Heh... Hahaha!\" After hearing this, Ximen Wudi first laughed mockingly, then spat out several mouthfuls of blood toward the sky!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So that's how it is,\" Ximen Wudi said, \"I know who you are now; you are that lone wolf from the Huaxia Military Region, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a character with quite a story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is said that when Ximen Wudi was young, he was once the most outstanding scout in Huaxia, determined to learn the ninjutsu of Eastern ninjas to the extreme, so he chose to join the Huaxia military and became an officer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when his unit was carrying out a mission back then, they were ambushed. As a result, Ximen Wudi fought four top ninjas alone; although he was injured, he still took down three of them, and the other two escaped in the chaos. However, Ximen Wudi was also seriously injured as a result.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that mission ended, Ximen Wudi returned to his hometown and recuperated for a year before recovering his vitality. But just as he returned to Huaxia, war broke out. Ximen Wudi led a group of special forces deep into enemy territory, eliminating many mercenaries, making their lives increasingly difficult, which also made Ximen Wudi hate Huaxia even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Ximen Wudi never expected that at this time, someone would actually come looking for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This hatred, Ximen Wudi would never forget, and it was precisely this grudge that prompted him to walk to this step today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you know who I am, why don't you surrender immediately!\" the tall and thin man said, \"Otherwise, you will die a miserable death!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you really think that you can turn the tide with just your own strength?\" Ximen Wudi's expression was extremely gloomy, \"If you want to make a move, then don't think about leaving here alive either!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When saying this, Ximen Wudi was clearly full of anger and sorrow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His father and his younger brother both died at the hands of this man. In a sense, Ximen Wudi and this guy had long since become irreconcilable mortal enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know who is standing behind you,\" the sniper said indifferently, his voice hoarse and cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, he raised his right hand and placed his index finger to his lips, making a shushing gesture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A very ominous feeling suddenly rose in Ximen Wudi's heart! He immediately understood the other party's intention!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, this man did not hesitate to take out a grenade!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi's heart trembled fiercely!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had originally focused all his attention on the sniper opposite him; it was impossible for him to judge when the grenade had flown over!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time Ximen Wudi realized this, it was already too late!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A loud noise!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half of the cabin of this Mercedes-Benz business car had already been blown open!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The car windows were all shattered!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi was also blown into a daze, bruised and swollen!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mouth was full of blood, his head was buzzing, and his vision was blurry!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this state, even if all his combat power remained, he didn't have the slightest strength to fight back!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That sniper walked to the passenger seat, pulled down the car door, reached out his hand, and grabbed a pitch-black gun barrel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the barrel of a sniper rifle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ximen Wudi, do you still remember how you killed Apollo? How you treated the Ximen siblings?\" The sniper roared, \"Their bones are not yet cold, and you couldn't wait to jump out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, he pulled the trigger directly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi's left knee was blown apart on the spot!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards, the sniper dragged Ximen Wudi by his hair and dragged him out of the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The latter was covered in blood, already on the verge of death, his whole body full of bullet holes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a certain death outcome!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just as Ximen Wudi's neck was being tightened, suddenly, a feeling of extreme danger instantly surged through his whole body!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi's body stiffened, his pupils shrank, he instinctively released his right hand holding the gun, and then threw himself to the side!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bullet flew past Ximen Wudi's cheek! It almost pierced through him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sniper rifle!\" Ximen Wudi shouted!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards, the sniper fired another shot, and the bullet grazed past Ximen Wudi's ear!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Ximen Wudi had stayed in place, I'm afraid this bullet would have nailed him directly to the wall!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your reaction speed is quite fast,\" the sniper sneered, \"But what's the use of hiding far away? Let's see where you can run to?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he said this, he raised his gun again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi's mind flashed with the trajectory of the sniper bullet just now; he knew that if it were him aiming, he definitely wouldn't have been able to dodge it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I advise you to give up resistance and surrender obediently,\" the sniper said coldly, his eyes releasing two sharp rays of light, \"If you dare to resist stubbornly again, next time, you won't see tomorrow's sun!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think you've won for sure?\" Ximen Wudi said, \"Do you think you are a lone hero? Little do you know, the Huaxia National Security is full of hidden talents; I have seen too many people like you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huaxia National Security?\" Hearing this, the sniper was slightly stunned, a trace of unexpected light appearing in his eyes: \"It seems I underestimated you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cunning smile appeared in Ximen Wudi's eyes: \"You indeed underestimated me, not just the Huaxia National Security, but also your entire Donglin Temple!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Donglin Temple?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this word, the sniper's brow immediately furrowed fiercely!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He really didn't expect Ximen Wudi to have such a network of connections!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, brilliance flashed in the sniper's eyes: \"It seems you really deserve to die!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whether I die or not actually doesn't matter much,\" Ximen Wudi shook his head, \"Your target has always been Huaxia, the capital of Huaxia. Do you really think you can go unimpeded all the way?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the sniper's expression froze slightly; he seemed to vaguely feel that something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I believe you know better than I do what the combat effectiveness of the Huaxia military and police is like,\" Ximen Wudi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he was on the verge of death, his tone was calm, still maintaining composure, as if everything was under control!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I certainly know, but now you must die,\" the sniper said, \"Otherwise, how can I answer to the Young Master?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he took out a note and threw it to Ximen Wudi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a piece of text, the content was—\"I need you to do one thing; if it's done well, we will be even.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at this note, Ximen Wudi sneered: \"Is your Young Master really a loser? He actually needs my help? Doesn't he know that my legs are disabled and I can't even take a step?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Young Master asked me to tell you that you are not only not a loser, but you also possess shocking wisdom and super combat power; such a person is worthy of our respect. Otherwise, why would he send people to help you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not a loser? Shocking combat power?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi laughed mockingly: \"Heh, is he trying to use such an image to cover up the fact that he is a complete coward?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as you think clearly about this question, that's enough,\" the sniper said, \"Since the Young Master is willing to help you, it shows that the friendship between you two is very deep.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The friendship between us is very deep?\" Ximen Wudi shook his head and laughed mockingly, \"Don't be fooled by our facade; that will only intensify the conflict between you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't need to worry about the conflict between us, because this is something you brought upon yourself.\" \u003C\u002Fp>",1524,"2026-06-15T03:02:23.300Z","2026-06-18T03:52:24.377Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","69cf7e0ef09157803a569e8ef165c11d3d6b9190301447dd2d93d03813b24938","wuxia-shocking-the-empress-at-the-start-chapter-1367","wuxia-shocking-the-empress-at-the-start-chapter-1365",1409,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwuxia-shocking-the-empress-at-the-start-cover.jpg"]
