Infiltration!

Infiltration!

Under the shroud of darkness, only that building showed a few scattered lights flickering.

The abandoned little building backed onto the forest, while the other three sides were especially open. So long as someone guarded those three sides, any rustle in the wind would basically be noticed.

Gu Shaoshang frowned and stopped.

Gu Shaoshang's physique was formidable, and his eyesight far surpassed that of ordinary people. Even in the blackest night, he could see clearly. Though he had not reached the level of "Empty Room Generates White," where night was seen as daylight, he could still vaguely make out armed guards patrolling beside the building.

These kidnappers are no simple bunch!

Gu Shaoshang's heart tightened. Even though gangs ran rampant along the coast, guns were not something just anyone could get their hands on!

Even with Gu Shaoshang's powerful physique, he could not simply ignore the lethal threat of firearms!

Gu Shaoshang lifted his hands and feet lightly, inching through the shadows with two coins clenched in his hand.

Though he had no throwing knives, with Gu Shaoshang's strength, the coins he fired might not be as powerful as throwing knives, but they would not be much weaker than bullets!

The wind howled, rolling wave after wave through the grass.

Gu Shaoshang crawled flat against the ground, slithering forward like a snake. The faint rustling he made was swallowed by the wind.

Gu Shaoshang advanced slowly. He took half an hour to crawl the mere few hundred meters.

Gradually, he closed in on the small building.

Two men in black skintight clothes stood on either side of the entrance with guns in hand, six or seven meters apart, each scanning the surroundings.

Around three or four in the morning was the darkest time of day, and also when people were most prone to drowsiness.

Yet these two men were exceptionally alert. They were clearly no ordinary kidnappers.

"Zhao Aiguo is too stubborn. We gave him gifts again and again, trying to get him to release Third Brother, but he ignored us every time. Now that we have his son in our grasp, let's see if he still dares not submit!"

One of the armed kidnappers seemed to glance at his partner as he spoke.

"Dafei, focus and keep watch! Zhao Aiguo is no pushover. He might get the military to send a batch of special forces or some experts to rescue him! We have to keep our eyes peeled!"

The other kidnapper spoke in a low voice, hoarse as a drake's quack.

The kidnapper called Dafei muttered something under his breath. As his gaze swept over the area, it suddenly met a pair of eyes brimming with killing intent.

"You... urgh!"

Gu Shaoshang silently cursed his bad luck. The instant the kidnapper opened his mouth, his body tensed violently and the coins in both his hands shot out.

Whoosh!

They instantly flew into the mouth of the kidnapper named Dafei!

"Urgh!"

Dafei clutched his throat tightly and dropped to his knees. Gu Shaoshang's coin had severed his spine!

The instant Gu Shaoshang fired the coins, his feet drove forcefully against the ground with a muffled boom!

His spine arched high, like a trapped dragon soaring into the heavens. With a tiger pounce, Gu Shaoshang crossed over ten meters and lunged at the other kidnapper.

"Hm? Who's there!"

The other kidnapper was extremely vigilant. The moment Dafei gave that muffled groan, he swung his gun around.

In the Guoshu Records Tang Zichen had left for Wang Chao, it was written:

"At the peak of Transforming Force, one tempers the marrow and becomes one with the Dao. In walking, standing, sitting, and lying down, one is always practicing the fist. With a single movement of intent, one can pounce upon and kill a man within thirty-six paces!"

This meant that Tang Zichen could pounce upon and kill any enemy within thirty-six meters at any time, regardless of whether they wielded guns or cannons!

Gu Shaoshang was only at the peak of Clear Force, but how powerful was his physique? It even surpassed that of some Transforming Force masters!

With a tiger pounce, he reached the kidnapper! His five fingers spread, then tore down like a savage tiger!

The kidnapper did not even have time to pull the trigger before Gu Shaoshang crushed his throat in a single grasp!

Gu Shaoshang casually propped the two kidnappers' corpses against the wall.

After looking around, he circled to the back of the building and found an abandoned water pipe running straight to the roof.

He immediately climbed up the pipe in silence, reaching the rooftop platform in just a few moves.

"Hm?"

Gu Shaoshang held his breath, his ears twitching slightly. He heard the breathing and heartbeats of two people on the rooftop platform!

He first poked his head out for a look, then lightly gripped the edge of the building and flipped backward onto the rooftop platform.

His soles relaxed as though he were stepping on thick cushions. Like a civet cat, he moved without making the slightest sound!

At the edge of the platform ahead, a tough-looking kidnapper leaned over to look below.

"Damn it! Has that bastard Dafei gone off to slack again?"

He muttered under his breath when he suddenly heard a muffled "Urgh!" Then his scalp turned cold.

A red, fishy-smelling liquid trickled down from above his head. He whirled around.

In the pitch-black night, all he saw was a gash split open across his companion's forehead, brain matter mixed with blood slowly spilling out. It was as though a sniper rifle had punched straight through his head in one shot!

The horrifying, bizarre sight made the hardened bandit stagger, nearly falling off the building!

His whole body went cold, his limbs trembling! His companion had actually turned into this without a sound!

And he had not even seen who the enemy was, or where he was!

His mouth flew open as he tried to shout a warning!

But in the next instant, a pair of young, slender hands, as though forged from steel, suddenly clamped tightly over his mouth!

At the same time, a huge force struck the back of his head. Before he could react, darkness swallowed his vision, and he lost consciousness!

Gu Shaoshang let out a soft breath. Though these bandits looked fierce and were somewhat stronger than ordinary people, they were no great problem.

The only thing worth fearing was the guns in their hands!

With a casual flick, a coin pierced through one bandit's head. If that hardened bandit had not been standing at the edge of the building, and if Gu Shaoshang had not feared alarming the other bandits, he would not even have needed to act himself!

Gu Shaoshang casually removed the magazine, poured the bullets into his pocket, but did not take the gun.

First, he did not know how to use a gun. Second, the bullets fired from his own hand were powerful enough to kill just as well!

Gu Shaoshang entered the stairwell through the small door on the platform. One of the rooms inside was lit.

His footsteps were light as he silently shifted positions several times before reaching a dark blind corner.

"Big Brother, Zhao Aiguo won't call the police or bring in reinforcements from the military, will he?"

Gu Shaoshang vaguely saw eight or nine men inside the room, with food and alcohol set out on a wooden table.

The leader was a bald, burly man in a black tank top, the muscles all over his body bulging as he played with a Tang Saber.

Most of the other men wore tight black clothes and masks.

They sat gathered to one side, some sitting and some lying down. The one thing they had in common was that every one of them was armed!

Zhao Liang, who had long since dyed his hair black again, sat to one side with a sallow face. His hands were bound behind his back, and tape was stuck over his mouth.

"I've already informed Zhao Aiguo and told him to come alone! Keep your wits about you. Before dawn, Zhao Aiguo will come! Third Brother is stuck in prison—what face would I have left to return to Big Circle!"

The bald man wiped the long blade in his hand and sneered. "If anyone else comes, cut off this kid's arm first and let his old man see it!"

"Big Brother! Will Zhao Aiguo really release Third Brother? Can he even do that? A prison isn't something he gets to decide alone!"

A long-haired young man with an earring said.

"Don't worry! That old bastard has only this one son, not even a daughter! He won't abandon his son!"

Another short bandit took up the conversation.

As he spoke, he stood up, walked over to Zhao Liang, and tore off the tape covering his mouth.
