Ye Chenfeng casually picked up two military knives and diligently wiped them clean.
Suddenly, the phone rang.
"Hello, Mr. Ye Chenfeng, it seems you have forgotten this game. I need to remind you that there are only five hours left until the game ends. Have you not found where the person is yet? Hahaha... Do you need me to remind you?"
"No need, just wait. I will definitely rescue the person before twelve o’clock, and if you show up in front of me, I will definitely kill you. You wanted to avenge Heimu, right? Then bring it on," Ye Chenfeng said with a cold laugh.
After a moment of silence on the other end, the voice continued: "Haha, it looks like you’ve found the place. You haven’t disappointed me; the game is getting more interesting. To make the game a bit more exciting, I’ve decided to add a little challenge. I will put a wild man, who hasn’t seen a woman in three years, into Miss Chu’s room. Haha, the time remains the same, just look forward to it. When you come to rescue, I’ll put the wild man in there and see whether your rescue speed is faster or the wild man’s speed is. Oh, this is going to be exciting! Hahaha..."
"Bastard, if Qingxue loses even a single hair, I swear I’ll search this place and find you!" Ye Chenfeng’s left hand was gripping the blade so tightly that it bled, but he didn’t even notice.
"Time is running out. Oh, and I still need to feed the wild man some drugs to make him even more ferocious. Hahaha..."
Amid a chilling laughter, the caller hung up.
"What’s going on?" Phoenix asked concernedly.
"This is a complete madman. He already knows we have found the place, but he still wants the game to go on. He just added a challenge. When we rescue her, he will release a drugged wild man, who hasn’t seen a woman in three years, into Qingxue’s room," Ye Chenfeng said coldly.
"So you’re saying our rescue mission just got a lot tougher?" Phoenix asked.
"Exactly. Originally we might have had three minutes, now we might need to do it in thirty seconds, or even less. Any delay and Qingxue will definitely be in danger," Ye Chenfeng said solemnly.
"Damn, what a jerk! This is too difficult! Thirty seconds is hardly enough, especially since we don’t have a clear understanding of the enemy’s firepower distribution and troop allocation, not to mention we don’t know what kind of experts are blocking us. Most importantly, we aren’t sure of Miss Chu’s exact location; we only narrowed it down to a room on the second floor to the south. We can’t just search each room one by one when we arrive, can we?" Phoenix said.
"Yes, the difficulty has significantly increased. But we can only take it one step at a time. Let’s change the plan a bit, let the God of Killing take Yao Dao’s place and stay by my side. I need to use the God of Killing’s speed strategically. We will talk more about the plan on the plane," a plan was already forming in Ye Chenfeng’s mind.
"It seems you already have a plan in mind, which reassures me," Phoenix nodded.
Just then, the phone rang again. Ye Chenfeng checked to see that it was Chu Qingxue calling.
"Hello, Ye Chenfeng, are you alright? Where are you?" Chu Qingxue asked anxiously as soon as the call connected.
"I’m fine. Also, don’t worry. You will see Qingxue tomorrow," Ye Chenfeng reassured her.
Chu Qingxue gave a small acknowledgement: "Hmm, I believe you, but take care of yourself too, and come back safely."
"Okay, you take care of yourself too," Ye Chenfeng also expressed his concern.
"It seems this woman is very important to you?" Phoenix inquired.
Ye Chenfeng didn’t respond, just continued wiping his military knives.
"It looks like it. Did you guys have some romantic history? Like you and Sister Qingsong?" Phoenix probed.
But upon being met with Ye Chenfeng’s icy gaze that instant: "Sorry, I misspoke."
"Go get ready. We might face a fierce battle shortly," Ye Chenfeng instructed.
Phoenix obediently nodded and left the room.
Meanwhile, Ye Chenfeng stared blankly at the wall, his gaze deep and inscrutable.
"It’s been three years since we last teamed up for a mission. Thinking about it even makes me a bit excited, just like the first time," the usually stoic God of Killing also showed excitement in his eyes.
"Everyone, get ready! Don’t embarrass me when the time comes!" Ye Chenfeng glanced at them and spoke.
"Absolutely not!" Shi Buddha resolutely declared.
But the next second, everyone’s eyes lit up.
Phoenix made her appearance, her long straight legs clad in high tube straight pants accentuating her sleek profile, and her feet in black military boots added style. She wore a black Western-style military officer’s jacket that was catchily decorated with shoulder boards, badges, and pins, making her look like a female special agent from a movie.
"Phoenix, are you going to shoot a movie or something?" Shi Buddha couldn’t help but ask.
"Humph, shooting a movie is so boring!" Phoenix coldly snorted.
At that moment, Heavenly Eye also arrived in the helicopter, but this little guy was drenched in sweat and gasping for air heavily.
"It’s so nerve-wracking, oh God, I can’t believe I’m representing the Dragon Knight Forbidden Army on a mission," Heavenly Eye excitedly exclaimed.
The helicopter slowly took off, slicing through the night sky like a sharp sword.
"Alright, now I’ll explain the plan to everyone," Ye Chenfeng began to lay out the plan as they were about to arrive.
The team members perked up their ears attentively waiting.
"The plan has changed a bit. Yao Dao, you will take the position of Observation Hand. God of Killing, stay by my side. Assault Hand and Demolition Hand will be my responsibility. God of Killing, you just need to focus on your speed. Phoenix, Yao Dao, and Shi Buddha, you three dive straight into combat and kill everyone," Ye Chenfeng instructed.
Phoenix noticed something off and couldn’t help but ask, "Divine King, does this mean the helicopter won’t need to land in the open area south of the villa?"
"Exactly, that place is the only open area, and the enemy will surely anticipate that. It’s highly likely that someone will be waiting for us there," Ye Chenfeng confirmed.
"Now, let me explain the plan specifically. The helicopter will hover directly above the villa. Heavenly Eye, you will be responsible for disabling the electricity and network systems. The God of Killing and I will enter the second floor, while you three will mainly handle eliminating people elsewhere," Ye Chenfeng directed.
"Divine King, you alone handling Demolition Hand and Assault Hand? I still don’t quite understand your intention," Phoenix expressed her confusion.
Ye Chenfeng smiled, "You don’t need to understand, just watch my performance later. God of Killing, make sure to keep up with me."
