However, after the guards fired their guns, they discovered that the bullets came to a halt right in front of Lin Beichen!
This scene left them utterly terrified, their fear reaching its peak.
They realized they were confronting an invincible enemy!
At that moment, the entire dungeon was filled with an atmosphere of fear and chaos.
Monroe and his men were completely intimidated by the power Lin Beichen had displayed.
They began to doubt if everything they believed in truly existed, as the young man before them seemed to have surpassed their understanding.
Yet Lin Beichen remained calm and smiled at them, as if everything was under his control.
At this point, everyone was shocked to find that the young man somehow had a yellowish paper in his hand, adorned with complex blood-red patterns.
The paper danced in his palm, as if uplifted by an invisible force, surrounded by a faint halo.
Suddenly, a layer of golden halo appeared before them, like a sturdy shield, enclosing them tightly.
And those fired bullets were steadily blocked by this halo, unable to penetrate.
Monroe, Galsa, and their men were all dumbfounded; the scene before their eyes was simply incredible.
"What... what is going on here? What method did you use?" Monroe asked in shock.
Lin Beichen just smiled without speaking, while the Christmas behind him couldn't help but interject: "What method? This is superpower, my friend!"
Christmas, not having deep knowledge of Huaxia culture, tended to attribute everything to superpowers.
The moment the bullets flew, Christmas's heart tightened, wanting to dodge.
But through the corner of his eye, he saw others remain motionless, as if they were accustomed to such a scene.
Soon, he understood the reason—Lin Beichen used that mysterious "superpower" to build a protective barrier around them.
Witnessing this, Christmas and Barney were awestruck and curious.
Lin Beichen's "superpower" clearly exceeded their imagination.
Regarding Christmas's "superpower" remark, Lin Beichen did not correct him.
After all, in their culture, there was no concept of "spell," and perhaps this is how they understood superpowers.
Later, Lin Beichen coldly said to Monroe: "It seems you haven't truly understood my meaning."
His words intimidated the group, filling them with fear. The abilities that this young man had shown had already exceeded human scope.
Suddenly, they felt a sharp pain in their wrists, as if they were being forcefully twisted by an invisible force.
The guns in their hands fell and dropped to the ground involuntarily.
The crowd looked at their wrists in shock, then at the guns on the floor, their eyes full of terror.
Lin Beichen coldly scanned over them, gently exerting force with his right hand, and the floating talisman paper suddenly ignited.
A casual wave, and the golden shield dispersed without trace, while the halted bullets also fell to the ground.
The talisman paper turned to ash, scattering in the air.
He continued walking towards Monroe and the others, speaking word by word: "I warned you before, now I'm ordering you. If you don't release her or attempt to test my patience, I wouldn't mind sending you on your way."
His words carried a heavy killing intent, making those present shiver.
They had just witnessed his methods, and at this moment, they strongly believed him.
Galsa looked at him approaching step by step, feeling even breathing had turned difficult.
"Please... please calm down, we can negotiate." He said urgently.
Lin Beichen stopped, looking at him with a smirk: "Negotiate? There's nothing to negotiate. Release her quickly, I don't want to repeat myself."
Galsa quickly looked at Monroe, who despite his reluctance, had to compromise under Lin Beichen's threat: "She's in the secret room at the back, I'll take you there."
Upon hearing that, Xia Luyao and others showed expressions of joy.
They had been searching for Long Chuzhi for a long time and could finally rescue her.
Lin Beichen nodded: "Then lead the way." His eyes signaled Monroe not to play tricks.
Monroe found the switch for the secret door, and a hidden small door slowly opened.
He turned his head to look at Lin Beichen and the others: "She's inside." With that, he was the first to walk in.
Lin Beichen was about to follow when Xia Luyao pulled him to stop: "Lin Beichen, be careful of deceit." She said worriedly.
Lin Beichen smiled at her: "Don't worry, if he dares to deceive, it'll be his own misfortune."
Then, he gently patted her head and followed Monroe into the secret room.
The inside of the secret room was dim and simple, but their focus was fixed on the cage in the corner.
Long Chuzhi lay there quietly, eyes closed, as if in a deep coma.
Seeing no wounds on her body, the group breathed a sigh of relief.
Xia Luyao and Wild Ox quickly walked to the cage, eyes locked on the lock.
"Monroe, quickly open this lock!" Xia Luyao urged.
Monroe casually took a key from his jacket pocket and handed it to Xia Luyao, "Here, take the key."
Xia Luyao took the key hesitantly, her eyes hovering over Monroe's face, seeming to be searching for clues.
Then, she glimpsed Lin Beichen's slight nod from the corner of her eye and felt reassured, turning around to unlock it.
However, at that moment, a strange smile appeared on Monroe's face.
He silently retreated a step back, reaching his hand toward the rear wall where a mechanism was hidden.
With just a gentle press, countless dark arrows would shoot from both sides of the wall, while his position would narrowly avoid all the arrows.
Monroe thought his plan was flawless, but unexpectedly, at the moment he was about to touch the mechanism, his body suddenly became immobile, as if restrained by an invisible force.
He turned his head in shock, only to see Lin Beichen leaning against the wall, arms crossed, looking at him with a seemingly amused expression.
"Are you planning to activate that mechanism?" Lin Beichen asked casually, as if everything was under his control.
Monroe's eyes widened in panic, "How... how did you know?"
Lin Beichen chuckled, "I haven't relaxed my vigilance against you from the beginning. Your every small move was in my observation."
By now, Xia Luyao and the others had successfully rescued Long Chuzhi, turning back to see Monroe's bizarre posture and couldn't help but laugh. "What is he doing? Performing acrobatics?" Wild Ox teased.
Lin Beichen smirked, "Maybe trying to mimic a hen laying eggs."
Monroe ground his teeth, full of unwillingness and resentment.
Everything he meticulously planned was effortlessly thwarted by this man before him.
"You all take Long Chuzhi out." Lin Beichen said to Xia Luyao and the others, "I have some questions for him."
Though puzzled, Xia Luyao and the rest followed the instruction and left the secret room.
Lin Beichen turned to Monroe, with a cold gaze, "Tell me, what was your purpose in capturing Long Chuzhi here?"
Monroe gritted his teeth, unwilling to speak for a long time.
Lin Beichen wasn't anxious, merely looking at him indifferent, "Since you won't talk, I'll send you on your way."
With that, he flicked his hand, and Monroe found himself quickly pushed in front of the cage, facing the wall where the mechanism was hidden.
Lin Beichen slowly reached toward the location of the mechanism, "It seems you want to press this, since you won't speak, let me do it for you."
Monroe turned pale in shock, "No! I'll talk, I'll say everything! Please let me go!" He shouted urgently, afraid he'd lose his life in a second.
Lin Beichen snickered, pulling over a chair to sit, "Then hurry up, who instructed you to capture Long Chuzhi?"
Monroe sighed in relief, starting to disclose the truth, "No one instructed me, I wanted to capture her myself."
He paused, continuing, "I and several peers are drug lords outside Huaxia border, we have all been grateful to Min Teng's favors.
