Gao Wu: Oh no! Young Master Zhen is a cultivator!

"It seems the Sun family is really in a hurry this time," Lin Ran said with a playful smile.

Last time, the innate martial artist failed to accomplish anything, so this time they directly dispatched an extraordinary being, giving Lin Ran, an F-level awakener, considerable attention.

Unfortunately, since it wasn't the Tongxuan Ancestor who personally intervened, it was destined that Lin Ran could not be captured.

At this moment, four bodyguards at the Inner Breath Realm quickly jumped out of the two escort vehicles, which were also slightly disheveled due to sudden braking.

They immediately took a defensive stance, protecting Lin Ran behind them, their eyes fixed on the man in black in front of them.

However, just as the four of them regained their footing, Lin Ran raised his hand to stop them: "Step back, you are no match for him."

The four bodyguards exchanged glances, and one of them said seriously, "We've been paid, and protecting the young master is our duty."

"That's quite something." Lin Ran glanced at him. "But if you know you can't win, there's no need to go and die."

Upon hearing this, the four hesitated for a moment.

The assassin shifted his gaze from the bodyguard to Lin Ran's face: "Aren't you afraid of dying?"

"I bet you can't kill me." Lin Ran said calmly.

"Arrogant." The assassin raised his hand, and a wind blade flew out from the edge of his palm.

call out!

Lin Ran sidestepped.

The wind blade grazed his earlobe, severing a few strands of hair.

Click!

The Rolls-Royce, already upside down, was sliced ​​through the chassis by a wind blade, the sound of the aluminum alloy frame being cut open was sharp and piercing.

The wind blade pierced through the entire vehicle body, shooting out from the front and leaving a cut several meters long on the asphalt road.

Antifreeze and engine oil were mixed together and gushing out from the crack.

This car is now a total loss.

Lin Ran glanced back at the wreckage of the Rolls-Royce and feigned indignation: "If you're going to fight, then fight. How can you damage other people's property? This is a luxury car worth tens of millions."

At the same time, he thought to himself, "That was close."

If this guy hadn't used the car to ram him, but instead used the wind blade directly, he might have revealed some of his trump cards.

"You still have the mind to care about a piece of junk?" The assassin felt slighted.

"How can you call that a junk car? That's a Rolls-Royce!" Lin Ran pointed to the still-smoking car body. "Oh, it really is a junk car now. You're really wasting its potential!"

The assassin took a deep breath, his eyes narrowing slightly: "Enough talk, prepare to die!"

He exerted force with his feet, and his figure turned into a blur as he rushed straight towards Lin Ran.

Wind elements condensed into a light blue protective aura around him, causing the road surface to crack wherever he passed, and pebbles to be swept up and fall back down by the shockwaves.

However, before his palm could touch Lin Ran, two figures flashed out from both sides at the same time.

The man on the right crossed his arms, and a layer of earth-yellow rock armor emerged from his skin, forcefully blocking the assassin's path.

Bang.

The assassin's palm struck the rock armor, sending rock fragments flying everywhere.

The rock-armored guard grunted, his feet carving two deep furrows in the road, and he took three steps back before regaining his balance.

The man on the left made a fist with his right hand, and a blinding arc of electricity exploded in his palm.

Fine blue electric light spread along his arm, instantly condensing into a two-meter-long lightning whip, which swept towards the assassin's waist.

Crack!

The lightning whip lashed at the assassin's protective aura, the electric arcs rubbing violently against the wind element, producing a piercing sound.

The assassin abruptly halted his forward momentum, flipped over and retreated rapidly, a few streaks of electric light still lingering on his body as he landed on his toes.

The two extraordinary martial artists steadied themselves and stood on either side of Lin Ran behind them.

Lin Ran had already informed Lin Hongbo when Sun Jinghuan made his harsh remarks.

Sure enough, Lin Hongbo did indeed bring in a master.

Although Lin Ran could handle the current situation, he was not confident that he could kill a Transcendent Realm martial artist.

If the assassin manages to escape, he'll be exposed immediately.

"There's even a master here!" The assassin's pupils contracted.

He had already obtained detailed information and confirmed that Lin Ran only had four bodyguards at the Inner Breath Realm, otherwise he would not have acted rashly.

Unexpectedly, I was still careless in the end.

The lightning guards took the initiative, their lightning whips drawing several arcs in the air to block the assassins' flanks.

Taking advantage of the situation, the Rock Armor Guard pressed forward, his right fist, wrapped in a thick layer of rock, smashing towards the assassin's front.

boom!

The assassin unleashed a wind blade to force back the lightning whip, while simultaneously striking with both palms to take a punch from the rock-armored guard.

The wind element vibrated violently, and cracks spread outwards from the point of stress.

He used the momentum to leap backward, and just as his toes touched the ground, the lightning whip struck again, at a tricky angle, forcing him to dodge once more.

The extraordinary martial artists moved with incredible speed; bystanders could only hear the sounds of fighting, unable to see the three figures clearly at all.

In other words, Lin Ran, a cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining, was unaffected and witnessed the entire process.

The Rock Armor Guardians were responsible for direct confrontation, while the Lightning Guardians were responsible for flanking maneuvers, gradually compressing the assassins' escape routes.

Seeing that his room to maneuver was getting smaller and smaller, the assassin suddenly threw out three wind blades to force back the lightning guards, and then turned and fled.

He was incredibly fast, leaping more than ten meters away in the blink of an eye.

Lin Ran secretly made a hand seal and released a Rock Ridge Technique.

A sharp stone spike silently rose from the ground beneath the assassin's feet, its height perfectly positioned at his ankle.

The assassin stepped on it, lost his balance, and fell forward.

He reacted quickly, immediately pushing off with his feet and leaping into the air, preparing to use the wind element to escape from the air.

Seizing the opportunity, the lightning guard flung out his lightning whip, which transformed into an electric net in mid-air and enveloped the assassin.

The assassin was in mid-air, with nowhere to hide, when he was caught in the electric fence.

An electric current instantly coursed through his body, and he let out a short, muffled groan as his limbs stiffened for a moment.

The rock-armored guard raised his hand and shot out a rope with a metal claw at the end. It drew an arc in the air and precisely caught the assassin's ankle.

The assassin, having just recovered from the electric shock, swung his knife at the rope.

Clang!

The blade struck the rope, sending sparks flying.

The assassin slashed twice more, leaving only a shallow mark on the surface of the rope, without breaking a single fiber.

"If you can cut this rope, we won't have to fight you!" The Rock Armor Guard pulled hard.

The implication is that someone at least at the Profound Realm would be able to break this rope.

He exerted force suddenly, the rope tightened, and the assassin was dragged down from the air and slammed heavily onto the ground.

Bang!

A shallow crater was smashed into the asphalt road, and gravel flew everywhere.

With things having come to this point, the assassin knew there was no hope of escape.

He flipped himself up and, instead of retreating, charged towards Lin Ran.

The wind element was compressed wildly in his palm, condensing into a fist-sized air blast, which slightly distorted the surrounding space.

A one-for-one trade, killing Lin Ran would be considered a successful mission.

"Quick! Protect the Emperor!" Lin Ran feigned fear and turned to run.

His speed was perfectly controlled, making the assassin feel like he was about to succeed, but just a hair's breadth away.

The rock-armored guard rammed into the assassin head-on, its petrified shoulder slamming into his chest.

Bang!

The assassin's ribs cracked slightly as he was thrown backward by the impact.

The lightning guard followed up with a lightning whip from the side, striking the assassin squarely in the lower back, causing his body to stiffen once again.

The protective aura finally shattered under the double attack, turning into countless blue light spots.

He fell to the ground, where the Rock Armor Guard pinned his hands to the ground with his arms tied behind his back.

The mask was ripped off during the struggle, revealing a middle-aged face in his forties.

Although he was captured, he did not commit suicide.

Last time, the innate assassin bit through the poison sac in his mouth before he could be controlled, but this transcendent realm expert is quite afraid of losing his life.

It makes sense. Reaching the Transcendent Realm requires countless resources and time; once you die, you lose everything.

The more precious a person's life is, the more reluctant they are to die.

Just then, the police sirens sounded from afar.

Three police cars pulled up on the side of the road, and a dozen police officers filed out, with the lead officer raising his pistol.

"Put down your weapons, crouch down, and cover your head!"

Lin Ran leaned against the railing: "Are you crazy? You want two Transcendent Realm martial artists to squat down and put their heads in their hands?"

Upon hearing this, the sheriff paused slightly.

He glanced at the assassin pinned to the ground, then at the two guards standing there, unsure which way to point his gun.

He adjusted his wording: "Stop the attack immediately and come with us to the police station for questioning!"
