Chapter 55: The Great Escape (Part 6)

  The bullet shot out from upstairs and hit Liu Lichuan's eyebrow with precision.

  Blood splattered everywhere, and a blood hole appeared.

  "Ah!"

  A shrill cry suddenly rang out, and Liu Lichuan's body tilted to one side as she fell off the horse. At this moment, Liu Lichuan, who was lying on the ground, still had a thread of breath left, but the bullet that entered her brow took away all her vitality. In an instant, Liu Lichuan felt the sky and earth collapse, and before her eyes were already dark and dim, she soon lost her breath.

  Li Zhen confirmed that Liu Lichuan had been sniped, quickly put the sniper rifle into a black bag and carried it on his back, then opened the rear window of the room and prepared to leave from the rear window.

  This is Li Zhen's prepared retreat route.

  Li Zhen had already prepared the rope, one end of which was tied inside the room and the other end was placed outside the window, hanging down to the ground. Li Zhen grasped the rope with both hands, jumped out of the window, and quickly descended. When Li Zhen was descending, the guard leader who was protecting Liu Lichuan was very experienced.

  He decisively ordered the soldiers to protect Liu Lichuan's body and block the inn's main gate, then surprisingly led over a hundred soldiers to surround the inn from the rear.

  His name is Zhu Yuefeng, a member of the Shanghai Tiandihui.

  Zhu Yuefeng, around thirty years old, had been traveling the world for many years and was extremely cunning. He arrived at the inn with his soldiers just in time to see Li Zhen fall from the upper floor to the ground.

  Li Zhen raised an eyebrow, and was quite surprised in his heart.

  However, Li Zhen didn't stop at all and ran away immediately. But Li Zhen didn't run towards the direction of the mansion, instead he randomly chose a direction to shake off Zhu Yuefeng first before returning to the mansion.

  "The rebel who assassinated Generalissimo is right ahead, go after him."

  Zhu Yuefeng let out a loud roar and chased after him with large strides, his legs spread wide apart.

  The soldiers who were chasing them were also shouting loudly. Li Zhen was running in the front, Zhu Yuefeng was chasing behind, and the speed of the two was obviously faster than that of the chasing soldiers. In less than a minute, Li Zhen and Zhu Yuefeng had already shaken off the soldiers who were chasing behind. At this time, Zhu Yuefeng suddenly accelerated again, almost catching up with Li Zhen.

  Zhu Yuefeng ran while picking up a bamboo stick from the side of the road and threw it forward with all his might.

  "Whoosh!"

  The bamboo pole flew out and shot towards Li Zhen's back with a piercing whistling sound.

  Li Zhen turned his head and glanced back, finding the bamboo pole behind him calm and collected. He decisively shifted positions to avoid it. Li Zhen continued running forward but discovered a small path ahead on the road. Zhu Yuefeng was hot on his heels, and without hesitation, Li Zhen darted into the path. The path had several bamboo poles standing upright, and as Li Zhen ran, he knocked down the poles beside him to shake off Zhu Yuefeng's pursuit.

  "Bang!"

  Suddenly, Li Zhen was running when a bamboo pole fell to the ground in front of him. Li Zhen didn't expect a bamboo pole to fall down in front of him, and his foot came out too late to be withdrawn, tripping over the bamboo pole and falling to the ground.

  This pause caused Li Zhen's just-obtained advantage to disappear.

  Zhu Yuefeng rushed up with big strides and shouted: "You thief, with me Zhu Yuefeng here, you can't escape!"

  Zhu Yuefeng was furious, knowing that Liu Lichuan's death would lead to the split of the Xiaodao Society and the situation would get out of control. Zhu Yuefeng caught up with Li Zhen in three steps, seeing Li Zhen getting up from the ground and trying to escape again, his right hand flashed out like lightning, grabbing Li Zhen's clothes.

  "Whoosh!"

  His clothes were torn, but Li Zhen was still running forward.

  The distance between them was very close, and Zhu Yuefeng took another arrow step to catch up with Li Zhen.

  "Clang!"

  Zhu Yuefeng drew out the steel knife from his waist and swung it to chop.

  Li Zhen was unable to dodge, quickly taking down the sniper rifle from his back and using it as a weapon to block Zhu Yuefeng's slashing steel knife. The weapons collided, the gun stock was chopped, and the barrel would be affected immediately, which would also make the trajectory inaccurate. Li Zhen resisted while swiftly running forward. Seeing Zhu Yuefeng pursuing him relentlessly, Li Zhen thought of ways to kill Zhu Yuefeng in his heart.

  If Zhu Yuefeng is not killed, he will be tied up. Especially when the soldiers in the city are mobilized, it's easy to be surrounded. Once surrounded by a large number of soldiers, Li Zhen can't fly away.

  What's wrong?

  Li Zhen was running for his life while thinking of ways to deal with Zhu Yuefeng.

  As Li Zhen accelerated his speed, the two sides gradually pulled away from each other again.

  The road ahead was blocked, but there was a narrow alley to the right. Zhu Yuefeng was hot on his heels, and Li Zhen didn't have time to check out the situation, so he charged straight in. But as soon as he entered, Li Zhen was shocked.

  The alley is 1.2 meters wide and deep, narrow and secluded, and the innermost part is sealed off.

  Li Zhen didn't hesitate, his hands pushed against the wall on the left, his left and right feet kicked against the wall on the right, climbing up quickly like a gecko.

  In the blink of an eye, Li Zhen had already climbed to the top of the wall.

  "Ta! Ta!"

  Footsteps approached, Zhu Yuefeng chased after him and rushed into the alley. When Li Zhen entered the alley, he didn't go deep inside, but climbed up the wall at the entrance of the alley. Zhu Yuefeng, on the other hand, went deep into the alley. Zhu Yuefeng found that Li Zhen had disappeared and discovered that the alley was sealed off, his heart immediately felt very strange.

  Just as Zhu Yuefeng was puzzled in his heart, a voice came from behind him: "Zhu Yuefeng, I'm here."

  Zhu Yuefeng turned his head and saw Li Zhen standing at the entrance of the alley, holding a sniper rifle and pulling the trigger.

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  Three consecutive gunshots, three bullets fired from the gun.

  Before Zhu Yuefeng could dodge, the bullet had already entered his chest.

  Zhu Yuefeng endured the pain in his chest and took three more steps forward, but his body could no longer hold on, and he fell to the ground with a thud. Li Zhen felt relieved when he saw Zhu Yuefeng being killed. If Zhu Yuefeng had been a bit more cautious and stopped outside the alley to take a closer look, Li Zhen would have easily been exposed.

  Fortunately, Zhu Yuefeng rushed in directly, and Li Zhen was able to land quietly, then shot and killed Zhu Yuefeng. Li Zhen knew the situation was critical, immediately turned around, preparing to return to the mansion.

  "Gunshots came from ahead, quick, immediately surround and encircle this place."

  "Block the roads that can be passed through, and don't let the thieves escape."

  ……

  Just as Li Zhen was about to withdraw, the shouting voices came from outside the alley. Li Zhen walked out of the alley and found that all directions were blocked by soldiers.

  "It's all over, nothing can be done."

  Li Zhen's mood sank, knowing it would be difficult to return to the mansion now.

  At this time, Li Zhen looked around and finally found that there was no way to escape. The only way out was to climb over the blocked alleyway and hide. Li Zhen didn't hesitate, rushed into the alleyway, quickly climbed up, climbed to the top of the wall, turned over the wall blocking the alleyway, and entered a courtyard.

  The yard is very large, but it's very empty.

  Li Zhen thought of hiding in the mansion first, avoiding the storm, and then taking the opportunity to leave. Li Zhen carefully came to a room outside, wanting to enter the room, but found it locked. In this courtyard, there was only one room that was not locked, and candles were lit inside. Li Zhen stood quietly outside the room and listened for a while, finding no movement inside.

  Li Zhen's heart was filled with joy, and he gently pushed open the door, then closed it behind him, entering inside.

  As soon as he entered the house, Li Zhen was stunned.

  The room was empty, with no bed, no screen, and not even a table. The large room had only one huge wooden bucket, which was emitting steam, clearly used for bathing. Li Zhen saw the situation and knew it was impossible to hide, so he immediately prepared to leave.
