第60章 "Unlikely Allies Unite"

**Chapter 60: The Unexpected Alliance**

The masked figure, who introduced himself as Mr. Ling, had proven to be a game-changer on the battlefield. His skills were unmatched, and he took down enemy after enemy with ease. Lin Qingxue and Cheng Wei were initially wary of him, but his impressive fighting prowess and quick thinking won them over.
