In the midst of the drama, they were still so awe-inspiring, but in the blink of an eye, who would have known they would fall to such a situation?

Yanran looked at those squad members who kept shooting at her while retreating, gave a cold smile, then wiped the blood off her face.

With a determined body, she slipped from the window onto the outside wall, her claws deeply embedded into the wall, moving like a nimble animal, crossing the fourth floor directly to the fifth floor.

On the corridor of the fifth floor, more than a dozen fully armed personnel were escorting a leader-like figure towards the top floor.

They spotted Yanran, and in an instant, opened fire with all they had, desperately shooting at her.

The storm of bullets suppressed Yanran's advance, and for a time, she could only watch as the window squad members slowly retreated to the rooftop.

Time was running out, Yanran's heart was filled with reluctance. Seizing the moment when the enemy's firepower slightly weakened, she ventured out and rushed with all her might in the direction where the foe retreated.

The squad members did not all retreat to the rooftop; a few stood guard at the stairway. Seeing Yanran rushing towards them, they started shooting again.

In no time, amidst Yanran's surroundings, bullets flew like debris, and the intense firepower forced her to hide behind a pillar. The raining beams pinned her to the pillar, giving her no chance to move.

Just as Yanran felt indignant, suddenly there were gunshots from her side, beams of light flanking the unprepared personnel and shooting them into disarray and retreat.

Yanran peeked out, only to see Ba Lv holding two short guns, shooting at the unguarded enemies' flank.

Seizing this opportunity, Yanran dashed up the stairs to the rooftop.

As soon as she poked her head out, the enemies began firing at her; over ten people's firepower was formidable. Not only Yanran, even those who eliminated the ones below and followed her up, like Ba Lvluo, couldn't lift their heads to shoot.

A noise from a transport spaceship starting up was heard, and it was clear that the squad leader was about to leave the building, and then finding him would be extremely difficult.

Just as Yanran and Ba Lvluo endured the fierce firepower of the enemy and were at their wit's end, an astonishing scene unfolded.

Though the transport spaceship's thruster had begun to spin, it couldn't budge at all. Simultaneously, Yanran and Ba Lv noticed the gunfire still echoing, someone was still shooting at their hiding place, but the firepower had weakened considerably.

Faced with the overwhelming enemy firepower, Yanran and Fan Lvluo had no way of retaliating. Before the enemy's fire, they could only crouch and avoid, unable to find even a slight opening to strike back.

On the rooftop, the transport spaceship was ready for take-off, seemingly prepared for the leader to escape into the sky. If they couldn't stop him now, where would they find him later?

Just as Yanran and the others were at a loss, a strange phenomenon occurred.

A figure blocked the front of the transport spaceship; this person's sheer strength kept the spaceship firmly in place.

Upon seeing the person blocking the spaceship's path, the escaping crew naturally assumed he was an enemy. Consequently, part of them turned their guns on him and began their attack.

Taking advantage of the reduced enemy firepower, Ba Lvti stepped forward, unleashing a flurry of accurate shots, felling several squad members on the ground.

Yanran and Fan Lvti rushed onto the rooftop, only to see the person blocking the spaceship's path; in that moment, feelings surged within them, and the faint-hearted Yanran's eyes started brimming with tears.

That person was her teacher, Jiang Cheng.

Feeling a surge of grievance, it was like a child seeing a parent they want to confide in. Seeing Jiang Cheng, Yanran had so much she wanted to say to her teacher.

However, clearly now was not the best time for a conversation.

Eliminating the remaining enemies was the most pressing task. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Under the cover fire from Ba Lvti, Yanran crouched low, using the terrain of the rooftop to flank the position of the remaining resisting personnel, launching a bloody attack.

In close combat, no one was Yanran's match, even these personnel fell after a single confrontation under her assault.

With effortless movements, Yanran knocked all the personnel to the ground, not concerning herself with whether they were dead or alive.

Jiang Cheng's one hand barred the spaceship's route, while the other easily passed through the glass windshield, pulling the pilot out of the craft alive.

The transport spaceship stopped operating. Seeing no hope for success, the leader inside dejectedly stepped down.

Even though his current status was no different from a captive, his expression remained defiant. His flushed face glared as he waved his hand towards them, "You're done for this time. You actually dared to attack the squad building!"

Jiang Cheng, unclear on how everything unfolded before him, knew this squad leader was his female disciples' target.

Thus, he silently stood there, watching quietly as his two female disciples approached the leader.

Logically, Yanran and Ba Lvti should first have a few words with their teacher, perhaps something like apologizing for not heeding his words today.

But given the urgency, they didn't engage in unnecessary exchanges.

Yanran, brimming with triumph, extended her hand towards the furious leader, who was dumbfounded, unsure of what the beautiful girl before him wanted from him.

"Give me back my card!" Yanran nearly exploded in anger as she spoke. Had it not been for the squad leader's greed, how could so many of his subordinates have died?

"What card? How would I have your card?!" The leader was indeed stubborn, his face indifferent to Yanran's demand.

"The leader of the Divine Wind Jue had someone intercept our card before delivering it to you for unsealing," Yanran said. "Stop pretending! Hand over the card, or you'll have a death sentence today!"

The squad leader sneered coldly, "I'm on a path to death? Perhaps you all are the ones on a dead-end road!

"You've killed so many squad members, attacked a squad building on Delmar Planet; this is a capital crime!

"If you would give up the pursuit of the card, I could consider unseen your actions here. Of course, whether you can escape is none of my business."

The leader appeared confident, believing his terms were incredibly generous. After all, he thought, is there anyone in this world who'd ignore life for the sake of money?

Now that they're on the brink of demise, who has the mind to inquire about money's whereabouts?

Yanran really didn't want to waste words with him any longer. She extended her hand, "One last time, hand over our card!" She emphasized the words "our card".

At this moment, the air was filled with the sound of transport spacecrafts, and searchlights emitted beams of bright light, illuminating the platform like it was daylight.
