Even though Song Zong spoke in a low voice, his tone was still filled with deep shock.
Yama Chasing Life, King Yan's signature move; everyone in the assassin world knows how terrifying this technique is!
"You actually are..." Song Zong couldn't believe it, he had lost all will to fight.
The person in front of him was actually the Legendary King of Assassins!
Without time to think further, Lin Hai's next palm strike was like a mountain collapsing, and if this hit, Song Zong knew he would undoubtedly die.
He could no longer care about failing the mission, survival was now crucial, enduring the excruciating pain as if his bones were crushed by an excavator, he smashed through the glass beside him, trying to escape.
"Trying to flee?" Lin Hai casually picked up a coffee spoon, aimed it at the direction Song Zong was escaping towards, flicked his wrist, and the coffee spoon turned into a cold gleam as it flew out.
Puff—
The coffee spoon penetrated Song Zong's knee joint, and with its powerful force, it even punctured the tire of the car in front of him.
Song Zong staggered to the ground, he had tried to flee by car, only to realize he had underestimated just how powerful King Yan was; with one move he was cut off and gravely injured.
"Hmph, overestimating oneself!"
Lin Hai was in a very bad mood, how could Bai Gu want to kill his own sister?! Impossible!
This was a crucial moment for him to safeguard the underground world of Huadu. If combined with Bai Gu, the forces of Reincarnation Company and Skeleton Club together could influence most of Huadu.
Together with the covert aid from Su Zhentian, this confrontation against the RX organization would be as good as won.
But now, an abrupt and unexpected change had occurred.
Lin Hai could see a shift in Wang Jingjing's gaze right now, it was one of despair, much like the despair and deep pain he felt years ago when he couldn't find Little Scorpion, only seeing ruins.
This was not what Lin Hai wanted to see; he preferred joy!
Suddenly, Lin Hai sharply sensed a dangerous aura.
Bang bang bang—
Three gunfire shots violently broke the silence.
"Be careful!"
Lin Hai's sharp instinct made him raise his hand to block his forehead's temple.
He immediately felt a piercing pain in his palm; the Gang Qi was instantly dispersed by the bullet's impact, shocking him greatly.
"Tungsten core armor piercing bullets!" Lin Hai immediately recognized the type of bullet.
"Isn't this kind of stuff used for aircraft?"
This was indeed about shooting aircraft in the literal sense.
These bullets are usually used in 12.7 caliber anti-aircraft machine guns, but it seems that the same caliber Barrett has been modified to also use them.
"The opponent came prepared, besides Song Zong, there are also assassination snipers lying in ambush!"
Blood dripped from Lin Hai's palm, a result of the bullet's force breaking through the Gang Qi.
Such bullets, coupled with specially modified guns and exceedingly tricky shooting trajectories, could potentially kill even a Supreme Strong under unguarded circumstances.
Supreme Strong are not invincible; certain special poisons and large lethal bullets are still deadly.
Lin Hai always knew, even a third-rank assassin could have a chance to kill a Supreme Strong; originally, he and Judge had successfully killed Shiva.
If it wasn't for the bizarre fusion of the blood on the Finger Bone Ring and the Holy Blood after his previous injury, which abnormally boosted his physical strength to an insane level after advancing to a second-rank Supreme Strong, combined with the long shooting distance, the bullet shattering the thick glass and losing much of its force, Lin Hai could have been severely injured today.
This is a terrifying gun master!
In an instant, Lin Hai thought of Gun God, but immediately dismissed the idea; Gun God had a good relationship with him and was half a mentor to Shen Dun, certainly not someone who would assassinate him.
"Not the Gun God..."
"Could it be the Sniper King, Storatas?"
"Very likely!"
Judging by the trajectory of the bullet, the direction of the wind, and other factors, it was clearly the work of an exceptional gun master. Apart from Gun God, Lin Hai could only think of Sniper King Storatas.
The Sniper King, slightly inferior to the Gun God, but their skill in marksmanship is nearly on the same level. The difference lies in the fact that the Gun God masters all applications of every gun, while the Sniper King only knows everything about sniper rifles.
Another bullet was aimed at Wang Jingjing.
Lin Hai could no longer protect her; though lengthy to describe, everything unfolded in the blink of an eye.
"Damn it!"
Just as he was about to finalize a partnership with Bai Gu, his plans were continuously thwarted.
Is he about to watch helplessly as a delicate woman dies before his eyes?
From the trajectory and the shape of the bullet, Lin Hai was absolutely certain that the hidden shooter was the Sniper King!
"Sniper King, I will have your life!" Lin Hai roared.
A flicker of astonishment and surprise passed over Wang Jingjing's delicate face, yet she showed no fear.
Unexpectedly, just then, a burst of Gang Qi erupted from her body.
"Supreme!"
Seeing the speed displayed by Wang Jingjing, Lin Hai couldn't believe his eyes. This seemingly delicate girl who was just drinking coffee with him and so fragile during the fire, was actually hiding her true power and had deceived him.
The bullet hit where she initially stood, but Wang Jingjing had already moved over a meter away; the Gang Qi of the Supreme vanished, and she seemed to revert to being a weak girl.
"Have you been deceiving me all along?" Lin Hai widened his eyes.
"Brother Lin, listen to me, I wasn't deceiving you. I have a disease, and the Gang Qi in my body was infused by the senior who adopted me and Bai Gu to suppress my illness. The activation just now was a reflex action triggered by the emergency," Wang Jingjing explained.
Her delicate face was covered in sweat, her breathing unsteady, looking like she might faint at any moment.
As she said, she was actually a normal person, merely supported by a vast Gang Qi placed there to suppress her illness which could endanger her life at any moment as it fades.
While they were conversing, a third bullet streaked towards the fleeing Song Zong.
Startled, Song Zong dodged frantically, but his leg was still splattered with a burst of blood.
"Damn it, it's a trap! I've been used as bait!" Song Zong roared in anger, but didn't dare to linger since the café was in a desolate place, with no passersby to block the sight.
Gritting his teeth, Song Zong rushed back toward Lin Hai's position.
"Boy, are you seeking death?" Lin Hai squinted his eyes, emanating a deadly aura.
Enduring the pain and the imminent threat of being killed, Song Zong quickly said, "Sir, I know your identity is noble, and you disdain to kill a small figure like me. I ask for your protection."
Under the circumstances, this was his only option.
"Why should I?" Lin Hai snorted coldly, he was no philanthropist.
"I can reveal the mastermind behind this!" In order to survive, Song Zong discarded the assassin world's rules and taboos.
