Chapter 607: Chapter 607: It Turns Out to be Like This

Luo Ziling’s reaction was still remarkably swift. As he twisted his body in mid-air, pulling off an exceedingly difficult maneuver, he dodged the fierce kick aimed at him and swiftly took cover behind a large tree. However, to his shock, another attacker in black who had been at least ten meters away had already charged to his back and delivered a ferocious kick straight at his head.

Luo Ziling managed to awkwardly use the tree as a shield, avoiding the heavy kick from the opponent.

The attacker’s foot struck the tree where Luo Ziling had just been hiding. The thick tree, at least as wide as a bowl, shook violently and made a slight cracking sound, indicating that its trunk had been split by the kick.

In this initial clashing, Luo Ziling was put on the defensive, realizing that these two individuals intent on harming him possessed extraordinary skill, stronger than any other opponent he had encountered before.

Therefore, Luo Ziling harbored no illusions of luck and immediately fought back with all his might.

As he dodged the previous strike, he used the elasticity of the tree trunk to propel himself into the air and kick at the other black-clothed person who was preparing to charge at him.

With his body leaping up, the kick he delivered was immensely powerful, prompting the attacker who was ready to engage to swiftly sidestep and retreat.

Luo Ziling wanted just that effect, gracefully altering his move in mid-air. After two consecutive spins, he delivered a side kick toward his opponent’s body.

The man in black hadn’t expected Luo Ziling’s attack to be so rapid. After stepping back twice, he found his retreat blocked by a tree, leaving him no option but to extend his arms in a guard.

With a dull ‘thud’ of bodies colliding, the black-clothed man leaned forward and used his arms to blunt the force of Luo Ziling’s vicious kick. The impact against the tree behind sent him rebounding forward.

And by that time, Luo Ziling’s next kick was already on its way.

Utilizing the force from rebounding off the tree, the man lunged forward, attempting to grab Luo Ziling’s legs.

Naturally, Luo Ziling would not let him succeed. His kick came even faster and struck the opponent again.

To prevent his legs from being grabbed, and sensing imminent danger from behind, Luo Ziling quickly embraced the tree and, using it as cover, dodged to another direction.

The man behind’s kick came within a mere dozen centimeters of him, barely missed by his evasion.

After a brief exchange, the two men in black realized that they might not be able to overcome Luo Ziling on their own, so they quickly joined forces for a coordinated attack.

They worked together seamlessly, with extremely rapid movements.

Suddenly overwhelmed, Luo Ziling quickly found himself in a tight spot. He had hardly any chance to strike as the foes’ attack speed was so rapid, forcing him desperately to dodge and deflect.

The abundance of trees in the area constrained the expression of his physical agility.

His advantage lay in his quick movements, but the trees restricted the use of his speed, causing him to quickly fall into disadvantage.

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation since arriving in Yanjing, filling Luo Ziling with a sense of desolation.

“Today’s going to be tragic,” he regretted not bringing his gun out today, as it could have been useful.

No matter what their identities, they threatened his life, and he realized that mere unarmed combat was inadequate to bring them down, necessitating the use of weapons.

But to his surprise, just when he was gradually losing ground, the two men in black suddenly stopped.

“Haha, not bad, quite impressive,” one of the men in black suddenly spoke out, “Do you want to continue fighting?”

“What?!” Luo Ziling, panting heavily, didn’t respond immediately.

“Your skills are much better than we anticipated, really impressive, worthy of being the Boss’s son.”

“Who are you?” Luo Ziling still on high alert, asked impatiently, “Who sent you?”

“We are here on the Boss’s order to protect you,” the man in black chuckled, “We were just playing with you a moment ago.”

Another man in black also spoke up, “We were instructed to protect you.”

Hearing this, Luo Ziling’s tense nerves finally relaxed, but he was still full of questions, “What exactly is going on?”

“We heard you’ve been attacked frequently, so our leader ordered us to protect you,” the first man in black spoke again and began to laugh, “Who would have thought that the person we are supposed to protect is so skilled.”

“Who told you to protect me?” Luo Ziling, still dizzy from the fight, asked subconsciously.

“Your dad, who is also our Boss,” the second man in black grinned, “We used to be under him, and we are still his brothers.”

“My father?” Luo Ziling’s heart skipped a beat, “Where is he now?”

“Your father didn’t come; after learning about the several assassination attempts on you, he asked us to protect you,” the man who started talking stepped forward and extended his hand to Luo Ziling, “My name is Yang Xiaodong, also known as Snow Sculpture, and his name is Wang Zhenjun, you can call him Dull Bird.”

After shaking hands with the two men in black, Luo Ziling was still full of doubts, “Are you special forces?”

“We were, but retired six months ago,” answered Yang Xiaodong cheerfully, “We and your dad are brothers in life and death, brothers for a lifetime.”

Luo Ziling suddenly didn’t know what to say, but still didn’t fully trust these two were there to protect him.

He felt they didn’t seem like special forces, or rather, retired special forces, because in his opinion, highly skilled people usually like to act cool and don’t talk much.

Just like Lin Lan and her comrades, Wuyue, and those bodyguards under Wuyue, they rarely speak, which is a trait of a true expert.

These two, they talked too much, so he had his suspicions.

Seeing Luo Ziling’s doubts, Yang Xiaodong didn’t say anything more but took out his phone and dialed a number.

The call was connected quickly, and a gentle female voice was heard.

Upon hearing the woman’s voice, Yang Xiaodong immediately became respectful, “Sister-in-law, we are ordered by the Boss to protect the young master. We have just met him, and even had a fight.”

“What?” The woman was instantly surprised.

“Boss Luo Xusheng sent the two of us to ensure the young master’s safety. We’ve arrived in Yanjing; if there are any instructions, please tell us, Sister-in-law,” Yang Xiaodong continued respectfully, “He has given us a token to hand over to you.”

There was silence on the other end of the line for a while, at least half a minute later, the woman spoke again, “Then come over together now, to my place, the young master will lead you here.”
