The Hunter's Path: Starting as a constable, ascend to the Old Ones.

Skill--

sneak!

Lu Ming gripped his sidearm, his body swayed, and he seemed to detach from the real world, becoming dim and inconspicuous, so much so that one could hardly notice his presence at first glance.

He and Chen Jiaju hung behind Ma Jun, scanning the surrounding area with their "eagle eyes".

Wang Bao's hideout was located in a large building. The front entrance faced a bustling street, while the back entrance was a narrow alleyway, exclusively for internal personnel to enter and exit.

Well!

Just as the three of them were walking quickly toward the alley behind the building, Lu Ming's gaze narrowed slightly, he paused, and reached out to grab Chen Jiaju.

"Ah Ming, what happened?"

Chen Jiaju remained on edge, constantly watching Lu Ming and Ma Jun, which allowed him to remain immune to the effects of stealth. However, he also looked at Lu Ming with some confusion, as he found Lu Ming to be like a fog, someone who could disappear from his sight at any moment.

This feeling is indescribably strange.

There are people in the alley.

Lu Ming reminded him in a low voice.

In his eagle-eyed view, a blond-haired man was standing in the back alley, constantly tossing short knives. He looked at Ma Jun, who was slowly walking into the alley with a mocking smile, and said, "Officer Ma, are you in such a hurry to die?"

It's him, the blond war god Aji!

Lu Ming immediately recognized Aji's identity and quickly scanned the back alley. His expression was strangely odd. Aji was the only person in the alley, and more importantly, Aji did not pose any threat to him, which meant that the person was not carrying a gun.

This guy dared to single-handedly stop the cavalry with just a short knife?

Lu Ming was very confused. Had he always been this brave? Wasn't he afraid that the cavalry would bring guns?

Even the most skilled martial artist is afraid of a kitchen knife.

Unless you, Ah Ji, are a martial arts master who can fly and escape, how dare you use a cold weapon to block the cavalry who might be carrying firearms?

Could there be another ambush?

Lu Ming cautiously used his eagle eye to observe.

With money in one hand and a retractable baton pulled from his back with the other, Ma Jun stared intently at Aji without saying a word, his eyes flashing with a chilling murderous intent.

The two stood facing each other for a while without saying a word. The air seemed to freeze at that moment, and only their heavy breathing echoed in the alley.

Aji twisted his neck, his joints cracking. Suddenly, he threw his short knife forward and then darted out like a cheetah. The knife spun in mid-air before falling. As he charged forward, he grabbed the hilt, gave a soft shout, and pounced on the cavalry.

Ma Jun threw off his travel bag, gripped the extendable baton, and charged forward.

Clang!

The telescopic baton and the short knife made a crisp sound when they collided.

"Do we need your help?"

Chen Jiaju, holding a gun, leaned against the wall at the street corner and slowly peeked out with one eye to see what was happening in the back alley. Ma Jun was wielding an extendable baton and fighting with a blond-haired man wielding a knife.

The two exchanged blows, their strength evenly matched.

Master!

He watched the two men's skills and secretly admired them.

"Let's see how things go."

Lu Ming trusted Ma Jun's abilities. He kept changing his perspective to observe the surroundings, preventing anyone from shooting from some hidden corner. After rounds of probing, he finally confirmed that only Aji was guarding the entire back alley.

Was Wang Bao confident that Aji could defeat Ma Jun? Or was he confident that Ma Jun would never bring any help?

Lu Ming said he didn't understand.

Clang! Clang!

In the back alley, Ah Ji brandished his short knife with a fierce look in his eyes, slashing wildly at Ma Jun. Every move was aimed at vital points, and each slash was accompanied by the sound of wind, as if he wanted to tear Ma Jun to pieces.

Ma Jun could only dodge constantly, wielding his telescopic baton with incredible speed and precision, barely managing to block Aji's attacks.

The two figures moved quickly through the narrow alley, the sounds of collisions, panting, and the clanging of metal mingling together like a frenzied symphony.

Just then, Ma Jun deliberately created an opening, causing Aji to miss with his strike, his body leaning forward uncontrollably, and he lost his strength.

A fierce glint flashed in Ma Jun's eyes, and he suddenly swung out his extendable baton, aiming straight for Aji's face.

The telescopic baton made a whooshing sound as it cut through the air.

Hearing the sound, Aji was shocked and instinctively turned his head. The telescopic baton grazed his cheek and struck his ear directly. His fragile ear was shattered by the blow, and blood gushed out instantly, staining half of his face red.

"Go to hell!"

The next moment, Ah Ji's shrill scream rang out in the alley. He covered his bleeding ears and staggered back, his ferocious face full of pain and anger.

Ma Jun pressed his advantage, taking advantage of Ah Ji's unsteady stance to pounce on him and punch him in the stomach, causing him to bend over like a cooked shrimp, retching in pain.

Clang!

Ma Jun delivered a flying kick to Aji's wrist, which was gripping the knife. Aji felt a sharp pain in his wrist, as if it were broken, and instinctively let go. The short knife flew out and crashed to the ground.

"asshole!"

Aji gritted his teeth and charged forward, grabbing Ma Jun's waist and pushing him forward repeatedly. Ma Jun staggered backward, raising his telescopic baton and striking Aji's back repeatedly, producing dull thuds as if his skin was being torn apart.

Almost instantly, blood seeped from Aji's back, staining his white suit red. He suddenly gritted his teeth and unleashed a burst of brute force, shoving Ma Jun aside. He then let go, stepped back to create distance, glared fiercely at Ma Jun, rushed toward his fallen dagger, gripped it tightly in his hand, and prepared for the next attack.

"Officer Ma, get down!"

Just then, Ma Jun heard a cold voice, felt a shiver run down his spine for no apparent reason, and instinctively lunged to the side.

Boom! !

With two gunshots, bullets grazed past his body and struck Ah-Ji in the blink of an eye.

Ah Ji's eyes widened, and he glanced at Lu Ming, who was standing at the street corner firing his gun, with a look of resentment on his face. His body fell to the ground with a thud, and his sharp dagger, covered in blood, lay scattered to the side.

Looking at the familiar scene before him, Ma Jun couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Lu Ming was really daring to fire a gun, not afraid of taking him down with him.

What does it mean that Wang Bao let a blond-haired guy block the road here?

When Chen Jiaju saw Lu Ming kill Aji with two shots, he immediately emerged from behind the wall with a look of confusion on his face, unable to see what Wang Bao and the others had done.

"Wang Bao and his men were too arrogant, thinking they could take down Inspector Ma by sending just one thug."

Lu Ming felt a warmth rising within his body due to the "Hunting" skill. Looking at Aji lying dead on the ground with his eyes wide open, he couldn't help but shake his head.

Ah Ji has helped Wang Bao kill people for so many years without ever failing, which has led to his arrogant and conceited personality. He believes that he can kill his enemies as soon as he makes a move.

They have absolutely no idea that there are always people more capable than you.

This time, there really are people more capable than you.

With Lu Ming and Chen Jiaju standing behind Ma Jun, even if Aji were to miraculously defeat Ma Jun, he would not survive.

From the moment he stood guard over the cavalry alone in the back alley, his fate was sealed.

"Wang Bao is on the top floor. We'll proceed according to plan. Officer Ma, you take the money to distract Wang Bao and his gang. Jiaju and I will each sneak in to rescue them or launch an ambush."

"Walk."
