Meeting you in autumn

Chapter 144 Night of Battle

After what seemed like an eternity, the stirring and moving music finally came to an abrupt end.

Just as the silence descended, a figure slowly appeared on the stage.

This person wore a mysterious mask that completely concealed his face, making it difficult for anyone to see his true appearance.

In an instant, everyone's gaze was drawn to this mysterious person as if by a magnet.

Beneath that mask, a chillingly malevolent smile suddenly flashed, sending shivers down one's spine.

Then, a deep, seductive voice came from behind the mask: "Everyone, how about we play an exciting game?!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly made a very loud gesture.

At the same time, the originally bright and dazzling lights suddenly dimmed, and the entire space was immediately shrouded in a layer of shadow, making the atmosphere unusually heavy and eerie.

Faced with this sudden turn of events, a sense of dread welled up in the hearts of everyone present.

Then, the mysterious man continued in an unquestionable tone: "Everyone, please close your eyes. When I count to three, you may open your eyes."

Although the crowd was puzzled by this inexplicable request, driven by fear and curiosity, most of them obediently followed his instructions and closed their eyes.

However, Guan Yu and the others in the crowd did not heed the order.

They remained highly vigilant, calmly observing their surroundings, and dared not let their guard down in the slightest.

Then, the masked man calmly began to count, his voice exceptionally clear in the darkness: "One...two...three!"

But before anyone could open their eyes, a deafening gunshot suddenly rang out, like a violent storm sweeping in.

The sudden gunshot terrified everyone, and they opened their eyes in utter horror.

The sight before them left them speechless—people were fleeing in panic, screams rising and falling incessantly.

In the chaos, the masked man standing on the stage somehow pulled out a dark pistol and, without hesitation, pointed it in Guan Yu's direction and pulled the trigger.

However, at that moment, Guan Yu and the others saw that the situation was not good, and quickly hid behind the cover on the side.

In an instant, a group of vicious and reckless individuals surged into the doorway and surrounding area like a tidal wave.

Without saying a word, these people picked up their guns and started firing wildly at Guan Yu and his men, bullets raining down like raindrops.

Guan Yu and his men reacted extremely quickly, nimbly dodging left and right, skillfully avoiding the enemy's dense firepower.

At the same time, the group worked together seamlessly to launch a counterattack.

Feng Ming, who witnessed this scene on the other side, immediately became serious.

Without hesitation, he stretched out his arms and instinctively shielded Guan Yu and Li Yuan tightly to his side.

"Are you two alright? Are you hurt?" Feng Ming asked loudly, his face full of worry.

"Don't worry, we're fine!"

As Li Yuan answered, his sharp gaze remained fixed on the group of hostile enemies before him.

Her once beautiful face now revealed a chillingly sinister look.

Just then, a reckless scoundrel, taking advantage of the crowd's inattention, quietly raised his pistol and aimed it in their direction, about to pull the trigger.

In the blink of an eye, Li Yuan moved like lightning, leaping up and kicking the desperate criminal's wrist hard.

The assailant, in pain, dropped his pistol.

Li Yuan snatched the pistol in one swift and fluid motion.

Without hesitation, she turned her gun around and fired a shot at the assailant's head.

"Bang!" With a crisp gunshot, the assailant fell to the ground and died on the spot.

Li Yuan glanced coldly at the corpse on the ground and disdainfully uttered, "Hmph, you think you can kill me with your meager skills? You're simply overestimating yourself!"

This series of clean and efficient movements left Feng Ming and Guan Yu dumbfounded.

They never expected that Li Yuan, who usually seemed so gentle, would have such agile and decisive side.

After a moment of stunned silence, the two couldn't help but give Li Yuan a thumbs up, secretly admiring him.

Li Yuan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile. She knew that now was not the time for her to show off.

Then, with a flick of her wrist, she tossed the two pistols she had just seized to Feng Ming and Guan Yu respectively.

He declared with boundless pride, "Take this! Today we'll make sure these people never leave alive!"

Immediately afterwards, the two picked up their guns and began to fight.

Guan Yu took light and swift steps and ran towards her brother's direction without hesitation.

Guan Yu saw his sister's figure in the distance and frowned, roaring angrily, "Who told you to come here?! Don't you know how dangerous the situation is?!"

However, Guan Yu did not show the slightest fear or backing down in the face of her brother's stern reprimand.

Her beautiful face now appeared incredibly resolute, her gaze fixed intently on her brother, and she answered decisively, "Of course I know it's dangerous here, but I know I can't leave now!!"

As she spoke, she gripped the gun tightly in her hand.

And her beautiful eyes revealed an undeniable stubbornness.

Guan Yu looked at his sister, who was showing no sign of backing down, and sighed helplessly.

Although she was still deeply worried about her sister's dangerous situation, a warm feeling also quietly welled up in her heart.

Immediately afterward, he turned to look at Shen Chen behind him and solemnly instructed, "Chen, you must protect Xiaoyu's safety!!"

"Don't worry, Brother Yu!" Shen Chen immediately replied loudly upon hearing this.

He then quickly moved to Guan Yu's side, paying close attention to the surrounding movements, ready to deal with any possible crisis at any time.

Just then, the already fierce battle intensified, with waves of enemies surging in, making the scene increasingly tense and exciting...

Feng Li realized that the attack seemed to be organized, and that the goal was not simply to harm them.

"Ah Yu, these guys are determined to take our heads tonight!" Feng Li sneered with a disdainful expression.

"Hmph! Let's see if they really have the ability!!"

Meanwhile, Mu Yu, standing on the other side of the battlefield, coldly watched the fierce fighting among the crowd, a slight smile of disdain on his lips.

Immediately afterwards, he gave a wink to his companions Lin Ye, Qi He, and others, and the group, understanding the signal, rushed into the battle without hesitation.

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps approached from afar.

It turned out that Lin Qi had led a team of men to the scene in time.

Lin Qi waved his hand, and his men immediately raised their weapons and unleashed a barrage of fire at Mu Yu's men.

In an instant, gunshots rang out, and bullets rained down like locusts.

Despite the fierce firepower, Mu Yu and his group showed no sign of backing down.

On the contrary, their eyes burned with raging anger and their hearts were filled with hatred, determined to take down Guan Yu and his men in one fell swoop.
