Chapter 558 Bullet
The blood lion's body was shaking violently and madly. Shen Weiyang was thrown off its back, and Leng Huaijin's hands were numbed by the tightly grasped long sword and loosened, and the whole person was forced to be thrown out from under the blood lion's belly.
When he saw Shen Weiyang falling from a high altitude, he didn't know where he suddenly got the strength and speed from when he was at the end of his strength. He quickly staggered to his feet and caught her, and then the two of them were thrown back by the huge impact force.
He cushioned himself beneath her, shielding her from the stinging friction of the stone floor. When they were about to collide with the wall of the arena, he quickly embraced her and turned over, using himself as a cushion behind her. At the same moment Shen Weiyang turned over, he also raised his pistol and aimed at the blood lion's red eyes.
With a "bang", the blood lion fell to the ground and lost consciousness.
Leng Huaijin also let out a painful groan because of the huge pain after hitting the wall.
Shen Weiyang looked at the blood-covered face in front of her, tears falling uncontrollably.
After he regained some mobility, she immediately stood up to check his wounds. She found that many of his bones were broken. Her fingers were shaking so much that she couldn't even hold the piece of cloth while checking the wounds.
It was Leng Huaijin who held her hand and looked at her with a pale smile: "We have already won, why are you crying?"
He wanted to raise his arm to wipe her tears, but he felt weak and could no longer feel his arm.
Shen Weiyang tightly grasped his hand that he couldn't raise, and also showed a pale smile: "Yes, we won, there is nothing to cry about."
"Ajin, you have to hold on. You still owe me your whole life. You said you would spend your whole life making it up to me. Do you remember?"
The more distracted Leng Huaijin's eyes became, the more anxious her tone became. She held his hand tightly, but she could not stop the slipping away of his life. Until the very end, she fainted beside him from exhaustion, holding his hand tightly before she passed out.
Jiang Nianwan took a lot of effort to pry her hands away, then Lu Yunchen carried her on his back, and Leng Ye carried Leng Huaijin on his back as they left the arena and sent them to the emergency room.
Nie Jiang, who had come to watch the excitement, walked up to the blood lion that had stopped breathing and, with interest, kicked its blood-stained claws with his exquisitely crafted leather shoes. He sighed, "This claw is over two meters long. Leng Huaijin survived one claw. It's a miracle."
Xiao Yan looked at him with a bad expression and said, "Are you so free?"
"How can this be called idleness?" He climbed onto the blood lion and pointed at a bullet hole in the back of its neck. "I thought I was distracted, but it turns out someone did help with a sniper rifle and shot me again."
What he said was that when Shen Weiyang fired the last shot just now, someone fired at the same time to cooperate, which was why the blood lion was knocked down. Otherwise, Shen Weiyang's pistol alone would not be able to kill a blood lion with such thick skin.
This type of bullet is specially made and has a very high speed. Ordinary people who are not familiar with the situation will not even notice that there is another bullet coming from somewhere else.
Xiao Yan naturally knew about it, but since it had nothing to do with him, he didn't care at all.
Nie Jiang wandered around the Colosseum doing something unknown and did not leave until the royal guards came to deal with the scene.
"Have you heard that many high-ranking officials in Country Y have died recently?"
On the way out of the Colosseum, Nie Jiang asked Xiao Yan in a casual manner.
Xiao Yan remained noncommittal: "What do you think, Mr. President?"
Nie Jiang was amused by his sarcastic expression. "Ayan, I'm just the president. Do you really have to be so distant with me? During those two years at the military academy, you, Ajin, and I were best friends."
Xiao Yan smiled insincerely and said nothing.
Whether it was him and Nie Jiang or him and Leng Huaijin, their relationship was between enemies and friends. It was common for them to cooperate one second and kill each other the next. Therefore, the so-called friendship in the secular world was not suitable for them.
Nie Jiang gave a self-deprecating laugh, touched his nose, and then abruptly changed the subject: "Actually, everyone knows who the murderer is."
"Those corrupt officials wanted to protect Ye Xiuli and I heard they were planning a prison break. If it weren't for that hero who enforced justice, Ye Xiuli might be at large now and never be caught."
"So I think whoever is most worried about Ye Xiuli running away is the most likely to take action."
Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows: "So, so what do you want to say."
Nie Jiang touched his chin and sighed abruptly, "I only knew that Mingzhu from Country A was incredibly beautiful, but I didn't expect her to be so skilled. I just saw how well she and Ajin worked together. I was so envious. How could Ajin be so lucky?"
"Whether it's good or not, he earned it himself."
Xiao Yan felt that Nie Jiang was hinting at something. If it was in the past, it would have been fine, but now he had Mu Yunxiang as his soft spot, and he didn't want to do anything that she couldn't accept.
So he pretended to be confused and wanted to end the conversation with Nie Jiang as soon as possible.
"Mr. President, I have something else to do, so I'll be leaving first. If you're bored, why don't you go see your good friend, Mr. Ye, and ask him to tell you if he's betrayed you."
Before leaving, he warned him.
However, Nie Jiang was not afraid of his warning and followed him directly to the point: "Xiao Yan, the Leng family is so wealthy and powerful, and has been the only dominant family among the ten major families for so long. Aren't you jealous at all?"
Xiao Yan ignored him and planned to get in the car and go to the hospital.
Nie Jiang pressed the car door without giving up, looked at him and continued, "I'm sure that with so many high-ranking officials getting into trouble these past few days, it must have been Shen Weiyang who did it. But she made a mistake. When she fired the gun at the Colosseum just now, she must have used her own pistol. Do you think the bullet in that blood lion is the same type as the bullets in the high-ranking officials she sniped?"
Nie Jiang came prepared as expected.
Xiao Yan looked at him without any emotion and asked, "So? What do you want to say?"
Nie Jiang: "Xiao Yan, the ten great families are now scattered and each is living their own lives. Some families have even declined and are being suppressed by the upstarts. We need to change."
"So, Your Excellency the President, you plan to merge and reform them one by one. You are now the president of a country. Isn't such a big stage enough for you to perform?" Xiao Yan looked at him mockingly.
In fact, the so-called top ten families are just a general term for some powerful families in the past. Hundreds of years have passed and times have changed. Instead of caring about this useless reputation, it is better to take care of things in your own territory.
"Nie Jiang, I'm not interested in your affairs, so don't be too confident."
