Chapter 1298: Whoever Moves, Dies!
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Feng seemingly anticipated the trajectory of the life-reaping bullet and swiftly sidestepped with the "miss" in his arms.
With a "bang," the spot where Jiang Feng had just been standing erupted in a shower of pebbles and dust, leaving a frightening, fist-sized crater!
If this bullet had struck a person, their flesh and blood would have likely exploded on the spot!
The "miss" nestled in Jiang Feng's embrace shuddered, breaking out in a cold sweat!
Her beautiful eyes gave Jiang Feng another deep glance—did this guy have the ability to foresee the future?!
He actually predicted the bullet's path in advance and dodged it with ease!
But in Jiang Feng's eyes, a glint of cold light appeared at this moment!
Because that bullet just now wasn't aimed at the girl in his arms, but directly at him!
Evidently, the sniper lurking in the tall building was an extraordinarily skilled assassin, able to instantly determine who was the most dangerous and should be the first to be killed!
However, the opponent clearly miscalculated!
After the first shot was fired, the assassin didn't fire continuously, and the sense of danger not only didn't fade but grew even more intense!
The explosions and gunfire sent everyone on Temple Street into a panic, causing them to flee far away, not daring to stay and watch.
The shop owners screamed and shut their doors, while the stall vendors abandoned their goods and ran, leaving only a few people involved—besides Jiang Feng and the beauty in his arms, there were also the bodyguard Ah Bin and the short-haired beauty!
"Miss!!"
Ah Bin and the short-haired beauty were sprinting furiously towards Jiang Feng and the others, that gunfire had scared them greatly, lucky Jiang Feng had "eyes in the back of his head," or the consequences would have been disastrous!
But just as they were running, gunfire erupted, sniper rifles from the surrounding tall buildings fired several shots, all hitting around their bodies.
They didn't have Jiang Feng's ability to easily dodge bullets and could only stop dead in their tracks, not daring to move recklessly.
"Stay safe in my arms, I'll cover you, don't move."
Jiang Feng also halted his steps at this time and spoke softly to the "miss" in his arms.
"Mm~"
The "miss" gazed at Jiang Feng with her beautiful eyes and nodded.
She indeed dared not move now, lying obediently in Jiang Feng's embrace, even proactively extending her pale arms to wrap around Jiang Feng's neck.
If this scene were seen by those who knew her character, they would likely be green with envy!
But only the girl herself knew that in this critical situation, if Jiang Feng really abandoned her, she would have no way out but death!
Furthermore, the series of actions Jiang Feng had just displayed convinced her that holding onto this young man was far more dependable than her two bodyguards!
"Please, none of you move recklessly, whoever moves, dies!"
Suddenly, a cold and arrogant male voice resounded.
Jiang Feng, Ah Bin, and the short-haired girl instantly looked towards the source of the voice.
In the shadow, a thin, middle-aged man stepped forward!
This thin man, extremely tall like a bamboo pole, had a harsh complexion and eyes filled with a numb but bloodthirsty expression of cruelty.
He stared directly at the stunning girl in Jiang Feng's arms as if looking at a lifeless object.
Then, his gaze shifted to Jiang Feng, sneering, "Young man, your skills are impressive. If not for you, the target would already be blown to pieces! Hehe, indeed, heroes emerge young. Miss Mo, I didn't expect that in this Jiangdong, there would be a master protecting you, who was beyond our calculations... but it's alright, today, you are destined not to escape!"
"Who are you?"
Ah Bin roared sternly, his entire energy surging, ready to strike at any moment.
Maestro Level Martial Artists were not to be trifled with, able to kill a target with just a thought!
The thin tall man seemed to know Ah Bin's background well; he was at least thirty steps away from Ah Bin, a distance at which Ah Bin could not strike him from mid-air to threaten him.
"Hehe, Du Bin, is it? You don't need to know who I am. My task is simply to hunt down the target!"
The thin tall man laughed chillingly: "Listen up! There are thirty Hundred-step Thrust snipers here, and you are all within range. So, I advise you not to act hastily; otherwise, I promise you will be shot in the head immediately!"
Ah Bin, enraged and unwilling to be controlled, was about to act, but the next second, he was enveloped by a sense of foreboding!
Several killing intents from different directions locked onto him simultaneously!
This made Ah Bin instantly freeze his movement technique, his pores shivering, as if needles pricked at his back.
The thin tall man wasn't bluffing; he was indeed targeted by snipers from different directions.
Though he was a Maestro Level Martial Artist, he didn't have the ability to dodge bullets.
Even more terrifying was that there weren't just one or two snipers surrounding them but a terrifying thirty!!
The short-haired beauty, seeing Ah Bin intimidated, suddenly revealed a fierce light in her eyes, like a little lioness about to devour someone.
"Pretty girl, you better not move either."
The thin tall man sneered, "You're also targeted, you dare budge, and there'll be not a trace of you left!"
"Who sent you here? Why are you trying to assassinate my young lady? Do you dare to reveal your identity?!" the short-haired beauty yelled angrily!
"Hehe, you're not qualified to know that."
The thin tall man's laughter was full of mockery: "We assassins have our professional ethics. The employer's identity will never be revealed lightly."
"You!" The short-haired beauty was filled with rage but utterly helpless.
The thin tall man sneered disdainfully and then turned his gaze to Jiang Feng.
"Boy, I have to say, you're the only miscalculation in our plan! But no matter, the result won't change. Now I give you two choices: First, let go of Miss Mo and leave immediately! Second, get shot in the head! Make your choice!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng remained as calm as a rock and smiled slightly, "The first bullet just now was aimed at me, right?"
"Hmm?" The thin tall man frowned, "What do you mean?"
"It's simple. I don't like to owe favors. Since you owe me, you'll have to repay it." Jiang Feng replied calmly.
The thin tall man grinded his teeth, "So, you don't want to stay out of this? Hehe, youngsters are indeed young, thinking they're invincible with a bit of skill, wanting to play the hero? We have a total of thirty top-notch snipers, do you still think you have a chance to gamble with your life?"
"I'll give you three seconds to consider!" The thin tall man's gaze suddenly turned razor-sharp, "I'll count to three! If you don't leave, then....die!!!"
"1!!!"
The thin tall man began the countdown!
Jiang Feng squinted slightly, already sensing the thirty intangible yet substantial killing auras wrapping around him!
Clearly, thirty-eight sniper rifles were simultaneously trained on him!
