Mengyao Xu also heard the sound of footsteps coming from afar. She followed the sound. She saw a tall and straight figure slowly walking towards them from the entrance of the street. The light from the street lamp stretched the other person’s shadow on the wet street.
As he got closer, the two could see him clearly. The person who came was a handsome young man. He carried a dark blue weapon bag in his hand. His eyes were calm and deep.
“I’m Lu Sheng.” The handsome young man looked at the two and said calmly.
Mengyao Xu looked at him and twitched the corner of her mouth. She didn’t say anything. She just gave the young man beside her a look. The two walked towards the entrance of the street. Lu Sheng didn’t say anything and followed behind the two. Out of the alley, Mengyao Xu and Meng Jianfei both got into a white car parked on the side of the road.
Lu Sheng sat in the back and put the weapon bag on the seat to his right.
Mengyao Xu started the car. Meng Jianfei in the front passenger seat turned around and said to Lu Sheng, “Have you seen the mission target’s information?”
“Yes.” Lu Sheng nodded, turned around and didn’t say anything else.
They didn’t speak for the rest of the journey. The white car sped on the road at night as if it was flying, nimbly weaving through the traffic. Soon, they left the city and drove towards the suburbs. Mengyao Xu drove faster and faster. When the speed reached more than 180 km/h, the seats in the car shook slightly. Lu Sheng was expressionless. His face was calm. He turned his head to look out the window and saw large tracts of farmland on both sides.
Finally, the car stopped in a deserted suburb.
“Get out.” Meng Jianfei called out to Lu Sheng.
The three of them got out of the car. Mengyao Xu left the car and walked in a direction without saying a word. Meng Jianfei and Lu Sheng followed behind. The three of them were all Level 6 Martial Artists. They walked quickly.
Soon, the outline of an abandoned factory appeared in Lu Sheng’s field of vision. There seemed to be a few cars parked outside.
Mengyao Xu finally stopped in her tracks.
“Have you brought your weapon?” This was the first sentence Mengyao Xu said to Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng nodded and shook the bag in his hand. Meng Jianfei beside him also pulled out a long black thing from his pants. The weapon he cultivated was actually the whip, which was a rather unpopular weapon.
“Now that the three of us are temporary partners, I’ll explain the plan to you …” Mengyao Xu’s expression was serious. She pointed at the abandoned factory in the distance and said to Lu Sheng, “According to reliable information, the target suspect, Ma Guoyun, is in that abandoned factory. He is a Level 6 Martial Artist. We don’t know what his subordinates are like yet. The main purpose of our trip today is to thoroughly understand their strength. If possible, we’ll take care of them today. If their strength is beyond our expectations, we’ll wait until tomorrow to cooperate with the local police, or call for backup. Let me give you a serious reminder. This is a real bandit elimination mission. It’s unlike those competitions or special training games you used to participate in. It’s full of vicious murderers who kill people by hook or by crook. This could cause death! You’d better think it through. If you regret it now, it’s not too late. But what if you cause any trouble during the operation later …? Don’t blame me for being rude to you.”
Mengyao Xu’s words were cold and stiff. It was as if she was holding two blades in her hands. She stared coldly at Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng’s eyes flashed. He didn’t show any emotion. He just nodded and said, “I understand.”
“I hope you really do.”
Mengyao Xu ignored him and called Meng Jianfei.
The two of them led the way to the abandoned factory.
Mengyao Xu and Meng Jianfei were obviously veterans who had been through this many a time. Otherwise, they wouldn’t dare to accept this Class AA mission and pass the review. Just by walking, one could tell that the two of them were experienced.
Whether it was Mengyao Xu or Meng Jianfei, they only walked with half of their feet on the ground. They were like cats, landing silently. Their bodies passed through the bushes, making only a slight rustling sound.
Lu Sheng followed behind the two with a calm expression.
Halfway through, Mengyao Xu turned around and glanced at him. She found that he was quite honest and quiet, so she didn’t say anything and her eyes softened.
Soon, the three of them approached the abandoned factory. Mengyao Xu and Meng Jianfei found an abandoned cement pipe and hid behind it, secretly observing the direction of the factory.
“There are a total of four cars at the entrance. Three people are on the lookout. They are too far away, I can’t see sense their strength …”
The young Meng Jianfei narrowed his eyes and looked at the direction of the abandoned factory.
“Then let’s go closer …”
After Mengyao Xu finished, she looked at Lu Sheng and said seriously, “The two of us will go up and check out the situation. You wait here obediently …”
Lu Sheng didn’t say anything. He didn’t even look at Mengyao Xu. He was spreading out his spiritual power and probing into the abandoned factory. A few figures with fiery vitality appeared in his perception.
Seeing that Lu Sheng didn’t reply, Mengyao Xu’s eyes turned cold and her tone became heavier.
Lu Sheng finally turned his head. He looked at Mengyao Xu and frowned slightly.
This small movement fell into Mengyao Xu’s eyes. She didn’t know why, but her heart suddenly beat faster. There was an inexplicable feeling of panic.
But Lu Sheng’s good-looking eyebrows quickly relaxed and he nodded lightly, “You guys go.”
Lu Sheng was a little regretful now. If he knew, he would have just come alone to complete the mission. But it would only take a while, so it didn’t matter …
Mengyao Xu’s expression softened when she heard Lu Sheng speak.
The feeling of panic also disappeared as if it had never appeared.
“Is it because it’s the first time you accepted a Class AA mission and you brought a newbie that you are so tense?”
Mengyao Xu shook her head and quickly pushed back this feeling to the back of her mind.
She and Meng Jianfei looked at each other, and the two of them moved forward in unison.
Both of them were Level 6 Martial Artists. Coupled with the fact that they were from Sage Martial University, their strength was far more solid than their peers.
The few lookouts didn’t notice them approaching at all, and were still chatting and smoking.
Mengyao Xu and Liu Yi lightly jumped onto the outer wall of the abandoned factory. They crouched on the edge of a broken window and looked inside through the broken window.
The factory was brightly lit.
The dozen or so people sat in a circle. When they sensed the undisguised Qi and blood fluctuations coming from the people below, the pupils of the two men contracted fiercely.
Level 6 martial artists!
