If it were ordinary rcenaries being ambushed, they might not have noticed so quickly.
But Lin Xinghai was different. His Perception Power was on par with Fang Tianhe’s—no, actually, it had now surpassed it.
Just as Roger had said, Lin Xinghai’s Perception Power would continue to increase over the next few days.
His Perception range had now reached 110 ters.
Within this range, he could detect anyone who held hostile intentions toward him.
Right now, Lin Xinghai could sense hostility within his Perception range. And it wasn’t just from one person—there were enemies in front of and behind him.
On top of that, the path they were on, while not exactly a small alley, was definitely not a main road. It was perfect for an ambush. Everything was crystal clear.
Lin Xinghai’s sudden words startled everyone.
"Is it those people from the Axe Gang?" Liu Miaomiao was the quickest to react, asking nervously.
Hearing the na "Axe Gang," the expressions on the won’s faces grew even more tense.
They had actually looked into the Axe Gang earlier today.
Although it was considered a third-rate organization compared to a rcenary Corps, it still had over a hundred mbers. If they were really here to cause trouble for them...
The won didn’t dare to think about what would happen next.
"It should be the Axe Gang, but it’s fine." Lin Xinghai closed his eyes, sensed his surroundings for a mont, and then offered a reassuring smile.
Because within his Perception, there were no powerful individuals nearby, not even any of the Optimized.
Clearly, no mbers of the Wild Wolf rcenary Corps had co.
But even after hearing Lin Xinghai’s reassuring words, the expressions on the won’s faces didn’t relax in the slightest.
Although they knew Lin Xinghai was strong and had seen him in action yesterday, the fact that the Axe Gang still dared to co after them proved they had co prepared.
"Ah Xing, where are they hiding? Can we still get away?" Liu Miaomiao said, her voice laced with anxiety.
But before Lin Xinghai could speak, a sinister voice drifted from a corner up ahead. "My dear ladies, what’s the rush?"
Huai Feifu erged with the Four Great Vajra. Although he wore a smile, his expression was grim.
He didn’t know what had gone wrong with his plan that allowed them to be detected in advance.
Otherwise, he would have waited for Lin Xinghai to reach this corner and had the Four Great Vajra launch a sudden sneak attack, which would have finished him off in an instant.
But now, the sneak attack had turned into a direct assault. And since Lin Xinghai was a Speed-type, there were too many variables. He wasn’t even completely confident he could keep him here.
At this mont, Wang Yao—perhaps due to extre nervousness, or perhaps as a rebound from suppressed fear—took a step forward, pointed at Huai Feifu, and demanded, "Who are you? What do you want?"
"Who I am isn’t important. What’s important is that soone wants to et you. As long as you lovely ladies are willing to co with , you can ask whatever you want then," Huai Feifu said, still smiling. However, his narrowed eyes only made the won more uneasy.
"I don’t know what you want, but I’m telling you, we are official employees of the Governnt Hall now. If you dare to lay a hand on us, you’ll face the consequences." Although Wang Yao was terrified, she maintained a cold expression.
At that, Liu Miaomiao also stepped forward and added, "Maliciously harming employees of the Governnt Hall is a serious cri, and the security team will definitely investigate it thoroughly. If even one of us escapes and identifies you, an illegal organization like your Axe Gang will probably be disbanded today."
Liu Miaomiao’s words were ant partly for Lin Xinghai and partly as a warning to their attackers, hoping to make them hesitate.
And her words did have a considerable effect. The expressions on the faces of the Four Great Vajra, led by Steel Bear, clearly showed a hint of hesitation.
Even Huai Feifu couldn’t help but give Liu Miaomiao a second look. He realized this woman was not only beautiful but also clever.
A pity she had miscalculated one thing. He had already staked his life and fortune on this kidnapping; how could he possibly stop now?
At this thought, the smile on his face finally twisted into a vicious sneer. "That’s assuming any of you can escape."
"Everyone, take him down!" He roared the last three words.
As his voice fell, another twenty-odd people erged from all corners of the street.
These were all elites from the Axe Gang, each with a Genetic Optimization Level of at least 20%.
With them all together, and the Four Great Vajra as the main force, even a veteran rcenary would likely be hacked to death by their axes.
When things reached this point, how could Lin Xinghai not understand? Their goal wasn’t revenge for their underlings, but...
He glanced at Liu Miaomiao and the other won and couldn’t help but sigh to himself. ’Beauty truly is a curse!’
But he didn’t hesitate. He strode forward to et the charging Four Great Vajra.
Just as he had guessed, everyone was charging at him. No one paid any attention to Liu Miaomiao and the other won.
However, Liu Miaomiao and the others couldn’t escape either, because a few mbers of the Axe Gang had been left to block both ends of the path.
In the blink of an eye, the Four Great Vajra were upon him. Steel Bear, who led the charge, raised a Giant Hamr and smashed it toward Lin Xinghai’s head.
The blow was undeniably powerful, but no matter how strong it was, it had to hit its target to be effective.
Lin Xinghai simply sidestepped to dodge it, then seamlessly kicked out at his opponent’s shin.
Steel Bear instantly lost his balance. His all-out swing imdiately turned into an all-out face-plant.
And as he fell, Lin Xinghai had already circled behind him and, taking advantage of the montum, stomped hard on his back.
BAM!
Steel Bear slamd into the hard concrete pavent in a perfect face-plant. Anyone who saw it would have winced in pain.
As for Lin Xinghai, he had already used the force to leap into the air, narrowly dodging two Giant Axes chopping toward him, and then kicked out with both legs.
The heavy soles of his Combat Boots slamd viciously into the faces of his two attackers.
Lin Xinghai’s 21 points of Power might not have been much among other rcenaries, but against the so-called Four Great Vajra, it was more than they could handle.
When the kicks landed, their faces instantly twisted and deford. Their nasal bones were definitely broken, and they certainly lost their front teeth. Lin Xinghai didn’t know if they had concussions, but he knew for sure that it hurt.
Steel Leopard was the fastest among the Four Great Vajra. His Speed of 28 points gave him a huge advantage in fights against ordinary thugs.
In this battle, under the cover of the others, he used his Speed to circle behind Lin Xinghai and execute his signature move, the Dragon Spike.
Although he was stunned that Lin Xinghai had taken down three people in an instant, his dagger was now less than 20 centiters from his target’s back.
He could even imagine the generous reward he would receive after piercing the man’s heart and becoming the greatest hero of this mission.
However, it was as if his opponent had eyes in the back of his head. He reached back, unerringly grabbing his wrist, and then gave it a sharp twist.
CRACK!
The crisp sound of a breaking bone echoed from his wrist.
"And these are the so-called Four Great Vajra?" Lin Xinghai’s slightly mocking voice drifted into Steel Leopard’s ear.
