Chapter 731: I am the Divine Phoenix!
Lin Yuan's mind went blank, and for a long time he couldn't come to his senses.
How…… how could her martial skill be this good?
Lin Yuan…… gazed at the tall, imposing Qin Bore in the field.
At this moment, Qin Bore seemed like a completely different person from the seemingly delicate, protected rich young lady she had been before.
Lin Yuan felt shocked deep inside.
He even began to doubt that his previous understanding of Qin Bore had been completely wrong from start to finish.
Qin Bore…… brushed off nonexistent dust from her sleeve, her expression still icy, with not a ripple in her eyes.
It seemed as if disabling two thugs and kicking Le Xiao chen over was just a trivial matter to her.
Qin Bore slowly lifted her feet, stepping in her thin high heels, walking step by step toward the kneeling Le Xiao chen on the ground.
Her steps were steady, each one…… as if she were stepping on everyone's hearts.
The icy aura emanating from her made the thousands of new-faction thugs present instinctively hold their breath, none daring to speak.
Le Xiao chen struggled to prop himself up from the ground, the severe pain in his abdomen draining his face of color.
A trace of blood trickled from the corner of Le Xiao chen's mouth; his formerly arrogant and overbearing demeanor was now replaced by shame and fury.
Le Xiao chen watched as Qin Bore approached step by step, a torrent of rage surging in his eyes.
Le Xiao chen gritted his teeth and snarled: "You lowly girl, you're asking for death!"
Before his words faded, Le Xiao chen suddenly raised his hand and drew a black pistol from his waist!
Le Xiao chen moved swiftly, without hesitation…… aiming the gun at Qin Bore's head.
Le Xiao chen's fingers…… tightly gripped the trigger.
As long as he pressed lightly, the bullet would instantly pierce Qin Bore's forehead.
The entire venue instantly fell into dead silence again, as if even the air had frozen.
Seeing this, Lin Yuan's heart leapt to his throat, and he instinctively lunged forward.
But he was grabbed by Zhaojun beside him.
Zhaojun shook his head at Lin Yuan, his solemn gaze signaling him…… to stay calm and not act rashly.
At this moment Qin Bore's aura was overwhelmingly strong; she was clearly prepared, and rushing forward rashly would only add to the chaos.
Lin Yuan clenched his fists till his knuckles whitened, his eyes full of anxiety.
Yet he could only watch helplessly as the gun was aimed at Qin Bore.
Lin Yuan already had a Silver Needle clenched in his hand, his whole body tensed, ready to respond to any sudden situation.
But Qin Bore…… facing the gun pointed at her head, showed not the slightest fear.
On her exquisite, beautiful face…… there was not even a trace of disturbance.
Qin Bore still maintained her icy expression, her steps not pausing in the slightest.
She, still step by step, approached Le Xiao chen until she stood before him.
Qin Bore…… was less than half a meter away from Le Xiao chen.
Le Xiao chen's gun muzzle…… pressed firmly against Qin Bore's forehead.
Qin Bore also remained unchanged in expression, her icy gaze fixed on Le Xiao chen without the slightest dodge.
"How come? You don't dare to shoot?"
Qin Bore's red lips parted slightly, her voice icy and tinged with mockery.
In her tone…… there was not a hint of fear, but rather an aura of controlling everything,
"You weren't just arrogant earlier? You weren't trying to kill me? Now the gun's in your hand—go ahead and shoot."
Le Xiao chen was utterly enraged by Qin Bore's attitude, the fury in his eyes nearly bursting forth.
He stared fixedly at Qin Bore, his fingers tightening slightly, about to pull the trigger.
But just then, Qin Bore suddenly moved, swift as lightning; before Le Xiao chen could react, she raised her hand and delivered a resounding slap to his face.
"Smack——!"
The crisp slap echoed throughout New Union Square, instantly drowning out all the noise.
The slap sound, clearly transmitted into everyone's ears.
Le Xiao chen…… was knocked sideways by that slap.
His cheek…… instantly showed a clear fingerprint.
The blood trace at the corner of Le Xiao chen's mouth…… flowed even more.
Le Xiao chen was completely dumbfounded; he obviously hadn't expected…… Qin Bore…… to dare strike him even while the gun was aimed at his head.
"You…… you dare hit me?!" Le Xiao chen came to his senses, furious beyond measure!
Le Xiao chen snapped his head around, his eyes fierce as he glared at Qin Bore.
Qin Bore was about to shout angrily, wanting to order her subordinates to rush forward and tear Qin Bore into pieces.
But before Le Xiao chen could finish his words, Qin Bore raised her hand again and delivered another resounding slap to his other cheek!
This time, the force was greater than before.
Le Xiao chen's pistol in his hand instantly went limp, clattering to the ground with a "clang."
Before the pistol even hit the ground, Qin Bore flashed, bent down and snatched it up, then reversed her grip…… aiming the barrel at Le Xiao chen's head.
Qin Bore's movements flowed smoothly, completed in one breath.
The icy coldness and ruthlessness in the depths of her beautiful eyes made Le Xiao chen instantly feel a chill run through his body.
Le Xiao chen's inner fury…… was instantly replaced by fear, and he could no longer be arrogant.
That slap directly left Le Xiao chen dizzy and seeing stars, his head buzzing.
Beside him, Le Wei'er saw her father publicly humiliated, and then the gun barrel pressed against his forehead.
Le Wei'er's mind was instantly clouded by anger.
Le Wei'er's face turned icy cold; she ignored her subordinates' obstruction and lunged at Qin Bore.
Le Wei'er raised her hand, intending to slap Qin Bore.
Le Wei'er snapped coldly, "You dare hit my father?!"
Qin Bore's expression didn't change; she didn't even glance back at her.
Qin Bore simply backhanded her, delivering a crisp slap!
"Pa——!" went the sound.
Qin Bore's slap landed hard on Le Wei'er's cheek.
Her speed was greater than Le Wei'er's.
This slap carried tremendous force.
Le Wei'er was struck, stumbling back three steps, and a clear five-fingerprint instantly appeared on her cheek.
A trace of blood also seeped from the corner of her mouth.
Le Wei'er stood frozen in place, her eyes filled with shock and unwillingness.
As the young miss of Le Tian Financial, she had never suffered such injustice from childhood.
"Wei'er!" Le Xiao chen saw his daughter being struck, and his rage instantly overrode reason.
Le Xiao chen glared at Qin Bore with eyes nearly bursting, gritting his teeth as he snarled, "You lowly girl! You're dead! Today I'll make you know… the consequences of offending me, Le Xiao chen!"
As his words fell, Le Xiao chen bellowed at the thousands of New Faction thugs around him, his tone utterly vicious:
"Draw your weapons! Surround this clueless girl; whoever dares to shoot and kill her will be richly rewarded!"
At the command, all New Faction thugs instantly moved, simultaneously drawing black handguns from their waists in perfect unison!
Barrel after barrel of cold gunfire… all aimed at Qin Bore! @
Countless muzzles intertwined, forming a web of death!
The sea of people locked Qin Bore in place; killing intent instantly spread, making the air feel stagnant.
Lin Yuan stood not far away, his heart leaping to his throat.
He instinctively moved to rush forward and shield Qin Bore.
But Lin Yuan was stopped by Qin Bore's cold gaze.
In Qin Bore's eyes lay firm resolve, signaling he need not worry.
Faced with a sky full of gun barrels, Qin Bore showed no trace of fear.
Instead, she slowly curled a mocking smile.
Qin Bore slowly raised her hand, first removing her peaked cap; her silky black hair fell over her shoulders, accentuating her upright posture;
Then she slowly lifted her head and took off her sunglasses.
Qin Bore revealed her stunning true face to everyone without reservation.
Her icy gaze locked onto Le Xiao chen; she parted her red lips, her voice cold and oppressively clear, each word ringing across the square:
"You want to shoot? Le Xiao chen, do you really have that much guts?"
Le Xiao chen — his shouting voice — cut off abruptly.
Le Xiao chen's whole body… % stood frozen as if under a paralysis spell.
When he… saw Qin Bore's true face…
Le Xiao chen's pupils contracted sharply, his eyes widened to the extreme.
Le Xiao chen's mouth opened slightly, yet he couldn't utter a word!
At this moment, Le Xiao chen's whole body… trembled uncontrollably.
The surging fury in Le Xiao chen's heart… was instantly devoured by extreme shock and fear, even his breath halted.
Qin Bore looked at his lost, disheveled state, and the mockery in her eyes deepened.
Qin Bore raised her hand… and delivered another resounding slap, hard on Le Xiao chen's cheek.
The force of this slap… was greater than before.
"Pa!" a crisp sound, once again breaking the silence on the scene.
She leaned slightly forward, her icy gaze fixed on Le Xiao chen.
Qin Bore, her tone tinged with arrogance, asked: "Still being arrogant?"
Seeing Le Xiao chen trembling all over and silent.
Qin Bore furrowed her brows slightly, her tone grew sharper, her voice suddenly rose, carrying an irresistible pressure:
"Answer me! Still being arrogant?!"
This slap sent Le Xiao chen staggering, his body retreating several steps, nearly falling.
The five-finger mark on Le Xiao chen's cheek grew clearer, and the blood at the corner of his mouth flowed more.
Le Xiao chen finally came to his senses; looking at Qin Bore, his eyes held only utter horror.
Le Xiao chen gritted his teeth, suppressing his anger, and said:
"God… Phoenix God? How… how are you here? Everyone… let's talk things out, let's talk things out!"
Le Xiao chen said while unconsciously stepping back.
At this moment, Le Xiao chen retained none of his former arrogance; his eyes were full of appeasement and fear, as if facing something utterly terrifying.
And all the New Faction bosses present also clearly saw Qin Bore's true face.
The bosses, each one, their complexion changed abruptly, turning deathly pale as paper, and they instinctively stepped back half a step in unison.
These New Faction bosses' eyes were filled with incredulous fear and panic; they dared not even breathe.
Nothing else, just because of the two words "Phoenix God."
That name is something they all dread.
Everyone was terrified by this sudden truth, heads lowered, none daring to meet Qin Bore's eyes.
Everyone trembled uncontrollably, fearing that any misstep would invite deadly disaster.
Lin Yuan, standing nearby, heard Le Xiao chen shout the words 'Phoenix God' and froze instantly.
Lin Yuan's eyes widened wide, his face filled with bewilderment and shock.
Lin Yuan unconsciously muttered, 'Not... what's going on?'
He stared fixedly at Le Xiao chen, then turned his head to look at Qin Bore...
Doubts welled up in Lin Yuan's mind like a tide:
What did Le Xiao chen just call Qin Bore? God... Phoenix God?
Lin Yuan's heart pounded nonstop, his face etched with shock, his eyes locked on Qin Bore.
Lin Yuan's gaze was filled with disbelief.
The Qin Bore he knew was a seemingly delicate rich young lady who needed his protection—how could she suddenly become... the Phoenix God Le Xiao chen mentioned, the one whose name struck terror?
What on earth is going on?
The more Lin Yuan thought, the more doubtful and shocked he became.
The words 'Phoenix God' echoed in Lin Yuan's mind, leaving him unable to react for a moment.
Lin Yuan could only stare blankly at Qin Bore, waiting for her answer.
Unable to contain his shock and doubt, Lin Yuan took an unconscious step forward.
Lin Yuan opened his mouth to ask, 'Qin Bore, what on earth is going on? Le Xiao chen...'
But before he could finish, a sudden orderly, heavy footsteps came from afar...
Accompanied by the roar of braking vehicles.
A troop clad in black uniforms, tall and straight, marched mightily toward New Union Square—numerous, imposing, instantly drawing everyone's gaze.
Lin Yuan unconsciously halted his steps and turned his head to look...
When he made out the leading figure of the troop, he instantly froze, his eyes full of surprise and doubt, brows furrowed tightly.
That person was actually Lin Yun'er!
Lin Yun'er wore a sharp black suit, tall and straight, her expression cold; behind her followed a large group of weapon-wielding enforcers with strong presence, each with sharp eyes, exuding a chilling killing intent.
These people are all members of the Divine Phoenix Group.
Lin Yuan's heart was full of doubts as he stared fixedly at Lin Yun'er, thinking to himself:
How could she come here? And she brought so many enforcers?
What further surprised Lin Yuan was that he had always thought Lin Yun'er was the head of the Divine Phoenix Group, that legendary Phoenix God whose name struck terror.
After all, Lin Yun'er herself said she was the Phoenix God.
Even An Yunxi acknowledged it.
So Lin Yuan firmly believed it.
But just now... Le Xiao chen clearly called Qin Bore the Phoenix God??
Now Lin Yun'er has brought the Divine Phoenix Group's enforcers rushing here—what on earth is going on?
Before Lin Yuan could figure it out...
Lin Yun'er had already led a group of enforcers briskly to the square's center, heading straight toward Qin Bore.
The enforcers behind Lin Yun'er stopped in their tracks, standing neatly to the side.
The members of the Divine Phoenix Group all stood straight and respectful, none daring to speak out of turn; the scene was very solemn.
Lin Yun'er walked up to Qin Bore, bowed slightly, her usual coldness fading, replaced by utmost respect.
Lin Yun'er, with a humble tone, saluted: 'Miss! My subordinates arrived late; please forgive me, Miss!'
This scene, like a thunderclap, exploded in Lin Yuan's mind!
Lin Yuan instantly widened his eyes, completely dazed!
Lin Yuan's mouth opened slightly, but he couldn't utter a word, his face full of disbelief.
Not... Goddess Lin Yun'er actually bowing to Qin Bore? And calling her Miss?
Lin Yuan abruptly turned his head, his gaze locked on Qin Bore, the shock in his eyes nearly spilling over.
Lin Yuan unconsciously spoke, his voice hoarse and panicked: 'What... what on earth is going on? Qin Bore, Lin Yun'er, you...'
Qin Bore, hearing Lin Yuan's question, slowly turned her head.
Qin Bore's beautiful eyes gave him a deep look.
The coldness and ruthlessness in Qin Bore's eyes instantly faded, replaced by a hint of playfulness and slyness.
Qin Bore lightly stuck out her tongue, speaking in a light tone with a hint of apology:
'Sorry, Lin Yuan, actually I am the Phoenix God.'
