The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

It was already past 2 a.m., and there was still a slight chill in the air in the countryside in June.

Or is there another reason?

Lu Yuan's hair stood on end, and he frowned. He quickly walked to the second car and knocked on the window.

"What is it?"

Shen Qiubing's voice came from inside, still calm and indifferent, devoid of any emotion.

Since the team entry assessment, Shen Qiubing suddenly came to see him, her attitude completely changing. As teammates, although he and Lu Yuan spent almost every day together, their usual communication was limited to official business.

It was as if she wanted to completely separate herself from Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan didn't know why Shen Qiubing had suddenly changed like this. After all, they had spent several nights together at the Shen family's house, and Lu Yuan thought he had performed well. Now, recalling the process, he felt it was also a wonderful experience.

Shen Qiubing refused to communicate, and Lu Yuan had no choice but to endure it for the time being.

"Get out of the car, something's happened."

Without bothering to explain, Lu Yuan said in a low voice.

Click!

Immediately afterwards, the car door opened, and Shen Qiubing helped her employer out of the car.

Although she tried her best to keep her distance from Lu Yuan, Shen Qiubing trusted him exceptionally much more than ordinary team members, even unconditionally.

"What happened...?"

Song Pandun, who was on night watch, looked over and couldn't help but ask a question.

After all, if it's just getting up to use the toilet at night, there's no need for so many people to come together.

But before he could finish speaking, his expression suddenly changed drastically.

In the distance, a bright spot could be seen flying towards them from the horizon.

The bright spot was moving incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye it was right in front of them. Only then did everyone hear the whooshing sound that tore through the sky.

It's a missile!

Song Pandun rushed over, his first instinct being to protect his employer.

But it was too late.

Boom!

Amidst a deafening roar, a large burst of flames erupted, striking vehicle number two precisely, engulfing the employer and Shen Qiubing who had just alighted from the vehicle.

The next moment, in addition to the two closer vehicles being affected by the blast wave to varying degrees, the impact created a strong shockwave that nearly overturned the two farther vehicles as well.

"What happened?!"

As elites, the others reacted extremely quickly, getting out of the car almost the instant the explosion occurred.

Everyone's expression changed drastically when they saw the large ball of flames erupting from the second vehicle.

"Fuck him!"

Realizing what was happening, Jin Xinxin let out a loud curse and rushed over.

If the employer dies, the mission will fail!

The others didn't care about anything else and rushed forward almost simultaneously.

Buzz!

But just then, a buzzing sound rang out, and a golden hue suddenly appeared within the flames.

The next moment, a huge golden bell burst through the flames, pushing away all the still-burning flames.

Beneath the golden bell, Lu Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, while Shen Qiubing nervously protected her employer with her body. All three of them were safe and sound.

"Very good."

"Damn! No wonder it's called Seven Killers!"

Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

As expected of their team's free agent, he always appears in the right place at the right time!

"Watch out! Someone's coming!"

At this moment, Lu Yuan gave another stern reminder.

The others tensed up again and looked in the direction from which the missile had been fired.

That's right, if they miss their first strike, they won't just give up.

Clearly, this was an assassination attempt targeting the employer!

As for why someone would assassinate the employer, their mission was to escort him, so it's perfectly normal to have a few assassins along the way.

With the Golden Bell Shield removed, the employer temporarily stepped back, and Lu Yuan and Shen Qiubing quickly joined the group.

Just as Lu Yuan had predicted, three figures sped toward them through the pitch-black night.

"Only three?"

"Holy crap! They're all at the Warrior General level!"

The next sentence wasn't from Jin Xinxin, but from Lu Yuan.

It wasn't simply because of Jin Xinxin's influence; it was only when he discovered that the other party consisted of three warriors that he couldn't help but swear.

The others looked at Lu Yuan and couldn't help but widen their eyes.

As Lu Yuan's teammates, they had become aware of his ability to judge others' cultivation levels to a certain extent after two or three months of missions.

Therefore, no one doubted what Lu Yuan said.

For a moment, everyone's expression turned serious.

Even if they formed a battle formation, they could only deal with two generals.

But the other side has three.

"Beginner or intermediate?"

Jin Xinxin asked in a low voice. As for why she didn't ask about the senior general, if he were a senior general, there would be no need to ask any more questions.

"They're all beginner level."

Lu Yuan stared intently at the three approaching figures and replied in a low voice.

"That's good, there's still a chance."

Whether it was Jin Xinxin or the others, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Even if the opponent has only one mid-level general, they are definitely not someone they can handle.

"They're here!"

In the blink of an eye, the other person was already close by.

Without the slightest hesitation, he leaped up and attacked directly.

The three did not conceal their faces, but their ugly appearances clearly indicated that they had used disguise potions.

Buzz!

Without bothering to investigate the other party's origins or identity, the group immediately engaged in battle, and with a buzzing sound, the battle formation was activated.

Facing three warriors, even those at the beginner level, the only way to win is to activate the battle formation immediately, otherwise there is no chance of fighting back.

Boom!

The three warriors' attacks clashed with the battle formation, resulting in a deafening roar.

Amidst the fierce impact of the battle formation, the six figures swayed. Fortunately, most of the impact was absorbed by the battle formation, and the remaining impact was manageable for the remaining six individuals.

"Stop them!"

The opposing team, having failed in their initial attack, immediately dispersed, attempting to bypass the Nandou squad and directly attack their employer.

But how could we let them succeed?

The six quickly changed positions, and the Southern Dipper Battle Formation changed accordingly, directly blocking two of them.

However, there is another person on the outside, who is difficult to stop by the range of the battle formation alone.

"Give me a refund!"

With a swift movement, Lu Yuan appeared in front of the man, let out a roar, and slashed fiercely at him without a blade in his hand.

As a special Seven Kill position player and a free agent in the team, Lu Yuan's personal activities are not greatly affected by the battle formation itself.

To give an example, he is like a kite; as long as there is a string, he can stay connected to the main body of the battle formation.

"Um?"

The man hadn't paid much attention to the mere Qi Opening Realm cultivator. But the next moment, sensing the chilling aura emanating from the blade, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Earth-rank combat skill!

Although Lu Yuan's Earth-Splitting Technique is not yet fully developed, it is already seven or eight tenths complete, and its sheer sword aura is intimidating enough.

With the situation unclear, the man dared not take the attack head-on and immediately retreated several steps to avoid it.

"snort."

Then he smiled slightly. Although his swordsmanship was powerful, its application was too simplistic. He couldn't directly block or dodge, but he was easy to dodge.

Buzz!

The next moment, just as the man was secretly laughing at Lu Yuan's lack of skill, to his utter surprise, the blade of the battle sword that had missed its target suddenly extended several meters and stabbed towards his waist and abdomen.

Swish!

Lu Yuan smiled slightly, twisted his wrist forcefully, changing the chop to a slash, and the extended blade slashed fiercely towards the man!
