Chapter 75: Loulan Night Battle

  After the rock wall, a man in black walked out. Under the moonlight, this jacketed man had golden hair and wore sunglasses, his eyes were invisible, wearing a crisp black jacket, with a robust figure, calm and wise, like a wolf king who was sizing up the situation.

  Xiao Yuan was also awakened from his light sleep, and he opened his sleepy eyes, rubbed them, and looked at the black shadow in the distance with a puzzled expression. He asked Li Ling, "What's going on? Have they arrived?"

  "Yes, the play has begun." Li Ling said calmly, looking vigilantly at the black-clad foreign agent.

  Xiao Yuan fixed his gaze on the man in black jacket, and was immediately stunned by the other's overwhelming aura. He sat back, it seemed that although Xiao Yuan had seen many wild beasts, he had never seen anyone who could emit such a terrifying killing intent.

  "Hand over the girl, or else. You're all going to die." The black-clad agent spoke in English, but Li Ling and Xiao Yuan both understood without any communication barriers.

  "Leave with your companion, or you will die too." Li Ling said in English, his eyes cold and detached as he looked at the black-clad agent.

  The man in black simply snorted and pulled out a black pistol from behind his back, aiming at Li Ling or Xiao Yuan without warning and fired two shots.

  Li Ling furrowed his brow, pulled Xiao Yuan and ran to the side. During the run, Xiao Yuan could even feel the bullets brushing past his forehead, scaring him so much that he was trembling all over. Fortunately, they soon found a wall to use as cover.

  Xiao Yuan was frightened and kept gasping for breath, hastily saying: "Thank you, if it wasn't for your quick reaction, I'm afraid I would have been shot and become a corpse by now."

  "This is not the time for thanks, hurry up and enter the hall, take care of Qing Jing, I'll handle this alone, having you by my side will only drag me down." Li Ling said quietly to Xiao Yuan while listening to the footsteps outside with his ear.

  Xiao Yuan looked at the opponent with a gun and knew it wasn't a fair fight, so he just nodded and grabbed Li Ling's arm, saying "You be careful."

  "It's okay." Li Ling patted Xiao Yuan's arm.

  Xiao Yuan touched the darkness and walked towards the temple behind him.

  Li Ling watched as Xiao Yuan walked into the hall, then focused his attention entirely on the ears above, where a special agent was approaching from the side of the wall, and another female special agent was also approaching from above the wall.

  Li Ling concentrated her attention, took a deep breath, squatted down, picked up the two stones at her feet, and rushed out towards the open space outside.

  The black-clad agent saw Li Ling rush out, slightly startled, and never expected that Li Ling would dare to rush out so openly in the direction of his side under the circumstances of being held at gunpoint, and the original ambush plan was thus foiled.

  Bang bang...

  Another burst of gunfire, Li Ling relied on his extremely high sensitivity to dodge the bullets one by one. While dodging, he threw out the two stones in his hand at the same time!

  He only heard a loud noise from the other side, and the gun in his hand was directly knocked off by Li Ling with a stone.

  Li Ling seized the opportunity to turn around, his feet fiercely kicking up dust and sand as he charged towards the black-clad special agent. With a flying leap, he used his knee joint to heavily press the black-clad special agent under his body, following up with two heavy punches that left the black-clad special agent groaning before losing consciousness.

  Another red-clad female agent on the wall saw the black-clad male agent being knocked unconscious and shouted, "Jackson!"

  Li Ling coldly smiled, picked up the handgun on the ground, turned around and fired two shots at the female special agent against the wall.

  The female agent was also formidable, pulling out a pair of knives with two loud clangs, and actually deflected the bullets. She flew down from the wall and swung her two blades in close proximity to slash at Li Ling.

  Li Ling dodged to the side, the knife edge grazing his abdomen as it passed by. The female agent was slightly startled, and the blade turned inward, sweeping horizontally towards Li Ling's abdomen. Li Ling fell backwards, his legs kicking out in mid-air... and landed squarely on the female agent's stomach. A muffled cry could be heard, and the female agent's body tumbled backward several meters, spitting out fresh blood as she fainted.

  Li Ling got up and walked over to the female agent, who was squatting down. He slapped her face a few times and saw that she had really fainted, only then did he feel at ease and walk into the hall.

  Because there were still two agents who had not appeared, it was clear that they had sneaked into the temple while fighting to support themselves.

  Li Ling swiftly turned around, just stepping into the hall, saw An Jing and Xiao Yuan hiding in a corner, Mandala single-handedly fighting two special agents. He then saw one of the windbreaker-clad special agents holding a flying knife, his wrist moving, shooting the flying knife towards Mandala. The speed of the flying knife was swift as the wind, Mandala's cicada-wing blade paused for a moment before chopping down, deflecting the flying knife and changing its direction.

  But the flying knife was controlled by a very thin iron wire like a strand of hair, and after being shot out, it was pulled back by the windbreaker agent, and then flew towards Mandrake again.

  On the other side, a female agent wearing a cloak held a crossbow and at the same time aimed at Mandrake and shot an arrow.

  When the flying knife and crossbow bolt launched a pincer attack, Mandala furrowed her brow, able to choose only one target. At this critical moment, she swung the Cicada Wing Blade horizontally at the iron wire connecting the flying knife, snapping it with a "ting" sound. The flying knife flew off its track, striking Mandala's left shoulder with a whooshing sound. Mandala's right hand, holding the Cicada Wing Blade, was instantly numbed by the impact on her left shoulder.

  But the crossbow arrow had reached the back of Mandala's heart at this moment. In this emergency, Li Ling widened his eyes, concentrated his mind, and a spiritual thought force spread out from him as the center, with great impact force pushing Mandala to fall sideways, dodging the crossbow arrow, which was also bent and fell to the ground due to the strong impact force.

  "Superpower!" The windy woman was slightly surprised, as if she had said a sentence, then nodded to the windy man, and the two jumped out of the temple door, quickly leaving the temple with the two unconscious agents outside.

  Li Ling hurriedly ran to Mandrake's side and helped him up, asking "Are you okay?"

  "It's alright, thank you, Junzhi." Mandala nodded slightly and said.

  "It's all right then." Li Ling said with relief.

  Xiao Yu and Xiao Yuan ran over quietly, Xiao Yuan asked in surprise: "Are those people really just ordinary people?"

  Li Ling shook his head and said, "These four people have very high combat strength, belonging to the first-class special agents. They were selected from a young age to serve the country and underwent training. Moreover, during the training process, they would be injected with drugs that could enhance cell strength!"

  "Will they come back?" asked An quietly, with a hint of unease in his eyes.

  "It won't happen for the time being, but it's not something to be optimistic about. Who knows, they might report to headquarters that one of our group members has superpowers, and maybe they'll send over an even more troublesome character. However, we should be safe for at least a month or so. This is exactly what Li Ling is worried about! In dealing with these issues, the other side will also rely on the power of their enemies and gradually increase the strength of those sent."

  "Their goal is Anjing, from today onwards, Mandoro you are in charge of protecting Anjing personally, not a single mistake is allowed." Li Ling instructed Mandoro.

  "Yes, General." Mandala slowly bowed her head.

  "You all go to sleep, I'll stay here and keep watch for the night, in case they launch another sneak attack." Li Ling felt that this matter was indeed very tricky. Because earlier, Li Ling had not fully exerted his strength, fearing that the opponent would see through his own strength and send out an even more formidable foe. After all, the opponent was a national-level power, with many hidden strongmen. Moreover, superpowered individuals were not nonexistent, but rather, no one would use their trump card until the critical moment arrived.
