After being full of food and drink, Qin Tian and the others left the tavern.

The night in Spring Glory City was very cold, with temperatures below minus ten degrees, but for a Spiritualist, such chill was nothing.

"Boss, I've heard the hot spring here is quite nice. Shall we experience it?"

The Poisonous Widow's eyes sparkled, her cheeks tinged with a slightly intoxicating blush.

Heh, this woman still has some naughty ideas.

Qin Tian suddenly stopped, looking at the dark alley in front, he said with a mild smile:

"Deal with these flies around us, perhaps I can give it a thought."

Upon hearing this, both the Poisonous Widow and Xiong instantly became alert, scanning their surroundings warily.

Swish swish swish—

Seven shadowy figures flashed by like phantoms, instantly blocking all exits of the alley. They were entirely covered in pitch-black specially designed combat suits, metallic masks with no expression hid their faces, revealing only their cold eyes.

The air suddenly froze.

The leading man held a chain entwined with dark red patterns, each link engraved with ancient binding runes, producing a faint hum with his movement.

The other six took advantageous positions, two wielded high-frequency blades, three held Spiritual Energy pulse guns, and one wore specially made metal gloves with scarlet Energy Crystal Stone embedded at the knuckles.

"Just arrived on the first day and someone's targeting me. Whose people are they?"

Qin Tian's eyes were deep; there were not many individuals or forces that held grudges against him, the Blood Demon Cult and those Evil God Followers were the deepest involved.

"Leave two alive." Qin Tian issued a command via soul transmission to Xiong and Poisonous Widow.

Almost at the same moment, the seven assassins struck suddenly!

The chain-man flicked his wrist, the dark red chain shot out like a living creature, splitting into dozens of blood-red streaks in the air, instantly entangled Xiong's limbs. The binding runes lit up with scarlet light, truly suppressing Xiong's terrifying power temporarily!

"Roar—!" Xiong roared in fury, his muscles bulging, the chain creaked under tension, but he couldn't break free for a moment.

The other six took the opportunity to launch their attack.

Two assassins wielding high-frequency blades moved straight for the Poisonous Widow, their blades slicing the air, leaving fine cracks; the other three raised their Spiritual Energy pulse guns, aiming the ghostly blue Energy Bullets at Qin Tian; the last glove-wearing assassin launched a side attack, the scarlet Crystal Stone exploded in dazzling light, his fist aimed at Qin Tian's back!

The Poisonous Widow snorted coldly, raising her delicate hand: "Poison Mist·Thousand Threads!"

Instantly, countless purple threads burst from her fingertips, weaving into a massive poisonous net in the air.

The two knife-wielding assassins entered the poison mist's range, their movements abruptly slowed, strange purple spots surfaced rapidly on their skin; the Energy Bullets fired by the three gunmen traveled through the poison mist, corroding smaller and smaller, ultimately dissipating before Qin Tian; the glove assassin retreated, screaming, his metal gloves began to melt, the liquid metal dripping onto the ground, leaving charred pits!

Just as the battle was about to reach a fever pitch—

"Bang!"

A figure rushed in from the alley entrance like a cannonball, punching two gun-wielding assassins, causing them to vomit blood and fly backward!

He landed steadily, chestnut hair blowing in the night wind, it was the young man from the daytime holographic projection—Allen.

Though his cowboy hat was missing now, his amber-colored eyes were still exceptionally bright even in the dark.

"Hurry up!" Allen shouted to Qin Tian and the others, "They're from Black Cloud Commerce Association."

The chain-man observed the situation, speaking coldly: "Allen, as expected, you've still appeared."

Before he could finish, Xiong finally broke the chain, his massive fist roaring in the wind, smashing towards the chain-man.

The chain-man's expression changed slightly, hurriedly crossing his arms to block, activating the runes on the chain, attempting to bind Xiong's actions again.

However, Xiong's immense strength far exceeded his expectations—

"Boom!"

The punch shattered his defenses, the chain breaking inch by inch, the runes extinguishing one after another. The terrifying impact directly blasted him away like a ragdoll, crashing through the brick wall behind.

Bricks crumbled, dust scattered, the chain-man's body embedded deeply into the wall, buried completely by collapsed debris,

Allen seized the chance to rush to Qin Tian's side, speaking rapidly: "Black Cloud Commerce Association is capturing people everywhere for the mines, searching for underground Spiritual Springs, you three have been targeted, follow me quickly, their troops are coming soon."

At this moment, Xiong and the Poisonous Widow turned to Qin Tian.

Actually, given their strength, dealing with these people in front of them is just a few moves, as for this suddenly appearing young man's intentions, it's still unclear whether they're good or bad, so they're waiting for Qin Tian to make a decision.

Qin Tian glanced at Allen, nodded:

"Alright, lead the way!"

"Follow me."

Allen vaulted the wall and sprinted into the distance, Qin Tian and the others closely following him, the six black clothed Men on site could only watch as they disappeared into the darkness, not daring to give chase.

Clatter clatter

The chain-man crawled out from the rubble, his clothes torn, his mask shattered, revealing a sinister face.

"Spit."

The chain-man spat out a mouthful of blood, then quickly opened his communicator, saying swiftly:

"I failed here, but I've found Allen."

...

Arriving at an unoccupied area in the southeastern corner of the city

Allen stopped, looking at Qin Tian, he said:

"It's safe here, hide for a while, find a way to leave Spring Glory City early tomorrow morning, I have things to do, won't accompany you."
