Chapter 22: A Brush with Death



Wang Xuan was speechless. Why did it feel like he had to know a lot to practice the old art? In addition to reading the Taoist scriptures, did he also have to read more history?

Professor Lin added: "Regarding the strength of the pre-Qin alchemists, etc., the final conclusion was reached after being tested by some life research institutes in Nova."

Chaebols, research institutions, etc. have dug up the bodies of a few alchemists from the pre-Qin period in old soil. They have been tested and analyzed, and the conclusions are credible.

"So, don't doubt the brilliance of the old technique. If you want to continue on this path, confidence is very important."

Wang Xuan suddenly became serious and said, "I was obsessed with appearances and fell behind. I originally joined the old technique experimental class because I was interested in it, but later I wanted to keep exploring."

In the field of traditional arts, he has never been superstitious. Initially, he wanted to follow in the footsteps of his predecessors, but ultimately he wanted to verify this path on his own.

Professor Lin was somewhat touched and said, "With the current brilliant technological civilization, those who practice the old arts can always feel boundless and tremendous pressure."

Wang Xuan nodded, but the belief in his heart became stronger. If he reached the end of the road and the old skills had no way forward, then he hoped that he could make a difference!

In the evening, Wang Xuan studied physical skills and comprehended the root method at home. Finally, he went downstairs to the woods outside the community and began to gather energy and nourish his inner self in the moonlight.

He emptied himself, his mind was extremely clear, and the soft and white moonlight filled his soul. At this moment, he was transparent inside and out, and his perception was extremely strong.

Suddenly, Wang Xuan felt his forehead tighten and swell, as if it was pierced by something sharp. He was horrified and frightened. He subconsciously moved his body to the side, moving at high speed completely on instinct.

Chi!

With a slight sound, he felt his temple getting hot, and a terrible airflow brushed past his ears. Some hair broke and there was a burnt smell.

whoosh!

The next moment, Wang Xuan disappeared into the dense woods of the community like an agile cheetah.

This is an old residential area. After decades of growth, the trees planted there have long since grown into towering trees. They are particularly lush and instantly obscure Wang Xuan's figure.

Now Wang Xuan's eyes were as sharp as two swords. He was staring coldly in a certain direction in the forest, and his heart was beating violently.

Just now, he was shot!

Death was only a finger away from him. If he hadn't moved his body to the side in advance, his head would have been pierced and he would have died for sure!

At that moment, he felt the terrible air flow fluctuations caused by the flying bullet. There was a strong wind beside his ears, brushing against his temple, and many strands of hair broke and fell off.

Who is it? To dare to fire a gun in a residential area is simply reckless and beyond the imagination of normal people!

The control of guns in the old land has always been very strict. For ordinary citizens, they never have to worry about being shot for no reason, and the public security has always been good.

But now, Wang Xuan was experiencing a life-and-death crisis personally and encountered such an extremely serious and vicious incident. Someone wanted to kill him without any scruples and ran to a residential area to do it. It was really outrageous!

The opponent's gun was equipped with a silencer, so no one else was alerted. Wang Xuan searched for the enemy in silence.

He did not rush out. He didn't know how many people had come secretly or how many guns they had. He suddenly took off his shirt, shook his hands and threw it out of the woods.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In an instant, he heard three slight sounds, and three bullet holes instantly appeared on his falling shirt. The sniper's strength was amazing, his reaction speed was super fast, and his shooting skills were frighteningly accurate.

Wang Xuan's face was grim. There were at least three powerful gunmen just outside the fence of the community, waiting for the opportunity to shoot him.

He even determined the locations of the three gunmen.

But he did not go out. Instead, he went deep into the woods and hid behind a tree.

Because he didn't know if there were still people who hadn't launched the attack yet, he didn't want to become someone else's target on this moonlit night.

At this moment, the first thing that came to his mind was the Golden Body Technique.

If he could master this physical skill, he would not care whether there were other people in the dark, and would directly fight back and hunt down the enemy under the stars and the moon.

Wang Xuan was very calm and did not act rashly.

He changed to a special phone card, contacted Aoki, and explained the situation briefly and quickly.

"You did the right thing. You don't have any hot weapons in your hands. Find a shelter and hide. Professionals will come to deal with it soon. I will also go over and bring you some equipment."

After Aoki hung up the phone, his face was extremely cold. Even he felt that those people were unscrupulous. This was a big city in the old country, and such a vicious shooting incident actually happened.

If they are exploring in the wild, certain large organizations or chaebols may meet and fight for the treasure, but there is one thing they must abide by: they must never open fire in the city and must not involve ordinary citizens.

Otherwise, the whole society will be in chaos.

This is a tacit understanding and an established rule that all organizations and institutions abide by, and few dare to cause trouble.

Otherwise, the country will educate those organizations and institutions on how to behave. Although the old land has declined, certain bottom lines have always been there.

Wang Xuan climbed up a big tree and thought quietly, who wanted to kill him?

He had just left school when this happened.

He thought of some people and events recently, and went through all the people and forces related to him, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

First, he joined the expedition organization and went to Qingcheng Mountain yesterday. He didn’t know whether he left any clues and attracted the murderous intentions of some people.

The forces involved include the Zhou family, the Ling family, and the Wu family, and the individuals involved include Jin Chuan from the expedition organization.

Wang Xuan also included Wu Yin, whom he met for the first time last night, in his list.

In addition to these people and forces, he traced the time back to the distant past and found that Zhou Yun had had a dispute with him.

Zhou Yun's father, Zhou Mingxuan, is an even more powerful figure.

In addition, going further, Wang Xuan thought of the fact that someone wanted to keep him stuck in his old place and prevent him from going to Xinxing. Although it was not related this time, he still thought about it.

Wang Xuan was filled with murderous intent. He was guessing and deducing which of these people and forces would dare to go so far as to shoot and kill people in a residential area in the city?

Who on earth is so cruel and unscrupulous to kill him? !

If he died, would someone quietly wipe out the traces without alerting the outside world or causing any ripples? The people and forces who took action seemed very confident!
