Chapter 577: Chapter 0577: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes
In the crowd, Ye Xunhuan’s body hair stood on end in an instant, and a scent of death enveloped his heart.
Based on the faint sound of the gunshot, Ye Xunhuan instantly deduced the trajectory of the bullet. A cold smile appeared on his face, but he did not start to counterattack. Instead, as if overwhelmed by great shock, he immediately pulled Mei Hanqing to the ground!
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The bullet once again passed inches away from Ye Xunhuan, hitting devout Catholics who were kneeling on the ground.
Instantly, the entire scene plunged into unprecedented chaos.
At the moment of death’s complete arrival, these believers who had appeared very devout now began to scream, and some had even started crawling up, preparing to run.
This place was simply too dangerous now. Even though the people around Nicholas had shown great strength before these Catholics, in the face of death, they still couldn’t make them believe in Nicholas, such is human nature!
At this moment, not only had Nicholas’s once ruddy face slowly contorted, but it also became sullen as if it could drip water.
Just then, Ye Xunhuan whispered to Mei Hanqing, "Go to Nicholas’s side!"
As soon as the words fell, Ye Xunhuan immediately sprang up from the ground as if startled, shouting while he ran.
As if deliberately to provoke Nicholas, Ye Xunhuan spoke in English, the international language.
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s shouting, Nicholas now rather wished to kill Ye Xunhuan than the gunmen. That bastard was actually inciting their followers not to believe in Catholicism and God anymore, saying things like God won’t protect you, in God’s eyes you are all insignificant ants, your sins will not be washed away by God...
Nicholas had never wanted so badly to squash a person before.
But the target was Ye Xunhuan, a marshal; even if he wanted to squash him, he couldn’t!
Suddenly, Ye Xunhuan appeared beside Nicholas like a ghost, making the officiants and priests who were calming the believers tense up.
"Old man, do you see the woman who was standing with me just now? Take good care of her. If anything happens to her, I’ll make your Catholicism fall apart!"
As the words fell, Ye Xunhuan vanished from the spot like a ghost, as if he had never been there.
But Nicholas knew that it was not an illusion; Ye Xunhuan had appeared at his side and had even threatened him!
This made Nicholas’s sullen and angry heart nearly explode, but he had no choice but to do as Ye Xunhuan said.
If something really happened to the woman with him, that guy would definitely make good on his threat.
After leaving the scene, Ye Xunhuan immediately headed towards the location of the two gunmen; he had already deduced their location from the bullets!
So, all of these people had to die.
His principle was clear: those who seek his life—must be slain!
"Swoosh!"
Ye Xunhuan suddenly appeared in front of a gunman, as if descending from the heavens!
"Hey buddy, looking for me?"
After hearing Ye Xunhuan’s fluent English, the gunman’s pupils suddenly constricted, and almost instinctively, he aimed his gun at Ye Xunhuan to shoot!
But before he could act, Ye Xunhuan’s hand strike had already attacked.
For someone like Ye Xunhuan, a hand strike was no different from a real knife, absolutely the same—if he hit the target, there was only one way out: death!
"Crack!"
A sound of bone breaking echoed, and then the gunman was seen collapsing limply onto the ground.
"With such paltry skills, you dare try to kill me, you fool!" Ye Xunhuan cursed disdainfully.
At the same time, Ye Xunhuan was plunged into a state of confusion. Who wanted to kill him?
Did someone know he had come to Milan and decided to make a move?
But if that was the case, they shouldn’t have sent such people to be cannon fodder, right?
Moreover, if the people of the church found out that someone made a move during their dispersal ceremony, the consequences would be well known.
This was a matter of Catholic faith, the most important and sacred rite, and now someone had interrupted it—this was like making an enemy for life!
Anyone who wasn’t a fool should know better than to do such a thing, right?
But someone had done it. Whose head had been kicked by a donkey?
Ye Xunhuan’s speed was incredibly fast, so fast it was unbelievable. He moved like a gust of wind; before you could react, he would vanish from your sight with a whoosh.
At this moment, Ye Xunhuan’s speed was pushed to its utmost extreme, reaching a terrifying level!
Every time Ye Xunhuan paused in his footsteps, there would be one less hidden gunman still searching for him.
In just a moment, Ye Xunhuan had killed five gunmen, leaving only one.
"Buddy, stop looking. I’m right here." Ye Xunhuan looked at the Caucasian man in front of him with a smile, eyeing him as if he were prey, his eyes filled with a teasing light.
The sudden sound of Ye Xunhuan’s voice made the man’s heart tremble violently upon seeing him!
When had he appeared here?
Immediately, as the man thought about resisting, Ye Xunhuan’s voice came out again, "Don’t try to resist. Killing you would be as simple as slaughtering a chicken!"
With that, a murderous intent suddenly radiated from Ye Xunhuan.
The terrifying murderous intent seeping from Ye Xunhuan made the man feel as if a huge stone was pressing on his chest, causing his breathing to become rapid in an instant.
"You... you..."
"If you don’t want to end up like your companions, all begging God for forgiveness, then tell me who sent you to kill me!" Ye Xunhuan’s voice changed slightly, "Don’t try to remain silent, and don’t try to deceive me. No one in front of me can keep a secret, and no one can lie to me!"
"Of course, if you don’t believe me, you could try!"
The words of Ye Xunhuan echoed in his ears, and feeling the sharp and icy killing intent from Ye Xunhuan, the man couldn’t help but swallow hard!
"I... I don’t know..."
Upon hearing the man’s words, a cold smile immediately appeared on Ye Xunhuan’s lips. His right hand shot out suddenly, grabbing the man’s shoulder as easily as picking something out of a bag.
Without giving the man any chance to resist, Ye Xunhuan’s right hand exerted force abruptly!
"Crack!"
With that squeeze, Ye Xunhuan crushed the man’s shoulder, causing the man to utter a pained howl involuntarily.
"The human body has a total of 206 bones. Tell me, what would a person look like if all 206 bones were crushed?" Ye Xunhuan asked with a devilish smile, "Tell me, would that person die?"
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, the man’s face drastically changed, his breathing became even more ragged, his eye muscles twitched wildly, and an unprecedented fear surged in his eyes!
"It’s... it’s Norman!"
Upon hearing the two words ’Norman,’ Ye Xunhuan’s expression suddenly became grave!
Could it be that Xiahou Yuzhu and Luo Hanlin wanted to kill him?
