"Boss, there’s a car up ahead blocking us." the bodyguard driving said.

Jinye couldn’t help but look up, and right then, the passenger window of the BMW in front rolled down. A face that made Jinye furious, hateful, and terrified all at once appeared in front of him. It was none other than Lin Mu.

Lin Mu sat in the passenger seat, grinned at Jinye’s car, then raised his hand to say hi.

"So it’s you, Lin Mu." Jinye said viciously.

"Looks like today is the day to settle things with you." Uro Iji, sitting next to Jinye, said coldly.

"But it seems like we aren’t his match." Jinye was still worried. That night he’d seen Lin Mu use some freaky moves to take down four Ninjas. Those four could barely stall Lin Mu as it was, and now Lin Mu had a few more badass helpers with him. In that case, even a team-up between Jinye and the Jushi Association would end in failure.

"Relax. Don’t forget our final trump card—the DNA-catalyzing enzyme. With that, let alone one Lin Mu, even a dozen Lin Mus wouldn’t be a threat." Uro Iji wasn’t too worried. He knew how nasty this drug was. Lin Mu was strong, sure, but no way he could fight against the power of that serum.

After hearing that, Jinye finally relaxed a little. He was still anxious, but with the situation pressing like this, there was no other way.

"Get out." Uro Iji said, then opened the car door and stepped out.

Jinye got out from the other side, and the four Ninjas followed him out of the car.

Lin Mu sat in the car, exhaled a puff of smoke, then opened the door and got out. Gray Wolf, Golden Wolf, and Man Luo also stepped out of the car.

"Heh, nice, everyone’s here this time. Perfect, we can finish this all at once!" Lin Mu looked at Jinye with a cheerful smile and said.

"Lin Mu, don’t get cocky." Jinye said coldly.

Lin Mu shrugged. "Jinye, you’re already a stray dog now, your old nest wiped out by the Iron Blood Corps. With something this exciting going on, how could I not enjoy it a little?"

"You..." Jinye pointed at Lin Mu in rage, itching to rush up and tear Lin Mu to pieces right then and there.

But rationality told Jinye he wasn’t Lin Mu’s opponent. If he rushed in, he’d just be throwing his life away, so he forced himself to calm down.

"You dumbass Jinye, running away in such a hurry—what, scared you’ll die in my hands?" Lin Mu said with an easy grin.

"Don’t fucking bullshit. What do you want? Just spit it out." Jinye didn’t want to waste any more time. The armed police unit would catch up soon; if Lin Mu dragged him here, he’d have a hard time escaping.

"I don’t want anything in particular. I just don’t want to miss such a great opportunity, so I figured I’d play with you a bit." Lin Mu said, smiling.

"I don’t have that kind of time to play with you."

"Boss Jin, cut the crap." Uro Iji said from the side, then glared at Lin Mu. "Since you want to play, then stay here and play slowly."

As soon as Uro Iji finished speaking, the figures of the four Ninjas suddenly flashed into place in front of him and Jinye.

"Fuck, you four again? Heh, but it’s not like last time. Last time it was just me alone. Now I’ve got three more helpers. You really think you’ve still got a way out?" Lin Mu said, totally unfazed.

The four Ninjas stood there without saying a word, just raised their Eastern Sabers high above their heads, taking up a desperate-death stance. This was the essence of Bushido: even if they died, they would fight to the end and never surrender. In that sense, Lin Mu actually did admire their damn Samurai Spirit a bit.

Jinye said from behind, "Who lives and who dies is still up in the air. We’ll see."

After Jinye spoke, he and Uro Iji got back into the car, and the driver immediately reversed, turned, and drove off onto another road.

Lin Mu had been about to tell everyone to hurry back to their car, but the four Ninjas suddenly moved and charged at them. Lin Mu also shot forward in a single stride, and the four Ninjas quickly shifted into a formation, their figures flickering as they closed in on Lin Mu. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

At this point Gray Wolf and Golden Wolf couldn’t exactly jump back in the car to chase Jinye; they had to stay and help Lin Mu out.

With two experts, Gray Wolf and Golden Wolf, helping him, Lin Mu was like a fish in water. His offensive power was pushed to the max. Bang bang bang bang—on the quiet road, a series of metallic clangs rang out.

"Finish this fast and we can still catch Jinye and Uro Iji." Lin Mu said.

Gray Wolf and Golden Wolf nodded, then flashed to either side of Lin Mu, launching a pincer attack on the four Ninjas.

The four Ninjas rapidly shifted their positions. They could dodge the attacks from Gray Wolf and Golden Wolf, but had a hard time escaping Lin Mu’s strikes. Lin Mu’s speed was absolutely lightning fast. Suddenly, Lin Mu burst out with his ultimate move—a mass of Black Qi surged straight at a Ninja’s face. That Ninja was caught off guard and tried to use the Invisibility Technique to dodge, but it was too late. Lin Mu followed up with a heavy punch, smashing a clear fist mark into the Ninja’s chest. The next second, that Ninja flew backward like a kite with its string cut, spitting a mouthful of blood that, under the streetlights, looked like a dazzling rainbow!

The other three Ninjas flashed to the fallen Ninja’s side and pulled a small vial out of their pockets. As soon as Lin Mu saw the vial, he recognized it. It was the improved DNA-catalyzing enzyme, and Lin Mu also knew this was the DNA-catalyzing enzyme Feifei and the others had tampered with.

The three Ninjas grabbed the vials and drank the liquid inside. One of them took another vial and poured the contents into the injured Ninja’s mouth. Very soon, the four Ninjas began to undergo obvious changes. The muscles on their faces started twitching violently, their eyes turned bloodshot, and they gave off a feeling like they were about to go completely insane.

After about a minute, the four Ninjas’ eyes turned sharp and bright. They raised their Eastern Sabers at the same time, stepped forward, and slashed down at Lin Mu together.

"Goddamn, that’s fast." Lin Mu’s body flickered as he stepped back. He could clearly feel that the four Ninjas were much faster than when they’d first shown up.

After dodging, Lin Mu didn’t have time to think any further, because the four Ninjas had already surrounded him and launched their attack.

Whoosh whoosh—the four Ninjas swung their Eastern Curved Sabers in diagonal slashes. Lin Mu naturally didn’t dare to slack off and hurriedly twisted away to dodge.

Lin Mu’s speed was also extremely fast. With several rapid sidesteps, he dodged the incoming slashes one after another, then spun, lifted his leg, and kicked one of the Ninjas, while his hand shot out to grab another Ninja’s wrist.

But that kick Lin Mu just threw out didn’t do much. That Ninja only staggered back two steps. Lin Mu could clearly feel that the Ninjas’ resistance to blows had increased significantly.
