However, Dong Jie was about to rush up with anger on her face, and Luo Chao quickly pulled her back, "Sister Jie, if you go up now, you'll only make things more chaotic. Let's watch this dumb guy's performance first, and then I'll help you teach him a lesson."

"At a time like this, you're still thinking about watching the spectacle." Dong Jie complained, "Xin Xin's reputation is about to be ruined."

"I said there's no problem, so there's no problem." Luo Chao pressed Dong Jie into her seat, "If something goes wrong, I'll stop it immediately. Trust me."

Dong Jie helplessly sat down.

On stage, Pang Qiufeng was indifferent to the audience's angry insults, "I know you all hate me, but so what? Your goddess will still be taken home by me."

By then, some agitated fans had started moving around, and the scene was chaotic. Pang Qiufeng, however, remained calm and gestured to someone backstage.

Suddenly, all the lights in the gymnasium went out. In the pitch-black night, everything became unreal. The audience was startled by this unexpected situation and began to clamour. Tang Yan nervously clutched Luo Chao's arm, "What's happening? Is Xin Xin in danger?"

Luo Chao was about to reassure her that there was nothing to worry about when he suddenly sensed several dangerous presences nearby. Their target seemed to be the two people on stage, so he urgently instructed, "Something's wrong! Stay still, Little Wolf, protect them."

With that, he dashed towards the stage with a swoosh.

All of this was Pang Qiufeng's plan. He bribed the lighting technician to plunge the scene into darkness, then he intended to forcibly kiss Xin Xing'Er, put a ring on her finger, and then turn the lights back on. This way, everyone would witness the scene of them passionately kissing.

People only believe what they see with their own eyes. No matter how Xin Xing'Er explained afterward, no one would believe she had nothing to do with him; they would just assume she accepted his proposal. Hence, she would no longer be pure and would obediently go home with him as his bride.

Thinking of this, he smiled with satisfaction. He felt he was incredibly talented to come up with such a perfect and grand plan.

Spreading his arms, he was about to proceed with the first step of his plan. However, just as he extended his hand, he inexplicably felt a sudden coolness in his palm, followed by a sensation of warmth enveloping it, a comfortably warm feeling.

Huh! Where did the diamond ring in his hand go? Ah! No, my hand! My hand! He tried to touch his face but felt nothing, finally realizing the situation, Pang Qiufeng started to howl in pain.

"Where did my hand go?"

In the originally eerie darkness, his loud wail magnified people's panic. Ignoring everything else, they screamed and rushed out, but those outside had no idea what was happening, wanting to come in and see. This inevitably led to a stampede.

Luo Chao had already reached the stage by then, clearly seeing several figures rushing towards Xin Xing'Er. Pang Qiufeng's hand had been severed by one of them.

He couldn't just watch Xin Xing'Er get hurt, so he flicked his wrist, and several Ice Talismans were clenched between his fingers. He waved his hand, sending them straight at the dark figures, his feet deftly darting forward.

The figures had already detected Luo Chao's threat, leaving two behind to block him, while the other four still reached for Xin Xing'Er. Xin Xing'Er, bewildered by the sudden situation, stood there motionless, not knowing how to dodge.

Seeing her like that made Luo Chao anxious. He wanted to slip through the gap between the two men temporarily slowed by the Ice Talisman.

Just as he was about to pass, the two figures, though covered in frost, employed some secret technique. On the hard ceramic floor, plants like vines grew rapidly, wrapping around Luo Chao's legs. This ability was somewhat similar to Liu Qingqing's Wood Superpower.

The two figures moved quickly, taking the opportunity to slash at Luo Chao's head and abdomen. This alarmed Luo Chao; the distance was too short, and there was no way to dodge, only to parry.

The makeshift Defense Talisman could only block one of the attacks, which meant Luo Chao had to choose one to face with his bare hands.

In the blink of an eye, he judged that the figure aiming for his head was stronger. Moreover, the head was one of the most vital areas, and he dared not gamble his unreliable Defense Talisman on it. If it struck his neck directly, it would certainly be over.

Having made his decision, he hesitated no longer. His arm twisted like a snake, wrapping around the incoming blade, leaving his midsection open for the other to strike his abdomen. At this moment, Luo Chao regretted not bringing the Green Forest Sword with him; otherwise, he wouldn't have to resort to his bare hand.

In an instant, Luo Chao felt a sharp pain in his arm, the sharp blade cutting lines of blood on his skin. Despite the deep cut, it didn't reach the bone, which relieved him. It was merely a flesh wound, not enough to impact his fighting capability greatly.

Thanks to the Earth Core Milk that had significantly enhanced his physique, his muscles were robust enough to withstand that blow.

What relieved him even more was that the makeshift Defense Talisman didn't fail at this critical moment, emitting a faint golden light, deflecting most of the force of the slash at his chest, resulting in just a superficial cut on his clothes and leaving a shallow mark on his abdomen.

He tightened his leg muscles, broke free from the entwining vines, and leapt a few meters. Glancing down at the torn shirt hanging loosely, revealing a slit resembling a wide-open mouth.

"It's you little devils again." Luo Chao simply tore the damaged shirt off and wrapped it around his wound as a bandage, his tone somber.

From the brief encounter, he knew clearly who they were. It wasn't the first time he'd clashed with these ninjas, so he was familiar with some of their tactics.

The two ninjas didn't respond, charging at him with their blades. Their mission was to hold him off so that their companions could abduct the important girl.

They had already succeeded. Those few moments of delay allowed the other figures to capture Xin Xing'Er, stuff her into a large sack, and take her away from the scene.

Luo Chao knew unless he dealt with these two, there was no way to rescue Xin Xing'Er. He stretched his muscles and moved towards them.

Though Luo Chao didn't know why these Japanese were after Xin Xing'Er, he was well aware of one thing—whatever their plot was, he couldn't let it succeed, so rescuing Xin Xing'Er was an absolute necessity.

First, however, he had to deal with the two before him.
