"Damn it, he's even wearing night vision goggles!" Lu Fan couldn't help but curse inwardly. It seemed the power outage wasn't accidental. Was it the Lin family targeting him? They were certainly fast!
The red dot floating in the air was indeed from night vision goggles, worn by a person dressed in a stealth suit. This person moved without a sound, indicating considerable skill.
*Swish...* Lu Fan pulled open his room door and, hands on the wall, tiptoed out, muttering, "Damn it! Why did the power go out so suddenly? How am I supposed to get downstairs!"
The approaching figure seemed startled and stopped abruptly. However, upon seeing Lu Fan fumbling along the wall like a blind man, he immediately relaxed. *Swish...* Drawing a dagger, he lunged at Lu Fan like a gust of wind.
If he could kill Lu Fan, he would receive a substantial sum of money, enough to live a life of leisure for half his life. This kid came out of that door, and whether he was Lu Fan or not, he had to die today. What if it was him!
*Swish...* In the darkness, a cold glint sliced towards Lu Fan's neck.
*Crunch...* Lu Fan suddenly opened his mouth and bit down on the incoming dagger. *Snap...!* Lu Fan, with what seemed like a wild swing, slapped the assailant. The other guy instantly felt a burning pain on his face, and *thump...* his super-awesome infrared night vision goggles clattered to the ground.
"Holy crap..." With his goggles gone, the guy was as good as blind. He turned and stumbled away, fleeing.
Lu Fan removed the dagger from his mouth and weighed it in his hand. Just as he was about to throw it, he frowned. He looked down and saw a small earphone on the ground. "Hmph! Someone set a trap for me?" Fine! I'll see what you've got! A cold smile touched his lips, and he unhurriedly pursued the fleeing figure.
The person ahead sprinted to the window at the end of the corridor and leaped out. Three stories wasn't excessively high, but jumping out directly was not something an ordinary person could do.
Outside the window, only a few sparse stars dotted the night sky, not even a sliver of a moon. However, the streetlights outside the hotel perfectly illuminated the area below. Once he jumped, he would be completely exposed. Damn it! They had truly accounted for the time and place.
Lu Fan reached the window and suddenly leaped...
*Bang... bang...* Almost simultaneously, two muffled thuds were heard, and sparks flew as bullets struck the wall tiles by the window!
"What the hell! There really are guns! And the power of these guns is nothing like the handguns I've seen before!" Lu Fan inwardly rejoiced. Fortunately, he had anticipated this. He had jumped upwards from the window, his body pressed against the wall diagonally above. If he had jumped down, he would likely be crippled.
*Swish...* Lu Fan's body suddenly slid down the wall at high speed.
*Bang bang bang...* A series of bullets landed where Lu Fan's body had just passed, sending sparks flying.
"Damn it! I was careless! Two snipers!?" As Lu Fan descended, he spotted the two locations from which he was being shot. Both were on the fifth floor of the opposite building, across a street, and at a considerable distance. This was extremely disadvantageous for him.
*Whoosh...* The moment Lu Fan's feet touched the ground, he sprinted forward with extreme speed, crossing the street in just two seconds.
He was now fully exposed to their line of sight, so Lu Fan didn't pursue the first attacker. Instead, he charged towards the opposite building. He detested leaving his fate in the hands of others and absolutely refused to have guns pointed at him. These two had to be eliminated; otherwise, he would be in constant danger.
The two snipers on the upper floor suddenly lost their target. Although they wore night vision goggles, Lu Fan's speed was simply too great. Even in daylight, such speed would be difficult for them to track.
"Damn it! Where are those experts? Weren't they supposed to keep Lu Fan busy and give us an opportunity to strike!" one of the snipers cursed from upstairs.
This wasn't entirely their fault. Everyone assumed Lu Fan wouldn't be able to evade the snipers' initial volley. Furthermore, Lu Fan hadn't pursued the first attacker, leaving no opportunity for those lying in ambush to make their move.
"Let's get out of here..." The other sniper on the opposite side of the building seemed to sense danger and immediately shouted, grabbing his rifle and preparing to leave.
*Whoosh...* Suddenly, a streak of white light shot through the air like lightning. *Thwack...* A dagger pierced the guy's chest. *Plop...* The man collapsed to the ground.
The other guy was instantly terrified. He quickly aimed his sniper rifle at Lu Fan, who had been standing opposite him.
*Whoosh...* Lu Fan suddenly vanished from his scope.
There were no streetlights on the upper floor, and the night was pitch black. It was not easy to track Lu Fan's movements.
*Whoosh...* A dagger plunged directly into the sniper's chest. *Ugh...* The man slumped to the ground.
"Hmph! Two sniper rifles are mine now! I'll study these things properly later!" Lu Fan walked over and collected both sniper rifles and their cases.
In the business van parked by the roadside, Lin Quan was on the verge of exploding with anger. Five or six formidable individuals beside him couldn't even catch a glimpse of Lu Fan.
"Elder Ma! Only you can act now! This brat must be killed today." Lin Quan, though furious, dared not vent his anger at Elder Ma. With no further communication from the two snipers, he assumed something had happened to them. Now, he was placing all his hopes on Elder Ma.
"Don't worry! He'll come to us. With six of us, can't we handle just one person?! Hmph!" Elder Ma, however, appeared unhurried, gesturing dismissively.
"Lin Quan! Are you waiting for me?" Suddenly, a voice echoed, and a figure appeared in front of the business van.
"Lu... Lu Fan! Quickly... quickly kill him!" Lin Quan, seeing Lu Fan standing before him, was both shocked and enraged, shouting and pointing at Lu Fan.
*Whoosh...* Five figures in black swiftly surrounded Lu Fan.
"Lin Quan! Today, you won't escape!" Lu Fan stared coldly at Lin Quan. This guy had to die.
*Swish...* A treasured sword suddenly appeared in Lu Fan's hand.
Elder Ma, standing beside Lin Quan,'s eyes instantly lit up. "The Falling Blossom Sword! It is indeed the Falling Blossom Sword!"
