After forcefully extinguishing the black triangle native in the basement with his Thunder Spell,
Taoist Jing Xuan casually pointed a finger, and a Thunder Arc surged from his fingertips, severing the ropes that bound the Dragon Country girl.
The Dragon Country girl watched as the ropes that bound her snapped apart; she crawled up from the operating table, her body still trembling slightly.
Taoist Jing Xuan patted her back and checked for injuries; fortunately, there were none, which was naturally the best outcome.
"Infinite Heavenly Venerable, are you alright, miss?"
Hearing the familiar Dragon Country language, at this moment, the girl felt an unprecedented sense of closeness.
She had thought that her death was certain, only to find that, in an unexpected turn of events, she had survived.
The massive emotional upheaval from the brush with death left the twenty-something Dragon Country girl unable to hold back her tears, bursting into loud weeping.
Upon seeing this, Taoist Jing Xuan said nothing more.
He let her pour out her emotions to her heart’s content.
The Dragon Country girl also knew that now was not the time for agitation.
After releasing her emotions, she stood up and quickly left the area with Taoist Jing Xuan.
This was not a good place; it was wise to leave as soon as possible.
After leaving the filthy basement surgery, Taoist Jing Xuan took the Dragon Country girl back to the ground level.
Inside the building, there were over a thousand hostages.
From different regions and countries.
Seeing Taoist Jing Xuan bring the girl back to safety, everyone was quite happy.
After all, saving a life is a truly wonderful thing!
Taoist Jing Xuan asked the hostages to group together.
He said, "Infinite Heavenly Venerable, everyone, please calm yourselves. We are here on behalf of the official Dragon Country authorities to rescue you.
The black triangle natives outside have not been completely cleared out, and you will need to stay here a bit longer.
Once we have dealt with all the culprits outside, we will then escort you home. During this process, I will protect you all the way!"
The responsibility of Taoist Jing Xuan was to ensure the safety of these hostages.
He would protect them throughout their stay in this building.
Just then, Taoist Jing Xuan saw a jeep approaching from a distance.
On the Jeep, Taoist Jing Xuan saw a man with a venomous snake tattoo on his face.
According to the information in the hands of Taoist Jing Xuan, the manager of this village, leader Manus, apparently had a distinctive venomous snake tattoo on his face.
Seeing Manus running towards him, Taoist Jing Xuan clicked his tongue.
"This is indeed, no effort required after searching high and low with iron shoes—what I sought comes to me without trouble!"
He was waiting here, and leader Manus had delivered himself.
At this moment, Manus was carrying a briefcase; the case contained his entire life’s savings.
An invader had entered his village stronghold, and even his strongest enforcer, Akin, had died.
Manus was clear on Akin’s combat capabilities; comparable to his own.
If Akin was no match, Manus had no confidence at all that he could take on the newcomer.
If this had been earlier, Manus might have fought to the death with the intruders, but now, he certainly would not.
Because once a person has money, they become especially fearful of death.
Manus had made so much money; the wealth stored in his briefcase was more than he could spend in ten lifetimes.
So now, what was most important was to preserve his own life and escape.
Manus sat in the jeep, urging the driver.
"Hurry up! Faster! Don’t let anyone catch up! Is the helicopter ready yet?"
His subordinate nodded: "Don’t worry, boss, the helicopter is ready. It’s just that we can’t get in touch with Aru and the others; possibly the communication equipment is damaged."
Manus kicked his subordinate.
The Aru mentioned by his subordinate was Manus’s younger brother.
Previously, they worked under Habu together; later, the brothers managed the village together.
As Manus’s only brother and only relative,
Manus regarded Aru as very important.
Now that he had to flee, naturally, he wanted to take his brother with him.
But now his subordinate was telling him that they couldn’t get in touch with Aru.
Although it could be due to damaged communication equipment, Manus was still worried.
He worried that something had gone wrong!
He urged the driver to hurry to the largest hostage-holding building.
His brother Aru was in charge of that place.
But Manus quickly realized something was amiss.
The building where the hostages were being held was too quiet.
Before coming here, he had clearly ordered his subordinates to gather the hostages and bring them outside the building.
But now, there was nothing outside.
Not even his own men were to be seen.
Manus’s face grew grim.
His men were gone, and his brother was nowhere to be found.
Now, it seemed there was more bad news than good.
Manus ordered the car to stop.
Who knows what could be inside the building?
Manus was not stupid; knowing that something was wrong inside, he certainly would not charge in.
This Manus was ruthless.
He directly took a rocket launcher from the vehicle.
After loading the launcher, Manus aimed the rocket at the hostage building in front of him.
If his brother was already likely done for, then let them all keep Aru company!
The rocket propelled towards the building.
If this shot hit, it would blow the entire building to pieces.
Everyone inside would most surely die.
Watching Manus recklessly launch the rocket, the thousand hostages inside the building panicked.
Was Manus going to kill everyone before fleeing?
Truly heartless and brutal!
Taoist Jing Xuan watched as the rocket flew toward them.
