CHAPTER 352: CHAPTER 331: DON’T SAY I DIDN’T GIVE YOU A CHANCE!

"Do you think just anyone can enter the seventh floor of the Empress Palace?" Fourth Master let out a cackling laugh again, "But you’re quite impressive, you didn’t fall into my trap at all."

"I must take the Military Advisor," Xiao Lin said resolutely.

"Exchange her, and she can leave," the woman still wouldn’t relent.

"What if I say no?"

"Then it’ll be even more regrettable, no one will leave."

"Oh? Is that so?" Suddenly Fourth Master let out a surprised cry. She couldn’t see clearly in front of her, only feeling a gust of wind coming from her side, and just like that, Xiao Lin, who was right in front of her, disappeared.

Escaping within a minute was a mandatory course at Dragon Soul, especially for this kind of skilled restraint, which was a class within a class. If you couldn’t pass smoothly, there was no food. Just when he was about to succeed, a brute force knocked him away. A tall man blocked Fourth Master, forcing him towards the mountain wall on the side.

"It seems like nothing can really trap you."

After the initial startlement, Fourth Master comfortably sat in the soft throne. Xiao Lin had already freed himself from the restraints. This was an expected outcome for her, but she was somewhat puzzled. He could have escaped just now when she approached him, so why wait until now?

Slammed to the side, Xiao Lin shook his arms to quickly relieve the blood flow. Facing him and Fourth Master, the four men with developed muscular bodies were not easy opponents. Judging from the power and speed of the collision just now, they had already surpassed the limits of normal humans.

Could this be one of the drugs Chopin took? If these drugs hit the market, no matter the country, crime rates would soar. It’s still unclear where the true lasting effect lies, but one thing’s certain: an average policeman would struggle to deal with it.

"All together?" Xiao Lin nonchalantly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand. His approach has always been to resolve things swiftly. The longer it drags, the more it discounts energy and concentration. This could be deadly on the battlefield, so before the opponent could react, he had already moved in.

Using drugs to enhance physical capabilities has a weak point, which is that reaction speed becomes sluggish. This is somewhat different from neural reflexes, which are instinctual actions made instantly. Reactive ability refers to how one responds to situations.

Grasping this weakness, Xiao Lin used a feint to bypass the first man and simultaneously kicked the big guy on his right flank, grabbing an iron chain from the side and swinging it at the second man. The one hit by the chain fell to the ground but immediately flipped back up as if nothing happened, blood flowing from his head, recklessly rushing forward. Is this another effect of the drug?

Is there any difference from being immortal? Watching the man so oblivious to pain and death, Xiao Lin’s demeanor turned somber, and his hatred for Fourth Master deepened to the bone. He had encountered many cruel and perverted people before, but never had he hated someone so intensely.

He believed this Fourth Master could also be an outstanding healer, but taking his abilities and turning them into experiments on human bodies filled him with revulsion.

"Fourth Master, you’d better make them stop. You know very well they are no match for me. I don’t want to harm innocent lives indiscriminately."

"Hasn’t the Military Doctor already killed enough people?"

Fourth Master loved to laugh, and her chuckling was always audible. Xiao Lin couldn’t see her expression. If appearances could deceive people, then surely everyone before him had been duped by this face, but beneath the beautiful exterior was an ugly heart.

"Fourth Master, don’t say I didn’t give you a chance."

Saying that, Xiao Lin no longer held back. Without an order from Fourth Master, these human puppets wouldn’t know to stop. If he didn’t strike hard, it would be an endless entanglement, continuing until these men could no longer stand, and he would be dragged down alongside them. Perhaps this was Fourth Master’s calculation, but of course, Xiao Lin wouldn’t easily let him succeed.

"Chinese people have a technique that can kill with one strike. Military Doctor, I’m curious to see if you know this technique too. Since you’ve obtained the Nine Dragons True Qi, dealing with such trifles should be simple for you."

"Heh, well, that depends on whether you have the ability to see it." As he spoke, Xiao Lin used an elbow to knock the big guy to the ground, and with a snap, twisted his neck.

Seeing their companion dead at Xiao Lin’s hands, the remaining three hesitated. Ha, it seems they’re not entirely brainless, at least they know what fear is: "Fourth Master, understand, no drug is absolute. Can you guarantee your drug is infallible? Understand the principle that the extremes will cause a reverse."

"Kid, how old are you to lecture me?" Clearly, this Fourth Master disliked hearing doubts about his drug, and even with the mechanical tone, there was detectable anger.

"I don’t think you’re much older than me." Grabbing the wrist of another charging big guy, a push broke his bone, a strike to the knee, then with the right hand, slammed onto his crown, "Second one!"

Hearing Xiao Lin report the number of people resolved, Fourth Master couldn’t help but express admiration for his speed. This Military Doctor, hailed as a legendary figure in both the underworld and the legal realm, wasn’t just for show after all.

Next up, the sternum! The chilling voice echoed from Xiao Lin’s throat. His fierce eyes seemed to pierce through the human wall right into Fourth Master’s chest, suffocatingly preventing thought.

Telling the enemy your next move isn’t necessarily arrogance. You can interpret it as disdain.

Standing before the two burly men, Xiao Lin smiled and said, "Fourth Master, do you still want more innocents to perish?" Looking at these puppets, devoid of basic human dignity, Xiao Lin couldn’t help but feel a tinge of mercy.

"Then it depends on whether the Military Doctor is willing to cooperate!" Fourth Master lit her beloved cigarette, taking occasional drags.

"How to cooperate? There’s no way I’d stay here. Lian must be the one I take away today." Xiao Lin stood straight. Talking isn’t always the upper hand; no negotiation remains static, or may even result in worse consequences. Not wrongfully killing any innocent is Xiao Lin’s principle: "Fourth Master, feel free to speak your mind."

"Everyone says Dragon Soul has a smart woman comparable to Zhuge Liang from the Three Kingdoms, but I find they’ve overlooked one person." Fourth Master seemed very happy, so her laughter was particularly loud: "The truly formidable person at Dragon Soul isn’t the Military Advisor, but the Military Doctor indeed." (To be continued.
