212: The mother and daughter's ordeal

Rewind to two hours ago.

During the night, Clear Leaf and her daughter Yumi left District Thirty-Six under Fang Bai's cover.

They were already far from District Thirty-Six, and after daybreak, Fang Bai's clone returned as well.

"Mother, where are we going next?"

Yumi asked.

A look of worry appeared on Clear Leaf's face, and she asked tentatively, "How about we go back to the village?"

As two weak women, it wasn't safe for them anywhere; returning to the village was the only way to be relatively safe.

Hearing this, Yumi thought for a moment and then nodded. "Alright, let's go back to the village."

Fang Bai had left them plenty of resources, enough to last them for a while.

Furthermore, Yumi was no longer the same as before; she had become a martial artist. Even in the village, she wasn't afraid of being bullied anymore!

"But Yumi, Mukaihara's body is still at home..."

Clear Leaf suddenly said with concern.

If things went as expected, their original home would have been cordoned off by the police, and they would certainly be investigating their whereabouts—meaning it was highly likely they were now wanted fugitives!

Yumi frowned and said, "Let's just leave here first."

"You won't be able to leave."

Just then, a cold voice rang out.

The expressions of the mother and daughter changed, and they both looked in one direction.

A woman in tight black clothes walked over slowly. She didn't hide her aura, which pressed down on the mother and daughter like a monstrous flood!

Yumi was fine, but Clear Leaf was an ordinary person and couldn't withstand this pressure; her face turned deathly pale.

Yumi stood in front of her mother, staring fixedly at the other party. "Who are you?"

The woman's face was cold, like an iceberg from the South Pole. Her indifferent eyes watched the two. "You are guilty and may not leave District Thirty-Six by even a single step!"

Yumi said with certainty, "You're not from the Miyamoto Family!"

The woman didn't deny it and said, "Come with me."

Yumi shook her head. "Sorry, we've done nothing wrong, and we have no obligation to listen to you."

The woman nodded. "Then don't blame me for getting physical!"

The woman lightly raised her hand, and Ice Spikes suddenly appeared around her. A powerful aura enveloped the area; with her at the center, everything within a ten-meter radius was covered in frost!

Feeling the powerful pressure, Yumi's face was somewhat pale, but her eyes stared back defiantly. The Alien Energy inside her surged, and a Water Curtain condensed into form!

A hint of disdain appeared in the woman's eyes as she sneered, "A mere Rank One dares to resist? You need to be taught a lesson."

She tapped her finger, and an Ice Spike shot forward!

The Ice Spike struck Yumi's Water Curtain. A powerful icy force invaded, and Yumi's face instantly turned pale!

She was only Rank One; defending against a single blow from the opponent had already exhausted her strength!

Ripples increased on the Water Curtain, but the Ice Spike showed no signs of melting; instead, it directly shattered Yumi's defense!

The latter felt as if she had been struck by a heavy blow, her body flying back several meters.

"Yumi!"

Clear Leaf's face changed drastically as she rushed over to help her up.

The woman didn't stop her, merely watching coldly. In her eyes, these two were already birds in a cage.

Blood trickled from the corner of Yumi's mouth. She felt weak. "Mother... run quickly, I'll hold her back."

Clear Leaf shook her head repeatedly. "I'm not leaving. If something happens to you, how could I live on alone?"

"No need for sentimentality. Neither of you is leaving today."

The woman spoke indifferently. As soon as she finished speaking, many fully armed soldiers appeared around them, surrounding the mother and daughter and pointing their dark muzzles at them.

Now, the mother and daughter were truly in despair!

"Brother Fang Bai, I'm sorry..."

A look of sorrow appeared on Yumi's face.

She would rather die than become a tool for them to threaten Fang Bai!

Just as Yumi resolved to end her own life, a fierce wind suddenly rose up!

The woman's expression changed, and she quickly barked, "Enemy!"

The soldiers were just about to move when, in the next second, Wind Blades swept in, directly slicing through their necks and bodies!

In just an instant, the soldiers surrounding the mother and daughter all perished!

"Who's there?!"

The woman's expression turned ferocious. "How dare you obstruct the Organization in the performance of its duties? Do you have a death wish?"

Her response was countless Wind Blades!

The woman's face changed in shock as she quickly built an Ice Wall for defense!

At the same time, a playful voice rang out, "Tsk tsk, besieging two women... Is this how the Organization does things? Aren't you afraid of becoming a laughingstock?"

The woman's gaze snapped toward one direction. When she saw who it was, her pupils constricted. "You..."

The newcomer was a man in his thirties, wearing a black and red robe. His hands were hidden in his sleeves, giving him a somewhat eerie appearance.

"Those clothes... You're from the Duan Shui Sect?!"

The woman's voice was incredibly solemn.

The Duan Shui Sect! The fourth power standing outside the three major forces of District Thirty-Six!

And this force had only ten people! Yet they were distributed across various districts, specifically opposing The Authorities!

No one knew how strong they were; they only knew they were very troublesome, tenacious like rats in a sewer!

The man chuckled and pointed at the mother and daughter. "I'm taking them with me. How about giving me some face?"

The woman's face was cold. "Impossible! They are the ones the Organization wants. You have no right to take them!"

"Jie jie jie! Then, as you said before, I'll take them by force. I don't need your consent!"

The man revealed an evil smile.

The woman snorted coldly as energy surged around her. Her domain spread out, and an Ice Wall rose around her. Then, an Ice Dragon condensed, emitting a cold and powerful aura!

"Rank Five Ice-element. Not bad."

Facing the woman, the man remained calm and composed.

The woman stared at him. "There's only one Wind-element expert in the Duan Shui Sect, and that's the Wind Lord, Yin Liuchuan!"

The man's smile didn't fade. "Congratulations, you guessed right!"

"Since you've heard my name, you, a Rank Five, still dare to block me?"

The woman said deeply, "This is my mission!"

Without hesitation, she launched an attack. The Ice Dragon charged directly at Yin Liuchuan and swallowed him whole!

However, in the next second, the Ice Dragon wailed and shattered! Countless Wind Blades spread out in all directions!

The woman suffered a backlash, grunting as blood leaked from the corner of her mouth.

The gap in strength between the two sides was simply not on the same level.

Yin Liuchuan smiled faintly. "You are no match for me. For a man like the wind, no one can keep me here!"

As he spoke, the woman's pupils constricted, for Yin Liuchuan had eerily appeared right in front of her!

Slap!

A large hand pressed directly onto the woman's shoulder; it felt to her as if a mountain were weighing her down, and she was forced to her knees!

Her knees smashed through the ground, sinking deep into it!

Yin Liuchuan smiled and said, "See, wouldn't it have been better if you'd just let me be? Now you have to suffer like this. Why bother?"

Woman: ...
