"They have no way to escape now. You two go check, you can kill the driver on sight, but don’t harm Lin Ruoxi!" a middle-aged man with a hooked nose stepped forward, signaling two assassins to enter the alley.
"Yes, boss."
With guns ready, the two assassins carefully approached the Jeep Wrangler.
They were all concentration, ready to shoot anyone who revealed themselves.
"Swoosh!"
"Swoosh!"
However, at just that moment, two leaves spinning rapidly and carrying inner strength whistled through the air and before the assassins could react, their wrists were cleanly severed.
Severed hands and guns fell to the ground together.
Huh?
The two assassins were initially startled and realized something was amiss. Just as they sought to respond, a piercing pain suddenly washed over them as blood spurted from where their hands had been.
"Aaahhh!"
Instants later, screams of agony filled the air.
"Fire!"
Seeing this, the boss behind immediately ordered.
Many gunmen fired together.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
But after a volley of shots, they hadn’t even caught sight of half a shadow.
And in that instant,
it was as if a surge of mental pressure suddenly struck, causing everyone to feel momentarily dizzy, as their world spun.
"This is bad."
The leading boss, staggering and almost losing his balance, was no ordinary assassin but a Martial Artist at the Third Stage of Inner Strength, with a very strong will, so he was less affected.
He quickly realized that something was very wrong.
With a reflexive roll, he tried to find cover in a safe place.
Even so, his dizziness persisted for a full three seconds.
All the while, screams echoed faintly in his ears.
When he finally came to, with his consciousness clear, he found a man in black standing before him, staring at him with an indifferent gaze.
"You, who are you..."
The boss of the assassins, his face suddenly ashen, realized it was the driver of Lin Ruoxi’s car. How had he appeared right in front of him?
Only then did he notice that the assassins he had come with were all lying on the ground.
Blood was everywhere, cries of pain filled the air!
How could it be?
How had the driver done it?
But at this moment, he didn’t have time to ponder that question. Instinctively, he lashed out with a particularly vicious strike aimed directly between Su Luo’s legs.
Su Luo’s expression turned icy: "Seeking death!"
Gracefully deflecting the attack from the assassin boss, Su Luo delivered a swift roundhouse kick to his body.
The assassin boss, like a broken kite, was sent flying, crashing into a wall of the alley and creating cracks in it before tumbling to the ground.
"Cough."
After hitting the ground, the assassin boss suddenly coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood.
Sure, here is the translated text:
Clearly, the force of Su Luo’s kick just now far exceeded the limit the assassin leader could bear.
"What, what are you going to do?"
The assassin leader looked at Su Luo in horror.
Su Luo walked over, without a word, and stepped on his leg.
"Ah."
Accompanied by the assassin leader’s screams, his entire lower leg bone was directly crushed by Su Luo.
"If you keep howling, I’ll kill you."
Su Luo squatted down and simply said the words indifferently. The assassin leader forcibly stopped his own screams.
His gaze towards Su Luo became even more terrified.
At this moment, Su Luo’s eyes were indeed terrifyingly cold.
When he just became a cultivator, he was not like this. It was only after counter-killing Lin Wu that Su Luo found out that, facing his enemies, his heart was exceptionally cold, showing the cultivator’s indifferent attitude toward life.
Totally different from his attitudes toward Aunt Shen, toward Rose, toward Old Master Lin, toward Lin Ruoxi, and others.
"Tell me, why did you try to assassinate Lin Ruoxi? Or rather, why did you kidnap her?" Su Luo asked.
The assassin leader remained silent.
Su Luo didn’t waste words and directly stepped on the assassin leader’s other leg, crippling it too.
"Ah!"
The assassin leader couldn’t help but scream out in pain.
But under Su Luo’s gaze, he quickly suppressed his screams again.
However, the pain made his cheeks twitch, beads of cold sweat formed on his forehead, and his face turned pale.
"I’ll ask you one more time, who sent you?" Su Luo asked coldly.
This time, the assassin leader didn’t dare to conceal anything and directly said, "It was... the Geng Family of Jiangnan. They paid us to ensure that Lin Ruoxi was kidnapped and brought back to Jiangnan."
Su Luo looked into the assassin leader’s eyes, confirming that he wasn’t lying, then knocked him out with a chop to the neck.
Although Su Luo didn’t kill him, with both legs crippled, his future wouldn’t differ much from that of a disabled person.
Meanwhile.
Inside the vehicle.
Lin Ruoxi bit her teeth tightly; she had been crouching low in the back seat the whole time, trying her best to keep her body out of sight of those assassins.
But the sounds of gunfire and screams from outside the car were clearly heard by her.
She had only seen such scenes in blockbuster movies, never having experienced them in real life.
Even though she was a well-known beautiful CEO in Jiangbei, managing an enterprise with a thousand employees, and a powerful figure in the business world, her competitors were all about business competition, not this kind of life-and-death struggle.
In such a situation, no matter her status, it was useless; she was just a woman feeling helpless, anxious about her own predicament, and worried for Su Luo’s safety, yet powerless to change anything.
In her eyes, a faint mist was even rising, with her eyes becoming slightly moist.
Suddenly.
The car door opened.
Lin Ruoxi was startled.
But she soon made out the figure who sat down in the passenger seat.
"Su Luo?"
Seeing him, Lin Ruoxi exclaimed out loud. Her high-hanging heart finally settled down.
Immediately, Lin Ruoxi hurriedly asked, "Su Luo, are you okay? Are you hurt?"
Her feelings were clearly defined, just as she resented Su Luo for seeing her naked, resented his unwelcome touch on the bus, she still felt grateful for Su Luo saving her grandfather.
At this moment, Lin Ruoxi’s only thought was that Su Luo was protecting her, and she also worried that he might be hurt.
