Chapter 73

Because it was night, Li Bin drove the car very fast. Now, Mo Zhitao had a persistent aversion to riding in cars, feeling very unsafe. "Li Bin, don't drive so fast, this car's performance isn't good," Mo Zhitao said. He had an accident even with his BMW, which had excellent performance, so this Santana, which cost only a few ten thousand yuan, was even less safe.

"Brother Mo, don't worry. Although the car's condition isn't great, I will definitely drive well," Li Bin said confidently. He had received special training in the special forces and wouldn't have been discharged early if it weren't for the trouble with the young ruffian.

"Okay," Mo Zhitao was also tired. He closed his eyes and leaned back in the car seat, planning to rest for a while. "Call me when we reach Macheng. You should have a good drink with Zhenqiang tonight. I'll transfer the money to you tomorrow, and you can buy a second-hand house."

"Yes, Brother Mo," Li Bin nodded.

Just as the car was halfway through, a piece of wood suddenly flew out in front. Li Bin was already driving fast, and the sudden appearance of the wood made him brake urgently. With a long screech, even so, the Santana still hit the wood. If Li Bin hadn't braked quickly and had good driving skills, their car would have flipped over.

Mo Zhitao had been resting with his eyes closed, but the sudden braking made him open his eyes immediately. "Li Bin, what happened in front?" Mo Zhitao asked.

"Brother Mo, there's an ambush, be careful," Li Bin said worriedly. Damn, if it weren't for his quick reaction, they might have died in a car accident.

"Li Bin, don't drive anymore, let's see what's going on," Mo Zhitao said, feeling dizzy. He seemed to recall the scene of his car accident.

Li Bin nodded, gently opened the car door, and then leaped out like a cheetah. "Bang, bang," just as Li Bin leaped out, gunshots rang out outside.

"Li Bin!" Mo Zhitao shouted, not knowing how skilled Li Bin was. The other party was using guns to attack them, and he didn't know who they were or why they wanted to kill him. Thinking of this, Mo Zhitao took out his phone to call the police, but they were between Qingmei City and Macheng District, and it would take the police at least ten minutes to arrive. No, he had to see who the other party was and why they kept trying to kill him.

As the gunshots rang out, Li Bin had already rolled to the side of the road. "Brother Mo, don't worry, I'm fine. Call the police quickly. As long as we hold on for ten minutes, the police will come," Li Bin shouted loudly. He also wanted to tell the criminals that if they didn't attack him now, they wouldn't have another chance.

Li Bin regretted not carrying a weapon. If he had a gun, he could have retaliated against the criminals.

Following Li Bin's shout, two masked men emerged from the darkness. The man in front held a pistol, while the man behind stood casually.

"Bang, bang, bang," the man in front fired three shots at where Li Bin was, and Li Bin continued to roll on the ground. Li Bin leaped and pounced on the criminal in front.

The criminal didn't expect Li Bin to be so skilled. The information he had was that the target was just a driver and a boss. From Li Bin's skills, he could see that Li Bin was extraordinary. Because it was a close combat, the criminal in front couldn't shoot and put his gun in his waist, then started fighting with Li Bin.

Li Bin attacked the criminal with a straight punch, followed by a grappling move, trying to capture the criminal. "Slap," the criminal didn't expect Li Bin to use martial arts and was hit in the chest, retreating a few steps with a scream.

"Are you a Shaolin disciple?" The tall criminal saw Li Bin use Shaolin Hong Quan and couldn't help but sneer. A bodyguard who knew some external martial arts was nothing to fear. He said to the injured criminal, "You go deal with the person in the car, I'll deal with him."

"Yes," the criminal nodded to the tall criminal and ran towards the car.

"Brother Mo," Li Bin called out worriedly. Last time, Mo Zhitao said he wanted to compete with him, but they never had the time. He didn't know how skilled Mo Zhitao was and couldn't let anything happen to him.

The tall criminal blocked Li Bin and said sinisterly, "Hehe, come, let me test your Shaolin martial arts." He then struck Li Bin with a palm, which came with a powerful wind and thunder sound.

Li Bin was blocked by the criminal and couldn't go to save Mo Zhitao. He had to fight back. As Li Bin fought, he became more and more alarmed. The other party practiced internal martial arts. He had heard from the Shaolin disciples that if they encountered an internal martial arts expert, they should never provoke them. Internal martial arts experts were extremely powerful, and external martial arts practitioners couldn't provoke them. At that time, only true Shaolin disciples could learn internal martial arts, so Li Bin and his group didn't learn it.

"Hmph, go to hell," the criminal sneered after testing Li Bin's martial arts. He then attacked again with a palm, and a gust of wind surrounded Li Bin.

Li Bin wanted to escape the criminal's palm, but he found that no matter where he tried to hide, the palm surrounded him. "Damn, I'll fight you to the death." Li Bin gritted his teeth and used the final killing move of Hong Quan, charging at the criminal, ready to fight to the death. Even if the criminal hit him, he would hit the criminal too.

The tall criminal saw Li Bin's determination and took a step back, then struck with his right hand. "Boom," his palm hit Li Bin, sending him flying. If he hadn't taken a step back, he could have killed Li Bin on the spot.

The other criminal had already rushed to the car and tried to open the door to kill Mo Zhitao. The car door suddenly opened, "Slap," the criminal was knocked to the ground by the door. "Ah," the criminal screamed, and his gun fell to the ground.

Mo Zhitao got out of the car, and the criminal got up from the ground to pick up his gun, but Mo Zhitao punched him, knocking him out. The criminal didn't know martial arts, just some kickboxing.

Seeing that Li Bin was no match for the tall criminal, Mo Zhitao ran over.

The tall criminal was surprised to see Mo Zhitao knock out his companion. It seemed that Mo Zhitao was even more skilled than Li Bin. So, the criminal ignored Li Bin and turned to Mo Zhitao.

"Who are you? Why do you want to kill me?" Mo Zhitao looked at the criminal, sensing the murderous intent in his eyes, guessing that he was a hitman.

"Heh, if someone pays enough, you have to die," the criminal smiled and pounced on Mo Zhitao. He took a big step, and his right hand formed a palm, cutting towards Mo Zhitao. "Boom," the palm, accompanied by a wind and thunder sound, rushed towards Mo Zhitao.

"Is that so? Don't be so arrogant," Mo Zhitao punched the criminal.

"Still Hong Quan?" The criminal saw Mo Zhitao use the same Shaolin Hong Quan as Li Bin and sneered. He thought Mo Zhitao was just another external martial arts practitioner.

Mo Zhitao didn't speak, continuing to attack the criminal with Hong Quan. Li Bin, watching from behind, was very curious. Why hadn't Mo Zhitao ever mentioned being a Shaolin disciple, and he had never seen Mo Zhitao use it before.

However, Li Bin felt that Mo Zhitao's Hong Quan was a bit different from his own, though he couldn't pinpoint the difference. It seemed more powerful and more intimidating.

"Slap," Mo Zhitao broke through the criminal's palm and hit him in the chest. The criminal was pushed back several meters, clutching his chest in shock. "You, what kind of punch is this?"

"Hehe, Hong Quan, didn't you just say that?" Mo Zhitao smiled slightly.

"No, Hong Quan isn't like this. Your bodyguard used Hong Quan, but you didn't," the criminal said angrily. If he hadn't underestimated Mo Zhitao, he wouldn't have been injured.

This was a humiliation for him since he had never been injured in one move. Thinking of this, the criminal roared and drew his hands back in a half-circle, then spun towards Mo Zhitao.

The criminal's move this time was different from before. Before, it was a single palm with a wind and thunder sound. This time, it was two palms, the left with a wind sound and the right with a thunder sound, more powerful than before. Moreover, Mo Zhitao felt his escape routes blocked, and if he retreated, he would be attacked by the criminal's two palms.

This was Mo Zhitao's first formal martial arts battle. He stomped his foot, leaped up, and attacked the criminal instead of retreating. This time, Mo Zhitao felt the danger. The criminal's strength was very strong, and his attacks were very fierce. If he didn't fight to the death, he would be killed.

The sand and mud around Mo Zhitao were kicked up by the criminal's palm, making it hard to see who was who. Li Bin was anxious behind, wanting to help Mo Zhitao, but knowing his martial arts were too weak. If he went forward, he might not only fail to help Mo Zhitao but also endanger him. "Brother Mo, be careful," Li Bin shouted loudly.

"You will all die, no one can escape my killing move," the criminal sneered. "Mo Zhitao, you're lucky. This is my most powerful killing move. Many people with higher status than you have died from it."

The criminal finally understood why he was hired to kill Mo Zhitao. Mo Zhitao wasn't an ordinary person, and an ordinary hitman couldn't deal with him. This move would definitely kill Mo Zhitao.

From the previous exchange, the criminal knew that Mo Zhitao's martial arts were strong, but he didn't know which school he belonged to. However, no matter which school, dying in his most powerful killing move, which combined wind and thunder, was a fate. Hehe, the criminal used all his internal strength, determined to kill Mo Zhitao on the spot.
