Chapter 124: Chapter 124 Peril at Dawn (2)

An Yiqing felt quite relieved inside, Zhang Yuksheng and Liao Jinglin were like two brothers to her. Although they always addressed her as "Miss," their sincerity wouldn’t change.

"Alright, I’m leaving now. You and Jinglin should head back and rest early as well."

After leaving Yuyuanzhai, An Yiqing took a taxi.

Hmm, she should buy a car...

Half an hour later, the taxi sped along the sparsely populated national highway. An Yiqing glanced at the rearview mirror and involuntarily furrowed her brows.

That van behind them seemed familiar, she had seen it before at Yuyuanzhai’s entrance...

"Driver, don’t go to Shuixie Lanting, head to the industrial zone instead."

Twenty minutes later, the taxi stopped in front of a deserted and unpopulated factory.

"Young lady, this isn’t a place for you to be. Better head back early," the kindly driver advised as he took the money, concern in his voice.

"Sure, take care on the road." An Yiqing nodded with a smile.

After the taxi left, the last bit of a smile in An Yiqing’s eyes completely vanished. Her eyes coldly fixed on the four black-clothed figures emerging from the van.

"Who sent you?"

The four black-clothed men didn’t speak, their eyes intently fixed on An Yiqing as they slowly drew a gleaming, cold blade from behind their backs!

A katana!

An Yiqing’s pupils shrank, and she suddenly remembered the ninjas Gu Yelin had mentioned. A guess formed in her heart.

And the next second, the sudden disappearance of the four black-clothed men confirmed her suspicions.

Ninjas!

Country Bai actually regarded her so highly that they sent four ninjas to deal with her!

Gu Yelin had once said that if one were to divide levels by martial cultivation, ninjas would be at the Great Achievement Stage. Lower Endurance was the Initial Stage of Great Achievement, Middle Endurance was also the Initial Stage of Great Achievement, and Upper Endurance was at the Great Achievement Peak, on the verge of stepping into the Innate Realm!

Given An Yiqing’s current strength at the Great Achievement Peak, she could easily handle four Lower Endurance ninjas, and if they were Middle Endurance, she could just manage to kill them. But if they were Upper Endurance, even with her fighting desperately, she could only end with a mutual destruction!

It wasn’t that An Yiqing’s strength was too weak, but in martial cultivation, one level was a towering mountain. Just like the gap between Great Achievement Peak and the Initial Stage of Innate, there was always a world of difference!

Her thoughts flashed in just an instant. An Yiqing concentrated and held her breath, her ears attuned to all directions, carefully searching for the ninjas that had vanished into thin air.

The abandoned factory was eerily quiet without a soul in sight. An Yiqing stood still with her eyes closed, listening intently.

Suddenly, she sprang into action, her Silver Needle Sky Maiden scattering like a burst of piercingly cold flowers, heading straight towards her left front!

"Bastards!"

A black-clothed man materialized out of nowhere, swinging his katana to intercept the incoming silver needles!

An Yiqing flipped her palm upwards, Inner Breath surging as she flung the rebounding silver needles in another direction.

Instantly, the factory was engulfed in chaos, replete with flashes of swords and shadows of blades!

The odd Vital energy tumbled inside the girl’s body, turning her clear, watery eyes dazzlingly brilliant. With the aid of her enhanced vision, An Yiqing could clearly see the ninjas hiding in the shadows!

The girl was immediately overjoyed. Without the strange obstruction of their Invisibility Technique, her confidence in winning this battle increased greatly.

However, the next second, An Yiqing’s face turned serious again.

Upper Endurance! All four were Upper Endurance ninjas!

In her mind, she was calculating rapidly. Even setting aside the Invisibility Technique, the combined strength of four Upper Endurance ninjas far exceeded hers. It looked like she would have to fight fiercely tonight!

In the dark of night, for a moment, there was a whirl of blade flashes and sword shadows, interwoven with the girl’s sharp cries and the unpleasant "bastard" exclamations of the black-clothed men.
