A group of young people holding various weapons slowly closed in on the two with obvious malice on their faces. Qin Yan had prepared for the worst from the beginning, using his body refining ability to greatly increase the strength and density of his bones, muscles, and skin, and activate his muscles to enhance his strength to the optimal state.

This was the first time Qin Yan had used his body refining ability at full power, and it took a lot of effort to do all of this. Fortunately, Lin Shiqi had been babbling with Liu Shi all this time, which bought him a lot of time to successfully strengthen his physical abilities to the limit.

"Kid, don't blame me, blame yourself for messing with Stone Brother's woman, die!" A young man in his twenties with a sinister smile on his face picked up a metal bat and smashed it towards Qin Yan's head. Qin Yan was surrounded by people on all sides, with no room to dodge. He gritted his teeth and raised his left arm to resist the blow.

With a clear sound, the metal bat hit Qin Yan's left forearm and then bounced back. "Not bad, can withstand it!" Although Qin Yan's left hand was trembling from the impact, he didn't feel much pain. It was like being hit by a hollow plastic stick. After resisting the blow, he kicked the man in the abdomen with great force. The man immediately flew backwards and fell among the crowd, clutching his stomach in pain, rolling on the ground and retching, unable to speak.

"No way, this is so exaggerated, just one kick and he's like this."

"That kid is amazing, he can directly block an iron rod with his hand!"

After seeing the man's miserable condition, the crowd was shocked and hesitated, not daring to approach Qin Yan, afraid of becoming the next victim.

"What are you afraid of? Whoever can take down this kid for me, I'll give him fifty thousand, hurry up and get him!" Liu Shi shouted frantically. Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man. The greed in the eyes of these people was evident. It was not clear who was the first to shout, but the crowd rushed towards Qin Yan frantically, attacking him with their weapons.

"No choice, have to fight!" With his body refining ability protecting him, Qin Yan didn't feel too scared and calmly dealt with the crowd's attacks. Lin Shiqi leaned against his back, using her magic ability to create a strong wind to disrupt the crowd and slow down their attack.

Although the group of people held weapons and outnumbered Qin Yan, they were unable to break through his body refining ability's defense. At most, they could only leave shallow cuts on Qin Yan's skin with their machetes, causing some superficial injuries to Qin Yan. In contrast, every punch and kick from Qin Yan could cause significant damage to them. In just a few minutes, five or six people were knocked down by Qin Yan and lost their fighting ability.

Seeing Qin Yan's bravery, the group of people hesitated again. They looked at Qin Yan with uncertain and surprised eyes, and someone exclaimed, "Why can't we hurt him? Is he one of those rumored superhumans?"

Another person said, "I heard that these superhumans not only have immense strength but can also make themselves impervious to weapons and fire. No matter how many people come, they are not his match."

"What should we do? Six people have already been defeated by him. This is not working!"

"Why don't we take down that woman first? She seems to be able to use strange spells, but doesn't seem to be good at fighting."

"Okay!"

So these people gave up on Qin Yan as their main target and focused their efforts on attacking Lin Shiqi. Unlike Qin Yan, Lin Shiqi did not have body refining abilities to protect herself, and she could not withstand a single attack. Seeing these people rushing towards her frantically, she quickly screamed and hid behind Qin Yan, begging him to protect her.

Qin Yan didn't want Lin Shiqi to get hurt, so he focused on protecting her. However, this left him unable to fully attack the group of people. In addition, he endured many hits from sticks and machetes while trying to protect Lin Shiqi.

"Damn it, Shiqi, you said you were good at this, why are you now being a burden?" Qin Yan endured many hits on his arms, back, and thighs, becoming frustrated. Although he could withstand these hits in the short term, the accumulated injuries were starting to take a toll on him over time.

"There's no way. They're all charging at me like mad dogs, wielding knives to attack me. I don't have time to use my magic abilities," Lin Shiqi also felt helpless. She was surrounded by people, and any careless move could result in being hit by the malicious individuals' weapons. Using magic abilities required intense focus and concentration, but in such a chaotic environment, she couldn't unleash her magic abilities effectively.

"What should we do? If you keep this up, you'll play me to death. Why don't I just throw you out and feed these jackals?"

"You dare!" Lin Shiqi scolded in a coquettish voice. Then she came up with a solution: "Take me to the car, with the car to protect me, I will have time to use my magic abilities."

"Okay." Qin Yan agreed, seizing the opportunity, he grabbed a person by the neck and forcefully pushed him towards the red car, with the person taking the brunt of the attacks from the crowd. The group of people had bloodshot eyes, continuously slashing at the person caught by Qin Yan, by the time they reached the car, the person had already been hacked to death.

"These beasts are so cruel, I didn't want to use this trick!" Lin Shiqi was also angry, she took out a black lump from her pocket that looked like a coal ball and threw it into the air. The black ball floated in mid-air.

"Flame Nova!" Lin Shiqi's eyes flashed with a strange light, the black ball suspended in mid-air disintegrated instantly, turning into countless black particles and powder, drifting towards the surrounding crowd.

With a loud bang, the black particles and powder ignited violently, a bright red flame ring appeared, rapidly expanding outwards, attacking the crowd from all directions. The crowd was so dense that they couldn't dodge this sudden flame ring, and more than ten people were hit by the flame ring instantly, their hair, eyebrows, and clothes caught on fire, burning fiercely.

"Wow, help!"

"Burning to death, I'm going to be burned to death!"

"It's hot, move away, move away, don't squeeze me!"

There was a wail from the crowd, the people on fire screaming frantically, running in all directions, surrounded by people, they ran around so wildly, spreading the fire to others, setting their bodies on fire, burning together.

In an instant, the scene became extremely chaotic, except for the outermost group of people, most of the crowd was on fire, the flames spreading rapidly among the crowd, the air filled with the foul smell of burning flesh, the desperate cries of the crowd, the scene was like a bizarre and terrifying inferno.

"Uh, Shiqi, you're much more ruthless than me!" Seeing this chaotic scene, Qin Yan couldn't help but feel fear, he stood in front of Lin Shiqi, and when he saw a person on fire approaching, he punched him down. He had protective energy on him, so the flames didn't cause much harm to him, plus they had a car as a protective barrier, so although they were in the middle of the crowd, they were not harmed by the flames.

"They deserve to die for bringing knives to attack me, these scum dogs!" Lin Shiqi said angrily, although the sight of this inferno made her very scared, having Qin Yan by her side for protection gave her a sense of safety, and she couldn't help but relax.
