Chapter 40: Settled with One Shot, Simple as Can Be
With a bang.
A clamor of voices arose from the surroundings.
Many people wondered if they had misheard.
However, Shen Xing’s clear enunciation undoubtedly told everyone that they had heard correctly.
Such a blatant threat showed no regard for the Hungry Wolf Gang at all!
Even when the Hungry Wolf Gang dealt with ordinary people, they rarely bullied them so directly!
One had to know, this was one of the five major forces in Clearwater City!
Among the onlookers, many people from the other four major forces couldn’t help but wonder if this young master also didn’t put them, or even the entire Clearwater City, in his eyes?
What gave him such confidence?
Could it be that a great expert was hiding nearby?
Not only were these people thinking this way, but even the person from the Hungry Wolf Gang who had stepped forward was also thinking the same.
He was initially angry, but after the anger subsided, he became wary instead.
His gaze swept back and forth among the onlookers, as if trying to find an unfamiliar face.
However, even if a Marrow Tempering expert really showed up, they wouldn’t dare to say they would rob them of their Divine Intent Inheritance.
This was a major taboo!
“Stop looking.” Shen Xing easily saw through the other party’s intentions and said lazily, “A low-class force like yours doesn’t require such a big fuss.”
“…”
Not only the leader, but even the other members’ faces turned completely red.
This was undisguised humiliation and contempt!
They were the Hungry Wolf Gang! A pack of truly hungry wolves!
When had they ever faced such an attitude?
“Good!” A voice suddenly came from within the courtyard, carrying the weight of a deep breath, even causing the house to tremble slightly.
As a thin middle-aged man with particularly slender arms walked out, all the members of the Hungry Wolf Gang seemed to have found their backbone.
“Gang Leader!”
“Gang Leader!”
Shouts rang out one after another, and the morale that had been suppressed by Shen Xing alone seemed to rise again.
This middle-aged man was the leader of the Hungry Wolf Gang, Qiu Kun!
Shen Xing also looked him up and down.
There was no mistake, this beast-like aura was indeed that of a Marrow Tempering expert, and likely not a weak one within that stage.
Perhaps he had even reached the later stage.
In today’s Clearwater City, he was indeed one of the strongest!
“As expected of someone from a great family, truly a formidable youth.” Qiu Kun also sized up Shen Xing, a cold smile on his face, “You want the Divine Intent Inheritance? Fine, a thousand taels of silver, or, Young Master can come and take it yourself.”
In the Body Tempering stage, Marrow Tempering experts truly looked down upon the first three realms.
And at this distance, Qiu Kun was confident that even if a Organ Tempering expert were present, he could first take this young master hostage.
If there were no hidden cards, heh heh…
Then he would gladly accept the Spiritual Weapon.
Ever since he witnessed his own expert father being torn apart by a pack of hungry wolves at the age of eight, he had vowed to become a hungry wolf himself, one who would throw himself at any piece of meat!
At worst, he would just grab the goods and leave this place. The world was vast, no matter how powerful the other party’s background was, where would they go to find him?
However, Qiu Kun never expected that Shen Xing had been waiting for him to show up!
He didn’t even bother with a single word of nonsense.
Bang——!
A high-speed impact descended from the sky, and before anyone could react, it directly exploded on Qiu Kun’s head!
Blood splattered everywhere, and several people standing nearby were directly splashed with blood!
Even the powerful body of a Marrow Tempering expert couldn’t withstand a bullet traveling at three times the speed of sound!
Everyone was still just staring blankly, unable to react.
It wasn’t until a moment later, when someone screamed, that everyone erupted into chaos.
“Gang Leader! The Gang Leader is dead!”
“The Gang Leader is dead!”
“Run!”
◈◈◈
“Innate! An Innate expert made a move!”
“Don’t kill me! Don’t kill me!”
“Sorcery! This is sorcery!”
“…”
The members of the Hungry Wolf Gang, their faces pale, stumbled and fled in all directions. The few who were splashed with blood were especially frenzied and dazed, showing the extent of the shock they had received.
Everything had happened too suddenly, too abruptly.
One second, the Gang Leader appeared, his aura surging.
The next second, their incredibly powerful Gang Leader died in such a b*oody and brutal manner without any warning.
No one could have predicted it.
Even the onlookers were pale, and many of them fled in panic. Even those who forced themselves to stay looked at Shen Xing with boundless fear.
No one could see clearly, or understand, what kind of method this was.
But Qiu Kun’s corpse lay there.
This man, who had been arrogant in Clearwater City for over a decade, like a hungry wolf, feared by countless people, the leader of the Hungry Wolf Gang, had died just like that, simply, without any resistance.
And Shen Xing still maintained that indifferent demeanor.
Although he was also somewhat surprised that he had resolved the opponent with just one shot, it was not so strange when he thought about where he was.
The Body Tempering experts in this place would never be wary of attacks from above.
The drone electromagnetic machine gun also had automatic aiming and automatic trajectory calculation.
To not be able to score a headshot on a stationary target would be rather odd.
Looking at the chaotic scene around him, Shen Xing knew that he had achieved his goal.
In this place, to establish dominance, one needed a sufficiently weighty victory! From the moment he chose the Hungry Wolf Gang, this gang leader’s fate was already sealed by Shen Xing.
Therefore, after the other party appeared, he didn’t bother to say a single unnecessary word.
No amount of words could compare to the shock of a single gunshot.
But now, Shen Xing had to speak.
“Stop shouting.” His voice wasn’t loud, but at this moment, it seemed to carry the weight of heavenly authority. The originally noisy sounds suddenly quieted down, especially the members of the Hungry Wolf Gang, who stood as if their throats were being gripped, trembling, their faces ashen, clearly terrified to the extreme.
It was impossible not to be terrified.
They might not fear death, but this incomprehensible, utterly defenseless manner of death evoked the most primal fear of life.
“Put your hearts at ease, this Young Master won’t kill indiscriminately, lest it dirty my eyes.”
Shen Xing’s still indifferent tone seemed to add a lot of credibility to his words, and many people slumped to the ground.
But there were still many who didn’t dare to move.
The Gang Leader’s corpse lay there, and no one wanted to follow in his footsteps.
“Also, this place belongs to me now.” Shen Xing stepped into the courtyard. “Someone, find everything this Young Master wants.”
“Yes!” The fastest to react was surprisingly the Bone Tempering expert who had spoken earlier.
But this expert’s face was even paler than the others. He just thought about how he had spoken to this terrifying figure in such a tone earlier, and felt as if death could come at any moment.
Hearing Shen Xing’s command, how could he dare to hesitate?
