Chapter 193: Chapter 193 Lord Ba and Poisonous Scorpion_1

Hu—

Ning Fan, like a fierce wind, quickly sprinted toward the district not far from Tianling Company, startling and causing pedestrians and vehicles along the way to dodge out of the way in shock.

"Lord Ba, it’s your turn."

A voice rang out through the earpiece.

A hundred meters in front of Ning Fan, the roof of a heavy-duty jeep violently flipped open, revealing a bald, muscular man.

The bald man was bulging with muscles, raising a long tubular object with both hands.

This bald man was a gunman of the Heisha Organization, known by the nickname Lord Ba.

What he excelled at was heavy firepower, indiscriminately killing targets!

The weapon he was holding was his favorite MK-48 machine gun!

The next second, Lord Ba aimed at Ning Fan, who was running toward him, and pulled the trigger.

"Die, kid!"

Dada dada dada...

The muzzle spat out tongues of flame as countless bullets whizzed towards Ning Fan in an instant.

Weng!

The amulet on Ning Fan’s body lit up with a protective light almost simultaneously, yet it only held up for less than half a second before its energy was depleted and it dissipated.

The firepower of the MK-48 machine gun was so fierce that it could shoot out hundreds of bullets in a flash, and even numerous amulets simply couldn’t withstand the consumption.

But the half second that the amulet held up was enough for Ning Fan to react, his spiritual power instantly covering his hands as he waved them lightning-fast in the air.

Shua shua shua...

Having emptied his clip, Lord Ba stopped and was about to enjoy the sight of his target riddled like a honeycomb.

To his horror, he discovered that the target, Ning Fan, was standing there completely unharmed, as if nothing had happened.

"Who the hell switched my bullets for blanks?" Lord Ba roared angrily into his earpiece.

In his mind, there was only one possibility for someone to remain unharmed under his gunfire: the bullets in his gun had been replaced with blanks that had no bullet heads!

"Blanks? So you call these blanks? Well, let me give you a taste of your own ’blanks’!"

Ning Fan’s tone was icy, full of murderous intent. His hands were filled with bullets, which he flung fiercely towards Lord Ba.

Swish swish swish...

Under the infusion of spiritual power, countless bullets sped back towards Lord Ba, even faster than they had come.

Pup pup pup...

Lord Ba, in the midst of his furious roaring, was instantly riddled like a wasp’s nest.

"Shouldn’t... this... be... blanks?"

Struggling, Lord Ba bent his head to look at the bloody holes in his body and managed to utter a sentence before collapsing headlong from atop the jeep, dead beyond any doubt.

The gunman of the Heisha Organization, Lord Ba, had lost his life!

"Sizzle sizzle..."

"Lord Ba is dead, the mission has failed, the target has escaped!"

"Repeat, Lord Ba is dead, the mission has failed, the target has escaped!"

Another voice sounded in the earpiece.

Without time to check Lord Ba’s body, Ning Fan stamped his foot once more and continued his mad dash towards Tianling Company.

He was both alarmed and furious.

Only because he had advanced two levels in just the past few days, propelled by the Spirit Gathering Array and the True Elemental Elixir, and had already reached the Eighth Level of Qi Refining, did the quantity and quality of his spiritual power surge.

Otherwise, he might not have been able to block such a level of machine gun fire unscathed a few days ago.

Machine guns of this caliber were absolutely forbidden within the borders of Xia Country.

Yet someone had used one to attempt to assassinate him!

Dammit!

This gunman and the truck driver previously must have both been sent by Zhao Xinghui!

And with Zhao Xinghui already at Tianling Company, was Ling’er still safe???

Ning Fan, with his heart burning with urgency, pushed his speed to the limit, finally reaching the intersection a hundred meters away from Tianling Company.

Just as he was about to cross the intersection, an old lady with white hair and a staggering gate stumbled towards him. The frail old lady walked shakily, as if she might collapse at any moment.

Ning Fan was moving extremely fast, and the white-haired old lady just happened to step sideways into his path.

The two collided instantly.

"Ah! Help me—"

The white-haired old lady cried out in shock, her hands instinctively clinging tightly around Ning Fan’s waist.

Ning Fan frowned.

The next second, the old lady flipped her hand, and a blue dagger appeared in her grasp, which she thrust forcefully toward Ning Fan’s waist.

This white-haired old lady was also a member of the Heisha Organization, known as Poisonous Scorpion, specializing in close-quarters assassination with her poisoned dagger.

The poison on her dagger came from the deadliest scorpion on the Nan Yan Continent, capable of killing a person within three seconds of breaking the skin!

Just as Poisonous Scorpion stabbed downward, ready to revel in her triumph, she suddenly felt a blur before her eyes.

Then, her world spun.

Her dagger did not manage to pierce Ning Fan’s body; instead, she was hoisted into the air by Ning Fan, spun around, and slammed heavily into the ground.

"Dammit... how could you..."

Before Poisonous Scorpion could express her shock and anger, Ning Fan snatched the dagger from her hand and tossed it aside.

Whoosh!

The dagger accurately struck Poisonous Scorpion’s chest.

Blood instantly spilled out.

"Should... should die..."

With just enough time to utter a resentful "should die," Poisonous Scorpion spat out foam and, after convulsing a few times on the ground due to the poison, lay still.

The Heisha Organization’s Poisonous Scorpion died by her own favored weapon of a poisoned dagger.

It was rather fitting to her own last words: ’Should die’!

Ning Fan paid no attention to the corpse of Poisonous Scorpion and moved to continue his sprint towards Tianling Company.

Bang!

Suddenly, a dull thud resonated through the air.

Following that, a slender sniper bullet was fired from the rooftop of the Tianling Company building a hundred meters away.

It sliced through the air and pierced Ning Fan’s body in an instant.

Even though Ning Fan had now reached the Eighth Level of Qi Refinement, even though the quantity and quality of his spiritual power had greatly improved, even though he could block machine gun bullets, he still could not withstand the tremendous force of a sniper bullet!
