189: Fierce fighting, with guns

Ye Lin couldn't care less about the pain now; he delivered a side kick with his right foot, striking the big man's knee joint. The big man cried out in pain, his left leg buckled, and his body staggered.

Ye Lin's left hand, with fingers pressed together, jabbed straight at the big man's throat. With a 'crack' sound, the big man groaned, clutched his throat, and fell straight down.

The people behind him hadn't expected Ye Lin to be so fierce, and their charge slowed slightly.

"Go! There are so many of you, you can crush him to death!" Wan Zhihao, Deputy Mayor shouted from behind, and immediately, a dozen big men charged forward ferociously again.

Ye Lin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he adjusted his breathing. Since he couldn't scare them off, he would just fight them directly.

He lunged forward in a single stride, and once he was close, he spun around and delivered a flying side kick, directly striking the chest of the man in front.

With the bonus from the Strength Attribute Card, Ye Lin's strength already surpassed that of ordinary people. Combined with a side kick, a technique that maximizes power, there was a loud 'bang', and the man was sent flying backward.

Like a bowling pin struck, he crashed directly into several people behind him, instantly knocking down three or four of the dozen big men and throwing their charging formation into disarray.

The people behind him scrambled around, coming from both sides. The previously concentrated crowd was split into two groups.

Ye Lin quickly chose to charge towards the left, where there were more people. While his strength was high, it was best to deal with more opponents first.

There were about six people on the left. Ye Lin immediately launched a straight punch, striking a big man's face. The immense force made the big man's head snap sideways. Ye Lin seized the opportunity to leap up, delivering a fierce elbow strike to the big man's temple, knocking him unconscious.

However, five truncheons from his companions also came swinging. Ye Lin spun around, dodging two, but was still struck by the other three on his back.

Hiss.

Ye Lin's back burned with pain as if it were on fire. Gritting his teeth, Ye Lin spun in mid-air, delivering a roundhouse kick, knocking down another person.

Instantly, the 1-on-6 fight became 1-on-4.

Behind him, the people who had circled around from the right had already surrounded him, and Ye Lin was once again in a dangerous situation.

"Kill him!"

Several big men roared, and their fists, feet, and clubs rained down on Ye Lin.

With no other choice, Ye Lin could only charge fiercely in one direction. He was kicked in the back by someone, causing him to stumble.

Ye Lin seized the chance to crash into someone, delivering an elbow strike to his stomach. The man felt his stomach contract violently and couldn't help but feel like vomiting.

Ye Lin grabbed him by the neck and executed a back suplex, slamming him hard onto the ground with a loud 'thud'.

The intense fighting made Ye Lin gasp for breath.

As soon as he relaxed slightly, his left leg was struck by a club. Immediately, Ye Lin felt a sharp pain in his leg, and a big man's fist from the right was already flying towards him; there was nowhere to dodge.

Ye Lin gritted his teeth, roared, and, enduring the fists and kicks from behind, met the incoming punch head-on.

Two dull thuds were heard. Ye Lin's head reeled from the big man's punch, his eyebrow was cut open, and blood streamed down his eye.

However, the big man was not faring well either; he was directly knocked out and fell to the ground by Ye Lin's full-force punch.

Before Ye Lin could catch his breath, he felt a sharp pain at the back of his head, struck by a truncheon, followed by a flying kick that sent him sprawling.

Ye Lin, after falling, dared not linger. He immediately rolled sideways, and several clubs smashed into the ground, narrowly missing his face.

Ye Lin quickly got up and retreated a few steps, creating distance. The back of his head felt a burning sensation.

He reached back and touched it—warm blood.

Damn it!

Ye Lin was enraged. He roared, "Come on, I'll kill you all!"

In his fury, Ye Lin charged into the crowd like a tank. His blood-soaked face and his fierce, injury-for-injury fighting style immediately intimidated the bodyguards.

After Ye Lin knocked down two more people, several bodyguards, scared, quickly retreated a few steps, holding their truncheons across their chests, creating distance from Ye Lin.

Ye Lin was not feeling well either. Blood streamed from his eye socket, one eye was already swollen, allowing him to see only through a slit, and his entire body ached everywhere.

Meng Qiu, half-lying on the ground, watched him like this and couldn't help but sob softly. This hooligan, he was actually so fierce.

Before, she thought he was quite bad, forcing her for information. Now, however, he seemed so tall and mighty.

"Come on! Who else!" Ye Lin slammed his right fist against his chest, roaring at the remaining seven bodyguards opposite him.

Several people, frightened by Ye Lin's menacing appearance, took another step back.

Wan Zhihao, Deputy Mayor was so angry he felt like dying. These damn bodyguards! Gu Qiang had told him they were the elite of the elite, each a tough man capable of fighting ten, but now they seemed like a bunch of good-for-nothings.

"Useless! A bunch of useless trash!" Wan Zhihao, Deputy Mayor cursed.

After speaking, he rushed directly to the bedside, pulled open the bottom drawer, and pulled out a dark pistol, aiming it at Ye Lin.

"Come on! Aren't you good at fighting? Can you fight a pistol, hahaha!" Wan Zhihao, Deputy Mayor was already a bit deranged.

Seeing Wan Zhihao, Deputy Mayor actually pull out a gun, Ye Lin was also startled.

How many bad things had this guy done? One had to know that in Great Xia, any incident involving a gun would immediately escalate by two levels.

Only desperadoes would choose to use a gun.

The bodyguards were also stunned. "Boss, what are you doing? We'd at most serve a few years for assaulting an officer, or perhaps escape if we killed someone. But you're using a gun to kill a police officer! The police will chase you to the ends of the earth!"

"Wan Zhihao, Deputy Mayor, calm down. Once you fire, you're finished," Ye Lin calmly advised.

Facing an armed assailant, one must remain calm. Not only oneself, but more importantly, one must also make the opponent calm down.

As the saying goes, bullets have no eyes; no one knows where they will strike.

Especially with someone like Wan Zhihao, Deputy Mayor, who clearly hadn't received professional training, shooting wildly, who could guarantee they could dodge it?

Ye Lin had only used a few attribute cards so far and didn't have any special defensive skills. Facing a gun directly, he also had to be extremely careful.

"Scared? Now you're scared? Why weren't you scared when you were hitting me, huh?"

"Today, it's either you die or I die!"

Ye Lin inwardly cried out, 'Not good!' Wan Zhihao, Deputy Mayor's eyes were already bloodshot. Such a person had lost all reason.

Indeed, after Wan Zhihao, Deputy Mayor finished speaking arrogantly, his gaze hardened, and he pulled the trigger in Ye Lin's direction.

Bang, bang, bang—three shots.

Even if Ye Lin was fierce enough, he had to temporarily avoid the brunt of the attack. He immediately dropped to the ground and quickly rolled twice, which could reduce the chance of being hit.

However, after doing all this, he realized it seemed redundant.

A pistol is convenient to carry, but it's not at all simple to shoot accurately.

Especially since Wan Zhihao, Deputy Mayor, for some reason, was using an old-fashioned pistol, one used by the military decades ago. It had great power, but also great recoil, and ordinary people couldn't aim it accurately at all.
