Unusual Fate Records

Chapter 245, Section 036: Touching the Forbidden One
The charging riders, relying on their years of combat experience, suddenly sensed something was wrong and instinctively stopped in their tracks.

"Come!"

Overcome with bravado, she disregarded her office skirt, her long legs straddling her waist as she pulled the lever of the strange weapon at her waist. The moment she pulled the trigger, the ferocious recoil of seventy kilograms pressed firmly against the woman's body.

The compressed air blast exploded with a loud "bang".

In the darkness, a streak of orange-red flame illuminated the sky.

A 20-meter-long fire dragon roared up from the nozzle of the jet engine. As the woman turned around, the burning fire dragon splashed flames, leaving a scorched mark on the fields it passed through.

All the Fate Masters were startled by the sudden appearance of the fire dragon, and everyone retreated sharply. Even Zhang Xixi, who was casting the Flame Exorcism Spell, was forced to stop controlling the fireball.

The out-of-control fireballs exploded haphazardly around the woman, illuminating her grinning profile in a bright red light. With the rhythm of the firelight, she became even more radiant and captivating.

"Wow...so amazing..." San Shui Lin Xin watched the woman's back as a crimson dragon, under her control, rampaged wildly, catching the opponents off guard and forcing them to dodge.

Suddenly I think this carefree, tough girl who dares to show off her long legs is actually quite cool.

"How is the recovery going?" Jin Ziyue quietly withdrew and inquired about Sanshui's condition.

"The Spirit Ascension Array heals quickly, and you can continue to summon the Sword Attendant."

“No, leave immediately.” Jin Ziyue looked at her and said solemnly.

"And what about you?" Sanshui asked with concern.

“I won’t get into pointless entanglements with them,” Jin Ziyue said.

Sanshui gazed at him intently, her lips parted slightly, but the words remained unspoken. She knew that Jin Ziyue had always been cautious and meticulous, his utmost care ingrained in his very being, so he was unwilling to let her take any risks.

But the danger emanating from a man is like perfume—it's addictive, and you only realize you're deeply poisoned when you're completely hooked.

San Shui Lin Xin used this reasoning to convince herself.

"Ruolan can't hold out for long. You leave first, and we'll cover the rear." Jin Ziyue had a better understanding of the situation. If these people could be assassinated, there was no need to fight them to the death. Open combat would only increase the risk.

"I understand." The man's unquestionable gaze made Sanshui Linxin lower her eyes and silently walk out of the Spirit Ascension Array.

"There's a truck on the main road leading out from here. Fu Xun will be there to meet you."

No wonder.

San Shui Lin Xin never saw Fu Xun from the beginning, but knowing the relationship between Jin Zi Yue and Fu Xun, she must have some more important mission to carry out.

I never expected him to value his own safety so much.

"Mm," Sanshui replied, then turned and left.

Chen Ruolan glanced at the movements of the two people behind her and muttered to herself with satisfaction, "They're quite sensible."

She shifted the heavy weapon up a notch, and the fire dragon's firing rate suddenly increased, unexpectedly extending by five meters. This sneak attack startled the six Fate Masters on the other side, who hurriedly rolled backward.

Wei Zheng looked at the greatsword that was blocking his way. It was covered with charred oil stains. The fuel on the flamethrower had sprayed out and would continue to burn if it got on the target, causing a secondary burning effect.

Zhang Rang ran fast, but because he was at the front, he also suffered a lot.

Chu Pingqiu's suit was burned, so he simply took it off, revealing a white-collared shirt underneath, and his face contorted with rage: "You stinking woman."

Zhang Xixi tried to control the flames of the heavy weapon, but even with the Flame Exorcism Spell, she could only manage to hold her own against the flames and could not advance an inch.

“They’re trying to escape.” Wei Zheng’s face turned cold. The moment he showed any intention of rushing forward, the fire dragon would accurately target the area in front of him.

"Is this woman crazy? Where does a flamethrower have such a high reserve of fuel? How long can she be so arrogant?" Chu Pingqiu cursed.

"Ugh! Ugh ugh ugh!" Zhang Rang stammered, and no one could understand what he was saying.

Seeing that the girl behind Jin Ziyue had already left, everyone became anxious. Chu Pingqiu threatened, "Run! Go ahead and run if you dare. You can run away, but you can't hide forever. Don't think I don't know whether you care about the owner of that rice noodle shop or not!"

Jin Ziyue had already prepared a smoke bomb, but upon hearing his shout, his hand froze.

“Three people, guess which one will die tonight?” The more he spoke, the more smug he became. “Don’t worry, they’re all tied up, none of them will get away!”

Because they were far apart, they couldn't see Jin Ziyue's face clearly, but judging from his actions, the provocation had obviously worked.

Chu Pingqiu's lips curled into an arrogant smile as he said, "Please, next time you're on the run, don't drag your family along, okay? Are you afraid they won't make it to their next life? Knowing full well that you're guilty of heinous crimes, you still drag your friends down with you. You truly are a cold-blooded killer."

"What? Are you angry? Not running away anymore?" Chu Pingqiu's eyes lit up with joy as he relentlessly continued, "If you beg for mercy, they naturally won't have to die. Hand over [Hundred Rivers Converge into the Sea] obediently and commit suicide on the spot, and I guarantee they'll see the sun tomorrow."

The flamethrower suddenly stopped.

The night wind carried a scorching smell; the spilled fuel was still burning, and fan-shaped patches of scorched earth appeared between the ridges of the fields.

Chen Ruolan suppressed her original smile, the curve of her smile becoming taut and straight, her eyes slightly open, like a flamethrower ready to fire.

"They're talking about Yan Wuxun, aren't they?" The woman's voice suddenly took on a chill.

"Hmm." Jin Ziyue silently stepped forward and replied.

"Although their methods of threatening were clumsy, I must say, they were very effective." Chen Ruolan's voice lowered a few decibels again, and she even put away her heavy weapons. The harp-shaped flamethrower was pressed against the ground, and the high temperature caused it to emit blue smoke on the sand.

Jin Ziyue was closest to Chen Ruolan, and he could feel the intense fluctuations of the [Tiger Silent Incense]'s destiny text spreading rapidly. Although he couldn't suppress the other party's destiny text, the benefits to the holder were soaring dramatically, like molten lava from the ground, shaking the earth. Once it erupted, it would be a picture of the apocalypse.

"Not running away anymore?" Chu Pingqiu vaguely felt something was wrong, but since things had come to this point, he had no choice but to go down this path. He said, "If you dare to resist, I'll contact the people over there right now and kill one of them on the spot."

Wei Zheng glanced at him but didn't say anything.

Zhang Rang tilted his head and made a "hmm" sound.

They had no idea when Chu Pingqiu found his so-called accomplices or when he had tied them up.

But sometimes, being despicable has its advantages.

Jin Ziyue's face was unusually pale, covered in frost, clearly a completely different person from the calm and composed desperado he had been before.

"I'm not giving you time to think. Tell me, are you going to hand over [Hundred Rivers Converge into the Sea] or not?" Chu Pingqiu enjoyed being the center of attention. Under the astonished gazes of his teammates and the predatory eyes of his enemies, he deeply felt their incompetence.

In comparison, the one who turned the tide of the battle is the true victor.
