Urban: It turns out this is a comprehensive world

"Let's do it!"

The burly leader gritted his teeth and hissed, secretly realizing that the task was far more difficult than he had expected, but now he was in a bind.

Although they could have left immediately and given up the job, the brothers had taken it in the first place for the hefty reward. Now that the die was cast, there was no reason for them to give up so easily.

Moreover, their whereabouts have already been exposed. If they retreat now, they will not only gain nothing, but they will also be branded as cowards who desert in the face of battle. Wouldn't that be a huge loss?

Looking around again, although the crowd was sparse, it was not deserted. Several passersby had noticed the strange situation and were hurriedly taking out their phones to take pictures or call the police.

In other words, regardless of whether the deal goes through or not, they will no longer be able to establish themselves in Haishi.

"Since that's the case, let's pull off a big heist before we leave!"

The burly leader's eyes flashed with ferocity. Without hesitation, he leaped forward, unleashing his early-stage Innate Realm cultivation without reservation. His true energy surged like thunder, and his clenched fist, accompanied by a howling wind, smashed straight at one of the Luo family's bodyguards.

"court death!"

The person being targeted was a well-proportioned middle-aged bodyguard with a stubble on his chin and a cold, sharp gaze.

Faced with the burly man's fierce punch imbued with true energy, he neither dodged nor evaded. His true energy instantly condensed in his fists, and he met the opponent's punch head-on.

"Innate Realm!"

The burly man was startled. With a loud "bang," the violent shockwave of true energy spread outwards the moment his fists collided. The car parked on the side of the road was violently shaken, and the bushes on both sides were swept by the strong wind, making a rustling sound and sending branches and leaves flying.

The van driven by the five kidnappers was a little further away, and only the van windows were shaken and made a buzzing sound.

The custom-made van carrying Luo Lingtian and the others was extremely close, and the vehicle was violently shaken by the aftershock. If the vehicle had not been a specially reinforced model with bulletproof windows, the impact would have shattered the glass.

After exchanging blows, the burly man staggered back two steps, clearly at a disadvantage.

He was originally a self-taught practitioner, and his cultivation methods were crude and incomparable to the orthodox methods of the middle-aged bodyguard. The bodyguard was a core martial artist carefully cultivated by the Bai family, and his cultivation foundation was far beyond what a rogue cultivator like him could achieve.

Realizing that the other party was also at the early stage of the Innate Realm and was even stronger than himself, the burly man showed no fear in his eyes, but instead a fiercer rage ignited within them.

He let out a low growl and charged forward again, engaging in a fierce fight with the middle-aged bodyguard.

However, the strong man's fighting style was extremely fierce and desperate, with every move aimed at vital points, which made the middle-aged bodyguard somewhat hesitant. Although the latter had the advantage in the quality of his internal energy, he lacked the ruthless experience of fighting to the death, and for a time he was dragged into a stalemate.

Meanwhile, the female bodyguard was also entangled by the other four kidnappers. Three of them launched a frontal assault, while a lewd-looking man continued to roam the periphery.

His eyes were fixed on the van, as if he was about to rush up and kidnap people at any moment, forcing the female bodyguard to be on guard. The defense was not too difficult, but it was not easy to deal with the four people.

Inside the van, Luo Lingtian glanced at the stalemate outside and said calmly to Luo Xixi beside him, "Miss Luo, it's time to 'escape' with your assistant."

Luo Xixi chuckled lightly, then quickly suppressed her laughter, her face instantly filled with panic. She deliberately acted flustered, yanked open the car door, and dragged her assistant out of the car in a stumbling manner.

"Miss, you need to leave here immediately!"

Hearing the car door open, the female bodyguard instinctively looked up and shouted anxiously. Her attention wavered, and she immediately gave herself away.

A glint of light flashed in the lewd man's eyes. He seized the opportunity to break through her defenses and pounced on Luo Xixi like a hungry wolf.

The two were only five or six meters apart. The lewd man was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he rushed to a meter in front of Luo Xixi, and his dark, rough hand reached out to grab Luo Xixi's arm.

Luo Xixi and her assistant feigned terror, their bodies involuntarily shrinking back as their sharp cries for help pierced the sky.

"Outrageous! How dare you commit violence in broad daylight and bully a woman!"

Just at this critical moment, a deep, angry shout suddenly rang out.

At the corner of the road, a figure darted over like an arrow, and just as the lewd man's hand was about to touch Luo Xixi's sleeve, it steadily blocked her way.

The newcomer's palm surged with internal energy, and he slapped the lewd man hard in the chest with a backhand.

With a "thud," the lewd man didn't even have time to let out a complete scream before he was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, his face still frozen in shock and fear.

Upon landing, blood gushed from his mouth and nose, his body twitched twice, and he managed to squeeze out the words "Innate Expert" before losing all his breath.

The newcomer turned to look at the "still in shock" Luo Xixi, a strange smile tugging at his face. His mouth was crooked, almost reaching his ears, and his expression was so bizarre that it was not something a human could make.

Are you alright?

Luo Xixi's expression froze almost imperceptibly for a moment, then she immediately put on a look of lingering fear and said softly, "It's alright, thank you for saving me, big brother."

"This is Xiao Chen? His smile is so unrealistic!"

Luo Xixi maintained her act of feigning terror, but inwardly she couldn't help but rant and rave.

What left her speechless was that Xiao Chen deliberately struck what he thought was a cool pose, his eyes full of smugness.

"Fourth brother!"

The burly man, who was fighting with the middle-aged bodyguard, watched helplessly as the lewd man was about to succeed when Xiao Chen suddenly appeared and killed him with a single palm strike. His eyes widened in fury, and his anger surged to the top of his head.

But when he realized that Xiao Chen was also at the early stage of the Innate Realm, his heart sank, knowing that the mission was completely ruined.

He glared at Xiao Chen with a sinister look, then suddenly channeled all his inner energy to force back the middle-aged bodyguard. In a flash, he lunged at the female bodyguard who was being entangled in the fight.

The female bodyguard noticed the burly man's sudden attack and quickly dodged to the side. At the same time, she deliberately created an opening, allowing the three kidnappers she had been suppressing to take the opportunity to escape the battle.

"retreat!"

This was exactly what the burly man wanted. He beckoned to the three men and then turned and fled into the shadows.

"You lawless thugs, you think you can just leave!"

The middle-aged bodyguard and the female bodyguard exchanged a glance. Their primary task was to protect Luo Xixi, and they did not intend to pursue her.

But Xiao Chen shouted, leaping into the air and chasing after the four who had fled, yelling, "Mountain-Splitting Palm!"

The burly man, already burning with rage over his brother's murder, became even more enraged upon seeing Xiao Chen blocking his path. He unleashed his inner energy without reservation, turning around to meet Xiao Chen's attack with a palm strike: "Heart-Shattering Palm!"

As their palms met, their true energy surged and scattered, causing Xiao Chen to stagger back several steps.

The burly man gave him a cold glance, then turned and quickly chased after his men, disappearing into the darkness on either side of the road in the blink of an eye.

"Damn it, they got away!"

Xiao Chen stared at the empty intersection, a look of deep frustration on his face.

But all of this was done on purpose; he still had a backup plan to deal with the stalker who hired these five people.

If all five of them die here, and if any more incidents occur with the sasaeng fans, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.

But if these four people were allowed to escape, everything would make perfect sense.

After suffering such a huge loss, how could five desperate criminals not go back to their employer for an explanation?

When the sasaeng fans are silenced, the blame will naturally fall on these four people.

As for whether these four were the ones who ultimately carried out the attack, no one knows for sure. After all, he had already arranged for the Fox Hunting Squad to keep a close watch on them, and once these four were far away from the area, their deaths would be imminent.

Suppressing his scheming, Xiao Chen turned and walked back to Luo Xixi, pretending to have just recognized her. His face instantly lit up with fervent admiration: "Miss, oh? Are you Luo Xixi? I'm your fan!"

Just as he was getting into the role, the door of the van was suddenly pulled open again, and an ordinary-looking man darted out like a ghost, his fist carrying a deadly force, aimed straight at Xiao Chen's head!

"What?!"

A deadly sense of crisis instantly enveloped him, and the fanaticism on Xiao Chen's face froze, replaced by extreme horror.

He instinctively crossed his hands above his head, his internal energy surging wildly into his arms in an attempt to block the attack.

"Snap!"

A sharp, piercing sound of bones cracking rang out, followed by Xiao Chen's agonizing scream: "Ugh!"

The man's fist pierced through Xiao Chen's arms and slammed into his forehead.

Xiao Chen was struck as if by a heavy blow, and flew backward, spitting out blood in mid-air. Crimson blood foam also oozed from his eyes, ears, and nose. He fainted after landing, and his fate was unknown.

"Dragon King!"

Three exclamations rang out simultaneously, and three figures darted out from the shadows, instantly surrounding the fallen Xiao Chen and frantically checking his injuries.

"They're still alive? They're really tough."

Luo Lingtian and the others followed closely behind and got out of the car, walking to the side of the man who had made the first move. This man was none other than Mo Yu in disguise.

Mo Yu stared coldly at the unconscious Xiao Chen. He could clearly sense that Xiao Chen was still breathing faintly. He said coldly, "I'd like to see who can save you today!"

Before he finished speaking, he leaped forward again, unleashing his late-stage Innate Realm cultivation without reservation. His true energy condensed and did not dissipate, creating a terrifying aura.

That's right, Mo Yu's cultivation has broken through, and he successfully entered the late stage of the Innate Realm just a few days ago.

Ye Fan and Luo Yuntian also broke through at the same time.

Like Mo Yu, Ye Fan has reached the late stage of the Innate Realm.

Luo Yuntian broke through to the mid-stage of Dan Jin.

Only Zhao Hao, having only recently broken through to the early stage of the Innate Realm, is unlikely to make further progress in the short term.

"Let's get started!"

Upon seeing this, Zhao Hao shouted and charged forward first.

Luo Yuntian and Ye Fan exchanged a glance and immediately followed suit. The four of them instantly engaged in battle with Xiao Chen's three protectors.

Ye Fan and Mo Yu each faced one person individually, and with their late-stage Innate Realm strength, they had already established a suppressive force.

Zhao Hao and Luo Yuntian joined forces to deal with the remaining person. Xiao Chen's three protectors were all at the late stage of the Innate Realm.

With his initial stage of Innate Realm strength, Zhao Hao was no match for him. It was only thanks to Luo Yuntian's breakthrough to the mid-stage of Core Formation that the two of them managed to hold off their opponent, and the battle quickly turned around.
