The ten vehicles braked the moment they heard Bai Jinghong’s command.
Five people disembarked from each vehicle.
The Underworld Guards, who had initially prepared to charge forward immediately, were also shocked by the sight before them.
Why were there so many cars? And why had so many people come out?
At a glance, forty-five people!
“Damn it!” Chen Lin was also startled. He quickly did a roll and hid behind a tree.
The Underworld Guards were about to flee, but the people who got out of the cars didn’t waste any words. They raised their guns and fired directly into the woods.
On the dark Mountain Forest Road, besides the headlights, there was only the muzzle flashes.
The originally fresh air became thick with the smell of gunpowder.
Bullets covered a wide area.
They didn’t even have a chance to escape.
Amidst the chaotic gunfire, four Underworld Guards died on the spot, riddled with who knew how many bullets.
They didn’t even have a chance to fire back.
The remaining Underworld Guard was relatively lucky.
He was hit in the arm, thigh, and shoulder. These three wounds caused him to collapse to the ground, accidentally avoiding the first volley of fire.
He didn’t become a beehive.
Even Chen Lin was caught off guard and terrified.
This scale was larger than a platoon, almost two platoons.
Had the ambush turned into a small-scale skirmish?
He was furious; he had truly miscalculated.
He had initially thought that this guy would bring out five or six bodyguards at most.
Who could have imagined he would bring almost two platoons? Even top central leaders don’t travel with such a massive entourage!
If someone didn’t know better, they’d think he was originally going out for a fight. How was this going out for fun?
Chen Lin controlled his emotions with extreme effort, even controlling his breathing.
Years of combat experience told him he couldn’t act on impulse now.
The moment he showed his head, a new round of fire would come.
He was a War God, not a god. He could still die if hit by a bullet.
The bodyguards had already crossed the road to inspect the battlefield.
“Young Master Bai, one is still alive!” a bodyguard responded.
Bai Jinghong’s gaze still lingered behind that tree.
There was one more there, and judging by the body shape and appearance, it was that idiot Chen Lin.
It was originally just a bunch of small fry; he hadn’t expected to hook such a big fish. This was a perfect chance to screw Chen Lin over.
“Good, very good. Gag him to prevent him from biting his tongue and committing suicide. Take him back and give him proper medical treatment. We’ll find out who’s behind this later.”
Bai Jinghong feigned ignorance, but his eyes were constantly fixed on the large tree in the forest, a cold sneer curling at the corner of his mouth.
Chen Lin behind the tree naturally heard Bai Jinghong’s words.
His expression immediately changed drastically.
If all the Underworld Guards were dead, then so be it.
With his skills, Bai Jinghong’s bodyguards wouldn’t be able to catch him in the forest.
But one person was still alive!
This was a huge problem.
He trusted the loyalty of the Underworld Guards; even if captured, they wouldn’t betray him.
But Chen Lin also didn’t dare underestimate Bai Jinghong’s ruthlessness.
There were thousands of ways to torture someone. What if forced confession came out, and they followed the clues? They might find some information about him.
Once there was concrete evidence, his acts of ambushing Bai Jinghong and bringing people into the country illegally would be confirmed.
Even without Bai Jinghong lifting a finger, people from above would naturally take action.
“No, I must eliminate all loose ends!” Chen Lin made a ruthless decision in his heart.
This surviving Underworld Guard had to die. Otherwise, the trouble would eventually implicate him.
Once suspicion fell on him, although there were ways to clear it, it would be extremely time-consuming and laborious.
He’d rather be ruthless than let someone seize evidence against him.
Chen Lin was ready to make his move right then.
This time, his target was one of his own men.
With years of combat experience, Chen Lin didn’t show himself but chambered a round and waited.
With his marksmanship, he was confident he could score a clean headshot.
Bai Jinghong’s bodyguards carried the severely wounded Underworld Guard and helped him into the car.
Then Chen Lin suddenly leaned out, aiming his pistol directly at the Underworld Guard inside the car.
“Bang!”
A gunshot rang out.
The bullet flew rapidly towards that person’s head in the back seat.
At a distance of less than a hundred meters, the bullet could easily shatter the car window glass, pass through, and hit the Underworld Guard’s temple.
“Pop!”
The bullet did hit, and indeed, the target was the temple position.
It had to be said, Chen Lin’s marksmanship was impressive!
But what made Chen Lin want to curse was that the bullet was blocked by the glass, leaving only a mark on it.
Most crucially, it alerted the Underworld Guard inside. Although weakened, he wasn’t unconscious.
He even turned his head to look towards the jungle, his face full of despair!
“Damn it all!” Chen Lin thought, realizing things were bad.
Another miscalculation! That bastard Bai Jinghong was so insidious; even the car windows were bulletproof!
Now the Underworld Guard knew about his attempt to silence him. Would this action make him betray Chen Lin? That was uncertain!
“There’s still someone! Brothers, fire!”
Ah Kun was startled, not expecting there were still remaining people.
If Bai Jinghong were to be harmed because of this, his death would not atone for the crime.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Gunfire erupted.
Chen Lin was forced back behind the tree, pressing his entire body tightly against it.
These people wouldn’t keep firing randomly forever; there would definitely be a pause, or they might come in to search.
That would be his chance to escape.
Chen Lin kept his eyes on all directions and his ears open.
Ready to withdraw at any moment.
Just as the bodyguards were about to enter and search, Bai Jinghong said directly:
“Don’t go over there. Reload your bullets and aim at that tree I’m shooting.”
As Bai Jinghong spoke, he took a bodyguard’s gun, raised his hand, and aimed at the tree Chen Lin was hiding behind.
“Bang!”
A shot fired.
Splinters of bark burst open, forming a shallow bullet crater.
“The moment the person inside comes out, shoot immediately!”
The bodyguards were all amazed. They never expected their young master had such divine skill.
To accurately pinpoint the opponent’s position in this situation.
They immediately raised their guns, aiming over there.
The reason he didn’t send people in was that Bai Jinghong knew all too well Chen Lin’s combat prowess in the jungle.
If his men rashly rushed into this pitch-black environment, it would give Chen Lin the perfect opportunity to escape.
Chen Lin could easily subdue one person, use them as a shield, and safely withdraw.
Bai Jinghong didn’t think he could kill Chen Lin right now; the man was a Child of Fortune, a War God, after all.
But even if he couldn’t kill him, he had to make sure he left injured.
“Bang!”
Bai Jinghong fired again, hitting the same spot.
The point of impact deepened slightly.
Chen Lin panicked.
He hadn’t anticipated there was such an expert over there.
He could feel the vibration when bullets hit the tree he was hiding behind.
Two impacts in the same spot meant a few more shots might penetrate the tree.
He would inevitably be hit then.
And if he jumped out, there would be covering fire.
But a War God was still a War God; he immediately came up with a counter-strategy.
Climb the tree.
Once up the tree, he could jump to other branches. That way, he still had a chance to slip away.
He also resented why the trees here weren’t denser, just sparse and scattered. Otherwise, he would have left long ago.
None of this could escape Bai Jinghong’s Soul Capturing Eye.
Bai Jinghong really wanted to laugh. Forcing a War God into such a predicament gave him a very satisfying feeling.
Watching Chen Lin behind the tree, bouncing upwards slowly like a toad, Bai Jinghong picked up the gun again and fired a shot at a position higher up.
Chen Lin ducked his head and quickly slid back down.
“Fuck…” Chen Lin gritted his teeth and cursed lowly.
“Ah Kun, have a few cars point their headlights over there!” Bai Jinghong ordered with a smile.
Soon, several cars turned on their high beams, adjusted their positions, and illuminated the woods.
The jungle instantly became brilliantly bright.
Chen Lin felt the pressure multiply, his heart pounding rapidly.
“Could it be that I, the mighty Hades, the War God, am going to fall to that waste’s bodyguards?”
