Chapter 753

He needed rest.

No sooner had he lain on the bed than, within three seconds, Ning Chen fell asleep.

This sleep, he knew not how long it lasted; he only felt it was extremely sound.

"Warning! Warning! Your protected target is under attack!"

Hearing that voice, Ning Chen's eyes snapped open with a swish, and he sprang up from the bed.

Outside the window, it had already grown dark.

He had no idea where Lin Yi was at this moment, or why he was under attack.

Suddenly, his ear twitched; he heard a faint sound of fighting.

He hurriedly walked out of the room, following the direction of the sound.

He heard that the sound was coming from outside the door.

So he deduced that Lin Yi must be fighting someone outside the house.

With this doubt in mind, Ning Chen rushed out of the door.

The moment the door opened, Lin Yi was viciously struck and sent flying, crashing hard against the side of the door with a thud.

"Pfft!"

After hitting the wall, Lin Yi spat out a huge mouthful of blood.

Seeing Ning Chen, Lin Yi could only give an awkward smile.

"Kid, cough, cough! Kid, you should take her and leave quickly."

Saying this, Lin Yi struggled to support himself and stand up, then shouted at the man not far away.

"Hey, I can't beat you. One last question: can you tell me why the Organization wants to kill me?"

The man opposite, hands in his pockets, smiled faintly.

"Lin Yi, you know the Organization does not like disobedient people."

Saying this, the man slowly turned his gaze toward Ning Chen.

"The fact that this person is still alive is the best reason for the Organization to launch a purge against you."

Hearing the man's words, Lin Yi sneered.

He had not thought about eliminating Ning Chen, but the further he went, the more he found he could not bring himself to do it.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi smiled.

"Just because of such a rotten reason! How ridiculous."

With that, Lin Yi moved his figure and attacked the man again.

While fighting the man, he turned his head and shouted at Ning Chen.

"Kid! Why don't you run quickly! What are you hesitating for!"

Hearing Lin Yi's words, Ning Chen remained unmoved.

But Lin Yi was truly tough; already severely injured, he could still fight the man to a standstill.

Ning Chen could see that Lin Yi had already done his utmost.

And his mission this time was to protect Lin Yi.

This meant that in this fight, Lin Yi would still lose.

Ning Chen took his hand out of his pocket and silently activated the skill.

In an instant, he moved and appeared between the two of them.

The man's eyes widened, looking at Ning Chen with an expression of utter disbelief.

"When did you!"

Ning Chen grabbed Lin Yi's fist with one hand and, with the other, fiercely punched the man in the abdomen.

"Ugh!"

The man immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

The next second, he quickly created distance between himself and the two, watching Ning Chen warily.

"The Organization was right; you are someone who must be eliminated. If you are not eliminated, you will be the Organization's greatest threat!"

He did not understand why, having done nothing, he had already become a threat to the Organization.

Lin Yi patted Ning Chen's shoulder, tugged at the corners of his mouth, and asked.

"Kid, can you handle him?"

Seeing Lin Yi's staggering form, Ning Chen nodded.

Immediately after, Lin Yi gave him a thumbs-up, closed his eyes, and fainted.

Seeing Lin Yi in this state, Ning Chen carefully placed him on the ground and specifically reached out to check his breath.

After confirming the person was still alive, Ning Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as the person was alive, his mission was not yet a failure.

"You care so much about this waste?"

Watching Lin Yi's actions, the man sneered.

Ning Chen, meanwhile, walked calmly toward the man.

Seeing Ning Chen's demeanor, the man became even more interested.

"I love watching people act so arrogant. I finally found a chance to suppress Lin Yi. I originally thought I'd let you live a bit longer, but it seems that's not really necessary!"

With that, the man drew a small knife from his waist, moved his foot, and with a swish, charged at Ning Chen!

The moment the man charged, Ning Chen quickly activated the skill; instantly, the man's movements appeared extremely slow in his eyes.

Just as the small knife was about to pierce his chest, Ning Chen, with swift eyes and quick hands, knocked the knife from the man's hand.

The man's expression startled; he hurriedly tried to kick Ning Chen away with his foot.

But Ning Chen had already seen through his move and kicked him flying a step before he could act.

Boom!

The man crashed hard into a tree, looking at Ning Chen with an expression of utter disbelief.

This kid is simply too strong.

Just as Lin Yi said, he is so strong it's hard to believe!

He still must be eliminated, but not through a direct clash; a direct clash offers him no chance of victory whatsoever.

Thinking this, the man curled his lips, sat under the tree, and said to Ning Chen.

"Kid, you are quite good, but in the future, it won't just be me coming to kill you."

As he spoke, the man slowly stood up.

He scanned the surroundings, looking for a suitable moment to escape from here.

Hearing his words and seeing his expression, Ning Chen knew he intended to flee.

Even if the man escaped, he could not guarantee that no one else here wanted to kill Lin Yi.

Therefore, he could not pursue him.

Finally, just as the man fled right before his eyes, Ning Chen stood there with his hands in his pockets, watching silently.

After watching the man depart, Ning Chen finally turned his attention to Lin Yi, who had fainted on the ground.

Lin Yi was covered almost entirely in injuries, looking extremely wretched.

He picked Lin Yi up and carried him back.

Upon entering the Yijin Sect, the girl looked straight at Ning Chen.

"God, what happened to this?"

The girl was naturally referring to Lin Yi.

With Ning Chen's change in attitude toward Lin Yi, she naturally held no guard against Lin Yi either.

Ning Chen said nothing and placed Lin Yi on the sofa.

He slowly took off Lin Yi's upper garment; Lin Yi's upper body had many wounds, and they were all still bleeding.

Ning Chen stood up, turned around, and went to find the medical kit.

If his memory served him correctly, the medical kit should be in Lin Yi's room.

Upon entering the room, Ning Chen followed his memory and found the medical kit under the table.

At the same time, he also saw a wooden box placed nearby, its lock still half-open.

Driven by curiosity, Ning Chen opened that wooden box.
