Chapter 137: Guo Huai’s Death!
Chapter 137: Guo Huai’s Death!
Blair, the last foreigner, took off his helmet and threw it away. Then he aimed his strange weapon at the bumper of the Extravagant Battle Car and fired. Whoosh—something like a tempered steel rope shot out and attached firmly to the bumper.
Unaware of this, Tang Chen thought everything had been dealt with and told Yang Mi to sit tight. At that moment, the dashboard lit up again. Xiao Mei reported, “Warning: the Extravagant Battle Car is being invaded by an enemy again. Please handle it quickly, Host.”
Tang Chen was puzzled and said, “Didn’t we just take care of two? How is there another?”
Without wasting words, Xiao Mei displayed an image on the dashboard. Tang Chen saw that Blair was closely following their car, while Guo Huai’s vehicle had pulled up behind Blair’s motorcycle. Blair shot the other end of the tempered steel rope onto Guo Huai’s car, linking Guo Huai’s car to theirs like a train.
“You’re really asking for death!” Tang Chen angrily punched the dashboard. Who was in that Buick, and why were they so relentless?
Although Yang Mi had countless questions swirling inside her, she kept them to herself. Instead, she anxiously said to Tang Chen, “Tang Chen, what should we do?”
Tang Chen thought for a moment, first patting Yang Mi’s hand reassuringly. Then he said to Xiao Mei, “Xiao Mei, the rear compartment of the Extravagant Battle Car can be opened, right? Open the weapon system there. I’m going to deal with them myself.”
Before Xiao Mei could respond, Yang Mi grabbed Tang Chen’s arm and said, “Don’t go, Tang Chen. They have guns—it’s too dangerous!”
Tang Chen held her for a few seconds and then said firmly, “Don’t worry, Yang Mi. I’m tired of these pests tailing us. Once I’ve taken out this trash, we’ll go to the antique market in Jiangnan Village to buy a gift for my Mother-in-Law.” With that, he let go of Yang Mi and crawled toward the back seat.
“Tang Chen, be careful,” Yang Mi called out anxiously. In her heart, nothing mattered more than Tang Chen’s safety.
Tang Chen grunted in acknowledgment. Then Xiao Mei’s mechanical voice slowly announced, “Opening the rear compartment of the Extravagant Battle Car. Submachine Gun activated. Fixed position complete.”
Whoosh!
The rear door of the Extravagant Battle Car slowly opened. A breeze brushed Tang Chen’s face as he came face to face with Blair.
Blair was rather unlucky. After completing his mission, he thought he could leave the rest to the Boss. He never expected the compartment to open just then. In a panic, he reached for his gun but suddenly remembered he had left it behind to carry his gear.
“You dare mess with me? You’re asking for death!” Enraged, Tang Chen grabbed Blair’s hand and yanked him forward. Blair’s motorcycle, now out of control, skidded away and crashed into a nearby tree with a loud bang.
“You idiot!” Tang Chen furiously struck Blair’s head repeatedly. Blair was no match for Tang Chen’s strength and couldn’t fight back. He tried to flip over and clamp Tang Chen’s head with a move like a kip-up, but he was too naive—Tang Chen simply grabbed his right leg and broke it.
“Help me, Boss!” Blair screamed desperately, powerless against Tang Chen.
“Blair!” Seeing his subordinate captured, Guo Huai roared. Since his car was now connected to Tang Chen’s, he didn’t need to drive. He pulled out his Handgun and started shooting at Tang Chen.
“You’re asking for it!” Tang Chen seized Blair by the neck and turned his body around, using him as a perfect shield. Every one of Guo Huai’s bullets struck Blair without exception.
“Bastard!” Guo Huai stomped in fury. He wanted to keep shooting but was afraid of hitting his own man. At that moment, Tang Chen used his strength to throw the half-dead Blair to the ground. The unfortunate Blair was run over by Guo Huai’s wheels, instantly turning into a bloody pulp.
“Die!” Tang Chen roared. The Submachine Gun appeared before him. Though Tang Chen had never learned to shoot, a Submachine Gun didn’t require aiming—just fire!
Rat-a-tat-tat!
A barrage of bullets sprayed toward Guo Huai. To avoid becoming a sieve, Guo Huai ducked back into his car. The bulletproof windows saved his wretched life.
Guo Huai was in a sorry state. With bullets flying overhead, he couldn’t fight back and could only hide like a coward.
“Dammit.” Tang Chen wasn’t satisfied. He dropped the Submachine Gun, his eyes turning cold. Then he leaped out, grabbed the tempered steel rope, and swung toward Guo Huai’s car like a monkey on a vine.
Hearing the gunfire stop, Guo Huai cautiously looked up just in time to see Tang Chen swinging toward him using the rope’s momentum. Thinking it was a perfect opportunity, he raised his gun and fired at Tang Chen.
Bang!
The shot rang out, but it missed Tang Chen. Just before Guo Huai pulled the trigger, Tang Chen jumped down, landing heavily on the Buick’s hood. Then he threw a punch and shattered the bulletproof windshield.
Shards of glass flew everywhere. Though Guo Huai moved quickly, he was still cut. In that moment of delay, Tang Chen clamped his legs around Guo Huai’s head, threw him down, and knocked the gun out of his hand.
“You brought this on yourself!” Guo Huai had little confidence in other areas, but he was very confident in hand-to-hand combat. As a mercenary, he had faced countless fierce opponents—why should he be afraid of Tang Chen?
Guo Huai gripped Tang Chen’s hands tightly, trying to break free while kicking toward Tang Chen’s groin. Tang Chen dodged the vicious kick deftly, releasing Guo Huai’s head and stepping aside. With a loud thud, Guo Huai’s foot hit the steering wheel, breaking it off completely.
“Prepare to die!” Guo Huai ripped off his bulletproof vest, revealing his muscular build, ready to fight Tang Chen to the death in the cramped car.
“Idiot, you think you’re Schwarzenegger?” Tang Chen sneered and swiftly punched Guo Huai in the face. Guo Huai blocked with his arm and countered with a left hook and a knee strike.
Tang Chen reacted quickly. He blocked the knee strike and met Guo Huai’s left hook with a forceful block using his right hand. Then he changed his grip, seized Guo Huai’s fist, twisted it hard, and hooked his leg around Guo Huai’s right calf, throwing him to the ground.
Guo Huai crashed heavily into the driver’s seat. He roared, trying to gouge Tang Chen’s eyes with his fingers, but Tang Chen intercepted his hands and slapped him hard across the face.
Smack!
“I don’t care who you are or what grudge you have against me. If you dare cause trouble for me, you die!” Tang Chen snorted coldly, then slammed Guo Huai’s head repeatedly into the driver’s seat. After several brutal impacts, blood splattered everywhere.
Standing up, Tang Chen stomped repeatedly on Guo Huai’s chest and abdomen, then delivered a powerful kick to his temple. Guo Huai groaned and seemed to pass out.
Tang Chen took a deep breath. Good, it was over. He walked to the front of the car, grabbed the tempered steel rope with both hands, and using his strength, tore it apart. This eliminated any future threats. As for himself, he had a way back.
Once the Buick lost its connection to the Extravagant Battle Car, it began to sway uncontrollably. As Tang Chen prepared to jump off, he heard a loud yell from behind. Guo Huai thrust a Dagger fiercely toward Tang Chen.
Clang!
Tang Chen’s enhanced body deflected the Dagger, but it still hurt. He turned around and punched Guo Huai hard in the temple, then kicked him out of the car. Guo Huai flew through the air and landed heavily on a patch of ground downhill. Tang Chen then stomped hard on the Buick, using the force to propel himself out, landing steadily on the ground.
The Buick, struck by Tang Chen’s tremendous force, flipped over and landed right on top of the already dead Guo Huai. With a roar, the car exploded, and flames shot into the sky!
Tang Chen gave it a brief, indifferent glance and left without a word. He saw the Extravagant Battle Car parked not far ahead, and Yang Mi was running toward him.
