Chapter 588: Chapter 588: Explosive Shot Crossbow Bolt!

A sack of heads.

At this moment, everyone covered their mouths, especially after seeing the bloody heads.

They didn’t know what to say.

"Are these the people?" Tang Zhong asked with a smile.

The people around were stunned as well.

Su Mingya covered her mouth. She had never seen such a bloody scene before—someone actually did this!

"How... how did he collect all the heads together?"

Luo Shui’s eyes widened in disbelief.

"...This!"

From the heads, it was clear that these were not ordinary people.

Looking back at Tang Zhong, Luo Shui had an ugly expression on her face. She couldn’t believe it—could Tang Zhong not be a strong force? Impossible, if he really were such a force, the organization wouldn’t have sent them to protect him. Someone like him, he simply didn’t need their protection at all.

Even though Dead Shot was on the tower top, he could see the scene unfolding below, his face filled with disbelief.

"This... how is this possible?"

His gaze swept over the heads in the sack. Despite being bloody, he recognized every face. One of them, with a large beard—that wasn’t the seventh-ranked assassin, Bearded Luo Ge? And another head resembling a clown—that wasn’t the sixth-ranked Bloody Clown?

Dead Shot could recall every familiar name, and now they were all dead, reduced to mere heads.

"I can’t believe it..." Dead Shot said in horror.

But he quickly regained his composure.

The dead, they were not in the same league as him, Dead Shot.

Holding a sniper crossbow in his hand, a fierce smile returned to his face.

"So what if it’s them? They’re too useless, still dreaming of taking your orders, now they’re dead, they truly deserved it!" Dead Shot said.

"You’re the same. If you’re from Xuan Country, you must be killed!" Tang Zhong said.

"Don’t think that just because you killed them, you can beat me. If Dead Shot had no skill, how could I deserve the top spot on the international assassins’ ranking? This is Lin City, not Dragon Group’s base. Do you really think you can beat me alone? Let me tell you the truth, even if I kill everyone now, what could you do to me?" Dead Shot said, looking triumphantly.

At that moment, the ordinary people around, hearing Dead Shot’s words, especially the part about being top on the assassins’ ranking, all started to panic.

"Number one, it’s actually an assassin~"

"Are we doomed to die? No good, I don’t want to die yet!"

"Me neither!"

The timid ones started to shiver, hardly anyone wanting to die, but the current situation inevitably drove them towards such thoughts.

Luo Shui’s expression was solemn; she might be the person who knew Dead Shot best at the scene. An assassin, the top assassin, extremely foul in his methods of killing. She also knew what Dead Shot was most skilled in—spear technique—but he never killed with a spear, instead using other methods. He would only use a gun when facing a true enemy. Against someone like Tang Zhong, Dead Shot probably wouldn’t even need to blink.

No, he must not be allowed to die!

The order from the organization had been given, so they had to protect Tang Zhong well. Without delay, Luo Shui shouted to Tang Zhong, "You... come here quickly, you’re not needed here!"

But Tang Zhong ignored Luo Shui and looked at Dead Shot instead, saying, "You won’t be able to kill even one person, and then you will be killed by me!"

Dead Shot’s gaze turned ominous upon hearing this. What he hated the most was someone saying they would kill him. He immediately picked up the sniper crossbow and aimed it at Tang Zhong, "You keep saying you want to kill me. If you can’t even block one of my shots, you’re too worthless!"

People who heard Dead Shot were startled, especially Luo Shui, whose complexion changed drastically. She knew he was about to shoot and shouted to Tang Zhong in a panic, "Quick... dodge!"

Even the others at this moment focused intently, watching the scene unfold in the distance.

"Too late!" Dead Shot shouted at that moment, his face twisted with a sinister grin as he pulled the trigger.

In that instant, a round crossbow bolt fired from the muzzle, trailing flames as it shot in a straight line toward Tang Zhong.

The crossbow bolt, aflame, was indeed a spectacle against the night sky.

Upon seeing this, Luo Shui hurriedly yelled, "Look out, dodge it!"

Both Su Mingya and Wei Xiaoqing couldn’t help but widen their eyes, and though Wei Xiaoqing said she wasn’t nervous, she actually was.

Others saw the crossbow bolt being fired, too, and quite a few began covering their faces, fearing they would witness a gruesome scene. If the crossbow bolt hit someone in the head, it would surely burst open, and blood would gush out.

But at this moment, Tang Zhong, with a slight smile playing on his lips, watched the incoming crossbow bolt and simply extended his hand. With a sudden press, a crossbow bolt appeared in his grasp.

The once flame-erupting crossbow bolt quieted down in an instant.

He caught the crossbow bolt with his bare hands!

The others turned their heads away, not daring to watch the scene unfold. They were actually quite grateful to Tang Zhong. If it weren’t for him stepping forward, they would have been the ones dead.

After a long while, everyone turned back around and, upon seeing Tang Zhong still standing there, they were all dumbfounded.

Not dead? He actually wasn’t dead.

Just a moment ago, they had clearly seen the crossbow bolt flying toward him, but how could it be that he wasn’t dead?

Luo Shui’s face also turned unsightly, his eyes filled with disbelief. The bolt had clearly flown toward Tang Zhong.

To say that Dead Shot could miss was simply impossible.

There must be something wrong.

Su Mingya and Wei Xiaoqing were also stunned.

"Xiaoqing, did you see that? He... he got shot, but it seems like nothing happened!"

Wei Xiaoqing didn’t speak. How could a Grandmaster possibly be killed by a bullet? She just hummed lightly in response.

"What? How is that possible?" Dead Shot’s pupils shrank, filled with a terror-stricken look.

His bullets were incredibly fast, but now, they hadn’t killed anyone. So where did the crossbow bolt go?

Suddenly, his pupils constricted even more at an even more unbelievable sight: he saw Tang Zhong holding a crossbow bolt in his hand.

"This... this can’t be possible, this absolutely can’t be possible!" Dead Shot cried out in horror.

He was supposed to be unerringly accurate, but... but...

This was simply the ultimate insult in Dead Shot’s life.

"You... bring it on!"

Dead Shot picked up the sniper fire crossbow. He had gone mad, frantically pulling the trigger over and over, refusing to believe that he couldn’t kill this guy.

In that moment, flames burst forth continuously from the sniper fire crossbow’s muzzle, with ten shots fired all at once.

You could see ten crossbow bolts flying through the air together.

Heading straight for Tang Zhong.

"Kid, I refuse to believe that you won’t die this time. My shots never miss!" Dead Shot bellowed ferociously.

Not being able to kill was a humiliation to him.

"Oh, is that so?" Tang Zhong slightly lifted the corners of his mouth as he watched the flaming crossbow bolts fly through the air toward him.
