Chapter 285: Chapter 285: Gunfight (1)_1

However, Situ Jin, Xiao Muli, and Yu Qihao were all calm, not at all frightened by the bullets. The three exchanged looks, their eyes filled with unwavering determination. Today, no matter what, they were resolved to protect Situ Xin.

Situ Xin hadn’t noticed the exchange of glances among the three. At that moment, she released her Divine Sense and gradually enveloped the car and its surroundings.

"Who has such deep pockets to hire three or four mercenaries?" Situ Xin’s face looked extremely ugly as she spoke, while thinking about possible suspects in her mind. She believed that these mercenaries were definitely her adversaries’ doing. "Uncle Sun, don’t panic, steady the car and speed up. Once we drive out of this place, we should be alright." The mercenaries’ ambush was set up in a small grove they passed through every day on their way to school, where few people usually walked.

After passing through this grove, there would be more people ahead. And based on Situ Xin’s understanding of these mercenaries, they wouldn’t expose themselves just to complete their mission; if unsuccessful, they would wait for another opportunity to strike.

Once past this incident, Situ Xin wasn’t worried about these mercenaries at all. Comparing these mercenaries with her Dark Division and the elite of Dragon Society was like comparing apples to oranges. It wasn’t that Situ Xin was currently afraid of these mercenaries. Although she knew that her brother, Xiao Muli, and Yu Qihao had good backings, they lacked the kind of real combat experience that these mercenaries, who lived off the blood on their hands, had.

Xiao Muli, on the other hand, was tightly pursing his lips, his hands clenched together. He was enveloped in an aura of murderous intent.

Upon hearing Situ Xin’s instructions, the driver, Uncle Sun, took a deep breath and prepared to slam on the gas pedal. "Uncle Sun, wait," Situ Xin said, using her Divine Sense to monitor the outside situation. As Uncle Sun was about to press the accelerator, one of the mercenaries seemed to sense their intentions and fired at the car’s tires.

And just as Situ Xin finished speaking, a loud "bang" was heard. The tire burst.

Upon hearing the explosion of the tire, everyone’s faces turned grim. Situ Xin took a deep breath. She ultimately reached into her pocket and pulled out four guns, handing them to Situ Jin, Xiao Muli, and Yu Qihao, then said, "Here, take these for self-defense." Originally, Situ Xin had planned to command Situ Jin to act in accordance with her but then reconsidered.

She had Divine Sense and could pinpoint the exact locations of the mercenaries, but the other three could not.

"Miss, what about me?" asked the driver, Uncle Sun, his voice trembling as he eyed the guns in their hands.

"Uncle Sun, just stay down." As she spoke, Situ Xin released her Divine Sense to its utmost limit. She located the exact positions of all the mercenaries, first aiming towards the southeast direction, where one lay hidden in the bushes.

"Baby, what are you doing?" Situ Jin held the pistol in his hand. At this moment, they no longer cared about how Situ Xin happened to have guns on her, but seeing the pose Situ Xin took, Situ Jin asked in a grave tone. A bullet shot through the window and the mercenary in the bushes fell upon impact.

After Situ Xin fired the first shot, she switched positions three more times and fired three more bullets. As the four bullets were fired, Situ Xin’s face turned pale and beads of cold sweat formed on her forehead.

Situ Xin knew she was physically overexerted; the use of Divine Sense just now had exceeded her own limits. After taking a deep breath, she summoned her strength and said: "Uncle Sun, see if the car can still drive. If it can, drive away from here." After saying that, Situ Xin turned to Situ Jin, "Brother, call dad and ask him to send someone quickly."

Even though Situ Xin had shot all the mercenaries outside, she still feared there might be stragglers. She didn’t dare take any risks.

As soon as Situ Xin finished speaking, she fainted, which scared Situ Jin, Xiao Muli, and Yu Qihao. "Baby, what’s wrong with you? Don’t scare your brother," they exclaimed.

"Xiao Xin, Xiao Xin, what’s wrong with you?" When Situ Xin fainted, her soul unexpectedly entered the Phoenix Nest. Even inside the Phoenix Nest, Situ Xin’s soul remained in a comatose state. However, her soul was enveloped layer by layer by the spiritual energy within the space, resembling a white cocoon.

Baibai sensed Situ Xin’s entry into the space and teleported from its place of cultivation. Seeing Situ Xin wrapped in a white cocoon, it flung itself at her, attempting to tear away the white substance surrounding her.

But as soon as Baibai touched the white material, it was repelled by a force. This made Baibai realize that the white substance was not harmful to Situ Xin and it settled down.

It simply lay there, underneath the enveloped Situ Xin, without blinking, staring in her direction.

With Situ Xin’s collapse, Situ Jin and the others became red-eyed with urgency. Thankfully, they still had their wits about them and knew where they were. With Situ Xin present, they all subconsciously centered around her.

But now, as Situ Xin had fainted, they each took responsibility for what needed to be done. Situ Jin called Situ Haotian and informed him of the situation on the scene.

Upon receiving the call, Situ Haotian and his men immediately rushed to the scene.

When Situ Haotian arrived and saw the state of the scene and the bullet holes in the car Situ Xin and the others were in, his heart clenched. Opening the car door and finding Situ Xin lying pale in Situ Jin’s arms, eyes tightly shut, Situ Haotian was stunned.

Fortunately, Situ Jin reminded them to hurry to the hospital, which snapped Situ Haotian out of his shock. When Situ Xin finally awoke, it was two days later.
