Chapter 1698 - 1697: You Cannot Escape
"Aunt Lingsu, it’s been a while since we last met. How have you been?" Bei Yun greeted.
Standing behind him was a large group of black-clad men—more precisely, a circle of black-clad men, each holding a Divine Crossbow.
The Divine Crossbows, created through the collective effort of the Three Kingdoms, were now widely available. The experts from the Duan family were each equipped with one. At this moment, those men were pointing their Divine Crossbows at Qiao Xiaomai, Tong Sanlang, and Bei Lingsu.
"It’s the first time I’ve seen Aunt Lingsu in black. You look truly stunning." Bei Yun gave Bei Lingsu a once-over, his tone genuinely complimentary.
Bei Lingsu, dressed for a night operation, looked exquisitely beautiful.
"Cut the nonsense!" Bei Lingsu spat fiercely upon hearing that. "If you want to fight, just come at me!"
"I won’t fight you, Aunt Lingsu, but you must leave Qiao Xiaomai behind. You and Tong Sanlang might be able to dodge the dense rain of arrows from the Divine Crossbows, but if you’re burdened with Qiao Xiaomai, who knows no martial arts, you absolutely won’t escape." Bei Yun raised his hand as he spoke, pointing around the courtyard. "You’re already surrounded."
As Bei Yun finished his words, Bei Lingsu frowned. She stepped forward a few paces to survey her surroundings. Sure enough, the yard was filled to the brim with a crowd of black-clad men, each armed with a Divine Crossbow.
Her elegant brows furrowed tightly. Bei Yun’s pace of manufacturing the Divine Crossbows was unexpectedly swift.
"Aunt Lingsu, how did you learn Martial Arts?"
The Martial Arts technique was unique to his faction—a method that completely conceals one’s presence, allowing an ambusher to strike with pinpoint accuracy.
