Chapter 471: Hell Asura!

Lin Yuan fought his way through the crowd, carving a bloody path!

He didn't get entangled with ordinary thugs...

Lin Yuan's gaze locked firmly on Baihejie, Le Xiao chen, and several other New Faction bigwigs.

To capture the bandits, first capture their leader—Lin Yuan knew this principle!

As long as we take down Le Xiao chen and his group, this melee will naturally end.

Lin Yuan blasted away the crowds before him one after another!

He fought his way forward, charging into the throng!

Seeing him draw ever closer to Le Xiao chen and the others!

Le Xiao chen and the others finally saw their faces change drastically!

"Stop him! Quickly stop him!!" Le Xiao chen, seeing Lin Yuan draw nearer, finally panicked and shouted for his bodyguards to step forward and block him.

Countless crowds surged forward again!

Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed; he suddenly pulled his right hand from his bosom, his fingers already filled with gleaming silver needles.

"Go!" He snapped his wrist, and dozens of silver needles shot out like a violent rain!

Each silver needle precisely struck the neck side and waist-abdomen acupoints of the front-line thugs!

These were the exact nerve and meridian nodes Lin Yuan had calculated!

The moment the silver needles entered their bodies, the thugs felt numb and weak all over!

A sea of people went "thud-thud" collapsing one after another, instantly clearing an open space.

Lin Yuan wasted no time, striding forward quickly!

He bent over, felt the fallen thugs, and retrieved the silver needles one by one!

These silver needles were a birthday gift from Qin Bore, all specially forged titanium-alloy needles, extremely hard, capable of piercing even steel rebar!

Lin Yuan had just tucked the silver needles back into his bosom when another batch of thugs came howling at him!

Lin Yuan flicked his wrist again; the silver needles shot out like meteors, and another crowd fell down crying out.

Lin Yuan surged forward, kicking repeatedly with his long legs!

Wherever his silhouette passed, the thugs were all blasted away!

Figures flew sideways, screaming as they crashed to the ground...

Nobody could block even a single move of his.

Seeing the wall of people ahead torn open with a bloody gap!

Le Xiao chen, Lan Shengqiang, and the others' faces completely changed!

These few overlord bigwigs went from initial panic to extreme terror.

Le Xiao chen and company kept retreating!

Baihejie's metal prosthetic leg staggered, almost causing him to sit down on the ground.

Baihejie trembled as he shouted: "Quick! Send more people up! Block him!"

But the New Faction thugs at this moment... had already had their courage shattered by Lin Yuan's ferocity!

No matter how the bigwigs yelled, nobody dared to charge forward again...

A group of thugs trembled as they retreated.

Lin Yuan stepped closer, the blood and killing intent on his body intertwining, like an Asura returning from Hell.

Seeing that, the distance between him and Le Xiao chen and the others grew ever nearer.

Le Xiao chen, Lan Shengqiang, and the other overlord bigwigs—all their faces suddenly turned grim!

Le Xiao chen and company kept retreating, but behind them there was nowhere left to retreat.

Behind them, An Yunxi and others had already sealed off their retreat.

Le Xiao chen and company's faces turned deathly pale!

They had wandered the jianghu for so many years, yet never encountered such a terrifying demon!

Just as Lin Yuan was about to continue his assault forward...

Suddenly, a deafening siren blared from afar!

"Woo-woo! Woo-woo!!"

The siren's roar swept across!

The sound grew nearer, instantly drowning out the battlefield's wails and shouts!

Everyone instinctively looked up...

Only to see a mass of police cars blackening the highway outside the factory, wailing as they came!

Red and blue police lights flashed alternately... illuminating the whole night sky, now bright, now dim.

What's more shocking, behind the police cars followed armored vehicles of the Special Forces!

Each Special Forces armored vehicle bore the words "Special Police" in bold, especially conspicuous!

Precisely the city bureau police where Mu Lingxue serves, together with the provincial public security department's forces!

Even the Special Forces have come!

Countless police cars surged forward, instantly surrounding the entire abandoned factory!

The New Faction's thugs... were already frightened by Lin Yuan...

At this moment, they saw the live-ammo Special Forces encircling them...

All the New Faction's thugs instantly panicked!

Le Xiao chen, Lan Shengqiang, and the others' faces suddenly changed!

After exchanging a glance, they suddenly shouted at their subordinates: "Quick retreat! Run through the gap in the western wall!"

It's a joke—there are so many police on scene, Le Xiao chen and the others definitely don't want to get caught.

But just then, the armored vehicle's door opened first, and members in black special‑ops uniforms filed out!

A large contingent of special‑ops police had their assault rifles instantly chambered!

Numerous icy gun barrels all trained on every jianghu member present!

Immediately after, police car doors flung open, and a large number of officers rushed out!

The officers were all loaded with live ammunition!

The head of the provincial public security bureau's anti‑narcotics brigade, Mu Tiecheng, stepped out of the car in uniform, walking briskly!

Mu Tiecheng's gaze swept over the chaotic scene like a torch, and he bellowed:

「Nobody may move! Put down your weapons, hands on heads, squat on the ground! Resisters will be deemed as resisting arrest and shot without mercy! 」

The New Faction Group members, like stray dogs, flung down their weapons and fled madly to the west…

But after just a few steps, they were intercepted by the criminal police team already lying in wait there.

Mu Tiecheng personally led the team to block the gap, coldly watching the disheveled New Faction bigwigs flee.

Mu Tiecheng snorted coldly: "Want to run? Too late!"

Mu Tiecheng gave the order.

A group of special‑ops team members beside him fired their guns into the air in unison!

"Bang bang bang!!" Assault rifle bullets sprayed into the night sky!

A deafening soft voice swept over!

All New Faction members were so frightened they put their hands on their heads!

This is a warning shot!

If they still don't listen, we'll really have to open fire and sweep them!

Even Le Xiao chen and the others stopped in their tracks, their faces grim!

"Cuff them all!!" Mu Tiecheng gave the order!!

A group of criminal police officers stepped forward at once!

Handcuffs clicked!

Le Xiao chen, Lan Shengqiang, and the others… were all tightly cuffed.

Baihejie dragged his deformed prosthetic… hoping to hide among the thugs…

As a result, a special‑ops team member kicked him over, the cold gun barrel pressed against the back of his head, "Be honest!"

Some of the New Faction's thugs tried to climb over the wall to escape, but were driven back by the special‑ops team's tear gas;

The criminal police and special‑ops teams had clear divisions of labor, and quickly brought all New Faction members under control, loading them onto police cars in batches.

The car compartments were packed with dejected captives…

The entire New Faction Group was netted and will be taken back to the police station for investigation on charges of gang‑related offenses and rioting.

Mu Lingxue could no longer bear it, rushing quickly to Mu Tiecheng's front with a choked voice: "Dad…"

Before her words even finished, she tightly embraced her father… the long‑suppressed fear and grievance instantly erupted.

Mu Lingxue's tears welled up; she had thought she would never see her father again.

"Silly girl, it's okay, Dad's here." Mu Tiecheng gently patted her back, his voice full of pity: "You've been wronged, don't be afraid, Dad's here."

After Mu Lingxue's emotions eased a little, Mu Tiecheng finally let go.

Mu Tiesheng's gaze turned to Lin Yuan beside him, his expression complex to the extreme…

The Captain had just reported to him in his ear, the young man who had saved his daughter before him was precisely that mysterious Priest.

Mu Tiesheng took a deep breath and stepped forward to stand before Lin Yuan.

His gaze swept over Lin Yuan's wounds all over his body.

Mu Tiesheng also glanced at An Yunxi and the others.

Mu Tiesheng's voice carried an uncontainable heaviness: "Lin Yuan, are you also with them?"

Mu Tiesheng raised his hand and pointed at An Yunxi, Zhao Yuyan, and the others.

He looked at Lin Yuan and asked, "You're from the Goddess Bar, mixing in the jianghu, right?"

Lin Yuan looked at the disappointment and heartache in Mu Tiesheng's eyes.

Lin Yuan let out a soft sigh and nodded frankly: "Yes."

"You!" Mu Tiesheng's body lurched, he staggered back half a step before steadying himself, pointing at Lin Yuan, his voice trembling, "How could I have misjudged you—my daughter trusted you so much, took you as a partner, you… you fool!"

Mu Tiesheng grew more agitated as he spoke, his chest heaving violently.

"Do you know what joining the jianghu means? It's a one-way road! Once you step in, you'll be branded with a 'black' mark for life, your future ruined! You're so young, your medical skills are good—you should have a bright future, how could you be so foolish, utterly foolish!"

"What a fine seedling, just ruined like that…" Mu Tiesheng beat his thigh in anguish, his face full of regret.

"Director Mu, you can't say that." An Yunxi stepped forward quickly, standing beside Lin Yuan.

An Yunxi's beautiful eyes gazed softly as she said, "Although our Goddess Bar is a jianghu organization, we never do illegal things. The Changsheng Group traffics drugs and loans, oppressing the people—it was Lin Yuan who led people to take them down, clearing Hangcheng's underground; the New Faction gathers crowds to brawl and kidnap police, and we were the first to step in to stop them!"

"You can't condemn all jianghu people with one stroke, can you? The jianghu also has organizations that abide by the rules and operate legally!"

"Black is black! It can never be washed white!" Mu Tiesheng raised his hand sharply to cut off An Yunxi's words.

Mu Tiesheng snorted coldly, full of unyielding firmness: "As soon as you touch the two words 'jianghu', you can't escape fighting and killing, you'll hover on the edge of the law! Today you can help the police, tomorrow you could oppose the law for profit—is that what jianghu rules are?"

His words fell like a massive stone among the crowd, and the scene fell silent instantly.

At this moment, Mu Lingxue's beautiful eyes were complex to the extreme.

Her eyelashes still bore unshed tears, while depths of her eyes churned with multiple emotions:

There was the lingering fear from just seeing Lin Yuan fight bloodied.

There was the shock upon learning his identity as the "Priest".

But more than that...... the anger after being deceived by the person one trusts most.

Mu Lingxue instinctively clenched her pink fist, she slowly stepped forward and walked to Lin Yuan.

"Lin Yuan, how many more things are you hiding from me?"

Lin Yuan was covered in blood, his white shirt already stained dark red, the wound still faintly oozing blood.

He looked at Mu Lingxue's reddened eye sockets, his heart tightened.

Lin Yuan instinctively lifted his foot...... wanting to walk to her side to explain.

But just as Lin Yuan's foot stepped out, Mu Lingxue abruptly stepped back one step.

The vigilance in her eyes...... was like an invisible wall, separating the two.

"Nothing." Lin Yuan said helplessly, "I'm only hiding this from you—about my profession, my identity. Otherwise, I've never lied to you."

"Lin Yuan, why are you explaining so much to her?" Just then, a clear, cold voice sounded.

Zhao Yuyan walked slowly to Lin Yuan's side, her expensive long skirt stained with a little dust, yet it did nothing to diminish her aura.

Zhao Yuyan's beautiful eyes swept over Mu Lingxue, then turned to Lin Yuan.

Zhao Yuyan's tone carried a hint of complexity: "Lin Yuan, what's your relationship with her? Do you need to explain so much to this female police officer? Your identity doesn't need to be explained to anyone."

"Exactly, Lin Laoshi!" You Nianchu also stepped forward, immediately putting her arms around Lin Yuan's arm, her eyes full of reliance and protection: "What's good about that female police officer? She's always cold in her uniform, where's any femininity?"

You Nianchu shook Lin Yuan's arm, her tone coquettish:

"There are plenty of good women in the world, what kind do you like? I can wear a white dress for purity, tie twin tails for cuteness, learn to make soup for gentleness—I can dress up however you want, no need to suffer injustice here."

Mu Lingxue's face turned even paler in an instant!

Mu Lingxue pressed her lips into a straight line!

You Nianchu's words were like a thorn, completely piercing the last shred of her rationality.

Mu Lingxue suddenly lifted her head, anger in her eyes.

She shouted at the criminal police team members behind her: "Handcuff Lin Yuan and all those old-school society people! Take them back to the police station for investigation!"

"Hey! You police officer, you're unreasonable!" Zhao Yuyan immediately stepped forward, blocking Lin Yuan.

Zhao Yuyan said coldly angrily: "Just now you were surrounded, water-tight, and we risked our lives to save you! Now you turn around and treat your benefactor as a criminal? Is that your police principle?"

"Exactly! You female police officer are really over the top!" You Nianchu tightly hugged Lin Yuan's arm, lifting her small face to glare at Mu Lingxue.

"You can't say we're wrong just because you don't have Lin Dagē's affection! And you can't invert black and white to arrest the benefactor!"

"I'll say it again! Handcuff them all and take them away!" Mu Lingxue shouted coldly.

"I'd like to see who dares to move!" Zhao Yuyan shouted to stop.

Behind her, the members of Nine Honors International immediately stepped forward one step!

The enforcers of Nine Honors International confronted the police!
