Urban: It turns out this is a comprehensive world
Chapter 100 Xiao Chen on the verge of collapse
With two hidden experts of comparable strength easily defeated by Luo Lingtian, the outcome of the battle at Lingtian Manor was no longer in doubt.
Luo Lingtian immediately joined the battle. Facing the two formidable enemies, Qingfeng Daoist and Xuanxu Daoist, who were locked in combat, he made swift and decisive moves.
With the flow of martial arts energy, he dispatched both men in just a few moves.
The three then stepped aside, their eyes scanning the battle between the members of the Temple of Gods and the remaining enemies, without rashly intervening.
He would only intervene to resolve the danger when his subordinates were in life-or-death situations, leaving the opportunity for the Heavenly God Temple members to gain combat experience.
The battle ended in the complete annihilation of the invaders, with many members of the Temple of Gods suffering serious injuries and needing to rest and recuperate for a short period of time.
But this life-or-death battle also became the best whetstone, with many people breaking through their own limits and reaching a new level of strength.
Watching his subordinates methodically clean up the battlefield and carry their seriously wounded comrades away for treatment, Luo Lingtian turned to look at the two Daoist priests, Qingfeng and Xuanxu, beside him.
He said, "I need to go check on Zhao Hao and the others. Would you two Daoist priests like to come along?"
Qingfeng and Xuanxu exchanged a glance and immediately nodded in agreement: "Let's go together, but we two might not necessarily participate."
The two were originally assigned by their superiors to protect Luo Lingtian. Even though Luo Lingtian's strength far surpassed theirs, their mission of protection remained unchanged, so they naturally had to stay by his side at all times to prevent any unexpected situations.
The reason for stating that they might not take action was because they had been instructed not to act rashly except in cases involving assassins from the United States and Japan targeting Luo Lingtian.
Unless Luo Lingtian specifically requests it, all they need to do is ensure Luo Lingtian's safety.
Luo Lingtian didn't know the reason, but he didn't take it to heart. He just nodded slightly, then led the two into a private car and drove away from the messy Lingtian Manor, speeding towards Zhao Hao's villa.
As for Longteng Technology, Luo Lingtian doesn't need to worry about it at all.
The battle over there ended even earlier than at Lingtian Manor. The White Eagle and the Japanese sent most of their experts to assassinate Luo Lingtian.
The personnel who went to attack and steal data from the Longteng Technology Building were of vastly different strengths, not to mention the hired assassins and mercenary organizations that wanted to take advantage of the situation, whose strength was even more vulnerable.
Initially, several waves of attackers took advantage of the chaos to rush into the Longteng Technology Building. Although the building's security system experienced a brief period of disarray, it quickly stabilized.
The security personnel worked together seamlessly, quickly organized a defensive line, and soon reversed the situation, firmly gaining the upper hand.
The intruders were reluctant to retreat because they had a plan: they knew that the mysterious scientist behind Longteng Technology would also be attacked tonight, and they were sure that when the enemy could not withstand the attack, they would send the building's security to provide support, at which point a gap would appear inside the building.
But as they waited and waited, Longteng Technology's security personnel remained steady and composed, without any panic or reassignment. Meanwhile, the number of intruders visibly decreased during the security counterattacks.
By the time they finally realized something was wrong and tried to escape, all the entrances and exits of the Longteng Technology Building had already been completely locked.
In the end, all the attackers who rushed into the building were killed. The assassins and mercenaries who were watching from the outside saw the building's doors reopen, but no one came out. Fear instantly spread in their hearts.
Terrified, they abandoned their mission and fled in a panic. They knew that if they didn't run away now, once the Chinese government had completely taken control of the situation, they would never have another chance to leave.
At the same time that Luo Lingtian's Lingtian Manor and Longteng Technology Building were attacked one after another.
The villa where Mo Yu, Ye Fan, and Zhao Hao were located was also attacked by Dragon King Xiao Chen and the Dragon King Palace.
Xiao Chen brought a large group of more than 30 people, including five innate realm martial artists, five first-class martial artists, and the rest were all second-class martial artists.
There was even the old Dragon King of the Dragon King Palace secretly overseeing things; such a grand display was truly impressive.
Of course, this is not the full strength of the Dragon King Palace. Firstly, the Dragon King Palace headquarters needs manpower to guard it, and secondly, the investigation within the Dragon Kingdom is already extremely strict.
The reason they were able to successfully infiltrate with so many people was because their superiors intentionally allowed it.
Otherwise, most of the people in the Dragon King Palace would have criminal records internationally, making it impossible for them to easily set foot in the Dragon Kingdom.
Xiao Chen, full of vigor and high spirits, led his men to Zhao Hao's villa with great momentum. Even though he vaguely sensed a faint sense of crisis in the air, he didn't take it to heart at all.
He didn't think that with his current lineup, Mo Yu and the others could possibly withstand it.
He raised his hand and waved it sharply, shouting, "Charge in!"
The villa's main gate was a specially made steel gate, incredibly sturdy, but in front of these martial artists, it was as fragile as paper, offering no resistance whatsoever.
The leading first-rate martial artist strode forward and kicked the iron gate hard.
With a loud crash, the heavy steel door burst open, and the joints connecting it to the wall on both sides almost came off.
Then, the Dragon King Palace members stormed into the villa's front yard, ready to meet them.
It was neither a panicked bodyguard nor a fighter ready to die, but a sharp arrow shot straight at them, its blade gleaming with a chilling light.
The arrow tips were coated with deadly poison! The rain of arrows poured down for a full minute without stopping.
When the rain of arrows cleared, most of Xiao Chen's men had been killed or wounded. One of the five top-tier martial artists was dead—the very same martial artist who had kicked down the door and rushed to the front.
He rushed into the front yard and sensed something was wrong, but it was too late to dodge. He barely avoided the first wave of arrows, but was hit by the subsequent arrows. He was riddled with arrows and died a gruesome death.
Zhao Hao and his two men had an extremely precise grasp of the timing of their archery, and they even set up a three-sided encirclement of arrows, waiting for the people from the Dragon King Palace to enter the front yard and crowd together before launching their attack.
By then, many members of the Dragon King's Palace had noticed something amiss, and if they didn't fire soon, they would have to withdraw from the front yard.
Even so, after this ordeal, only a dozen or so of the thirty-odd people Xiao Chen brought with him remained.
Previously, Xiao Chen had stood at the villa entrance, arms crossed, striking a pose like a big shot, looking down at the villa with a disdainful expression.
Watching his men rush in like wolves, he even imagined himself stepping into the villa and seeing Mo Yu, Ye Fan, and Zhao Hao surrounded and attacked by his men, helplessly watching them die, unable to do anything about it.
But the next moment, a continuous rain of arrows suddenly came, and the men who rushed into the front yard fell to the ground one after another, without even a chance to cry out, before they were completely silent.
The smile that was about to spread across Xiao Chen's face froze instantly. He stared blankly at the corpses of his men lying all over the front yard, his mind buzzing, completely dumbfounded.
After a long while, he finally came to his senses, glaring furiously at the corpses scattered on the ground, and roared, "Crossbows! Repeating crossbows! Damn it, Zhao Hao, Mo Yu, and Ye Fan, you three deserve to die! You even dared to poison the arrows! Ah~~!"
Xiao Chen had excellent eyesight and could clearly see the location where his subordinate's corpse had been shot with an arrow. The blood flowing out was not the normal crimson, but rather a strange dark black.
At this moment, he understood why some of his men fell straight to the ground after being hit by just one arrow. It wasn't that they were playing dead to avoid the rain of arrows, but that they were instantly killed by the deadly poison on the arrows!
"Three cowardly rats! How dare you use such despicable and vile methods to trick people? If you have the guts, come out and fight me for real! What kind of cowards are you, hiding your heads and cowering like cowards?!"
Xiao Chen's eyes were bloodshot. He suddenly looked around, his gaze sweeping over the mess and corpses on the ground. His heart felt as if it were being squeezed tightly by an invisible hand.
Apart from the four top-tier protectors guarding him, the other four first-rate martial artists, and the remaining three core members of the Fox Hunting Squad, all the dozens of subordinates he brought with him had fallen into pools of blood, lifeless.
A surge of overwhelming rage exploded from his chest, burning his entire body's meridians with heat. The rage in Xiao Chen's heart almost burst through the top of his head!
Why did he dare to order his men to charge in without hesitation?
It's because he knows perfectly well that guns are strictly prohibited in China, and ordinary people can hardly even get their hands on controlled knives, let alone highly lethal firearms!
Although his men weren't top-tier experts, most of them were first- or second-rate martial arts masters, agile and tough. But no matter how skilled they were, they couldn't possibly ignore a fatal attack from a gun.
But guns are banned in China, so what did he have to worry about? He thought that with the strength of his men, he would be able to crush his opponent and easily win the battle!
But he never expected that those three bastards, Mo Yu, had secretly obtained a repeating crossbow, and the bolts were even coated with deadly poison!
This is utterly despicable; where is even a trace of the demeanor a master should possess?!
He screamed inwardly: One of you is a young master raised by a top family, another is a young master from a famous martial arts family, and the third is an elite from the special forces of the Dragon Kingdom. Each of you is of noble status and outstanding talent, so how come you don't even have a shred of pride?!
Logically, shouldn't you be holding onto your ridiculous arrogance, leading your men to wait patiently in the front yard of the villa for me to come?
Even if you know you are no match for me, even if you will eventually lose to me, you should still be tough and fight me to the death.
Then, with an expression of resentment, regret, and unwillingness, and even hysterically screaming "My family will definitely avenge me," before I cleanly and decisively kill him with a single blow, that's when he showed some backbone!
But why? How did things turn out this way?!
