Chapter 71
(Unedited)
…
Inside the room dimly lit by the neon light outside, the smell of burnt things wafted through the air along with the thick smell of blood and other substances. The nauseating feel of the murky air is uncomfortable but not enough to make me puke.
As I lay my eyes on the people around the room, I could see many of them are wounded heavily, while many corpses are lying on the ground.
In the corner of my eyes, I noticed someone crawling out of the door dragging his wounded body. From one glance I could tell that this person is Lin Ting.
Bang!
I heard a loud noise from the side and I could something hitting my side. The force is great but not enough to wound me, I guess. However, it caught me off-guard and I was sent staggering to the side.
Then I noticed that someone is actually faking his death while lying on the side and a pistol is hidden on the clothes of another person's dead body.
I could see that the man is going to shoot again. I wanted to dodge, but it was too late.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The rapid gunshot erupted in the air as the man emptied his clip.
At this time, I was a bit astonished. I already know that fire could not hurt me, and now it seems that regular bullets could also not hurt me.
But my constitution stats fell to 9/70%...
It seems that I should get hit by more bullets or else, I will surely die if my constitution reaches 0.
The man suddenly dropped the clip, but I would not let him shot me the second time. So without hesitation, I quickly grab his hand, and with a slight effort, I could hear his bones breaking.
Crack! Ehyaaahhh!!!
The man cried in pain as I crushed his hand along with the gun.
I then threw the man out of the window.
I began scanning the room and tried to sharpen my senses to see if someone is still alive. Then in the corner, I noticed a rapid heartbeat along with her rapid breathing.
"I guess a girl was spared from the blast…" I thought as I turn to the door and open it.
As soon as I opened the door, I immediately heard a clicking sound. This time, since I am alert and prepared, I quickly dodge to the side.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The bullets began flying towards my previous location, but some are now flying in the direction where I just dodge.
I did not have time to think as I quickly move my body to dodge the flying bullets all around me.
…
The armed guards of the club have already reached the private room and saw them crawling figure of Lin Ting their boss. One of them immediately grabbed him and drags him towards the corner.
"Get me out of here!" said Lin Ting in a low voice.
Before they could move, they heard the sound of a gun from the private room. Lin Ting smile at this time as he knew that one of his bodyguards has shot the culprit. But then this was followed by a series of gunshots which made Lin Ting smile more under the pain he is feeling.
But then they heard someone crying in pain inside the room.
This made Lin Ting feel that something is wrong. So he immediately commanded his men to take him away.
As they turn around, they suddenly heard the people in the corridor shooting.
"Hurry!" Lin Ting said as he was carried by two large men.
They immediately arrive in the elevator and press the button.
"Come on! Open up!" Lin Ting shouted in agitation.
He did not want to die in this place. He is suspecting that Yu Bai has discovered his dealing with Professor Ang and wanted to silence him.
"Damn you… Yu Bai… This is your doing, right?" he muttered under his breath.
Suddenly, he heard the crying sound of his men from behind him.
With great horror, he turns around and looks at the corridor.
His men continuously shot their guns, but it seems that the person is not dying. Then he saw blood splattering all over the place.
Then he saw one of his men reloading his rifle, but before he could do anything he flew back as his head was hit by a flying knife.
Lin Ting saw that man was nailed to the wall and this made his expression turned pale.
"A Hunter… Damn it!" he cursed.
It seems that this Hunter that was sent to kill him is stronger than those three bodyguards of his.
The corridor is now silent while the two large men beside him have already taken out their guns.
"Lin Ting! Where are you?..." a voice that seems to sound eerie in the hearing of Lin Ting and his men made them quiver in fear.
What kind of person can escape a barrage of gunfire? What kind of powerful being are they going to face right now? Since last year, many things have changed in this world. People with powers and special abilities began to appear. Although there only a small number of them, yet their strength are something that no one can underestimate.
The footsteps in the corridor made the heartbeat of the three men pumps rapidly. Each of them is breaking out with buckets of sweat while looking at the corridor.
Ting!
The sound of the elevator reaching the floor almost made the three jump in fright.
"Quickly get inside!" shouted Lin Ting as he forces his way in.
The two men drag him in and immediately pressed a button. But one of them stayed on the floor.
"Boss, I'll stop him… You go!" the man said with a strong determination.
However, before that man could turn around, a sharp knife suddenly appears out of his mouth.
The two inside the elevator were shocked. The other big guy lifted his gun, but then his hand was suddenly grabbed and crushed.
Argghhh!!!
The man cried in pain.
Then a sharp knife was suddenly embedded in his jaw hitting his brain in the process.
Lin Ting on the side is now shaking in fear. He did not expect that he would experience such a thing in his life. He has lived leisurely and without troubles. He commanded the Serpent Gangs and has employed a number of Hunters. But of course, he is just a manager, not the real boss. But his life is already good.
As the son of the former vice leader of the Hallowed Leaf Syndicate, he is feared by his thugs.
But it seems that everything would end today.
The reason why he is currently shaking in fear right now is when his eyes met the person who is coming for his life.
He had seen that face before. He had seen those eyes.
He saw how this person killed Feng the Viper, and the video of their fight. He has sent many Hunters to get him. But it seems that those people have failed.
And now, he knew that this guy is going for his life.
"Xin… Xin Wei… You… how?" he said with a trembling voice.
Though he is a tyrant, in the face of his own death, Lin Ting is truly afraid. He did not want to die; he did not want to end his leisurely life. He is still too young.
"Xin Wei… We can…" he wanted to say something but his mouth was blocked by Xin Wei's hand.
Then Xin Wei grabbed his neck and lifted him up. The elevator suddenly sounded and the elevator doors opened suddenly.
The armed men outside waiting for the elevator to open up have already pointed their guns towards it.
They saw a body lying on the ground but no one is inside the elevator.
They quickly checked the elevator and saw that the small opening at the roof of the elevator is open.
"They are on the second floor!" shouted the guy who checked the elevator.
The rest of the men suddenly run towards the stairs. While everyone is rushing towards the stairs, the man inside the elevator suddenly felt his consciousness fading.
This is because a knife is already embedded at the back of his skull.
Xin Wei suddenly appears behind him.
Then rapid gunshot began to echo in the lobby.
After about 20 minutes of the gunfight, the lobby turned silent.
Right at this moment, a single figure could be seen standing in the middle of the lobby filled with dead bodies everywhere.
On his hand is the unconscious Lin Ting.
Meanwhile, outside the Dancing Swan Club, the sound of the police sirens are echoing in the air as many police cars arrive at the location.
The police that are under the control of the syndicates have already pointed their guns at the person inside the lobby.
It did not take long before a group of reporters has arrived within the vicinity of the club.
Then their camera began rolling and it immediately focuses on the figure standing in the middle of the lobby. Then on his hand is Lin Ting who is slowly regaining his consciousness.
Everyone is shocked and did not know what to do next.
They are all awaiting orders from above.
Xin Wei at this time lifted his head to face the cameras pointed at him. His face is filled with hatred and anger as he slowly lifted Lin Ting in front of him.
He then said in a loud voice that echoed through the area…
"Yu Mantao, Su Binghei, Ye Benlai, Da Bao, An Hua, Lee Jing Jing, Jin Lin Mae, Long Tao, and Yu Bai… You guys will be next…"
