    As Zhu Hong and Chen Quan stepped out of the researchb’s door, a sudden burst of intense light exploded from the ground on either side, blinding them temporarily, rendering everything indecipherable. At the same moment, several operatives charged swiftly from their ambush positions.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh


    Apanied by a series of piercing sounds, Chen Quan lightly tapped his toes, his body soared upwards, leaping more than two meters high, just out of reach of the surrounding attacks. While he evaded the strikes, Zhu Hong remained rooted in ce. Hearing the sound of the piercing wind, Zhu Hong’s body suddenly swayed, dodging all the attacks around him.


    Watching this scene through the camera, Ling Chen and the others were astonished. Was this really Zhu Hong? When did he be so formidable?


    It was known that for this operation, eachbatant was equipped with crossbows set with tranquilizer darts, potent enough to sedate an elephant. Chen Quan and Zhu Hong had just been blindfolded by the sh grenade, unable to see anything clearly. Chen Quan, a Heavenly List master, evading tranquilizer shots was expected, but Zhu Hong... Ling Chen was genuinely stunned by his agile response.


    Of course! Ling Chen suddenly recalled that Zhu Hong once joined Skyhawk Pavilion and was taken as a direct disciple by Zhu Chuan. Spending several months at Skyhawk Pavilion, Zhu Hong must have undergone considerable training with Zhu Chuan, which showcased his current skills and reflexes.


    The effect of the sh grenade wouldn’tst long; seeing Chen Quan and Zhu Hong evade the first wave of attacks, Hu Fei immediately issued orders for everyone to execute n B. Instantly, all twentybatants charged out, encircling Chen Quan and Zhu Hong in the middle.


    "Humph!" Chen Quan sneered. Although his vision was still a bit blurry, he wasn’t mindful of the danger ahead. Judging from earlier, he had concluded there were no masters among the crowd. Had there been any, they would have surely attacked during his moment of blindness.


    "Who are you people?"


    Upon hearing Zhu Hong’s rebuke, everyone remained silent, calmly watching the two in the center.


    "Disciple, you leave first. I’ll cover the rear." As soon as those words fell, Chen Quan lightly tapped his toes, his body shot forward like a cannonball, targeting the nearest person. As Chen Quan approached, the twenty operatives remained incredibly calm, unperturbed by Chen Quan’s disyed prowess.


    Just then, a ’boom’ was heard, a beam of intense light erupted suddenly, enclosing Chen Quan. The beam appeared so abruptly that Chen Quan had no defenses ready. Moreover, aside from its blinding effect, the beam inflicted considerable harm to the body.


    As the beam gradually faded, Chen Quan’s right side was blood-soaked, eyes tightly shut, his entire body trembling slightly. It was evident the sudden attack had inflicted significant injury upon him.


    Witnessing the oue, Ling Chen and the other two in the ward naturally breathed a sigh of relief. The attack hadn’te from the operatives but was controlled by Hu Fei. That mini-smart car could not only ry real-time footage through cameras but came equipped with explosive devices specifically meant for Chen Quan and Zhu Hong. Previously, when blinded by the sh grenade, Hu Fei had secretly maneuvered the smart car to Chen Quan’s feet.


    With Chen Quan acting, the mini-smart car exploded instantly, rendering Chen Quan blind again and severely injuring his body.


    Seizing the opportunity, twenty operatives approached Chen Quan swiftly. Chen Quan’s body badly wounded and eyes blinded, unable to see anything, it was the perfect chance to neutralize him. However, seeing his master in peril, Zhu Hong chose to rescue rather than escape alone.


    Presently, Zhu Hong was no longer the same. With his mastered skills, even an Earthly List master might struggle against him.


    In the blink of an eye, due to close range, Zhu Hong easily knocked down three operatives.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    At this moment, over ten operatives decided to attack using the crossbows. More than ten tranquilizer darts shot towards him; Zhu Hong swiftly moved, dodging and weaving to barely avoid the darts.


    "Master, are you alright?" At this moment, Zhu Hong stood before Chen Quan, speaking in a deep voice. Yet, there wasn’t a sound from Chen Quan standing behind him. Seeing Chen Quan’s dyed response, Zhu Hong couldn’t help but turn around, only to find a tranquilizer dart lodged in Chen Quan’s thigh. Moreover, under the effect of the tranquilizer, Chen Quan’s body wavered, ready to copse any moment.


    Witnessing this situation, Zhu Hong’s expression changed briefly. He had counted on Chen Quan’s help, not expecting him to be struck by a tranquilizer dart. Could the explosion have been so powerful, temporarily robbing the Heavenly List master ofbat ability?


    No time to ponder further, Chen Quan already had fallen into a stupor; Zhu Hong needed to carry him out of the encirclement.


    "Don’t rush, he’s by himself now, all spread out and try to hold him down," Hu Fei instructed from theputer.


    Chen Quan had lost hisbat capabilities; Zhu Hong was alone, no need to fight him head-on.


    Facing the scattered operatives, Zhu Hong could discern their strategy. This couldn’t continue; the longer it dragged on, the worse it worked for him. Moreover, the operatives continually fired tranquilizer darts; being hit by one would spell doom.


    In a sh of thought, Zhu Hong quickly made a choice. He hoisted Chen Quan’s body over his shoulder, using Chen Quan as a human shield, blocking out all the darts. Simultaneously, he elerated towards the emergency exit beside the elevator.


    None anticipated Zhu Hong to betray hispanion; during their momentary daze, Zhu Hong reached the emergency stairwell, swiftly descending the steps.


    "Chase!"


    In the ward, watching the fight via the camera, Hu Fei picked up the phone, dialing a number, instructing: "Everyone alert, the target is preparing to leave the building."


    "Did you have others arranged?" Ling Chen inquired beside him.


    "Certainly," Hu Fei nodded, saying, "It’s not like I’m unaware of how formidable a Heavenly List master is; I made ample preparations to deal with them. Just watch, without Chen Quan’s aid, even with Zhu Hong’s significant skills, he won’t escape.


    Tenth floor... seventh floor... Zhu Hong’s speed was astonishingly quick; within the blink of an eye, he’d reached the third floor of the office building. Without waiting for the pursuers behind to catch up, Zhu Hong leaped, directly clutching Chen Quan’s body, hurtling out of the third-floor window.


    After falling seven or eight meters, Zhu Hong’s bodynded steadily on the ground. Surveying the surrounding environment, Zhu Hong hesitated not, charging directly towards the nearest street.
