Chapter 2: Lihen Heaven (2)

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Dozens of gunshots rang out.

Originally, the assassins all thought that Long Ying, the number one ranked special forces soldier in the world, was about to meet her end as well. But to their surprise, as the gunshots ceased and the smoke cleared, there were only riddled, bullet-torn seats. Long Ying's body was nowhere to be seen.

"Find her, quickly! This time, we absolutely cannot let her..."

Before the lead assassin could finish his sentence, his head was instantly severed by a spinning Emei Piercer. While the other assassins were struck with shock, they scrambled to redirect their muzzles. Before they could fire again, they were swept away by the whirling Emei Piercers. Dozens of assassins collapsed with a heavy thud.

Those who had yet to see Long Ying could only see two Emei Piercers, flashing with cold light as they spiraled through the cabin, precisely harvesting lives...

Nearly a hundred of Country R's top assassins were being slaughtered like lambs, utterly powerless to resist.

"No, don't kill me! Miss Long Ying, I beg you, I don't want to die yet..." Inside the cabin, the last remaining assassin had wet his pants in terror. He knelt directly on the floor, begging for mercy.

He had never seen or heard of such eerie martial skills. It was truly terrifying. As expected of the special forces soldier who was the only one to leave her name on Country H's Monument of Merit, the one known as the God-Slayer, Long Ying...

"How did you know my whereabouts?"

A cold, low voice rang out from the silent cabin. Long Ying deactivated her stealth device and, as if appearing out of thin air, walked up to the kneeling assassin to question him coldly.

"It was Li Baiyi who betrayed you... He defected to our Country R, and now he is our Country R's highest military leader!" the kneeling assassin confessed hurriedly.

To be betrayed by the man one cherished—for a woman who had held the world in her hands only to give her heart to one person, how cruel it was.

Long Ying's eyes, which had never shed a tear, instantly reddened. Her clear gaze dimmed completely, like a bottomless abyss where a storm was secretly brewing.

Sweet memories tucked away in the crevices of her blade and sword swirled repeatedly in her mind, stinging her nerves more and more intensely, wrenching her heart...

Li Baiyi, you have been using me all along!

"Beep..." The familiar sound of a phone ringing rang out.

Hidden within Long Ying's deep eyes was a murderous intent. She pressed the answer button heavily, but she no longer addressed the person on the other end with any tenderness. She merely pressed her lips tightly together, listening to the nauseating voice coming through the line.

"Hmm? You're not dead yet? As expected of my woman..."

"However, I knew this would be the result all along. So, I left a gift for you on the plane. Don't blame me... In the next life, I will love you properly and work like an ox or a horse to atone for my sins."

Long Ying listened indifferently until the end, when her eyes suddenly widened. Something was wrong with this plane!

"Li Baiyi! Even if I die, I will never let you go!"

"BOOM..."

Long Ying's furious roar was accompanied by a world-shaking explosion. Flames and thick smoke intertwined and bloomed at an altitude of six thousand meters.

In the Country R control room, Li Baiyi stared intently at the signal monitor, his expression one of joy.

The plane exploded! The plane was falling! Long Ying was finally dead for sure. Even if eighty-six elite assassins were sacrificed, it was not a loss worth regretting!

"Beep..." A strange, sharp, long tone caused Li Baiyi's expression to suddenly freeze.

"Wh-what? The plane disappeared? That's impossible!"

On the monitor, Li Baiyi discovered that the falling plane had actually vanished as if by magic!

Could it be that Long Ying...
