"Cute little lamb, don't bother struggling!"

On the truck, the thugs had twisted faces, raising their guns to fire at the sports car's tires.

As several bullet holes appeared, there was a hiss from the pitch-black tires deflating, the outline collapsing visibly, and the entire convertible skidded to the left as if sliding on an ice rink.

"Damn." Ling cursed. "I just changed those tires last month!"

She jerked the steering wheel, barely managing to straighten the car's direction as a barrage of bullets followed.

"Watch me turn this hunk of metal into scrap!"

The thug controlling the machine gun laughed maniacally, blood-colored paint flowing on his face, with bullets spewing from the scorching hot gun barrel every second.

A dense web of gunfire covered the entire sports car, and before long, its metal body was riddled with black bullet holes, just like a wounded beast; headlights went out, the bumper cracked, emitting wails of agony.

Inside the tunnel, flashes of firelight flickered continuously, while fierce winds swept over the streamlined car body!

Ling shouted, raising her right hand, and a gravity barrier appeared in front of the car, freezing countless bullets in mid-air at that moment.

The metal beast beneath roared frantically, transforming into a knight racing through the night, as gunfire resounded like thunder, and swirling gales provided their protection!

Xu Xiaoyou stood up, gathering flames in her hand, and at that moment, the hum of a motorcycle sounded from behind.

Turning her head, she saw two black-clad thugs on a modified motorcycle, chasing them like hawks, entering her field of vision; Mohawk-styled hair and bizarre paint streaked on their faces, neither wearing helmets, and Xu Xiaoyou saw the sheer madness on their faces.

These lunatics were already high, adrenaline spiking with greed for money.

"This amount of money is enough for me to live off for a lifetime, hahaha!"

A total of fifty thousand credit points, enough to drive these desperados into an insane revelry.

Buzz—

The motorcycle suddenly reared up, like a warhorse whinnying under reins, and the blazing flame just happened to sweep underneath, drowned by the sound of the wind.

"Careful!" Ling shouted.

She looked through the rearview mirror and saw the scene on their left rear, where the motorcyclist raised a gun towards them.

Xu Xiaoyou turned around, swiftly drawing a long knife from the tool card. The scene before her became clear as the noise faded away.

In the muzzle's firelight, the bullet's speed slowed, with its trajectory clearly visible.

The crisp sound of metal clashing repeatedly resounded in the air.

The thug was dumbfounded,

Watching in shock as the blonde girl on the car, like in an action movie, parried five of his shot bullets with her long knife, not even blinking.

"Are you a monster?"

His response was a blazing fireball.

His motorcycle blasted into the air, flipping over repeatedly on the ground, ultimately engulfed by explosive flames, disappearing at tunnel's end.

Xu Xiaoyou stood on the car, scanning around. All she saw were the fanatical, excited, twisted faces of the thugs, and she finally spared a glance at the girl in the driver's seat.

Ling appeared bloodless, struggling to keep her bloodshot eyes open, her lips turning purple.

Her raised hand trembled, shielding the car with the gravity barrier showing signs of waning; maintaining this ability for such a long time placed a considerable mental burden on her.

Without a doubt, once the barrier dissipated, their car would be shredded in the metallic storm in an instant.

"Don't look at me…" Ling bit her lip, nearly drawing blood, "I can hold for three more minutes, find a way to deal with these lunatics!"

"Where are you looking, my dear little beauty?"

A speeding motorcycle zoomed past, the thug grinning viciously, hooking the car door with a long hook, gripping the steel cable tightly, and standing up from the rearing motorcycle!

He planted one foot on the speeding motorcycle and the other on the sports car's door frame, performing an extravagant, extremely risky move. A slight mistake could send him crashing down with the motorcycle below.

A pitch-black muzzle was pointed their way.

"Don't move, little beauty, I promise I won't do anything to you. Just don't resist, all I want is the bounty!"

The thug licked his bloody lips, but before he could finish, his eyes widened in shock.

Xu Xiaoyou made an utterly reckless move, she gripped the muzzle of the handgun, pressing it against her own forehead.

"Shoot." She said.

"What are you doing?"

The thug tried to withdraw the gun, but the hand before him gripped the handgun's barrel like an iron vice, unyielding.

"Do you have the courage to shoot?"

Her hair and clothes danced wildly in the wind, and she resembled a bewitching elf.

This girl's reckless actions and aggressive aura frightened the thug momentarily, leaving him unsure what to do, swallowing his saliva.

In a moment like this, despite being excited by various illegal substances, his brain calmed down instead.

The investigator's request was to capture this girl alive, and they had to ensure she survived.

What he wanted was the bounty, if she really died, not only would he lose the bounty, but he would also have to face the investigator's wrath.

In the brief whirring of wind, Xu Xiaoyou laughed: "If you don't dare, why flaunt?"

She snatched the gun from the thug's hands, watching him tumble back, far behind.

"You really are insane." Ling managed a smile. "Aren't you afraid to die?"

"I'm very careful with my life."

Xu Xiaoyou said, ejecting the magazine from the handgun, quickly confirming there were four bullets left before pushing it back in and chambering a round.

"I usually wouldn't do this unless I was a hundred percent sure."

The sports car was like a bleeding lion, its paint scraped off, gas tank damaged, with translucent fuel leaking out, followed closely by a pack of wolves chasing this lion. Those thugs on motorcycles, smelling the scent of the lion's blood, were frenzied to the extreme, cheering loudly!

More thugs on motorcycles charged up, wielding various weapons, getting closer to the convertible racing beneath them.

Raising her gun, the wind blew as if from a vast plain, despite the madness of the lunatics, her heart remained calm and peaceful.

Shadows fell into her eyes, and she closed them, as if lying under a blue sky, stretched out on an expansive grassland, basking in golden warmth, while the crisp chirping of birds and the sound of dew softly echoed in her ears.

Only tranquility remained.

For some reason, Ling felt that the girl beside her had suddenly become distant, despite not moving at all.

"What are you daydreaming about!" Ling shouted.

"I've got you now!"

A thug threw a rope, aiming to ensnare Xu Xiaoyou's body.

Just before it could succeed, he saw a crack appear on the girl's cheek, flowing with blood-like tears.

The dark red eye opened, sinister aura spreading.

Underneath those desire-filled eyes, he felt completely exposed, his soul trembling.

"Spiritual Gaze."
