Chapter 1: Lihen Heaven (1)

The snow-covered peak was a place seldom visited by humans. A biting, knife-like wind howled past, swirling gusts of frost and snow into a frantic dance across the sky.

At the summit, between the sheer cliffs and precipices.

A mutated wolf-headed beast clad in silver-white armor, standing as tall as a man and measuring nine feet in length, led hundreds of silver-armored wolves in a frantic flight. Their speed was like an inverted waterfall; as they raced, countless boulders were trampled and sent tumbling to the bottom of the cliff, crushed into fine powder...

"You can't escape..." A woman's cold, crimson lips curled slightly, a bloodthirsty, chilling smile staining the corners of her mouth.

As her words fell, a pair of massive silver iron wings suddenly unfurled from behind her.

Long Ying’s lithe figure soared into the air like a falcon. Her body paused momentarily in mid-air.

*Swish...*

A sharp sound of breaking air rang out as Long Ying’s agile form traced a beautiful silver arc through the frost-filled sky, instantly vanishing into the snowy peak.

Chaos and fury. One hundred and twenty-eight silver-armored wolves trampled the ground manically.

Their sharp fangs could easily end the life of a grown man, yet now, they were all cornered at the edge of a cliff by a single, pretty woman, unable to advance or retreat.

"Country H is not a place for you to be! Let me send you on your way..."

As she spoke, Long Ying and the wolf pack launched their attacks simultaneously.

Streaks of cold light accompanied splashing blood. The blood falling onto the snow bloomed like lotuses, strangely enchanting and piercing to the eye...

Long Ying remained expressionless throughout. Every strike was capable of slicing directly through ten centimeters of silver armor. Utilizing the sharpness of her Emei Piercers, she severed tendons and broke bones without hesitation.

The wails of the silver-armored wolves were accompanied by the heavy thuds of falling bodies. A thick, inescapable scent of blood gradually permeated the air.

In the blink of an eye, over a hundred had fallen. With her absolute suppression of strength, there was no suspense at all.

It wasn't until an abrupt ringing sound echoed that the last silver-armored wolf leader also fell with a roar, drawing his final breath with eyes wide open.

From the chest of the fallen wolf leader, a translucent, emerald-green gemstone suddenly rolled out. It was strikingly conspicuous amidst the blood-stained snow.

With a *shua* sound, Long Ying retracted her Emei Piercers. With a deft twist of her hands, the two piercers transformed into bracelets, fitting snugly onto her wrists. She then picked up the emerald gemstone and casually stuffed it into her pocket.

"Hey? It's Bai Yi..." Her bloodthirsty and cold expression instantly softened.

"Why did it take so long to answer? Are you on a mission again? Are you actually going to attend our wedding or not!" On the other end of the line, Li Bai Yi clearly had a temper.

"I'll be there soon!" Long Ying replied with a light laugh, immediately pressing the end call button.

As she hurried along without pause, her mind was filled with thoughts of a happy married life, and her smile grew sweeter and sweeter. It wasn't until she boarded the plane that Long Ying failed to notice that the flight attendants and passengers on this small aircraft were moving with unusual agility.

*Click...*

Inside the cabin, nearly a hundred dark gun barrels were aimed squarely at Long Ying's head. The people holding these guns were elite assassins from Country R. Each one was capable of hunting a hundred silver-armored wolves. To have eighty-six elite assassins arrive at once was absolutely unprecedented.

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