At this moment, some security guards might have heard the commotion and come over for a patrol. Seeing Liu Yilin and Feng Wu, who was covered in blood, they hurried over and asked, "Miss Liu, what happened?"
"Stop him, he's going to kill us." Liu Yilin, seeing the security guards, felt a glimmer of hope and quickly pointed at Ryan, who was walking towards them.
The security guard, unaware of the full situation, immediately drew his stun baton and pointed it at Ryan, threatening him. "You scoundrel, how dare you cause trouble on my turf."
Ryan completely ignored the security guard's threat and continued walking towards Liu Yilin and the others. The security guard, seeing that Ryan dared to disregard him, pressed the red button on his stun baton. The baton immediately emitted crackling sounds of electricity, and with sparks, he lunged at Ryan. However, in the next second, the security guard was sent flying like a smashed watermelon. After landing, his body was completely mangled. His stun baton, still emitting sparks, made sizzling sounds in the blood.
Ning Beichen was unaware of these events at the time. With Feng Wu present, ordinary people wouldn't be able to deal with Liu Yilin, so Ning Beichen wasn't overly concerned about her safety. He was currently in another location, talking to a man about his senior sister.
His senior sister had mentioned discovering the whereabouts of the Jiugong Ce and had gone there alone. However, yesterday, Ning Beichen lost contact with his senior sister, Nangong Feiyan, which greatly worried him.
"Chen Jie, my senior sister has suddenly gone incommunicado. She might be in trouble. Go to Annan immediately and assist her. If necessary, mobilize all your resources," Ning Beichen instructed the man before him.
"Understood, Brother Chen. I'll arrange for personnel to go over right away and will depart myself," said the man, who wore gold-rimmed glasses and had a refined appearance, respectfully to Ning Beichen.
"Go. Contact me anytime if anything comes up," Ning Beichen waved him away. The man soon departed.
Ning Beichen then stood up and looked up at the sky. Nangong Feiyan had made an agreement with Ning Beichen when she left: she had to call him once a day to let him know she was safe. But from yesterday until now, Nangong Feiyan hadn't contacted him. Ning Beichen knew his senior sister wasn't someone who would neglect such an arrangement, so something must have happened to prevent her from contacting him.
Although Nangong Feiyan was only a registered disciple of their master and didn't have the qualifications to learn his core techniques, Ning Beichen didn't look down on his senior sister because of it. Not to mention she was his senior sister, but she had also gifted him three volumes of the Jiugong Ce. Such a great debt of gratitude meant Ning Beichen couldn't ignore her safety.
"I hope nothing has happened to Senior Sister," Ning Beichen looked at the sky, feeling a slight unease, then sighed and prepared to leave and return.
"Captain, bad news! Miss Liu is under attack."
"You stop the assailant immediately, and I'll be there shortly!" Shi Yong suddenly received a call from his subordinate and immediately stood up. Without even time to dress, he rushed out with his men. Although Shi Yong hadn't assigned people to monitor Liu Yilin recently, he had instructed the outer personnel to keep an eye on her safety. Thus, when Liu Yilin was attacked, the outer personnel immediately notified Shi Yong.
At this point, Liu Yilin felt despair. However, she didn't abandon Feng Wu and flee alone. For Ning Beichen, there were things one would do and things one wouldn't; it was the same for Liu Yilin. Moreover, she knew she was defenseless and wouldn't be able to escape even if she abandoned Feng Wu. Therefore, all she could do now was gamble, gambling that Ning Beichen would return in time to rescue her. Unfortunately, when she fled, she hadn't had time to grab her phone, so she couldn't notify Ning Beichen, and she didn't know if he was aware of what was happening here. But Ryan was right in front of her, less than ten meters away. Even if Ning Beichen could fly, it might be too late to save her.
"Am I really going to die?" Unexpectedly, Liu Yilin didn't feel too afraid of death, only a sense of reluctance and regret. "If I die, will that person grieve for me?" Liu Yilin, holding Feng Wu's hands, somehow pictured Ning Beichen's figure in her mind. Unconsciously, she activated the Yin Xing Jue, and a wisp of his aura that Ning Beichen had left in her meridians was activated.
Ning Beichen, who was far away, immediately felt something. His pupils contracted, and he began to sprint down the street.
"Look, look! That person is running so fast!"
"My heavens! With that speed, it must be beyond the human sprinting world record!"
At this moment, a young man dressed fashionably was cruising down the street in a flashy convertible sports car, revving the engine periodically. Suddenly, a dark figure appeared beside him. Before the young man could even comprehend what was happening, he was thrown out of the driver's seat by a force. Fortunately, this strange force didn't cause him any serious harm, only making him fall to the side of the road with a minor abrasion. However, his flashy sports car disappeared down the street with a roar.
"Robbery!"
"Someone stole my car!" After a long moment, the young man finally came to his senses and cried out miserably.
The person who stole the car was naturally Ning Beichen. Fearing that surveillance cameras on the road might capture his image, he had put on a motorcycle helmet he had acquired from somewhere. At this moment, all that was in his mind was speed. He needed to return to Liu Yilin's side as quickly as possible. Ning Beichen had initially left his aura and some minor tricks in her meridians when teaching her cultivation, precisely in case Liu Yilin got into trouble or was captured. As long as Liu Yilin activated the aura Ning Beichen had left in her meridians, he could sense it regardless of his location. Of course, merely sensing it wasn't enough. Ning Beichen had also left a contingency plan, a minor sorcery he learned from Haitang, which allowed him to see Liu Yilin's situation.
Ning Beichen's expression was grim. He didn't know who was targeting Liu Yilin, but he saw the image of Liu Yilin dragging Feng Wu, which made him rush back like a madman to save her. However, even Ning Beichen's speed had limits. He was driving the sports car so fast that it was about to fall apart, yet he was still some distance from Liu Yilin's home. This made Ning Beichen anxious. He blamed himself for being too lax recently, thinking that not many people would target Liu Yilin anymore, so he wasn't as cautious as before. Coupled with Feng Wu's protection, he believed Liu Yilin would be fine. But now, he saw Feng Wu looking half-dead. If Liu Yilin and Feng Wu died, Ning Beichen didn't know what terrible things he might do.
