Chapter 458: Chapter 478: The King in the Darkness _1

"Go!"

With Han Shude’s support, Han Xuehai stood up, his face unwilling and helpless as he uttered a single word.

After winning, Su Erhe from the Baling Sect retreated into the store, and the door was closed again.

After walking a long distance, they saw the light come on again in the pharmacy, and it was evident that the Baling Sect had begun to search for valuable items inside.

Seeing this, the others were filled with hatred in their hearts but had no choice.

What can be done if one’s skills are insufficient?

Han Xuehai stopped, looked back at the pharmacy where the lamplight came on, his eyes full of anger and helplessness.

Who could blame him for losing?

"I’ve been thinking, we should split up to cover more ground in the shortest time. If we encounter an area that has already been taken and there are many of them, don’t force a fight. Move on to the next area and search as many as possible. Don’t fight, just search. Do you all understand?"

Han Xuehai’s thoughts were clear and he spoke calmly, "I have suffered internal injuries, and so has Xue Gong. If I have to fight, I am not at an advantage. It is better to split up, search as many places as possible, and avoid fighting. Do you all understand?"

"Understood!"

Han Shude and the others all agreed. They understood that if they couldn’t win a fight, they had to change their approach.

Lin Chen didn’t mind, as his thoughts were still on the pharmacy they had just left.

He had to go back and take a look.

"In that case, if you encounter any danger you can’t avoid, use a long and short howl as a signal. Everyone disperse, and we’ll regroup here in six hours. Remember the location."

Han Xuehai looked around and saw that everyone had no objections, so he clapped his hands, "Alright, let’s split up."

Lin Chen watched as the four members of the Han Family disappeared into the darkness before turning back towards the path they had come from, heading straight for the pharmacy.

As Lin Chen approached, he concealed his breath, like a cat retracting its claws, silently making his way through the darkness toward the pharmacy that glowed faintly.

Quickly, Lin Chen reached the entrance of the pharmacy. With the help of the lamplight shining from inside the house, Lin Chen leaped and flew straight up to the second floor, quiet as a shadow.

From the balcony on the second floor, Lin Chen snuck into the room and silently crawled onto the wooden floor, peering down through the gaps.

On the first floor of the pharmacy, five people were busily working. They opened every medicine cabinet, checking the contents inside. Some were empty, others had medicinal materials thrown away casually, but some medicines or elixirs were carefully wrapped and placed into their backpacks.

Lin Chen didn’t move.

These five Great Grandmasters were difficult opponents. Although Lin Chen was confident in his strength, it was only in a one-on-one situation. Lin Chen didn’t think he could beat the five of them together.

"We’ve almost finished searching downstairs, Hu Shan, Zhou Yuan, you two go upstairs and search quickly. The pharmacy is an important target for everyone. We must leave as soon as possible!"

"Alright!"

Following Su Erhe’s order, the two silver-haired old men responded and headed toward the stairs.

Lin Chen held his breath and suppressed his heartbeat, making himself seem like a fossil, sitting in a dark corner on the second floor, waiting silently.

He had just seen Hu Shan and Zhou Yuan’s backpacks bulging quite a bit. Apparently, they had found quite a few good things, otherwise they wouldn’t have put them in their bags.

Hu Shan took the lead, flashlight in hand, and walked up the stairs, then approached Lin Chen.

Lin Chen suddenly made his move.

Like a ghost, he suddenly appeared behind Hu Shan, slapped him with a palm while grabbing the backpack on Hu Shan’s back with his other hand.

"Bang!"

Like a cannonball, Hu Shan flew out, crashing through the railing and falling from the second floor to the first floor, making a loud noise as he hit the ground.

Lin Chen didn’t use lethal force, after all, they had no grudge. He just wanted to snatch Hu Shan’s backpack.

The backpack landed in Lin Chen’s hands. At the same time, Zhou Yuan, who was following behind Hu Shan, reacted quickly. Even though Lin Chen was hidden in the darkness, Zhou Yuan instinctively aimed a powerful punch at his location.

"Boom!"

Zhou Yuan’s gang qi was like a giant hammer, piercing through the wall of the second floor in an instant, making a loud noise but not hitting any target.

Zhou Yuan’s punch was amazingly powerful, but he didn’t hit anything, making his heart skip a beat.

It’s over!

Just as Zhou Yuan exclaimed in his heart, Lin Chen, like a ghost in the darkness, approached Zhou Yuan in an instant.

Zhou Yuan responded quickly and struck back with a palm.

This palm also missed.

The next second, Zhou Yuan felt a sudden lightness on his back as his backpack was quickly torn off by someone, breaking the straps and separating it from his back.

Zhou Yuan panicked!

The backpack contained valuable items he had found in the pharmacy and other places before.

A gust of wind brushed past Zhou Yuan as if a dark shadow had swept past him, then jumped straight down from the second floor and landed on the street.

Zhou Yuan immediately rushed to the railing on the second floor, shining his flashlight all around but finding nothing.

The attacker vanished like a ghost!

"Who?"

Downstairs, Su Erhe’s shout rang out as he leaped up, bypassing the first floor’s height and landing on the balcony of the second floor.

"Whoever it is, have the guts to come out and don’t sneak around!"
