Chapter 552: Furious Rage Soaring to the Heavens!

"Release her? Hahaha!" Luan Bao heard this and immediately burst into an even more ferocious mad laugh.

Luan Bao's eyes were full of mockery and cruelty, "You fucking dreaming?"

Luan Bao took two steps forward, looking down at Lin Yuan from above, his tone dripping with undisguised mockery, "You forgot? We are bandits! Can you believe a bandit's words?"

Lin Yuan's pupils suddenly contracted, as if his whole body's blood had frozen in an instant.

The excruciating pain in Lin Yuan's ribs was somewhat suppressed by this surging rage.

Lin Yuan clenched his fists tightly, knuckles white, his voice full of suppressed anger: "You... you don't keep your word?"

"You don't keep your word?" Luan Bao snorted, the flesh on his face twisting from his savage grin, "We bandits never keep our word! What can you do about it?"

Having said that, Luan Bao turned his head to look at the bound Mu Lingxue.

Luan Bao's gaze... became greedy and ferocious.

Luan Bao licked his lips: "Want me to let her go? Impossible! Since you care so much about this female police officer, I'll make you taste the most painful suffering!"

Luan Bao violently tore open his own shirt, revealing a chest covered in flesh rolls and ferocious tattoos.

Luan Bao stepped toward Mu Lingxue, his tone lewd and cruel: "Lin Yuan, you're trying so hard to save her—do you like her? Hahaha! Perfect, I'll rape this female police officer right in front of you! Let you see with your own eyes how your beloved woman is toyed with beneath our brothers!"

"Mmm!!" Mu Lingxue trembled all over from fear, her tears flowing even more fiercely.

She struggled desperately with her body... trying to retreat, but two bandits held her down firmly, leaving her completely unable to move.

Mu Lingxue let out a despairing whimper, her eyes full of fear, helplessly looking at Lin Yuan.

"Did you hear that? Lin Yuan!" Luan Bao laughed nonstop, waving his hand at the bandits behind him.

"Brothers, take off your clothes! Today we'll have fun with this female police officer, and let this kid watch closely!"

The surrounding bandits immediately responded, each leering, and began tearing off their clothes.

Vulgar profanity kept spilling from the bandits' mouths.

They closed in on Mu Lingxue.

Mu Lingxue watched the bandits draw nearer; her fear was replaced by an extreme will to survive.

She was no longer just despairingly crying; she exerted all her strength to struggle!

Her wrists were chafed red by the coarse hemp rope.

Yet she heedlessly twisted wildly, using the inertia of her bodily struggle, and her wrist jerked sharply to the side.

Unexpectedly, the knot that the bandits had hastily tied around her wrist loosened a bit because of this!

Mu Lingxue felt a surge of joy, seized the moment to adjust her posture, her fingertips probing the gap in the knot, and with sheer determination she actually managed to undo the hemp rope binding her hands!

"Mmm!" she let out a low grunt.

As soon as Mu Lingxue broke free of her bonds, she thrust her hands forward, shoving the bandit holding her down hard.

That bandit hadn't expected her to break free suddenly, and was shoved into a stagger.

Mu Lingxue seized this fleeting opportunity, her eyes darting quickly around.

She instantly spotted a pistol tucked at the waist of a nearby bandit!

Mu Lingxue hesitated not, lunging forward with astonishing speed.

Before the bandit could react, she snatched the pistol from his waist in one motion!

With a "click!", Mu Lingxue chambered a round in an instant, turned, and aimed straight at the astonished Luan Bao, pulling the trigger without hesitation!

"Bang!!"

The bullet whistled out, shooting toward Luan Bao's chest.

But what shocked Mu Lingxue was, facing the bullet at point-blank range...

Luan Bao merely shifted his body slightly, his footwork taking an uncanny step!

Luan Bao, like a ghost, dodged this deadly strike!

The bullet grazed Luan Bao's shoulder and flew past!

With a "thud!", it struck the discarded steel frame behind him, sending up a spray of sparks.

"What?!" Mu Lingxue's pupils contracted, her face full of disbelief.

As a police officer, her marksmanship is always precise! Yet at such close range, Luan Bao easily dodged it!

Such reaction speed far exceeds her understanding of ordinary bandits!

This also made Mu Lingxue fully realize just how terrifying the strength of these ancient martial arts bandits is.

These ancient martial arts bandits can act so recklessly because their movement skills are terrifyingly formidable—even hot-weapon bullets can be dodged!

Conventional firearms are utterly useless against them!

"Hmph, somewhat interesting." After sidestepping the bullet, the mockery on Luan Bao's face grew thicker.

Luan Bao moved his shoulder a bit, his eyes icy as he fixed on Mu Lingxue: "I didn't expect you still had this trick, but with just this little skill, you think you can resist?"

Before his words even finished, Luan Bao's figure shot forth like an arrow released from a bow!

Luan Bao's speed... was so fast it left only an afterimage.

Mu Lingxue had just thought to pull the trigger again when Luan Bao seized her wrist in an iron grip!

With a crisp "crack!", Mu Lingxue felt a sudden sharp pain in her wrist, and the strength to hold the gun vanished instantly!

Her pistol fell to the ground with a "clack!"

"Ah!" Mu Lingxue cried out in pain.

She had just tried to step back when Luan Bao grabbed a handful of her hair.

Luan Bao's fingers clamped like iron vises on her strands, forcibly yanking her head back, forcing her to lift her face.

Mu Lingxue's pretty face was in turmoil, tears streaming uncontrollably, yet she stubbornly glared at Luan Bao: "Let go of me! You bastard!"

"Let you go?" Luan Bao lowered his head, his face almost touching Mu Lingxue's.

His warm, foul-smelling breath blew onto her face, making her involuntarily turn her head away in disgust.

Luan Bao saw this and laughed even more ferociously, "You bitch, you were just able to run and fight, why aren't you resisting now?"

Mu Lingxue struggled desperately, her eyes full of despair: "Don't touch me!"

Mu Lingxue did not let panic cloud her mind; instead, she seized this fleeting opportunity.

She violently raised the arm that Luan Bao gripped, and with her other hand she followed the motion around to the side of Luan Bao's neck, employing the Throat Lock Absolute Technique taught at the police academy!

Taking the opportunity, Mu Lingxue clenched Luan Bao's throat tightly!

"Lin Yuan! Run! Don't worry about me!" she shouted with all her strength, her voice hoarse from the effort.

The intense pain in her wrist was cast to the back of her mind.

Mu Lingxue only thought about... gaining a sliver of escape time for Lin Yuan.

This woman, even at this moment, still thought of letting Lin Yuan run first.

"Huh?" Luan Bao, caught off guard by the throat lock, let out a muffled grunt.

Luan Bao's face instantly darkened.

He hadn't expected this female police officer to still possess such skill and courage.

But this amount of force... was utterly insignificant to Luan Bao.

Luan Bao exerted slight force in his neck, stubbornly resisting Mu Lingxue's throat-lock pressure.

Immediately, Luan Bao grabbed the wrist that Mu Lingxue had clamped onto his throat with a backhand, his fingertips exerting fierce force!

With a light "crack," Mu Lingxue felt as if her wrist bones were about to be crushed.

The intense pain instantly robbed her of strength, and the throat-lock motion slackened accordingly.

Luan Bao took advantage of the momentum, stepping forward and driving his knee into Mu Lingxue's lower abdomen, slamming her hard against the nearby abandoned machinery.

With one hand, Luan Bao twisted Mu Lingxue's arms behind her back, completely subduing her.

"Overestimating yourself!" Luan Bao's eyes were icy, his tone full of killing intent.

"You bitch, still spicy?" Luan Bao lowered his head, staring at Mu Lingxue's face flushed red from pain and anger.

Luan Bao's mouth corner curled into a lewd, vicious grin.

Luan Bao's tone was lascivious and cruel: "Heh heh heh... I've never before tasted the flavor of a beautiful police flower like you!"

Before his words even faded, his rough large hand lunged toward Mu Lingxue's collar, his fingertips gripping the fabric tightly, ready to tear it open forcefully!

"Bastard! Let go of me!" Mu Lingxue twisted her body desperately, hoarsely shouting in despair.

Her tears welled up uncontrollably from her eyes.

Yet she could not break free from Luan Bao's restraint at all.

The icy feel of the abandoned machinery transmitted through her clothing, combined with Luan Bao's nauseating odor, made her whole body shiver.

This scene completely ignited Lin Yuan's fury!

The agonizing pain from the dagger stabbed in his ribs, at the moment he saw Mu Lingxue about to be humiliated, all transformed into towering wrath.

Lin Yuan's eyes instantly turned blood-red, his face, which had been pale from the intense pain, flushed crimson.

Lin Yuan fixed his gaze on Luan Bao's lewd back, his teeth grinding audibly, the fury in his chest nearly burning him to ashes.

"Dare to move her? Try it!" Lin Yuan roared, his voice hoarse yet carrying an earth-shattering resolve.

Before his words even faded, Lin Yuan disregarded the binding of his hands behind his back, and ignored the excruciating pain of the dagger in his ribs!

He desperately drove the last trace of qi and blood within his body!

Although his qi and blood passages were sealed shut... the extreme fury forced Lin Yuan to squeeze out a faint stream of power, which traveled along his arm to his fingertips!

The three silver needles hidden in his palm for a long time, propelled by this force, shot forth like three bolts of silver lightning, accurately striking Luan Bao's Back Heart acupoint!

At the very moment the silver needles left his body, Lin Yuan's rib wound, due to the violent surge of qi and blood, completely burst open!

"Pfft!" Two streams of fresh blood spurted like fountains from the gap between the dagger and his flesh!

The blood instantly dyed red the clothing behind him, trickling down his body and pooling on the ground into a small dark-red puddle.

"Ugh!" Lin Yuan emitted a wretched groan from the pain!

Lin Yuan's body uncontrollably shuddered violently, cold sweat mixed with blood sliding down his temples, his vision blurring from the intense pain.

Yet he gritted his teeth hard, his gaze still locked firmly on Luan Bao, refusing to shift even slightly.

Luan Bao was immersed in the pleasure of imminent success, never expecting the bound and crippled Lin Yuan to still be able to act.

The silver needles silently penetrated Luan Bao's clothing, precisely striking the Back Heart acupoint!

The force was not great, yet it carried a strange internal energy that instantly sealed the circulation of qi and blood throughout Luan Bao's body.

"What?!" Luan Bao's body jerked rigidly, the hand that had been about to tear Mu Lingxue's collar froze midair!

Luan Bao only felt his strength ebb away like a tide in an instant, his limbs turning stiff and numb.

In a short time, Luan Bao could not move at all.

Luan Bao maintained the posture of pressing down on Mu Lingxue, his lewd smile frozen!

On Luan Bao's face, shock and disbelief took its place...

"You... how can you still move?!"
