"Sir, please bear with it."

In the abandoned warehouse, a man in black codenamed "Soul Five" was using his personal medicine and splints to treat Ghost Seven's limp left arm.

"hiss……"

The moment the powder touched the swollen flesh, Gui Qi's body tensed up, and the veins on his forehead bulged out.

He gritted his teeth and stopped making a sound.

Soul Five moved swiftly, pinpointing the misaligned bone, and slammed his hands together forcefully.

"Click!"

The crisp sound of bones snapping back into place was particularly jarring in the silent warehouse.

Large beads of cold sweat rolled down Gui Qi's forehead, and his mouth was already full of the taste of blood.

Hunwu quickly wrapped Ghost Seven's arm tightly with layers of clean linen, and then tied a knot that was impossible to untie.

"Alright, sir."

"call--"

Gui Qi let out a long breath, and his tense body finally relaxed a little.

Body Tempering Level 6...

These four words weighed heavily on his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.

From the moment he entered the "Gate of Hell," he lived a life of constant danger, cultivating himself amidst life and death.

Thirty years of arduous cultivation have barely allowed me to reach the fourth level of mastery.

But how old is that remnant of the Lin family?

How is that possible?

Perhaps, it's not sixfold.

It's just my imagination...

Gui Qi felt a moment of disorientation.

They even began to doubt whether they were under some kind of profound illusion.

Just then.

"Thump."

A dull thud came from the warehouse entrance.

Gui Qi suddenly looked up.

One of the men who was standing guard at the door, who had been in a vigilant posture, suddenly fell straight backward.

On the back of his head, an inconspicuous hole was slowly oozing blood.

"Enemy attack!"

Hun Wu shouted and immediately drew his sword to protect Gui Qi.

The other two henchmen also reacted, leaning back to back and tightly protecting Gui Qi, who had just stood up, in the center.

Three pairs of terrified eyes stared intently at the empty entrance to the warehouse.

There was no one there.

Only a gentle breeze stirred up a few withered leaves, which swirled in.

The warehouse was deathly silent.

Everyone could clearly hear their own heartbeat and the heavy breathing of their companions.

The unknown is the most terrifying.

"Who?!"

"Get out here!"

One of the men in black finally couldn't withstand the pressure and roared out, his voice trembling uncontrollably.

However, his response was a sharp whistling sound.

"puff!"

The man in black stared in disbelief at the new bloody hole in his chest.

However, what pierced through his armor and internal organs was an ordinary pebble.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but a mouthful of blood gushed out, and his body went limp and he collapsed.

"puff!"

Almost at the same time, there was another slight muffled thud.

Another lookout had a line of blood spurt from between his eyebrows, and he fell backward without even uttering a sound.

From beginning to end, they didn't even see a shadow of the enemy.

Gui Qi felt a chill run down his spine.

Without saying a word, he grabbed the only surviving member beside him, Soul Five, and abruptly hid behind a pile of haystacks.

That was the only blind spot in the entire warehouse.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

The sound of unhurried footsteps finally rang out from the warehouse entrance.

A tall, slender figure strolled in leisurely.

He tilted his head and looked at the haystack with great interest.

"Come out."

"I can see your feet."

A seemingly casual remark sent a chill down Gui Qi's spine from behind the haystack.

It's that guy Lin Mo!?

How is that possible?!

Gui Qi's mind went blank with a buzzing sound.

This outpost was their prepared escape route, its location extremely well-hidden, and its retreat route completely eliminated any potential spying.

How did this monster even manage to follow us here?!

Gui Qi was shocked, and cold sweat slid down his forehead.

It’s over.

Can't run away.

With the strength he has shown so far, this terrifying power that can pierce through a skull with a thrown stone is something he simply cannot contend with.

die?

No.

He cannot die.

He, Gui Qi, is the most outstanding assassin of this generation of "Ghost Gate" and the most trusted weapon of the Third Young Master.

To reach the fourth level of Body Tempering, he endured countless inhuman tortures and carried out numerous life-or-death missions!

He still has a bright future ahead of him. As long as he can return alive this time and report this earth-shattering incident involving Lin Mo, it will be a tremendous achievement!

How could I possibly die in such a godforsaken place?!

In a flash, countless thoughts flashed through Gui Qi's mind.

Finally, all thoughts froze into a cold decision.

His gaze slowly shifted to the only surviving companion beside him.

Soul Five.

At this moment, Soul Five's face was deathly pale, and his hand holding the knife was trembling violently with fear.

He felt Gui Qi's gaze, and like a drowning man grasping at a last straw, he lowered his voice and asked urgently:

"M-Master...what do we do now?"

What should I do?

Gui Qi looked at him, then suddenly patted Hun Wu's shoulder with his intact right hand, his voice completely calm:

"Soul Five, don't panic, I'm here."

Hun Wu was taken aback, seemingly finding a glimmer of strength in Gui Qi's words, and the panic in his eyes subsided slightly.

"On my command, we'll charge out together. I'll lead the attack, you cover me. Remember, for the Ghost Gate!"

"Yes, sir!"

Hun Wu nodded, placing all his trust and hope in the leader he had sworn to follow to the death.

However, he didn't see it.

When Gui Qi uttered the words "for the Ghost Gate," a fleeting indifference flashed in his eyes.

"Three...two..."

"one……"

"Rush!"

Gui Qi roared.

Soul Five shuddered and instinctively tried to gather his strength and rush out!

But in that instant, a violent force he never dreamed of struck him from behind!

"Bang!"

"Ugh!"

Soul Five let out a muffled groan, a mixture of shock and pain.

Like a sack being thrown out, he flew involuntarily out of the haystack, staggered, and uncontrollably lunged towards the young man's figure in the center of the warehouse!

The intense pain and shock made him turn around instantly.

What he saw was Gui Qi's extremely cold face.

And then there were those words that drifted into his ears, colder than the biting wind from beyond the Great Wall.

"Soul Five, the time has come to serve the Ghost Gate!"

Why...

Soul Five's eyes were filled with incomprehension and despair.

He regarded Gui Qi as a leader to whom he could entrust his life.

Ghost Seven took him...

When a dog is used to buy time to escape...
