In a quiet basement, due to Lin Hai continuously emitting Gang Qi and the confined space, the temperature around was extremely high.

Lin Hai only then noticed that his Gang Qi had become special, in addition to the life-and-death property, there was also an intensely hot aura.

He was very curious about this development. Last time, he had broken through to the second-rank Supreme Expert realm with the help of the blood and Holy Blood in the Bone Finger ring. Now, with the addition of this burning aura in his Gang Qi, could there be a connection?

However, now was not the time to consider these things.

He was currently doing his utmost to heal Wang Jingjing.

At this moment, Wang Jingjing lay quietly on a bed, her body naked except for the key areas covered.

Shedding her outer garments, her ice-crystal-like skin immediately captivated anyone who laid eyes on her.

At this moment, Lin Hai had no thoughts of disrespect or misconduct; he was concentrating on forcing the bullet out of Wang Jingjing's abdomen using his Gang Qi.

With a clink, a bullet fell onto the ground amidst the blood.

After stabilizing Wang Jingjing's condition, Lin Hai couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Just now, to save her life, Lin Hai had resorted to using the Soul Chasing Life Stealing Hand technique three times in full, a specialized Acupoint Technique.

Moreover, he had performed acupuncture on her, employing the Heavenly Creation acupuncture technique.

After several stabilizations and treatments, only less than 20% of his Gang Qi remained in Lin Hai's body.

At the moment, he was just waiting for Wang Jingjing to regain consciousness, and then they would be safe.

"How strange, why do I feel that her physique is very special?"

Wiping away sweat, Lin Hai leaned against the corner, lost in thought.

Shaking his head, everything had to wait until his Gang Qi recovered before he could further investigate.

This was Song Zong's temporary hideout in Huadu, commandeered by someone overbearingly.

Outside, it was raining, and Song Zong stood at the doorway, serving as a loyal guard, preventing any malicious person from entering.

He had to be loyal; Lin Hai had just subjected his entire body to a special Acupoint Technique, a method harsher than the one used on the black Assassin, Lubis. Every three days, if Lin Hai didn't resolve the crisis of the acupoints, Song Zong would die from his meridians completely shattering.

Hence, Song Zong now feared any mishap to Lin Hai more than Lin Hai feared for his own life, prioritizing his safety above all else.

Cross-legged and recuperating, Lin Hai considered ways to quickly restore his Gang Qi.

Meanwhile, he did not forget to familiarize himself with the last four techniques of the Eight Stele Hand in his mind.

The number of Experts in Huadu was increasing, his intuition telling him that others were ready to stir the waters for their gain.

Currently, the underground world of Huadu was tumultuous, and such news couldn't be hidden.

Anyone with a bit of ambition would think of taking the opportunity to grab a piece of the pie.

This time, even the Sniper King had been brought out; had it not been for his encounter, if it were Judge and the others, they could have been in mortal danger, showing the opponent's originally resolute intent, only overlooking his unique presence.

"Wu Runfa was originally just a Third-rank organization in Huadu, there is no way they could afford to hire the Sniper King nor manage such international channels. Thus, behind Wu Runfa, there must be a real mastermind."

"Who could it be?"

Lin Hai pondered over this question.

The fact that the enemy had someone directly assassinate Wang Jingjing, coupled with what he knew from Song Zong's mouth, that Wu Runfa had instructed him to publicly claim that Bai Gu wanted to kill his own sister.

It indicated that the enemy had already investigated the relationship between Bai Gu and his sister.

Such people are definitely not ordinary figures in Huaxia.

The bizarre occurrence of the major fire at the school's musical staircase teachers only seemed suspicious to Lin Hai now.

A fire requires certain necessary conditions and it cannot spread so rapidly at first unless it was arson.

But why would someone commit arson? Could it also be to kill Wang Jingjing?

Lin Hai shook his head, discarding this idea. If someone wanted to kill Wang Jingjing, they wouldn't go through so much trouble, they could just hire an Assassin.

...

The next morning, Lin Hai opened his eyes, and the rate of recovery of his Gang Qi had also sped up, recovering to about seventy percent overnight.

Wang Jingjing made a faint sound while lying in bed.

Lin Hai hurried over and, after taking her pulse, confirmed that Wang Jingjing was completely out of mortal danger.

Suddenly, a loud sound of intense combat came from outside the door.

"Damn it, can't I have a moment of peace?" Lin Hai frowned.

Crack—a sound of bones breaking; Song Zong screamed out in pain, seemingly at a disadvantage.

Bang—the basement door was violently smashed open by someone panting heavily with a strong smell of blood about him.

"Bai Gu?" Lin Hai recognized him at a glance, but now Bai Gu's eyes were eerily red, and his muscles seemed to be stretched to their limits, radiating a murderous aura.

At this moment, Song Zong was held in Bai Gu's hand, spitting blood and showing a horrified expression in his eyes; he had not expected that a guy nearly two meters tall and as thin as a stick could severely injure him within three moves.

"Lin Hai, you bastard, how dare you plot against Skeleton Club and hurt my sister, I want you dead!"

After saying this, Bai Gu gave Lin Hai no chance to react, hurling Song Zong harshly onto the ground and charged at him.

"What do you want, Bai Gu?" Lin Hai raised his eyebrows.

"What do I want? You know what you've done. Out of three thousand brothers in the Skeleton Club, only a few hundred are left; today I'll make your life worse than death."

Bai Gu, looking crazed, threw a punch.

Lin Hai was shocked to find that Bai Gu had suddenly exploded with the strength of a second-rank Supreme!

Thump—their fists collided, creating a massive sound that even cracked the cement floor of the basement.

"How did you suddenly become so strong? Is this your real strength?" Lin Hai asked, furrowing his brow; that punch was almost as powerful as his own at his peak.

Bai Gu remained silent, furiously launching an attack with thunderous fist power, going all out with every punch.

The violent collisions continued unceasingly; Lin Hai cleverly applied exquisite techniques from Eight Stele Hand to barely neutralize Bai Gu's strong attacks.

The more intense the confrontation, the more shocked his heart was—how had Bai Gu become so powerful all of a sudden!

"Let's talk this out first, what exactly happened to you?!" Lin Hai asked while fighting.

Bai Gu still didn't say a word, just kept on attacking wildly.

After dozens of moves, Lin Hai noticed that Bai Gu's energy was growing weaker.

After another dozen full-powered moves, Bai Gu stopped moving altogether, his whole body shuddering violently as if he was enduring immense pain.

Suddenly, without warning, Bai Gu fell down.

Lin Hai rushed over and held Bai Gu, finding that his heart was failing.
