It turned out that these men were Vermilion Bird's subordinates, and they were dispatched here to locate him. They followed the trail up to this location, only to realize that Mu Lianjue's assassins had arrived before them.
By the time they rushed over, the man's subordinates had already shot Zhao Xiangjun. The two opposing teams had a crossfire the moment they encountered each other.
As Vermilion Bird's people were way more skilled, his men were all shot to death in just a minute.
Unfortunately, Zhao Xiangjun was already dying.
Upon examination, they discovered the presence of a bullet in his thigh, yet it was not fatal!
The one responsible for his present state was the bullet that had hit one of his lungs.
Having braved through countless skirmishes and fights, injuries and deaths were aplenty. After checking his injuries and trying to resuscitate him, they deduced that the bullet had penetrated an artery.
