Chapter 1167: Chapter 1166: Siege
Ba Lv dashed past this enemy’s blockade, and not far ahead, there was another alleyway.
As she approached the alley, Ba Lv slowed her steps, holding her breath, and cautiously peeked out to check the situation.
Don’t stick your head out—a little more, she hurriedly pulled her head back in, as a stick grazed past her scalp.
Ba Lv inhaled sharply. In front of her, three silhouettes appeared.
The three figures slowly moved forward until they surrounded Ba Lv.
Ba Lv was already very tired. Facing a large number of enemies, including quite a few combat experts, she had no choice but to engage in a mobile battle with them.
Although this strategy could prevent her from falling into a complete encirclement, since she had to constantly move her body, it was a huge drain on her stamina.
The three enemies in front of her also did not rush to attack. They knew it was not their turn to be anxious.
Footsteps sounded behind her; it was the enemy whom she had just knocked to the ground.
Usually, if an ordinary person got kicked by her, even if it wasn’t a vital area, it would render them unable to move.
This person was just heavily kicked by her, yet managed to chase her in such a short time, proving that he was also a combat expert.
In total, there were four enemies, surrounding Ba Lv tightly. They did not rush to attack; the longer they dragged it out, the more reinforcements they would have, which worked to their advantage.
Ba Lv knew clearly that in this situation, she should decide the battle swiftly, but these few enemies were only slightly weaker than her. Whatever decisive strike she adopted, she had to be careful to achieve an effective attack.
She couldn’t wait any longer.
Ba Lv clearly heard footsteps coming from two directions, and the enemy had already located her.
Ba Lv moved, and when she was about to approach the enemy, leapt backward toward a small alley.
Ba Lv’s attack was truly sudden. Her enemies behind didn’t expect her to attack so decisively, without any flair.
Startled, the enemy had to take a backward roll to barely evade Ba Lv’s attack.
The three enemies in front rushed forward.
An enemy’s stick whistled as it swung towards the top of Ba Lv’s head.
Ba Lv sidestepped the fatal blow, while the enemy on her left silently stabbed a dagger toward her ribs.
These deadly attacks could only be dodged by Ba Lv; she had no space to counterattack.
The enemies outnumbered her and held weapons, forcing Ba Lv to dodge, leaving her quickly at a disadvantage.
With a sharp sound, Ba Lv swiftly twisted her body as a dagger passed close to her neck, even feeling its chilling intent.
Simultaneously, the enemy behind her thrust a dagger toward the place where her organs were located, an unending series of lethal attacks put Ba Lv in grave danger as she parried them.
The rogue leaders of the planet Bordeaux and the lover of the Lord Governor had conspired against Jiang Cheng and his group.
Their actions were swift, setting a trap in the hotel of Zhou Country, and Ba Lvluo walked right into it.
Faced with enemies closing in, Ba Lv could only fight while retreating, utilizing the terrain in the enemies’ encirclement map to keep moving.
Although this made it hard for the enemies to surround her, it also exhausted her significantly.
Finally, four enemies encircled her.
These four enemies were combat experts hidden among ordinary rogues.
Although Ba Lv managed to push back one enemy, the other three still sandwiched her, aiming their weapons at her vital parts. Barehanded, Ba Lv could only keep dodging.
This resulted in the enemies’ attacks becoming even more unchecked.
Bowling her head away from a swinging bat aimed at her, then performing a forward dive to dodge a dagger, before she could rise, a third enemy lunged from the side, the dagger in hand aimed at her heart.
Under the enemy’s fierce offensive, Ba Lv dodged narrowly. Although she wasn’t yet harmed, if time dragged on or more enemies joined, a disaster might soon befall her.
As if things weren’t bad enough, just as Ba Lv barely managed against the enemies before her, two more rushed out from the alleyway.
These two couldn’t physically join the fight, but they were not idle either.
These two stood outside, making sneering remarks.
"Hey girl, you’re moving too much, we’re seeing things we shouldn’t," they jeered.
"Look at the way this young girl is moving, it’s hilarious," they continued, mixing in obscene comments clearly meant to distract Ba Lv. Though she focused fully on her current opponents, their words still disrupted her.
She was already barely holding her ground against the four attackers, and now their talking further weakened her resolve.
With a swift motion, an enemy’s dagger sliced open her shoulder, just missing her flesh.
Seeing this, the four attackers intensified their offensive, while the two onlookers raised their volume further.
Fending off a chain of attacks, Fan Lv was forced to retreat step by step. She had no more energy to duel with her foes.
Leaning against the alley wall, Ba Lv was gasping heavily, her legs trembling, not from fear but because she had reached her physical limit.
Up to this point, she had been battling against dozens of enemies for nearly forty minutes.
Even a strong man would struggle to endure such a battle, let alone her, a girl who wasn’t known for stamina or strength.
Seeing the enemy lose the ability to counter, the few of them moved in to deliver the final strike.
The leading enemy sneered, "Girl, we’re not here to kill you, it’s just that..." He hadn’t finished speaking when the Flaming Firebird appeared above them.
Seeing Ba Lv surrounded by them, with a long and resonant cry, the Flaming Firebird spat out flames from its mouth.
Ruthless flames enveloped the encircled people, and in the blink of an eye, they were all engulfed in fire.
"Yo—ah..." The enemies screamed miserably amidst the blaze, struggling and yelling, but no matter what, the flames only intensified.
Soon, those enemies collapsed to the ground, their bodies emitting a foul, charred stench.
Ba Lv slumped completely to the ground. The appearance of the Flaming Firebird was undoubtedly a lifesaver for her, finally allowing her tense nerves to relax.
"Alice, what now?" Ba Lv asked weakly.
The Flaming Firebird, unable to speak like a human, could only respond with melodic chirps.
