The Whale in the Mountains
Chapter 276 The Troublesome People in the Backwater
Luo Qian shouted, her eyebrows raised in anger.
"Hehehe, little girl, I know exactly who you are, that's why I told you not to meddle in other people's business. Too bad your team leader didn't listen. Tsk tsk tsk, now you're involved too!"
"Such a delicate little girl is a rare sight in our godforsaken place. Once I catch you, I'm going to have some fun with you, see if you'll still嫌弃嫌弃 me for being dirty!"
Village Chief Chen said with a lecherous grin, his eyes shamelessly scanning Luo Qian's body.
Luo Qian was furious. "You scoundrel! You think you can catch us?"
"Well, we are a bit short on manpower!"
Village Chief Chen nodded. "In that case, everyone, let's go together!"
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens more people rushed in from outside the temple.
The dilapidated temple, which had been somewhat spacious, was instantly packed.
Seeing this group of people, a look of alarm instantly spread across Luo Qian's face.
This was practically every able-bodied man from the entire Bahu Guan village.
Admittedly, a few dozen people weren't that many, but the thought that the entire village was under the control of this criminal organization sent a chill down Luo Qian's spine.
Especially given the current situation, with Chen Xiao and Li Jianming as burdens. If it were just her and Song Zijian, she wouldn't be afraid even if the number of opponents doubled.
She whispered, "Chen Xiao, when the fight starts, you and Mr. Li should hide first, and run as soon as you get the chance!"
Before Chen Xiao could reply, Village Chief Chen shouted, "Go! Capture them all! Don't let a single one escape! If necessary, kill them!"
Hearing Village Chief Chen's order, the dozens of people rushed towards Song Zijian and the others like madmen.
Li Jianming trembled with fear, hiding next to the incense burner, not daring to move, like a quail.
Song Zijian exchanged a glance with Luo Qian and said, "Same as always, you take the left, I'll take the right!"
"Understood!"
Luo Qian nodded and charged towards the mob.
Song Zijian and Luo Qian were, after all, members of the Evil Exorcism Division, and quite capable.
Chen Xiao noticed that although they weren't Qi Realm martial artists, their combat skills were extremely high.
Especially Song Zijian; if he fought with all his might, he could probably hold his own against a Qi Realm martial artist.
Seeing this, Chen Xiao didn't make a move, but stood aside and watched the show.
Luo Qian noticed out of the corner of her eye that Chen Xiao was standing calmly to the side, and her cheeks puffed up with anger.
Didn't I tell you to find a chance to run? Why are you just standing there watching the fun?
But with so many rioters in front of her, she was already struggling to cope and had no time to pay attention to Chen Xiao.
Luo Qian was finding it difficult to hold on, but fortunately, Song Zijian was there. He had more than enough to deal with the people on the right and could spare some strength to help Luo Qian with a few.
So, the situation quickly became clear.
Although the villagers of Bahu Guan had an absolute advantage in numbers, they were no match for Song Zijian and Luo Qian. The more they fought, the lower their morale became.
Seeing this, Village Chief Chen couldn't help but grit his teeth and roar, "All of you, get back here! Don't embarrass yourselves!"
The villagers obeyed and retreated.
"Hmph, old man, now you know how powerful I am, right? Why don't you just surrender!"
Luo Qian said triumphantly.
But Village Chief Chen chuckled.
"Surrender? Little girl, you really took our little game seriously? You don't think we can't handle the two of you with so many people, do you?"
"Forget it, I'm done playing with you. I'm showing my hand…"
Halfway through his sentence, Village Chief Chen suddenly pulled out a gun from his pocket, the dark muzzle aimed at Song Zijian and Luo Qian.
At the same time, more than a dozen rioters also pulled out guns and aimed them at the two.
Luo Qian was shocked. She was good at martial arts, but she was far from being unafraid of guns.
Song Zijian's face was grim as he said coldly, "You're secretly hoarding firearms, Village Chief Chen. Do you know that this will be an even greater crime?"
Although Song Zijian appeared calm on the surface, Village Chief Chen caught a hint of panic in his eyes, and immediately knew that he wasn't as composed as he seemed.
He said with a sinister smile, "Song, the crimes I've committed are already enough for the death penalty. What does one more crime matter? As long as I'm not caught, I can live the good life!"
Seeing how arrogant Village Chief Chen was, Luo Qian gritted her teeth and said, "You old bastard, I'll send you in sooner or later!"
Hearing this, Village Chief Chen chuckled.
"Little girl, I'm afraid you won't have the chance!"
"And if you follow me, I'm afraid you won't want to send me in!"
Hearing the disgusting old man say such frivolous words, Luo Qian's lungs were about to explode with anger.
"You old thing, you're delusional. I'd rather die than let you get your way."
Village Chief Chen was very annoyed by the constant insults of "old thing," and ordered through gritted teeth, "Damn it, you don't know what's good for you! Capture them all!"
Several strong young rioters immediately walked over with thick ropes used for slaughtering pigs, intending to tie them up like pigs.
But just then, a calm and casual voice suddenly rang out.
"Is that it? Is the fun over?"
Accompanied by this dismissive voice, Chen Xiao slowly walked forward.
Village Chief Chen frowned, not understanding what was going on.
"Boy, stop right there! If you take another step forward, I'll shoot!"
Luo Qian also shouted loudly, "Chen Xiao, don't mess around! Do you want to die?"
But Chen Xiao didn't seem to hear Luo Qian's words. He continued to walk forward, looking at Village Chief Chen with disdain. "Old thing, go ahead and shoot!"
Song Zijian was speechless, and said worriedly, "Could it be that Brother Chen has been frightened and gone crazy?"
Luo Qian desperately shouted, "Chen Xiao, come back! If something happens to you, how will I explain it to Dean Hao?"
Village Chief Chen's face was uncertain. He couldn't understand why this Chen, wasn't he just a small doctor? Why did he dare to walk in front of him like this?
He knew that one shot would take this kid's life!
"Old thing, you've had your fun, and I've had mine. Hurry up and shoot!"
Chen Xiao crossed his arms and stood in front of Village Chief Chen with an arrogant expression, very cocky, very嚣张!
"Damn it, you little bastard, you really think I wouldn't dare?"
Village Chief Chen gritted his teeth, a fierce look in his eyes. The next moment, he pulled the trigger!
Bang—
The gunshot rang out...
