Beauty Chairwoman's Bodyguard Expert-Chapter 1630 - 1623: Avril Attacked

Beijing.

After leaving Maria Catholic Church, Avril walked straight to a car outside. Accompanied by the roaring of the engine, the red Porsche sped through the streets like a bolt of lightning, attracting numerous gazes from around.

Avril seemed indifferent to the attention, weaving through the traffic, prompting some drivers to honk furiously and shout angrily.

After about ten minutes, Avril finally parked the car and got out, her gaze falling on a recently repaired wooden bridge not far away and the babbling stream below, her eyes showing a hint of complex emotion.

This was the place where she had met Lu Tianxing for the second time last night. For some reason, she had inexplicably driven here tonight.

Slowly walking onto the wooden bridge, she scanned the familiar surroundings, recalling the events of the previous night. A more complex expression appeared on her elegantly beautiful face as she stared ahead blankly, walking forward like a puppet without uttering a word.

Suddenly, Avril halted, and the confusion in her eyes vanished without a trace, her expression turning extremely grave. Her eyes scanned the surroundings like sharp blades, as waves of formidable light powers emanated from her, a strong sense of danger enveloping her heart.

"Who’s there? Come out."

As her voice fell, the light aura around Avril became sharper, transforming into a beam of light that shot forward.

"Boom!"

The beam flew about ten meters before seemingly encountering an invisible wall, vanishing without a trace.

"As expected from the Holy Daughter of the Holy See, your strength is extraordinary. We concealed our presence well, yet you still managed to detect us. Impressive, indeed. But unfortunately, tonight, you won’t leave here alive."

Accompanied by a voice full of murderous intent, over a dozen figures materialized in the void.

Leading the group was a slender old man, emitting a formidable aura. Behind him were over a dozen black-clad, masked men, each holding a pitch-black crossbow, which gleamed ominously under the faint moonlight.

"Who are you? We shouldn’t be enemies, should we?" Avril asked, her pupils contracting sharply upon seeing the gaunt old man.

"Who I am isn’t important. What’s important is that you, Holy Daughter, must die today. Don’t blame us for being heartless; blame yourself for coming to China."

Staring at Avril, the old man’s eyes glinted fiercely, and without further ado, he gestured to the men behind him, "Kill."

"Buzz!" "Buzz!" "Buzz!" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

As the old man moved, the black-clad men suddenly stepped forward, aiming their crossbows at Avril. With the sound of springs releasing, arrows shot out, piercing through the air silently, aimed at Avril.

The crossbow arrows pierced the void almost silently, glimmering coldly in the darkness, creating an unsettling feeling.

"Light Shield."

Seeing the incoming arrows, Avril’s expression changed drastically, her light powers surging instantly to form a massive shield in front of her.

"Whizz!"

An arrow collided with the Light Shield, unhindered, piercing through it and hurtling towards Avril.

"What? That’s impossible."

Witnessing this, Avril froze momentarily, retreating swiftly, her expression turning extremely grim. She knew her strength was middle-stage mythical, whereas those using crossbows were merely at the Heavenly Realm and early-stage mythical levels. Yet now, they were able to break her light powers with crossbows, seemingly impossible.

"It’s futile, Avril. This is the Yanhuang Group’s specially crafted Array-breaking Crossbow, designed to dismantle True Qi and powers. Your fate today is death; surrender, and perhaps I’ll let you keep your corpse intact."

The old man’s voice rang out again, laden with viciousness, "Continue attacking, kill her."

"Buzz!" "Buzz!" "Buzz!"

The old man’s voice had barely faded when the relentless sound of springs rang out once more, as another barrage of crossbow arrows shot forth, swarming towards Avril like locusts.

"Array-breaking Crossbow?"

Avril’s face suddenly changed upon hearing the elder’s words. She was certainly familiar with the Array-breaking Crossbow, a weapon specially made by the Yanhuang Group to counter the True Qi and supernatural abilities of martial artists. If one cannot evade the crossbow arrows shot by the Array-breaking Crossbow, no matter how strong their abilities, they might still find it hard to escape death.

"Damn it, who exactly is trying to kill me, who could it be?"

An icy light flickered in Avril’s eyes, as waves of killing intent surged within her heart. Yet her hands did not slow down in the slightest, suddenly behind her appeared an angel’s shadow, its pure white wings flapping out of thin air. With each flap, feathers imbued with light superpowers appeared out of nowhere and densely filled the space behind her.

"Blazing brilliance."

Accompanied by Avril’s crisp voice, these light feathers instantly shot forward, piercing through the air and colliding with the crossbow arrows.

The elder coldly smiled upon seeing this scene; the Array-breaking Crossbow specifically counters True Qi, and True Qi together with supernatural powers can’t do anything against it.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

At this moment, a sudden transformation occurred. When the dense brightness approached the arrows shot from the Array-breaking Crossbow, it seemed to ignite like fireworks instantly, producing a series of explosive sounds. The light superpowers surged, transforming into destructive force, shredding all the rapidly approaching arrows to pieces.

"Blazing brilliance, illuminate the earth."

Avril’s icy voice rang out again. Those feathers which hadn’t exploded yet pierced through the air, reverberating sharply, tearing through the air, directly enveloping the elder and the dozen black-clad men.

"Not good, this woman’s abilities are unexpectedly terrifying."

Upon seeing the arrows shot by the Array-breaking Crossbow shattered by the light feathers, the elder’s face suddenly became extremely grim. Particularly when he saw the densely packed light feathers coming aggressively, a strong sense of foreboding surged in his heart. He soared into the air, roared, and launched his hands forward.

As he unleashed his palm, the entire void filled with palm shadows, an immense True Qi wave pervaded the sky, crushing towards those light feathers.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

The two forces collided continuously in the void, producing deafening sounds akin to rolling thunder.

"Ah!" "Ah!"

Amidst the thunderous roar, there echoed several horrific screams. Although the elder blocked most of the light feathers, many still penetrated through his palm shadows, piercing the space. They directly struck the black-clad men beside him, instantly spilling blood all over the place.

"Ah!"

Behind the elder, a black-clad man in the early-stage Mythical realm attempted to use his True Qi to resist the light feathers. As a result, his True Qi Protection Shield was pierced, and the feathers imbued with light aura shredded him, riddling him with holes as if pierced by thousands of arrows, turning him into a heap of flesh within seconds.

In less than a heartbeat, the black-clad men behind the elder suffered severe casualties, leaving only a few of the strongest barely supporting while the rest were beyond dead.

"Avril, you’re courting death...!"

Hearing the screams from behind, seeing the black-clad men fallen in pools of blood, the elder’s eyes shot forth a snake-like killing intent.

He belonged to the Sun Family, a senior of Sun Aoxiong. For the sake of killing Avril, he brought out all the elite talents painstakingly nurtured by the Sun Family, each death a colossal loss. These elite talents were fundamental to the Sun Family’s status as one of the prominent families in the north. Now, losing almost a dozen made his heart feel like it was bleeding.

"Avril, today I will ensure you have no place to be buried."

The elder roared again, showing no restraint, his True Qi erupted, attacking directly. He shattered all the light feathers and charged straight at Avril, pushing his hands forward powerfully, unleashing a gale-like force. The wooden planks fixed with nails under the bridge were swept up by his formidable palm force, crashing forward with a loud whoosh.

"Light Shield."

Avril’s face showed a grave expression. Without any hesitation, light superpowers instantly coalesced before her, forming a Light Shield. The plank fragments smashed against the shield, getting shattered and rebounded instantly.

"Hmph, just a petty trick, break it."

The elder sneered coldly, launching palms imbued with powerful force, smashing heavily against the Light Shield, shattering it, and aiming directly at Avril’s head.

"Angel Strike."

A solemn expression flitted across Avril’s exquisite face. Without hesitation, the angel shadow behind her swung its longsword fiercely towards the elder. As the longsword collided with the elder’s hands, it instantly shattered like glass. Avril herself trembled violently as if struck by lightning, uncontrollably flying backward, crashing through the bridge’s handrail, and plunging into the river below.
