“Damn it, damn it, why is this happening…”
In the dark alley, Lin Qifan moved like a ghost, covered in blood and utterly disheveled, fleeing with all his might.
Behind him, four or five dark figures rapidly closed in.
They were the assassins sent by the Bai Family!
“No, if this continues, I’ll die for sure. These guys are all late-stage Profound Rank powerhouses. I can handle one or two, but there are too many of them, I can’t fight them all!”
At this critical moment of life and death, Lin Qifan no longer hesitated.
Gritting his teeth, he pulled out the jade bottle from his In arms.
This was the Exploding Blood Pill he found in Fat Pig Master’s cave before. Just from the name, he knew it could temporarily increase his explosive power.
Without hesitation, he swallowed one.
Immediately, a warm current rushed to his brain, as if massaging it, smoothing out wrinkles and crevices, feeling incredibly comfortable.
“Kid, obediently leave your head behind, hehehe, I’m the 79th ranked underground assassin, if you meet us today, you’re dead!”
One of the pursuers noticed Lin Qifan’s speed slowing down and couldn’t help but mock him.
It appeared!
The villain’s essential move when everything is going their way—face-to-face taunting.
“Hehehe, I’m number 83.”
“I’m number 76, kid, surrender.”
The others also reported their names one after another.
…
Ten minutes later, Lin Qifan, covered in blood, carried a stack of heads, casually tossing them into the sewer, mockingly panting:
“What kind of assassins… cough cough, damn it, my injuries are worse…”
Lin Qifan panted heavily.
Just as he was about to leave the alley, he suddenly heard a series of police sirens.
He instinctively thought they were coming for him and quickly hid in a kitchen waste bin, enduring the sour stench and holding his breath.
Fortunately, the sirens roared past.
Lin Qifan sighed in relief and climbed out of the trash can.
After a short rest, he heard the sound of a television from the window next door.
“According to this station’s report, at 5:56 PM today, a group of Ancient Martial Artist criminals robbed the Lin City Bank, causing extremely significant loss of life and property damage…”
“During their escape, the robbery gang attacked Wanda Mall.
And took the people inside as hostages, threatening the police.
Li Kexin, captain of the city’s Ancient Martial Arts Special Task Force, stated: This is no longer an ordinary robbery, we must strike hard!”
“This station’s helicopter is currently circling the mall for live broadcast. From the few frames captured.
Among the kidnapped hostages, the figure of Shen Qing’er, the eldest daughter of the Lin City Shen Family, seems to have appeared.”
“What, Qing’er has been kidnapped!!”
Lin Qifan was greatly alarmed, not expecting his first wife to be kidnapped by robbers.
But he quickly calmed down and had a thought.
This is a good opportunity!
Since ancient times, when a hero saves a beauty, what does the hero gain?
The beauty’s favor!
If he bravely ventured into the tiger’s den alone and rescued Qing’er, she would definitely realize that compared to that scummy rich second generation, he was her true destined one!
“Hehe, as long as I rescue Qing’er, she will be eternally grateful to me and love me madly!”
Lin Qifan licked his cracked lips.
Hiss… so painful, I should take an Exploding Blood Pill.
Originally, Lin Qifan thought that since Exploding Blood Pills ‘exploded blood’, the side effects must be severe, such as meridian cracking.
He never expected that the Exploding Blood Pill left by Fat Pig Master would have such surprisingly good effects, filling him with power all over, and without any side effects after the medicine wore off!
“Hmph, Fat Pig Master can refine such a pill, yet he only taught a useless acupuncture technique and kept things hidden from his disciple. He’s already courting death!”
Casually snatching a passerby’s motorcycle, Lin Qifan sped towards Wanda Mall.
…
“Bang bang bang!”
Gunshots rang out, and dozens of Ancient Martial Artists holding guns blocked the mall’s main entrance, prohibiting anyone from leaving.
As for why Ancient Martial Artists still use guns, the answer is that guns are incredibly useful.
Within seven steps, the gun is fast; beyond seven steps, the gun is both fast and accurate.
“Brother Dao, outside are all Ancient Martial Arts Special Task Force members, we’re surrounded!”
The flat-headed subordinate leaned over to a burly middle-aged man in green camouflage, looking worried.
This time, they’d played too big.
The original plan was to rob the bank and escape by helicopter, but they never expected the helicopter to break down, forcing them to stage a Grand Theft Auto scene in the bustling city.
You know, Lin City isn’t Los Santos in America.
Bribing police or hiding in sewers to lose their wanted level simply wouldn’t work.
Now that things had come to this, their backer couldn’t help either.
Brother Dao spat, his face incredibly grim.
“First, control these hostages. With hostages in hand, the cops won’t dare to act rashly.”
At this point, they could only try to make a desperate gamble.
They say China is a forbidden land for mercenaries, and no one in the mercenary world dares to take on jobs there.
Brother Dao originally didn’t believe it and stubbornly took a job from a certain employer in Tokyo.
They needed to steal an item from a bank vault in Lin City.
Now they had the item, but they couldn’t get out.
Brother Dao said indifferently: “Let’s go, first pick out a few unlucky ones and kill them.”
Killing ordinary people in front of the Ancient Martial Arts Mobile Unit could establish a deterrent, making them hesitant to act rashly, and allowing them to demand more leverage during negotiations.
“Understood, boss.”, the flat-headed subordinate nodded obsequiously.
…
“Wuwuwu… Mommy, I want Mommy!”
“Please, sirs, have mercy, I’m just a small commoner, please let me go…”
“My father is Wang Gang! I can pay whatever you want!”
Three or four Ancient Martial Artists holding automatic rifles surrounded over a hundred people. These people either were watching movies and couldn’t escape in time, or they ran and were caught back.
Many people were crying bitterly.
The robbers they only saw in TV shows or movies had actually appeared.
Shen Qing’er and Tu Youqing were currently trembling and leaning into Jiang Yu’s embrace, their small faces pale with fright, like startled kittens.
The feeling of being pressed against by two soft bodies, one large and one small, was incredibly pleasant.
“Did the plot advance early? Logically speaking, the kidnapping plot should happen after Lin Qifan meets Blood Rose in the underground boxing arena.”
“Never mind, it’s probably the butterfly effect.”
Facing the black muzzles of the guns, Jiang Yu felt no fear.
Are you kidding? Would I, an Immortal cultivator, be afraid of a stick for burning fire?
With his ‘Indestructible Vajra Body’, he could withstand a sniper rifle bullet, and Profound Rank martial artists could no longer break his defense.
Compared to the despairing Shen Qing’er, the loli Tu Youqing’s legs were also trembling.
But she knew Jiang Yu was an Ancient Martial Artist.
Although this scoundrel was usually unreliable.
But in this situation… he wouldn’t abandon them, right?
Several people came up the escalator and walked all the way to the crowd.
Brother Dao surveyed them, his gaze locking onto Shen Qing’er and Tu Youqing.
His eyes almost popped out, and his breathing quickened.
As the saying goes, it’s better to die under a peony than to live without its beauty!
Compared to killing hostages, what he wanted to do more now was… hehehe!
“You two, if you don’t want to die, come with me.”, Brother Dao’s face revealed an evil smile.
His sharp eye instantly judged that both girls were still virgins!
