Chapter 8 Sweeping Away the Trap
Li Xin rushed out, drawing his gun.
Li Cheng, who was behind them, also noticed something was wrong, let out a mournful roar, and chased after them closely.
He is tall with long legs, and he runs extremely fast.
Veins bulged on his forehead, and his eyes looked murderous.
The pedestrians in front quickly moved aside, so there was no delay.
However, the reaction was ultimately a bit slow.
They saw a figure flash into the alley ahead, and the second brother rushed in after him. Just as they were getting anxious, they heard a gunshot.
……
"Smack..."
At the corner of the alley, the tall man had just reached the end when he suddenly stopped, his head lurched forward, and he fell to the ground.
A small pool of blood spurted from the back of his head.
It's obvious that he's no longer alive.
Xiaoyue struggled to get up, a few drops of blood splattered on her face. She pouted, trying her best not to cry.
Before Li Xin could offer any comfort, he saw the door of a house at the entrance of the alley suddenly burst open, and three or four people rushed out, each carrying a knife and a stick.
Seeing him rushing towards them with a gun in his hand, they didn't dodge; instead, they howled and pounced on him fiercely.
"So bold? No, they don't even recognize revolvers..."
A thought flashed through Li Xin's mind, and he immediately understood the current situation.
The tall, middle-aged man was probably responsible for scouting targets on the street, whether through overt robbery or covert fraud, and then running to the hideout. Even if someone chased after them, there were other companions behind them who would help.
Their behavior was extremely outrageous.
This shouldn't be the first time something like this has happened.
"You caught one, and then gave away another. You're all unlucky."
"Hey, there's another big guy here. Qiangzi's not very good at doing things, he fell down while being chased..."
Several men ran up to him, laughing heartily.
Li Xin's eyes were cold, and he didn't even turn around to look at Li Cheng. He silently contemplated the "Third Prince's Divine Intent".
hum...
A vast ocean surged in my mind, and a divine message struck my heart.
My heart was pounding like a heavy drum.
Blood gushed out rapidly with a whoosh.
His whole body seemed to be engulfed in scorching heat, his clothes stretched taut, and his limbs were filled with boundless power.
The surroundings seemed to quiet down, and time seemed to stretch out.
The expressions on the faces and the movements of the four men of varying heights and builds were all clearly visible.
They ran at a snail's pace.
At this moment, Li Xin could see through all the intentions of these people.
One can also sense several malevolent energies emanating from the wide-open gate.
"Slap slap..."
Two gunshots rang out.
Li Xin raised his revolver and shoved it right in front of the foreheads of the two men, one fat and one thin, who were running at the front.
The opponent's knife and staff were still in mid-air, not yet brought down.
Two drops of blood splattered.
The two men tilted their heads back and fell sideways without uttering a sound.
Li Xin didn't stop, passing through the gap between the two men. With a light flick of his left hand, he snatched the sturdy wooden stick from the hand of the man on the left.
Take a step to the left, then a step to the right.
He wielded the long stick rapidly, striking the Baihui acupoint of one person on the left, and then the temple of another person on the right.
The two sticks made a sound.
puff……
Both of their heads simultaneously sank into a deep pit, their bones shattered, and red and white matter splattered out.
Li Xin felt that his body had inexhaustible energy, and his movement speed and attack speed were increased exponentially.
He doesn't need any special moves; he's just fast, accurate, and ruthless, each move deadly.
After pulling out the two sticks, his anger subsided somewhat, but he quickly pushed off with his feet. With a leap, he rushed to the front of the gate.
With a whoosh, the long staff in his hand transformed into a spear and thrust out.
One of them had just run to the door, and before he could even swing his knife, his throat was already being struck.
click.
His Adam's apple shattered, and his body flipped over.
Just then, Li Cheng managed to run to Xiaoyue's side and hug her tightly.
"Help! Help me..."
A woman's whimpering voice could be heard coming from inside the house.
Li Xin's eyebrows twitched wildly.
Without thinking, he rushed into the house.
His eyesight was exceptionally sharp, and he could see clearly at that moment:
With the gate wide open, five or six women and children of varying ages were tied up inside; some were crying, and some were shouting.
On one side of the room, at a wine table, cups, plates, and bowls were overturned.
Two burly men, one holding a short sword and the other a machete, were glaring menacingly at them.
"Friend, which gang has overstepped their bounds? We see each other all the time, so let me know..."
The burly-browed man with the machete remained calm; even when attacked, he didn't forget to ask questions.
"You talk too much nonsense."
Li Xin slowly raised his short gun.
The two men were visibly alarmed and quickly dodged to the left and right.
These two were clearly the leaders; they were more skilled and reacted faster.
The key point is that they actually recognized the pistol, which shows they have exceptional knowledge.
Unfortunately.
In Li Xin's eyes, their movements seemed to have slowed down by half.
No matter how agile the movement or how correct the response, it is of little significance.
"Slap slap."
Both men were shot in the head.
My body was still suspended in mid-air, and I could no longer feel anything.
It fell to the ground, twitched twice, and then remained still.
"Well done."
Li Cheng rushed in, panting heavily.
Holding Xiaoyue tightly in one arm and wielding an ebony stick in the other, his eyes were bloodshot, and he wished he could rush up and smash the two corpses to pieces with the stick.
He spat heavily, but finally managed to hold back, and turned to walk towards the corner of the room where the woman and child were tied up.
"It's a human trafficking den. These heartless bastards are incredibly audacious; they even dare to do it in broad daylight."
"careful."
Li Xin gave a sharp shout.
His body darted forward.
He had already grabbed his older brother's shoulder and pulled him back hard.
He was in a state of divine power, with his strength reaching twelve points, making him much stronger than an ordinary strongman, and only slightly weaker than his elder brother Li Cheng.
However, its speed was almost twice as fast as Li Cheng's.
With the added speed, he reached out and grabbed Li Cheng heavily, nearly pulling him backward.
Behind the bound child and woman, a short figure shot out like an arrow.
As it rolled to the ground, its five fingers, like claws, reached out and hooked onto Li Cheng's waist and ribs, emitting a sharp, whistling sound.
With a "rip," the two layers of cloth were torn apart.
If Li Xin hadn't reacted quickly enough and hadn't intervened, Li Cheng would likely have been disemboweled by that attack.
Li Xin pushed his elder brother aside with one hand, pulling him away from the opponent's sudden claw attack.
His mind raced, and the revolver in his hand had just gained a firing line of sight, pointing at the short figure.
Uh...
A gray-white light had already struck them.
【hidden weapon】
Without a second thought, Li Xin held his short spear horizontally to block the gray-white light.
It blasted open a patch of stone dust.
The wrist jolted violently, and the revolver bounced heavily out of his hand.
It was actually a stone-throwing technique.
It has such great power and strong penetrating ability.
This person is a master.
Li Xin felt his hands begin to stiffen and go numb, a chill ran through him, and his killing intent surged.
The short figure suddenly shrank, then its body stretched out...
Like a venomous snake flicking its tongue, a withered, thin hand, with sharp fingers, reached for its own throat.
Bang!
Li Xin reacted even faster.
He threw the stick aside with his left hand and blocked his throat, then pushed sharply to the right while simultaneously tilting his head slightly to the left.
The moment my palm touched the other person's wrist, my entire arm and hand felt slightly numb and tingly, as if I had been electrocuted, and I jerked away.
A sharp gust of wind flashed past my ear.
At the same time, the short old man spun around, and his other sharp claw, like a whirlwind, grabbed his right waist.
"Impressive skills."
Li Xin roared.
Lightning bolts shot out from the right foot.
It landed squarely on the opponent's lower back.
This person's moves are ruthless and powerful, each strike potentially fatal, and he has also developed a strange and unpredictable shockwave technique.
Once you come into contact with this force, you can't exert your own strength at all.
It's as if the opponent is stubborn iron, while one's own strength is tofu.
If you confront someone head-on, your attack will dissipate with a single blow, putting you at a significant disadvantage in a fight.
But fortunately, I am not without my own advantages.
They react faster than their opponents and seize the initiative in their actions.
The opponent's counter-moves and transitions were incredibly fast, but I was even faster.
With a single kick, he knocked away the opponent's stake, causing him to lose his balance.
The old man's reverse grabbing motion meant he couldn't reach his own kidneys.
A sharp wind swept past his abdomen along the front of his clothes...
Before the old man could change his move again, the revolver that had been launched into the air fell to the ground and was caught by Li Xin's toe.
The gun was pointed directly at the face of the old man who was rushing forward again.
In his terrified eyes.
bah...
Flames shot out.
The short old man only had time to turn slightly before he was shot in the left side of his forehead, leaving a bloody hole.
Brain matter splattered and flowed out.
His body froze on the spot, he fell straight down, and never moved again.
"Even with such impressive skills, you can't stop a gun. Old man, times have changed."
Li Xin sneered and put away his revolver.
The bullets were all used up in the battle, which was a pity. But killing these scumbags made it all worthwhile.
He was born unable to tolerate certain people and certain things.
He died because of this in his previous life.
This life will be the same.
If they see them, they can't help but kill them all.
This is precisely why he was able to escape but didn't.
He was not satisfied with simply saving Xiaoyue.
From this battle, he also discovered that his divine fighting skills were indeed powerful, possessing many wondrous aspects.
However, in terms of the application of strength and the variation of fist techniques, they are still far behind these old guys who treat martial arts as a means of making a living.
The true skill to secure one's livelihood and protect one's country lies in first making the strongest points and then addressing the weaknesses.
With this thought in mind, Li Xin activated the [Spirit Communication] secret technique again.
After taking a closer look at the bound children, a sudden surge of joy filled his heart.
Several golden specks of light suddenly flew into his forehead.
