<h4>Chapter 1101: Chapter 1108: Rescue</h4>


    Clutching his aching chest, Chu Huaiyang looked up incredulously at Ling Chen. He couldn’t imagine that the Ling Chen, who once could only fight him to a draw, now toppled him effortlessly. How much time had passed, yet Ling Chen’s progress was astonishingly fast.


    It’s only been a few months, but Ling Chen’s transformation was undoubtedly the greatest. The fusion of the Nine Yang Qiankun Step had significantly enhanced Ling Chen’s skills. In addition, with dedicated training during this period, Ling Chen’s internal cultivation methods had shown slight improvement. Therefore, Chu Huaiyang was no longer his match.


    "Zhu Hong, surrender." Ling Chen said, "You cannot escape."


    Zhu Hong nced at Chu Huaiyang lying on the ground and coldly sneered, "Useless!" After a pause, he turned to Ling Chen and said with a cold smile, "Ling Chen, don’t be too pleased with yourself. Even in death, I won’t fall into your hands." As he finished speaking, Zhu Hong reached to his waist, and a dagger instantly appeared in his hand.


    Seeing Zhu Hong ce the dagger against his neck, Ling Chen shrugged and said indifferently, "Considering suicide? Fine, don’t me me for giving you the opportunity. If you die here tonight, it’s a relief for everyone. Please, go ahead!" Ling Chen gestured for Zhu Hong to continue.


    Holding the sharp dagger, Zhu Hong gritted his teeth, a trace of hesitation flickering in his eyes. He didn’t want to die, no one does, butpared to dying, he was even less willing to fall into Ling Chen’s hands. After experiencing so much, he didn’t want to be a loser, which would undoubtedly be painful.


    ncing at Chen Quan and Ji Gang still engaged in battle, Zhu Hong knew Chen Quan couldn’t spare himself and wouldn’t be able to save him. Looking at his predicament, Zhu Hong couldn’t help but feel dejected. He did so much, yet stillcked the power topete with Ling Chen. If... if it weren’t for Song Mingzhe’s incident, losing a vitalbat asset, perhaps he could have had a chance to escape tonight.


    It seemed his fate tonight was already sealed. Thinking of this, Zhu Hong stared directly into Ling Chen’s eyes and said slowly, "I originally wanted to y a game with you, but it looks like there’s no chance." After speaking, Zhu Hong bit his teeth, closed his eyes, and fiercely drove the dagger towards his neck.


    Beep beep!


    Just at that moment, an ear-piercing car horn suddenly sounded. Following it, two dazzling headlights shone through.


    This unexpected change instantly caught everyone’s attention. Zhu Hong released the dagger and looked up to see an off-road vehicle speeding rapidly along the road, moving incredibly fast, reaching close in an instant.


    Seeing the off-road vehicle charging recklessly, Ling Chen and the others’ expressions changed slightly, not daring to block it physically, hurriedly retreated to avoid the vehicle’s impact. At that moment, the off-road vehicle swerved, stopping steadily beside Zhu Hong. Meanwhile, the car’s rear door opened, and a low voice came from inside: "Get in!"


    Although he didn’t know who was inside, Zhu Hong didn’t hesitate. At this moment, he only had one thought in his mind: escape!


    Sitting in the car, Zhu Hong grabbed the door, ready to close it.


    "Help me!" Hearing Chu Huaiyang’s voice, Zhu Hong nced over, looking at Chu Huaiyang struggling to get up on the ground with ice-cold eyes. Their eyes met, and Chu Huaiyang wanted to say something, but s, Zhu Hong ignored him, directly closing the car door.


    Watching Zhu Hong heartlessly abandon him, Chu Huaiyang felt chilled to the heart. He thought Zhu Hong would save him, but who knew the other party wouldn’t care about him at all.


    Once Zhu Hong sat in the car, the off-road vehicle immediately started, tires spinning wildly, grinding against the ground and raising a burst of white smoke.


    Bang!


    Just then, a loud crashing sound came as Ling Chen somehow appeared on the hood of the off-road vehicle, punching onto the windshield.


    With one punch, Ling Chen was surprised to find the off-road vehicle used bulletproof ss. However, even with bulletproof ss, under Ling Chen’s punch, the surface instantly cracked with numerous fissures. Just one more punch would shatter the ss.


    But before Ling Chen could strike again, a whizzing sound suddenly came. Ling Chen looked up and saw a figure rapidly approaching. With that figure’s impact, Ling Chen was knocked off the hood, rolling to the ground.


    Without Ling Chen’s blockade, the off-road vehicle moved unimpeded, immediately heading toward the end of the road. Seeing this, Ling Chen hurriedly called out, "Beison, block it, don’t let it escape."


    The boss had spoken, Beison didn’t hesitate, at once forming a human wall with team members, blocking in front of the off-road vehicle.


    "Prepare!" Following Beison’smand, more than ten team members took out their modified crossbows. Because Huaxia restricted firearms, Ling Chen dared not make exceptions, so he could only use cold weapons to arm the team. The crossbows modified by Tang Guolun, incorporating the features of Zhuge Crossbow, could load ten crossbows at once, allowing continuous shooting, with a range of about thirty meters.


    If exceeding the range, the power drastically decreases, unable to cause damage.


    At this moment, the off-road vehicle was less than thirty meters away from them. With Beison’s order, more than ten crossbows fired in unison, targeting the off-road vehicle’s driver. As long as they took down the driver, they could stop the vehicle and regain control of Zhu Hong.


    More than ten crossbows shot through the air, instantly shattering the cracked bulletproof ss, exposing the driver without any protection in Beison’s sights. One round of volley, and the off-road vehicle’s driver would have no chance of survival.


    However, just as Beison was about to give the attack order, two figures silently appeared behind them. No one noticed the presence behind them, and by the time they reacted, it was toote. Those two figures moved swiftly, in a blink, nearly half the men were knocked to the ground, including Beison.


    Although Beison was an experienced mercenary, facing masters, he had no power to resist.


    Taking care of those blocking them, the off-road vehicle elerated, rushing past them, disappearing into the darkness instantly.


    "Mission aplished!" Someone shouted, and the man entangled with Ling Chen hesitated not a bit, immediately disengaging from the fight, reaching into his pocket, and throwing something hard to the ground. Instantly, white smoke erupted, enveloping everything around.


    As the smoke dissipated, Ling Chen nced around, those who made the move had already vanished without a trace. Moreover, not only Zhu Hong but even Chen Quan took advantage to escape Ji Gang, whereabouts unknown. In the center of the scene, only Chu Huaiyang remained lying on the ground.


    "Who rescued Zhu Hong just now?" Ling Chen walked directly to Chu Huaiyang and asked.


    "I don’t know."
