260: Attacked in the middle of the night

After figuring out who the intruders were, Ai Yue turned to her parents and said, "Mom and Dad, you two go to sleep. Leave these small fries to me. Don't let them interrupt your beauty sleep; you can't stay up late at your age!"

With that, Ai Yue pulled out a flashlight from her spatial dimension and walked out openly. At the same time, Ye Rui also emerged from another tent.

With a "snap," Ai Yue turned on the flashlight, and its beam clearly illuminated the shadowy figures hidden in the darkness opposite her.

"Not sleeping in the middle of the night, but coming here to commit murder and arson, Li Yi, you're really a disgrace to your base. You hold a high position, but your actions are truly despicable!"

The flashlight in Ai Yue's hand shone directly at Li Yi in the crowd.

Li Yi's startled expression was perfectly caught by the beam of Ai Yue's flashlight.

Li Yi raised his hand to block the dazzling light, a little confused inside. How did she know where he was hidden in the crowd?

It must be a coincidence. It's so dark; how could she possibly know where he was?

"Little girl, don't be so arrogant. This morning, I wasn't fully prepared, which is why I fell into your trap. It won't happen this time. Tonight, I'll make sure you all die without a burial place!" Li Yi said through gritted teeth.

"Heh, you think you're tough because you have more people? Not like the stray dog you were this morning, are you?" Ai Yue sneered.

"Bitch! Once I capture you, let's see how sharp-tongued you can be! Fierce Tiger, cripple these two girls for me. If you can capture them alive, do so. If not, twist their heads off!" Li Yi said ferociously.

The bearded giant, whom he called Fierce Tiger, sighed inwardly and could only step forward.

He didn't want to get involved in this messy situation at all, but Li Yi's family patriarch had saved his life, and his family was in the hands of the Li family, so he had no choice but to obey their orders!

Fierce Tiger came to the front, said nothing, and stomped his foot heavily. The ground shook three times, but he had already vanished.

He suddenly appeared beside Ai Yue, wielding a large saber, and swung it at her.

Ai Yue's expression didn't change. She tilted her head to dodge Fierce Tiger's attack, simultaneously aiming an electric arc from her hand at Fierce Tiger's position.

Unexpectedly, the electric arc missed; Fierce Tiger was no longer there.

How surprising, this rough brute actually had some skills.

Fierce Tiger appeared on Ai Yue's other side, almost right next to her. He wielded a large saber with formidable power, and Ai Yue dodged it again and again. The Superpower Ai Yue instantly unleashed was also dodged by Fierce Tiger.

Ai Yue narrowed her eyes. Since he wanted to fight hand-to-hand, she would oblige him.

In close-quarters combat, she had never lost to anyone in all these years.

Ai Yue's eyes were sharp. She flashed past Fierce Tiger, instantly moving behind him. Fierce Tiger's perception was incredibly keen, and he immediately sensed Ai Yue's presence, blocking her attack with a backhand.

However, Ai Yue's goal wasn't to injure him in one blow, but to use this opportunity to disarm him.

Ai Yue's physical strength hadn't reached the point where she was impervious to blades. Disarming her opponent first would allow her to deal with them more effectively.

Ai Yue used a scissor-hand technique, gripping the giant's arm holding the saber, then shifted her body and poked an inch below his armpit.

Fierce Tiger instantly felt his arm lose strength. Ai Yue took the opportunity to snatch his large saber.

Fierce Tiger wasn't panicked even without his weapon. He was a former elite special forces soldier from abroad, and close combat was what he feared least.

With their weapons gone, neither of them dodged anymore. They directly clashed, exchanging blows, fist meeting flesh.

With this exchange, the difference in skill was immediately apparent.

In terms of raw strength, Ai Yue had never lost to anyone. Although her opponent's awakened Superpower was also strength-based, it was still inferior to Ai Yue's.

Fierce Tiger was struck by Ai Yue's fist, and his entire face twisted. What kind of feeling was this? He felt as if he had been instantly run over by a large truck, in too much pain to breathe.

He was directly knocked to the ground.

Ai Yue didn't stop, wanting to finish him off in one go.

But Fierce Tiger's combat instincts were still active. Sensing danger, he instantly vanished from his spot, reappearing a short distance away on the other side.

Fierce Tiger was no pushover. After the initial pain, he had now recovered.

He felt a humiliation he had never experienced before. His proud movement technique and strength had been overturned by a young woman. He was unwilling.

With a fierce glare, he lunged forward again, throwing a punch. This time, Ai Yue didn't manage to dodge in time; she only managed to raise her arms to cross and block her face, preventing his fist from hitting her directly.

"Hiss..." Ai Yue's arm tingled with pain, and she instinctively shook it.

"You're quite strong, but not as strong as me! Have another punch!" Ai Yue's eyes ignited with fighting spirit.

The two fought again. Ai Yue's speed was too fast; Fierce Tiger could block above but not below. After three rounds, he was kicked to the ground by Ai Yue.

This time, he didn't get up in time and was pinned to the ground and pummeled by Ai Yue.

After three punches, Fierce Tiger had already lost consciousness.

Seeing Fierce Tiger like a lump of mud, unresponsive, Ai Yue stopped, picked him up with one hand, and flung him in Li Yi's direction.

"Catch him well. He still has a breath left. If he hits the ground, he'll really die," Ai Yue said.

The few people opposite instinctively caught Fierce Tiger, staggering back several steps before fully dissipating the force, but unable to withstand the impact, they fell to the ground.

Li Yi's heart skipped a beat, and his anger-fueled mind gradually calmed down.

"Third Master, let's go back. If we retreat now, I don't think that girl will make things difficult for us. Tomorrow is the time to depart to eradicate the Nameless Monster, we can't delay, and we can't afford any more casualties," a young man standing beside Li Yi whispered, advising him.

Upon hearing this, Li Yi's competitive spirit was instead ignited. "You stand aside. Your hair hasn't even fully grown, and you want to make decisions for me? Can you really make decisions for me? Hmph."

"The Lin Brothers, you two take ten people and try again. If you can't beat them, don't prolong the fight, just retreat."

The The Lin Brothers had long been eager to try, and they led ten people towards Ai Yue.

Ai Yue didn't want to wait for them to probe in waves. Among these people, only Fierce Tiger was somewhat capable; Ai Yue had no interest in fighting the others.

So, without waiting for them to get close, she waved her hand, unleashing an Annihilation. The next moment, the The Lin Brothers and the ten others vanished completely.

At this, Li Yi's eyes widened in horror, and he stammered with trembling lips, "Quick, quick, retreat!"

At the same time, he turned and ran, never having run so fast in his life, using all his might.

Ai Yue looked at the terrified crowd, startled like rabbits, and let out a light snort. With such meager skills, they thought of coming to kill? Truly frogs in a well.

Ai Yue waved at Ye Rui, "Alright, it should be quiet tonight. Let's all go to sleep."

"Understood, Sister. You should also rest early."
