C99 Mysterious Faction!

Zhang Chen let out a loud cry as he lunged toward Third Brother's position!

His shout was as much to embolden himself as anything else.

Zhang Chen's heart was pounding so hard it was shaking!

A thud echoed through the air!

Caught completely off guard, Third Brother was tackled to the ground by Zhang Chen!

Lin Zhiqing's eyes were wide with astonishment, sparkling with delight!

Their scuffle had caught the attention of the trio nearby!

Eldest Brother bellowed, "Finish off that woman, now!"

Loong San spoke with grave intensity, "Hold on for thirty seconds!"

Zhang Chen's nerves tightened at the command.

Thirty seconds?

He doubted he could last even three!

A sinister gleam flickered briefly in Third Brother's eyes.

"Watch out!" Lin Zhiqing cried out in alarm.

That snapped Zhang Chen back to reality.

But Third Brother's foot was already pressing against Zhang Chen's chest.

Then, a massive force surged toward Zhang Chen!

He was flipped onto the ground in an instant!

Third Brother rose swiftly to his feet, his fist arcing down toward Lin Zhiqing once more!

Lin Zhiqing was frozen in place!

Desperation gripped Zhang Chen. Clenching his teeth, he wrapped his arms around Third Brother's thigh, halting his advance with sheer force!

He bit down viciously!

A wave of salty and sour stench hit Zhang Chen instantly!

Third Brother let out a cry of agony and kicked at Zhang Chen's head!

Zhang Chen recoiled in shock, scrambling to his feet.

"You dare bite me?" Third Brother seethed with fury.

Zhang Chen ignored him, his face a mask of complex emotions.

Both Third Brother and Lin Zhiqing were bewildered.

What had just happened?

After a moment, Zhang Chen retched and spat out with revulsion, "When's the last time you washed your feet? They reek!"

Third Brother felt humiliated.

"You're going to pay for that!"

Fury consumed Third Brother, his eyes flashing with a brutal light.

Zhang Chen saw something in Third Brother's gaze he'd never encountered before: a lethal intent!

In the next instant, Third Brother charged at Zhang Chen, his fist hurtling toward Zhang Chen's face!

Lin Zhiqing's anxiety peaked.

This was it!

The same realization dawned on Zhang Chen.

These were no ordinary men, and he stood no chance against Third Brother.

Zhang Chen was frozen in shock!

In his moment of despair, Loong San's voice boomed, "Have you forgotten all your training? Take cover now!"

That snapped Zhang Chen back to reality.

Third Brother's move was just a simple straight punch, the same kind Loong San had used on him.

Realizing this, Zhang Chen's eyes sparkled with recognition.

He could evade it!

With agility, Zhang Chen shifted to the right.

Third Brother's fist grazed Zhang Chen's hair—he narrowly escaped the punch!

Zhang Chen's eyes grew wide as a surge of elation filled him.

Both Third Brother and Lin Zhiqing were dumbfounded, their eyes reflecting sheer bewilderment.

How had Zhang Chen managed to dodge that lightning-fast punch?

Loong San gave a nod of approval before immersing himself fully in the fray.

Third Brother, seething with anger, clenched his teeth and launched another punch.

Zhang Chen, buoyed by newfound confidence, began to dodge with increased speed.

Indeed, Third Brother's punches were significantly slower than Loong San's.

Zhang Chen deftly sidestepped the blow.

His feet were planted firmly as if glued to the spot, yet his body swayed with the fluidity of a spring, dodging left and right.

Third Brother threw another punch.

And again, Zhang Chen dodged with ease.

Third Brother unleashed five rapid punches, but he couldn't lay a finger on Zhang Chen.

Eldest Brother bellowed, "Third Brother! What are you doing?"

Third Brother's expression turned stormy. With teeth gritted, he launched himself into the air, his leg shooting out in a kick aimed straight at Zhang Chen's chest.

Zhang Chen's heart raced, his smile freezing in place.

"You're playing dirty!" Zhang Chen cried out in anger.

Retreating step by step, he was at a loss for how to evade.

Hadn't thirty seconds passed yet?

In a flash, Third Brother was upon him.

Zhang Chen's pupils shrank, bracing for the fall.

But in that split-second of doom, Loong San's silhouette entered his view.

He too soared into the air, landing a solid kick on Third Brother's chest.

Third Brother was sent hurtling through the air like a missile!

Zhang Chen was left gaping in astonishment.

Had he just been rescued?

Eldest Brother and Laoer were now writhing in agony on the ground.

Loong San stood towering before him.

Breathing a heavy sigh of relief, Zhang Chen wasted no time. He dashed to Lin Zhiqing's side and swiftly untied the ropes binding her.

Lin Zhiqing's expression was a mix of emotions, her nerves still rattled from the ordeal.

Struggling to his feet, the Eldest Brother wiped away the blood at the corner of his mouth and sneered venomously, "I never expected such a small place as Ningzhou to harbor a master like this."

"We let our guard down today. But next time, I swear, your lives will be mine!"

His voice brimmed with loathing, and a palpable aura of intimidation swiftly enveloped the space.

Zhang Chen and Lin Zhiqing felt a sudden tightness in their chests.

Loong San's eyes narrowed as he uttered icily, "You think you're leaving today?"

With a wild laugh, the Eldest Brother retorted just as coldly, "I concede you're formidable, but when we decide to leave, no one can hold us back!"

Loong San's brow furrowed instantly at those words.

He lunged at the Eldest Brother in a flash!

With a sinister grin, the Eldest Brother pulled a bead from his chest and hurled it to the ground with all his might!

The dull roar of an explosion echoed through the air.

Loong San's pupils shrank. Instinctively, he dashed to Zhang Chen and Lin Zhiqing, shielding them resolutely behind him.

Smoke swiftly engulfed the factory.

When it finally cleared after what seemed an eternity, they had vanished.

Zhang Chen and Lin Zhiqing stood there, stunned.

With a grave tone, Loong San declared, "They've used Shenyin!"

Shenyin?
