Chapter 1018 It really was Shi Menglu
"Okay, I'll be right there!"
A woman's sinister laughter came from the phone.
The voice sent chills down one's spine, making one's hair stand on end.
Three minutes later, with the sound of high heels tapping on the ground, Shi Menglu rushed in from outside.
She was wearing a crumpled long dress, her hair disheveled, her face bare of makeup, her beautiful eyes sunken, with dark circles under them, looking in a very poor mental state...
Clearly, this woman had been living through hell for the past two days, suffering immensely.
Seeing this woman, Chen Xuan's gaze also sharpened.
Shi Menglu!
It was indeed this woman causing trouble!
At this moment, everything was confirmed.
He subtly glanced outside the window, gave a signal, and Lone Wolf, who was aiming a Barrett from the rooftop of the opposite building, nodded slightly. Having experienced significant events, he showed no trace of nervousness.
"Where is the person?"
As soon as she rushed in, Shi Menglu shouted irrationally. Her face, gaunt and revealing her cheekbones, looked extremely ferocious, like a skull.
"Isn't that..."
Huo Qinghu pointed at Chen Xuan.
Shi Menglu followed her gaze, and upon seeing Chen Xuan with steel needles all over his arms, she exclaimed excitedly, "Good job, Chen Xuan! Aren't you always arrogant? I never thought you'd end up like this!"
"Shi Menglu, so you were behind all this? You are truly despicable and shameless." Chen Xuan pretended to have just learned the truth and shouted at Shi Menglu.
Seeing Chen Xuan's furious expression, Shi Menglu seemed very excited, her face full of pleasure.
"Who told you to be so stupid?"
Shi Menglu cast a disdainful glance at Chen Xuan and said fiercely, "Let me tell you, it's because you killed Su Ning, the one I loved the most! Do you know what Su Ning meant to me? Su Ning was my world! He was the one I loved the most!"
"Do you know that Su Ning and I were engaged when we were very young? I always wanted to marry Su Ning, but you ruined it all!"
"You killed the person I loved the most, and you will pay the price!"
Looking at the hoarse and desperate Shi Menglu, Chen Xuan sneered:
"You didn't like Su Ning. No, you never loved Su Ning. You were just coveting power, trying to soar to the heavens and become a phoenix. If Su Ning were just an ordinary commoner, would you have done this?"
"I..."
As if her inner thoughts were exposed by Chen Xuan's words, Shi Menglu's face turned very ugly.
Chen Xuan continued, "No, you wouldn't. You would only be a little sad and disappointed, like losing a toy or a pretty hair tie, but the next day, you would forget about it!"
"In the end, you are not avenging Su Ning, nor do you love Su Ning. You are only avenging yourself. You are truly a hypocritical woman!"
What Chen Xuan said was true. Shi Menglu hadn't spent much time with Su Ning, so how could she have fallen in love?
Love at first sight?
Heh, go to hell!
"Shut your mouth, you damn woman! If you don't shut up, I'll chop off your head right now, and then I'll have Huo Wuzun wipe out the entire Su family in the provincial capital!"
Shi Menglu, her last shred of dignity stripped away, shouted furiously at Chen Xuan.
However, Chen Xuan continued, "Even if you chop off my head, it won't change the fact that you are a hypocritical woman..."
"You're dead today!"
Shi Menglu was so angry that she was spitting fire. She turned to Huo Qinghu and said, "Kill him! Kill him for me!"
Huo Qinghu had long wanted to eliminate the dangerous Chen Xuan. Upon hearing this, she quickly stepped forward with a dagger, but at this moment, Shi Menglu stopped her, "I'll kill him myself!"
"But..."
Huo Qinghu hesitated for a moment, but then handed the dagger to Shi Menglu.
Holding the dagger, Shi Menglu approached Chen Xuan step by step, her expression ferocious. "Chen Xuan, I won't let you die so quickly. I will carve off your flesh bit by bit, letting you bleed out before you die..."
Her chilling voice made even Huo Qinghu frown.
A pervert...
On the contrary, Chen Xuan looked nonchalant.
Chen Xuan's expression made Huo Qinghu frown even deeper.
Could this guy have some hidden trump card?
"Are you scared..."
Shi Menglu looked at Chen Xuan and said mockingly, "If you kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, I'll give you a quick death."
She wanted to humiliate Chen Xuan severely. Killing Chen Xuan now wouldn't quell her anger.
"Do you really think you can kill me?"
Chen Xuan chuckled softly.
Upon hearing this, Huo Qinghu became nervous, her eyes fixed on Chen Xuan. Did this guy have another move?
But when she saw the steel needles on Chen Xuan's arms, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
How could there be a way out in this situation?
"Putting on a brave front! You're dead today!"
Shi Menglu held the dagger and slashed towards Chen Xuan's face.
Clang!
The next moment, suddenly with a "whoosh," something flew past and knocked Shi Menglu's dagger away.
The force was so great that it even bent the dagger.
Everyone froze for a moment, and then Huo Qinghu's expression changed drastically as she shouted, "No good, there's a sniper outside... Hurry, hurry, hurry..."
Shi Menglu abandoned everything else and quickly hid behind Chen Xuan with Huo Qinghu, trying to avoid the sniper's sight.
The surroundings were deathly silent, so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.
But after a long time, no more bullets were fired. Huo Qinghu and Shi Menglu breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Shi Menglu glanced at Chen Xuan, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes, "So what if you arranged for someone? With you as a human shield, they wouldn't dare do anything to me. You will still die!"
"Are you sure?"
Suddenly, Chen Xuan's cold laughter echoed.
Huo Qinghu suddenly saw a strange expression on Chen Xuan's face and her expression changed drastically, shouting, "Quick, get away from him."
With that, she retreated frantically.
Shi Menglu was still confused, but the next moment, she was dumbfounded.
As expected, the steel needles stuck in Chen Xuan's arms shot out, piercing the wall fiercely. wΑp.kanshu伍.net
He moved his arms and chuckled, "The 'Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles' are quite powerful, making it difficult for me to break free!"
Chen Xuan wasn't entirely faking it earlier. The "Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles" had indeed injured him, rendering his arms immobile. However, he had managed to suppress the poison to other parts of his body using his powerful spiritual energy.
His words of praise, however, felt like immense mockery.
Especially to Huo Qinghu, it was simply unbelievable.
He could break free from the "Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles" like this?
"Huo Wuzun, didn't you say you had subdued him? What's going on?"
Shi Menglu looked at Huo Qinghu with a hint of complaint.
Huo Qinghu had no time to explain. The moment she realized what was happening, the keen-sensed Huo Qinghu turned and ran, attempting to escape.
Perhaps it was due to extreme nervousness, but Huo Qinghu forgot that a dark Barrett was still firmly aimed at her outside.
Or perhaps, Huo Qinghu felt that Chen Xuan was more dangerous than the Barrett outside.
As expected, when Huo Qinghu's figure appeared in the scope, a low gunshot echoed from outside!
Pfft...!
