195: Lu Chen was injured?

Lu Chen stood tall and straight, exuding a powerful Aura.

He stared at the steel mesh outside the window, which was obstructing the rescue, and a resolute glint flashed in his eyes.

Slowly, he drew his sword; its blade shimmered with cold light, as if it had condensed a thousand years of chill.

He slightly raised his arm, and the blade cut a sharp arc in the dim light.

Immediately after, he swung his sword fiercely, and a fierce Sword Qi shot out like lightning.

The Sword Qi, with an unstoppable momentum, instantly struck the steel mesh.

With a 'snap,' the steel mesh broke, and shattered wires flew everywhere.

Yan Shuanger trembled all over, startled by the sudden loud noise and immense power.

She instinctively closed her eyes and crouched slightly, as if to dodge danger.

However, the anticipated harm did not come.

She cautiously opened one eye and was surprised to find that the Sword Qi had not harmed her in the slightest.

Her eyes were full of astonishment, her small mouth slightly agape, and her face was filled with disbelief.

Lu Chen sheathed his sword and walked into the room side-by-side with Yu Miaoyin.

As soon as Yu Miaoyin saw Yan Shuanger, her eyes flickered with surprise and worry.

She quickened her pace, almost jogging, to Yan Shuanger's side.

She stretched out her arms and tightly embraced Yan Shuanger, her actions full of concern and heartache.

"Shuanger, are you alright?" Yu Miaoyin's voice trembled slightly, filled with anxiety and lingering fear.

She gently stroked Yan Shuanger's hair, as if to confirm her safety.

Yan Shuanger hugged Yu Miaoyin back tightly, tears streaming down her face, crying uncontrollably.

"Senior Sister, you really came to save me..." Her shoulders trembled slightly, and her voice was broken by sobs.

Yu Miaoyin gently patted Yan Shuanger's back, comforting her, "It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright."

She slightly released Yan Shuanger, held her shoulders with both hands, and looked earnestly into her eyes.

"Let's see if you'll Cultivate seriously from now on. Now you know the danger of not being strong enough, don't you?"

Her eyes held both a hint of reproach and a touch of relief.

Yan Shuanger lowered her head, unconsciously tugging at the corner of her clothes, and whispered.

"Senior Sister, you know I don't like to Cultivate; I only like to tinker with medicinal herbs..."

Her voice was soft, carrying a hint of grievance and stubbornness.

Yu Miaoyin sighed softly and said earnestly.

"Shuanger, Cultivate is not only for protecting yourself but also for protecting those you care about.

Today, you encountered such danger; if Senior Sister hadn't arrived in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Although medicinal herbs are good, in the face of danger, powerful strength is the most reliable guarantee."

Her eyes were gentle yet firm, and she gently placed her hand on Yan Shuanger's shoulder, applying a slight pressure.

Yan Shuanger bit her lower lip and nodded slightly, but did not speak.

Her eyes remained fixed on the ground, as if she was pondering Yu Miaoyin's words.

The other women in the room watched this scene quietly.

Their gaze was first drawn to Lu Chen; he stood tall and straight, like a towering pine tree.

He wore a black outfit, outlining his slender yet robust figure.

His face had distinct features, with sharp brows and bright eyes, and his deep gaze exuded an innate composure and confidence.

Standing there, his whole body seemed to emanate an invisible Aura, making people unable to help but glance at him.

The girls' eyes sparkled with admiration; some showed adoration, their cheeks slightly flushed.

Others were full of surprise and curiosity, sizing Lu Chen up and down.

Still others had eyes full of gratitude and hope, as if they had seen a savior.

Their gaze lingered on Lu Chen for a long time, and they began to whisper, their voices particularly clear in the quiet room.

After chatting for a few moments, Yan Shuanger and Yu Miaoyin turned their attention to Lu Chen, their eyes full of doubt and curiosity.

"Senior Sister, he is..."

Yu Miaoyin was about to introduce him when, suddenly, a flurry of footsteps and curses came from outside the door.

"Damn it, what's going on! Why is there movement inside!" A rough voice sounded, accompanied by urgent footsteps.

"You all better be careful; maybe those women are up to something!" Another voice said menacingly.

Immediately after, with a loud 'bang,' the door was forcefully kicked open.

Several fierce-looking thugs burst in, burly and with menacing faces.

Their facial scars looked particularly gruesome in the dim light.

The leading thug held a pistol, its barrel glinting with a cold light.

His face was angry, his eyes wide, and he cursed viciously.

"You little brats, you don't want to live, do you! Daring to cause trouble on my territory!"

As he cursed, he waved his pistol, his arrogant demeanor sending chills down one's spine.

The other thugs also held their weapons, their faces all bearing fierce expressions, like a pack of wolves.

Their gaze swept across the room. When they saw Yu Miaoyin and Lu Chen, as well as the large hole in the window cut by the Sword Qi...

They were momentarily stunned, their faces showing confusion.

Their footsteps involuntarily stopped, and a hint of panic flashed in their eyes.

Yan Shuanger saw the thugs, and a look of terror appeared on her face; she quickly hid behind Yu Miaoyin.

Pointing at the thugs, she said with a trembling voice, "Senior Sister, it's them! They tricked me into their black car, be careful, they all have guns!"

A cold glint flashed in Yu Miaoyin's eyes, and she was about to act, but saw Lu Chen move first.

Lu Chen's eyes instantly became as sharp as an eagle's; he leaned slightly forward, and his right hand slowly rose.

With a wave of his palm, an invisible Sword Qi, like a sharp blade, instantly cut through the air.

Wherever the Sword Qi passed, the air seemed to be torn, making a "hissing" sound.

Before the thugs even had time to react, six or seven of them were instantly hit by the Sword Qi.

Their bodies were sent flying as if struck by an immense force, crashing heavily to the ground.

Their faces still held expressions of terror and disbelief, and the light in their eyes instantly extinguished.

The remaining thugs' eyes widened in horror, their faces filled with fear.

Their bodies began to tremble slightly, and their weapons involuntarily dropped.

The leading thug's face turned even paler with fright, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

His lips trembled slightly; he wanted to say something but found his throat seemed to be blocked, unable to utter a sound.

His legs went soft, and he could barely stand steady.

The girls in the room were also stunned by this scene; their eyes were wide, and their faces were filled with shock.

Just as everyone thought the thugs would surrender, the thug leader suddenly shouted hysterically.

"Fight them!" His voice was filled with despair and madness.

In an instant, the remaining thugs seemed to be injected with a powerful stimulant.

They frantically raised their submachine guns and pistols, their fingers furiously pulling the triggers.

Suddenly, the deafening ' 噠噠噠' of gunshots filled the air, and bullets rained down on Lu Chen, Yu Miaoyin, and the others.

Gun muzzles continuously spewed fire, and the pungent smell of gunpowder rapidly filled the room.

However, a strange thing happened.

The whistling bullets, at about half a meter from Lu Chen, seemed to hit an invisible wall.

They all stopped in the Void Realm, hovering there, gleaming with a cold metallic sheen in the dim light, as if time itself had been frozen.

This scene stunned everyone; the room instantly fell silent, with only wisps of smoke still rising from the gun muzzles.

Yan Shuanger's already terrified eyes widened even further, her mouth agape, her face filled with disbelief.

She tightly clutched Yu Miaoyin's clothes, her body trembling slightly, unable to believe what was happening before her eyes.

The other women were also completely awestruck by this unimaginable sight.

Some girls, who had already collapsed in fright, now propped themselves up, covering their mouths with their hands to prevent gasps of surprise.

Other girls' eyes were wide, filled with fear and confusion, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, as if they had seen some incredible monster.

Even Yu Miaoyin couldn't help but frown slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

She subconsciously shielded Yan Shuanger behind her, her gaze fixed on the bullets suspended in the air.

She secretly marveled at how unfathomably profound Lu Chen's strength truly was.

After a brief silence, a ripple of whispers broke out in the room.

"This... how is this possible?" "Is he a human or a god?"

The girls' voices were filled with shock and awe, their gazes now entirely focused on Lu Chen.

It was as if they were looking at a being from another world.

As for the thugs, the terror on their faces reached its peak.

Their hands fell limply, and their guns slipped from their grasp, falling to the ground with dull thuds.

Their eyes were filled with despair and fear, their bodies trembling incessantly, as if all their strength had been drained.

Lu Chen's gaze was icy as he swept over the thugs before him, his thin lips parting to utter a few words.

"A bunch of trash." His voice was low but filled with disdain and contempt.

With that, he flicked his wrist, and the sword in his hand rose again.

The blade shimmered with cold light, like a silver lightning bolt.

As he fiercely swung his arm, a sharp Sword Qi whistled out, instantly tearing through the air, emitting a piercing "hissing" sound.

Wherever the Sword Qi passed, several more thugs had no time to dodge; their bodies were struck as if by an invisible giant force.

They flew straight backward, their faces still bearing expressions of terror and despair.

After arcing through the air, they crashed heavily to the ground, no longer moving.

The thug leader watched this scene, his face alternating between white and red.

His breathing was rapid and heavy, his chest heaving violently.

His eyes were filled with unwillingness and anger, but more than that, a deep fear.

Looking at Lu Chen, his voice trembled as he shouted with a hint of despair.

"No matter if you're human or ghost, you can't move anymore, or I'll press the bomb!"

As he spoke, he raised the remote control in his hand again, his finger tightly pressed on the button.

Yu Miaoyin's expression immediately became solemn as she watched this scene.

Her brows were tightly furrowed, and her eyes revealed worry.

She knew that if this bomb really exploded, she, her Junior Sister, and Lu Chen might be able to protect themselves.

But the other unsuspecting girls might not be able to escape unscathed.

Who knew, Lu Chen merely smiled faintly, that smile carrying a hint of mockery.

His eyes were as calm as water as he looked at the thug leader and said in a relaxed tone.

"Go ahead and press it. I'd like to see the power of your bomb."

His voice was not loud, but it was filled with confidence and composure, as if he didn't care about the bomb at all.

The thug leader's eyes widened, his face showing disbelief; his hand trembled slightly as he shouted.

"Don't force me!" His eyes held both a threat and a hint of hesitation.

Lu Chen looked at him disdainfully, raising his chin slightly, his gaze as if to say, "You're just bluffing."

He took a step forward, his Aura pressing.

Seeing this, the thug leader instinctively took a step back, his face filled with terror.

He clutched the remote control tightly, his knuckles white, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

His eyes were wide, staring fixedly at Lu Chen, seemingly engaged in an intense internal struggle.

The thug leader's breathing became ragged, his chest heaving violently.

His eyes filled with despair and madness; suddenly, he gritted his teeth, a resolute expression on his face, and fiercely pressed the button.

In an instant, a deafening 'rumble' came from outside the door, as if an angry giant beast was roaring.

A powerful blast of air impacted the room, shattering the window glass, sending shards flying everywhere.

Everyone in the room was startled by the sudden explosion.

Yan Shuanger fearfully hid behind Yu Miaoyin, tightly covering her ears with her hands.

The other girls also screamed in fright, huddling together.

The thug leader thought he was doomed; he closed his eyes, his body trembling, awaiting death.

However, he was surprised to find that the room was eerily quiet, as if an invisible barrier had completely blocked out the sound of the explosion outside.

Lu Chen's lips curved slightly upward, revealing a mocking smile, and he said.

"The power of your bomb doesn't seem to be much, after all." His voice echoed in the room, carrying a hint of teasing.

The thug leader slowly opened his eyes, which were filled with shock and confusion.

Looking at Lu Chen, he asked with a trembling voice, "You... who exactly are you?"

Lu Chen looked at the hysterical thug leader, who was attempting to threaten everyone with a bomb, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

That smile seemed to convey extreme disdain for the person before him.

He did not speak, but merely slowly raised his hand and flicked it gently.

A nearly imperceptible surge of Qi, like a bolt of lightning, instantly struck the thug leader.

The thug leader's body stiffened abruptly, his eyes wide, his face still bearing expressions of madness and unwillingness.

But he could no longer utter a sound. The next second, he fell straight backward, crashing heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust, and his breath ceased.

After dealing with the thug leader, Lu Chen turned, his gaze sweeping over everyone in the room.

His eyes softened considerably, carrying a hint of reassurance.

Then, he began to systematically rescue the trapped girls.

His movements were skilled and swift, every action revealing powerful confidence and reassuring strength.

The girls watched Lu Chen's every move, their eyes filled with admiration.

The fear on their faces was gone, replaced by deep reverence for Lu Chen.

In their eyes, Lu Chen was like a hero descended from heaven, saving them from dire straits.

Yu Miaoyin, seeing Lu Chen successfully rescue everyone, also relaxed.

She walked to Yan Shuanger's side, a shy blush rising on her face, and whispered.

"Shuanger, let me introduce you, he is my boyfriend, Lu Chen." Her voice was gentle, with a hint of sweetness.

Upon hearing this, Yan Shuanger's eyes instantly widened, her face filled with shock.

Her mouth hung open, and she was speechless for a long time. After a while, she stammered.

"Senior Sister, you... you already have a boyfriend?"

Her eyes were full of surprise and curiosity, constantly sizing up Lu Chen and Yu Miaoyin.

The other girls, upon hearing Yu Miaoyin's words, all showed disappointed expressions.

Their initial admiration and fantasies about Lu Chen instantly shattered.

Even in Yan Shuanger's eyes, a complex, inexplicable look flashed.

That look contained both a blessing for her Senior Sister finding happiness and an unidentifiable emotion.

Lu Chen looked at everyone's reactions, smiled slightly, and said.

"I've already called for the nearest rescue; they'll be here very soon."

His voice was steady and strong, making everyone feel incredibly relieved.

No sooner had he spoken than the sounds of ambulances and police cars came from outside the door.

The sounds grew from distant to near, becoming clearer and clearer.

Upon hearing the sounds, the girls all showed expressions of relief, their eyes sparkling with hope.

Yu Miaoyin, with a smile, was about to thank Lu Chen when she suddenly noticed Lu Chen's face was extremely pale.

Her expression instantly froze, and an ominous premonition surged in her heart.

Then, she saw Lu Chen's body begin to sway, and then he fell backward.

Yu Miaoyin's face instantly changed dramatically, her eyes filled with fear and worry.

She unhesitatingly reached out and steadily supported Lu Chen.

Her hand trembled slightly, and her voice also carried a tremor: "Lu Chen, what's wrong with you?"
