Just as Mu Jiajia flew backwards, Li Feng stamped his foot on the ground, his entire body shooting fiercely backwards.
Bang, bang!
Two muffled gunshots rang out, two bullets striking accurately at the spot where Li Feng and Mu Jiajia had just clashed.
In that instant, Mu Jiajia’s expression changed dramatically, transforming from a carefree and unrestrained woman into a warrior. Swift as lightning, she hid behind a large rock.
Li Feng turned his head, looking at Mu Jiajia with some surprise. Her agility had caught him off guard; he had never imagined this woman possessed such outstanding skills. Li Feng could not help but sigh inwardly that this woman was truly hiding her depths.
Though surprised, Li Feng’s reaction was not slow. His body leaped, and he ducked behind a large rock not far from Mu Jiajia, his gaze sombre as he watched ahead.
Not far from them, over a dozen black-clad, masked figures appeared in his line of sight, each with cold, stern gazes and murderous intent.
Who were these people?
Li Feng eyed the black-clad, masked figures warily. If he had not reacted quickly just now, he might already be dead. Although this was not his first encounter with assassination, at this moment, he felt an unprecedented rage.
Were these people here to kill him, or Mu Jiajia?
Li Feng could not help but suspect, for Mu Jiajia also possessed exceptional skills and had a mysterious background. If these black-clad, masked figures were after her, then what he had endured today could be called a disaster out of nowhere.
However, Li Feng felt overall that the odds were higher they were after him. After all, the previous assassins had yet to be fully investigated, Cai Die was still at large, and there was the Blood Sand assassin organisation, which was lethal.
Li Feng looked up towards Mu Jiajia, only to find her looking back at him, though her expression was complex at this moment.
Mu Jiajia’s gaze could not help but be complex; not only her eyes, but her thoughts too. Facing the bullets fired by the assassins, dodging was her instinctive reaction, but that very instinct had thoroughly exposed her. This clashed completely with her current facade. She knew that the moment she pushed Li Feng away and dodged the bullets, her mission today had already come to naught.
Yet Mu Jiajia had never expected Li Feng to possess such outstanding skills as well. In her eyes, Li Feng was no waste, merely an ordinary man. If she had not reacted, she would surely have died today; she did not want to die, so she had acted. Had she known earlier of Li Feng’s remarkable prowess, she might have gambled on whether he would protect her.
But now, it was too late to say anything. The plan to get close to Li Feng and sabotage the Fengyuan Group’s chemical machinery had fallen through completely.
Regret, confusion, incomprehension, various emotions flashed through her eyes.
She could not understand how Li Feng had such outstanding skills. Thinking back to Li Feng’s performance today, she realised this Li Feng was utterly different from the intelligence reports. Mu Jiajia even suspected she had targeted the wrong person.
But thinking so much now was pointless. Facing so many assassins, the only way was to resolve the immediate crisis.
Still, were these assassins here for Li Feng or her?
Mu Jiajia had not been in Tianhai City long and was unaware of the attacks Li Feng had suffered there. Given her special identity, she suspected these assassins were after her.
“Kill.”
Just as Mu Jiajia’s mind raced with thoughts, those black-clad, masked figures roared and charged madly towards their hiding spots.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
Bullets rained down densely, pinning Li Feng and Mu Jiajia so they could not raise their heads. Li Feng hid behind the large rock, watching Mu Jiajia while pondering countermeasures.
Mu Jiajia was foe, not friend. While guarding against these black-clad, masked figures, he also needed to watch Mu Jiajia. This was by the riverbank besides, easy to attack but hard to defend. For a moment, he hesitated.
At that point, Li Feng suddenly noticed Mu Jiajia had a small handgun in her hand. She fired two shots at the black-clad, masked figures, and immediately, two of them were hit and fell to the ground.
Where had Mu Jiajia hidden that handgun?
Li Feng could not help but feel puzzled. After all, Mu Jiajia was dressed so scantily, in a short-sleeved top and mini-skirt, with no place to conceal a gun.
Could it be…
Li Feng’s gaze fell on Mu Jiajia’s chest, a wicked smile curling at the corners of his mouth.
“Kill.”
Mu Jiajia’s shots did not quell the black-clad, masked figures’ killing intent; instead, they drew their attention, greatly easing the pressure on Li Feng.
Picking up a few small pebbles from the ground, Li Feng flicked them with his fingers, shooting them out fiercely.
Whoosh, whoosh!
Two pebbles struck two black-clad, masked figures on the forehead. They grunted and collapsed to the ground.
Mu Jiajia looked at Li Feng in surprise. She had not expected him to have such a skill. Regardless of anything else, this alone was enough to make her view him differently.
Was this the waste of the Li family? If Li Feng was a waste, then what were they? Inferior even to waste?
Mu Jiajia could see that Li Feng’s feat was something even her young master Fu Yanxiong could not achieve.
Since Li Feng had such prowess and a sharp mind, why had he willingly been branded a waste for so many years?
Questions swirled in Mu Jiajia’s mind, but there was no time to dwell; the barrage of bullets interrupted her thoughts.
“Seeking death!”
A cold glint flashed in Mu Jiajia’s eyes. It was these people who had ruined her plan and exposed her skills; they all deserved to die.
The black-clad, masked figures reacted swiftly. Li Feng’s sudden move heightened their alertness, and they split into two groups at once: one charging towards Li Feng, the other towards Mu Jiajia.
Looking at the approaching black-clad, masked figures, Li Feng’s brows furrowed. Killing two just now had been retaliation for their attempt on him. He did not want to reveal too much of his strength in front of Mu Jiajia, so it seemed he needed a plan.
Glancing at the river surface, Li Feng’s expression shifted.
As the black-clad, masked figures drew nearer, a cold smile curled at his lips. He rolled on the ground, slapped his palm fiercely against it, then leaped up and jumped into the river.
“Jiajia darling, hold off these assassins first. I am off to fetch reinforcements.”
“Damn it.” Mu Jiajia’s expression changed drastically. She had not expected Li Feng to flee in the heat of battle. With the skills Li Feng had shown, combined with hers, dealing with these black-clad, masked figures would have been effortless. But now Li Feng had run, leaving her alone. Though she was confident she could handle them, it would undoubtedly be a hassle.
Without thinking, Mu Jiajia also wanted to jump into the river and escape.
But it was already too late. The black-clad, masked figures had not anticipated Li Feng fleeing into the river; in their fury, they immediately surrounded Mu Jiajia.
“You all deserve to die.” A chilling killing intent erupted in Mu Jiajia’s eyes, and another handgun appeared in her hand.
Bang, bang, bang…
Mu Jiajia wielded one gun in each hand, stepping out from her hiding spot. With superhuman speed, she dodged the incoming bullets while firing relentlessly from her weapons.
Mu Jiajia had a nickname: Double-Gun Rakshasa. Her marksmanship was divine. At this moment, Li Feng’s departure had thoroughly enraged her, and she showed no mercy. Almost every shot felled a black-clad, masked figure.
“This, how is this possible?”
The leader of the black-clad, masked figures’ expression changed drastically as he watched Mu Jiajia wreak havoc. Without a second thought, he shouted, “Withdraw.”
“Too late to leave now.” A cold gleam shone in Mu Jiajia’s eyes, her icy pupils flashing with terrifying killing intent.
As her words fell, Mu Jiajia leaped forward, pouncing towards the leader of the black-clad, masked figures, her gun firing furiously.
Bang bang bang…
The leader grunted and collapsed to the ground.
Mu Jiajia landed, gazing at the bodies strewn about. A trace of coldness flickered deep in her eyes: “If you want to kill me, then you all deserve to go to hell.”
Glancing back at the river surface, Mu Jiajia said coldly, “Li Feng, I will definitely kill you. Auntie here is not so easy to take advantage of.” With that, she turned and left the scene.
Less than a minute after Mu Jiajia departed, a figure appeared where she had stood moments before.
