Chapter 726 The Breath of Death
Jiang Ci's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and his entire body was shrouded in a chilling killing intent.
Wherever he went, the temperature was bitterly cold, and ice rapidly froze within ten meters of him.
Anyone who was close to him experienced varying degrees of impact on their speed and agility, including members of the Second Legion.
"Swish...swish swish..." With each swing of the crystal-clear ice sword in Jiang Ci's hand, an enemy fell.
There was no blood splattering, but the ruthless killing that could bring someone down with a mere wave of the hand still terrified many people.
Guan Jiechen had just given Sun Yuxin the treatment potion when he looked up and saw Jiang Ci killing enemies as easily as slicing melons and chopping vegetables. He was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he dared not show any anger towards him.
As Jiang Ci fought bravely against the enemy, Luo Ziyu and other members of the Second Legion also rushed towards the enemy.
The support teams that had been delayed began to arrive one after another.
Before long, apart from a few who were clearly the leaders and were captured alive, the rest were all killed on the spot.
Jiang Ci, holding the still bloodless ice sword, stood up straight, exuding a murderous aura, and slowly turned his head to look in the direction where Bai Mianmian had disappeared.
In the depths of his dark eyes, it seemed as if a ferocious beast was lurking, ready to pounce at any moment.
"Ah... Ci." Shi Sijin rushed over with her people and immediately saw Jiang Ci surrounded by an aura of killing intent. She couldn't help but call out softly.
He had only seen Jiang Ci like this once before.
At that time, he and Jiang Ci were still in the same team. They were trapped in a high-level insectoid swarm, and almost all of their team members were killed. Jiang Ci almost died there as well.
The reason they were unharmed in the end was not because reinforcements arrived, but because Jiang Ci's ice-type ability suddenly broke through to 3S level just as he was about to be killed.
At that time, Jiang Ci didn't even have time to stabilize his superpowers before he killed the insectoids who were besieging them one by one with murderous intent, managing to protect several of their seriously injured people from the insectoids' siege.
The scene from back then flashed through his mind quickly. Shi Sijin suddenly came back to his senses and hurriedly scanned the entire room. Sure enough, he didn't see Bai Mianmian. His handsome brows immediately furrowed.
Could what they said on the combat communication channel be true?!
Sister-in-law Bai Mianmian has really disappeared!
"Ah Jin." Just then, Jiang Ci's cold voice pierced through the quiet air and reached them.
Shi Sijin was about to ask where Bai Mianmian was when she was immediately interrupted, and her gaze instantly fell on him.
"Please escort Master Sun and the others back." Jiang Ci didn't turn around to look at Shi Sijin, and said in a voice as cold as ice.
Shi Sijin's pupils suddenly contracted slightly, and after a pause, she replied, "Okay."
Aci must have had a reason for making this arrangement that she herself was unaware of.
It was definitely not because I was a little afraid of him that I decisively chose to follow his arrangements.
Jiang Ci continued, "All teams of the Second Legion will accompany and escort them, ensuring their safe return to the Seventh Legion's base."
"Yes!" Luo Ziyu and the others replied immediately upon hearing this.
Guan Jiechen, holding Sun Yuxin, and Bao Zhiyuan, who came to their side, listened to Jiang Ci's arrangements, but their ugly expressions did not improve.
From the moment Jiang Ci froze Sun Yuxin and Guan Jiechen into ice pillars to block the attack, to the moment he arranged for all the teams present to escort them back, the entire process was beyond reproach.
However, Sun Yuxin has not yet regained consciousness due to her injuries.
They couldn't convince themselves that this was the result of Jiang Ci's best efforts to protect him!
"Please." Shi Sijin glanced coldly at Sun Yuxin, who was being held in Guan Jiechen's arms, and then said to Guan Jiechen in a detached tone.
Bao Zhiyuan's gaze darted back and forth between Jiang Ci and Shi Sijin. After weighing the options in his mind, he gritted his teeth and swallowed his anger for the time being. "Let's go back first." Bao Zhiyuan took Sun Yuxin from Guan Jiechen's arms and said, "Saving Yuxin is the priority."
Upon hearing this, Guan Jiechen lowered his eyes, concealing the look of relief in them, and said in a low voice, "Yes, you're right."
He was genuinely angry with Jiang Ci, but he didn't have the guts to turn against Jiang Ci here.
Seeing that they all had no objections and were preparing to return, Shi Sijin gestured for Gu Yue to lead the way.
After glancing at Jiang Ci, who remained standing there without moving, he joined the returning group.
Each team in the Second Legion glanced at Jiang Ci before orderly following the returning group.
Soon, the reunited team, with Bao Zhiyuan and Guan Jiechen carrying Sun Yuxin, will closely guard the center and fly forward in a comprehensive protective posture.
However, Bao Zhiyuan and Guan Jiechen's expressions did not improve; instead, they gritted their teeth and were secretly furious.
As for the prisoners, they were knocked unconscious and led away by the last team.
Before long, the place became completely quiet.
Jiang Ci, who had been standing there like a statue, slowly withdrew his gaze, then his figure flashed and he left from another direction.
He flew swiftly and soon burst out of the forest.
This time, he made no attempt to conceal his presence as he arrived at the upscale section of the safe zone, used a password to open the door of a villa, and then rushed inside.
"Boss?" Liang Yu, who was in the villa, suddenly saw Jiang Ci enter and called out in confusion.
I hadn't received any news that my boss was coming, so why is he suddenly here?
However, when Liang Yu saw Jiang Ci's murderous look, the words that were on the tip of his tongue, "Why are you here?", came out.
The words caught in his throat, and with a final "gulp," he swallowed them back down, along with the saliva that had been secreted excessively due to nervousness.
What...what's wrong with our boss?!
"Take me to see Zhong Jingfeng." Jiang Ci suddenly stopped in front of Liang Yu, his murderous aura undiminished, and said coldly.
"Yes!" Liang Yu answered without asking any questions, then turned and led the way.
On the second basement floor of the villa, in a completely white room, the tightly closed door slowly opened.
Zhong Jingfeng, who was strapped to the operating table inside the room, suddenly heard the sound of the door opening. His eyes, which had been staring blankly at the ceiling, instantly regained focus.
He slowly turned his head to look at the door.
I thought today would be another boring interrogation, but I never expected to run into a pair of eyes filled with cold, murderous intent.
Zhong Jingfeng's previously nonchalant gaze suddenly sharpened, the nonchalant look vanished instantly, and a look of vigilance appeared in his eyes.
His heart was pounding, and a bad feeling welled up inside him.
Jiang Ci slowly walked into the room, his cold, murderous gaze never leaving Zhong Jingfeng, not even for a moment.
Zhong Jingfeng, locked in by that murderous aura, was stiff and unable to move. He couldn't even take his eyes off Jiang Ci, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.
For the first time, he felt the presence of death.
"This is the last time," Jiang Ci said coldly, stopping a meter away.
The moment his words rang out in the room, both Liang Yu and Zhong Jingfeng's pupils contracted slightly.
