Before the words were even finished, the gunmen's fingers were already on the triggers, and the air around them seemed to freeze, the tension so intense it was suffocating.
However, at this critical moment, a strong gust of wind suddenly swept in from behind Ren Gang, so fierce that it was almost impossible for him to open his eyes.
A dark shadow, like lightning in the night, ripped through the silence and struck the muzzle of the gun that was about to spew fire.
With a clang, the mournful sound of metal echoed through the sky. The black muzzle of the gun was severed by a sharp blade as if it were rotten wood, and the broken edge gleamed coldly.
The gunmen were terrified and their fingers suddenly pulled the trigger.
"Click-click-click!"
The muffled sound of the submachine gun, like the death knell, struck the hearts of everyone, announcing the end of the gunmen's fate.
An invisible force suddenly swept over them, lifting the astonished gunmen up like falling leaves, then slamming them against the cold wall with a series of thuds, before they finally collapsed helplessly, losing their lives at the same time.
When the dust settled, the burly Western man suddenly realized that a man in black, with a cold and stern face like a sculpture, had quietly appeared beside Ren Gang.
He was terrified and asked in a trembling voice, "You...you are Wu Tian?"
Wu Tian's gaze was profound, as if he could see through all things in the world. His voice was calm and majestic, like the water of an ancient pool: "That's right, I am the person you have put a bounty on."
The burly Western man's throat bobbed, his voice hoarse as he struggled to utter, "You are indeed fearsomely powerful, but... you still made a mistake in the end."
After saying that, he quickly raised the submachine gun in his hand and pointed the muzzle at Wu Tian again.
This scene made everyone's nerves, which had just relaxed, tense up again.
They were secretly amazed. Wu Tian's thunderous attack could have stabilized the situation, but they didn't expect the Western strongman to still have a weapon.
The burly Western man seemed to have regained his composure, a cold smile playing on his lips: "You thought victory was in sight, but you still couldn't escape my grasp. Although all my brothers were killed, I'll keep this bounty for myself, so you can rest in peace!"
"Wait!" Wen Yuan's voice was clear and firm. She rushed forward resolutely and stood in front of Wu Tian. Although her eyes were filled with fear, she forced herself to remain calm: "You... you're only after money. If you let him go, I'm willing to give you more."
Upon hearing this, the burly Western man's eyes flashed instantly. He scrutinized Wen Yuan from head to toe and coldly asked, "Do you think I'm a fool? How much money would it cost to save you?"
Wen Yuan took a deep breath and said reluctantly, "I... although I don't have money, but... my grandfather is rich. His name is Qi Yunfeng. Give me a chance, and I'll call him right away."
"hiss!"
A gasp of amazement rang out, and the students' hearts were filled with a storm of emotions; at that moment, even the air seemed to freeze.
Who is Qi Yunfeng?
The Qi family, one of the four prominent families in Linghai City, has a patriarch whose name is as proud and domineering as an eagle soaring atop the clouds.
At this moment, everyone realized that what separated them from Wen Yuan was not only talent and diligence, but also the lofty Qi Yunfeng.
No wonder cruise ship feasts can be easily attended without reservations, because all of this is Qi Family's business.
A thoughtful frown quietly gathered between Wu Tian's brows.
Although they were classmates for three years and not close, no one expected that Wen Yuan would be Qi Yunfeng's darling daughter.
What chilled him even more was that the Qi family was actually one of the sharp blades under the command of the Dragon Capture Hall, aimed at him.
Today's cruise ship gathering may be brewing unseen undercurrents.
However, he had no doubts about Wen Yuan whatsoever.
Perhaps she truly knew nothing of the family feud, and that pure care and protection was a warmth he had never expected.
She spared no expense to protect him, and he will always remember her kindness.
As for the burly Western man, a sly smile curled at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes flickered as if he were calculating something: "Hearing you say that, I do have a way to have the best of both worlds. I'll kill him first, get the bounty, and then call Qi Yunfeng and have him pay the ransom."
His words revealed his greedy nature.
Upon hearing this, Wen Yuan's face instantly turned pale, and she angrily denounced his despicable behavior.
The burly man, however, smiled even more broadly, seemingly disregarding all morality: "We're in the business of risking our lives, so of course we'll try to earn as much as possible. Thank you for the information."
At this moment, Wu Tian calmly opened his lips, his voice soft yet thunderous: "Your calculations are shrewd, but you are not worthy of them. As a martial artist, you should know that Qu Zidan is nothing to worry about."
His words exuded an overwhelming sense of power, sending chills down one's spine.
Immediately, he gently pushed Wen Yuan and Ren Gang aside, his gaze sharp as he stared directly at the burly Western man, as if he had seen through all his schemes.
At this moment, he was like a war god, facing the gun barrel of the Western strongman without flinching or fear.
Upon hearing this, the burly Western man stared wide-eyed at Wu Tian in disbelief, as if scrutinizing the truthfulness of his words.
Then he shook his head violently and said, "No! That's impossible! How dare you say you're not afraid of bullets? If that were true, why did you try to run away just now?"
Wu Tian's lips curled into a faint yet profound sneer as he parted his thin lips slightly: "I'm not running away, but rather cleaning up your accomplices so that you won't harm the innocent."
Upon hearing this, the burly Western man felt as if he were in a dream world, with incredible melodies echoing in his ears.
As a martial artist, he had naturally heard of the supreme realm of transcending the mortal world and being unafraid of bullets, but that was ultimately just a vague legend, and no one dared to test its authenticity with their own flesh and blood.
However, the current situation forces him to re-examine this legend.
