in front of him was a forest.
xia ling was tied to a large tree. it seemed like she wasn't mistreated, which made long chen relax a little.
as long as xia ling was safe, the rest of the matters would not be a problem.
he raised his eyes and glanced around. there were twenty to thirty people around him, all dressed in suits and leather shoes.
the person in the lead had yellow hair and blue eyes. he was an ugly man.
" hi, sir, i don't know how to address you. hello, let me introduce myself first. i'm ranked 50th on the world's assassin list. my enemies like to call me satan. you can also call me that. "
the blonde man with blue eyes spoke in great xia language fluently with a playful smile on his face.
"let her go."
long chen said indifferently.
"no, no, no, sir, you still have to hand over the pill recipe first."
satan smiled.
"mr. satan, using a woman to threaten me is already an insult to the dignity of a noble assassin. now, i'm all alone in your encirclement, and you don't have the courage to let go of my people first?
oh, i see. you're afraid that i'll defeat all of you by myself, right?"
long chen's expression was calm.
"you're so humorous." satan said, " i don't think you have the strength. i don't believe you can run away. our weapons can accurately hit your head even if you run a hundred meters away. "
"so, are you going to let her go?"
long chen asked.
"let her go. if you can't get the pill recipe, you will all die here. also, we will have other ways to get the pill recipe."
satan smiled.
following which, he had his men untie xia ling.
long chen suppressed the killing intent in his heart. the reason why he didn't make a move was that these people all had guns.
once a chaotic battle breaks out, he would be safe and sound. however, if xia ling was too far away from him, he would not be able to protect her.
therefore, long chen had to wait for xia ling to be by his side before he could be at ease.
after xia ling was untied, she ran to long chen's side, tears welling up in her eyes.
she didn't expect long chen to come to her rescue alone.
this made xia ling extremely touched. in a woman's life, she was already content to have met such a man.
however, she felt a little regretful. it was a pity that she had known long chen for too short a time.
she seemed to have a premonition that even if she and long chen really gave her the pill recipe, it would be difficult for them to leave this place alive.
"sir, i've already released the person. now, you can hand over the pill recipe."
satan laughed. he slowly raised the weapon in his hand and aimed it at long chen.
long chen ignored him and whispered to xia ling, " " i'll cover your eyes. no matter what you hear, don't open your eyes, okay? "
"yes."
xia ling nodded her head.
"be good, don't be afraid."
long chen tore off a piece of cloth from his clothes and used it as an eye mask to cover xia ling's eyes.
xia ling hugged long chen's arm, her heart filled with fear.
she didn't know what was going to happen next, but xia ling knew that even if she died, she couldn't leave the man beside her.
"sir, don't force me to say it a second time. it's time for you to hand over the pill formula."
satan urged, his tone already somewhat impatient.
long chen sneered. " the number one assassin in the west, the guy who claimed to be able to kill jesus, was once defeated by me. you can't even get into the top 20. what right do you have to challenge me? "
"what?"
satan's face turned cold.
then, he had a bad feeling and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
bang! bang!
a loud sound pierced through the sky.
long chen stared at the incoming bullet. in long chen's eyes, the bullet became extremely slow.
he raised his hand, extended two fingers, and caught the bullet with great precision.
the bullet was caught and stopped.
this scene was like a legend, it was hard to believe.
"to hell with it."
satan cried out.
the others also widened their eyes.
catching a bullet with one's bare hands, this kind of plot should not happen in the world outside the screen. it was illogical.
however, the truth was that long chen had really done it.
" so you're a super master in the eastern martial arts world. i've underestimated you. "
satan's expression grew serious.
then, satan ordered everyone to drive toward long chen.
bang bang bang.
in an instant, countless bullets drowned long chen.
however, there was a layer of hazy light on long chen's body that blocked all the bullets.
satan's face changed dramatically as he watched in disbelief.
his marksmanship was accurate, and it was also the skill he relied on to survive.
but in the face of a mysterious oriental dancer like long chen, who wasn't afraid of bullets, satan looked stupid and couldn't do anything to him.
long chen sneered,'is that all you have? then, it's my turn."
as soon as he finished speaking, long chen pulled xia ling into his arms and launched an attack with one hand.
but even so, long chen still displayed his terrifying combat power and speed, killing three people with one punch and not leaving a single step behind.
in the blink of an eye, everyone, including satan, had fallen to the ground. not a single one was left alive.
xia ling suddenly noticed the silence and couldn't help but ask, " "what's the situation now? can i take off my blindfold now?"
"not yet, but i'm fine now. let's go."
long chen left with xia ling in his arms.
after walking for a few hundred meters, long chen took off xia ling's blindfold.
xia ling glanced behind her and could vaguely see that there were a lot of people lying on the ground.
she was deeply shocked. those people were all holding onto their weapons, but long chen had dealt with them all by himself?
at this moment, xia ling felt that she couldn't see through long chen at all.
how much more did this mysterious and powerful man have that she did not know?
"are you still afraid?"
long chen asked softly.
" i'm not afraid anymore. the main thing is that i'm not afraid as long as you're here. "
xia ling whispered.
"when we get back, i'll start teaching you martial arts. at least, you have to be able to protect yourself."
long chen said with a smile.
he was not joking. after all, there was still a long way to go. as the development of dragondoctor jishi company became stronger and stronger, there would definitely be more and more covetous people.
if xia ling wanted to grow up safely, she had to possess great strength.
however, when xia ling heard long chen's words, she couldn't help but smile. " "i'm almost 30, and you want me to learn martial arts? stop joking."
" it's not too late even if you're 50. the main thing is that i'm here. i'm confident that i can train you. " long chen said.
"then, to what extent can it be considered cultivated?" xia ling asked with a smile.
"if you're just a little stronger than the world's best assassin, you'll be considered a master." long chen said.
xia ling was instantly stunned. would this really work?
"let's go back first,"
long chen pulled xia ling out of the forest.
xia ling's face was slightly red as she secretly looked at her hand that was being held. she secretly hoped that time would stop at this moment and that long chen would hold her hand forever.
however, long chen let xia ling go once they were out of the forest and on a flat road.
xia ling was instantly a little disappointed and even pouted her lips in anger.
"what's wrong?"
long chen asked.
"nothing, i'm just unhappy."
xia ling whispered.
" you must have a reason for that. could it be because of the kidnapping, you ... "
"no."
"what's that?"
long chen was curious.
after a moment of shyness, xia ling blushed and said, " " because you stopped holding my hand. you've been holding my hand all this time. when you suddenly stopped holding my hand, i ... i got angry and unhappy. "
"ha." "then why don't we just pull it again?" long chen couldn't help but laugh.
"i don't want to. the candy i want isn't sweet."
xia ling coldly snorted.
long chen didn't give her a chance to explain and took her hand again.
xia ling was stunned for a moment before the corners of her lips curled up uncontrollably.
it turned out that the candy that she stretched out her hand for could be very sweet.
twenty minutes later, long chen and xia ling got into the car and drove back to the city.
in the car, xia ling closed her eyes as she recalled everything that had happened today. she still had some lingering fear in her heart.
