Ying Luo had two Late-stage Nirvana Peering realm experts pressing in from the sides, while Liao Tongfang, at Peak-stage, closed in from behind. From the front, it looked like she and Lu Yi still had a way out.
But that opening was no accident.
Liao Tongfang and his men had planned it that way.
They knew Ying Luo could slip away through space at any moment, and pinning her down would be nearly impossible unless they forced her into a fight.
That was why they left the front open on purpose—three sides tightening, one side free—just enough to lure her straight into their trap.
The other two members of their seven-man squad were waiting ten million kilometers ahead, right where the trap had been left open.
If Ying Luo teleported in that direction, she'd land straight in their arms, blindsided.
What Liao Tongfang didn't know was that Jiang Chen had already unraveled the whole scheme. His divine sense covered everything—nothing slipped past him.
