Running along the night, Qin Hao's speed was extremely fast, like a shadow darting through the darkness.

However, no matter how fast he was, there were still many pairs of eyes in the shadows behind him, shining brightly.

During the action, the speed of these people was equally swift, and their eyes on Qin Hao were full of killing intent!

"Hmph. Seven people can still keep up with me, not bad."

Qin Hao smiled playfully, knowing these people were scouts guarding the casino entrance. He was only using thirty percent of his speed, yet this group could still keep pace, suggesting there were a few "big fish" among them.

Normally, Qin Hao wouldn't mind taking them out, but tonight, his main objective was to divert attention, ensuring Qin Ling and the others could leave safely.

Besides, the ones truly worth dealing with were not these guys, but the Gun Demon waiting for him over there!

Thus, Qin Hao accelerated, turning into a phantom and disappearing into the night.

The pursuers were shocked: it turned out Night Emperor hadn't been using his full strength!

...

Forty minutes later, a taxi slowly stopped on Philips Avenue.

The car door opened, and Qin Hao stepped out calmly.

Even though he had shaken off the pursuers, he still searched the surroundings cautiously, only beginning to explore after confirming no one was following.

Soon, he found the factory described by the gunman.

Behind a huge iron gate, there was no reinforced concrete in the yard, only rubble and trash scattered everywhere.

"Not a bad hiding spot."

Qin Hao murmured, jumping over the gate.

Falling from a height of tens of meters, he made no sound, his figure moving forward in the night like an agile wildcat.

"Hahaha, Night Emperor's place was destroyed, he must be furious by now!"

Approaching the factory gate, Qin Hao heard laughter from inside. He sneered: now it's your turn to get angry!

He gently pushed the gate open a crack and accelerated toward the sound.

Moving quickly, Qin Hao detected a strange odor in the air.

It seemed to be a combination of many chemical agents.

"Hey, Boss Gun Demon, tomorrow we'll storm in and take Night Emperor's head, how about it?"

The voices got louder as he approached, becoming very clear.

Hearing it all clearly, Qin Hao felt something was wrong.

The voices felt artificial, not natural in any way.

An inexplicable sense of foreboding enveloped him, urging him to find out the truth. He quickly rounded a corner, and the sight made his eyebrow twitch violently.

The voices continued, but there weren't as many gunmen as he imagined.

There was no one there at all!

The noise was coming from a pile of recorders on the ground!

"Not good!"

The next moment, Qin Hao's eyebrows and eyes twitched wildly, every cell in his body instinctively jumping.

This feeling only came when faced with a life-threatening danger!

Boom!

The next moment, Qin Hao heard a thunderous explosion, the decibels nearly rupturing his eardrums.

Quickly, immense flames and shockwaves rushed over at an indescribable speed, and in that instant, Qin Hao's eyes widened in astonishment: this factory had long been rigged with explosives?!

On the top floor of a building opposite the factory street.

The building's rooftop was only two hundred square meters, with a helicopter parked in the center. Although it was not running, the pilot was sitting at the front, fully alert.

In the back seat, upon hearing the thunderous explosion, Gun Demon grabbed a pre-prepared microphone and ran to the edge of the rooftop, just in time to see a huge fireball bloom into the air.

"Oh ho ho! That cost millions of USD down the drain!"

Gun Demon's scarred face was full of excitement as he exclaimed: "But killing a legendary figure is worth it!"

Behind him, an armed gunman approached, unable to hold back a sigh: "Using subordinates as bait, Gun Demon's strategy is truly unparalleled! They say Zhuge Liang in Huaxia was infallible, but in my opinion, even he might not surpass Gun Demon!"

Gun Demon was very smug: "To kill Night Emperor, I've studied him for three whole years. His temper, personality, and style are all thoroughly understood by me. Heh, those arrogant fools only thought of taking Night Emperor's head, little knowing that such behavior is akin to suicide. Night Emperor's close combat abilities are unmatched. To kill him, only long-range tactics would work!"

As he spoke, the fireball gradually dispersed into the heavens and earth at the factory, the pervasive smoke and ash in the air.

Gun Demon took out a pair of mechanical goggles from his pocket and put them on.

These were the latest infrared temperature measurement goggles, capable of detecting biological heat signatures within hundreds of meters.

Gun Demon first scanned the surroundings of the factory, seeing numerous red dots, his subordinates stationed all around.

Then, he moved his gaze to the center of the factory, his entire face suddenly stiffened.

There, the massive area of red was slowly decreasing, indicating the explosion's heat was dissipating.

But in the midst of that large expanse of light red, there was a dark red human silhouette!

"Impossible! Why is he still alive?"

Gun Demon shouted in shock, stunning the subordinates beside him: "No way, the explosion center is at temperatures reaching thousands of degrees, even iron would not survive!"

The subordinate, without night vision, couldn't see inside and couldn't imagine anyone surviving in there.

If such a person existed, why not just have him star in a sci-fi movie?

Gun Demon didn't say a word, his twisted face full of anger, cursing: "Damn Night Emperor, even in this, you won't die, you're as annoying as a cockroach!"

Unconsciously, the smoke drifted away into the night wind, revealing the scene inside the factory.

The factory, once built of reinforced concrete, had turned into a pile of rubble and twisted iron. Everything was charred black, with stones and debris scattered, and many places still smoldering.

Around the factory, gunmen with MA41 automatic rifles, in bulletproof vests, and wearing gas masks were slowly closing in.

From a bird's-eye view, there were about forty of them, forming an impenetrable encirclement.

And with each having a rifle, even King Kong would be in extreme danger being surrounded in the center.

"A whole factory turned into ruins, the leader sure went to great lengths to kill Night Emperor!"

A gunman exclaimed in shock.

Another gunman said: "The leader still overestimated Night Emperor. Frankly, he's just an old-timer eliminated by the times. Why bother designing such an elaborate plan?"

"Yeah, under such bombing, even Superman would perish. I don't understand why the leader left us as a backup. Could it be that Night Emperor could still survive?"

The gunmen whispered to each other, suddenly hearing a "clang" sound.

Apparently, someone had just pushed away a huge piece of steel in the ruins.
