Shen Manshu and Xiao Huan were slightly taken aback.
"What's going on, Xiao Huan? Go out and take a look!" Shen Manshu ordered.
Xiao Huan nodded and quickly went outside.
Unexpectedly, just as she reached the door, a masked man in black rushed in and swung a large knife at her head.
"ah--"
Xiao Huan screamed in terror.
However, it was at this crucial moment that...
Two young men dressed in martial arts uniforms suddenly rushed in, and the two attacked the man in black under the armpits.
The man in black's expression hardened, and he had no choice but to abandon his attack on Xiao Huan, quickly bending down to dodge the two men's blows.
The three then started fighting inside the house.
Bang bang bang!
The two young men were no pushovers; both were masters of internal energy. After a few rounds, the man in black was unable to withstand them. Moreover, his mission was not to kill Shen Manshu, so there was no need for him to risk his life. He merely glanced at her before quickly running away.
One young man tried to give chase, but was stopped by another.
"Don't chase after them! The strategist's orders to us are to protect Miss Shen. We mustn't fall for their diversionary tactic!"
Shen Manshu was slightly taken aback, but instantly understood.
These must be Li Chao's men, and the so-called advisor is naturally Doctor Lin!
At this moment, the entire intensive care unit area was in complete chaos.
Shouts of battle and shouts of rebuke rose and fell.
In a quiet hospital room, Li Chao, who was sitting cross-legged on the floor, slowly opened his eyes, a sharp glint in them.
After a day of refining, the elixir bestowed by the advisor was finally completely refined.
He felt the energy within his body surging continuously, like a tide!
He was already at the peak of internal strength before, but now he's even more powerful than that, like a bucket full of water that's about to overflow.
"Phew, one of my advisor's pills is equivalent to ten years of my internal energy, and this energy seems to be much more refined than before!" Li Chao couldn't help but exclaim.
"Kill them!"
"Go quickly and call the senior brother!"
"There are too many of them!"
Shouts and sounds of fighting came from outside. The doorway was not far away.
Li Chao's expression changed, and he quickly stood up, preparing to go out and check.
Just then, he heard a faint rustling sound coming from outside the window. His ears twitched, and he immediately hid in a dark corner.
Whoosh!
A short while later, the window was opened from the outside.
A figure crept in from outside.
This man was tall and agile, clearly a martial arts expert. After entering the room, he glanced around and immediately went to the bedside, preparing to carry the unconscious Fugui.
"You slipped in without a word or a greeting; isn't that rather impolite?"
At this moment, Li Chao slowly stepped out from the shadows, looking at the other party with a mocking expression.
The man in black, his face masked, sneered, "My only target is him. I advise you to mind your own business!"
"Mind your own business?" Li Chao scoffed. "My duty is to protect his safety. I think you're the one plotting something."
"Who exactly are you? Tell me honestly, and I might spare your life. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!" Li Chao sneered.
The man in black twisted his neck and slowly turned around.
He knew that if he didn't take down Li Chao today, he probably wouldn't be able to get out of there.
Therefore, we must deal with him first!
"Who I am is none of your business! Since you wish to die, I will grant your wish. Go ask the King of Hell for all your questions!"
boom!
No sooner had the man in black finished speaking than a steel fist slammed towards Li Chao.
The air itself seemed to crack, demonstrating the power of that punch. The force and speed combined were definitely over a thousand pounds!
Li Chao's expression changed slightly, but he didn't panic. He threw a simple, unadorned punch.
The two fists collided, but there was no explosive sound as expected.
Instead, the two forces rubbed against each other and eroded each other in the hollow space between them.
Wow!
The next second, both of them intensified their efforts, and with a loud bang, they were both sent flying backward.
They each crashed into the wall behind them.
The entire wall was covered in cracks.
Both of them changed color at the same time, staring at each other in shock.
The man in black squinted and said, "It seems I underestimated you. I didn't expect your skill to be so profound; you're only one step away from perfecting your inner strength!"
Li Chao snorted, "You're not bad either, almost on par with me!"
"Evenly matched?" The man in black sneered. "You're far too confident! Martial arts are a killing art! I've killed plenty of newbies like you who've never even been on a battlefield!"
Whoosh!
No sooner had he finished speaking than the man in black suddenly pulled a triangular military dagger from his calf. Before Li Chao could react, the dagger flashed and stabbed straight at his chest!
Li Chao's expression changed, and he subconsciously raised his hands to block, but he did not expect that the other party was just feinting. With a flick of his wrist, the attack bypassed his arms and went straight for his throat.
In an instant, Li Chao's mind went blank. This was the closest he had ever been to death. The triangular bayonet was only 0.01 centimeters away from him, and he could even hear the sound of the tip of the blade piercing his skin.
Life and death hang in the balance. At this moment, he calmed down. His originally surging and powerful energy returned to his dantian in an instant, and then burst out with an incomparably terrifying aura!
Buzz!
Liu Hao's triangular bayonet had already pierced Li Chao's skin, but at that very moment, he felt a terrifying fluctuation. This fluctuation made him gasp for breath, and slowed his movements by a fraction.
Seizing this only opportunity, Li Chao unleashed a powerful palm strike, slamming it heavily into Liu Hao's chest.
puff!
Liu Hao coughed up a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into the wall in the distance.
Click!
The wall shattered into a "大" shape, and Liu Hao was embedded inside it. His head lolled to the side, and he instantly fainted.
Li Chao took a deep breath, raised his hands tremblingly, his eyes filled with disbelief and immense joy.
"So this is the opportunity the advisor was talking about! Opportunity lies between life and death..."
At this moment, Li Chao was filled with emotion.
The master leads you through the door, but the cultivation is up to you. No matter how powerful the master is, he cannot make you a strongman instantly. In the path of martial arts, the final step you take depends on yourself!
"Senior Brother!"
Just then, two junior brothers ran in from outside and were shocked when they saw the situation inside the room.
"Senior Brother, are you alright?"
Li Chao waved his hand and asked, "What's the situation outside?"
One of the disciples wiped the blood from his face and said, "A lot of men in black came, all of them experts. Fortunately, we brothers were prepared, and this counterattack caught them off guard. But it's a pity that they all got away. We were worried about the safety of the Shen family, so we didn't chase after them!"
"They all ran away?" Li Chao sneered, gesturing with his chin. "Isn't there still one hanging on this wall?"
