Chapter 1829 - 1428: Ambush—Better to Kill by Mistake Than Let One Go! (Part 2)

"No trace of human presence!" Zhou Mu surveyed the surroundings and then looked at the little woman beside him, speaking in a deep voice.

With Zhou Mu’s battlefield-honed intuition, it was quite difficult for anyone’s presence to escape his detection and remain unnoticed!

His words marked the final conclusion!

At this moment, their group had already retreated from the staircase, standing below the steps, vigilantly scanning the surroundings!

Having encountered an ambush, insisting on ascending the tower was not the best choice!

They would never deliberately place themselves in danger at any time!

Upon hearing Zhou Mu, Gu Changsheng’s eyes swept over the dozens present, capturing the expressions on their faces one by one, and her eyes grew darker...

Gu Changsheng had always felt that she was fairly skilled at discerning people, among these people there were signs of surprise, panic, confusion, and some like Diluo Han, who seemed to take pleasure in her misfortune, but there wasn’t one who seemed to have attacked her!

"It’s not them!" Gu Changsheng shook her head firmly, not needing anyone to come forward and argue.

She trusted her judgment, and her intuition!

"Dear, who could it be? If it’s not them, then who is attacking us from behind?" Yuan Bao asked anxiously, surveying the surroundings, then turned his gaze towards the Holy Envoy Child in the sack, "Hey, kid, isn’t there someone else arranged in the shadows on this level to attack us? How come others could climb the stairs without incident, but when it’s us, someone attacks from behind?"

Upon hearing this, the Holy Envoy Child furrowed his brows slightly, contemplated for a moment, and still spoke, "This Holy Envoy doesn’t know!"

"Don’t know? You are someone in this Star Innate Tower, if you don’t know who does? I’m telling you, if you don’t tell us, I’ll..." Yuan Bao responded, threatening with glaring eyes.

"Yuan Bao, shut up!" Gu Changsheng coldly snapped without turning her head, then continued to coolly survey the surroundings.

"There really is no human presence, could it be one of these people?" Shi Wujue’s long slender eyes were filled with bloodthirstiness, as he always despised ambushes, let alone an attack on the woman he cared most about. Such actions deserved no forgiveness!

With those words, Shi Wujue’s gaze swept sinisterly around, filled with boundless killing intent.

Under Shi Wujue’s gaze, Diluo Han and others immediately felt a chill run down their spine, as if a poisonous snake had targeted them, the feeling of danger emerged naturally!

"It wasn’t us! We didn’t move just now!"

"We didn’t ambush you, in fact, none of us even saw someone ambush you!"

"You wouldn’t be taking advantage of the situation, pretending to be ambushed to create trouble for us, would you? I’m telling you, we’re not easy targets either, don’t think that just because you have knives we’ll be afraid of you, one hero can’t withstand a pack of wolves, we outnumber you by far!"

"Exactly..."

"..."

The people around were edgy under Shi Wujue’s stare, responding anxiously.

"Better to mistakenly kill than let go! Dare to attack us, die!" Shi Wujue’s voice was unprecedentedly cold and merciless!

Indeed, that is who he was, Master of Linyuan City, notoriously bloodthirsty, his wild reputation was well-deserved!

Killing for him was just a matter of years of practice!

In his eyes, human life was insignificant!

Shi Wujue’s words immediately made those present shiver, a bad premonition vividly more apparent!

Why was that man so ready to kill them?

This group, whether male or female, was truly arrogantly self-important, did they have faces that were just good to kill?

Although they were somewhat disgruntled, everyone present, including Diluo Han, wore grim expressions, cautiously eyeing Gu Changsheng’s group, prepared for any eventuality!

They were not unwilling to act, but Gu Changsheng’s words earlier were too domineering, Shi Wujue’s words too ruthless, inexplicably making them feel she truly had the courage to kill them!

Some people just have that aura, capable of suppressing the entire scene, undeniably, Gu Changsheng’s group was such!

Upon hearing Shi Wujue, Zhou Mu turned to look at his beloved, waiting for her decision!

Shi Wujue was cold-blooded and ruthless, but Zhou Mu was no different!

The reason these two could become friends in childhood was half due to Shi Wujue’s intentions and half to birds of a feather flocking together!

To Zhou Mu, aside from his little woman and those she cared about, the lives and deaths of others had never mattered!

Better to mistakenly kill than let go?

Why not!

That was Zhou Mu’s decision, yet habitually, he still turned to look at his little woman, waiting for her thoughts!

The scene quickly became tense with drawn swords!

None present doubted that if the woman in the center nodded, a confrontation would ensue, resulting undeniably in life and death!

Yet inexplicably, there was a tinge of trepidation, having witnessed Gu Changsheng’s invisible killing, the intimidation came from deep within!

All eyes focused on Gu Changsheng, the battle ready to ignite, awaiting her command!

Under everyone’s gaze, the side of Gu Changsheng’s masked face was icy...
