"Damn it!"
Xu Lie's face changed drastically, and a roar erupted from his mouth.
His body shot out of the ward like an arrow.
Heading straight downstairs.
He knew very well that Jiang Yuxin would not take his godmother away without permission.
Let alone his godmother not having recovered yet, finding it difficult to even get out of bed. Even if she could walk and run, she would have waited for him to return and say hello before leaving.
He had been too careless!
Ever since those two people came last time, nothing had happened in between.
He thought he had deterred those insignificant ants, but he didn't expect such a major incident to occur in the time it took him to go to the restroom.
If his godmother was harmed in the slightest, how could he explain it to Chonglou?
Xu Lie was consumed by urgency and hatred.
With no time to take the elevator, he swung his hand on the stair railing and descended like a wild goose.
One second per floor.
The patients coming up the stairs were all stunned, not daring to obstruct him in the slightest.
"Holy crap, is he even human?"
"This is what Qinggong in martial arts novels is like, right? Hurry up and take a photo with your phone, I'll be famous!"
"There's actually such a divine person in this hospital, damn it..."
As everyone marveled, Xu Lie had already disappeared, rushing out of the inpatient building.
A glance out of the corner of his eye, and he saw a Mercedes-Benz V-Class van closing its doors. A burly man dressed the same as the one who had visited him in the ward last time gave him a cold sneer.
Then he opened the door, got in, and started the engine.
"Looking for death!"
Xu Lie gritted his teeth, and with a push of his foot, he charged towards the van like a sharp arrow.
At the same moment, the Mercedes-Benz van spun its tires, tilted its head, and shot out.
It sped through the narrow hospital corridors, reaching a speed of sixty.
Many people screamed and dodged in fear.
Xu Lie ran with all his might, showing no signs of falling behind, and instead, he was getting closer and closer to the van.
"How can this beast be so strong? It doesn't match the information we had," a middle-aged man wearing a mask and large sunglasses, sitting in the passenger seat of the van, asked coldly, staring into the rearview mirror.
"He was just injured and hospitalized not long ago. Last time he injured two of our men, we didn't see anything remarkable." The burly man driving the van's cold sneer gradually subsided, and his expression turned serious.
"Lead him to a deserted place and kill him." The middle-aged man's eyelids twitched slightly. He glanced back at Jiang Yuxin and Zheng Xiumei, who were drowsily asleep in the back of the car, his voice filled with killing intent.
He was ordered by Li Hanlong to take the two women away, and no accidents could occur.
He hadn't expected that beside a mere rural woman, there would be such a fierce tiger guarding her.
However, this was not a problem for him.
No matter how powerful a person was, could they be more powerful than a gun?
If he was clueless, then let him die without a burial place. Human lives were worthless in his eyes.
"Yes!" The burly man driving the van nodded in agreement and stomped on the accelerator.
The engine let out a terrifying roar.
Reaching the exit, without waiting for the barrier, it crashed through it with a bang and rushed out of the hospital.
Before the toll collector in the guardhouse could react, Xu Lie also turned into a phantom and rushed out.
"An illusion?" The toll collector rubbed his eyes hard, muttering to himself as he watched the phantom disappear around the corner of the hospital entrance.
Qin Prefecture had a population, though not large, it was still a city.
At this moment, the roads were bustling with people. The van weaved skillfully through the crowds and traffic, effortlessly maneuvering left and right.
The speed had already reached one hundred. Ignoring all traffic lights, it sped towards the suburbs.
Xu Lie was gradually falling behind.
Fire seemed to erupt from his eyes.
Although he had obtained the cultivation method from the sheepskin scroll and his strength had greatly increased, he was, after all, just a person.
Compared to a machine, he was still lacking.
If this continued, he would lose them!
He absolutely could not let his godmother and Jiang Yuxin be harmed!
At this moment, Xu Lie had only this one thought in his mind.
Glancing at a Cadillac CTS parked on the side of the road, he saw the owner wearing a bathrobe coming out of a nearby bathhouse. As the owner had just opened the car door, likely intending to get something, Xu Lie, without a second thought, rushed over, snatched the keys, and got into the car.
He started the engine and got behind the wheel, all in one smooth motion.
It wasn't until the car disappeared from the driver's sight that the owner reacted.
"Help! Robbery!" The sharp voice echoed through the street.
With the car, Xu Lie's speed increased dramatically, keeping a tight chase on the Mercedes-Benz van ahead.
The two cars, one in front of the other, sped out of the city and arrived at a wasteland under the second ring overpass outside the city.
This was an area designated by the government for the construction of a large park.
No work had started yet, and it was desolate and uninhabited.
After the van braked to a halt, three burly men got out of the car. Two of them were holding three-edged bayonets.
The burly man who had been driving stood behind the other two, his hand reaching into his pocket, concealing something.
Creak!
The Cadillac skidded sideways and stopped in front of the three men.
Almost simultaneously, the door was opened. Using the momentum of the drifting car, Xu Lie sprang out from inside.
Without a word, he launched a "divine dragon tail" in mid-air, directly hitting the heads of the two men.
The two burly men fell backward without even a grunt, hitting the ground with a thud, their eyes rolling back as they fainted.
The burly man driving the van's face changed drastically.
Before coming here, he had investigated Xu Lie's identity as the underground boxing king of Qin Prefecture.
He thought nothing of it at first, but seeing such skill with his own eyes was understandably shocking.
He immediately roared, "Stop! If you move again, I'll kill you!"
Almost simultaneously, the hand he had been holding in his pocket emerged, revealing a gun.
A Glock 17, 9mm standard issue.
The black muzzle pointed directly at Xu Lie, who was about three meters away.
Xu Lie stopped his movement, his eyelids twitching slightly.
He knew his limitations. No matter how fast he moved, he couldn't dodge bullets like the masters in movies.
At such close range, his skills were no longer important.
As long as the other party willed it, he would surely die.
But the iron-blooded spirit he had cultivated for a long time kept his expression unchanged.
He said coldly, "Release my godmother and Jiang Yuxin."
"Who do you think you are? What right do you have to negotiate with me?" The burly man's face slowly showed a sinister grin as he shouted, "Kneel!"
Having gained the upper hand, the fierce tiger that was Xu Lie instantly became a sick cat in his eyes.
Stepping on and tormenting such a powerful individual brought him an endless, perverse sense of pleasure.
Xu Lie remained unmoved, his eyes filled with hatred as solid as substance.
"I told you to kneel, didn't you hear me?" The burly man saw this and roared angrily, "Damn it, you're asking for death."
Saying that, he lowered the muzzle of the gun and pulled the trigger, aiming for Xu Lie's thigh.
Bang!
The gunshot rang out, and blood splattered.
The rapidly spinning bullet instantly drilled a hole in Xu Lie's left thigh.
The immense force and pain should have made Xu Lie buckle and kneel before him.
But he never imagined.
He had still underestimated this fierce tiger.
The moment he was shot, Xu Lie's expression remained unchanged, as if he felt no pain at all. He fiercely kicked off the ground with his right leg.
He leaped up, instantly covering a distance of over three meters.
With a heavy punch, he smashed into the burly man's face.
Crack!
The sound of a broken nose was enough to make one's teeth ache.
How could such a earth-shattering punch be blocked by flesh and blood?
The burly man's entire face was instantly crushed into a pulp, his features completely deformed. He fell forward, covered in blood and gore.
Only then did the blood from Xu Lie's thigh begin to flow profusely.
But he didn't even look at his wound. Supporting himself with his right leg, he bent down, intending to pick up the gun from the burly man's hand.
He said coldly, "You're the one who's asking for death."
