Chapter 1746: Killing

He Changsheng knelt on the ground begging for mercy, looking utterly miserable. The surroundings were silent, with only his wails echoing in the night sky.

Just as everyone was wondering if the opponent had withdrawn, there was another muffled bang, and the head of one of He Changsheng's subordinates in front of him instantly exploded.

Seeing this scene, people couldn't help but gasp. It was clear that the opponent had not retreated because of the kneeling for mercy.

"I don't care who you are, but don't go too far. We are from the He Family. If you kill us, the He Family will not let you off…"

Seeing that begging for mercy was not working, one subordinate after another jumped out, hoping to scare the opponent with the He Family's name.

But before he could finish speaking, his entire head exploded with a bang, shattering like a rotten watermelon.

At this point, everyone was dumbfounded. It was clear that the opponent was a ruthless character who was immune to both soft and hard tactics, destined to kill all of them.

"Everyone, we can't just wait here to die. Let's scatter and run! He can't kill us all at once!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, and these people no longer cared about He Changsheng. One by one, they scattered and fled like birds and beasts.

In their opinion, if they escaped separately, some of them would eventually be able to escape alive. No matter how powerful the opponent was, he wouldn't be able to kill all of them.

However, the reality was completely opposite to what they thought. As these people began to flee, one head after another began to explode with a bang.

In just a few tens of seconds, all dozen or so subordinates fell to the ground as headless corpses. The furthest one did not even escape a hundred meters away.

Only then did the onlookers understand that the reason the opponent killed one person at a time with intervals was that he was playing a cat-and-mouse game, not that he was unable to kill all of them at once.

At this moment, only He Changsheng remained in the center of the area, surrounded by utterly miserable corpses.

"My lord, please, just let me go. I will never dare to snatch anything from you again. This is my Storage Ring, everything is inside. I'll give it all to you, as long as you let me go…"

He Changsheng had already determined that the one who attacked was the masked man from the auction. He took off his Storage Ring, held it in his palm, and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Just as everyone was guessing whether that person would stop, there was another muffled bang, and then He Changsheng's body fell to the ground.

The one who attacked was naturally Ye Bufan. He would naturally not do something like cutting the grass without removing the roots.

Evil people like He Changsheng can never be expected to change their nature. Their humility is only temporary, and in the end, it will inevitably bring endless trouble.

Seeing that the He Family's Da Shao was dead, the surrounding crowd was scared to Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

It didn't matter how many other people died, but He Changsheng's death would inevitably ignite the He Family's wrath.

Seeing this, the others no longer dared to stay and instantly fled. On one hand, they were afraid that the person hidden in the dark would kill them to silence them, and on the other hand, they were afraid of attracting trouble from the He Family.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the entire street was empty, with not a single person in sight.

A moment later, a dark figure swiftly approached from a distance, agile and wearing a ghost mask on his face.

Arriving before He Changsheng's corpse, he paused slightly, reached out, and took the Storage Ring into his palm, then instantly vanished into the night sky.

Subsequently, the long street was left with only a dozen or so corpses and a strong smell of blood.

Not long after Ye Bufan left, another figure appeared on the street. It was Fu Haishan, the manager of Jubao Pavilion.

He scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes, then reached into some dirt, picked up a golden bullet, and then turned and returned to Jubao Pavilion.

Inside the room, Luo Yudie put away those items, then brewed herself a pot of tea.

Before she could even drink the tea, there was a rapid knock on the door. Then, the door opened, and Fu Haishan rushed in from outside, his face filled with shock.

"What's wrong?"

Luo Yudie was startled by his reaction. She put down her teacup and asked, "Did something happen to Mr. Ye?"

"No, but it's too bizarre…"

Fu Haishan swallowed with difficulty, trying to calm himself down. Earlier, according to Luo Yudie's instructions, he had rushed over to help Ye Bufan.

When he arrived at the door, he didn't see Ye Bufan, but he saw He Changsheng and the others.

He found a hidden spot to conceal himself, wanting to observe the situation and only intervene if Mr. Ye encountered danger.

It was precisely because of this that he witnessed the entire process of the He Family's annihilation with his own eyes, and his heart was utterly shocked.

He couldn't imagine what kind of expert could possess such powerful ability, capable of killing people invisibly and easily wiping out the He Family's people.

Normally, the cultivation of the people He Changsheng brought was not particularly high. If he were to act, he could also kill all of them, but he definitely couldn't achieve the scene before him.

After he finished speaking, Luo Yudie's expression also became solemn. Her current cultivation had already reached the Early Stage of Nascent Soul Realm, and she could also take someone's head from dozens of meters away.

But to silently smash the opponent's head to pieces without leaving any trace, not only could she not do it herself, but even the strong cultivators in her Family couldn't.

No matter how high their cultivation, strong cultivators always had to mobilize the Origin Qi of heaven and earth when they acted. She couldn't imagine how it could be done silently.

"Are you sure the other party didn't leave any traces?"

"Lord Pavilion Master, absolutely not.

From the moment the first person died, I tried my best to find out who made the move and from which direction, but I found nothing.

The opponent's method was truly too bizarre; there were no Origin Qi fluctuations at all."

Fu Haishan said, "However, Lord Pavilion Master, I did discover something unusual."

After speaking, he held out his hand, and the golden bullet of a sniper rifle appeared in his palm.

"What is this?"

Luo Yudie took the bullet in her hand. It was heavy, made of fine steel, and faintly emanated a bloody smell.

"Pavilion Master, I found this at the scene. There were many scattered on the ground, but I only brought back one."

Fu Haishan said, "According to my analysis, the opponent should have used this type of hidden weapon when he attacked, which is why there were no Origin Qi fluctuations and it didn't attract anyone's attention."

"Using this as a hidden weapon?"

Luo Yudie examined the bullet in her hand, frowning slightly, "The front of this thing is round; it doesn't look like it has any lethality. Why would one choose to use it as a hidden weapon? Aren't flying daggers or darts better?

In other words, using it as a hidden weapon probably wouldn't allow one to kill invisibly."

No matter how intelligent she was, she would never have imagined that there was something called a sniper rifle in this world, nor could she imagine how a bullet could take a life.

Fu Haishan said, "I can't figure that out either."

Luo Yudie put down the bullet in her hand and asked quietly, "Do you think this matter could have been done by Mr. Ye?"

Fu Haishan said, "According to my guess, probably not. Although Mr. Ye appeared later, it was clear that he only went there to retrieve that Storage Ring.

Moreover, with his Golden Core Stage cultivation, he absolutely cannot kill invisibly. If the distance were too close, he wouldn't escape my detection. If it were too far, he simply wouldn't have that ability.

According to my speculation, it's highly likely that his master behind him made the move, and he was only sent to collect the spoils of war."
