The two were chatting happily when suddenly a cold voice sounded.

"Oh, you two seem to be having a good time chatting!" The words carried a hint of jealousy.

Lin Chen actually had already noticed Yao Hui walking toward them, but he deliberately chatted warmly with Yu Feifei.

Aren't you jealous? I'm going to make that jealousy overflow.

Just as Lin Chen was about to jest with Yao Hui, a burst of gunfire suddenly broke out.

"Damn it, something's happened." Lin Chen's eyes narrowed.

Lin Chen knew that the matter of the Crystal Stones had been leaked, and getting them back to the Medicine Sect smoothly would likely be very difficult.

At this point, Jia Xiaoling also arrived with a unit of guards.

Hearing the gunfire, Jia Xiaoling's face also changed: "Damn, the Crystal Stone matter has definitely leaked."

"Do we have reinforcements?" Lin Chen frowned and asked.

"I've already called for help from Liao City, but I'm afraid distant water can't quench present thirst," Jia Xiaoling sighed.

"I just received word..."

Lin Chen frowned.

"Their leader is known as the Ghost King, and his strength is said to have reached the peak of the True God Realm; he's a super ruthless character," Jia Xiaoling said, fearful.

"Peak of the True God Realm?" Lin Chen's expression changed slightly.

Lin Chen hadn't expected that such a small, inconspicuous city could harbor such a super ruthless individual.

"This Ghost King is ruthless and cunning, a very tricky opponent," Jia Xiaoling said with a bitter smile.

"Damn, it seems these bastards have been eyeing us for a long time," Yao Hui said angrily.

"If it were just one, we could resist, but... this time there's more than just one... At this rate, I fear our people won't be able to hold out much longer," Jia Xiaoling said, looking worried.

Lin Chen looked around; many in the guard unit were already injured, and some had been directly killed by the enemy. In less than twenty minutes, the guards had already lost a third of their numbers.

"It seems we'll have to find a way to break through," Lin Chen took a deep breath and said.

"How do we break through?" Yao Hui frowned.

Lin Chen didn't speak, but in his mind, he was communicating with Xiaoshuai.

"Xiaoshuai, choose the best breakout route for us," Lin Chen said.

"Northwest, but their forces are a ragtag bunch; the easiest to break through," Xiaoshuai replied.

"We'll break through from the northwest," Lin Chen said to the others.

"Lin Chen, are you crazy? Northwestern direction... charging that way is a suicide mission," Yao Hui complained.

"I trust Lin Chen, we'll break through towards the northwest," Yu Feifei said, gritting her teeth.

"Which of you can shoot?" Lin Chen asked Yao Hui and Yu Feifei.

Both of them shook their heads, as they had always been in the Hidden Sect, focused mainly on martial arts training.

Lin Chen shook his head helplessly and said, "Yao Hui, you drive. Feifei, monitor the distance of the rear pursuers. Xiaoling, you cover me with firepower. We'll break through from the northwest."

"Alright!" the group responded in unison.

The four got into the Hummer and rushed toward the northwest.

"Bang bang bang!" Soon, the sound of gunfire enveloped the group.

Jia Xiaoling's Hummer had bulletproof capabilities, and the bullets made popping sounds on the car body.

Lin Chen leaned out and began to shoot.

Bang bang bang!

Jia Xiaoling, Yu Feifei, and Yao Hui were all stunned.

They were all martial arts practitioners with impressive eyesight, and they saw that Lin Chen's shooting was incredibly accurate, nearly every shot a headshot.

Jia Xiaoling was even more astonished; she was a renowned sharpshooter, but her accuracy was nothing compared to Lin Chen's.

Soon, the opponents' firepower was suppressed by Lin Chen and Jia Xiaoling.

Those people, though greedy, valued their lives more.

As soon as anyone poked their head out, they'd get shot in the head. Who would dare risk their lives like that?

Yao Hui floored the accelerator and successfully broke through the enemy's blockade.

"Lin Chen, I didn't expect you to be a sharpshooter," Yu Feifei said, astounded.

"It's nothing. Those people come from different factions; no one wants to be the first to stick their neck out. Though they yell loudly, a few deaths and they're done," Lin Chen said with a smile.

The car raced rapidly along the road, but suddenly Lin Chen's gaze sharpened because he saw several Hummers blocking the road ahead, with a dozen figures standing in front of them.

"Damn it!" The road was blocked, and Yao Hui had no choice but to hit the brakes and stop the car.

Jia Xiaoling looked at the people blocking the middle of the road; her expression changed slightly, and she said in a deep voice, "It's them..."

"We must strike swiftly, otherwise the rear pursuers will catch up," Lin Chen said in a deep voice.

The four approached those blocking the road, and among the group of men in black, one of them, with a sinister expression, sneered, "Jia Xiaoling, you Jia family have obtained such valuable goods. Hand them over and I might spare a few of you."

"Bullshit, Song Qiao, you've got guts; these people are special envoys from the Medicine Sect. Do you dare go against the Hidden Sect?" Jia Xiaoling said angrily.

"The Hidden Sect isn't just the Medicine Sect. We can sell the stolen goods to other Hidden Sects and seek protection. What can the Medicine Sect do to us?" Song Qiao sneered grimly.

"Lin Chen, this Song Qiao has a lightning attribute, and his strength is at the high level of the True God Realm," Yu Feifei whispered.

Lin Chen's gaze swept over those behind him; the strength of these eleven people was formidable, with six of them having reached the True God Realm, and the other five at the pinnacle of the Cloud Sea Realm.

"Is their leader not among them?" Lin Chen asked, eyes narrowing.

"No, their leader moves surreptitiously and rarely shows up; even many in the Ghost Domain haven't seen his true appearance," Yu Feifei replied.

Lin Chen nodded, seeing the dust flying behind them; his expression became tense.

"Damn, I didn't expect so many forces to show up this time," Jia Xiaoling said with a grim expression.

Around them, figures surrounded the four, and these were all high-level martial artists.

As for the ordinary people, they were on the outskirts, since bullets weren't very effective against high-level martial artists.

"Lin Chen, it seems we're going to fall this time; the four devil kings of Yancheng have all made a move."

The four devil kings, Lin Chen looked in the direction Jia Xiaoling indicated, and indeed powerful martial artists appeared in all four directions.

Lin Chen could feel the overwhelming pressure emanating from these individuals.

"It seems today is destined to be a bloody battle," Lin Chen took a deep breath.
