At this moment, in a room directly across from Dongfang Yanran’s residence, a man spat on the ground in frustration, his expression extremely stiff…
“My Ghost Gun technique actually missed! Damn it! That fool must have been in a daze. Otherwise, how could he possibly dodge my bullet!”
Looking into the mirror and not seeing the outcome he expected, Ghost Gun’s face darkened. Over the past few years, hundreds if not thousands had died by his hands, and this was the first time he had ever missed.
After muttering these words, Ghost Gun aimed once again at the room. If one shot wasn’t enough, he would fire another.
However, before he could locate his target, a chill crept up his spine. He abruptly turned around, instinctively firing a bullet from his sniper rifle. With his years of experience as an assassin, he had full confidence in his instincts.
As long as no one completely closed the distance to his body, he was certain he could eliminate them. This was the terrifying power of Ghost Gun—one shot, and heaven and earth would tremble!
“Your shooting skills are impressive, but you still cannot escape your fate!”
A ghostly voice slowly echoed. Ghost Gun’s pupils contracted sharply, and then a figure appeared before him. In Xiao Yufan’s hand was a bullet he had just fired, now being casually toyed with.
Actually catching a bullet barehanded!
Ghost Gun inhaled sharply, a creeping sense of fear rising within him. He had encountered many powerful individuals, but never had he seen anyone catch a bullet—especially one from his custom-made rifle.
For cultivators at the Nascent Qi stage, conventional firearms posed little threat. Xiao Yufan had caught the bullet purely due to his astonishingly fast reflexes.
Xiao Yufan grinned, his smile sinister, his gaze growing colder as he looked at the woman lying on the ground.
To these assassins, human lives were indeed as worthless as grass. He had killed before, but those who died by his hand were either evildoers or those who had dared to disrespect his woman. He held ordinary people in far too much regard to harm them.
“Who are you…”
Trying to suppress his fear, Ghost Gun’s voice quivered slightly. As the fifth-ranked assassin, this was the first time he had felt his life genuinely threatened. If even his sniper rifle couldn’t harm this man, what chance did he have?
“The one who will kill you!”
Xiao Yufan’s voice was icy, clearly unwilling to give the man time to recover. If you’re an assassin, you should know death could come at any moment.
Suddenly, a surge of killing intent erupted. Ghost Gun barely had time to react. But as the fifth-ranked assassin, he would never just sit there waiting to die. As Xiao Yufan moved, Ghost Gun grabbed his sniper rifle again…
No one knew that Ghost Gun’s rifle was no ordinary weapon. Inside were only three bullets, with the third being his ultimate survival technique.
“If you want to kill me, then die first!”
Ghost Gun’s expression twisted with ferocity. Though he didn’t understand how Xiao Yufan had done what he did, he still had full confidence in his third shot. He could already see another soul joining the ranks of the dead beneath his gun.
“Splitter rounds? I underestimated you…”
As Ghost Gun fired again, Xiao Yufan was already prepared. He naturally wouldn’t underestimate a firearms expert. Yet even so, he still sustained a significant injury from that third bullet!
But it was only a minor wound.
Splitter rounds, as the name suggested, split into two immediately after being fired, making them extremely difficult to evade. Their destructive power was formidable. One had to admit, Ghost Gun was indeed formidable.
Still, no matter how strong he was, today only one outcome awaited him…
Seeing Xiao Yufan only slightly wounded by his splitter round, Ghost Gun was once again shocked. But he also knew that failure meant death.
Closing his eyes resignedly, Ghost Gun felt a cold sensation glide across his neck before he slumped lifelessly to the ground. Ghost Gun, the fifth-ranked assassin, had fallen!
Xiao Yufan showed no emotion. Everyone from the Assassin Guild deserved death. He had killed a Qi-condensing level master before, and now they had the audacity to send someone to the capital. Whether it was foolishness or overconfidence, it was hard to say.
“I guess this can be considered revenge for you…” He murmured softly, glancing at the woman on the floor before turning and walking away.
Back in his room, Xiao Yufan couldn’t help but furrow his brow. One of the splitter rounds had pierced halfway through his arm, and the pain was growing increasingly intense.
“Honey, what’s wrong!”
As soon as Xiao Yufan appeared, Dongfang Yanran rushed out immediately. She had just recovered from her shock and now looked at Xiao Yufan with deep concern upon seeing his injury.
“It’s nothing. I just got ambushed by that guy, but he paid the price!”
Smiling, he accidentally pulled the injured area, causing his face to twitch slightly. It seemed none of the Assassin Guild’s ranked killers were simple opponents. This time it was a sniper. Who knew who would come next.
“Ghost Gun is dead?”
“That’s his name? His shooting technique was indeed strange, but from now on, there will no longer be anyone by that name!”
This was the first time Xiao Yufan had heard the name Ghost Gun, but it no longer mattered. The assassin world would never again speak of him. If anyone was to be blamed, it was his own overconfidence.
“Mm!” Dongfang Yanran nodded lightly, having already guessed this outcome. How could Ghost Gun possibly threaten her husband’s life? Turning around, she fetched some healing ointment and gently applied it to his wound.
Seeing Dongfang Yanran’s gentle demeanor, like a tender woman, Xiao Yufan’s lips curved into a faint smile. Since the Assassin Guild wanted to harm her woman, he wouldn’t mind wiping out every single person who dared to try.
Meanwhile, Dongfang Yanran’s eyes were slightly red. Xiao Yufan’s injury was mostly her fault. If he had been seriously hurt, she would never forgive herself.
“From now on, you’re not allowed to get hurt anymore…”
Her soft voice carried a gentle reprimand as Dongfang Yanran lifted her breathtakingly beautiful face, her smile now carrying a more enchanting charm. How could she not feel grateful to a man who did so much for her?
“I’ll try not to get hurt again—everything I do is for my beloved Yanran!”
Seeing Dongfang Yanran’s alluring charm, the desire Xiao Yufan had previously suppressed surged again. He did not hold back his emotions. Lifting her smooth, jade-like chin, he fiercely pressed his lips onto hers, and soon, the room was filled with a passionate scene…
