These people came from Nanyang.
Once Chen Jinzhao knew this, he could no longer let them go.
Meeting the gaze of the man, Chen Jinzhao frowned and said, "Since you are from Nanyang, why are you killing people on our Hua country's territory?"
"None of your business. If you spout more nonsense, I'll kill you too," the man said.
At this moment.
A cold voice suddenly came from inside the tent, "Da Quan, don't waste too much time talking to these ants. Killing one more is still killing."
Judging by the speaker's voice, Chen Jinzhao deduced that the person was likely a middle-aged man, probably the backbone of these Nanyang people.
The man called Da Quan responded, "Sir, I understand."
Then.
Da Quan raised his hand and said to several killers, "Take care of him."
Several killers immediately raised their guns!
Seeing this, the woman who was being held hostage closed her eyes in pain, thinking that she might have harmed Chen Jinzhao. She could only say a silent apology in her heart.
"Wait!"
"I have a few words to say."
Chen Jinzhao suddenly spoke, raising his hands to show he posed no threat.
Several killers looked at Da Quan, unsure whether to act. Da Quan frowned and said, "Speak your mind, spit it out. I'll give you thirty seconds."
The woman also looked at Chen Jinzhao.
She thought that if Chen Jinzhao wanted to beg for mercy, it would likely not succeed.
She knew well how fierce these Nanyang people were. No matter what Chen Jinzhao said, they would kill him in the end.
Chen Jinzhao said, "What I want to say is..."
The words stopped abruptly.
A cold glint flew from Chen Jinzhao's hand, piercing Da Quan's throat in a mere half a second!
Da Quan stared intently at Chen Jinzhao. As he tried to say something, blood continuously flowed from his mouth, making it difficult for him to speak.
In an instant, Da Quan was killed!
Warm blood splattered all over the woman's face. She couldn't even cry out, just stood there foolishly, unmoving.
As for those killers, their minds were still blank, and they hadn't reacted at all.
Chen Jinzhao didn't give them a chance to make a move. He sprinted towards a killer. Just as the killer was about to raise his gun to shoot, Chen Jinzhao punched him in the head. Although the killer's head remained intact, his brain had been turned into mush from the impact.
The killer's body slumped down, and Chen Jinzhao easily got his gun.
Bang, bang, bang!
A series of gunshots rang out, and several killers were killed by Chen Jinzhao.
Only then did the woman react, foolishly staring at Chen Jinzhao, falling into a daze again.
Too fast!
From the moment they started to the moment everyone was killed, only sixteen seconds had passed.
These were several well-trained killers!
Especially Da Quan, who was an elite among killers, was now dead just like that.
Chen Jinzhao said to the woman, "Aren't you coming over quickly? Do you want to be killed by the person in the tent?"
"Ah?"
"Oh!"
The woman reacted and ran to Chen Jinzhao's side.
She quietly observed Chen Jinzhao, as if trying to see through him. Chen Jinzhao had no time to pay attention to her; he was staring at the tent from which the voice had come.
There was movement inside the tent; the person was coming out.
The woman quickly said to Chen Jinzhao, "Oh no, he's coming out! Why don't you run? Their target is me, and I don't want to implicate you."
"Then why did you call for help earlier?" Chen Jinzhao chuckled.
The woman was stunned for a moment and said weakly, "That was a subconscious reaction. Although you killed these killers, the person in the tent is extremely abnormal. You're unlikely to be his opponent."
"Run quickly!"
Chen Jinzhao remained standing.
The woman bit her lip. After a moment, she said, "It's over. You didn't run earlier, and now there's no chance to."
"Sigh..."
As she finished speaking.
A short-haired middle-aged man walked out of the tent.
The middle-aged man first looked at Da Quan's corpse on the ground, then glanced at the corpses of the other killers, and finally fixed his gaze on Chen Jinzhao, saying coldly, "You killed my people?"
Chen Jinzhao was not afraid at all. "Are your eyes blind?"
The middle-aged man's expression faltered. The woman standing beside Chen Jinzhao was also somewhat shocked, thinking that this guy truly showed no respect.
She wondered where his confidence came from.
The middle-aged man took a breath, his eyes twitching, and said in a cold voice, "You killed my people, and you will pay the price. Do you understand?"
"I'll stand right here and wait for you to kill me," Chen Jinzhao said.
"Are you crazy?" the woman suddenly exclaimed.
"Do you know who he is? He is the notorious killer from Nanyang – Rattlesnake. He's ranked seventy-fourth on the world's individual combat list."
Rattlesnake?
Chen Jinzhao thought, Isn't this a coincidence?
Ranked seventy-fourth means Rattlesnake's strength is at most A-class, not even touching the threshold of S-class.
Rattlesnake snorted, "Regretting it now is too late."
"You killed my disciple. I promise I will peel off your flesh piece by piece, making you wish for death while you linger on. Oh, and I will take care of this woman in front of you, making you watch."
The woman's scalp tingled. She thought she had truly angered Rattlesnake this time.
The thought of potentially dying here, and being humiliated before her death, made the woman regret her impulsive decision to come to the far north.
Now she would finally pay the price for her recklessness.
At this moment.
Chen Jinzhao suddenly smiled.
"Don't speak too soon. If I remember correctly, you were previously the chief instructor of the special forces in the Xingzhou Military Department, weren't you?" His words made Rattlesnake's expression change slightly. How could Chen Jinzhao know these things?
Chen Jinzhao continued, "Later, you were dismissed from the Xingzhou Military Department, seemingly because you reached some kind of secret agreement with Mettrie, willingly becoming Mettrie's dog, even betraying Xingzhou's interests, and were thus feared by Xingzhou's high command, correct?"
Rattlesnake's face turned extremely pale.
Only a few people knew about these matters, and even the woman he was chasing didn't know.
When the Xingzhou high command dismissed him, the charge was abuse of public office; they did not reveal the actual situation to the world.
How did the youth in front of him know?
The woman also looked at Rattlesnake. From his expression, she could tell Chen Jinzhao was right.
But...
She also had doubts. How could Chen Jinzhao know these top-secret matters?
Rattlesnake's expression was unpredictable. He stared at Chen Jinzhao and said in a deep voice, "I don't know how you know. Since you already know the inside story, I can't let you live even more."
Chen Jinzhao smiled, "You want to kill me? You're not qualified!"
As soon as their words fell.
Rattlesnake suddenly produced a short blade. It drew a snowy white cold glint in the night, and then he charged rapidly at Chen Jinzhao.
In a mere moment, the tip of the blade was less than thirty centimeters from Chen Jinzhao's eyeball.
"Die!!!"
