The enemy who swooped down was apparently quick to act. After missing a strike, he immediately concealed himself again.

The alien race girl in front of him couldn't easily be dealt with for now, so the cunning enemy turned his attention towards Ye Fen.

However, he quickly realized his mistake. Just as he was about ten meters close to Jiang Cheng, he noticed that the man had already turned his head to look in his direction.

This startled the enemy, who prided himself on stealth, assassination, and surprise attack, the areas in which he possessed superpowers.

Yet, the fact that the man could detect his presence timely indicated this opponent was formidable.

There was no time for him to ponder further; within seconds, the little girl caught sight of the enemy's movement and shot arrows at him.

Although the hovering enemy managed to change positions in time, he still felt unnerved inside.

There were two opponents in front of him; the man, with his obvious deep strength, was certainly not someone he could contend with.

And yet the young alien race girl, though seemingly frail, was remarkably skilled.

The cunning enemy assessed that if they were to truly fight, the outcome would hardly be certain.

Jiang Cheng clearly didn't regard this lurking enemy as significant, asking the skinny guy and the bald one in front of him, "Is this Mr. Ballo?"

Although neither of them responded, their expressions undeniably indicated the truth.

The mysterious Mr. Ballo had finally revealed himself, but his series of assassinations hadn't yielded any result. The man before him clearly wasn't someone he could defeat, and the alien race girl was quite difficult to contend with as well.

This left Mr. Ballo feeling somewhat frustrated.

Now, as the man stood still at a distance, he was content not to provoke him, but the alien race girl locked onto his trails and relentlessly attacked, making Mr. Ballo unbearably agitated.

"Do you really take me for a sick cat just because the tiger hasn't shown its might?!"

Of course, when he lunged again, the mysterious Mr. Ballo finally revealed himself.

This was clearly a formidable opponent.

Mr. Ballo wore a mask, shrouded entirely in a dark-colored cloak, revealing only two cold, piercing eyes.

The two metallic short daggers danced up and down, aiming directly for vital points unerringly.

The duo was in close combat, rendering Yanran's bow ineffective, but it still was a reliable weapon.

The bow, made from a special metal, was highly resilient and exceedingly robust, and its sharp-ended tips were potent enough to wound the opponent severely. Watching them tussle in close quarters astounded the three men nearby.

Though they held different positions, their astonishment was over the same thing.

The mysterious Mr. Ballo was actually a woman!

Jiang Cheng was surprised, but even Heizi and Bald didn't know the gender of the mysterious Mr. Ballo, which was testament to the enigmatic nature of Mr. Ballo.

Given Heizi and Bald's not-so-low status within the Black Group, they had always heard about Mr. Ballo but had never seen her in person.

Now they finally saw her, and to their surprise, she was female, leaving them stunned.

Jiang Cheng deduced from Mr. Ballo's movements and the sounds she made during combat that Mr. Ballo wasn't very old.

A young woman like this, surprisingly an important figure within the Black Group, left Jiang Cheng quite amazed.

The two young ladies were tangled in a fierce exchange, fighting for quite some time, with Yanran slightly faltering.

Observing from a distance, Jiang Cheng recalled how Yanran loved to use a bow and arrow, but in close combat she lacked a fitting weapon. Although Yanran brandished the bow skilled and brilliantly now, it was apparent that it didn't naturally fit her hand.

Someday, he mused silently, he needed to find a suitable weapon for his female disciple.

At his home on Earth, he possessed several extremely precious weapons, some that took years to find and others were trophies of war, treasures he enjoyed handling in his leisure.

Without doubt, one of them would suit Yanran.

Mr. Ballo decided to retreat; since the mission couldn't be completed now, it would have to wait. As long as these two lived, he would never let them go.

The short daggers accelerated in attacking speed; caught off guard, Yanran staggered two steps back, just as she prepared to charge forward, her opponent dropped something, and black smoke veiled his figure. Yanran hastily withdrew from the smoke, and once it dissipated, Mr. Ballo had vanished.

Almost simultaneously, Jiang Cheng's figure disappeared too.

Taking advantage of the smoke cover, Mr. Ballo attempted to escape this battlefield. Just as he turned, he saw that fearsome man standing before him, gazing icily at him.

Feeling as if doused in icy water, Mr. Ballo shivered, clenched his teeth, and lunged the short dagger towards Jiang Cheng.

The dagger was thrust out, missing its target, as the man's hands firmly seized his.

There really was someone who could catch him barehanded!

Mr. Ballo was visibly shocked, but his hands didn't pause.

With a faint clang, the dagger's tip shot out suddenly, and simultaneously, Mr. Ballo kicked at Jiang Cheng's abdomen.

Seeing the ruthless demeanor and skilfulness of this young woman didn't surprise Jiang Cheng. After all, wasn't Mr. Ballo always the assassin responsible for huge tasks? If she wasn't tough, how could she complete her missions?

A protective barrier formed, enclosing Jiang Cheng's body, nullifying Mr. Ballo's attack immediately.

Simultaneously, Jiang Cheng swung his palm, sending Mr. Ballo flying sideways with a slap.

The failure nearly broke Mr. Ballo mentally; within moments, this man allowed her no chance, completely defeating her, shaking her confidence down to the ground. Never in her life had anyone hit her, especially not this obnoxious man. She continuously flickered her figure desperately while Mr. Ballo exhausted all means, employing all her techniques.

But no matter how she tried to escape, the man continually reappeared before her, blocking her path.

Mr. Ballo finally resigned, no longer attempting to run.

She halted her movements and removed her mask, revealing a gorgeous face in front of Jiang Cheng, though marred by five red finger marks, making it less harmonious.

Caressing the facial injury, her large eyes flared with anger, wishing the man before her would die instantly.

Though unable to beat this man, not his opponent, cursing him in her heart was still possible.

Jiang Cheng showed no expression towards the radiant young woman, resuming his steps towards where Bald and Heizi were.
