Ma Chao, Yan Luo, and Niu Chuang were positioned in front of Ye Xiao and Wu Shengchang, engaging the enemy in combat. Compared to Ma Chao and Yan Luo, it was obvious that Niu Chuang lacked professionalism as an underling. Despite his great strength, sometimes strength was useless. Clearly, the enemies outside were all armed with handguns, rendering brute force ineffective. Moreover, Niu Chuang had never seen such a large-scale confrontation; although he had watched gunfight movies with great excitement, being in the thick of the action left him at a loss. He crouched behind a table, which he used as a shield.

At that moment, Ma Chao retaliated against the attackers with his gun, showing that he was quite a good shot, occasionally hitting one or two men.

Yan Luo took cover behind a barricade, his face resolute, his brows deeply furrowed; he eventually looked towards Ma Chao and asked, "Do you have a spare gun?"

Ma Chao looked at Yan Luo and remembered that Yan Luo had a military background, so he obviously knew how to shoot. Without hesitation, he pulled out another handgun from his pocket and said, "It's fully loaded, but I don't have any spare bullets."

Yan Luo took the handgun, habitually checking the magazine before slamming it in and chambering a round.

'Bang!'

Without even looking, Yan Luo casually fired a shot, and instantly, a gunman outside the food stall fell to the ground.

Ma Chao was right beside Yan Luo. Although he had handed the gun to Yan Luo, Ma Chao still didn't fully trust him. However, when Yan Luo took down an enemy with a single shot without looking, relying solely on instinct, Ma Chao, having never received professional firearms training but still familiar with guns from his time on the streets, realized that Yan Luo's shot was no fluke.

"The enemy doesn't have many shooters, only seven or eight, but there are at least twenty men with knives," Yan Luo said with a slight frown after killing an enemy.

Ma Chao nodded and replied, "Those shooters are pretty good. They must have been trained by a big company."

Bang!

Just then, another Hong Company member fell down, struck by the enemy's accurate gunfire.

It was well known that Wu Shengchang's bodyguards were all exceptionally skilled, and not just anyone would be accompanied by them.

However, at this point, the enemy's assault was so fierce that in the blink of an eye, more than half had fallen. Now, only six were left alive: Ye Xiao, Wu Shengchang, Yan Luo, Ma Chao, Niu Chuang, and another bodyguard. Of these, only Ma Chao, Yan Luo, and the bodyguard were armed. Their three guns were no match for the enemy's seven or eight, and there were about twenty men with knives.

Wu Shengchang immediately pulled out his phone to call his underlings, but the enemy was advancing too quickly. In just two minutes, they had closed in on the food stall, scaring off all the regular customers, while the gunmen didn't pursue ordinary people.

Bullets streamed out incessantly like water from a river without a source.

Though Yan Luo's shooting was accurate, it was impossible for him to hit with every shot. Additionally, the enemies' gunfire was relentless, and Yan Luo was reduced to blind firing. Soon, he was left with only two rounds. Yan Luo knew that bullets were their lifeline; without them, they might all be buried there. Ma Chao's gun wasn't faring much better, with only two or three bullets remaining.

It seemed the enemy was aware of their situation, as the men with machetes charged into the stall, gleaming blades in hand. Someone shouted, "Kill Wu Shengchang for a 500,000 yuan reward."

With that call, the already frenzied men with knives became even more bloodthirsty.

The attackers had anticipated their move; with the knife-wielders charging in, Yan Luo and the others dared not fire their guns, as the enemy gunmen were waiting behind them.

Ma Chao and Yan Luo, crouching low, suddenly rushed into the crowd of knife-wielders. With each bang of their guns, a knife-wielder was shot in the forehead and killed. Taking advantage of the situation, the pair snatched up the machetes from their enemies' hands and engaged in close combat.

Since they were tangled up with the knife fighters, the enemy gunmen outside hesitated to fire, knowing they risked hitting their own men.

Previously unarmed and afraid of the gun battle, Niu Chuang saw an enemy fall, dropping a machete right before him. Without a second thought, he grabbed the weapon and followed Ma Chao and Yan Luo into the fray against the assailants.

Niu Chuang's only advantage was his brute strength. Sometimes, this brute strength was indeed useful. His strong arms wielded a chopping knife with cold gleaming light. With one swing of his knife, he could inflict serious injuries on an enemy.

"Fuck it, I'm going to fight them," Wu Shengchang said with a face so angry it was turning purple, clenching his fist, ready to stand up.

But he was pressed back down by Ye Xiao, with a hand on Wu Shengchang's shoulder and a smile, "Brother Six, your injury just healed. You shouldn't engage in intense activities. I'll go take care of those gunmen. Wait for me to come back and continue drinking."

"Ah?" Wu Shengchang was immediately surprised when he heard Ye Xiao's words and looked at him, "Ye Xiao, how can this be right? We just need to wait for three to five minutes, and our reinforcements will surely arrive. At that time, these people will be sitting ducks."

Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "There are at least five gunmen left now. What do you think five gunmen mean? Do you want them to get away and kill more than a dozen of your brothers? I should go."

"But, as you said, there are five gunmen," Wu Shengchang couldn't hide his concern, not wishing for Ye Xiao to take such a risk.

"Ha ha!" Ye Xiao laughed loudly, his body swayed, and he immediately darted beside a knife-wielder who was exchanging blows with Ma Chao. His hand grabbed the man's neck as swiftly as lightning and slammed him to the ground, causing Ma Chao's next strike to miss its target.

As the knife-wielder was pinned down by Ye Xiao, his neck had already been snapped. Ye Xiao grabbed the knife from the man's hand and plunged into the midst of the knife-wielders. He moved among them not to kill, but to inflict a cut on each person, not taking their lives but still leaving them with the potential to fight.

When Ye Xiao emerged from the crowd of knife-wielders like a dark shadow, the gunmen finally reacted and immediately raised their guns at Ye Xiao.

Bang bang bang!

Gunshots rang out, followed by the 'clang clang clang' sound of metal striking metal. Ye Xiao emerged unscathed, though the chopping knife in his hand had several notches in it.

After a series of gunshots, Ye Xiao remained unhurt, not even a bullet fragment touched him, much to the gunmen's surprise. Clearly, Ye Xiao's skills exceeded their expectations.

However, in the brief 0.5 seconds of their astonishment, Ye Xiao struck. His chopping knife whipped through the air and plunged into the heart of a gunman. With a plop, blood spurted out.

"One!" Ye Xiao whispered with a smile, handling these men with no pressure at all.

Ye Xiao's movements were like a ghostly bolt of lightning, rapidly passing by each gunman and mercilessly seizing the most precious thing they had—their lives!

The five gunmen were almost instantly wiped out, while Ye Xiao stood in the wind, holding the dripping knife.

Ye Xiao's intervention instantly changed the situation on the scene. Originally, Ma Chao, Yan Luo, and Niu Chuang had to be careful to avoid bullets, but now the shooters were all killed, they could freely engage in slaughter.

Indeed, a slaughter!

Though there were nearly twenty enemies left, when Ye Xiao had rushed out earlier, he had injured seven or eight people. Also, Yan Luo, Ma Chao, and Niu Chuang were very skilled in close combat, so when they fought, they were like tigers coming down the mountain. No one dared to confront them head-on.

However, it's difficult for one to fend off attacks from all sides, and even a strong tiger can be overwhelmed by a pack of wolves. Though these three tigers looked invincible, the enemy wasn't foolish and began to change their strategy, especially now with Ma Chao surrounded on all sides. He was able to handle either the front or the sides at a time, making the battle quite difficult for him.

Just then, Ma Chao fiercely chopped down on an enemy, who clung stubbornly to Ma Chao's knife. Ma Chao instantly tried to pull the knife back, but at that moment, an enemy from the side swung their knife fiercely towards Ma Chao. The attack's speed and strength were well-coordinated, genuinely startling Ma Chao.

There was no chance to dodge or to counter, and the enemy was too fast to allow Ma Chao any time to think.

Even Ma Chao, who had been through many tough times on the streets, was taken aback. But in that instant, he suddenly saw something bloody burst forth from the enemy's chest. Upon closer inspection, it was the tip of a chopping knife. A knife had pierced through the enemy's chest.

The enemy's raised chop also fell powerlessly, devoid of any lethality.

At that moment, Ma Chao noticed a man standing behind the enemy, with a stern and resolute face. Who else could it be but Yan Luo, drenched in blood, unclear whether it was his or that of the enemy. At first glance, he really seemed like King Yanluo risen from the depths of hell.
