After about twenty seconds, the thugs in the alley lay writhing in pain on the ground. Some who had ingested a large amount of Corpse Oil Solution were burned by the Separation Fire, causing blood to flow from their seven orifices as they fainted. The others, although not unconscious, had temporarily lost their fighting ability and collapsed weakly to the ground.
As soon as my Daoist Magic was exhausted, a mouthful of fresh blood spewed from my lips. Although I had reached Master Rank, casting such a large-scale Fire Separation Technique could only sustain my magical energy for about two minutes.
The talisman in mid-air slipped from my control, transforming into specks of white light that dissipated into the air. With the disappearance of the talisman, the Fire Rain that had been falling also ceased, and the Separation Fire on the thugs began to extinguish.
If this situation continued, those thugs who had not fainted would only need to rest for about twenty minutes to regain their strength.
I looked at the thugs on the ground, a cold killing intent flashing in my eyes. I picked up the Sabre from the ground and waved my hand at Hou Libang and the others, saying, "Hou Libang, you all go back to the hotel to bandage your wounds and contact the military. Leave these thugs to me!"
With that, I walked toward the thugs with my Sabre. There's a saying: take advantage of someone's misfortune. I certainly wouldn't actually kill these thugs; I just planned to inflict some serious injuries on them so they wouldn't have time to pursue us.
Just as I was about to make my move, Hou Libang came over and grabbed my arm, his expression serious as he said, "Jiang Ling, don't do anything reckless. Come back to the hotel with us; I'll handle things here."
I frowned slightly and looked coldly into Hou Libang's eyes, saying, "Hou Libang, this is not the time for mercy. If we don’t incapacitate these people now, none of us will escape later. If you can't bear to watch, you should go back to the hotel."
Hou Libang still didn’t let go of my hand. He looked into my eyes with determination and said firmly, "Jiang Ling, trust me. I have a way to resolve this. Although I can be unreliable at times, I would never joke with the lives of my comrades."
Looking into Hou Libang's eyes, I could clearly sense his resolve; he wasn’t joking. Unsure of what his solution was, I thought for a moment but ultimately chose to trust his judgment.
"Brothers, let's hurry back," I said as I sheathed my Sabre and lifted one of the new students off the ground before turning quickly toward the hotel.
Inside the hotel, there were first aid kits left by the military that could temporarily treat Hou Libang and the others' wounds. As long as we contacted military support, it wouldn’t be long before someone came to take these new students to a military hospital.
After returning to the hotel, Hou Libang did not rush to tend to his wounds. Instead, he locked himself in his room, and I had no idea what he was up to.
I dropped off Hou Libang and the others at the hotel before heading to find the Logistics Communicator left by the military in the county town. To maintain secrecy, those communication soldiers did not stay at the hotel with us; they rented a secluded house not far from the hotel.
These soldiers ensured their absolute discretion by only coming out at night to buy daily necessities, and each would only be out for about ten minutes. As a result, even the members of the Horse Head Gang had not noticed their presence.
After spending over ten minutes, I finally located the communication soldiers and conveyed the message. They contacted their superior in the military, and the response was that a Combat Team would be dispatched from Baishan Village immediately, accompanied by military doctors. They estimated it would take half an hour to arrive.
Once I received the reply, I left the communication soldiers' residence without delay. I oriented myself and turned back toward the alley where we had fought earlier. A cold killing intent flashed in my eyes as I spoke darkly, "The military is taking too long. If Hou Libang can't handle those thugs, then it will have to be up to me."
About seven minutes later, I arrived at the entrance of the alley and found a large crowd of onlookers gathered outside. My expression changed, and confusion crept into my mind.
From my years of experience, these curious bystanders would only gather so boldly after ensuring their safety. When we were fighting those thugs earlier, not a single person dared to approach. The current situation could only mean one thing: something significant had changed inside the alley.
I pushed my way through the crowd with great effort and saw over thirty police officers in uniforms inside the alley. They were handcuffing the thugs on the ground and loading them into police cars parked by the roadside.
Originally, there had been two or three hundred thugs lying in that alley, but now only about fifty or sixty remained. I secretly speculated that these police officers must have been there for quite some time.
Watching as they escorted the last thug into a police car, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. I touched my ear and muttered to myself, "If these police were called in by Hou Libang, then his backing is quite formidable."
Shaking my head, I dismissed my curious thoughts and turned back toward the hotel. However, when I returned to the hotel, I found all the rooms empty—Hou Libang and his group were nowhere to be seen.
If it weren't for the bloodstained clothes lying on the floor of one room, I might have doubted whether I had come to the right place.
"Dingling~~ Dingling~~" At that moment, my phone in my pocket rang. I took it out and saw a message from an unfamiliar number. Frowning, I opened the message.
"Jiang Ling, this is Hou Libang. I couldn't find you earlier, so I didn't wait for you to return. I'm currently taking my comrades to the military hospital for treatment. I've already informed my family about what's happening here; they'll handle the subsequent troubles. Jiang Ling, you don't need to worry about those thugs coming to retaliate against you, nor do you need to rush to escape, haha.
Getting to know you this time makes my trip worthwhile, Hou Libang. Once I'm healed, I'll come looking for you again. I remember you still owe me a blessed artifact; heh, I won't forget that.
Jiang Ling, take care of yourself. We'll meet again next time!"
I looked at the message on my phone and finally understood what had happened, feeling relieved. I smiled and wanted to reply, but just then, my phone screen turned white and suddenly became scorching hot, with black smoke billowing out of it.
Frowning, I quickly tossed the phone aside and cursed, "Damn it, this crappy knockoff!"
I recommend my friend's work, "My Girlfriend is a Ghost Cultivator," it's even better than mine; everyone should check it out~~
