Chapter 332: Chapter 328: The Feeling of Being Nervous Around Women When an assassin says in a shy manner that he wants to kill you just because he is short of money, the feeling is really beyond words. "You’re here for the bounty too?" "Mhm, seven million is enough to last a year or so." Bai Huanjun nodded earnestly in reply, nearly making Ling Chen choke with anger. No wonder you’re short of money, seven million only lasts you a year; you’re either showing off or filthy rich, or a show-off rich guy. "Now that we’re both clear, can I kill you?" Bai Huanjun’s arms trembled slightly, and a Soft Sword appeared in his hand. Saying you’re an assassin being so polite, this is really not something I’m used to! Ling Chen clicked his tongue; even assassins have a sense of crisis now? What’s next, a smiley face service? "Come on!" Ling Chen nodded, the Wolf Kiss in his palm spun swiftly, and he shouted as he leapt towards Bai Huanjun. Bai Huanjun put aside his shy expression and sharply commanded; the Soft Sword flickered a streak of silver light, thrusting straight at Ling Chen’s throat. The sword was like a venomous snake lunging out, reaching Ling Chen in a blink of an eye. Mid-leap, Ling Chen gave a cool smile. The Wolf Kiss in his hand turned horizontally, barely blocking the tip of the sword. Ding! A crisp ring sounded; Ling Chen felt a strong force transmitted from the sword tip to the dagger, through the dagger to his wrist, and then to his entire arm. He felt as if he had been electrocuted, shaking him out of the air and sending him tumbling backward! The companion in the driver’s seat didn’t hesitate and moved up from the side, holding a steel spike, forearm-long, with a cold, gleaming tip aimed straight at his waist. Ling Chen, still in mid-air, saw the steel spike lunging towards him. Incredibly, he twisted his body forcibly, just bypassing the spike and landing with his feet on the man’s shoulder, pressing down hard! With a crack, the man’s body tilted, he howled in agony for a moment but gritted his teeth and endured it, although the steel spike in his hand had already fallen to the ground, his body drenched in sweat, his face pale as paper. With this kick in mid-air and borrowing force, Ling Chen shattered the man’s shoulder blade! Turns out he’s a tough guy, apart from the unexpected cry of pain at the beginning, he could actually bear it. A flash of admiration swept through Ling Chen’s eyes, but his hands were not lax. Once on the ground, he turned around, and Wolf Kiss accurately swept across the other’s neck. A thin line of blood slowly thickened, then suddenly burst open; blood sprayed high into the air. The man coughed from his throat, his head tilted, and he fell down. Behind him, the sound of a sword cutting through the air approached stealthily, but Ling Chen was far from being careless. He knew the greatest enemy was Bai Huanjun, and these two assistants were just minor characters, merely serving to harass and distract attention. Ducking below the sword’s edge, he used one leg as a pivot on the ground to continuously sweep towards Bai Huanjun’s upper, middle, and lower sections. After a dozen rounds of leg sweeps, though they were all avoided, Ling Chen had successfully breached Bai Huanjun’s close quarters defense. Hiss! Wolf Kiss grazed across the opponent’s chest. Even though Bai Huanjun was quick to react, he couldn’t dodge completely, resulting in a foot-long gash on his chest. As the saying goes, the longer it is, the stronger it is; the shorter it is, the more dangerous. In close combat, it was clear that the shorter Wolf Kiss was the more fitting weapon. Bai Huanjun’s skills were evidently not just limited to his potent Disguise Skills. Startled, he executed an Iron Plate Bridge on the spot, his Soft Sword swiftly creating a swirling arc towards Ling Chen’s legs. With a smug laugh, Ling Chen was pleased he had anticipated this move. He twisted his body for a jump, dodging the stroke of the sword, while kicking towards Bai Huanjun’s lower abdomen! This kick hit the mark; Bai Huanjun felt as if he had been struck by a high-speed car. His belly numbed, no pain felt, and his whole body turned somewhat wooden. Luckily, his head hadn’t turned to mush, and Bai Huanjun finally realized he was no match for this fellow. The best course of action when faced with the 36 stratagems is to flee! Throwing himself on the ground and rolling away may not have looked graceful, but it was a highly effective move. After rolling a few steps, he leaped to his feet, sprinted to a wall, lightly touched the top, and disappeared from sight. Ling Chen watched, dumbfounded. The guy had executed a series of moves in one fluid motion, as if he had rehearsed them countless times—truly breathtaking. Thinking back to how arrogantly this guy had looked down on all the heroes of the world, Ling Chen could never have imagined that after a few exchanges, he would turn tail and run, with no regard for his two companions who lay dead on the spot! There was nothing for it; he would have to deal with the aftermath himself. He dialed Xia Mutong’s number and an impatient voice came from the other end, "Didn’t we just talk on the phone this morning?" Ling Chen was taken aback and reflexively jumbled his words: "Ah? Yes, but... I started missing you again!" Silence came from the other end, followed by a sudden burst of anger, "I’m not deaf! Why are you yelling?!" Xia Mutong exploded. Ling Chen felt wronged. Was he really that loud? He had been particularly careful to keep his voice down. What was with her today? She had been fine this morning, and now she was acting all bitey. Not daring to provoke a woman who was completely not in a feminine mood, Ling Chen hurriedly explained the situation here, only to find that she had already hung up the call. Ling Chen stared blankly at his phone for a while before shaking his head with a bitter smile. What’s with all this rush? It wasn’t long before Xia Mutong arrived with backup, her face turning pale at the sight of the police car. "Everyone, secure the perimeter!" The female detective’s commanding presence filled the area, leaving Ling Chen utterly confused. "What’s going on? Why secure the perimeter? I took everyone down; they’re out of breath! Hurry up and deal with... Hey? Let go of my clothes, stop pulling or I’ll accuse you of harassment!" Xia Mutong’s eyes were bloodshot, and her complexion grew paler, but she gripped Ling Chen’s collar as if she wanted to strangle him alive. "Ling Chen! If you’re looking to die, just go smash your head with a tofu block! What are you doing? Got addicted to killing? Escalating to the point of daring to murder a cop? So what if you have connections? Do you realize this is a capital offense! No one can save you!" Confused, Ling Chen responded, "Hold on, who killed a cop?" "You! You’re still denying it!" Xia Mutong’s hand trembled as she pointed at the two fake policemen, one in the passenger seat of the police car and the other kneeling not far away, her face filled with heartbreak. "Quickly make a call, pull whatever strings you have. We can’t evade a death penalty, but we still have to try. I can only assume you’re turning yourself in, I can’t help you with anything else..." Xia Mutong suddenly let go, and tears silently fell from her eyes, her whole body collapsing. "Why would I turn myself in?" Ling Chen thought it was funny, yet he was also touched. If he had really killed the cops, her actions would clearly be a violation of discipline. Xia Mutong, clearly in a state of disarray from her concern, suddenly jumped up and handed Ling Chen a gun. With a commanding growl that belied her bewildered gaze, she said, "Right, right, you can’t turn yourself in, killing a cop means certain death! You make a break for it. With their current lack of knowledge and your skills, it wouldn’t be hard to make a distant escape!" (I owe you one Chapter from yesterday, I’ll sort out the rest tomorrow. Afterwards, I’ll stockpile some more Chapters for a burst of releases. I truly apologize for this period, I hope the brothers understand.)
