Chapter 169: The Mission Is Declared a Failure

The train sped through the tracks. Gun watched the things inside being crushed and was finally satisfied.

The wind blowing beside him fluttered the man's cloak. All his actions and words made him appear extremely mysterious.

Hongxiu turned her head and noticed that the other bounty hunters behind her hadn't caught up. Immediately, the aura around her diminished significantly.

It wasn't that she lacked confidence, but when facing this man, the pressure he exuded was simply too intense, making it almost difficult for her to breathe.

Hongxiu took two steps back and felt something under her feet. She turned her head, and the clown face met the red fox's eyes.

She widened her eyes and quickly shifted to the side to avoid being caught between the two.

"Red Fox?"

She had clearly confirmed during today's operation that this Red Fox hadn't taken on any missions for a long time and there had been no news of her.

Originally, Hongxiu thought that Red Fox would gradually fade into the periphery of the bounty hunter circle. But she really didn't expect that on the day of hunting Gun, she would appear again.

Based on the pattern of their appearances, Hongxiu could guess that there must be some relationship between the two.

After Gun and Red Fox appeared together last time, he never came out alone again. But today, as soon as he came out, it just coincided with Red Fox's appearance, and the two met here at the same time.

Hongxiu frowned and looked at the two of them. "What on earth is your relationship? Why do you always appear together?"

Neither of them answered her question. The air was deathly silent, without a sound.

After a moment of silence.

Shen Jianyi finally opened her mouth. Although her voice was processed, one could hear that her tone was extremely cold. "Gun, I'm here to help you today. Let's make it quick."

As long as they could seriously injure these people, they would automatically quit the mission team. If these top - ranked people failed, naturally no one else would dare to join later.

Gun looked at the woman's injured arm. He subconsciously stepped forward and grabbed it. His voice was muffled. "Who did this?"

Shen Jianyi shook off his hand. She thought she shouldn't have any contact with this man. She was just repaying a favor; there was no need for excessive contact.

"It's none of your business." Shen Jianyi replied briefly.

Their behavior was simply arrogant. Hongxiu, standing beside them, didn't feel that she was being taken seriously at all.

"You two are going too far. Don't think that just because you're ranked first and second, I'll really be afraid."

Shen Jianyi turned her head and let out a charming laugh. "No one said you were afraid. Then why don't you make a move?"

As long as she dared to make a move, Shen Jianyi would make sure that Hongxiu couldn't walk back normally today.

Hongxiu whipped her long whip and attacked the two directly. Shen Jianyi gently pushed, leaving a gap between her and Gun. The whip just lashed into that gap.

But even so, Hongxiu still didn't give up. She almost gambled her dignity. No matter what, she must make Gun perish here.

Just then, several other bounty hunters rushed over.

Shark shouted, "Hongxiu, we're here to help you!"

In an instant, the situation changed from two against one to five against two. Although these people's rankings were lower than theirs, their fighting skills were outstanding.

Those who could make it into the top ten among bounty hunters were not only ruthless but also decisive and quick - moving, capable of killing invisibly.

And this Shark was especially good at hiding in the dark. Almost every one of his attacks was unexpected. If it weren't for Shen Jianyi's sensitive hearing, he would have succeeded in sneaking attacks several times.

At first, the two of them had extremely strong combat power and were extremely fast. But they didn't seem to want to kill anyone. They didn't aim for vital parts but only attacked places that would cause pain.

While Shen Jianyi was dealing with the other three, Hongxiu whipped her long whip. The whip was about to strike Shen Jianyi's back.

At this critical moment.

Gun slipped through the crowd with a sideways move and stood behind Shen Jianyi. The whip hit his chest solidly.

He knelt on the ground on one knee, and a mouthful of fresh blood gushed out. The blood slowly slid down his mask, staining the originally spotless mask bright red.

Shen Jianyi turned her head and immediately helped him up.

"Are you okay?" She noticed the blood, but this wasn't the time to check his condition.

Gun pulled away from her hand. His tone remained calm, without the slightest fluctuation. "I'm fine."

With that single strike, Hongxiu had almost exhausted all her strength. Now she was also gasping for breath.

"Gun, you can't escape. You might as well admit defeat obediently now. Maybe we'll go a little easier on you."

Seeing that she still tried to be tough in this situation, Shen Jianyi thought that this Hongxiu really cared more about face than her life.

Before Gun could answer, she looked at Hongxiu. "You'd better take a look at yourself. The injuries on you are probably much more serious than ours!"

After that intense fight, almost everyone had a little blood on them.

While Shen Jianyi was speaking, Shark launched a sneak attack and stabbed at her with a knife. She felt the killing intent from behind, dodged it reflexively, and then kicked out.

The kick was very heavy and hit Shark in a vital spot. He fell to the ground in great pain, rolling back and forth.

The others swallowed their saliva and subconsciously put themselves in his place.

Now Shark was seriously injured and had lost all his fighting ability. The system kicked him out of the assassination team.

Where there was a first person, there would be a second. In just half an hour, the assassination team had shrunk from five people to just Hongxiu.

Shen Jianyi's throat was a bit dry. She coughed lightly and then realized that her voice changer was broken. Now, if she spoke, the other party might recognize her original voice.

Fortunately, Hongxiu couldn't hold on any longer. Before it was necessary for Shen Jianyi to speak, her legs went weak, and she lost her balance and knelt on the ground forcefully.

When Shen Jianyi saw her body lean forward and fall to the ground, she knew that the mission to assassinate Gun was declared a failure.

Shen Jianyi finally let out a sigh of relief. She had repaid the favor. From now on, when they met again, the two of them would still be in a competitive relationship as peers.

The woman turned around and was about to leave, showing not the slightest bit of attachment to the man behind her. From beginning to end, she had only wanted to repay her debt of gratitude to Gun.

Shen Jianyi really ignored the man. She stood in a clean place and sent a message to Xia Liang on her watch.

Before long, Xia Liang arrived at this place. Obviously, she had come to clean up the mess.

Now Shen Jianyi had taken off her mask. Xia Liang gathered all the unconscious people in one place and then looked back at the man lying behind.

She pointed at him. "Master, what about that man?"
