Chapter 29 - 21: Ghost Shadow Assassin
Chapter 29: Chapter 21: Ghost Shadow AssassinWith a thunderous explosion, the Special Protection Team members scattered in all directions. Brilliant sparks mixed with dirt rose into a thick mushroom cloud. The flower bed where Sophie and the others had just parked was obliterated, leaving a gaping crater in its place, with the choking smell of gunpowder lingering in the air.
"Wow, the quality of this bomb is quite high! If it’s homemade, then this assassin could definitely be considered a genius! If it’s bought, oh right, there shouldn’t be any arms trading allowed domestically now!"
Holding the trembling beauty in his arms, Lin Mu casually reassured her. Sophie took a deep breath; the series of attacks left her with a pale face. Fortunately, Lin Mu, this big-hearted guy, was there to protect her, or else today’s outcome would have been grim.
Just now, the Special Protection Team members who had scattered apart regrouped under Zhao Pengcheng’s lead, but Lin Mu shouted to halt their steps, "Damn, don’t come over, the assassin has bombs. The more people there are, the more it attracts the assassin’s bombs!"
Zhao Pengcheng realized the logic of the statement, and the Special Protection Team members quickly reacted. They scattered to places easy for them to hide while
Unexpectedly, just as he returned to Huaxia, he encountered such a powerful challenge, suddenly igniting the competitive spirit within Lin Mu, a strange excitement about the imminent confrontation filled his heart!
"Everyone, be careful!"
While warning, Lin Mu lunged towards Sophie, but unfortunately, he was a step too late. Just as Lin Mu was about to reach Sophie, the gun in the Ghost Shadow’s hand erupted with a bang, a silver light shot out from the barrel, and Sophie’s face turned pale, with no way to evade, seemingly only able to face the summons of death!
Bang, Sophie seemed to hear the sound of a bullet piercing through her body, but felt no pain at all, and upon closer inspection, she was stunned to discover Xiaowan had sacrificed herself to shield her.
"Xiaowan..."
Tears filled Sophie’s eyes, an overwhelming sense of grief and fury burst forth, Xiaowan was not her kin, but over the years, the two had become closer than sisters!
"Don’t cry... I don’t hurt... I’m so happy... for you..."
Xiaowan choked on her words, nearing death, her words were sorrowful, especially for Su Xiaowan, a weak girl sacrificing herself for righteousness, stirring deep emotions!
Lin Mu rushed in, shoving away Sophie and Su Xiaowan but suddenly felt a chill on his body, damn it, he got shot!
Turning back, he saw the gun in Ghost Shadow’s hand still smoking slightly, but there was no particularly lethal feeling. With his years of battlefield experience, he judged it was a special bullet laced with some sort of drug! But not lethal!
Only then did Zhao Pengcheng and his Special Protection Team awaken from their daze, raising their pistols to shoot at Ghost Shadow, who dodged the bullets with a technique comparable to Lin Mu’s agility, tumbling and twisting unharmed, and seizing the opportunity to draw another handgun, he fired at Zhao Pengcheng and his team!
Bang bang bang, multiple shots fired, and the Special Protection Team fell one after another, Zhao Pengcheng gritted his teeth and stood up, recklessly charging at Ghost Shadow, continuously firing his gun.
Ghost Shadow immediately retaliated, and in an instant, the two clashed in close combat, each hitting their opponent. The difference was, Ghost Shadow was hit in the right hand, dropping his handgun, but suffered no injuries, while Zhao Pengcheng was hit three times, staggering before collapsing to the ground.
Lin Mu steadied himself, confirming his body hadn’t suffered severe damage, just feeling a bit dizzy, perhaps due to a narcotic effect of the bullet, vigorously shaking his head, waving his Iron Fist, lunging towards Ghost Shadow, shouting,
"I’m gonna rip you apart with my own hands!"
"Not bad, taking a shot like that and still fine! You are the strongest opponent I’ve ever faced!"
Ghost Shadow spoke while drawing a Blade from his body with his left hand, its edge gleaming in the afternoon sun, reflecting a dazzling white light, exuding an aura of deathly chill!
Two bullet-defying beastlike powerful men, about to engage in a life-and-death duel, who will emerge the victor?
