Nine-Colored Lotus

Chapter 76 Secret Passage

All the teams acted according to plan, while Ye Longlin swaggered into the stronghold.

Anyone who wanted to stop him could only halt ten meters in front of him; no one could get close.

As for Yuan Gang, he gripped a battle saber, from which droplets of blood fell.

"Black Spider's people. Qin Fu, oh Qin Fu, you truly are determined to see this through to the bitter end," Ye Longlin said softly, his voice echoing throughout the entire stronghold.

Qin Fu stood at the very top, still holding a dripping dagger. His slightly sickly pale face broke into a faint smile. "Heavenly King Ye, long time no see."

Ye Longlin stopped, his tone placid. "Indeed. The last time I saw you was when I dragged you back. Honestly, I shouldn't have brought you back then, or so many things wouldn't have happened now."

The battle overseas, during its fiercest moments, was precisely when Qin Fu appeared. The endless artillery fire had left Qin Fu with over ten shrapnel wounds. If Ye Longlin hadn't dragged him back, he would have died overseas that day.

"But what has happened has happened, hasn't it? If I were you, I would surrender."

"The name Black Spider is renowned in the overseas mercenary world. This is merely one of their strongholds, but do you know how much force they've mobilized to deal with you? After all, you are the famous Heavenly King Ye, the sole Five-Star Heavenly King of Jiuzhou. How could we dare to be careless?"

A sickly, pale smile appeared on Qin Fu's face. Figures emerged from the surrounding rooms, all wearing sky-blue checkered short-sleeved shirts. Mockery was etched on each of their faces.

Sky-blue checkered, that was the prison uniform of Mobei Prison.

To appear in such a scene wearing prison uniforms was a clear display of disdain.

"Even if all Class A war criminals were here, to me, it would merely be a waste of a little time."

From beginning to end, Ye Longlin remained exceptionally calm. In fact, upon seeing these hundreds of war criminals emerge, he seemed somewhat excited.

"Heh, Heavenly King Ye, no matter how strong your combat prowess, you are no match for us. Do you underestimate us too much?" Da Congming sneered. No one liked the dark and dreary life in prison.

Did these war criminals not recognize Ye Longlin? After all, they had all suffered under Ye Longlin's torment.

Ye Longlin shook his head slightly. "You are not worthy yet."

"Heavenly King Ye, I think you've grown too accustomed to being high and mighty and have forgotten what combat truly entails. You still dare to underestimate us. Have you perhaps forgotten that every Class A war criminal has the right to be shot and killed?"

Ye Longlin: "..."

This was truly a peculiar way of thinking!

Even a newly interning inspector had the right to draw their weapon and kill a Class A war criminal!

After all, every Class A war criminal had at least several lives on their conscience. Encountering one meant that even if they were shot, no one would be prosecuted; in fact, it would be a meritorious deed.

Thus, the saying "fifty thousand for walking" originated.

Qin Fu's mouth twitched upon hearing this. This fellow was an imbecile.

"Enough!"

As he spoke, no one dared to utter another word.

Qin Fu's gaze fell upon Ye Longlin, his voice cold. "Heavenly King Ye, your wife is still in the water. Do you intend to leave her soaking indefinitely?"

Ye Longlin turned his head and saw Lin Tianai had already fainted, her face ashen.

As a physician, he immediately understood what had happened.

"It's fine if she dies, she can be replaced. Perhaps I'll even thank you."

The pond they were in was not large. The Dragon Pavilion's people could only rescue the woman silently after dealing with the outer guards and entering the water.

He was attracting their attention, also serving to divert their focus.

Qin Fu frowned. "That's your wife."

Ye Longlin sneered. "It was merely a marriage arranged by our parents. I have someone I like, and she has someone she likes. We agreed to divorce at the end of the month. If she dies, it's perfect. That way, my marriage with Ye Longlin will only have widowhood, not divorce!"

Qin Fu gasped, giving Ye Longlin a deep look.

Indeed, those who could reach their current positions were no ordinary individuals. Their ruthlessness was beyond that of common people.

"A true hero never cares about a woman's life or death. I've learned." He spoke indifferently, a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

He had hoped to leverage Lin Tianai to make Ye Longlin hesitate, but now it seemed unlikely.

Ye Longlin lowered his head and lit a cigarette. He could just see a dark shadow flash below. A playful smile touched his lips.

Soon.

"Boom boom boom."

At this moment, a tremor suddenly rang out. Tigers tanks appeared one after another on the shore. These tanks were rusty but still usable.

"Although they are old models and have been retired, they are sufficient to deal with you."

"Even if you had three heads and six arms, you wouldn't survive the barrage of shells!"

Qin Fu grinned menacingly and, with a heave, pulled back the green cloth in front of him, revealing a heavy machine gun.

A Maxim!

The Maxim machine gun was the world's first automatic weapon to complete an automatic cycle powered by gunpowder gas, and also the world's earliest water-cooled machine gun.

As he revealed it, everyone around pulled back their green cloths, revealing identical Maxim guns.

Ye Longlin surveyed his surroundings. He stood in the very center, with all the Maxim machine guns aimed at him, ready to be activated at any moment.

Maxims in front, Tigers behind.

The situation was not optimistic by any measure.

"Ye Longlin, are you stupid? Hurry and leave! This is not the time for you to show off. Who do you think you are? Can you handle a situation like this?" Lin Tianai coughed up some water and regained consciousness. Seeing the scene before her, she was terrified!

When had she ever witnessed such a scene?

With machine guns and tanks all around, anyone would have their legs turn to jelly.

Ye Longlin looked at her with surprise. He hadn't expected her to be concerned for his safety.

"Take her away."

He spoke slowly, as if to himself.

Qin Fu was stunned, not understanding his meaning. However, the next moment, he did.

"Yes!"

A figure emerged from under the water, fully armed.

Qin Fu's expression instantly darkened. A chill ran down his spine, and he instantly understood why Ye Longlin had appeared here alone.

"Heavenly King Ye is indeed Heavenly King Ye. Talented and daring, you actually employed a ruse to achieve your objective. Impressive, truly impressive."

Ye Longlin smiled faintly. "If I didn't do this, I don't think you would have believed me. After all, you are highly intelligent. Of course, if I didn't show myself here, you wouldn't have believed."

Qin Fu nodded. "Indeed. But can you be sure you can leave here alive?"
