16: Dodge bullets on site

After the indulgence...

Black Snake prepared to tidy up and return to his small room to immerse himself in beauty.

Just a few days ago, his subordinate 'Brother Hui' had actually provoked Lin Feng.

One must know that Lin Feng was the King of Soldiers nicknamed 'Wolf Head,' and the incident had resulted in Black Snake getting beaten up as well.

But it was a blessing in disguise, as he actually gained the other party's attention.

As long as he provided manpower and effort, Lin Feng could establish a specialized channel for smuggling precious medicinal herbs and was even willing to share a portion of the profits.

This was what had improved his mood.

He usually made a living through burning, killing, and looting—every single job was extremely dangerous.

Furthermore, with the Dragon Kingdom's strict crackdowns and anti-underworld campaigns in recent years, the good days for his gang were numbered.

Finding a new path now was truly a stroke of luck.

Smuggling medicinal herbs wasn't a legitimate business either, and it would eventually collapse.

So he decided to go all out and follow Lin Feng on the path to going legit.

Lin Feng was an overseas mercenary who had come to Donghai also hoping to clean up his own record.

Bringing Black Snake along was just convenient.

Walking into the small room...

Black Snake held two beauties, preparing to do some intimate things together.

However, in the next moment, his good mood vanished completely with the appearance of Ling Xian.

Ling Xian's appearance was too abrupt, as if he had appeared out of thin air, causing Black Snake to break out in a cold sweat.

“Hey, who are you? Do you know where this is? Take off the mask.” Black Snake forced himself to stay calm and threatened Ling Xian loudly.

He hoped this would draw his underlings over.

What he didn't know was that Ling Xian had already knocked out all of his underlings long ago.

Now, the only ones who could hear him were Ling Xian in front of him and the two beauties in his arms.

The two beauties were not simple either; they had undergone specialized training. Seeing that Black Snake was in danger, they instinctively took action.

They completely forgot how terrifying Ling Xian's appearance had been.

“No matter who you are, don't you dare touch the Boss.”

One of the beauties actually erupted with a heavy, powerful force from her seemingly weak fist.

With a roar, she threw a punch.

If an ordinary person took this punch, they would likely suffer a concussion on the spot.

Ling Xian did not retreat; instead, he waved the sleeve of his black robe, the fabric brushing past like drifting clouds.

“Bang!”

The woman was sent flying on the spot.

In an instant, the room fell silent!

The other beauty also wanted to act, but seeing the gap in strength, she didn't dare move rashly.

Instead, she pulled a dagger from her snowy cleavage and swung it directly at Ling Xian.

This time Ling Xian was even faster, sending the woman flying with just a slap.

“Ungrateful trash.”

In the original plot, these two women weren't anything good either; they were typical femme fatales.

They had done countless evil deeds for Black Snake, destroying many ordinary families in the process.

The two women were easily dealt with.

Now, only Black Snake's heavy breathing and the sound of his teeth chattering remained.

The opponent was even more formidable than the Lin Feng from a few days ago.

In his youth, he had carved out his path with a blade, one strike at a time.

But having reached this status, he had become afraid of death.

“I haven't enjoyed all of this enough yet; I can't die.”

Black Snake immediately pulled a pitch-black pistol from the drawer of the bedside cabinet.

This was his final trump card!

Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't use it because being caught with this in the Dragon Kingdom would lead to execution by firing squad.

But in this moment of crisis, Black Snake couldn't afford to think much.

“Don't come any closer! If you come any closer, I'll shoot!” Black Snake held the gun with both hands, aiming it at Ling Xian.

Ling Xian's footsteps did not falter.

The next moment, Black Snake pulled the trigger.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Three gunshots rang out, and the bullets shot out like whistling arrows.

However, the scene that followed was something he would never forget for the rest of his life.

When those bullets were still a foot away from Ling Xian, it was as if an invisible layer of fire rose around him; the bullets' speed plummeted, and they began to warp.

The black-robed man in front of him leisurely dodged them.

“Mon... Monster! You're a monster!”

Black Snake was also a martial artist. Although he was only at the second stage, he believed that as a martial artist, his understanding of martial artists was deep enough to know it was impossible to dodge bullets.

This was the reason why, despite being a martial artist, he always kept a gun ready.

But now, this scene made him doubt his own understanding of reality.

It turned out the legendary feat of dodging bullets could actually be achieved.

Martial artists could truly cultivate to such a level.

“Submit. Tell me everything about Lin Feng, especially regarding the smuggled herbs, or die!”

A wisp of eerie blue flame appeared, lightly landing on his forehead and on the bodies of the two fallen women.

“I submit! I choose to submit!” Black Snake slumped to his knees on the spot. “I'll talk, I'll tell you everything.”

The opponent's methods were like those of a god.

Whether it was dodging bullets or making flames appear out of thin air, he didn't dare harbor even a single rebellious thought.

If he had known he would suffer such a disaster because of Lin Feng, he never would have cooperated with him a few days ago.

“Lin... Lin Feng,” Black Snake's voice trembled with extreme fear, his words incoherent.

“He found me through... through an overseas middleman.

He gave me money, lots of money!

And... and some of his connections overseas helped me open up a herb smuggling channel from South America...”

“Be specific. Details of the channel, time, location, and people involved.”

These were things that hadn't been described in detail in the original plot.

Ling Xian could only inquire carefully.

“Yes! Yes!” Black Snake nodded frantically, as if grasping at a life-saving straw.

“The channel is mainly through cargo ships, hidden in ordinary containers, with the handover at Warehouse Area 7 of the Donghai Third Port.

The next... the next handover is tomorrow at 2:00 AM!

The ones in charge of receiving the goods are two subordinates Lin Feng brought back from abroad, code-named 'Wolf Fang' and 'Wolf Eye.' They are both experts... Lin Feng... Lin Feng himself might even show up to inspect the goods!”

Ling Xian was slightly surprised. In the original plot, Lin Feng definitely wouldn't have sent his own subordinates onto the stage so early.

It seemed that his subjugation of Wu Poshan had caused a butterfly effect.

“Very good!” Ling Xian slowly spat out those two words.

Black Snake thought he had received the other's forgiveness and slowly raised his head.

However, with a thought from Ling Xian, the eerie blue flame ignited from Black Snake's forehead, instantly enveloping his entire body, yet it did not burn his flesh or clothes in the slightest.

“No! Don't! You said...” Black Snake screamed in terror, his body rolling on the ground, hoping to extinguish the fire.

But the Undead Divine Fire burned the soul. As long as the soul remained, how could it easily disappear?

“I am a villain. You actually believe the words of a villain?” Ling Xian sneered.

“Aah!” Black Snake let out an incredibly shrill scream.

Then his whole body began to twitch violently, his eyes bulging and bloodshot, as if he were enduring the most painful torture in the world.

This burning from the soul was cold and deathly silent.

Under such means, even seeking death was a luxury.

The same was true for the two unconscious women.

Compared to the torture of the soul, death was actually quite merciful.
