Time slowly passed, and the one-sided crushing continued.
Elsewhere, Gu Yiran and others created a vast space for Lin Yi, drawing away the remaining people.
Although they were outnumbered, they had guns and could barely hold their own against these mindlessly charging foes.
Moreover, what these people feared most was not the guns in Gu Yiranâs hands but the knife in Lin Yiâs.
Because anyone who got close to him never returned unscathed.
Several more minutes passed, and over fifty people had fallen to the ground.
The scene of chaos continued, but Lin Yiâs valor greatly diminished the opponentâs momentum.
Everyone was waiting for Lin Yi to tire out, then find an opening to subdue him.
But their plan went awry.
The man before them was like a tireless machine.
After such a prolonged fight, he was still full of energy and fought with increasing ferocity!
âBoss, something seems off,â Zhu Xiangrong said nervously,
âThis guy is tougher than we thought. I say we take him out with a sneak shot.â
âThatâs hardly possible now; his buddies are watching from the outside. They havenât given us a chance, or I would have shot him long ago,â Liu Huasheng replied,
âHis skill is indeed remarkable, but I donât think he can hold out much longer. Heâll tire soon, and thatâs when our chance will come.â
Zhu Xiangrong didnât say anything else, in his view, one against over two hundred was utterly impossible.
No matter how skilled, it was not feasible.
Human strength has its limits: even a ferocious tiger cannot withstand a pack of wolves. With over a hundred of us left, wearing him down is not an issue.
In a sense, the two were not wrong, except that today, they encountered an exception.
Lin Yiâs skill far exceeded their expectations.
As the leader of the Central Guards Brigadeâs first group, the current situation, though chaotic, was still manageable, just a waste of some time.
While the two spoke, another thirty-plus people were knocked to the ground.
Liu Huashengâs followersâ morale was greatly damaged.
Not for any other reason, but because the man before them was too fierce.
Anyone who dared to get within a meter of him either had their bones broken or got sliced by the knife.
Facing such a man, claiming to be unafraid was definitely a lie.
And it was precisely for this reason that everyone harbored a sense of cowardice.
They also began to wonder, what were this manâs limits?
Gu Yiran and Li Hao, among others, were equally shocked.
Gu Yiran knew Lin Yi was a fighter, but he had no idea he could fight like this.
One man against dozens, still unscathed, and his attack speed and force remained undiminished!
Li Hao and Zhou Min were sweating profusely.
Lin Yiâs ruthlessness left a deep impression on them.
They knew very well if it had been them, theyâd be dead by now.
In less than twenty minutes, half of the attackers were on the ground, lying motionless in pools of blood.
Some were even stacked atop each other, creating a chilling scene.
It was like the Chaotic Grave Mound on a dark and windy night.
The remaining hundred or so men stopped their movements as if by an unspoken agreement, eyeing Lin Yi with predatory caution.
The sight of those on the ground was enough to shake their resolve.
Liu Huasheng was sweating profusely inside the ancestral hall, his linen shirt soaked.
But he had no way out.
âDonât be intimidated by him; we have no way out. If weâre caught, none of us will end well. Just finish him off!â
Hearing this, the remaining hundred or so men became energized as if injected with adrenaline.
They were also aware of their own wrongdoings.
If they didnât act, there was no way out.
With this thought, they charged again, like mind-controlled machines.
âBoss, we canât keep going like this. Weâre bound to leave sooner or later; how about we get going now?â Zhu Xiangrong cautiously suggested,
âI have a bad feeling about this.â
Liu Huasheng nodded warily, âLetâs go, be careful.â
With their plan agreed upon, the two carefully retreated, preparing to leave through the back door of the ancestral hall.
It was at that moment that they heard Gu Yiranâs loud shout.
âStop right there!â
Their expressions changed instantly, and they hurriedly quickened their pace towards the back of the hall!
Gu Yiran didnât think much and chased in the direction of the pairâs escape.
At this time, Li Hao and Zhou Min also realized what was happening and joined the pursuit!
âDamn it!â
Liu Huasheng cursed, hastening his steps and running desperately towards the back door!
Seeing their leader fleeing, the morale of those who were fighting Lin Yi collapsed in an instant.
Lin Yi seized the opportunity, drew his gun from his waist, and fired several shots into the sky!
âNobody move!â
The formerly resolute followers froze, as if nailed to the ground, and dared not act rashly.
âYour boss has run away; do you still want to be cannon fodder for him?â
Everyone fell silent, their collective spirit deflated in that moment.
Liu Huashengâs departure was a severe blow to them.
It was like their house had collapsed.
Then, more gunshots rang out in the distance.
Lin Yi glanced over, guessing that Gu Yiran had prevailed.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, he saw the three returning to the ancestral hall with Liu Huasheng and Zhu Xiangrong in custody.
At this point, Liu Huashengâs followers were mentally broken, without any desire to resist.
Perhaps even if the fight continued, the man before them wouldnât give them any more chances.
Those lying on the ground were evidence enough.
Once everyone was under control, Li Hao called the Longhu Branch and learned that reinforcements were on their way soon. Only then did they truly relax.
âYou all are really something, daring to attack us. With such boldness, you should be sent to a dare-to-die squad.â
Liu Huasheng turned his head away, not looking at Lin Yi.
It was as if he had accepted his fate.
Lin Yi patted Liu Huashengâs shoulder meaningfully and said,
âDonât think that by staying silent, you can escape unscathed. I advise you to confess everything you know when you get to the branch office. Donât make us waste words; it wonât do you any good.â
âHehâ¦â
Liu Huasheng scoffed disdainfully, âI know the magnitude of my crimes, and I know death is unavoidable. Do you think Iâll make it easy for you?â
Lin Yi also smiled, leaned closer, and whispered in Liu Huashengâs ear,
âLook at these people on the ground; at the very least, a dozen are dead. Do you think I donât have the means to make you wish you were dead?â
