The parking lot on the second basement level of Junlin Building.

Because the building is still under renovation, the underground parking lot is empty, with only a few emergency lights on.

Lin Li led Gu Xiaomeng toward the Audi Q5 parked in the corner.

Da, da, da.

The sound of their footsteps echoed in the empty garage, sounding somewhat abrupt.

Suddenly, Lin Li stopped in his tracks, his expression turning serious.

Something's wrong, there's someone here!

Gu Xiaomeng has an exceptionally strong sense of perception, especially after experiencing previous trauma, which gives her an almost animalistic intuition for danger.

She felt a sudden panic, her heart pounding, and instinctively reached out to grip Lin Li's large hand tightly.

"Don't be afraid."

Lin Li gently patted the back of her hand and whispered, "Get in the car. No matter what happens, don't get out."

Although Gu Xiaomeng was scared, she nodded, quickly walked to the passenger door, opened it, and got in.

"Come out."

After she got into the car, Lin Li coldly shouted at the empty garage, "Hiding your head and tail, what's there to hide?"

"Hehehe..."

A chilling laugh suddenly came from above.

The next second, a man wearing a silver bodysuit and a ghost mask suddenly appeared on the roof of the Audi Q5!

Clang!

A flash of cold light.

A slender samurai sword was instantly drawn, its tip pointing downwards, piercing through the metal roof of the vehicle!

"what!"

Inside the car, Gu Xiaomeng screamed in fright as she saw the sharp blade that suddenly appeared above her head, only centimeters from the top of her head.

"Lin Li."

The masked man on the roof looked at Lin Li and said in a harsh voice, "Kneel down."

Lin Li stared coldly at the knife tip embedded in the car and asked, "Who are you?"

"You can call me Faceless."

The masked man's long knife spun slightly, the blade scraping against the metal roof of the vehicle, producing a teeth-grinding "squeak" sound.

"I am the most loyal samurai of the Japanese royal family, and also the master of those 'bewitching spells'."

"The royal family of Japan?"

Lin Li scoffed, showing no intention of kneeling: "I thought you were some important person, but you're just a Japanese dog."

"What? Your master is too afraid to show his face and sent something like you to your death?"

"presumptuous!"

With a furious roar, the faceless man pressed his long sword down sharply.

Inside the car, Gu Xiaomeng could clearly feel the chill emanating from the blade, and even a few strands of her hair had been severed by the blade and were falling onto her legs.

"Kneel down!"

The faceless man shouted angrily, "Otherwise, I'll kill this woman right now!"

Lin Li's eye muscles twitched slightly.

If he were alone, this pretentious guy would have been dead long ago!

But now Gu Xiaomeng is in the car, and the knife tip is hanging over her head. If Wumian exerts even a little force, Gu Xiaomeng will surely die.

"Is this what you call royal glory?"

Although Lin Li dared not make a move, he still mocked, "He's using a defenseless disabled woman to save his own life and then using her to force his opponent to kneel."

"Tsk tsk tsk, I think you shouldn't be called Faceless anymore, Shameless and Trash would be more appropriate."

"Baka!"

Faceless, his sore spot touched, retorted angrily, "Since you won't kneel, then I'll kill her first, and then you!"

He gripped the knife handle with both hands, ready to stab it down forcefully.

Just then, Gu Xiaomeng in the car suddenly moved.

Although she couldn't hear the conversation outside, she understood everything through the reflection in the car window and Lin Li's expression.

The person on the roof of the car is threatening Lin Li with her life!

Lin Li didn't dare to fight back because he was saving her!

No!

Absolutely not!

Gu Xiaomeng turned around abruptly and reached for the car door handle.

She had to escape! Even if it meant death, she wouldn't let Lin Li suffer humiliation because of her!

"Don't move!"

Lin Li's pupils suddenly contracted when he saw Gu Xiaomeng's actions.

Gu Xiaomeng's move just put her in a dangerous situation!

puff!

The faceless man thrust his long sword down, the sharp blade instantly piercing through Gu Xiaomeng's left shoulder and back!

"Hmm!"

Gu Xiaomeng trembled in pain, her mouth agape but no sound came out, blood gushing from the wound and staining her white dress red.

She endured the excruciating pain, forcefully pushed open the car door, and rolled out of it, with only one thought in her mind: to get out of the car and give Lin Liting room to make his move!

"court death!"

His first strike, which failed to hit a vital point, was about to be swung again after he drew his longsword.

"You dare!!!"

Lin Li's eyes turned bloodshot, and he rushed out, leaving a trail of afterimages in the air.

Just as the long knife was about to strike Gu Xiaomeng, Lin Li grabbed her ankle, pulled her back forcefully, and shoved her back under the car seat.

At the same time, he suddenly spun to the side, barely avoiding the fatal blow.

Hiss!

The long knife ripped open Lin Li's shirt, leaving a bloody gash on his skin.

Using the force of his side spin, he clenched his right fist, which emitted a visible pale golden heat wave, and slammed it hard against the Faceless one on the roof of the car.

"Get the hell down here!"

boom!

The air was filled with crackling and popping sounds.

The expression beneath the faceless mask changed drastically, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Internal energy being released externally?! This is... Yang Fire True Qi?!"

He didn't dare to take the hit head-on, so he pushed off the roof of the car with both feet and flew backward.

boom!

Although Lin Li's fist did not hit Wumian, the force of the punch slammed into the roof of the Audi Q5.

Boom!

The hard roof suddenly bulged out in a large chunk, causing the entire vehicle to shake violently and the alarm to go off.

The faceless figure landed a dozen meters away, long sword in hand, staring at Lin Li with a look of surprise and uncertainty: "You...you really know this technique?!"

Lin Li ignored him and quickly checked Gu Xiaomeng's injuries.

Gu Xiaomeng's face was deathly pale, and the wound on her left shoulder was still bleeding profusely. Her consciousness was beginning to fade.

"Xiao Meng! Xiao Meng!"

Lin Li reached out and pressed several acupoints on her, temporarily stopping the bleeding.

"You lowly wretch, today is your death day!"

Distracted by not being able to see Lin Li, he charged forward again with his knife.

Just then.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

Several plum blossom darts, carrying a sharp gust of wind, headed straight for Faceless's face.

Faceless had no choice but to stop and parry with his sword.

Ding Ding Ding!

Sparks flew everywhere!

Several figures emerged from the shadows.

Leading the group was Dugu Yan, dressed in a plain-colored cheongsam, followed by Ye Yaojia and the two boys.

Dugu Yan snorted coldly and said, "Those scoundrels from Great Ying dare to run wild on my Chinese territory?"

When Wumian saw Dugu Yan, his eyes narrowed: "Dugu Yan? You want to get involved in this?"

"To draw one's sword and help those in need is the duty of us martial artists."

Dugu Yan glanced at Lin Li, who was stopping Gu Xiaomeng's bleeding, and said indifferently, "Besides, although this kid is useless, he is still that old man's disciple."
