"Holy sh*t, Sister Xue, is your Big Aunt flowing backward and turning into a river?"

Lin Hai's eyes widened, and he threw in a little jab.

Xue Meigui leaned against the wall, covered in fresh blood, a heavy scent of blood causing one to wrinkle their nose involuntarily.

Seeing it was Lin Hai, Xue Meigui finally let out a breath of relief, then she spoke coldly and sharply, "Lin Hai, take Mengru and Mingyue and leave quickly."

"Huh?" Lin Hai was full of confusion, his mind racing.

Logically, in a place like Yanjing, even ordinary experts are very restrained and cautious, they would never casually resort to force.

Because, once you become too arrogant, within minutes they'll have someone from Yanhuang Soul knocking on your door, inviting you for tea, and casually chatting about life in a special prison cell.

What? You say you won't go chat? Sorry, it's the Yanjing Yanhuang Soul headquarters, and they call the shots here; you don't have a choice.

Want to resist? Ha-ha, welcome to the zoo, with Tianlong and his top experts coming out in force, you'd be caught back in minutes while paying the toll at the highway entrance, and then, you'd not only be contributing to national toll services but chatting about life wouldn't be that simple anymore.

"Huh what, are you dumb? This place isn't safe anymore, take Mengru and Mingyue and leave immediately."

Xue Meigui furrowed her brows, her tone urgent.

"But you're bleeding so much, don't you need to go to the hospital?" Lin Hai asked with concern.

"Now is not the time to go to the hospital; we must ensure your safety." Xue Meigui's eyebrows furrowed even deeper.

"Sister, we shared a house after all; I can't just watch you bleed to death."

As Lin Hai spoke, he moved toward Xue Meigui.

"Women's compassion, it doesn't matter if I die, this life was given to me by Demon Young Master years ago, now I'll return it to him, but you all must not die."

With teeth gritted, Xue Meigui's breath weakened further due to the loss of blood, her originally delicate face now pale as paper.

"Let's go, we'll all leave together, don't worry, I'm strong and fit, I can carry you while running."

As soon as he finished speaking, a gloomy voice echoed in the night sky.

"Want to leave? Humph, none of you will leave today."

Immediately, a shadow fell silently from the sky, like snow treading, using Qinggong to descend.

"A Super First-class Expert, just a sliver away from reaching the peak of Super First-class."

In the instant when the opponent showed his Qinggong skill and landed, Lin Hai immediately judged his strength.

Xue Meigui's pupils filled with intense urgency.

"Quick, leave, I'll hold him off."

"Damn, you're not his match," Lin Hai said.

Xue Meigui only had the strength of a First-class expert; being a private bodyguard boss would absolutely be no problem, but facing this opponent, tsk tsk, the situation was worrying.

Moreover, from the opponent's every move, it was clear that this guy was definitely a killer type.

Such people, with everything centered around killing, their techniques would be as simple as possible, as sharp as possible.

"I can't worry about that now, I must complete Demon Young Master's task, you all leave quickly, I can hold him off."

"But... I don't want Mengru's peaceful life to be shattered, she still needs to happily go to school with her backpack tomorrow..." Lin Hai shook his head.

Xue Meigui gritted her teeth in anger.

Is this the right time for your stubborn peasant mindset to flare up?

The opponent is a top expert; Demon Young Master himself would be extremely cautious and vigilant in dealing with him.

"Leave quickly, otherwise it'll be too late for anyone to get away."

Xue Meigui gritted her teeth, angrily urging.

"I'm not leaving. Back in our village, I was nicknamed 'Little Prince of Fighting.'

Lin Hai stubbornly shook his head, unwilling to let Mengru get involved with matters beyond the ordinary life.

Just like he wouldn't want Ouyang Xiaoya and the other girls getting mixed up in the Dark Underground World.

"Little Prince of Fighting your ass, you're just going to hinder me, get out of here immediately!"

Meanwhile, the enemy began approaching steadily from the dark alley.

Under the dim lights, their true appearance could finally be seen.

A black robe with wide flowing sleeves, and a mask akin to the ghost-faced ones in Beijing opera, appearing incredibly eerie and spine-chilling in this setting.

"Creepy!"

The bone-chilling, eerie laugh emanated from the Beijing opera mask, adding even more to the atmosphere of fear.

"Sh*t? Turns out it's a performer?" Lin Hai subconsciously quipped.

Xue Meigui almost had her internal organs and blood reverse again, holding back a mouthful of blood at her throat.

"He's not a performer!"

"Lin Hai, I know you might know a bit of kung fu, but you don't understand, this world has a dark side beyond sunlight and justice."

"He's a killer in the international Dark Underground World, ranked sixth on the Black Restricted Zone assassin list, named Ghost-faced Man."

"Telling you this because I don't want you to die; leave quickly, don't play the macho hero here."

Xue Meigui finished speaking in one breath, already made up her mind, if worse comes to worst, she's prepared to fight for her life.

As for Lin Hai, hopefully, he won't act recklessly and stay alive.

Though Lin Hai had never seen Ghost-faced Man before, he knew most of the people on the Black Restricted Zone assassin list.

Never expected, the person before him was Ghost-faced Man.

However, now the leader behind the Black Restricted Zone is practically his fiancée, so faced with this furious performer-like Ghost-faced Man, Beast Lin feels no pressure.

"Why is he trying to kill you? Is it because of Mengru?" Lin Hai asked curiously.

If Xue Meigui weren't injured right now, she would definitely beat Lin Hai up harshly.

Why so many questions? What's up with the hundred thousand 'whys'?

"Ahem, he is not chasing me because of Mengru, but this person is ruthless, he won't let anyone close to me with the same aura go."

"You all have lived with me for some time; he might aim for a clean kill."

Upon hearing Xue Meigui's explanation, Lin Hai relaxed; as long as it's not aimed at Mengru, it's much easier to handle, otherwise, he'd have to find the mastermind and eliminate future threats.

"Why is he chasing you?"

"Because my blood is different from ordinary people; since birth, my hair and pupils are blood-red."

"In the Dark Underground World, there are people who hunt those like me with special blood, selling for a high price in the black market."

"He somehow got the news about my special blood and came to hunt."

"Leave quickly, if you care, around this time next year, remember to burn paper and send flowers for me. I like little white wildflowers."

Xue Meigui finished speaking, struggling to stand up, preparing for a death-or-glory battle.

"Alright, I've got the answer, Sister Xue, you sit there and rest for a while; I'll take care of this Ghost-faced Man."

Having said that, Lin Hai stepped in front of Xue Meigui, prepared to confront Ghost-faced Man.

"Ordinary man, since you wish to die, I grant your wish." Ghost-faced Man uttered an eerie laugh and suddenly leaped, revealing a ghost claw tethered by an iron chain from under his long sleeve, reaching for Lin Hai's head.
