"There are guns, fall back."
Ye Zixiao waved his hand at those behind him.
To be blunt, on the battlefield of the Qin family, Ye Zixiao was absolutely invincible, but he wasn't an immortal, and he feared bullets. Rushing in head-on was out of the question; a different strategy was needed.
"Retreat!"
"Stop pushing, everyone get down."
"Quick, quick, quick..."
Moli and Old Vine, Lin Qingzhu and Lin Feng, had all heard the gunshots and, worried that people on the third floor would charge out and start firing wildly, immediately ordered their teams to fall back.
The vast villa was filled with people. Ye Zixiao thought for a moment and had everyone in the house evacuate, including himself. After all, they had already won, and the Qin family's leaders wouldn't escape.
Soon.
The first and second floors of the villa were empty.
Only bodies littered the ground.
The entire villa was surrounded by the victorious Lin family members. The Qin and Ma families had either died or fled, and the remaining ones, without exception, were on their knees surrendering.
"Wife, are you alright?"
Ye Zixiao asked casually.
"I'm fine. Those who attacked me weren't strong. But you, you were too reckless. Even if you're invincible, you need to be careful. If something happened to you..."
"What, worried about me?"
"Of course, you're helping the Lin family!"
"How am I as a son-in-law?"
"Mm!"
Lin Qingzhu responded, then turned and walked away. As the person in charge of the Lin family, the battle was basically won, and she needed to console the wounded and direct the evacuation of the dead and injured.
This battle.
The Lin family suffered very few losses.
Few had died, and not many were injured.
The reason for such minimal casualties was mainly Ye Zixiao. He alone had terrified over a thousand enemies into submission. Coupled with Moli and Old Vine, victory was practically assured from the start.
The Lin family members were all at ease.
Because their opponents weren't fighting for their lives.
Less than three minutes after the fighting stopped, the sound of approaching sirens grew louder. Over twenty police cars pulled up outside the blood-soaked gates of the Qin family residence, and a large number of police officers jumped out.
The situation was familiar.
It was the same as the last time the Lin family was attacked.
Leading the charge was Deputy Chief Zhao Hong, but this time there were many more officers, all heavily armed, suggesting they had been prepared to arrest people for a while.
"Freeze, get down."
"Anyone who moves, I'll shoot."
"Damn it, no noise."
Squads of police officers rushed forward, raising their guns.
"What are you doing?"
"Are police officers that great?"
"This is a battle between martial artists, is it any of your business?"
"It was the Qin family who fired first."
The Lin family's fighters, having won, faced them with confidence. They knew Zhao Hong was in league with Qin Hanshan, but they weren't afraid, not believing the police would start shooting indiscriminately.
The two sides began to shout at each other.
The situation quickly spiraled out of control.
"Follow me, don't be afraid!"
Without any order from Ye Zixiao or Lin Qingzhu, Lin Bin led his men to charge the security forces. There were less than a hundred police officers, and the Lin family had over a thousand men. If the police didn't fire, the Lin family wasn't afraid.
Soon, some police officers were taken down.
Gunfire erupted!
Without definitive orders, the police officers only dared to fire into the air. They also didn't dare to kill indiscriminately, because the Lin family now was not what it used to be; the Lin family had the Asura Gate behind them.
Another series of loud horns blared.
Over twenty military vehicles charged forward.
After the convoy stopped, rows of regular soldiers in uniform, under the command of Division Commander Ge, quickly surrounded the Qin family villa. A special forces team rushed forward with their weapons raised.
The Lin family fighters weren't afraid of the security forces.
But soldiers were a different matter.
In the Dragon Country, in wars between strong forces, as long as ordinary citizens weren't harmed, the security forces might or might not intervene. But the army was different; their privileges were vast!
Attacking the army.
Would be classified as a riot.
"Old Zhao, what's the situation?"
"Division Commander Ge, the Lin family is not convinced!"
"If they're not convinced, blast them!"
Division Commander Ge, a burly man, walked forward cursing. He was on the same side as Zhao Hong. To protect their benefactor, the Qin family, they were truly prepared to open fire.
"Everyone fall back!"
Ye Zixiao stepped forward and shouted.
The security forces were ineffective, but Ye Zixiao was very effective. At his command, the thousand Lin family fighters began to retreat in an orderly fashion, instantly creating distance between themselves and the police and soldiers.
"Director Zhao, Division Commander Ge, what do you mean by this? You did nothing when the Lin family was being attacked, but now that the Lin family has won, you've brought the army? Are you bullying us?"
Ye Zixiao walked forward with his neck cocked.
"Ye Zixiao, you're really something!"
"We are bullying you, so what?"
Zhao Hong was relatively tactful, but Division Commander Ge admitted it directly. To senior officers of the regular army, a hothead like Ye Zixiao was nothing under the muzzle of a gun.
"Alright, you guys are tough!"
Ye Zixiao smiled indifferently and said, "We killed the people, we won the fight, and just when we were about to finish, you showed up. It seems Qin Hanshan paid you a lot of money!"
"Shut your mouth, damn it."
"Little brat, who are you talking to?"
"Someone, arrest him."
"Keep talking, and I'll shoot you."
Seeing that Ye Zixiao was still defiant, Zhao Hong and Division Commander Ge were enraged. With the situation as it was, they no longer cared about Jiang Xiaoyao's face. Both high-ranking officers drew their sidearms.
"Zixiao, calm down."
Lin Qingzhu rushed over anxiously.
She wasn't cowardly or weak; on the contrary, she was very rational. If they truly angered the soldiers, they might actually open fire. If Ye Zixiao died, what would be the point of winning?
"Wife, don't worry!"
Ye Zixiao pushed Lin Qingzhu away.
"You, dare to kill me?"
Ye Zixiao stared at Zhao Hong at close range.
"I..."
Zhao Hong raised his gun but didn't dare to fire.
"You, dare to kill me?"
Ye Zixiao then turned and provocatively challenged Division Commander Ge.
"Are you threatening me?"
Division Commander Ge also raised his pistol.
"Yes, I am threatening you. Think about it, how was the Black Tiger Hall wiped out? If you kill me, will you and your families survive?"
Ye Zixiao began to show off again.
Zhao Hong froze.
Division Commander Ge also gasped.
The Black Tiger Hall had over three thousand people, and they were all wiped out overnight, demonstrating the terrifying combat power of the Lone Wolf Legion. Even the regular army was not feared by them.
Although Zhao Hong and Division Commander Ge were unwilling to believe that Ye Zixiao had hired the Lone Wolf Legion, it was impossible to say that he had no connection to it.
"Damn, already scared?"
Ye Zixiao smiled slightly, putting his hands behind his back, and said, "Such a deputy chief, and a division commander, actually acting as thugs for a black and evil family like the Qin family, aren't you ashamed?"
"What did you say?"
"I'll shoot you, damn it."
The two senior officers were enraged once more.
"Stop bragging!"
Ye Zixiao raised his head, first facing Zhao Hong, and said sarcastically, "You dog, don't think I don't know that you were also involved in the people trafficked by the Black Tiger Hall."
Before he finished speaking.
Ye Zixiao suddenly acted.
His left hand, which had been behind his back, suddenly grabbed Zhao Hong's wrist, and his right hand directly snatched the pistol. Without any hesitation or pause, he pulled the trigger directly at Zhao Hong's forehead.
Bang!
The gun fired!
The bullet pierced Zhao Hong's head.
Thump!
Zhao Hong, with his eyes wide open, fell backward.
This second-in-command of the North Sea City Police Department knew Ye Zixiao was insane, but he never would have dreamed that this guy was crazy enough to shoot him?
"You don't dare to kill me, but I dare to kill you."
Ye Zixiao was extremely calm. He looked down at the still twitching Zhao Hong, curled his lips into a smile, and said, "For a scumbag like you, worse than an animal, I will eliminate you on behalf of the citizens of North Sea City."
Bang, bang, bang...
Ye Zixiao fiercely pulled the trigger!
