At this moment, Lin Tian raised his arm intending to continue his attack, but the Mid Term Realm Grandmaster using Dark Strength was already recoiling in another direction. Simultaneously, a cold flash was released from his body towards Lin Tian.

Lin Tian had keen eyes, he instantly determined that it was a flying knife, and this knife carried a powerful destructive force.

Lin Tian, after all, was a robot with the strength of the initial stage of Dark Strength. Not only was his attack power formidable, but his construction materials were also extraordinary, designed to bring out the power of the initial stage Dark Strength. His defenses were just as good. Seeing the cold flash, he had no choice but to dodge.

Otherwise, if hit in a vital spot, his strength would decrease, or even worse, he might cease to function.

If that happened, he wouldn't be able to continue attacking the Mid Term Realm Grandmaster anymore, granting the Grandmaster a chance to escape unscathed.

However, the fact that he could shatter the arm of this Mid Term Realm Grandmaster with a single blow was truly astonishing.

"What is this?!"

The two initial stage Dark Strength Grandmasters who were attacking Lin Tian were taken aback by this scene and retreated in unison.

Did Lin Tian possess such formidable hidden strength?

Was he purposefully feigning weakness just now?

What a ruthless scheme!

He had managed to ensnare a Mid Term Realm Grandmaster in such a cunning trap...

Had Lin Tian unexpectedly attacked them just now, could they have managed to dodge in time?

With these thoughts, they felt a chill down their spines.

After all, they only had one life to live.

Seeing that he could no longer seize the initiative, Lin Tian vanished in a flash, quickly heading towards the room where Xia Qingqing had taken refuge.

He still needed to ensure Xia Qingqing's safety.

And he was ready to do it, even at the cost of his life.

...

Inside a luxurious suite in the Qingyun Hotel.

"Boss, you didn't see it, but those people... their power is terrifying. With every punch and kick, walls crumbled like tofu. I bet even a Peak Dark Strength expert couldn't do that. They are definitely Dark Strength Grandmasters. And there was a gunfight too.

As comfortable as the Qingyun Hotel is, it's far too dangerous..." someone exclaimed in terror.

"They were definitely targeting Lin Yun. I have seen that girl before. I asked the staff here, and they told me she was their female boss and Lin Yun's girlfriend..." someone said in a grave voice.

These people were actually part of Lang Jiuping's team.

"Boss, right now, we have a sort of partnership with Lin Yun. Should we step in?" someone hesitated.

However, as soon as this man finished speaking, the one who had spoken earlier slapped him on the head, angrily exclaiming: "What the hell! Step in? Didn't you hear what I just said? The opponent has Dark Strength Grandmasters. Do you understand what that means? And they have lots of guns!

Look at our limited strength and equipment. Are we really going there to die?"

"Unexpectedly, those targeting the Qingyun Hotel have a lot of guts. I suspect the Qingyun Hotel has been isolated. Their power is incredible. For now, all we can do is sit tight. There're a lot of people in this hotel, so they should have specific targets and won't randomly attack others.

Otherwise, Little Seven and Little Eight wouldn't have returned unharmed..." Lang Jiuping assumed a grim expression.

In fact, he was not quite sure whether they would be targeted since the Qingyun Hotel was currently closed for business but they were inside. Now, he could only gamble. Little Seven was right. The enemy's power was too great. If they intervened, there was only one way out: death.

Surprisingly, the Qingyun Hotel, or rather, Lin Yun had Dark Strength Grandmasters on his side. He had underestimated Lin Yun's strength. Had he known Lin Yun had such capabilities, he would have hesitated about coming here.

He was fully aware how formidable a Dark Strength Grandmaster could be. If a Grandmaster targeted them, his team wouldn't stand a chance.

He conjectured that such a formidable team came all the way here probably because they knew Lin Yun had a Dark Strength Grandmaster on his side.

Lang Jiuping sighed inwardly.

Just like the saying that those who stay near the water will get wet, they had been through all sorts of dangers abroad but had managed to survive. Now, they had ended up in a potentially fatal situation in a supposedly safe city.

...

Outside the Qingyun Hotel, the moment gunfire erupted from inside, many people in camouflage appeared. They cordoned off the area, following a plan that had been made in advance.

"What happened at the Qingyun Hotel?"

"Seems like the sound of an explosion?"

"So many soldiers are blocking the way…"

Some people mused, pointing and gossiping at the Qingyun Hotel.

"Hey, big guy, what's going on in the Qingyun Hotel?" A daring young man asked.

"We're conducting a terror attack drill. Stay away, some of these weapons are lethal. We have protective gear, but you don't..." replied a man with a stern face, his body cloaked in camouflage and face smeared with grease paint.

In truth, they didn't know what was taking place inside either. However, it was their superior's order to establish a blockade and forbid ordinary people from approaching. The justification given was that it was a terror drill.

They dimly surmised that something unusual must have occurred.

Nonetheless, it wasn't their place to inquire. All they had to do was obey orders.

…

"Damn it! To think I'd lose an arm! Despicable! Absolutely Despicable!" Inside Qingyun Hotel, the mid-term realm Grandmaster, Huajin, who had regained consciousness, roared angrily.

The strength of martial artists lay in their bodies. Losing an arm, he lost much of his strength, and this infuriated him greatly.

He never thought there would be such heavy losses in this mission.

He had believed it to be a success guaranteed. He had held back earlier in anticipation of capturing the enemy more easily…

Unexpectedly, the enemy had such a decisive trump card, such deceptive tactics. Looking back, if the two comrades and him had attacked together, taking advantage of their combined strength as Huajin Grandmasters along with his continuous vigilance, they might not have ended up in such a mess.

It was, in the end, his dismissal of caution and eager anticipation for an opportunistic moment to strike that had put him where he was.

He had underestimated the enemy, only to be outsmarted in return.

This evoked a profound sense of frustration.

"Bang——"

With his remaining arm, he punched a hole in the wall of the room where Lin Tian and his group had taken cover.

"Whoosh——"

A chilling white light immediately shot out of the hole. Thankfully, the Grandmaster's quick reflexes saved him from another blow.

The flaws of technological weapons were clear - regardless of their power, if they didn't hit the target, they were useless.

While some high-tech weapons could lock onto enemies, they generally had one drawback - they were slow. Powerful individuals, like the mid-term realm Huajin Grandmaster, could react promptly and use various items to guard against such attacks.

Or simply evade them more easily.

Superior weapons that could lock onto targets at a high speed were available, but they were not cost-effective. It was better to purchase more average weapons for cross attacks.

"Use heavy weaponry!" Watching these events unfold, the Huajin mid-term Grandmaster's face turned even more livid, gritting his teeth.

Normally, he would despise resorting to heavy artillery, dealing with things via martial arts prowess instead.

However, under the current circumstances, he didn't care.

He wished they had missiles to reduce the room into dust.

"What about Xia Qingqing…" the leader hesitated.

"Don't worry about her safety. I'll take responsibility for any consequences!" The mid-term Huajin Grandmaster glared at the man and said coldly.

"Yes...yes…" the leader nodded in rapid succession.

Although he was the leader of the group, these three Huajin Grandmasters didn't fall under his control. Especially, this mid-term realm Huajin Grandmaster was reputedly dispatched by a top-tier force. He didn't dare to contradict this man's commands.
