"Hmm?"
The assassin's eyes flickered upon hearing this.
If they were knocked unconscious, they would not be able to stop Po Xiao from going upstairs, and it would also indicate that they had engaged in combat with Po Xiao.
In this scenario, if Xue Ye emerged victorious, he would naturally not blame them.
With this thought, the man slowly began to speak, "Po Xiao, how can I trust you? What if you knock us out and then attack us?"
"You have no choice but to trust me!"
Ye Cangtian let out a soft snort and continued, "You can think about it. If I wanted to kill you, why would I need to knock you out? Wouldn't that be an unnecessary step?"
That made sense!
Hearing Po Xiao's reply, the man also came to understand the issue. He glanced at the people behind him, as if seeking their opinions.
The numerous Xuan-level assassins nodded slightly. The man then turned back and continued, "Alright, we trust you."
Upon hearing their response, a satisfied smile spread across Ye Cangtian's face. He said, "Congratulations, you have made a wise choice."
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian's gaze flickered towards Gui Wu. Gui Wu immediately understood Ye Cangtian's intention and her figure flashed.
*Bang bang bang…*
One palm strike after another landed, and each Xuan-level assassin fell to the ground.
Initially, they were somewhat nervous, worried that Gui Wu might resort to lethal force.
But later, as they watched their fallen companions, their chests rising and falling evenly, they felt reassured. Gui Wu's strikes were steady; these companions were not dead…
*Thwack! Thwack!*
A short while later, Gui Wu clapped her hands and returned to Ye Cangtian's side, saying, "Done. I didn't expect your reputation to be so intimidating now. You resolved the problem without even lifting a finger."
"What do you know? This is called conquering the enemy without fighting!"
"Learn from it. If you master it, it'll be a useful skill."
Ye Cangtian glanced at Gui Wu, making a lighthearted remark before his expression turned serious. He continued, "The major battle is about to begin. Be careful."
Next, they would have to face Earth-level powerhouses.
And there were quite a few of them!
Hearing this, Gui Wu nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'm not that easy to deal with."
With that, Gui Wu took the lead up the stairs.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and, without saying more, followed her.
…
The third floor of the Sky Net headquarters.
The third floor was a wide corridor with offices on either side. At the end of the corridor was a pair of large doors.
Ye Cangtian, relying on his enhanced senses, surveyed the activities within the offices as he walked.
Suddenly, he stopped.
Most of the offices on both sides were empty. Only in the innermost office could he hear footsteps.
The next moment, the office door opened, and a woman with a seductive figure and a pretty face walked out.
She had long yellow hair cascading down her shoulders, and her blue eyes twinkled, truly quite alluring.
"Allow me to introduce myself. I am Keisha, the head of Sky Net's Information Department!"
"Although I am a staff member, as a member of Sky Net, I will not flinch when Sky Net is in danger!"
"Come on, let's fight!"
The woman introduced herself to Ye Cangtian and the other and then beckoned them with her fingers.
"…"
Ye Cangtian stared blankly at Gui Wu and asked, "What's going on? Even the staff members are participating in the fight?"
*Hmph!*
Gui Wu let out a snort and said, "Either this girl has a screw loose, or she wants to impress Xue Ye and gain his favor later!"
"What are you two talking about! Don't think of me with your pig logic!"
"Besides, who says staff members can't fight!"
Keisha, hearing their words, flushed with anger, her pretty face turning red as she roared furiously.
As she shouted, she took out a remote control and pressed it lightly. The walls on both sides suddenly made a noise.
Immediately, small openings appeared on the walls, dense and numerous. From them, beams of red light shot out, which were clearly infrared sight scopes.
Seeing this, Keisha crossed her arms, a triumphant smile on her face.
She had already calculated precisely that the bullet trajectories intersected, making it impossible for anyone to pass through.
"Do you still dare to underestimate me now?"
Hearing the woman's voice, Ye Cangtian was slightly taken aback. He then looked at Gui Wu beside him and said, "Gui Wu, this little girl seems quite arrogant. Shouldn't we teach her a lesson?"
Gui Wu nodded in agreement, "You're right. Then it's up to you. Don't you like spanking women's bottoms?"
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian's old face blushed, and he glared, "Gui Wu, don't spread rumors! If my image is ruined, you'll be in trouble.
Hurry up and do it. This little girl is quite interesting. Remember not to kill her!"
*Tch!*
Gui Wu gave Ye Cangtian a disdainful glare and said nothing more, directly striding forward.
As she walked, she said to Keisha, "Little sister, playing with guns can lead to accidental discharge. You'd best behave, or I'll spank your bottom!"
"Gui Wu, you are indeed getting old, but you are not qualified to be my elder sister!"
"So stop calling me little sister!"
Keisha glared fiercely at Gui Wu, her words merciless, showing no reverence for an Earth-level powerhouse.
"Alright, alright, little girl, you just wait for me. I'll make sure your bottom blooms today!"
Hearing herself called old, Gui Wu's temper flared instantly, and her figure flashed.
As Gui Wu's figure flickered, a series of gunshots rang out.
Keisha's face instantly turned deathly pale.
She was astonished to discover that no matter how dense the bullets were, they did not impede Gui Wu. The latter had somehow avoided all the shots.
*Thwack!*
The next moment, before Keisha could react, Gui Wu had already grabbed her by the collar of her uniform and lifted her up.
"Little girl, why don't you keep being so arrogant!"
Gui Wu sneered, raising her hand as if to slap her, intending to teach this ignorant Keisha a lesson.
However, Keisha did not struggle or cry out. She remained calm.
She lightly unbuttoned her jacket and then opened it. Seeing this, Gui Wu and Ye Cangtian were stunned.
Her petite body was wrapped with layers of TNT explosives.
"Damn, this girl is quite tough."
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian muttered to himself.
As Gui Wu and Ye Cangtian's expressions changed, Keisha said triumphantly, "As a member of Sky Net, I have long been prepared to perish with Sky Net!"
Saying this, her expression turned grim as she looked at Gui Wu and said, "Old woman, let me down. Do you really want to perish with me?"
"Little girl, a friendly reminder."
"These modern weapons are useless against me. Otherwise, we wouldn't have survived this long!"
Hearing Keisha's words, before Gui Wu could speak, Ye Cangtian's voice cut in.
"Nonsense, I don't believe I can't blow you up…"
Keisha was furious, but as soon as she spoke, she suddenly realized that Po Xiao, who had been across the corridor, was now standing in front of her.
This astonishing speed left her dumbfounded.
"I am right in front of you now. If you don't believe me, you can press the button and try."
Ye Cangtian's voice reached her. Keisha's face suddenly turned crimson. She had not expected to encounter such a desperate person who feared no death.
Thinking this, she glared fiercely at the two of them and gritted her teeth, "Fine, walking alone is too lonely. I'll take you with me!"
As she spoke, Keisha abruptly closed her eyes and pressed the button on the remote control in her hand.
