Chapter 576: Chapter 0576: At This Moment, Life and Death Hang in the Balance
For Ye Xunhuan, who had often danced on the edge of the Grim Reaper’s scythe, his perception of danger was incomparable to that of ordinary people!
The moment the hidden gunman among the crowd fixed his gaze on Ye Xunhuan and aimed the pistol concealed in his sleeve at him, Ye Xunhuan’s heart suddenly tightened, instantly sensing a murderous intent.
However, before he could locate the source of this murderous intent, the hidden gunman had already pulled the trigger!
"Whoosh!"
In the crowd, a silenced bullet was fired instantaneously, streaking through the air like a meteor, cutting through the resistance, and heading straight for Ye Xunhuan through the gaps in the crowd.
Time seemed to slow down, the scene almost frozen.
Under the gunman’s gaze, and with Mei Hanqing standing still and with their back to him, it was as if Ye Xunhuan had eyes on his back. The very moment the bullet was about to hit the back of his head, he gently pushed Mei Hanqing to the side and then swiftly bent down!
"Bang!"
This evasion by bending down allowed the bullet to graze past the top of his head and hit a Black man not far ahead, causing the man to fall into a pool of blood.
If it wasn’t for everyone in front and around him being devoutly kneeling, the victim would not have been this Black man but someone else.
"Clang!"
The Black man fell to the ground with a thud, and blood immediately gushed out, causing the devout Catholics kneeling on the ground to be momentarily stunned. When they saw the body on the ground, they immediately let out a piercing scream.
Suddenly, everyone was drawn to the piercing screams and upon seeing the Black man lying in the pool of blood, every Catholic there was shocked.
Someone dared to murder during their most sacred Mass, gradually turning the shock of the numerous devout Catholics into unprecedented anger.
You should know the Mass is the most sacred and important ritual in Catholicism. Now, someone had committed murder during such a time.
In their eyes, this was a blasphemy against their God.
Mei Hanqing was also stunned. She had been wondering why Ye Xunhuan had pushed her, but now she seemed to understand, her heart also filling with unprecedented tension!
Who wanted to kill Ye Xunhuan?
Did Ye Xunhuan have enemies here?
At this time, the face of Priest Nicholas, conducting the Mass, was filled with unprecedented rage, his normally peaceful and benevolent eyes now flickering with a cold and deadly intent!
It was that reckless individual who dared to disrupt his Mass, and the intended target was the marshal!
Whose brain was flooded enough to attempt killing the marshal in such a crude manner?
Was it to challenge his authority or to provoke the marshal into attacking them?
At this moment, Nicholas’s heart was filled with indescribable fury. The attacker was absolutely unforgivable!
Just as Ye Xunhuan had bent down to dodge, the gunman was completely stunned. That was supposed to be a fatal shot, but he... he had actually evaded it!
Was it a coincidence?
Before he could act again, he felt several chilling murderous intents hitting him, making him shiver from head to toe!
The next moment, without any time to react, the priest already standing with Nicholas suddenly moved like a cheetah on the African savannah. With lightning speed, he reached the gunman before he could speak, grabbed his throat with his right hand like a vice, and then threw him like tossing trash!
"Whoosh!"
The gunman’s body traced a beautiful parabola in the air and then slammed heavily onto the ground.
After hitting the ground, the person didn’t even twitch before he died.
Ye Xunhuan had not moved at all from beginning to end, merely watching quietly everything that occurred in front of him.
And the Catholic believers, seeing the man thrown by the priest and the pistol falling from his hands onto the ground, immediately understood what had really happened.
This caused a fierce murderous intent to fill the eyes of all the worshipers as they looked at the gunman.
In their eyes, blaspheming God was an unforgivable sin.
Although the purpose of Catholicism was to love humanity and all sins could be cleansed and erased, Ye Xunhuan knew that despite Nicolas’s kind and gentle appearance, he was absolutely a butcher when it came to killing. 𝑛𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝘤𝑜𝘮
At that moment, Ye Xunhuan’s brow furrowed once again.
The next moment, three silenced bullets, coming from an unknown location, whistled towards Ye Xunhuan.
This caused Ye Xunhuan to curse loudly in his heart.
Do they really think I’m easy to bully?
Just as Ye Xunhuan was about to make a move, the Bishop next to Nicolas moved with the speed of thunder.
It was Nicolas who had him move.
The reason Nicolas had him move was entirely because he didn’t want to see Ye Xunhuan go on a killing spree here. If Ye Xunhuan started killing, then no one here could stop him, regardless of their numbers, many would die!
At the same time, with his influence in the Western world, unless any of the other nine supremos appeared, no one could touch him at all!
Moreover, if Ye Xunhuan thought that someone from the Holy See wanted to kill him, then the consequences would be unimaginable!
Like a flash of lightning, the Bishop suddenly appeared beside Ye Xunhuan, his right hand shook and a dazzling golden blade immediately appeared in his hand, and then he swept it towards the incoming bullets.
"Ding ding ding!"
Three clear sounds rang out, followed by the three bullets falling to the ground.
The Bishop then leapt up like a dragonfly skimming the water and charged directly at another gunman.
As this Bishop moved away from Ye Xunhuan’s side, the sniper hidden in the darkest upper reaches of the church pulled the trigger, launching an attack on Ye Xunhuan!
"Bang!"
The sniper bullet sprayed out of the muzzle, carrying a stream of heat as it whistled towards Ye Xunhuan.
Repeatedly being targeted for assassination filled Ye Xunhuan’s heart with unprecedented anger, but he was forced to dodge the whistling sniper bullet!
"Bang!"
The bullet hit someone else, causing them to immediately fall into a pool of blood.
"FUCK!"
The hidden sniper cursed immediately, then once again aimed the sniper scope at Ye Xunhuan.
At this moment, it was not just one gunman aiming at Ye Xunhuan through a sniper scope, but six!
It seemed they had made up their minds to kill Ye Xunhuan in Milan and let him die during this mass ceremony!
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The six gunmen almost simultaneously pulled their triggers, six sniper bullets completely surrounded Ye Xunhuan, carrying an intense sense of death as they whistled towards him.
Six shots, six different positions, leaving Ye Xunhuan no space to dodge, intent on taking him down with a single shot!
This moment was crucial for life or death!
