Tan Shaojie's hands rested lightly on the steering wheel, yet his gaze was fixed on the expressionless Bao Xiong, "Brother, against them, how fast can you get it done?"

With a dismissive cold sweep of the approaching bodyguards, Bao Xiong let out a cold snort without wasting any words, "Five men, five seconds!"

As soon as the words fell, Bao Xiong's entire demeanor transformed into that of a raging, furious bear, charging out with a roar.

The five bodyguards pouncing towards Bao Xiong were clearly top-notch experts, all swift and agile, each armed with rubber clubs or daggers.

Normally, with their overwhelming advantage in numbers, victory should have been in their grasp.

However, regretfully, their opponent this time was the murderous and violent assassin Bao Xiong!

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The three leading bodyguards charged forward, their daggers slicing through the air, aiming straight for Bao Xiong's head.

"Die!"

Bao Xiong growled from deep in his throat, like a vengeful spirit, his iron fist packed with explosive force akin to a splitting bomb, swiftly delivering three punches.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

All three punches, without any restraint, struck the chests of the three bodyguards, instantly sending them flying like sandbags, spurting out blood.

Bao Xiong was a master of Body Tempering Realm; the explosive power of those three punches could have killed three wild bulls. No matter how formidable the bodyguards' defenses were, after those punches, survival was unlikely.

"Three seconds left!"

Bao Xiong calculated that the three punches had taken only two seconds and, with a roaring bellow, didn't stop for a moment as he continued to launch his fists at the remaining two bodyguards.

These two bodyguards were far less skilled than the first three, and having seen their companions killed by this brute in a single move, they were already paralyzed with fear. Without any hesitation, they turned and ran.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Yet, Bao Xiong had only given them three seconds to run. They had not even taken half a step before Bao Xiong's fists reached them, shattering their hearts on impact.

Ah!

Lin Zhengnan had never witnessed such a shocking murder scene and stood frozen on the spot, unable to utter a single word.

"Four seconds and eighteen, brother, it seems your speed has improved quite a bit!"

After seeing Bao Xiong kill four men and walking towards him, Tan Shaojie glanced at his watch and gave Bao Xiong a gesture of approval.

Bao Xiong nodded silently, then turned his menacing gaze towards Lin Zhengnan, who had already been scared stiff, "Tan Shao, what should we do with this guy?"

"Kill him!" Tan Shaojie's face still wore a smile, yet his reply was chilling as though it came from an icy abyss.

"No, please!"

As Bao Xiong stepped closer, Lin Zhengnan was struck with terror, crying out desperately to Tan Shaojie, "I've already lent you the plane, why do you still want to kill me?"

"Heh, President Lin, didn't you hear what I said when I came here?"

The smile on Tan Shaojie's face remained unfaded, "I said I came here to borrow two things from you. One is the helicopter, the other... is your life!"

Ah!

Upon hearing such a terrifying response, Lin Zhengnan's legs gave out, and he collapsed to the ground.

"President Lin, you can't blame us for being ruthless. If you're to blame anyone, blame your brother Du Kongting for blocking his path to wealth. He wants to replace you, so you must die!"

Tan Shaojie laughed with smug complacency and gestured for Bao Xiong to clean up quickly.

Du Kongting!

Upon hearing this name, Lin Zhengnan felt as though his entire being had plunged into an abyss of icy caverns...

Although he had been carefully guarding against Du Kongting for the past few days according to Ling Zhenfei's instructions, he hadn't expected that this treacherous little man would still find a loophole to exploit.

...

At eight o'clock sharp, after breakfast with Han Lian, Ling Zhenfei and a dozen fully armed special police officers drove four off-road vehicles, escorting Kun Ze Haosan and Chi Hu to the Provincial City.

The route they took was specially cleared by the police, with checkpoints at all entries and exits. The officers carefully screened each passing vehicle, leaving no opportunity for adversaries to intercept en route.

To ensure safety, Ling Zhenfei rode in the vehicle escorting Kun Ze Haosan, leading the way. Han Lian, on the other hand, took up the rear, escorting Chi Hu in the last vehicle.

The distance between Binyang and the Provincial City Jinling was only a few dozen kilometers, all highway, and moreover, the section was temporarily closed, making the likelihood of mishaps very small.

Three young special police officers accompanied Ling Zhenfei in his vehicle, all around the same age as him.

Despite everyone being well aware of the extreme danger of the mission, the three young faces all showed a resolve to forge ahead without a trace of fear.

"Ling Zhenfei, what's the situation up front?"

Each member of the escort team was equipped with a walkie-talkie. As Ling Zhenfei was carefully observing the surroundings, he heard Han Lian's voice coming through the device.

"All normal, haven't spotted anything suspicious yet!"

Ling Zhenfei had already surveyed the surroundings of the highway with his Perspective Eye and found no signs of anything suspicious.

"Hmm, there's nothing unusual on my end either! But we still need to stay alert; we still have thirty kilometers to go before reaching the Provincial City, and we can't afford any slack..."

Before she could finish her report to Ling Zhenfei, a "buzz buzz buzz" sound suddenly erupted from the walkie-talkie.

"What's that noise?"

With everyone's emotions already on high alert, this discordant noise made Ling Zhenfei's mind and spirit tremble, sensing something amiss.

The sudden buzzing sound immediately put all the special police in the four vehicles on alert. Someone looked out the window and shouted loudly, "Look, there's a helicopter above us!"

A helicopter?

At this alarming shout, everyone was taken aback. Looking up, sure enough, they saw a helicopter circling down from high above.

This is...

"Watch out, everyone! The robbers are here!"

As everyone was caught somewhat off guard by this abrupt situation, Ling Zhenfei activated his Perspective Eye and saw that a massive Gatling rapid-fire gun was mounted at the helicopter door. His heart pounded wildly as he urgently warned the others.

Ratatatat!

However, Ling Zhenfei's warning came a half-step too late. As soon as his voice faded, the helicopter overhead, like an enraged hawk, spat terrifying tongues of fire from its bullets as they rained down in a furious sweep over the vehicles below.

One should know that the Gatling rapid-fire gun, known as "Death's Fury" within the gun family, is a super weapon. Though the helicopter only wielded an old model of the aviation machine gun, its caliber was not small; it could fire three thousand bullets per minute simultaneously.

Ratatatat...

The howling bullets fell like a sudden, violent rainstorm, crazily pouring down. The bullets punctured the tires, and even the bulletproof glass was shattered to pieces. If not for the fact that these four vehicles were specially made with thick steel plates, they might have been completely destroyed.

Everybody had previously been cautious of attacks from the roads, but this wave of strafing from the sky caught everyone off guard.
