Urban: It turns out this is a comprehensive world

"Be careful!"

But before Zhao Hao could even push forward, the battle between Mo Yu and Xiao Chen suddenly took a turn for the worse, leaving no room for anyone else to intervene.

To be honest, from beginning to end, Xiao Chen never escaped being completely outmatched in this fight, even though he was the personal disciple of the old Dragon King of the Dragon King Palace, had a solid foundation in martial arts, and his martial arts level was not low.

But Mo Yu was no pushover either. As a legitimate heir of a martial arts family, he had repeatedly studied and sparred with Luo Lingtian over the years, modifying his family's martial arts to better suit himself. In terms of skill level, he was in no way inferior to Xiao Chen.

More importantly, both of them have experience as mercenaries overseas, having fought their way through dangerous situations, and their combat experience is ingrained in their very bones.

How could a newbie who has just stepped into the threshold of the Innate Realm possibly defeat Mo Yu, who is already firmly in the mid-Innate Realm and is about to reach the late-stage? It's pure self-inflicted torture.

Xiao Chen was also flexible enough not to fight to the end. Although he was roaring angrily and desperately squeezing out the little bit of true energy in his body, he couldn't take the beating anymore and wisely stopped confronting Mo Yu head-on.

Otherwise, given his condition, he would have been dead by now, a cold corpse.

Even so, as his internal energy was being depleted like flowing water, Xiao Chen's movements became increasingly sluggish. When Mo Yu's attack landed in front of him, he could barely dodge it and was about to be taken down.

At this critical moment, Ye Fan suddenly raised an eyebrow, keenly sensing two completely different and powerful auras, definitely the true qi fluctuations of the late stage of the Innate Realm, which came quickly and fiercely.

He didn't have time to think it through. He shouted a reminder to Mo Yu, and at the same time, his true energy was circulating wildly. His cultivation at the mid-stage of the Innate Realm was unleashed without reservation. With a gust of wind, he rushed towards the place where the two were fighting.

"Bang!"

Just as Ye Fan rushed to the edge of the battlefield, the owners of the two streams of true energy also appeared instantly. Without saying a word, they swung their fists at Mo Yu, clearly there to save Xiao Chen.

Mo Yu was currently focused on Xiao Chen, relentlessly pursuing him, waiting for him to exhaust his true energy and lose the strength to dodge before delivering a fatal blow.

Fortunately, he sensed the two extremely oppressive true energies in time, and with Ye Fan's reminder, he suddenly withdrew, barely avoiding the attack.

At the same time, he channeled his true energy into his hands, clenched his fists, and charged forward. With a loud "boom," the explosion of the colliding true energy made people's eardrums hurt.

Mo Yu was shaken and staggered backward, his chest churning and his blood and qi in disarray.

"They're actually two tough opponents at the late stage of the Innate Realm."

Ye Fan strode to Mo Yu's side, his eyes darkening as he glanced at him.

The two late-stage Innate Realm martial artists didn't press their advantage. Instead, they quickly retreated to Xiao Chen's side, protecting him on either side like two guardian deities.

Mo Yu looked at the two guards who suddenly appeared and cursed inwardly: Does the Dragon King Palace treat Xiao Chen like a precious treasure? The protection they're giving this mudfish is a bit too outrageous; there are actually two protectors.

He turned to look at Ye Fan beside him and asked, "Brother Ye, could you hold one of them off?"

"No problem." Ye Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, cracked his wrists, and spoke with unwavering confidence.

He would have come, partly because he couldn't stand Xiao Chen. That guy had stared at his fiancée Yang Shiyu with that shifty, lewd look, which had infuriated him.

On the other hand, since Luo Lingtian had spoken up, he was going along with it and could also do the other party a favor, so why not?

But given the current situation, Ye Fan's relaxed expression faded, and he became completely serious.

There's nothing we can do; Xiao Chen is really a bit strange.

Luo Lingtian had mentioned it to him before, and he had also secretly investigated it himself: Xiao Chen had been attacked by Mo Yu once before and almost died on the spot, but was eventually rescued by a protector.

There was only one protector at the time, and his purpose in coming here was to help Mo Yu entangle that protector.

As it turned out, the protectors suddenly increased from one to two, and both of them were at the late stage of the Innate Realm!

This made Ye Fan take it seriously. When Mo Yu first attacked Xiao Chen, he was certain that there was only one protector by his side. Otherwise, if there had been two experts at the late stage of the Innate Realm, Mo Yu would have been the one to run away.

This can only mean one thing: the Dragon King Palace really takes this new Dragon King seriously and is using all its resources to protect him.

Thinking of this, Ye Fan's anger flared up. Xiao Chen was already arrogant and unscrupulous, and he even dared to look at Yang Shiyu with such a lewd gaze. Now that he had such a powerful background, who knows if he would really make a move on Yang Shiyu in the future.

This is absolutely intolerable!

This time there are two late-stage Innate Realm protectors. If we can't deal with Xiao Chen here today, the next time we meet, there might be three of them, which will be even more difficult to deal with.

Mo Yu was completely unaware of Ye Fan's inner thoughts and immediately instructed in a deep voice: "Zhao Hao, you and Yun Tian deal with Xiao Chen together. Ye Brother and I will hold off those two late-stage Xiantian cultivators."

"Good!" Ye Fan, Zhao Hao, and Luo Yuntian said in unison, their eyes filled with killing intent.

"kill!"

With a furious shout, the battle erupted once more.

The two late-stage Innate Realm protectors immediately split up, one engaging Mo Yu and the other facing Ye Fan. The four of them clashed, their true energy colliding repeatedly, making it difficult to determine who was the best.

Interestingly, despite their superior cultivation, the two protectors were unable to gain the upper hand against Mo Yu and Ye Fan, who were only at the mid-stage of the Innate Realm. Instead, they were subtly suppressed and struggled to keep up.

On the other side, Xiao Chen had just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the protectors appear, thinking that he could get away smoothly. But when he turned around, he saw that both protectors were entangled, and Zhao Hao and Luo Yuntian were rushing towards him with murderous intent. His face instantly darkened.

"Damn it! You two think you're worthy of killing me?!" Xiao Chen roared, both angry and anxious.

He could sense the fluctuations of early-stage innate true energy on Zhao Hao's body, while Luo Yuntian, although he did not appear to have any true energy leaking out, was full of blood and qi, and his aura was in no way inferior to that of an innate realm martial artist, so he was obviously not someone to be trifled with.

"Damn it!" Xiao Chen gritted his teeth, feeling extremely frustrated.

Although his internal energy was almost completely depleted, he believed that he had never been afraid of anyone within the same realm, and even if the two of them joined forces, he might not lose.

But reality slapped him hard in the face; as soon as they clashed, he was immediately at a disadvantage.

Zhao Hao and Luo Yuntian, if taken individually, could each fight him to a standstill in his prime. Now, with the two of them joining forces, their moves were ruthless and aimed straight for vital points. Xiao Chen was instantly forced into a dangerous situation and almost fell victim to their attacks several times.

"Retreat!" At this point, Xiao Chen finally gave up on being stubborn and stopped being headstrong. He gritted his teeth and gave the order to retreat. At the same time, he used the last bit of true energy in his body to slam down on Zhao Hao and Luo Yuntian, hoping to escape.

Bang!

puff!

The three forces collided violently. Xiao Chen's remaining true energy was no match for them. He failed to repel Zhao Hao and Luo Yuntian, but he still achieved his goal. Using the impact of the collision, he flew backward.

At the same time, a sharp surge of true energy and a strange, hidden force entered his body, causing him severe injury. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face turned ashen.

On the other side, Long Yi (the protector who rescued Xiao Chen last time), who was entangled by Mo Yu, and another protector exchanged a glance and immediately understood. They both unleashed their true energy with all their might, forcefully pushing back the fighting Mo Yu and Ye Fan.

In a flash, they rushed to Xiao Chen's side, who was lying on the ground with serious injuries. They lifted him up from both sides and used their lightness skills to escape into the distance like the wind.

Upon hearing Xiao Chen's order to retreat, the other members of the Fox Hunt Squad dared not linger. They each used all their skills to shake off the members of the Killing God Temple and retreated from the scene in a sorry state.

"Damn it!"

Mo Yu and Zhao Hao looked at the empty battlefield, their faces so gloomy they could drip water. Such a meticulously planned ambush had still allowed that slippery Xiao Chen to escape; it was truly frustrating.

Ye Fan's expression turned solemn. Only then did he fully understand why Mo Yu was so wary of Xiao Chen. The protective force behind this guy was much stronger than he had imagined.

Luo Yuntian narrowed his eyes, standing there lost in thought, seemingly calculating something.

"It seems to be much more difficult than expected."

Li Shiheng pushed open the car door and got out. He walked to the four people, his face also full of solemnity.

He was the core target of the Dragon King Palace's assassination attempt this time. Since he failed to completely capture Xiao Chen and his group, he would have to live on guard at all times from now on.

After all, as the old saying goes, "There are only those who steal for a thousand days, not those who guard against thieves for a thousand days." No one can withstand this kind of prolonged stalemate.

However, Li Shiheng witnessed the entire battle from inside the car and knew that Mo Yu and the others could not be blamed for this.

During the pre-battle analysis, the number of protectors around Xiao Chen had already been taken into account; otherwise, Mo Yu wouldn't have specifically asked Ye Fan and Luo Lingtian to help cover him.

Who could have predicted that Xiao Chen would suddenly have a protector at the late stage of the Innate Realm, completely disrupting all his plans?

What's giving Li Shiheng the biggest headache right now is what to do next. He hired Mo Yu's Killing God Hall specifically to deal with this assassination attempt. Although they've repelled the Dragon King Hall's people, Xiao Chen and the Dragon King Hall shouldn't make any rash moves in the short term.

But this doesn't mean Xiao Chen will give up the assassination mission. However, he can't keep hiring Mo Yu and the others to protect him forever.

It wasn't that he couldn't afford the commission, but rather that Mo Yu's status was what it was. Short-term emergency missions were fine, but he didn't think Mo Yu would agree to long-term close protection work.

Moreover, he knew perfectly well that if Xiao Chen hadn't been involved, Mo Yu probably wouldn't have accepted this mission at all.

To be honest, Li Shiheng had a contingency plan in mind when facing the assassination attempt by the Dragon King Palace, but now the situation has changed. Xiao Chen has two late-stage Innate Realm martial artists by his side, plus himself, making a total of three Innate Realm experts.

If he stays holed up in the manor villa and doesn't come out, his safety can be guaranteed thanks to the defenses he's set up and the poisoned crossbows.

But he's the president of the Li Group, with a ton of things to handle. He can't just hide away like a coward and never go out, can he? That's simply not realistic.
