Qian Jialin chose to retreat rather than attack. It was not that Qian Jialin did not have the courage to fight, but that Qian Jialin did not know how long this Mirror Shield could last. If he did not bring the princess, of course, he could give it his all. But with the princess, he had to consider the princess's safety first, not showing off.
However, as a soldier of the Federation, it was not their style to be passive. Qian Jialin was willing to retreat because he wanted to wait for Mu Youyun to arrive.
Along the way, Qian Jialin kept contacting Mu Youyun. He believed that Mu Youyun was not far away from them.
Mu Youyun's communicator vibrated. He looked at it and his expression changed.
At this moment, the staff member who was leading the way suddenly ran forward. Mu Youyun's eyes flashed coldly. He dodged and a loud bang was heard. The staff member fell to the ground and slid a few meters away.
Mu Youyun took a step forward and reached the other party. He grabbed the other party's neck and lifted him up. "Where is the princess?"
The staff member spat out a mouthful of blood and smiled coldly at Mu Youyun.
Mu Youyun had a headache. Although Qian Jialin's message told him the room number, Mu Youyun realized that even though they passed by the same room, he didn't find any traces of the other party. Without a doubt, they had been set up. Mu Youyun felt that they were in different rooms.
"Captain, leave it to me." In this maze-like passageway, if they wanted to find the princess's real location, they had to rely on the other party's guidance. Therefore, they had to pry open the mouth of this staff member. Fortunately, one of the team members who came along was an expert in this area.
Mu Youyun threw the staff member to the back. The team member caught the staff member and took out a small box from his pocket. He opened it and there were three syringes inside. There was also a medicine tube that was half the size of a finger at the side.
The staff member's expression changed when he saw the syringes. He struggled with all his might but Mu Youyun had already injured his organs. His internal injuries worsened. Blood flowed out of his mouth again.
The team member immediately took out a tube of medicine and injected it into the other party's arm with a syringe. The staff member's face began to contort, as if he had fallen into an extreme fear hallucination. In less than 30 seconds, he was in a semi-conscious state. His whole body was drenched in sweat, as if he had just been fished out of the water.
Finally, the effects of the drug wore off. Just as the team member was about to interrogate him, the staff member suddenly gritted his teeth … The team member's expression changed, and he quickly grabbed the staff member's jaw, but it was already too late. The staff member was already bleeding from all seven orifices, and in a few seconds, he took his last breath.
"Damn it, he actually chose to commit suicide." The team member said in annoyance. He didn't think that an ordinary staff member would have such a method of suicide that only freelance assassins would use.
Mu Youyun said seriously, "It seems like we made a mistake."
He and Qian Jialin both thought that the force that wanted to assassinate the princess would definitely not do it in the auction. After all, the auction represented Aoqi, and Aoqi was neutral. In order to maintain their neutral position, they would definitely not participate in this assassination. Now, it seemed that Ao Qi didn't have any scruples at all. Could it be that he was going to remove this layer of cloth? Or was it that he was confident that none of them would be able to escape so there was no need to hide anymore?
If it was the latter, they were in a dangerous situation. Mu Youyun's heart instantly sank.
Suddenly, he heard a series of footsteps from both ends of the corridor. His expression changed drastically. He saw a tightly shut door at the side, and without thinking, he used all his Qi-Jin to attack the door.
"Bang!" A loud sound was heard. The entire corridor shook violently. Mu Youyun's huge strength left a huge dent on the door. The door was made of stainless steel. Even though Mu Youyun used all his Qi-Jin, he couldn't destroy it.
Mu Youyun was prepared for this. He followed up with a whirlwind kick. The damaged door could no longer withstand the force of the kick. It broke and revealed a gap for Mu Youyun to sneak in.
"Enter!" Mu Youyun ordered. His five team members cooperated and entered. When Mu Youyun was the last to enter, numerous armed men appeared at both ends of the corridor.
When they saw Mu Youyun entering the room, the armed men rushed over. Before they got close to the door, they pulled the trigger in their hands. In an instant, the half-destroyed door was filled with bullets.
However, no one noticed that a mirror-like light shield had appeared in the gap created by the kick, blocking the incoming bullets.
Mu Youyun looked at the powerful light shield in his hand. He couldn't help but remember the time when they came to the auction. The member of the Lingtian Battle Team, who looked timid but hid behind the arrogant Young Master Zhang, secretly passed this little thing to him and Qian Jialin when no one was looking. He even thoughtfully wrote a small note on how to control it.
At that time, he and Qian Jialin didn't care about this little thing. Although they felt that it wasn't very useful, they were still very grateful for the care from their comrades. Never would they have thought that this little thing that they had looked down upon would play such a big role and save their lives.
However, although their lives weren't in danger now, it wasn't easy for Mu Youyun and his team members to escape from the enemy's encirclement. The longer Mu Youyun and his team members were trapped here, the more dangerous it would be for them. This was because the energy of the light shield was limited. Once the energy was depleted, the six of them wouldn't be in a good situation.
Mu Youyun and his team members were trapped in the room. Qian Jialin brought the princess and retreated through the corridor … However, another armed team was approaching them. They were getting closer and closer. In two to three minutes, Qian Jialin would be trapped like Mu Youyun.
Ling Lan, who was still on the ninth floor, stopped in her tracks. She frowned and ordered, "Zhao Jun, Zilong, go to the seventh floor and save Senior Colonel Mu Youyun."
Along with Ling Lan's order, a map of the auction house was sent to Zhao Jun and Zilong's communicators. On the map, Mu Youyun's current location and the enemy's location were marked with green and red dots.
Zhao Jun and Zilong were stunned. They immediately replied, "Understood." Then, the two of them disappeared from Ling Lan's sight.
"Are there powerful people over there?" Li Lanfeng asked in a low voice.
"Ten Qi-Jin masters are rushing towards Senior Colonel Mu Youyun's location. Senior Colonel Mu Youyun might not have enough people. With Zhao Jun and Zilong's help, the pressure on them will be lighter." Ling Lan rushed all the way but she had Little Four so she was able to monitor the entire auction house. Hence, she knew the enemy's arrangement and Mu Youyun's and Qian Jialin's locations.
Ling Lan could send Li Lanfeng, Li Yingjie, and the rest to Mu Youyun's side. She could also save the princess herself. However, Ling Lan felt that people would only grow when faced with difficulties. It was eight against ten. A little bit of pressure would only benefit Zhao Jun and Zilong. This was why Ling Lan only sent the two of them.
Of course, this was also because Zhao Jun and Zilong had already reached the peak of Qi-Jin. Zilong was at the final stage of Qi-Jin. Zilong still needed more training to reach the domain stage.
"Quick, hurry up!" A twelve-man armed combat team was rushing towards Qian Jialin's escape route.
Seeing that as long as they passed through the three-way junction, they would be able to intercept the other party, the captain of the team was overjoyed. If he led the team to kill those people in the end, he would definitely be put in an important position by the higher-ups. The captain seemed to have a bright future ahead of him, as well as a brilliant life.
Just as he was about to reach the three-way junction, three people suddenly appeared from the other side. Two of them were wearing masks while the other one was wearing a black close-fitting helmet.
The team leader was stunned. He didn't even think before shouting, "Who are you?"
'Did the boss send someone else?' This question flashed across the team leader's mind. Before he could think of anything else, he saw the three people pouncing towards them like ferocious tigers.
"Bang!" The captain was sent flying by the leader and fell heavily to the ground. He spat out a mouthful of blood and struggled to stand up. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a black figure appear from the three-pronged passageway and slowly walk towards Her Royal Highness.
The team leader didn't have time to think. The person in the black close-fitting helmet punched him again. This time, the team leader finally managed to fight back.
The two fists collided with a loud bang. The team leader was sent flying again. He landed heavily on the ground. This time, he couldn't stand up. He could only twitch uncontrollably on the ground. Blood kept flowing out of his mouth.
"Why didn't I receive any news about such a strong enemy? What happened to the control room? " Before the team leader lost consciousness, he only had this question in his mind. The enemy came too suddenly. The team leader and his team of 12 were almost unprepared. They were defeated by the three people.
In the control room, they only realized the problem now. Of course, it wasn't because they discovered Ling Lan and the others. It was because the team of 12 armed soldiers they sent to surround the princess suddenly disappeared from their screens. No matter how stupid the people in the control room were, they knew that something had happened.
When Brother Xu received this news, he almost smashed the monitor in the room. He contacted the imperial level hacker who was guarding the auction house. The conclusion he got was that they were attacked by hackers. The lowest level hacker was also imperial level.
Brother Xu's suspect was the Yun family. After the imperial level hacker at the auction house investigated, he found traces of the hacker from the Yun family. Thus, the hacker from the Yun family and the imperial level hacker at the auction house had a dangerous battle. As for the result … no one knew.
Everyone who was fighting at the auction house didn't know that in the world they couldn't see, there was another battle going on. However, the level of danger wasn't any less than theirs. In the battle in the virtual world, the loser had to pay a heavy price. For example, the loser's brain would be damaged. The loser would become a mentally handicapped person who couldn't take care of himself. There were even cases where the loser would become brain dead and become a person in a vegetative state.
Qian Jialin held the mirror shield and ran quickly with the princess. This chase had been going on for five to six minutes. Luckily, the mirror shield's energy was stronger than he expected. It didn't seem to be running out.
However, Qian Jialin was worried. He thought that Mu Youyun would arrive in two to three minutes. However, he didn't see Mu Youyun. He knew that Mu Youyun might have been lured away by his opponent. This meant that he could only rely on himself now.
Suddenly, a figure flew over from the opposite side. He came too quickly and too suddenly. Qian Jialin didn't expect his opponent to fight him in close combat after shooting for so long.
The opponent's fist landed on the mirror shield. The huge force caused Qian Jialin to slide back a few meters. Even the mirror shield, which had always been strong, dimmed for a moment.
"So, it's not as hard as a rock." A faint voice sounded in front of Qian Jialin, and the bullets that were originally unceasing stopped at this moment. It seemed that the opponent realized that guns were useless so he chose to fight in close combat. In fact, when one's physical skills reached the Qi-Jin stage, guns weren't very useful.
Before Qian Jialin could recover from the shock, the opponent pounced on him again. This time, he punched the mirror shield even harder than before.
Qian Jialin deactivated the mirror shield and punched back.
"Bang!" The two fists collided, and that person was sent flying. Qian Jialin took three steps back. Although Qian Jialin retreated, his reaction was very quick. He activated the mirror shield again, and covered himself, the princess, and the others behind him.
No one knew if the opponent would attack again. Qian Jialin didn't want to give him any chance.
The attacker fell into the midst of the armed men who were chasing after him. He bounced up and saw that Qian Jialin and his men had escaped while they were in a hurry. A trace of shame and resentment appeared in his eyes.
"Luo 'er, although you are a genius, there are many powerful people in this world." An old man suddenly appeared beside the person and patted his back.
"I know. Grandpa, I want to fight with them." The person called Luo 'er said firmly.
"Okay!" The old man waved his hand. The armed men stopped in their tracks and started to retreat.
Qian Jialin was stunned when he saw the strange scene. However, he didn't hesitate. He took the opportunity to run with the princess. He wanted to increase the distance between them.
