I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

Just as the two sides were about to clash again, Zhang Xu suddenly appeared with his men.

Zhuang Yan laughed, "They even had a backup plan! We're all finished!"

However, he was stunned the next second.

Zhang Xu attacked anyone he saw, and in just a few moves, he sent all the people confronting Xuan'an Bureau flying.

Are they not in cahoots?

Zhuang Yan laughed even louder, "What a perfect example of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!"

Then he was also knocked away, as were the other members of the Xuan'an Bureau.

They were already at their last gasp and were completely unable to resist Zhang Xu and his men.

These newly appeared people are not the same group as those they fought before, nor are they the same group as the large number of people who appeared earlier. They have only temporarily formed an alliance to deal with them.

The Xuan'an Bureau has truly done its best to hold on until now.

Zhang Xu and his group were all dressed in black and masked. They didn't care whether Zhuang Yan and the others were alive or dead, and rushed straight into the villa.

Yunxi Residence was originally a gift from Liang Shaohui to Sun Shizheng. Zhang Xu quickly had the entire villa searched and then found the location of the basement.

He kicked the door open, and then gunshots rang out.

Zhang Xu's hair stood on end, and he quickly dodged to the side, but the person behind him was in for a world of hurt.

Fan Linsen held a conventional bullet pistol in his left hand and a pulse pistol in his right, firing both guns simultaneously.

He was highly skilled, wielding two completely different weapons with unparalleled prowess. In a single exchange, three or four of Zhang Xu's men fell.

Fan Linsen did not intend to hold the room. He took the initiative to attack, using the narrow corridor to meet the enemy. He fired his two guns alternately, using feints and real attacks, and his movements were cunning.

Zhang Xu never expected that after surviving to the very end, a tough opponent would appear at the last moment, ruining his good fortune. He was both shocked and furious.

It doesn't matter if a few people die, the key is that he's in a hurry!

His companions were even angrier than he was, cursing him in their hearts, "We respected you so much all this time, but you ran away so fast when it really mattered!"

If Zhang Xu had any sense of responsibility, would those people have died?

As Zhang Xu approached, Fan Linsen neither sheathed his gun nor dodged. He fired his pulse gun at point-blank range, and the indigo beam exploded.

Zhang Xu felt a chill run down his spine. As he dodged, he reached out with his right arm and grabbed a companion to shield him from the bullet.

Fan Linsen didn't expect his opponent to be so shameless. Before he could make any move, Zhang Xu's palm was already in front of him.

After Zhang Xu sent Fan Linsen flying with a single palm strike, he immediately turned and rushed into the room. The others quickly followed, and no one even bothered to check whether Fan Linsen was dead or alive.

"Dr. Sun, if you don't want to suffer, come with us!"

Inside the room, Sun Shizheng and the others were gathered together. They seemed relatively calm, but their expressions were all solemn.

Zhang Xu accompanied Liang Shaohui to meet Sun Shizheng, and immediately identified him.

"It's you?" Sun Miaomiao stood in front of her grandfather. She recognized Zhang Xu's voice. "Are you the old man next to Liang Shaohui?"

"You are from the Liang family!"

"Liang Shaohui is truly a wolf in sheep's clothing, ungrateful and treacherous. Has he forgotten how he cured his own cancer?"

Zhang Xu paused for a moment, then smiled smugly, "Little Divine Doctor Sun truly has an excellent memory and keen insight!"

"But I don't have time to reminisce with you now, Dr. Sun. Don't waste my time; there's no point in resisting!"

Sun Shizheng pulled his granddaughter aside. "I'll go with you, but on one condition: don't hurt anyone else. Otherwise, I'd rather die here on the spot. Here's what you want!"

"grandfather!"

"Old Sun!"

Everyone else was getting anxious.

Zhang Xu stepped aside to make way, "Dr. Sun, please!"

Sun Shizheng had just taken his first step when Le Fei stopped him, "Old Sun, you can't go with them!"

"We already know they're from the Liang family; they won't leave any survivors!"

"If I'm not mistaken, the moment you leave with him, he'll have us all killed!"

Her words plunged Sun Shizheng and the others into despair, leaving them with no room for further hope.

Zhang Xu's gaze narrowed slightly, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes, and he struck Le Fei's face with a palm.

At such a speed, Le Fei had no chance to react at all.

Everyone was terrified. If such a fierce palm strike landed, Le Fei would have no chance of surviving!

However, everyone was stunned the next second.

Zhang Xu's hand did not strike Le Fei's face as expected; instead, it broke off at the wrist and flew away.

His face contorted in pain, and without regard for the situation, he launched himself into the air, flying backward, displaying his resourcefulness in valuing his life to the fullest.

An elderly man appeared in the room, dressed in an elegant gray robe, with white hair and beard.

Xiao Xinghe.

Le Fei, still shaken, touched her face and blinked, looking at Xiao Xinghe curiously. "Thank you..."

"Who are you? Where did you come from?"

"Polite children are all adorable." Xiao Xinghe smiled kindly. "My name is Xiao Xinghe. I've always been here; you just didn't notice."

"Qin Ge ordered me to protect you. Anyone who makes a move will be killed!"

"It's pitiful that I'm so old and still have to be bossed around by him. Who can I complain to?"

He turned to Zhang Xu, his kind face instantly turning cold. "Are you going to take your own lives, or are you just going through the motions and have a fight first?"

Qin Ge!?

Sun Shizheng and the others were both surprised and delighted, and then looked at each other in bewilderment.

When did Qin Ge arrange for this person to be here, and when did he arrive at Yunxi Residence? How come they didn't notice at all?

This old man is so amazing, he must have escaped with his life...

The joy of escaping a desperate situation was just as great as the resentment towards Qin Ge in his heart.

Zheng Qiuyi was especially furious in her heart, thinking, "That bastard, no wonder he ran off so confidently!"

Couldn't you have just told me if there were prior arrangements?

Her back was soaked with sweat after facing Zhang Xu and the others, but thankfully her crotch wasn't wet, otherwise she could have simply disappeared after tonight.

However, while the complaints were genuine, the relief was also real. Xiao Xinghe was incredibly reassuring, even more reliable than Qin Ge!

"A sneak attack? What kind of skill is that!"

Zhang Xu stared intently at Xiao Xinghe, poised to strike.

He was just being stubborn. Xiao Xinghe in front of him had no sharp weapons in his hands, so there was only one explanation: his hand had just been severed by Xiao Xinghe's internal energy!

The fact that Xiao Xinghe could wield his inner energy so skillfully, easily severing the wrist of a Heavenly Realm expert, was enough to prove his strength.

This Xiao Xinghe is a Grandmaster!

Zhang Xu had already begun to consider retiring, but he could not show it, much less reveal his weakness.

He was hoping to buy himself time to escape by sacrificing his companions' lives. If he scared them so badly they wet themselves, who would dare to go up?

"This guy is just bluffing. He only injured me by sneaking up on me. Don't be afraid, everyone!"

"I lost an arm due to carelessness, now the only way to defeat him is for us all to work together!"

"Kill him!"

Zhang Xu exuded an imposing aura, inspiring his companions with enthusiasm, while he himself remained motionless.
