King of Assassins

This thug wasn’t just trying to scare Gao Xuan; as he spoke, he already extended two fingers towards Gao Xuan’s eyes, looking like he really intended to gouge them out.

The thug’s arm was a mechanical metal arm, possibly meant to intimidate the enemy or to save money. It wasn’t even covered with bionic skin, leaving the metal structure fully exposed.

The two mechanical fingers had three joints each, appearing both flexible and extremely hard.

Half of the thug’s face was tattooed in black and blue, looking colorful as if a group of Evil Ghosts had been tattooed on. His other half was a bit pale as he grinned menacingly at Gao Xuan.

Gao Xuan was rather speechless at the approach of the Flying Knife Association; a small fry came to report, and as soon as they arrived, they tried to impose. This method was too crude.

However, such an approach saved the useless formalities and nonsense.

As the two mechanical fingers descended, Gao Xuan tilted his head and took a step forward.

The thug didn’t expect Gao Xuan to dare resist; he realized something was wrong, but it was a bit too late.

Gao Xuan’s actions were too fast. He reached out and pulled out the gun holstered at the thug’s waist. He swiftly released the safety while brushing it against the thug’s chest to open the chamber.

With rich experience, the thug didn’t retreat in panic. Instead, he tried to embrace Gao Xuan with both arms.

Gao Xuan pressed the gun against the thug’s chin and fired.

With a bang, the gunpowder-propelled bullet penetrated the man’s chin, blasting a hole through the back of his head. Blood spurted out fiercely.

Due to the bullet’s powerful kinetic impact, the man’s eyes also burst open, and he died on the spot.

Gao Xuan resolved the thug with one shot, then aimed the second shot at Su Fei.

Su Fei reacted extraordinarily fast. As soon as the gun barrel pointed at him, he had already flipped under the office desk.

Gao Xuan ignored Su Fei; he turned the gun barrel and blew out the head of the thug who led him here.

When Gao Xuan was about to shoot another thug, the thug had already drawn a gun and was shooting at Gao Xuan.

This thug was evidently a quick shooter; his handgun bullets poured out madly, but most were hitting the body of the already killed thug.

The distance was nearly ten meters, and the handgun bullets couldn’t penetrate a human body. Gao Xuan was completely hidden behind the thug, leaving no shooting angle for the opponent.

As the gunman was frantically firing, Gao Xuan shot from under the thug’s armpit, precisely blowing the opponent’s head off.

Such a shootout was extremely dangerous. The opponent never imagined that Gao Xuan could shoot so accurately without even revealing his head.

In just five seconds, all three thugs in the room were shot dead by Gao Xuan. Only Su Fei was left hiding behind the office desk.

In the office, an eerie silence fell.

Gao Xuan pushed away the dead body blocking him and walked forward without hesitation.

The gunshot sounds were very loud; people outside should have been alarmed. If a group of thugs rushed in, the situation would spiral out of control.

If Su Fei were to escape, things would become even more troublesome.

Hiding behind the desk, Su Fei suddenly stood up, a transparent protective shield in his hand as well.

The shield was a foot and a half wide and about three feet long. Su Fei held the transparent shield in one hand and a ten-centimeter-long flying knife in the other, his face full of doubt and anxiety.

"Who are you? Who sent you? I’m with the Celestial Net Company!"

Su Fei was very anxious. His two thugs were Level 3 Modified People. One was particularly skilled in close combat, the other a quick shooter.

Under normal circumstances, these two experts would be stationed separately. Only after falling out with the Iron Bear Gang did he gather the experts around to prepare for any contingencies.

Yet, Gao Xuan swiftly took down the two Level 3 Modified People within three seconds. Such skills weren’t typical of street gang members in the slums. It was more like a professional killer nurtured by a big company.

Su Fei wasn’t really afraid of Gao Xuan; he was more concerned about the background behind Gao Xuan.

If Gao Xuan was indeed an assassin sent by a major company, then his fate was sealed.

Therefore, although Su Fei was both stunned and furious, he didn’t dare to act recklessly. He still wanted to clarify things first.

Gao Xuan said calmly, "No one can save you. Accept your fate."

As he said this, he fired several shots in succession, the bullets hitting the transparent protective shield, leaving small dents but failing to penetrate the shield.

Su Fei’s face darkened with determination. Since the opponent didn’t want to talk, he could only fight back.

With a flick of his fingers, the flying knife in his hand whirled outward.

At this distance, the flying knife, launched by a special electromagnetic method, was faster than a handgun bullet and approached with more bizarre angles.

The spinning flying knife drew an arc of flashing white light, rapidly slicing towards Gao Xuan’s neck.

With the speed and power of the flying knife, it could completely sever a human neck, even cutting through alloy bones.

Bang bang—two shots, and the flashing arc of white light suddenly burst open.

Su Fei’s eyes widened; it was his first time witnessing someone shoot down his flying knife.

The speed of the flying knife was faster than a bullet, and its trajectory was extremely peculiar.

Only by precisely calculating the flying knife’s path and speed could someone shoot it down.

From this act alone, Su Fei could tell that the opponent was overwhelmingly powerful, and if the fight continued, he would die.

Su Fei, having reached his position, was not an easy target. Without hesitation, he retreated swiftly with the shield in hand.

As long as he could delay a few seconds, waiting for his subordinates to arrive, even if he couldn’t kill the opponent, they could cover his escape.

At the same time, Su Fei continuously launched flying knives. Arcs of flashing white light spun rapidly towards Gao Xuan.

Su Fei was about to dash out the door when Gao Xuan was blocked by the flying knives, and the electric gaze in his deep blue eyes suddenly intensified.

A bolt of electricity formed out of thin air, striking Su Fei fiercely. Although Su Fei was a Level 4 Modified Person, he was still paralyzed by the electric shock.

Taking the opportunity, Gao Xuan lunged at Su Fei, easily pushing aside the shield in Su Fei’s hand. His right hand held the gun, pointed straight at Su Fei’s forehead.

Su Fei’s eyes were filled with terror. The ability to channel Extraordinary Power from a distance was clearly that of a top-level Extraordinary Powerhouse.

Who on earth sent such an expert to kill him?

By this time, the door had already been slammed open, and a group of Flying Knife Association thugs rushed in.

The thugs all saw Gao Xuan pointing a gun at Su Fei, and they were all taken aback.

Before they could react, Gao Xuan had already fired.

Under the eyes of the thugs, Su Fei’s head suddenly exploded into a spray of blood mist!

All the thugs seemed to be hit by a pause button, freezing in place.
