Chapter 816: Chapter 821: Is He the One Who Hurt You a Few Days Ago? (2)
Zhao Ritian wanted to complain a few more times but his third grandfather glared back at him, causing him to immediately shut up!
Because an Innate cannot be insulted!
If they truly anger the opponent, the opponent might not hold back and might want to kill his grandson.
Zhao Ritian pursed his lips and stopped talking, as he too noticed the terrifying murderous aura emanating from the old man.
At this moment, both sides were also on high alert, wary of each other.
Even though there was a certain gap in strength between the two sides, if they truly started fighting, Zhao Ritian’s side would suffer heavy losses, and it might end up benefiting the group of forces behind them.
Suddenly, Lin Xi frowned and looked toward a direction behind the twelve people, where someone seemed to be approaching!
Moreover, the person seemed to be Innate as well!
A few seconds later, Zhao Lao and Elder Zhu, who had been relatively relaxed earlier, suddenly turned serious.
Because at this moment, they also noticed.
In about ten seconds, everyone noticed an old man in the same Taoist robe walking to the side of another Taoist robe-clad old man and stopping.
As long as one’s eyes weren’t blind, they could see that this person was part of the group with the twelve people.
More importantly, it seemed like they were led by him.
Meanwhile, Lin Xi could also sense that this person’s strength was likely the strongest among the Innate powerhouses.
For now, the strength of both sides seemed about even.
Of course, they excluded Lin Xi’s strength in all this.
After all, everyone present was unsure about Lin Xi’s exact strength.
If anyone knew the most, it would probably be Zhao Lao, but even he only knew Lin Xi was stronger than the Peak Soldier King, though he hadn’t reached Innate level.
To put it specifically, he’s the number one below Innate.
Although Avril Jolie couldn’t sense others’ strength, or how strong this person exactly was, she could tell from William’s face, dark as the bottom of a pot, that these people’s strengths far exceeded her imagination.
After all, she had never seen the carefree William with such an expression.
The various forces about a dozen meters behind Zhao Ritian’s group looked quite uneasy, and many of them considered withdrawing!
If the two sides were about even in strength, then the situation for these forces wouldn’t look good!
From a smart person’s perspective or military strategies, when two sides are equally matched, they’d have the tacit understanding to eliminate the surrounding weaker forces first, because if the two sides fought, they’d inevitably both suffer.
Then, if there were smaller forces, they’d take advantage.
How can they allow them to take advantage?
While they hesitated, wondering whether to back out or not, they noticed the top two forces at the ancient mine entrance stayed eerily quiet, seemingly uninterested in these smaller forces.
Seeing this scene, they were quite relieved, though they dared not breathe loudly!
In an instant, the entire ancient mine entrance plunged into a bizarre silence.
Of course, it wasn’t pure silence; there was occasionally the sound of tapping stones and gesturing, which came from the two junior soldier kings at the mine’s mechanism.
These two hadn’t concerned themselves with the outside situation from the start, instead wholly focused on overcoming the mechanism, seemingly immersed in it.
After about ten minutes, the expressions on their faces grew increasingly excited.
To others, it was clear the mechanism was finally close to being cracked open.
But just at this moment, the sound of two motorcycles came from afar.
Those with curiously heavy hearts couldn’t help but glance outside, discovering they were two police motorcycles with a woman and two men, the two men sharing one motorcycle and following the female police officer’s bike.
In less than a minute, the two motorcycles stopped behind the crowd.
After the motorcycles stopped, the female officer led the two policemen toward the ancient mine entrance, shouting along the way, "Hurry up and leave here. This is a national protected site, and you cannot damage it!"
Behind her, a skinny officer and an older officer saw the numerous people and realized most of them were not easy to handle, moreover recognizing Wang Wudao among them, but even someone as formidable as him was only at the perimeter.
Instantly, the two’s steps faltered, cold sweat broke out on their backs in layers.
Yet despite this, they bravely followed behind their captain, as if only she could provide them a sense of security.
But after the female officer finished speaking, no one paid her any attention.
This caused her immense anger, and she couldn’t help but glance around, but when her gaze landed in the direction of a small force, she halted.
Her two subordinates immediately noticed their captain’s eyes turning blood-red instantly.
When they looked over, they too showed anger on their faces, and at this moment lost all fear.
Moreover, they saw the captain draw her gun without hesitation, aiming at the person and shouting, "Come here right now, or I’ll shoot!"
The person she aimed at had a pockmarked face, looking quite ugly.
Specifically speaking, he was about 1.7 meters tall, wearing camouflage with countless weapons seemingly strapped around his waist and calves, though it was unclear whether they were hot weapons or cold steel.
Overall, this person seemed very dangerous.
Lin Xi turned his head at this moment, gazing expressionlessly at the pockmarked man.
The next moment, he heard the man speak to the female officer in surprise, "Captain Zhou, what a coincidence, we meet again!"
"But you’re surprising me so much, with such severe injuries, you’ve not only fully recovered but your strength has improved a lot!"
"It’s simply a miracle!"
"Moreover, my interest in you has grown even stronger!"
Yes, this person was Zhou Yan, who was lying in bed nearly dying yesterday.
Zhou Yan coldly snorted, not responding to his words, instead gripping the gun tightly and shouting again,
"I’ll give you one last chance, come here immediately and cuff yourself."
With that, she tossed a pair of handcuffs roughly five meters away.
The man revealed a hint of sarcasm, "Do you think a gun would work on me?"
"Haven’t you learned your lesson from a few days ago?"
"Besides, this place isn’t where you can do as you please. I suggest you leave quickly, or else after this matter, I might not have the chance to study you!"
Because, relatively speaking, his personal strength here was only mid-to-upper tier.
Although Zhou Yan and the two officers behind her didn’t look too good after hearing this.
In truth, he was right; even if Zhou Yan held a gun against him, it might not hit him!
After all, last time, it wasn’t that no one fired, and quite a few did, but he evaded them all, ultimately severely injuring Zhou Yan nearly to death.
"Captain, why don’t we retreat first and have the bureau or the army handle this?" the older officer behind Zhou Yan couldn’t help but say, easily discerning the situation upon entering, knowing even if the entire office came, it wouldn’t solve anything.
Zhou Yan prepared to put down her gun, but remembering the dozen or so officers still lying in the hospital, she hardened her resolve, ready to take a gamble!
No matter what, she’s not the same person she was before; her strength now is much stronger, meaning using a gun now might not miss that person—the odds exist!
Just as she prepared to shout again, Lin Xi suddenly stepped out from Zhao Ritian’s group and called to Zhou Yan,
"Big Sis with the generous bust, is he the one who hurt you a few days ago?"
