Online Game: Evil Dragon Against The Heaven - 272

“Y-You… don’t come any closer! If you move any closer, I’ll shoot!” The man in sunglasses was trembling so violently that he could barely hold onto his gun. His forehead was drenched with cold sweat as he uttered a line that had been repeated countless times in situations like this.

“Oh…poor child. If he had obediently run away, soft-hearted Second Brother would have let him go… But this poor child, whose brain is filled with who-knows-what, actually pointed a gun at Second Brother…He pointed a gun at Second Brother. His life is already on a countdown.” Murong Qiu Shui pursed his lips and murmured in a voice only Zuo Po Jun could hear. He recalled the first time he had pointed a gun at Ye Tian Xie and the consequences that followed—his wrist had been forcefully snapped back then. At that thought, he couldn’t help but shiver, as a phantom pain tingled from his old injury.

Ye Tian Xie’s eyes darkened and he took a step forward.

The man in sunglasses stumbled back in panic and the image of Huang Quan being thrown like a ragdoll replayed in his mind, making his hand holding the gun tremble even more. Anyone who imagined themselves in that scenario would be scared out of their wits. He spoke in a trembling voice, “M-My dad is the leader of the Black Blade Gang (Hei Dao Bang)! If you dare hurt me, my dad won’t let you off…” He tried to stay calm and pleaded in a near-begging tone, “B-Brother, we’re meeting for the first time, right? We’ve got no grudges against each other, and we’re not even that close with Huang Quan…How about we make friends? If you ever need anything in the future, just say the word.”

Even though he was holding a gun, he felt no sense of control over the situation. Instead, his entire body was trembling. He had never encountered someone with such a terrifying gaze and aura… And witnessing Huang Quan’s fate—was that even a power a human could possess?

“One: Die. Two: Become a vegetable. Your choice.” Ye Tian Xie spoke expressionlessly. He had no personal grudges with these people but their actions had filled him with killing intent. And the reason they had to die… was because they had seen what they shouldn’t have seen.

“Then go to hell!!” The man in sunglasses suddenly turned vicious, pulling the trigger without hesitation.

Bang!!

The sound of the gunshot echoed—but it was louder than expected because it was not just one shot, but two overlapping gunshots accompanied by a louder, ear-splitting collision.

The man in sunglasses dropped his gun weakly, his pupils dilating and contracting uncontrollably. The three men behind him also widened their eyes in horror, their bodies trembling as if they had witnessed the most unimaginable event.

Ding!

Ding!

To their left, two distorted bullets fell from the stone wall onto the rough marble floor, producing two soul-shaking clinks.

The bullets had not hit Ye Tian Xie. He stood there, completely unscathed.

Murong Qiu Shui raised his right hand gracefully and blew on the gun barrel. Somehow, a small, palm-sized gun with a pure silver metallic sheen had appeared in his hand. The gun was so small that it could be fully concealed in his palm.

When the two bullets were nailed to the wall, everyone instantly realized what had just happened… Cold sweat seeped from every pore in their bodies, chilling them to the bone.

The bullet fired by the man in sunglasses had been intercepted mid-flight by another bullet…And even more terrifyingly, the intercepted bullet had not been deflected or knocked off course. Instead, it was carried along and embedded in the wall.

Hitting a bullet mid-flight—especially one that had just been fired—required inhuman levels of eyesight, judgment, and marksmanship. Such abilities should not exist in humans. They belonged in myths or the realm of fantasy.

The collision of the bullets, where one bullet did not veer off but was instead carried by the other bullet to the same destination was an event with an almost negligible probability of occurrence. From a physics standpoint, achieving such a feat would require precisely calculating the speed, direction, and angle of both bullets to determine the exact collision point. Even the slightest deviation would make it impossible for the bullets to collide perfectly.

A face of otherworldly beauty, with an expression so lazy that it seemed he couldn’t even be bothered to open his eyes… But in the eyes of those men, that face now appeared as the face of the most terrifying devil.

His expression and actions told them that the bullet interception they had just witnessed was not an illusion, nor was it luck—

Was this man human or a monster!?

Glancing at Ran Chenxin, whose body was still protectively shielding her sister with shock and disbelief in her eyes, Ye Tian Xie turned slightly and said, “Qiu Shui, I’ll leave the rest to you.”

“Bingo!” Murong Qiu Shui snapped his fingers, involuntarily licking his lips, his face breaking into a dazzling smile that rivaled a field of blooming flowers. He flipped his hair and lazily said to the four men who were already scared stiff and on the verge of collapsing, “Children, you may leave now.”

The four men were still trembling, frozen in place… The terrifying man earlier had said he would kill them, and now he was letting them go… They even wondered if their ears were playing tricks on them.

The ridiculously small silver handgun pointed at them as Murong Qiu Shui squinted one eye and took an aim, speaking in a bored tone, “I’ll give you five seconds… Run, run as fast as you can… Escape from this hell that is calling you.”

The four men woke up as if from a nightmare, shrieking in terror as they scrambled and stumbled to escape in the direction they had come. Faced with the true terror of death, almost everyone’s survival instincts kicked in, driving them to use every ounce of their strength to escape.

Five seconds passed. Murong Qiu Shui turned his back to the four who had fled into the distance. He closed his eyes and elegantly whispered, “Go to hell!”

Bang bang bang bang!

Four gunshots rang out in rapid succession, almost merging into one. The four men who had run far away suddenly jerked, blood spurting from their necks. Their bodies, still in the act of fleeing, simultaneously collapsed to the ground.

Can a handgun fire four bullets in one second like a machine gun? Just the process of pulling and resetting the trigger takes a certain amount of time. To fire four consecutive shots in one second—how difficult was that? Moreover, it was done while facing away from four moving, scattered targets, and all four bullets hit their mark with deadly precision.

When it came to firearms, he was a genius who could only be described as a『monster.』His eyesight, judgment, precision… and the intuition he had developed over a long period had long surpassed the limits of 『human.』

Among humans, those with innate or acquired supernatural abilities were as rare as phoenix feathers. And those who possessed two abilities? In the entire world, there were fewer than thirty.

Murong Qiu Shui was one of them. Moreover, one of his abilities was the most terrifying type of mental power—his psychic ability did not manifest as mental attacks but rather as a power called《Instant Sense》 (Shùn Gǎn). He applied this ability to firearms, giving birth to the terrifying Murong Qiu Shui of today.

Ye Tian Xie had left the four men to him for a reason. It was obvious he didn’t want Ran Chenxin and Ran Chenxue to witness their deaths near the house. While Murong Qiu Shui was taking care of them, Ye Tian Xie didn’t even glance back. He walked into Chenxin’s small house… His priority now was figuring out how to settle them down. At the very least, they couldn’t stay in this small, dilapidated house that could collapse at any moment.

£Hey, don’t you love watching blood splatter? Why did you turn away? Trying to act cool?” Zuo Po Jun whispered disdainfully in Murong Qiu Shui’s ear.

“Their blood is too dirty. It would taint my pure eyes.” Murong Qiu Shui casually flicked his fingers, making the tiny handgun disappear from his hand, its whereabouts unknown.

“Tch!” Zuo Po Jun snorted, then stood guard outside with Murong Qiu Shui. On their way here, Ye Tian Xie had explained why they had to rush over. As expected, everything Liu Qi Yue had predicted was unfolding… And that Ran Chenxin—her father was actually…

They couldn’t help but sigh at how fate worked in such mysterious ways. Ye Tian Xie had merely lent a hand without much thought, but that hand ended up helping the person he was most destined to help. Cause and effect—at this moment, they truly understood the meaning of those words.

A kind act performed more than ten years ago was finally being repaid today. And with Ye Tian Xie’s personality, he would go to any lengths to repay a life-saving grace. Hence, for these men who had not succeeded but were still guilty, he showed no mercy, ending their lives without hesitation. If killing them would quell his fury, he wouldn’t hesitate for a moment.

“Brother Tian Xie, they…” Ran Chenxin’s face was pale, clearly shaken by the horrific events. A girl who couldn’t even bear to kill a cockroach—how could she remain calm in the face of such bloodshed and death happening right before her eyes?

“Mm, they’re all dead.” Ye Tian Xie replied with a gentle smile.

“But… they… won’t this…”

“Are you worried that this will cause me trouble?”

Ran Chenxin nodded lightly, her worried eyes fixed on him… Her vision was hazy, and so was the figure before her. He had appeared so suddenly, then swiftly dealt with the people who had brought her despair… She still hadn’t awakened from what felt like a dream.

“Don’t worry. They don’t even have the qualifications to bring me trouble.”He paused, then said, “Chenxin, your heart is too soft… Maybe you think they didn’t deserve to die, that it was too cruel…But Chenxin, think carefully. If I hadn’t come today, what would have happened to you and your sister in their hands?”

“I…” Thinking of the horrifying outcome that had almost become reality, her face turned deathly pale, and she clenched her hands tightly.

“Killing one person and ruining a life—the latter is an unforgivable sin. What they intended to do… They’ve done it many times before. The world is less filthy without them.” Ye Tian Xie spoke softly, soothing the turmoil in her heart. Then, his gaze shifted to the weak girl who had been watching him the whole time. His face softened, showing the gentlest smile he could muster. “You’re Chenxue, right?”
