Just as Tian Qi pulled the trigger, Shen Qingcong's Mind Power and Gong Cen simultaneously sensed the intense murderous intent.
Without a second thought, Gong Cen swept Shen Qingcong into his arms and darted to the side, evading Tian Qi's shot in a blink.
His usually clear and moist eyes were now frosty and cold. He scanned the surroundings like a searchlight, looking for a nearby cover to protect Shen Qingcong from harm.
Unfortunately, this particular corridor was carefully chosen for their attack, precisely because there were no shops on either side and no place to hide.
Tian Qi and three other assassins raised their guns again, steadily pulling the trigger towards Gong Cen.
Despite the silencers on their guns, their firefight got the attention of everyone in the corridor. Screams of panic filled the air. Some fled yelling for others to do the same, some dropped to the ground and covered their heads, while others sprinted like mad to escape from the firefight.
