We agreed on the twelve zodiac animals, but you've transformed into the Monkey King?

The rain was pouring down as if the sky were leaking.

Meng Huai's gaze pierced through the shattered car window, fixed on the blurry outline of the Shenbao building in the rain.

There were lights in that building, but they were very dim, as if they might go out at any moment.

Wen Xiao noticed Meng Huai's uncontrollable gaze. He didn't know what secret Meng Huai was hiding in that building, but at the moment he had no intention of putting on any superior demeanor.

In the suffocating darkness, Wen Xiao reached out and patted Meng Huai on the shoulder.

"Take a deep breath, Meng Huai." Wen Xiao's voice wasn't loud. "No matter what you care about in that building, believe me, that building won't collapse tonight."

Meng Huai was taken aback, then gritted his teeth and nodded.

Wen Xiao quickly took off his black suit jacket and placed it on the steering wheel, posing as the driver. "I'll count to three, you turn on the high beams, and I'll use my cane to slam on the gas."

"Detective, I'll cover you—"

"No, you run back to the concession along the ditch." Wen Xiao interrupted him, her eyes leaving no room for doubt. "They're after me. With you here, I can't act freely."

"one two three!"

"Boom!" Meng Huai shoved the high beam switch on, while Wen Xiao simultaneously used his folding cane to slam the accelerator pedal shut!

The heavy Ford sedan's engine roared, charging forward like a mad bull!

"Bang!" The sniper on the roof of the Shenbao building fired again, and the third bullet shattered the driver's side window and tore the suit jacket to shreds!

In that split second, the two kicked open the car door and tumbled awkwardly into a muddy ditch.

"Go!" Wen Xiao shouted in a low voice, and pushed Meng Huai into the depths of the alley.

Beneath the water tower on the right, a steel chain sickle, accompanied by a piercing shriek that seemed to tear through the air, lunged straight for Wen Xiao's throat like a venomous snake.

Wen Xiao didn't have time to draw his gun. He fell backward violently, executing a low, sweeping motion across the ground. The barbs of the scythe grazed his chin, drawing a drop of blood.

Did you manage to dodge it?

Suddenly, the chain changed its trajectory in mid-air in a bizarre way, instantly wrapping around Wen Xiao's left thigh.

With a low growl like a wild beast, the other party exerted force and actually dragged Wen Xiao out of the muddy water!

A sharp pain shot through his thigh, and Wen Xiao quickly pulled out the Browning from his waist.

He didn't aim at the monster dragging him, but instead slightly turned the muzzle of his gun.

"Bang! Bang!" Two shots!

The bullet shattered the valve of the main fire hose hanging above! A high-pressure water jet gushed out with a "boom," instantly forming a dense water mist barrier in the alleyway along with the torrential rain.

It's 1.5 seconds.

"Pfft!" Four hundred meters away, the third sniper bullet pierced through the water mist on time and hit Wen Xiao's original spot blindly.

Wen Xiao suddenly tensed his left leg and exerted force, like a black dragon leaping out of the water, bursting up along the ground with the pull of the chains! He smashed through the water mist and directly rushed into the inner circle of the kusarigama ninja.

The opponent was shocked. Just as he was about to raise the shortened shotgun in his left hand, Wen Xiao's left hand, with fingers pointing like a knife, unleashed the explosive power of his Crane Eye Fist, striking the opponent's elbow tendon hard. The shotgun flew out of his hand, and Wen Xiao's right Browning shotgun was pressed directly against the opponent's chin.

"Bang!"

His head exploded, and the black night-walking mask was blown off by the blast. In the dim flash of the gunfire, Wen Xiao saw a deformed ape face covered in coarse black hair and with protruding fangs!

Wen Xiao's pupils contracted, but the relentless killing intent gave him no time to think.

"Zheng—!"

The mist split in two, and the samurai ninja arrived like a ghost.

The blade, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, slashed down head-on!

Wen Xiao decisively abandoned his gun, clasped his hands together, and surprisingly used a dangerous move called "empty-handed catching a blade" to catch the blade coming at him head-on!

The immense force of the blow forced Wen Xiao's knees to bend, and blood dripped from his palms down the blade. The two engaged in a deadly struggle in the muddy water.

In that life-or-death stalemate, Shenhou's combat instincts suddenly sounded a death alarm even sharper than when facing a sniper rifle!

A dark shadow suddenly fell from mid-air, its sound as light as a weightless leaf. Two poisoned daggers silently pierced Wen Xiao's skull.

There's a fourth ninja!

There was no way to avoid it, and no way to retreat.

A fierce glint flashed in Wen Xiao's eyes. In the final two seconds before the dagger reached his body, he made a move of exquisite precision.

He suddenly released his grip on the katana!

The ninja with the sword was pressing down with all his might, but suddenly lost all resistance. Even with his powerful core strength, he staggered forward half a step uncontrollably.

Wen Xiao then hunched over, straightened his back, and lay back, crashing straight into the mud.

The instant his back hit the ground, he bent his knees and pulled in his stomach, his legs snapping upwards like springs suddenly breaking! His feet struck the stomach of the ninja who was staggering forward with his sword.

Rabbit kicks eagle!

The massive body was sent flying as if struck by a heavy hammer, passing right above Wen Xiao. It met the Gecko Ninja descending from the sky head-on.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

The Gecko Ninja's two poisoned daggers, which were lowered by the full force of his body weight, plunged into his companion's nape and back without reservation.

The ninja wielding the knife had his cervical vertebrae severed by a poisoned blade, and he was already a corpse when he hit the ground.

But the gecko ninja rolled on the ground to dissipate the impact. He then pulled out a dagger embedded in the bones of the corpse, kicked hard, and pounced like a tiger, straddling Wen Xiao's chest.

That was the gap between the passing of old strength and the emergence of new strength.

The short dagger, gleaming with a ghostly blue poisonous light, was aimed at Wen Xiao's eyeballs and plunged down fiercely!

"Crunch—"

Wen Xiao didn't even have time to get up. He crossed his arms and barely managed to hold the ninja's wrist as he gripped the sword.

The sound of their bones grinding together in the rain was sickening. The ninja had placed almost his entire weight on the tiny tip of the blade.

Wen Xiao's arms were bulging with veins, but it wasn't a comfortable direction to exert force.

The tip of the poisoned blade was just an inch away from his pupil.

"Bang!"

A shot from a Type 38 police revolver suddenly rang out deep in the alley.

A burst of blood erupted from the ninja's shoulder. The immense kinetic energy from the bullet striking his bone caused half of his body to lurch violently, and the poisoned blade he had been pressing down on veered off course by half a finger's width in mid-air.

Wen Xiao let out a roar like a trapped beast. Taking advantage of that momentary shift in his center of gravity, he suddenly grabbed the other's wrist and twisted it upwards, his right hand cupped around the hilt of the dagger from below!

"Pfft!"

This push utilized the immense force of the Gecko Ninja's downward thrust. The sharp, poisoned blade reversed direction, and before he could react, Wen Xiao plunged it viciously into his jaw!

The knife tip pierced through the tongue and palate, finally penetrating straight into the cerebral cortex.

Wen Xiao's eyes flashed with ferocity. He flipped over and straddled the monster's mangled body. His right hand swiftly drew the Mauser pistol from his waist, pressed it against the monster's eye socket, and frantically pulled the trigger at point-blank range.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The red and white liquid exploded in the flames.
