"Cowardly as a mouse."
Seeing that the three cars behind him hadn't followed, Sun Da turned around and sneered at Gu Chen.
However, while they didn't sense it, Gu Chen could sense it with his Divine Sense. The three cars hadn't given up at all, and after driving for a while, they indeed reappeared in the rearview mirror.
Suddenly, Uncle Ma's expression turned serious. Clearly, the other party had come prepared and was targeting them.
"Miss, should we deal with them first?"
Uncle Ma licked his lips, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
"Hmm." Sun Jiangman glanced at the navigation; they were still some distance from the train station. "The road ahead is flat and quite wide. Let's get started there."
"Okay." Uncle Ma nodded, and then the car sped off from the roundabout, entering a wide road about fifteen minutes later. There was an intersection here, and not many cars were going to the train station. Uncle Ma was driving the SUV and was about to go a little further when a large truck came towards him.
At first, Uncle Ma didn't realize anything, but soon, Gu Chen shouted, "Get out of the way!"
Upon hearing this, Uncle Ma's pupils contracted, because he only then realized that the large truck had suddenly changed lanes and was heading straight for their car!
The vehicles were traveling at high speeds. If the two cars collided like that, given the size and protective features of the SUV, it would definitely not be able to withstand the impact and might even be thrown off course!
Sun Jiangman's face also showed a look of horror.
"Jump out of the car!"
It was too late for Uncle Ma to swerve. Gu Chen roared, opened the car door, and rolled out. The others, all martial artists, reacted as soon as Gu Chen roared and jumped out of the car.
Sun Jiangman followed closely behind Gu Chen, and with a leap, she grabbed Gu Chen and ran several meters away in an instant.
"Bang!"
A deafening crash came from behind, followed by a long, drawn-out dragging sound, like a tsunami. When everyone turned around, they saw that the SUV's windshield was completely shattered, and the front of the vehicle was badly dented. It had traveled nearly six or seven meters before slowly coming to a stop amidst the smoke.
Seeing this, Sun Da gasped. If they had been still in the car, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
"Damn it!" Uncle Ma's face was extremely ugly. How dare someone ambush the Sun Family? They must have a death wish.
"Are you alright?" Sun Jiangman looked down at Gu Chen and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him lying on the grass at the edge of the road.
"It's nothing." Gu Chen shook his head and said, "Those pursuers from before might be coming soon."
Sure enough, as soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, the three Buick sedans that had been following them drove up from a distance and came to a steady stop at the scene of the accident. Two men suddenly got out of the truck, followed by nine more people from the Buicks, making a total of eleven people, all dressed in identical high-necked black jackets, exuding a menacing aura. They glanced around, then ignored everyone else and slowly walked towards Gu Chen and his group.
"Young Miss!"
Uncle Ma was startled and he and Sister-in-law Hua rushed over.
"People from the Wuji Manor!" When Uncle Ma saw the insignia on the chest of the leading man in black, his expression darkened further. "They're all silver-rank assassins."
The assassins of the Wuji Manor are divided into four ranks: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Supreme!
Generally speaking, only when a top-tier assassin reaches a certain level can they be promoted to a supreme-level assassin!
The silver-ranked assassins appearing now are already considered very high-ranking within the Wuji Manor; almost all of them are martial artists at the Bone-Forge Realm.
There were eleven martial artists at the Bone-Forge Realm in total, and some of them might even be at the Late Bone-Forge Realm. That's why Uncle Ma's face turned extremely gloomy when he saw them.
"Wuji Manor is merely a secular power; they shouldn't dare offend the people of Land of Heaven and Earth. Could it be that someone has hired Wuji Manor to deal with us?" Several thoughts raced through Sun Jiangman's mind. "They don't want our Sun Family to participate in the Aristocratic Family Assembly?"
"It's possible!" Uncle Ma said solemnly, "This Aristocratic Family Assembly is being held outside the Land of Heaven and Earth. It's said that some important resources have been revealed, and the top ten will all get a share. It's not impossible that some people don't want our Sun Family to get them."
"Damn it!" Sun Jiangman's face was filled with coldness as he said, "Kill them!"
"Fine!" Uncle Ma shouted angrily, and then he and Sister-in-law Hua rushed over one after the other.
The eleven assassins were no pushovers either, and they instantly engaged Uncle Ma and Sister-in-law Hua in combat. Uncle Ma was quite strong, having reached the Peak Bone-Forge Realm, just like Sister-in-law Hua. However, there were also martial artists among the assassins. They sent out six people to hold off the two, while the other five continued towards Gu Chen and his group.
As the pressure gradually increased, Sun Jiangman stood up, taking deep breaths and controlling her Inner Breath in preparation for battle.
When Uncle Ma revealed that the group was from the Wuji Manor, Gu Chen began to suspect that they were looking for him, but given the current situation, he naturally couldn't say it aloud. Seeing Sun Jiangman about to make a move, he grabbed her and said, "What are you doing? Your injuries healed overnight?"
"We can't just sit here and wait to die!" Sun Jiangman turned to look at Gu Chen and said, "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you."
Gu Chen shook his head and smiled wryly. He'd been too quick-witted; his excuse about being a virgin had made him unable to act now. Sun Da, however, witnessed this and immediately sneered, "You need my sister to protect you? You're useless!"
With that, he leaped to Sun Jiangman's side, his eyes burning with fervor and his entire being brimming with fighting spirit. He said, "Big sister, we've never fought side by side before. Today is the perfect day for a battle!"
"You're not Bone-Forge Realm! These assassins from the Wuji Manor are all at the Bone-Forge Realm. You'll only hold me back, what's the point of fighting!" Sun Jiangman said coldly, "Get out of the way and take care of Gu Chen for me!"
"Ugh!" Sun Da felt as if he had been doused with cold water, his enthusiasm instantly extinguished. At this moment, Sun Jiangman had already rushed forward, her Sun Family fist techniques wielded with fierce power, forcing the five men to stay away.
Sun Da reluctantly retreated to the back, glaring fiercely at Gu Chen, and said, "Look at you, such a coward."
Gu Chen watched Sun Jiangman's fight with admiration. The Sun Family arts were truly impressive; Sun Jiangman had unleashed their full power. No wonder she was confident of making it into the top ten of the Tiger Ranking. Hearing Sun Da's words, Gu Chen said calmly, "Why don't you make a move? Why are you letting your sister go alone?"
"Are you mocking me?" Sun Da roared in anger. Gu Chen must have heard everything; he'd been driven here by Sun Jiangman. Although he hadn't reached the Bone-Forge Realm, Gu Chen was nothing at all. What right did he have to mock him?
"Do you want to help your sister?" Gu Chen smiled mysteriously and said, "I can help you."
"You'll help me?" Sun Da scoffed. "You can't even withstand one of my punches, what right do you have to help me?"
