Chapter 796 Lone Wolf!
"Is it Fang Shuo?"
Chen Xuan frowned. Fang Shuo hated him the most right now.
"Exactly! According to the information I received, Fang Shuo has hired the internationally renowned killer Lone Wolf to kill you!"
"Heh, it seems Fang Shuo is indeed vengeful. I understand."
Chen Xuan nodded indifferently.
As for who was coming to kill him, he didn't even bother to care.
Hearing Chen Xuan's casual tone, Yang Chaotian said nervously, "Mr. Chen, to be honest, that Lone Wolf is no simple character."
"What's his background?"
Chen Xuan frowned.
He had never heard of a killer named Lone Wolf in the international arena.
However, it was understandable, as there were very few killers that Chen Xuan would take seriously.
Yang Chaotian introduced, "To be honest, Mr. Chen, Lone Wolf is a renowned killer who has risen to prominence in the past two years. Most killers have their own organizations, but Lone Wolf, as his name suggests, is a lone wolf!"
"He never cooperates with any organization and acts alone. Not only is he a ninth-rank internal force grandmaster, but he also excels at using sniper rifles to kill targets from long distances with perfect accuracy. He appeared out of nowhere two years ago and has completed over thirty missions in two years without a single failure."
"Currently, Lone Wolf is ranked in the top thirty on the world assassin rankings. His strength is immense!"
"Mr. Chen, you must not be careless."
What kind of killer is the most terrifying? It's when you never even get to see their face before they kill you. Lone Wolf is that kind of killer. His targets die without ever meeting him.
What Yang Chaotian said made Chen Xuan think of someone. He was even a little suspicious if it was that person.
Just as he hung up the phone, Chen Xuan's pupils contracted. He felt a killing intent lock onto him.
His gaze sharpened, and he looked out the window.
"Are they here?"
Chen Xuan mused for a moment, stretched, and then slowly walked out of the villa with his hands behind his back, as if he were someone going for a walk after a meal.
"Detected?"
A figure in camouflage lay prone on a distant mountain. He looked to be in his thirties, holding a sniper rifle, and aiming at Chen Xuan.
No, absolutely not!
This was a full fifteen hundred meters away from the target. How could he have been discovered?
Suddenly, he noticed Chen Xuan stop on the small path.
The surrounding area was open, with not a single bit of cover!
A perfect opportunity!
Opportunities don't wait, and they don't come back once lost!
Lone Wolf seized the chance and instantly pulled the trigger.
The Barrett, equipped with a silencer, emitted a muffled "poof" sound. A bullet spun and shot down the mountain.
"Bang!"
The bullet hit Chen Xuan's forehead. With a thud, he fell to the ground.
"Dead?"
Lone Wolf grinned, then revealed a look of satisfaction. "A scumbag like this deserves to die without a burial place!"
Then, Lone Wolf picked up the Barrett, leaped away like a beast, and disappeared from his position. Following that, there was only the sound of rustling leaves, growing further and further away. According to the assassin's code, he needed to decapitate the target as proof.
In the blink of an eye, Lone Wolf appeared before Chen Xuan. The Barrett was slung over his shoulder, and he drew a saber from his waist.
The saber had a peculiar design, unlike ordinary sabers, with an absurdly long blade.
In fact, this was a specialized beheading saber from abroad. It was sharp enough to slice hair and was extremely keen!
He raised the beheading saber and swung it towards Chen Xuan's neck.
Suddenly!
Whoosh—
A sound that pierced the air rang out.
This was immediately followed by a clang of metal striking metal. Lone Wolf's beheading saber was directly knocked out of his hand, flying over ten meters away and embedding itself in the concrete ground. It was undoubtedly sharp!
His hands felt numb!
Lone Wolf's expression changed drastically. He quickly took the Barrett off his shoulder and looked around through the scope with terror. However, there wasn't a single person in sight. His heart was pounding in his chest.
What on earth was going on?
Suddenly, a rustling sound was heard.
Lone Wolf's face turned green.
He slowly lowered his head, his gaze shifting downwards. He saw Chen Xuan, who had been shot in the head by the Barrett, slowly getting up from the ground!
"Holy crap, it's a ghost!"
Even Lone Wolf couldn't help but retreat more than ten steps, looking at Chen Xuan with terror.
Having traveled all over the country, Lone Wolf had encountered many strange phenomena that defied scientific explanation.
Could it be a haunting?
"A ghost? Would a ghost be this handsome?"
Chen Xuan grinned, staring at Lone Wolf with a half-smile.
Lone Wolf instantly understood. This guy wasn't dead at all!
"You weren't headshot? How could you be alive? I'm holding a Barrett, one of the most powerful sniper rifles in the world!"
He questioned Chen Xuan loudly.
He had killed so many people, yet he had never seen someone who had been shot in the forehead by a Barrett survive.
"You're talking about this?"
Chen Xuan spread his hand, and a golden bullet slid from his palm, falling to the ground.
With a crisp sound, it was quite pleasant to hear.
But to Lone Wolf's ears, it sounded extremely jarring and terrifying!
"You..."
Lone Wolf's face was extremely grim.
According to the intelligence provided by Fang Shuo, Chen Xuan had some combat skills and was a scumbag who committed all sorts of evil deeds. But he never expected this guy to be so powerful!
"What do you mean, 'you'?"
Chen Xuan walked towards Lone Wolf.
"Don't come any closer!"
Lone Wolf tightly gripped the Barrett, and beads of cold sweat as large as soybeans trickled down his forehead.
Even when facing an army of tens of thousands, Lone Wolf had never felt a trace of fear. But now, he felt his very soul trembling.
All of this was because of the person in front of him.
He was too dangerous!
If he got close, he would surely die!
This was a killer's intuition and instinct, requiring no proof!
"What if I want to come closer?"
Chen Xuan took a step forward.
Pfft!
He pulled the trigger, and a bullet hit Chen Xuan's leg.
This was a warning to Chen Xuan.
"Do you think a sniper rifle is of any use to me at such close range?" Chen Xuan grinned.
His voice was casual, but it was like a devil's, easily shattering Lone Wolf's confidence.
Chen Xuan was right; at such close range, using a bulky sniper rifle was clearly not a wise choice.
But Lone Wolf had no other choice.
"Don't come closer. If you come closer, I'll shoot right now."
"If you have the guts, shoot!"
Chen Xuan roared.
"Pfft!"
A low gunshot rang out.
The Barrett spat out fire, and a bullet spun wildly towards Chen Xuan, as if distorting space itself.
At such a close range, and aimed at Chen Xuan's forehead, Lone Wolf didn't believe anyone could dodge it.
The reason the Barrett seemed somewhat redundant at such close range was that it couldn't be drawn quickly. But if it was fired and aimed, at such close range, it was unavoidable!
Prepare to die!
However, the next moment!
Lone Wolf was stunned!
Chen Xuan had actually caught the bullet...
God, how was this possible?
Lone Wolf had seen the bullet earlier and thought the guy was skilled and had dodged it, and Chen Xuan was bluffing. But now Chen Xuan had caught the bullet right in front of him.
What kind of strength could catch a Barrett bullet?
In any case, Lone Wolf knew that even the world's number one killer absolutely couldn't do this!
After all, that guy was someone who surpassed the realm of an internal force grandmaster!
