Chapter 1163 - 1160: Lin Chuan Arrives
Facing two helpless women and the unconscious Huang Bo, Zhou Kai suddenly felt a sense of responsibility. He had to protect these people, even if it meant risking his own life.
"Xiao Rui, help me take care of Yilin. Do not come out unless you hear me call." Zhou Kai pushed Ma Yilin away from his embrace and spoke to Zhou Rui.
Ma Yilin tightly held onto Zhou Kai's sleeve, crying, "Kai, don't go out."
Zhou Kai smiled slightly at Ma Yilin and said, "Yilin, a real man knows what he must do. I have to go out. We can't just stay here waiting to die. I must get you out."
Zhou Kai spoke with such boldness that Ma Yilin gazed at him with deep affection, let go of her hand, and without saying a word, everything was expressed in those passionate eyes.
Zhou Rui also remained silent, understanding the temperament of Zhou Kai and the main members of the Jvyi Gang. At this point, persuasion was useless, so she nodded to Zhou Kai.
Zhou Kai gave a slight smile to Zhou Rui and Ma Yilin, then resolutely reached out to open the door and walked out.
The hallway remained silent, completely devoid of sound, the chilling air as strong as ever. Zhou Kai stepped out of the room, carefully closed the door, took a deep breath, and walked toward the end of the hallway.
As he passed through the hallway, Zhou Kai saw a roughly forty to fifty-centimeter-long iron rod lying on the ground and picked it up.
At the end of the hallway, Zhou Kai saw that guy again. He stood there motionless, like a corpse, even the posture was exactly the same as before.
In fact, Zhou Kai could never have imagined that the guy was actually a corpse.
The puppet remained still, and Zhou Kai dared not move. He faced the puppet in a standoff, time slowly ticking by, and Zhou Kai felt a numbing sensation throughout his body.
This was a natural reaction from standing still for too long.
Feeling the numbing spread through his body, Zhou Kai couldn't help but shift positions, and just then, a strange sound echoed, and the puppet suddenly moved.
Seeing the puppet move, Zhou Kai secretly gathered all his energy, gripping the iron rod tightly, and when the puppet was about a meter away from him, he swung the rod horizontally at it.
Thud...
The iron rod struck the puppet's body with a dull sound, not only failing to knock it down but the retaliating force from its body sent Zhou Kai flying two meters away, crashing into the hallway wall.
"Damn!" Zhou Kai felt waves of severe pain throughout his body, cursing under his breath as he struggled to stand up from the ground, ignoring the blood at the corner of his mouth, holding the iron rod horizontally, and stared coldly at the approaching puppet.
At that moment, his mind held only one thought, even if it meant sacrificing his own life, he couldn't let this guy hurt Ma Yilin, Zhou Rui, Huang Bo.
The puppet looked at Zhou Kai with empty, soulless eyes, approaching him. Zhou Kai concentrated all his strength in his arms, swinging the iron rod horizontally at the puppet again.
The puppet, though mindless, didn't pay Zhou Kai any heed, suddenly raising its right hand swiftly, grabbing Zhou Kai's swinging iron rod like lightning, and with a powerful flick, Zhou Kai was thrown, smashing into the wall.
Intense pain surged through his mind, Zhou Kai felt like his whole body was falling apart, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell weakly to the ground.
Damn it, I'm going to fight him to the end. Zhou Kai disregarded his own safety, shakily stood up, his face covered in blood, and walked step by step toward the puppet.
Like lightning, the puppet extended its right hand, grabbing Zhou Kai's throat before he could react.
Zhou Kai felt his breathing becoming difficult, his body growing weak, and his mind blank.
At the hallway's entrance, a figure swiftly appeared, shouting loudly, wielding a dark short rod, and slammed it hard at the puppet's head.
The puppet seemed terribly afraid of the dark short rod in the newcomer's hand, releasing Zhou Kai, and with a turn of its body, crashed through the hallway window and jumped down.
The figure settled, revealing itself to be Lin Chuan.
As Zhou Kai caught his breath, he glanced at Lin Chuan and shouted "Chuan Brother!" before passing out.
Lin Chuan did not pursue the puppet. He retracted the dark short rod, quickly squatted next to Zhou Kai, and first checked his breathing. Fortunately, Zhou Kai had only fainted and was not in any mortal danger.
In the room, Zhou Rui and Ma Yilin were trembling in fear, with Ma Yilin muttering Zhou Kai's name. Although Zhou Rui was scared, she wasn't as terrified as Ma Yilin. She suddenly heard Zhou Kai shout "Chuan Brother" outside, feeling a rush of joy. Lin Chuan had arrived.
Hearing Zhou Kai's shout, Zhou Rui knew Lin Chuan had appeared at this critical moment. She grabbed Ma Yilin, opened the door, and dashed out.
"Lin Chuan!" As Zhou Rui ran out, she saw Lin Chuan and couldn't help but shout, throwing herself at him.
On the side, Ma Yilin saw Zhou Kai lying silently on the ground, and cried as she rushed over to his direction.
Zhou Rui flew into Lin Chuan's arms, holding him tightly, as if afraid that if she let go, Lin Chuan would disappear.
Lin Chuan gently patted Zhou Rui's shoulder and said softly, "Xiao Rui, you're scared, let's get Zhou Kai to the room first."
Zhou Rui's pretty face turned a bit red, and she quickly stepped away from Lin Chuan's embrace. Lin Chuan looked at Ma Yilin who was crying desperately over Zhou Kai and said, "Xiao Ma, Kai is fine, he's just temporarily fainted."
Upon hearing Lin Chuan's words, Ma Yilin's mood immediately stabilized.
Lin Chuan picked up Zhou Kai, returned to Ma Yilin's room, placed him and Huang Bo on the bed, and then extended a stream of Inner Qi into their bodies with his hands on their backs.
Under the effect of the Inner Qi, Zhou Kai and Huang Bo woke up within a few minutes, both not knowing what to say as they looked at Lin Chuan.
Zhou Kai and Huang Bo's injuries were not very serious to begin with, and Lin Chuan's Inner Qi has healing properties, so their injuries were basically not much of a problem.
Seeing that the two of them were no longer in trouble, Lin Chuan urged everyone to quickly pack up and return to Jiangbei City first.
At the main hall of Maoshan Tao, Qin Zhengtian stared at Qin Fang with a gloomy expression and angrily said, "What's going on? How did Lin Chuan escape again?"
Qin Fang's face wasn't cute and lovely at all at this moment, it was also covered with a cold expression as she said, "Lin Chuan originally took our bait according to the plan, but an old man suddenly intervened."
Qin Zhengtian's face froze briefly and he said, "Old man? What old man?"
Qin Fang said, "I'm not quite sure who this old man is, but he suddenly appeared behind me without a sound, and from what I can see, his cultivation is probably above that of the Hall Master."
Qin Zhengtian's face was full of surprise, there weren't many people in the world with cultivation higher than his, even the Sect Leader of the Tai Chi Sect, Feng Lingfeng, and Xuanyuan Sect Leader, Fan Changhe, have similar cultivation to his. This old man suddenly appeared with a higher cultivation than him, what kind of person could he be.
"Immediately find out the background of this old man, and also notify the people in Jiangbei City to pull back." Qin Zhengtian instructed Qin Fang.
Qin Fang was slightly taken aback, and said, "Sect Leader, what about Lin Chuan?"
Qin Zhengtian smirked sinisterly and said, "Let's let him go for now, once we complete the major affair, he'll have his day."
Yang Zi has completely transformed recently, the mature allure of womanly charm on her body has become more seductive.
She no longer hides her identity as a fugitive, openly coming and going in a bar in Linjiang City.
The bar was filled with flashing multicolor neon lights, clamoring crowds, and men and women swaying crazily to the stimulating music, the entire bar was imbued with a sense of lust.
Yang Zi sat on a chair at the bar, surrounded by three or four men, with seven or eight eyes staring at her mature body like hungry wolves.
Yang Zi didn't seem to mind the wolf-like gazes of these men, smiling seductively at the men around her.
Beside Yang Zi, a man about thirty years old, who was quite handsome, kept staring at her. Yang Zi turned her head and gave him a captivating smile.
Her glance was both resentful and inviting, and in that instant, the man fully felt the temptation and seductiveness emanating from a mature woman.
Just with Yang Zi's seductive smile, it captivated the man's soul, his eyes were fixed on Yang Zi, his Adam's apple moving rapidly, wishing he could immediately embrace Yang Zi and indulge freely.
Yang Zi, whether intentionally or not, changed the position of her long legs.
Her extremely sexy legs under the short skirt occasionally parted and closed, and from the man's angle, the scenery beneath the skirt was fleetingly visible. Her two towering peaks swayed with her body's movement, creating a spectacular sight.
This nearly drove the men crazy, their wolfish gaze turning into one of desire any human could understand.
They were all thinking the same thing, to quickly win over this seductive woman and find a place to ravage her fiercely.
The man couldn't resist the impulse in his heart any longer and struck up a conversation with Yang Zi, "Beautiful lady, would you mind if I buy you a drink?"
Yang Zi smiled seductively again, her long and fair legs changed positions once more, she laughed and said, "I don't mind you buying me a drink, I'd agree even if you invited me to bed right now."
Oh my, what has Yang Zi become now, if Lin Chuan saw this scene, who knows what he would think.
