Thud...
Suddenly, Lin Chuan leaped into action.
Whoosh...
A flash of white light streaked by, and Eagle became aware of it as soon as Lin Chuan landed. He hurriedly dodged the opponent's strike, and the blade, thin as a cicada's wing, instantly grazed past Eagle's face.
Splash...
The sharp dagger instantly penetrated the chest of a burly man behind.
The burly man was dumbfounded; he looked down to see the dagger had pierced his heart. He felt a surge of intense pain and then, slowly, he toppled over.
"Damn it." Eagle was alarmed and shouted, "Kill him!"
Several of his henchmen nearby immediately raised their rifles and unleashed a frenzy of gunfire at Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan had already made thorough preparations; with a leap of his legs, he vanished on the spot, his thigh muscles exploding with tremendous power. In an instant, he was catapulting forward, rushing out in the blink of an eye. Eagle watched Lin Chuan coldly and roared, "Kid, let's see where you can run to."
With a pistol in hand, Eagle chased after Lin Chuan's trajectory, firing off a frenzied string of shots.
Lin Chuan moved through the hall like a monkey navigating the jungle, leaping and swinging rapidly. Eagle couldn't catch a glimpse of him. After a mad onslaught of gunfire, they still hadn't killed Lin Chuan but instead lost two Disciples to his dagger.
Whoosh...
Suddenly, Lin Chuan's figure landed beside Eagle.
"You've lost." Lin Chuan's dagger was less than ten centimeters from Eagle's neck.
Eagle was stunned, looking at Lin Chuan in terror as if he were a demon. He uttered fearfully, "Lin Chuan, you can't kill me."
"Why not?" Lin Chuan sneered.
"If you kill me, you'll never escape from Headless Town," Eagle said through clenched teeth.
"With or without you, I can't get out anyway," Lin Chuan smiled and continued, "So, whether you die or not, it doesn't change anything. Why bother?"
Splash...
Having said that, Lin Chuan didn't hesitate to pierce through the neck. Eagle's eyes widened; he couldn't understand how Lin Chuan dared to kill him in such a desperate situation. Could it be... could it be that he really didn't plan to run away?
"Big Brother!" Nearby, several strong men panicked.
"Kill... kill..." Eagle tried to say 'kill him,' but he couldn't speak those words; the blood gushing from his vessels had clogged his throat. He struggled a few times, but ultimately, he fell to the ground heavily.
Lin Chuan seized the pistol from Eagle's hand and fired at several people in the hall.
Bang, bang, bang...
All three of the burly men in the hall were shot in the forehead by Lin Chuan and killed on the spot.
Lin Chuan hurriedly rushed towards Zhou Rui. Zhou Rui, bound hand and foot, had been completely terrified by what had just unfolded to the point that she dared not speak. Lin Chuan quickly approached, put her trousers on for her, and took off his jacket to wrap around her.
"Lin Chuan, I... I..." Zhou Rui was so scared she could hardly speak.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here," Lin Chuan said with a smile.
"I... I'm so scared!" Zhou Rui burst into tears.
"Let's go quickly!" Lin Chuan hurriedly picked up Zhou Rui, guessing that at this point she had lost the strength to walk.
As soon as they left the building, more than a dozen armed men quickly chased them out.
Lin Chuan didn't dare to linger, sprinting toward the streets of Headless Town with Zhou Rui in his arms, while more than a dozen armed men were already swarming behind them. The street suddenly became extra lively because of this incident.
"Chase them, don't let them get away."
More than ten people frantically pursued, as Lin Chuan carried Zhou Rui and darted into an alleyway, quickly hiding inside a dark house. This house was pitch-dark and appeared to be an abandoned dwelling. Lin Chuan, holding Zhou Rui, hid inside, crouching with his back against the foot of the wall, not daring to breathe loudly, his ears tuned to the messy footsteps outside.
"Lin Chuan, we... we won't die, right?" Zhou Rui was somewhat terrified; she feared death, even more the thought of dying in a foreign land, possibly without a complete corpse. If they encountered someone with necrophilia, her fate would be even more tragic.
With this thought, Zhou Rui's face turned even paler.
"Don't worry, I'll get us out of here," Lin Chuan reassured.
"Really?" Zhou Rui asked fearfully.
"Don't be afraid." Lin Chuan held Zhou Rui and gently kissed her forehead, saying, "We're going to be all right."
Zhou Rui clung tightly to Lin Chuan's neck; at this moment, all she was concerned about was whether she could survive and escape from here. She didn't dare contemplate anything else. Throughout their ordeal, she had witnessed an extreme world, especially after entering Headless Town, where nearly everyone had a gun, heightening her fears.
"Search inside." Outside the door, someone yelled.
Clang...
The door was kicked open with a single foot.
Lin Chuan was holding Zhou Rui, hiding among the flowers and plants in the yard. As the door was kicked open, two armed men walked in, their hats adorned with glaring flashlights that were frighteningly bright. The light shone intensely wherever they pointed. A few people entered and walked towards the house.
Lin Chuan, holding Zhou Rui, quietly moved towards the entrance of the yard, and seizing a moment when they were not paying attention, he dashed out swiftly.
Unexpectedly, the last figure was spotted by the guy guarding the door, who hastily shouted: "They're here, over here!"
Hearing that, the two armed men in the house turned and gave chase.
Exposed once again, Lin Chuan was somewhat annoyed; he clenched his teeth and ran at full speed.
"Lin Chuan, put me down!" Zhou Rui quickly said: "With me, you can't outrun them."
"No way," Lin Chuan shook his head and said: "I came here to rescue you. It was not easy to save you, how could I give up now?"
"But this way, we'll both die!" Zhou Rui choked up.
"Don't worry, we won't die, we will definitely leave this place," Lin Chuan said, trying to muster a smile.
The muscles in his legs continued to burst forth, now feeling somewhat swollen. If Lin Chuan had been alone, even if he ran wildly for ten kilometers, he would definitely not feel this way. However, now Lin Chuan was carrying the weighty Zhou Rui in his arms, a good fifty-plus kilograms. Plus, his continual sprint was clearly overtaxing his muscles.
Whistling sounds came from behind; the pursuers were chasing wildly after him.
Lin Chuan again dove into a dark house.
"Girl, listen to me," Lin Chuan said, panting heavily: "You hide here by yourself; I will draw their attention away. Later, you go look for a room 205 in a hotel called Qingyue. She will take you out of Headless Town."
"No!" Zhou Rui quickly grabbed Lin Chuan's arm, saying: "I want to stay with you."
"Girl, whether we can escape now depends on this moment," Lin Chuan said, holding Zhou Rui's face in his hands: "Trust me, we will definitely get out of here."
"But..." Zhou Rui wanted to say something but didn't dare. She feared it might be her last encounter with Lin Chuan.
Suddenly, Lin Chuan kissed Zhou Rui's lips, saying: "Wait for me to come back."
After speaking, Lin Chuan leaped and began to sprint out the window.
"Over there, hurry after him!"
"Catch him, don't let him get away!"
Outside, a series of hurried footsteps chased in the direction where Lin Chuan had fled. Previously, Lin Chuan couldn't fight back because he was carrying Zhou Rui; now, to attract the enemies away, he still wasn't fighting back. There were only a dozen or so gun-wielding men, Lin Chuan was confident he could take care of them.
Zhou Rui bit her lip as if that kiss was still lingering on her lips. Wiping away tears, she said: "Lin Chuan, I will definitely wait for you to come back, even if my hair turns white with frost, my head silver-haired!"
After speaking, Zhou Rui got up and left the dark wooden cabin.
......
At the foot of Headless Mountain, there was a mountain villa.
A man with a beard, dark skin, and an AK47 over his shoulder, its paint chipped and the wooden butt worn, hurriedly entered the villa.
"Brother Wolf, Brother Wolf, bad news," the bearded man exclaimed, gasping for breath.
In a courtyard, dozens of men with guns were watching a middle-aged brute performing a spectacular show on a mountain motorcycle. Suddenly hearing the shout, he immediately stopped, his appearance fierce and imposing.
Square-faced, with thick eyebrows, his face exuded a murderous aura, and due to the rigorous performance, he was drenched in sweat.
"Old Wu, what's happened?" The middle-aged man glanced at him.
"Boss, Old Two has had an accident," the bearded man said, out of breath: "In Headless Town, he was killed."
"What?!" The middle-aged man was stunned: "Who the hell dares to kill my brother?"
"Remember that robbery we had back home last time?" The bearded man hastily recounted the cause and effect, then urgently said: "Old Two always had a strong sense of loyalty, and with Old Three and a few brothers dead, he wouldn't let it rest. So..."
"Damn it," the middle-aged man cursed upon hearing this: "Old Wu, gather the troops."
"Yes, boss!" The bearded man immediately nodded in agreement.
Just as the bearded man was about to leave, he immediately turned back and said: "Boss, should we tell Black Bear about this?"
"No need!" The middle-aged man shook his head: "This is our business."
"But, this... this is Black Bear's turf," the bearded man said awkwardly.
"Don't worry about that now, gather the troops and encircle Lin Chuan," the middle-aged man roared: "Whoever kills my brother, I shall kill them."
"Yes!" The bearded man immediately nodded.
......
Lin Chuan rushed out of Headless Town in one breath.
