"One of them said, "Since you’ve figured it out, we won’t pretend anymore. I advise you to not resist and just surrender peacefully. We guarantee we won’t hurt you.""
"Do you think that by saying this, you’re insulting my intelligence, or your own?"
"You, a Third Grade Spirit Master, think you can defeat four Fourth Grade ones? Especially at an altitude of 10,000 meters!"
The bodyguard snorted coldly; this was also why they had not made a move yet.
At 10,000 meters in the sky, a battle could easily result in both the aircraft and people being destroyed.
None of them could escape.
Xiao Zhan was also aware of this, which is why after killing the male officer, he did not continue to attack.
At this altitude, nobody could escape unscathed.
But Xiao Zhan must think of a way now; these people were well-prepared, which meant that not only the plane but even the landing site must be under their control.
If he obediently complied, the outcome would definitely not be as simple as these bodyguards claimed.
However, at this sky-high altitude, Xiao Zhan really did not know what choice to make.
The atmosphere immediately became tense and deadlocked.
Watching Xiao Zhan’s silence, the four men exchanged glances, then slowly moved toward Xiao Zhan.
But at that moment, Xiao Zhan swung the Demon Scythe vigorously, smashing it against a nearby window.
Crash—the glass shattered.
The powerful difference in air pressure created a strong airflow, crazily sucking everything inside the plane outward!
Although the airflow was fierce, Xiao Zhan and the others stood firm.
Such airflow might be terrifying for the average person, but for them, it was easily manageable and not worth mentioning.
However, this also made the four bodyguards halt in their tracks.
"Make the plane do an emergency landing nearby, or else we’ll all go down together!" Xiao Zhan commanded without hesitation.
The four men’s faces slightly changed.
But they remained firm, "Die together? Then let’s die together. Your death will not greatly affect our plans; the Northern Town will still fall into our hands."
"Who exactly are you?"
Xiao Zhan was shocked; these people were not just after him, they targeted the entire Northern Town!
The man snorted coldly, "Don’t worry about who we are. You just need to know that our lives are far less valuable than yours. If you’re alive, perhaps you can change a bit of fate."
It must be said, this guy was quite good at persuading others to surrender, even threatening with the Northern Town.
But he underestimated Xiao Zhan, or rather Ye Youlong.
Xiao Zhan might consider the value of surrendering for an extra second, but Ye Youlong was not like that; she never feared any threat.
In her heart, her life was more precious than anyone else’s.
Of course, there’s now Xiao Zhan’s life as well.
After all, their lives were now one and the same.
Therefore, Xiao Zhan, without hesitation, waved the Demon Scythe again and struck the aircraft, opening another gash.
It wasn’t very large, but in an instant, the airflow became even stronger.
"I’ll say it one more time, make an emergency landing now, or we die together!"
Xiao Zhan’s voice left no room for doubt.
Not only could they persuade others to surrender, but Xiao Zhan was no fool either—they obviously wanted to capture them alive.
With Miss Ye’s identity, to confront the entire Northern Town, capturing them alive was definitely more valuable than if they were dead.
The bodyguards, seeing how resolute Xiao Zhan was, panicked a bit.
Their orders were to capture Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong alive; even the coffee they had earlier was drugged, but Xiao Zhan and the others didn’t drink it.
It didn’t matter so much if they, the bodyguards, died—they were already mentally prepared for that outcome. But if Xiao Zhan died, that would mean mission failure.
And their mission was to capture Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong alive!
"Can’t understand, is it?"
Watching Xiao Zhan about to widen the rip, the guard who seemed to be a small leader panicked, "Hold on!"
Xiao Zhan’s Demon Scythe immediately stopped.
He looked at this small leader, appearing calm on the surface, but inwardly he let out a sigh of relief.
He wagered correctly - this group of people didn’t dare let him just die !
The small leader guard was decisive, picked up the communicator and said to the airplane cockpit, "Find an airport to land."
"I said immediate forced landing!"
Xiao Zhan emphasized.
So that you can be prepared?
The man glanced at Xiao Zhan, waited two seconds, then picked up the communicator again, "Immediate forced landing."
"Immediate forced landing? This is the Demon Beast Mountain, below there’s nothing but Demon Beasts, and absolutely no place to perform a forced landing," came the voice from the cockpit.
"Execute the order! Immediate forced landing!"
The voice from the cockpit sounded resigned.
Subsequently, Xiao Zhan immediately felt the airplane start to rapidly decrease in altitude.
The small leader took this opportunity to say to Xiao Zhan, "Even if we land, you will not be able to escape from the palm of our hands. It’s better to surrender now rather than suffer physical torment." ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel✶fire.net
Xiao Zhan sneered, "Surrender, that’s not the style of a soldier. It’s the blood of Northern Town to undertake what is known to be impossible!"
"Then we shall wait and see."
Four people stared intently at Xiao Zhan, ready to make a move against him the moment the airplane made its forced landing.
Xiao Zhan also knew the timing of their strike and was mentally prepared for battle.
The plane’s altitude dropped rapidly, and before long, it was only about a thousand meters above the ground.
The scenery outside the window and the weakening airflow caused several guards to tighten their grip on their Artifact Spirits, everyone with a heightened state of readiness, focusing intently and waiting for the perfect moment.
The moment the airplane began its landing, not far behind them, another airplane was following closely.
Huang Fei and Jiang Xian’er were seated inside.
"What’s going on, why are they landing?"
"Reporting to young master, they’ve been exposed."
"Damn it, how were they exposed?"
Huang Fei angrily threw the cup in his hand to the ground.
But he knew rage wouldn’t solve the problem, "Immediately notify ground forces, deploy drones and electronic hounds to search and pursue! They must be caught!"
Once Huang Fei calmed down a bit, Jiang Xian’er curiously asked, "Who are you trying to catch?"
Hearing this, Huang Fei couldn’t help but turn around with a smile, "You’ll know soon enough."
The airplane continued to descend.
Quickly it reached a distance of five hundred meters.
Then four hundred meters, three hundred meters...
The four guards could not help but slowly inch closer to Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Zhan knew that if he did not act now, it would be too late.
When the airplane was just two hundred meters above the ground, Xiao Zhan made the first move, releasing the Death Aura which was as dark as ink, and in an instant, it enveloped the entire cabin.
The four guards could not see clearly and did not dare to act rashly.
Xiao Zhan took this opportunity, swinging the Demon Scythe and slashing a huge opening in the body of the plane.
Then, without any hesitation, he leaped forward and jumped down.
