The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine

Chapter 507: Chapter 507: Step Aside, or, Headshot!

Huang Xiaolong seemingly predicted the trajectory of this life-reaping bullet. He held the lady, sidestepping a step.

With a thud, where Huang Xiaolong had previously stood, stone and dust splashed on the ground, leaving a fist-sized, awe-inspiring hole. Goodness, if this bullet had hit a person, it would likely burst them right open.

“You see, I told you, didn’t I? I still have to carry you,” Huang Xiaolong said, grinning. But in his eyes, a chilling glint appeared.

Because, that bullet was not aimed for the lady in his arms, but for Huang Xiaolong!

It seems that the sniper hiding in the building is an exceptional assassin, who could discern in the blink of an eye who is the most dangerous and should be the first target to take down!

However, he missed.

After the first shot was fired, the assassin didn’t continue to shoot, but the sense of danger didn’t disappear — instead, it intensified!

With the explosions and gunshots, people nearby ran for their lives, keeping their distance, not daring to stick around to watch the excitement.

Soon enough, the once bustling entrance of the bliss temple was deserted, leaving only a handful of people.

For instance, Huang Xiaolong, who was holding the lady, the grandmaster who was protecting the lady, the short-haired beauty, and the disguised gunmen.

Also, Lin Zicong.

At the entrance of the bliss temple, Minghui and others also gathered.

“Miss!” Minghui and others shouted in terror and rushed up like a flood!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sound of gunfire echoed.

Snipers from the surrounding high-rise buildings, four shots in total, precisely took four lives. All of them were staff and bodyguards of the bliss temple.

In an instant, Minghui and others felt a stabbing chill crawling up their spines, instinctively stopping their steps, their bodies turning stiff and cold.

“Oh? Miss? Your surname is Ji?” Huang Xiaolong laughed incredulously. “I see, you’re the famed fox spirit, haha, ranked second in the world of gambling.”

“Yes, my surname is Ji.” The lady nodded, right now, she didn’t dare to move rashly, lying obediently in Huang Xiaolong’s arms. The situation was critical, and if Huang Xiaolong truly abandoned her, she would only be left to die, as there were, after all, multiple snipers lurking around!

Moreover, Huang Xiaolong’s actions just then convinced Miss Ji that the young man holding her was much more reliable than her bodyguards!

“Behave. No sudden movements. Whoever moves, dies.” A cold and haughty male voice sounded.

Everyone turned towards the voice.

They saw a lean middle-aged man stepping out from the shadows, extremely tall, like a bamboo pole, his face was pale and ruthless, and in his eyes was a numb and bloodthirsty expression. He stared directly at Miss Ji in Huang Xiaolong’s arms, as if she was merely a corpse.

Then, his gaze turned to Huang Xiaolong. “Young man, your skills are exceptional. If not for you, the target would have already been blown to bits… Ah, heroes truly are young. Miss Ji, I didn’t expect you to have an ace up your sleeve in Binhai, inviting such an expert… haha, he’s beyond our calculations… but it doesn’t matter, today, there’s no escape!”

“Who the hell are you?” The grandmaster roared, martial power rippling from his body, his clothes swelling up as if he could strike at any moment.

Grandmasters could kill targets with a single thought, let alone using their True Qi for long-range killing.

The lean tall man seemed well aware of the grandmaster’s prowess, keeping a good thirty steps away from him. At this distance, the grandmaster couldn’t possibly land a blow, thus denying any possible threat.

“No need to know who I am. My task is to just hunt down the target.” The lean man sneered, “There are a total of 28 expert snipers here. Every single one of you is within their range. So, don’t make any unnecessary moves. Otherwise, the next one to die will be you. I’d seriously rather not start a slaughter.”

While talking, the lean man turned his gaze to the grandmaster. “You’re already in the crosshairs of my sniper. Why not try to see who’s faster — you killing me, or the sniper killing you? I am privy to your details, you’re a grandmaster, but I believe, your body, your True Qi, won’t be able to block a sniper round. Your speed, might not even match that of a bullet. If you don’t believe it, go ahead and try.”

Suddenly, the grandmaster was overcome by a terrible premonition, his entire body tense and alert. He knew the lean man wasn’t bluffing, he was truly being aimed at by a terrifying sniper.

Although he was a grandmaster, he wasn’t necessarily faster than a bullet. Plus, the sniper’s aim would be very precise; if they shot at him, they would definitely aim for the head or places where the True Qi couldn’t reach.

What was even more terrifying was that there were more than just one, there were a horrifying 28 snipers!

From the looks of it, there was no way they could fail to assassinate Miss Ji today!

Right now, even the grandmaster didn’t dare to be rash.

The short-haired beauty’s eyes were filled with murderous intent, like a lioness ready to pounce.

“Pretty lady, don’t move.” The lean man warned.

Minghui had a sudden thought. “Did the eldest or second young master hire you? Or… or is it the gambling devil Mo Shaofeng…”

“Pfff~~~ You’re not qualified to know. You run casinos, you have casino rules. We’re assassins and we have professional ethics. We won’t disclose our employer’s identity.” The lean man smirked, thoroughly mocking.

The lean man gave another arrogant laugh, finally, his eyes settled on Huang Xiaolong.

“I have to admit, you’re the only one we overlooked. Either way, the result won’t change. Young man, you have two choices now. First, put down Miss Ji and scram. Second, get your head blown off.”

“Hehe, seems like the first bullet was aimed at me, wasn’t it?” Huang Xiaolong chuckled innocently. “If that’s the case, I can’t just ignore this… I’m the type who bears grudges.”

“Pfff~~~~ Wake up, young chap. You think you’re a superhero? We have 28 top snipers here, do you think you have a chance?” The lean man’s eyes suddenly turned sharp. “Giving you one last chance, I will count to three! If you don’t leave by then, then… die!”

“1~~!!!!” frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

The lean man started counting!

Huang Xiaolong’s eyes slightly squinted, he immediately felt 28 invisible yet tangible killing intents surrounding him!

From the looks of it, there were certainly 28 sniper rifles, all aimed at Huang Xiaolong!
