He was the one who always talked about fighting experts, yet he was always the one getting beaten. The only time he seemed to have a good fight was against that mysterious man in grey at the airport.
But no matter what, he had completed his mission and given him a chance.
Li Chonglou snapped back to reality as Ye Ziying charged at him again.
Having gradually figured out Old Lin's fighting style, he was now confident of victory. He even thought about finishing the fight within three more moves!
After all, several minutes had already passed, and he was aware that the two juniors behind him were watching. Being someone who cared deeply about his reputation, he couldn't let himself be in such a dishevelled state.
In less time than it took to say "it was late," Ye Ziying flickered to Li Chonglou's left, his right leg already tensed for a powerful strike.
"He'll definitely attack my heart or neck. This time, I'll trade blow for blow, and I'm sure to catch him off guard!"
As his fist drew closer and closer to the opponent, Ye Ziying could already picture the moment of victory in his mind!
However, the next second, when Li Chonglou's figure suddenly vanished from his sight, Ye Ziying was completely stunned.
What happened?
Ye Ziying knew it was the Shadow Step, but it was too fast! The stylistic change had no logic whatsoever!
"Careful behind you!"
It wasn't just Ye Ziying who was stunned; even the two who were secretly observing from not far away were startled. Neither of them had expected the fight, which had been so open and grand just moments ago, to suddenly turn into a tug-of-war!
Ye Ziying's reaction was not slow. He immediately used his internal energy to protect his vital points. With this lapse in attention, he was prepared to suffer a great loss.
"Damn it, as the old saying goes, those who care too much about their face die quickly. I finally understand!"
If it weren't for wanting to show off in front of the two juniors, he would never have made such a rookie mistake. Li Chonglou wasn't using the Shadow Step for the first time; he had used it from the very beginning!
To forget to guard against this, he was undoubtedly a complete idiot!
Ye Ziying cursed in annoyance as he braced himself to be cut, but after two seconds, he still felt no pain from behind him.
Huh?
While he was still wondering, Ye Ziying suddenly heard Yi Xia's surprised exclamation from behind him and instinctively turned around.
He saw Li Chonglou chasing after the two juniors.
"Damn it!"
Ye Ziying cursed and quickly chased after them.
The reason Yi Xia exclaimed was because he clearly saw Li Chonglou targeting him. Recalling how Li Chonglou had inexplicably said something and then knocked him out earlier, Yi Xia suddenly had a terrifying suspicion.
Could he have some improper intentions towards me?
The thought sent a shiver down Yi Xia's spine, and without a word, he turned and ran!
Lian Ji, who was beside him, couldn't help but exclaim, "How did this kid suddenly get so fast!"
When Li Chonglou appeared before him, Lian Ji finally reacted.
So, it was the slow ones who got caught! Lian Ji couldn't dodge in time and could only attack proactively, punching towards Li Chonglou's head.
However, what he hit was just air.
"Shadow Step again!"
Lian Ji yelped and, unable to retract his fist, lunged to the left. But a whip kick swept his lower body, sending him flying into the air.
It was over.
Lian Ji fell heavily to the ground but wasn't pursued by Li Chonglou. When he looked up, he saw that Captain Ye was driving Li Chonglou towards Yi Xia.
"Phew, that scared me to death. If I had been decapitated just now, it would have been a premature death indeed."
For someone from the strongest team in the entire bureau to be taken down by a sweeping leg kick, if this were to get out, it would be more than just a premature death.
But as he breathed a sigh of relief, Yi Xia's heart was pounding.
"His target was indeed me!"
He glanced back and saw Li Chonglou jumping over Lian Ji and continuing to chase him. Yi Xia's face turned green!
As Li Chonglou was about to catch up to him, Yi Xia couldn't help but cry out, "Help me, Captain Ye!"
In the forest, a three-way chase was unfolding.
Meanwhile, Ma San also encountered an obstacle.
With his sudden burst of power, he had indeed broken through all the guards in the shortest possible time and, with the utmost speed, found the trapped Second Master in a secret room.
Fortunately, Second Master was also a sensible person. As soon as he heard Li Chonglou's name, he immediately cooperated fully, allowing Ma San to carry him on his back like a doll and quickly leave!
It wasn't until they returned to the surface that everything went smoothly. Ma San's speed was so great that the other guards at Third Master's courtyard hadn't even reacted when they emerged.
In their sight, a grand avenue leading out of the courtyard was empty. With his speed, it would only take ten seconds to cross it completely!
But an obstacle appeared at that very moment.
A large green net suddenly descended from the sky, and at the same time, several streams of green liquid shot towards him from four directions!
An ambush!
Ma San's expression changed. He had no time to think and could only dodge the net while trying his best to avoid the unknown liquids.
However, the opponent was clearly well-prepared. These four streams of green liquid, though seemingly random, effectively sealed off all his escape routes if he didn't want to be covered by the net.
As soon as Ma San dodged the net, he was hit by a stream of green liquid.
"This is bad!"
The unknown was always the greatest threat. Ma San had prepared himself for intense pain. As long as it wasn't a poison that killed on contact, he would ensure the person was safely taken out!
As the green liquid hit him, Ma San felt a coolness. It didn't hurt; it was like a large piece of jelly hitting him.
Then, there was nothing more. No pain, no itching, not corrosive, not a deadly poison, just like a blob of jelly.
Although Ma San was puzzled, he didn't have time to ponder. Two expert presences had entered his senses.
At the same time, he saw the group of grey-clothed men who had fired the shots earlier.
"No, I need to finish this quickly."
Although the green liquid hadn't done anything, who knew what other tricks they had up their sleeves? The two experts who had suddenly appeared were not weak, but neither was he.
A fierce battle was about to erupt!
The grey-clothed men seemed to have learned their lesson and were no longer acting individually. This time, two core high-level members remained in Third Master's courtyard. However, they clearly hadn't grasped the fact that someone could be immune to their special weapons.
Perhaps those who knew had already died.
The first person Ma San encountered was like that, rushing forward without any scruples, as if treating him like an ordinary person, with his guard completely open.
"It feels good to lose your internal energy, doesn't it? We've been waiting here for you for a long time."
Even though it was a life-and-death battle, the grey-clothed man who charged forward first still had the mood to comment, making Ma San's expression peculiar.
He parried with his footwork and threw a punch.
