Starting by picking up a female fan, he swept through the martial arts world.

Jiang Lang frowned deeply. He was 70% certain that the Wei Su expert who had just flashed past was Bai Zhaoli.

Although he didn't witness Bai Zhaoli's attack firsthand when he went to find Ghost Eye that day, he could guess from Wu Lie's account that she was a master of the Wei Su sect. She was a natural-born assassin, no wonder she dared to imitate Mo Li's killings.

But the problem is...

This time the situation is different.

The technique he used on Zi Teng was the Shen Shang Mirror, which allows people to enter an inner world. Because he was worried that the other party would be stressed and have too strong a reaction, he didn't use too much force at all. He just hypnotized the other party, at most making him have nightmares.

These nightmares are easy to wake up from, and once Zifeng regains consciousness, who knows how many people it will shake over.

The regular garrison force consists of a battalion, with several officers at the rank of colonel, plus some additional troops transferred in...

Not good!

Jiang Lang wanted to be angry with Bai Zhaoli, but he couldn't quite bring himself to be.

This chuunibyou girl, having just witnessed the tragic consequences of the Seven Emotions Vine being abused, immediately devised a decapitation plan.

Whether judging by her actions or her intentions, I can't find any fault with her.

Just like myself three years ago.

Do not!

Her execution and decisiveness are stronger than they were three years ago.

"call……"

Jiang Lang exhaled and suddenly picked Gu Manzhi up in his arms.

"what?"

Gu Manzhi gasped softly, glancing around at the desolate, overgrown weeds, her voice filled with anticipation: "We're here, brother?"

Jiang Lang ignored her and started running: "I need to go back later. On our way here, there's a cluster of unfinished buildings with a safe air-raid shelter inside. Wait for me there."

"what?"

Gu Manzhi concealed her disappointment and asked worriedly, "Why do you want to go back? Didn't you say that Xinyue might send experts over?"

Jiang Lang said in a deep voice, "You don't need to worry about that. Just wait for me there."

Looking at his furrowed brows and recalling his sudden change in mood, Gu Manzhi tentatively asked, "Do you have friends over there? Is it dangerous?"

"I guess so!"

"Then go save him quickly. Put me down now, I can manage."

"It's not safe."

Jiang Lang didn't stop for a moment, speeding towards the unfinished building.

Crescent Moon is certainly not entirely useless; without the cover of the Shenshang Mirror, Gu Manzhi's whereabouts would likely be exposed.

Gu Manzhi wrapped her arms around his neck, her eyes filled with a dreamy smile, as if she had returned to that night six years ago.

Suddenly, she remembered something, reached her right hand behind her neck, untied the necklace, and hung it around Jiang Lang's neck: "This is a peace pendant my mother left me, you wear it!"

"This is too expensive, I can't..."

"You can return it to me when you come back safely. I haven't won you over yet, so I can't bear to give it away."

"good!"

Jiang Lang did not refuse again and continued running until he passed a reed bed. He then came down the path and went into the depths of the reed bed.

That area was once part of the newly planned urban area of ​​Yunjin City, but before it could be built, the old era ended. It had experienced several strong radiation attacks, and buildings collapsed one after another. However, the temporary air-raid shelters that had been built were still standing strong. Jiang Lang had stayed there when he was hiding from pursuit.

The two traversed the reed marshes and were about to arrive when they suddenly heard the sound of a car engine coming from the direction of the path.

Jiang Lang couldn't help but look back. He knew that these people were likely reinforcements for Zi Teng, because the surrounding area was almost deserted. Unless it was related to Zi Teng, no one would come here.

He quickened his pace and soon arrived at the air-raid shelter.

He put Gu Manzhi down, clasped his hands together, and soon a dazzling starlight burst forth from them. When the light dissipated, a small mirror appeared in his hand.

He handed the small mirror to Gu Manzhi: "If anyone comes over, just stick the mirror to your forehead. As long as you don't move, no one will be able to find you until it disappears."

"Um!"

Gu Manzhi nodded: "I'll be good, you must come back."

"good!"

Jiang Lang didn't say anything more and strode away from the air-raid shelter. In just a few steps, his physique changed noticeably. His muscles were bulging all over his body, and he looked exceptionally burly. He was completely unrecognizable from his original self.

But she quickly turned back: "Manzhi!"

Gu Manzhi quickly stood up: "Brother, please tell me!"

Jiang Lang was silent for a moment: "Let me use your stockings, I can't show my face..."

Gu Manzhi: "Okay!!!"

Jiang Lang: "..."

She hasn't been too persistent these past few days, but she's been changing her stockings in different ways.

Surprisingly, it actually worked.

……

The moonlight was deathly pale.

Bai Zhaoli followed the tributary of the Qijiang River all the way to the vicinity of her destination.

"call!"

She breathed a sigh of relief and silently immersed her body in the water.

By analyzing water quality data, they determined that there was a plant nearby with an extremely large root system. Only a plant of this size could provide enough nutrients for the seven-emotion vine to continuously produce roots.

When we arrived, we indeed found a large banyan tree, whose root system was even more developed than we had imagined.

That would make things much easier.

Bai Zhaoli took out a syringe. The medicine inside could react with the unique bioalkaloids in the Seven Emotions Vine, releasing extremely strong toxins that would disrupt the vine's homeostasis. Even if the poison didn't kill it, it would greatly reduce its combat power.

I originally planned to get close to the target before poisoning him, but now...

She reached into the riverbed and groped around for a while, and soon found the roots of the banyan tree.

The medicine was then injected directly into the roots of the banyan tree; the medicine was harmless to the banyan tree.

All I need to do is wait until the Seven Emotions Vine shows signs of poisoning, then I can crush its core consciousness in one blow.

With its core consciousness destroyed, the Seven Emotions Vine no longer has the ability to infinitely multiply its vines and cannot be produced in human territory. From now on, the Seven Emotions Vine can only be sold through customs. As long as the Maritime Trade Office conducts detoxification inspections on it, the market will not get out of control.

The injection was completed quickly, but the banyan tree showed no reaction.

Bai Zhaoli breathed a slight sigh of relief, pressed the button on her chest, and soon felt the radiation sources covering her entire body under her leather jacket begin to heat up.

This is a device she co-developed with another friend to enhance radiation pressure, allowing her to exert the combat power of 400 Star Dome for a short period of time, enough to reach the level of a colonel. Combined with the characteristics of the Dangerous Constellation and the first-strike advantage in assassination, she is quite confident that she can assassinate a genuine colonel.

Of course, the price is a prolonged and sharp decline.

However, assassination is all about fleeing immediately if the first strike fails.

The process of concealment is not very taxing; as long as you don't get caught up in a prolonged fight, there won't be any problems.

With the speed of a cultivator from the Dangerous Realm, it would be impossible for an expert of the same level to catch up with her.

You can't exactly say that the security force of the Seven Emotions Vine includes a major general-level expert, can you?

"call……"

Bai Zhaoli took several deep breaths, her body gradually turning into a shadow, and silently swept towards Yuan Linxiang.

Like an ordinary swallow, flying unremarkably at night, it simply swaggered over the garden wall and landed on the banyan tree without causing any reaction.

The Star Cluster Cultivation System works like this: no matter how difficult the cultivation process is, or how strong or weak the combat power is, it can bring out the characteristics of each individual to the extreme, and its characteristics are often the key to victory.

Faced with the characteristics of the Dangerous Star, those scanning instruments and the so-called spiritual senses of experts are no different from mere decorations.

Bai Zhaoli sat on the banyan tree branch, looking at the core of Zi Teng's consciousness not far away, quietly waiting for the Seven Emotions Vine to take effect.

She has already calculated it.

The Seven Emotions Vine takes at most ten seconds from the onset of its symptoms to the collapse of its defenses, and at most five seconds to shatter the core of its own consciousness.

Fifteen seconds was enough time for her to evacuate before reinforcements arrived.

The only uncertainty is when the banyan tree will be able to feed the vine that vial of medicine.

However, there's no need to worry about that.

Because these security personnel could not possibly react in the moments before Zifeng fell ill, there was no difference between falling ill early or late.

"wait!"

Bai Zhaoli closed her eyes, clearing her mind of all distractions, and waited quietly.

But at one moment, she suddenly opened her eyes.

She sensed something was wrong with the Seven Emotions Vine; there was no wind tonight, but the vine leaves were trembling slightly.

It spotted me?

impossible!

If it spotted me, how could it not have made a move?

This involuntary trembling is like enduring pain, but when it's enduring pain, it would surely be frantically sucking sap from the banyan tree, but it isn't now.

This state is like having a nightmare.

But extraordinary plant-based beings simply don't have the instinct to dream!

This is not good!

Bai Zhaoli frowned, sensing that something unexpected was about to happen.

Just as she was about to move further away to observe, the entire garden's lighting system suddenly turned on, illuminating the area around the banyan tree as if it were daytime.

She was startled and quickly adjusted her posture, hiding herself in the shadow of the broken banyan leaves.

After a while.

The roar of sports cars approached quickly, and soon several cars stopped in front of the banyan grove, from which several people got out.

"What's going on?"

Bai Zhaoli was in a state of turmoil. According to the timeline, the Seven Emotions Vine was about to take effect, so why did someone suddenly arrive at this time?

She gripped the watch face in front of her chest, bit her tongue hard, and forced herself to calm down.

In this situation, escape is no longer an option.

I just hope these people leave before the Seven Emotions Vine takes effect.

If he didn't leave, he would have no choice but to be beheaded and risk his life to escape.

The situation is very dangerous.

But as long as there aren't any particularly strong experts here, I'm sure I still have a chance to escape.

however.

A voice coming from outside the woods made her heart sink to the bottom.

"Qingqing? Qingqing?"

Mi Feng called out a few times without response, then his voice filled with anxiety: "Officer Qin! Something must have happened here!"

Bai Zhaoli: "!?!?!"

Staff Officer Qin?

Qin Wei?

Although he did not hold the rank of major general, his personal combat strength was enough to completely overwhelm most of the major generals in the vertical clique.

Finished!

Why is he here?
