Lin Chuan's attack hadn't finished, yet the opponent, enduring the pain, continued to attack, thinking Lin Chuan couldn't possibly dodge this time. Unexpectedly, Lin Chuan raised his elbow, and the aluminum baseball bat in his hand immediately blocked the blade's edge, sending sparks flying everywhere.

"Hmph!" Lin Chuan snorted coldly and kicked fiercely at his opponent.

The kick hit its target perfectly.

Thump...

Xiao Hei, towering at 1.9 meters, was sent rolling away, flipping head over heels.

Lin Chuan didn't immediately pursue to finish him off but waited for his adversary to get back up. The best way to defeat an opponent is to break them psychologically. Lin Chuan intended to use this method to defeat Xiao Hei. At this moment, a man in a black short-sleeved shirt, who had ignored Xiao Hei's previous restraints, charged up rapidly. His Tang knife spun through the air mid-charge, with incredible speed. Lin Chuan slightly lifted the baseball bat in his hand, blocked the Tang knife, and with the swiftness of lightning, snatched the Tang knife from the man's hand.

"You!" The man in the short sleeves was stunned.

"Let me tell you, that's not how you play with a Tang knife," Lin Chuan said with a grin.

Having said that, Lin Chuan, holding the Tang knife, swept towards his opponent rapidly. The man kept moving back, but sadly, his speed was no match for Lin Chuan's. Just as he was about to turn and run, suddenly, the Tang knife was at his neck.

"I advise you not to move, or I will make sure you have no place to be buried," Lin Chuan sneered.

"You!" The man was dumbfounded, grinding his teeth as he said, "If you have the guts, kill me."

"Of course, I won't kill you," Lin Chuan said with a smile: "I have no grudges against you, why would I kill you? If I were to kill anyone, it would be Qin Dalei, not you lackeys."

"Die!" Suddenly, Xiao Hei charged furiously.

The Japanese sword in his hand was about to cleave down on Lin Chuan's head when Lin Chuan, with a tip of his left foot on the ground, swung his right hand backward swiftly, and the sharp Tang knife quickly slid across the attacker's abdomen.

Rip...

A tearing sound as the blade swiftly ripped open a wound on the man's abdomen. It was as if a pregnant woman undergoing Caesarean section was sliced open, revealing a grisly wound. That cut made Xiao Hei instantly feel an icy piercing pain.

Xiao Hei staggered back two steps, touched his stomach with his hand, and felt a wet sensation. Under the light, he took a few sharp intakes of breath. His abdomen had been sliced open by the opponent.

"Heh heh..." Lin Chuan revealed a weird smile and said, "You've already lost!"

"No, I haven't lost!" Xiao Hei exploded in anger. This was the first time in his life he felt his dignity was provoked, so he decided to seek revenge on Lin Chuan. Enraged and driven mad, he gritted his teeth with unbearable anger. Completely disregarding the pain from the gash in his abdomen, he grabbed the Japanese sword and continued attacking Lin Chuan.

This time, Xiao Hei unleashed two hundred percent of his strength. A tremendous force surged towards Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan was not afraid at all; as long as he grasped the opponent's attack patterns, there was basically nothing to worry about. Lin Chuan easily dodged the attack, lifting his leg, and kicked viciously at the wound on the opponent's abdomen.

"Ah!" The pain was more than just multiplied; it was millions of times worse. Even a steel-hardened man like Xiao Hei couldn't help but scream.

Lin Chuan charged forward swiftly, his Tang knife slicing multiple times across the opponent's body; however, each cut avoided vital spots, merely creating slashes. Despite numerous injuries, Xiao Hei still forced himself up, blood oozing all over him, his face deathly pale, the cut on his abdomen might not be fatal, yet the relentless bleeding meant he would eventually die from blood loss. Nonetheless, he disregarded it all, for to a warrior, honor is above everything else.

To die standing, never to live on one's knees.

"Kill!" Xiao Hei roared.

Lin Chuan sprung forward like a bolt of lightning towards him. Lin Chuan's speed was almost unbelievable. The man in the black short-sleeved shirt stared wide-eyed. Xiao Hei squinted, gripping the Japanese sword, launching several attacks in swift succession.

Clang clang...

After several clashes, Xiao Hei felt his arms tingling with electric-like pain and numbness. Both men felt excruciating pain, and after the flurry of attacks, Lin Chuan landed swiftly. His palm must have been red hot, he clenched his teeth, sneered and said, "If you keep this up, you're likely to die right here."

"Don't you want to kill me?" Xiao Hei asked coldly.

"Of course, I don't want to kill you!" Lin Chuan shook his head and said, "Killing you brings me no benefit. If I have to kill, it must be the mastermind behind you, not you two dogs."

Xiao Hei narrowed his eyes, knowing he was no match for Lin Chuan. Continuing this struggle would likely cost him his life. So, he gave Lin Chuan a deep look and then said, "Let's go."

After speaking, Xiao Hei, clutching his stomach, quickly disappeared into the darkness. The man in the black short-sleeved shirt also rapidly left the entrance of Changlin Factory.

Qin Han Restaurant.

A man in a black suit entered Qin Dalei's office.

"Mr. Qin, Xiao Hei and the others have returned," the man in the suit said with a somber and grave expression.

"Haha, they're back?" Upon hearing this, Qin Dalei immediately overjoyed, and said, "That's great, Lin Chuan is finally dealt with. Let's go, we'll open a couple of bottles of wine to celebrate."

Just as Qin Dalei was preparing to stand up, the man in the suit said with an embarrassed look, "Mr. Qin, the mission failed, Xiao Hei slipped up."

"What?!" As soon as Qin Dalei heard it, he was struck as if by a thunderclap.

"Yes!" The man in the suit nodded and said, "The two of them are waiting for you in the conference room right now, and, it seems that Xiao Hei has sustained serious injuries."

"Let's go take a look." After speaking, Qin Dalei immediately got up and walked towards the conference room.

Inside the conference room, Xiao Hei was covered in blood, with a pool of blood already formed under his feet.

"What... what happened here?" Qin Dalei was shocked as he looked at the two men, feeling completely caught off guard. It was almost like seeing a ghost. In Qin Dalei's mind, Xiao Hei was invincible, anybody he wanted to deal with was as good as dead. Yet, this time, he was just dealing with someone like Lin Chuan and ended up in such a state? This made Qin Dalei feel something was odd and eerie.

"Big brother, I'm sorry!" Xiao Hei said through clenched teeth, "I'm not as skilled, I am willing to atone with my death."

"Nonsense!" Qin Dalei roared angrily, "What use is your death to me? I don't want you dead; I want Lin Chuan dead, do you understand?"

"I understand." Xiao Hei nodded and said, "The adversary's strength surpasses mine, I'm afraid..."

"What?!" Qin Dalei exclaimed in shock, "This Lin Chuan's strength is greater than yours? How is that possible?"

"Indeed it is." Xiao Hei said through clenched teeth, "He's a notch above me. Thus, I am not his match."

"How can this be?!" Qin Dalei was almost in disbelief. With Xiao Hei's capabilities, he was not a match for that guy? It was something he found hard to believe. He hastily asked, "Then what would it take to kill this kid?"

"Only by using firearms." Xiao Hei took a deep breath and said, "Moreover, a sniper rifle would be needed, lying in ambush from the shadows, then an assassination attempt. Only this way, there would be a chance."

"Fine." Qin Dalei gritted his teeth and said, "Since we must kill, then let's thoroughly eliminate this kid. If even you are not his match, then keeping this guy is definitely a menace. Arrange for a sniper rifle tomorrow; Lin Chuan must be killed."

Xiao Hei nodded, then said, "If Mr. Qin wants this man dead, this is the only way."

"Hmm." Qin Dalei nodded his head, puffing on a cigar. His eyes squinted and a murderous aura spread from his gaze.

Xiao Hei also felt the murderous intent in Qin Dalei's eyes, who then said, "First go take care of your wounds, don't bleed out here."

"Yes!" Xiao Hei nodded.

After Xiao Hei left, the man in the suit entered and said, "Boss, are you really going to kill Lin Chuan?"

"Yes!" Qin Dalei nodded.

"Actually..." The man in the suit said with an awkward smile, "I have a proposal."

"What proposal?" Qin Dalei frowned.

"I think, instead of killing Lin Chuan, it would be better to win him over," the man in the suit said earnestly. "Xiao Hei's strength alone provides you with an extra arm, and if we could add Lin Chuan, wouldn't that give you an extra pair of arms? If Lin Chuan and Xiao Hei fought side by side, I believe no one could withstand them. This would definitely be a tremendous boon for your strategic expansion in Africa. What do you think?"
