Chapter 216: One Shot, One Person

But why did people from Kuangfeng Martial Arts School come here? While everyone was baffled, a few members of the Enforcement Squad quickly walked toward them.

"Brother Hong, you're here."

Han Yong's face showed guilt.

"I'm truly sorry, I didn't expect this to happen either."

Hong Shaoli's eyes turned blood‑red, his inner fury soaring.

But he also knows that getting angry at the other side is meaningless.

If his master finds out, he'll be blamed.

"Captain Han, this isn't your business—where is my wife's corpse?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, his face flushed as if some liquid had been splashed on it, and immediately he smelled a strong metallic rust odor.

"!!!"

The few Enforcement Squad members opposite instantly showed terror on their faces.

Because they saw the man who came with Hong Shaoli, his entire head exploded like a watermelon! Beside him, Hong Shaoli was drenched not only in blood on his face but all over his body.

At that moment, the scene fell into dead silence, though many faces were already filled with dread.

Hong Shaoli felt very strange.

He touched his face with his hand and, when he brought it up, looked at it.

He saw his hand covered in thick blood, the smell of it pungent.

"What is this?"

He widened his eyes, terror also flashing in them.

Why is there blood on his own face?

Whose blood is this?

In the next instant, a thud sounded.

His head, like a watermelon, burst open.

"Ah!!!"

At that point, hysterical screams finally rang out across the scene.

"Cover!"

Han Yong also reacted, shouting loudly.

Clearly, a sniper on the opposite side was aiming here! Moreover, the weapon in the opponent's hand must be a Heavy Sniper Rifle, because only a firearm of that power can blast a head with a single shot or, after hitting the spine, tear a person in two.

Yet before he could take a step, his foot still suspended in midair, he followed the two before him and his head exploded.

Immediately after, the other Enforcement Squad members fell one after another.

Across the street, on the roof of a two‑story building.

Two people wearing golden masks stood there.

It was Jiang Cheng and Ye Ying.

Ye Ying squinted, watching the scene, a chill rising up his back.

Before the Enforcement Squad arrived, she had already come, handing the sniper rifle to Jiang Cheng.

He immediately produced a stack of thousand‑yuan bills and handed them to her.

She took them, but did not hurry to leave.

On one hand, she felt embarrassed.

After all, it was just delivering a gun.

Although Jiang Chen said she didn't need to help, if something really happened, her stepping in once would justify the hundred‑thousand yuan she received.

On the other hand, she was curious.

She had seen Jiang Cheng's gunmanship before, but that time he used a Large-caliber Handgun.

So she wondered how Jiang Cheng would perform after acquiring the Heavy Sniper Rifle. In fact, after Jiang Cheng got the Heavy Sniper Rifle, even she, without much defense, could be killed by a single shot.

Just like the man whose head was blown off earlier.

He was a Level Four Original Force Warrior, yet died inexplicably, and the Level Three Original Force Warrior behind him met the same fate.

What if she realized the danger?

In a city it's fine, with cover everywhere, but in an open area, even if he were a Fifth-level Spirit Mind Master, unless he could close the distance to within thirty meters, he would likely exhaust his Spiritual Power and be shot dead after a few rounds.

"Luckily he's only a Second Level Original Force Warrior."

Ye Ying turned and gave Jiang Cheng a glance. If he were also Level Five, combined with the weapon in his hand, she could hardly see any chance to close the distance.

At this moment, the battle was drawing to a close.

Many Enforcement Squad members lay in pools of blood.

Only one or two, relatively lucky, found cover and hid.

"What a pity."

Jiang Cheng let out a light sigh.

Those Enforcement Squad members weren't exactly good people.

If he hadn't been waiting for a big fish to bite, he would have already fired and killed them.

"Retreat?"

Ye Ying said.

"Hmm, let's retreat."

Jiang Cheng folded away the sniper rifle.

The mission objective had been achieved; staying here any longer was pointless.

And with such a big commotion, it would be bad if it attracted some powerful figures.

"Then let's go."

Ye Ying finished speaking and leapt straight down from the second floor, his long hair fluttering.

Jiang Cheng also jumped down, clutching his sniper rifle.

For him now, jumping from a height of five or six meters is a piece of cake.

If he reaches Level 5, he could even jump from a three‑story height.

Their leap frightened everyone nearby.

After all, at first there were still quite a few onlookers; from the incident to now was less than half a minute, and they, frightened, looked for places to hide, never expecting the culprit to be right above them!

Jiang Cheng waved at one of them, then followed Ye Ying, ran into an alley, vaulted over a two‑ or three‑meter wall, and vanished completely from the crowd's sight.

"My dear mother, that scared me to death."

A middle‑aged woman sitting on the ground kept patting her chest.

"Yeah, I thought they were going to kill us."

"How terrifying—so they were just up there the whole time?"

"Could it be that those few people earlier were also killed by them? After the murders they didn't leave, just stayed here waiting for people from Kuangfeng Martial Arts School to arrive?"

"But how would they know people from Kuangfeng Martial Arts School would come? I've lived here so long and never saw anyone from Kuangfeng Martial Arts School come to that shop."

"Do you think Kuangfeng Martial Arts School might be that shop's…"

The voice abruptly stopped.

Many people dared not think further.

Indeed, the appearance of Kuangfeng Martial Arts School members here was a strange occurrence.

Could this loan company really be run by Kuangfeng Martial Arts School? "Alright, alright, stop the wild guesses and hurry back; today's incident is clearly beyond what ordinary people like us can get involved in."

"Exactly, it even involves that school; we'd better stay out of it, pretend nothing happened and see nothing."

"Right, right, let's get back quickly."

The crowd scattered like a swarm, fearing that if they ran too slowly they'd be caught by someone.

Only the limping man remained, standing dumbfounded in place.

He recalled that one of them, before leaving, seemed to wave at him, as if saying goodbye.

"Could it be him?"

A thought sprang up in the man's mind.

He had no acquaintances here.

"Perhaps it really is him!"

The man looked toward the shop opposite, his gaze complex at first, then quickly turning resolute.

"The great revenge is fulfilled; I must live on, live well."

He said this to himself, then limped away toward the distance.
