Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 869 - 867: A True Life-and-Death Battle

Listening to Gu Yuan’s woeful lamentations, Xuan Chu only felt his head buzzing. He was truly fed up!

He immediately interrupted what Gu Yuan was about to say next.

"Soon, stop rushing me!"

Did they really think he didn’t want to be fast? He wasn’t like those people who dawdled.

Gu Yuan was initially playing the emotional card, but upon hearing Xuan Chu’s words, he immediately returned to seriousness.

"I’ll wait for you then."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Yuan looked in the direction of Death Mountain, his eyes clearly showing worry.

"I wonder how the boss and the others are doing."

Despite being filled with concern, Gu Yuan did not let his emotions dictate his actions.

This was enough to show that Xie Xuzhi had excellent judgment in people.

On the other side.

The Black Robed People’s undercover agents were eager to reach their destination quickly.

These people were also known as death stakes, facing only two outcomes: either lurk in the dark for a lifetime,

or when activated, finish the task with their lives, unable to stop unless dead.

The driver, seeing they were approaching the most ambush-prone road, immediately alerted the people in the car.

"Everyone, be on guard; there could be trouble ahead on this road!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the car took out their Magic Artifacts, warily watching the road through the car windows.

Their attitude was highly cooperative, without any rebellion typically seen when companions are reminded.

Everyone was emotionally stable, waiting for the impending events.

It’s said that such death stakes are not jobs for ordinary people; their temperament alone filters out most.

Wanqi Yu’s subordinates patiently watched Five Emperors Mountain with binoculars.

Estimating the time might be right, one of them spoke into the walkie-talkie: "Everyone prepares for battle; those bastards are about to enter our attack range!"

A loud "bang" echoed.

The Black Robed People’s car was hit by pre-set explosive charms, instantly losing its forward drive.

The people in the car weren’t surprised, having been ready early on.

Still, the vicious tactics of the opponent were unexpected.

Based on their past experience, the Special Administration Bureau personnel wouldn’t attack with such ruthless kill strikes.

Had they not held defensive Magic Artifacts, their flesh and bones would have been riddled like the car turned into scrap metal.

"Could these people be Director Xie’s secret weapon, cultivated in the shadows?"

"Hmph~ Hypocrites, always accusing us of cruelty, yet they’re now no better!"

"Be cautious, the explosives were just an appetizer; the coming attacks won’t be weaker than the last!"

Despite the car being smashed into scrap iron, the people inside had no intention of getting out.

Meanwhile, Wanqi Yu’s group stayed hidden, not jumping out directly.

Both sides were composed of calm individuals, enabling them to remain hidden without being discovered.

Currently facing off, they were evidently extremely cautious.

Until a critical moment, none would emerge as targets.

They weren’t facing a competition, but a genuine battle of life and death.

The standoff lasted till nightfall, as stars began to appear in the sky.

Both groups maintained their vigilance, growing even more focused.

Clearly, the critical moment they awaited was near.

Wanqi Yu’s men glanced at those behind them: "They surely can’t guess our identity, despite being cautious, they’d only think we’re trained by the Special Administration Bureau.

We’ll strike them while their assumptions are wrong, hit them by surprise. Later, settle all scores, by any means necessary!"

Their enmity could be traced back a hundred years, such an open chance to take revenge was rare.

Moreover, now they’re guarding the last barrier for the young lady, these people must not cause trouble!

"Boss, rest assured, we’re not slackers. I hold a deep-seated grudge against those bastards; my grandfather died at their hands!"

Those present weren’t forced here by any protocol; they eagerly volunteered.

Revenge is one reason, but it’s also a great opportunity for achievement.

Whether they’re borrowed by the Special Administration Bureau’s Office, or for the young lady, as long as they survive, their future path is broad.

At this moment, everyone’s eyes on the opposite side were as predatory as wolves longing for prey, green with anticipation.

Awaiting the leader’s order, ready to charge.

With a "click," the wrecked car released a sound.

The moment had arrived.

"Charge!"

Both sides clashed instantly, Wanqi Yu’s group briefly gained the upper hand due to superior information.

Typically frugal, they now threw Magic Artifacts and talisman paper without concern.

The combat noise scared the surrounding snakes, insects, and rats immensely.

The rat chewing abandoned its meal, rigidly playing dead on the ground, others would believe it was a dead rat.

A nearby watching snake, intending to swallow the rat after its feast, abandoned the plan completely.

Slithering into deeper brush, wishing it hadn’t been here at all.

The Black Robed People were caught off guard repeatedly, falling behind.

"You’re not Special Administration Bureau people!"

The Bureau wouldn’t know their weaknesses or be sly enough to use Evil Techniques affecting their death prohibition.

The leader, on one knee, blood uncontrollably flowing from his mouth.

Feeling the death prohibition trembling inside him, he could barely contain the fierce determination in his eyes.

"On the brink of death, you talk too much!"

Wanqi Yu’s men wouldn’t relax vigilance or expose identities and cards due to impending enemy demise.

The Magic affecting their death prohibition came from many ancestors’ life sacrifices.

No interest in breaking the villains’ death-by-talking mechanism.

Moreover, they simply capitalized on their opponents’ unfamiliarity.
