Chapter 331: Chapter 0331: Kneel Down, I’ll Make Your Death Swift
The bullet, like a meteor falling from the sky or a flash of black lightning, reached Qiu Ruoxi’s face in the blink of an eye.
Qiu Ruoxi was instantly dumbfounded, her mind went blank, and her entire body stiffened on the spot!
Just as Qiu Ruoxi’s life hung by a thread, Ye Xunhuan moved, darting towards her like a cheetah on the African savannah, as fast as lightning!
The moment before the bullet could hit her, Ye Xunhuan embraced Qiu Ruoxi, twisting his body and falling backwards rapidly!
And in that instant when Ye Xunhuan had just tackled Qiu Ruoxi to the ground, the assassin lurking within the shopping mall made his move again, while a cold curve formed at the corner of his mouth!
"Bang!"
Ye Xunhuan, holding Qiu Ruoxi, hit the ground first, making a muffled sound!
Simultaneously, after bringing Qiu Ruoxi to the ground, as if anticipating the enemy’s next strike, Ye Xunhuan rolled on the ground with her in his arms, rolling to one side!
The moment they had just rolled aside, three darts landed in a triangle precisely where they had just fallen!
Before hitting the ground, perhaps due to extreme nervousness, Qiu Ruoxi’s body was rigid, and her heart was in her throat, especially after seeing the bullets on the ground. Her fair face turned pale, and her eyes became somewhat vacant.
Embraced by Ye Xunhuan, feeling his steady and strong heartbeat, Qiu Ruoxi slowly came to her senses, and the fear and tension in her heart gradually disappeared.
At this moment, a strange thought arose in her heart. It seemed that as long as she was in Ye Xunhuan’s arms, even if the sky fell, she would be safe!
After coming to her senses, Qiu Ruoxi looked at Ye Xunhuan, "What... what’s going on?"
"Big sister, someone’s trying to kill us!"
Holding Qiu Ruoxi’s delicate body in his arms, inhaling the faint fragrance from her, and feeling the softness and resilience of Qiu Ruoxi’s chest at Saintess Peak, at that moment, Ye Xunhuan harbored no ill thoughts.
Qiu Ruoxi was slightly startled, then remembered the bullet she had obtained from Ye Xunhuan’s office. Could it be...
A bold idea began to form in Qiu Ruoxi’s mind.
Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly noticed that Ye Xunhuan’s left arm was bleeding. Seeing this, a look of unprecedented concern crossed Qiu Ruoxi’s face, "Your... your arm..."
"It’s nothing, don’t worry about it!" Ye Xunhuan said nonchalantly, "Stay here and don’t move!"
"I’m going to slaughter him!"
As his words fell, Ye Xunhuan suddenly stood up and, like a gust of wind, charged outside.
Ye Xunhuan had refrained from moving earlier, entirely because he was worried Qiu Ruoxi might suddenly emerge from somewhere and encounter danger, so he had endured patiently!
And with so many people in the shopping mall, Ye Xunhuan didn’t want to endanger the innocent. But now, it was clear that the adversary had given him a chance and was heedlessly courting death!
Did he really think that just by holding a gun in such a complex place, he could kill him?
Qiu Ruoxi wanted to say something, but before she could speak, Ye Xunhuan had already vanished from her sight.
Upon seeing Ye Xunhuan charging out, the assassin’s face immediately turned grim!
He knew well that Ye Xunhuan was heading straight for him. Ye Xunhuan, as a Marshal, had a far superior sense of danger than ordinary people and could definitely lock on to the source of the killing intent in a flash, thereby targeting him!
Instantly, the idea to retreat formed in the assassin’s mind!
A Marshal’s strike was not to be taken lightly!
Moreover, he was just an assassin. The mission had clearly failed, and taking action now was obviously not a wise decision.
Fortunately, this was a bustling marketplace, teeming with people, which he could use to make his escape.
But could he really get away?
Just as he thought to flee, Ye Xunhuan appeared before him like a ghost, not far away, "Just now I gave you the chance to run and you didn’t, do you think you can run now?"
Upon seeing Ye Xunhuan, the man’s complexion abruptly changed, and he quickly raised his gun, aiming at Ye Xunhuan, attempting to continue pulling the trigger!
But it was already too late!
This time, Ye Xunhuan didn’t give the man the chance to shoot. His entire body moved with lightning speed, quickly reaching in front of the man, and with a sweep of his hand, powered by the momentum of the run, he directly slapped down!
"Bang!"
After a dull thud, the sheer force directly knocked the gun from the man’s hand to the ground and caused a stinging pain in his palm!
In the blink of an eye, the man had lost his weapon, which changed his expression immediately. Without another word, he attempted to flee!
"You won’t get away!" Ye Xunhuan said coldly, "Viper, did you really think I wouldn’t know it was you?"
As soon as he spoke, Ye Xunhuan moved, nearly in a blur he was behind Viper, swinging his hand as if reaching into a bag, he reached straight for Viper’s shoulder.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
The swiftness of Ye Xunhuan’s grab brought with it a rustling of wind, causing Viper’s heart to skip a beat. Almost instinctively, he bent and dodged quickly to the side.
"Swoosh!"
Viper’s swift movement made Ye Xunhuan’s grab miss!
"Viper, kneel down, I’ll grant you a swift death!" Ye Xunhuan commanded with the presence of an ancient sovereign, filled with the aura of looking down upon the world!
Hearing these words from Ye Xunhuan, Viper’s expression turned ugly.
It was an insult, a stark insult, and it was full of contempt!
Yes, contempt, Ye Xunhuan didn’t regard him at all.
"Marshal, are you so sure you can kill me?" Viper said coldly, "I’m not running because I’m afraid of you, but to avoid unnecessary trouble for myself!"
"Really?" Ye Xunhuan scoffed, "Viper, you’ve tried to kill me twice, haven’t you? If you think you’re strong enough to kill me, why use a hidden weapon?"
"I’m an assassin; of course, I minimize the risk!"
"Aren’t you afraid that by killing me, you won’t get what you want?"
"Do you think a Marshal can die so easily?"
"What do you think?"
"That’s why I chose to use a hidden weapon, to cripple you first!"
"Too bad, you failed!"
"No matter, I believe I can deal with you before Huaxia’s pack of mad dogs arrives!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Viper kicked off the ground, turning into a shadow, whooshing towards Ye Xunhuan, and at that moment, a flash of white light streaked from his hand, attacking Ye Xunhuan’s neck!
