The temptation behind gentleness
Chapter 1040 - 1040
Su Fan didn't dare to be careless and quickly led Ye Zhaoyi into a nearby exhibition hall.
The exhibition hall was crowded with tourists.
However, the assassins behind them didn't care at all about the lives of the tourists.
Su Fan continuously gathered True Qi into a thin layer enveloping his body surface.
This was a technique for body protection that could block small-caliber gunfire.
"Clang!"
A handgun bullet indeed hit Su Fan's shoulder, but the bullet was deflected by the protective Qi.
In front of a Martial Artist in the Gang Qi Realm, a handgun is meaningless.
To deal with a Gang Qi Realm Martial Artist, usually Barretts or even anti-material sniper rifles are used.
Su Fan, with Ye Zhaoyi, frantically fled, quickly reaching the back mountain of the wildlife park.
But just then, two assassins suddenly rushed out.
One of them wielded a combat knife, aiming a fierce stab at Su Fan's heart.
The other delivered a sudden push kick to Ye Zhaoyi's abdomen.
Ye Zhaoyi instantly fell, and the person followed with an axe-like chopping kick aimed at her neck.
If the kick landed, Ye Zhaoyi's head would surely be separated from her body.
Facing this lethal sneak attack from a late Gang Qi Realm expert, all Ye Zhaoyi felt was despair.
At this moment, she was paralyzed and unable to dodge.
However, just at the critical moment, Su Fan suddenly lunged onto her.
"Bang!"
The opponent's fierce kick, though mostly offset by the protective Qi,
still caused Su Fan's True Qi to tremble violently, drawing a line of blood at the corner of his mouth.
Su Fan dared not linger, rolling on the ground with Ye Zhaoyi and quickly getting to his feet.
A bullet also chased after the two, flying past them.
In this life-and-death moment, Su Fan was calm like never before.
He carried Ye Zhaoyi, flipped over a railing, and leaped down.
Beneath was a dense sloping forest, concealing them from the sniper's line of sight.
Even the numerous approaching assassins now had no idea where Su Fan and Ye Zhaoyi had gone.
But the two dared not stop and continued to flee through the mountain forest.
During the escape, Ye Zhaoyi received another message.
"Miss, a Martial Arts Grandmaster from the Kawashima family is hunting you down."
"Also, your phone has been tampered with by Linxi's men. They can track your location."
"You'd better toss away your phone and other electronic devices now."
Ye Zhaoyi clearly had her own intelligence network. After seeing the message, she directly threw the phone down a cliff.
Not only that, but her wristwatch and smart bracelet were also thrown away.
After doing all this, she continued to run with Su Fan.
But this time, the alliance between the Kawashima family and Ye Linxi quickly locked down this mountain forest.
As Su Fan and Ye Zhaoyi ran all around the mountain, they saw numerous drones in the air, along with two helicopters, searching for their location.
Seeing this scene, Ye Zhaoyi felt utterly hopeless.
Faced with such a net from heaven and earth, she and Su Fan had no chance of escaping.
If the drones or helicopters discovered their location, the Martial Arts Grandmaster from the Kawashima family would quickly appear before them.
Although Ye Zhaoyi didn't want to die, at this moment, she could only say to Su Fan, "Dr. Su, you should run alone."
"They are after me; it has nothing to do with you."
What she said was indeed true.
Even though the Kawashima family had grudges with Su Fan as well,
this time, the target was not Su Fan, but Ye Zhaoyi.
After Ye Zhaoyi spoke, Su Fan shook his head: "There's a cave up ahead, let's hide in it."
With that, he quickly picked up Ye Zhaoyi and headed towards the cave.
