" Then he looked at Jiang Donghu, spread his palms like a gentleman, raised a finger, and mocked, "This is a residential area and as messengers of justice, I assume you don't want this fight to harm the innocent, right?"
Observing Jiang Donghu's move towards the ring, Su Xiang hastily reached out to stop him, saying, "NO, NO, NO! Don't make any rash moves. I believe you have a way to teleport her away, but I can clearly tell you that if you send them away, these people here will immediately scatter and pour their uncompleted mission's anger onto the surrounding residents." As he said this, Su Xiang turned aside and pointed at Shitang Longsi, shrouded in a black trench coat with a stern face, introducing excitedly, "These are friends from R B, and I can't guarantee what they'll do."
Hearing these words, Shitang Longsi frowned deeply, extremely displeased in his heart. What kind of statement was this? It sounded like people from RB were born as pathological killers. But due to the mission objective, he had to suppress his anger and plan for the future after completing the mission.
Being told off by Su Xiang like this, Jiang Donghu and others cursed "despicable" in their hearts. Indeed, in their combat plan, they had made such an arrangement. If suddenly attacked by the enemy, they would use a newly-developed one-time-use teleportation array on Pei Jin to ensure her safety. This directional teleportation array would first transmit her back to the Superpower Special Forces.
"I'm fine! Don't worry about me." Pei Jin's voice came from behind. Looking over, they saw her placing an empty yogurt box back into the plastic bag, sighing and saying calmly without hurry.
Clap clap clap! Su Xiang clapped and gave her a thumbs-up, bowing slightly and smiling, "Miss Pei, you're courageous. Rest assured, you're a distinguished guest personally invited by the organization. As long as you agree to come with us, we absolutely won't trouble you and will fulfill all your requests to the best of our ability."
Upon hearing this, Pei Jin shrugged noncommittally, standing gracefully behind Jiang Donghu and quietly waiting for the outcome of this negotiation, holding her bag in both hands.
Wang Tianlai spat on the ground at Su Xiang's feet and contemptuously said, "Bah, you don't think that throwing us a couple of threats will get us to give up resistance and let you take her so easily? Really think I was raised to be scared?"
"How could that be? As long as you don't teleport her away, we won't resort to such underhanded measures. The old rule applies: enter the Jiezhi Space, and then it's all about strength." Su Xiang understood that even though they were at an advantage, they could not press too hard. If the other side truly became desperate and teleported Pei Jin away regardless, then his plan would truly be for nothing. He dared not gamble with his future.
Hearing this, Jiang Donghu and his team exchanged glances. This was the best solution available. With insufficient manpower, they couldn't completely prevent the enemy from slaughtering civilians. Thankfully, when things started going wrong, he had already sent a distress signal to the headquarters. Now, they just needed to delay time and wait for reinforcements.
There was nothing more to say after that. With a flash of light, both sides appeared in the Jiezhi Space. Before anyone could react, Jiang Donghu took out a disc from the ring, activated it with internal energy, and casually threw it on the ground. As the disc continued to expand, it soon formed a circle on the ground large enough for one person to sit or lie in. After completing this, he looked at Pei Jin with a serious expression and ordered in a deep voice, "Quickly stand inside it. No matter what happens outside, don't come out!"
Following this, as soon as Pei Jin stepped inside, the disc emitted a gentle light. Seeing the light barrier rising around her, she glanced at Jiang Donghu outside the wall and burst into laughter, teasing, "So I'm Tang Sanzang, and you're Sun Wukong?"
"Let's just say so. I just hope this time we can keep the master safe." Jiang Donghu chuckled at her words, his dark face showing a hint of bashful response.
"I still don't know your name after all this time."
"Jiang Donghu!"
Watching Jiang Donghu give a carefree OK gesture without looking back, Wang Tianlai pouted, feigning dissatisfaction as he teased, "Okay, so you've exchanged names. After the mission, does that mean you can ask the young lady out for a meal? Is that considered using public office for private gain?"
"Enough! There's no such thing yet. If that day comes, I'll treat everyone to dinner. For now, let's take care of these bastards!" Jiang Donghu finished speaking and swept away his previous shyness, a dignified killing intent emanating from his body.
Before Zheng Jia Ru joined the army, he was considered one of the top young figures in the troop. Even though this rising newcomer had somewhat eclipsed him, his title as the Northwest Tiger was not uttered lightly or for intimidation.
Among the supernaturals, there will be some who stand out far beyond their peers due to their strong abilities. He is one of these oddities, and unfortunately, today he will meet another aberration.
"Mr. Shitang, we still need you to personally handle this here!" Su Xiang stepped back two steps and made a polite gesture towards Shitang beside him. Facing Su Xiang's flattery, Shi Jitang Longsi did not refuse, bowing slightly with a sincere smile.
But once their eyes moved away after they brushed past each other, the previously smiling face of Shitang Longsi instantly became as cold as frost. In a low voice in Japanese, he ordered, "Take action!" Instantly, the four subordinates receiving the command fanned out and charged towards Jiang Donghu and his group.
"Go, according to what we agreed beforehand, help them." Su Xiang turned his head slightly towards Shanhe and Zhi Rou behind him and said softly, emphasizing the word "help."
"Got it!" The two threw aside the umbrellas in their hands with sinister grins, leaping over Su Xiang and charging forward in pursuit.
Faced with double their own number, Jiang Donghu's group remained calm. At that moment, one of the four black-clad men who charged in clasped his hands, causing a large amount of pale yellow liquid to gather in front of his chest. Then, with a flick of his hands, the congealed liquid was flung towards Jiang Donghu's group.
"Stir up the wind!" Although unaware of the liquid's substance, it couldn't be anything good. Seeing this, Jiang Donghu shouted in anger, opened his mouth, and inhaled deeply. His belly slightly swelled as he pressed his hands on his stomach and exhaled a long breath of foul air.
The moment this air left his mouth, it transformed into a gust of wind blowing directly at the attacker. Meanwhile, the opponent didn't have time to react when a bit of red internal energy, thrown in advance, merged into the yellow liquid. In an instant, it turned into a blazing flame, exploding in the air. A fierce wind howled, wrapped in flames, sweeping across the entire scene.
