"Guo, you should have heard. Before I got out of the car, I asked sister Su Shiyun to call Boss Wuming."
Facing all this, Qin Xiaozhi still did not feel panicked. His body did not even stiffen, but with great relaxation, he raised his right hand and showed the watch on his wrist.
"This watch of mine is a satellite phone. My boss can locate me and find this place through it.
If I die, even if you escape, he can find out everything – you and the people behind you will all be buried with me!"
"Heh... Qin family's discarded son, you still want to scare us at this point? We are not afraid of the Qin family's revenge, why would we be afraid of your boss?"
Qiao Lin grinned sinisterly, completely unconcerned about Qin Xiaozhi's threat.
"The Qin family will not violate the regulations of the Martial Department for me, but my boss will avenge me without any rules to restrain him!" Qin Xiaozhi said coldly.
"Who is your boss?"
This time, before Qiao Lin could speak, Guo Lu frowned. He had indeed heard Qin Xiaozhi's instructions to Su Shiyun.
"The Hall Master of the War Dragon Hall, the Ghost-Faced War God!"
Qin Xiaozhi uttered each word, his voice resounding clearly throughout the villa hall.
"Uh..."
In an instant, Qiao Lin, Wu Guang, and Guo Lu were all stunned.
Because they had all heard of the War Dragon Hall, and even more so, the great name of the Ghost-Faced War God!
"Hahaha... why don't you say your boss is the Marshal of the Dragon Country Martial Department, Qi Wufu?"
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Qiao Lin burst into mocking laughter, as if he had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world.
Not only Qiao Lin, but Guo Lu and Wu Guang also did not believe it.
Because of their brilliant achievements in the past four years, the War Dragon Hall was renowned in the global underworld, and the Ghost-Faced War God had become a god of death that many underground forces feared!
How could Qin Xiaozhi, a discarded son of the Qin family, be related to the War Dragon Hall?
How could the Ghost-Faced War God appear in the Dragon Country?
"How about we make a bet? If the Ghost-Faced War God doesn't show up within half an hour, you don't have to do anything, I'll take my own life?"
Qin Xiaozhi also said sarcastically, "Do you dare?"
"Bang—"
A muffled thud responded to Qin Xiaozhi.
Qiao Lin grinned and swung his leg, kicking Qin Xiaozhi in the face.
"Crack!"
Qin Xiaozhi's nasal bone snapped, and hot blood instantly gushed out, staining his face red.
The intense pain made his head dizzy, but his face still showed no panic or fear. Instead, his brain was still rapidly working, thinking of any way to stall for time.
Yes.
From the moment he started speaking until now, he had not thought of scaring Qiao Lin, Guo Lu, and the others. He just wanted to delay for as long as possible, and then wait for Jiang Wuming to appear.
"Qin family's discarded son, stop playing these tricks! Do you know how much I did to bring down the Su family?"
Just as Qin Xiaozhi was racking his brain, Qiao Lin squatted down, grabbed Qin Xiaozhi's hair, lifted his head, and said with a ferocious expression:
"First, I had someone tamper with the raw materials supplied by a pharmaceutical company to the Su Group, which caused that pharmaceutical company to have an accident, implicating the Su Group.
Then, using this as an excuse, I used my connections to pressure other pharmaceutical companies that cooperated with the Su Group to terminate their cooperation with the Su Group and sue the Su Group!
Finally, I lured Su Le of the Su family to lose twenty billion in the casino, delivering the final blow to the Su Group and the Su family!
As a result, just as I was about to secretly acquire the Su Group, that bitch Su Shiyun appeared. With your help, she reversed the decline of the Su Group, not only stabilized the stock price but also cooperated with Long Teng Pharmaceutical!
You have wasted all my previous efforts!
Tonight, I not only want to kill you, but I also want to continue looking for that bitch Su Shiyun – when I find her, I will make her kneel before me and beg for a life worse than death!"
By the end of his speech, Qiao Lin had completely erupted in rage, his facial muscles completely contorted. He raised his dagger again, intending to cut off Qin Xiaozhi's head directly.
Looking at the flashing dagger, feeling Qiao Lin's chilling murderous intent, Qin Xiaozhi's face still showed no trace of fear, only regret.
He could see that Qiao Lin had completely lost control and could no longer be stopped by any words.
At this moment, images of him following Jiang Wuming on various campaigns after joining the War Dragon Hall flashed through his mind.
"Boss, I really want to continue following your footsteps and develop the War Dragon Hall into the world's top force. Then, I can return to the Qin family with my head held high and make the entire Qin family proud of me!"
As the images flashed by, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart, and then he thought of Qin Yuanzheng and Qin Linhai.
"Grandpa, Dad, I know you both want me to inherit the Qin family's martial arts and become a pillar of the Dragon Country Martial Department like you. But my martial arts talent is limited. Even if I practice martial arts with all my might, I can't achieve what you expect. I can't even save my comrades, and can only watch them get killed.
I'm sorry, I've disappointed you.
If there is a next life, I hope I can still be a member of the Qin family, but no longer a waste, and no longer disappoint you."
Qin Xiaozhi said his farewells to Jiang Wuming, Qin Yuanzheng, and Qin Linhai in his heart, and then closed his eyes slightly as he saw Qiao Lin swing the dagger towards him.
However—
Even with his myriad regrets and unwillingness, he could not break free from Guo Lu's grasp or dodge Qiao Lin's attack!
"Boss, a car is coming, driving very fast, it looks like an enemy attack!"
The next moment, just as Qiao Lin swung his dagger to strike Qin Xiaozhi's neck, a voice suddenly rang out in the quiet villa hall.
The voice came from the walkie-talkie in Wu Guang's hand.
The speaker was one of Wu Guang's capable subordinates, the leader of the ten men outside the villa.
Shua!
Upon hearing this voice, Qin Xiaozhi suddenly opened his eyes, looking at the dagger that was about to strike him, a playful smile suddenly appeared on his face.
That smile seemed to be telling Qiao Lin, Guo Lu, and Wu Guang that they were all about to be buried with him!
En?
Seeing the smile on Qin Xiaozhi's face, Guo Lu suddenly felt an inexplicable unease. He immediately pulled Qin Xiaozhi backward.
"Clang!!"
At the same time, the dagger in Qiao Lin's hand struck the floor, cracking the floor tiles and sending sparks flying.
"Uncle Guo, what are you doing??"
Qiao Lin glared at Guo Lu, his face a mixture of shock and anger.
"Young Master Qiao, Boss Wu's subordinate reported that someone is coming. I suggest we don't kill him in a hurry. If the person coming is very strong, we can use him as a hostage."
Guo Lu responded, stating his reason for stopping Qiao Lin from killing Qin Xiaozhi.
"Alright... alright!"
Qiao Lin felt that it made some sense upon hearing this, then turned to Wu Guang and said, "Boss Wu, have your men stop him, and simultaneously turn on the surveillance so Uncle Guo can assess the newcomer's strength!"
"Yes, Young Master Qiao!"
Wu Guang responded to Qiao Lin immediately, then relayed Qiao Lin's order to his subordinate, "Stop him, don't let him enter the villa!"
"Yes, Boss!"
The leader of the big men's voice immediately came from the walkie-talkie.
Concurrently, as Qiao Lin instructed, Wu Guang turned on the large embedded screen in the living room and connected it to the villa's surveillance.
This way, whether it was Qiao Lin, Guo Lu, Wu Guang, or Qin Xiaozhi, they could all see the situation at the villa entrance through the surveillance.
Under their gaze, a car, like a rampaging steel beast, roared towards the villa.
Wu Guang's dozen or so subordinates were all gathered on both sides of the villa entrance, holding guns and aiming at the speeding car.
"Fire!"
When the car was only twenty meters away from the villa, the leader of the men outside the villa directly gave the order.
"Bang bang bang..."
Instantly, the sound of gunfire erupted.
Bullets shot out of the gun barrels one after another, whistling towards the speeding car. They instantly shattered the car's windshield and then hit Jiang Wuming, but they did not cause him any harm. Instead, they were all repelled by Jiang Wuming's protective qi.
Only one bullet was an exception.
That bullet mysteriously stopped about one centimeter away from Jiang Wuming, unable to move forward even a fraction.
"Wh-what's going on??"
Looking at the strange scene ahead, the dozen or so gunmen at the villa entrance were greatly shocked, and simultaneously felt a chill creeping up their scalps!
Although they had vaguely heard that in this world, some powerful martial artists were immune to blades and guns and could not be killed by firearms, they had never heard of someone being able to stop bullets in mid-air.
Whoosh!
The response they received was the sound of something breaking through the air.
Under the night sky, the bullet that had strangely stopped in front of Jiang Wuming's forehead suddenly turned, whistling and piercing the head of the leading man.
"Pfft—"
Under the night sky, the leader's head split open, blood splashing out like blossoming flowers, dazzlingly brilliant.
Just as Qin Xiaozhi was about to be sent to the underworld, Jiang Wuming arrived.
The slaughter begins!
