Jiang Donghui's heart instantly clenched.
No matter how powerful Brother Chen was, he was no match for firearms.
Firearms made everyone equal.
Blake was smug, smiling, "I knew you wouldn't die that easily, so I kept a trick up my sleeve. Aren't you surprised?"
"Indeed," Chen Jinzhao nodded.
Blake raised an eyebrow, feeling that Chen Jinzhao wasn't being entirely truthful. He showed no trace of fear when facing the menacing muzzle of the gun.
Could it be that he had anticipated this?
As Blake's mind raced, Chen Jinzhao spoke again, "West African Little King Kong—Blake, I believe I have the right person?"
King Kong—
As the name suggests, it refers to a being with an extremely powerful physique.
Blake lived up to this nickname.
"I didn't expect to catch the eye of Candle Dragon. Is this my honor?" Blake asked with a faint smile, admitting his identity.
"Someone actually hired you to assassinate me. It must have cost a pretty penny, right?" Chen Jinzhao spoke as if chatting with Blake, showing no sign of nervousness or fear.
Blake chuckled, "That's not for you to worry about. You know, in our line of work, we can't reveal our client's information, unless you kill me."
But killing Blake, how easy would that be?
Blake was not comparable to the likes of Verus and Yamada Nobunaga, who were considered trash. He ranked twenty-seventh on the international individual combatant leaderboard, an extremely formidable S-class soldier king. Blake rose from West Africa, possessing exceptional physical prowess, hence his moniker "West African Little King Kong" in the international community.
He could subdue Verus and Yamada Nobunaga with one hand.
Chen Jinzhao pondered, Blake was likely not hired by the Black Blood Group, otherwise, he would have appeared alongside those two, rather than playing this game of mantis stalking cicada.
As for who it was, Chen Jinzhao already had a guess in mind.
Blake didn't want to waste any more time, he coldly sneered, "Do you have any last words? If not, I'll send you to meet Satan."
Chen Jinzhao stood his ground, unmoving.
"Good!"
"You truly have guts. Then, please go on your way."
Bang, bang, bang!
Blake fired three shots in rapid succession, each aimed at Chen Jinzhao's head.
It was at this moment that Chen Jinzhao finally moved.
However, he didn't dodge. Instead, he drew Tai Sui from the pocket on the outside of his thigh and charged towards the direction the bullets were coming from.
From a distance.
Jiang Donghui and Wu Lingyun watched in stunned silence. The latter, in particular, exclaimed in shock, "Is he… is he crazy? He's clearly seeking death!"
Jiang Donghui was also silent, unable to comprehend Chen Tianzhao's intentions.
Blake was taken aback for a moment and snorted, "What on earth is he doing? Does he think he can dodge bullets this way? Even an S-class expert couldn't do that!"
He's courting his own demise!
In a flash, the three bullets appeared before Chen Jinzhao. Chen Jinzhao's response was not to dodge, but to raise Tai Sui and slash towards the approaching bullets! Blake clearly saw Chen Jinzhao's actions and was utterly shocked, believing Chen Jinzhao had gone mad!
However—
Chen Jinzhao reveled in this sensation. It was at the edge of life and death that one's greatest potential could be unleashed! In his eyes, the speed of the three bullets seemed to slow down. He raised his hand, swinging Tai Sui to deflect the closest bullet!
Anyone who had studied physics would understand that speed is relative.
Compared to the speed of the bullets, Chen Jinzhao's raising motion was still too slow, making him feel a sense of helplessness.
"Still not enough!" he murmured.
Chen Jinzhao let out a low growl, causing the energy within his body to surge rapidly, all converging onto his right arm! This made his sword swing even faster, as if breaking through some unseen barrier. In an instant, Tai Sui successfully intercepted the bullet!
Clang!
The collision sent sparks flying.
Chen Jinzhao's arm felt the impact force, and Tai Sui almost flew out of his grip! Fortunately, Chen Jinzhao had anticipated this and held onto Tai Sui firmly.
The blade of Tai Sui vibrated intensely, emitting a humming sound, as if cheering.
This was the first time Chen Jinzhao had successfully intercepted a bullet.
With the experience from the first, he managed to intercept the remaining two bullets one by one. However, this came at a significant cost to Chen Jinzhao. Merely intercepting these three bullets had consumed more than half of the energy within him.
But.
For Chen Jinzhao, this was a moment of immense significance.
He had a faint feeling that he had broken through again, perhaps surpassing the traditional S-class.
Of course.
This was merely Chen Jinzhao's speculation; he would need to verify his thoughts through actual combat.
Chen Jinzhao did not rush to counterattack. Instead, he lowered his head to examine Tai Sui in his hand. The blade of Tai Sui remained as smooth as ever, with no nicks. This reminded him of what Yamamoto Chizuru had said before her death, making him wonder if Tai Sui was indeed forged from Murasame, the legendary treasure sword of the Land of the Rising Sun.
"I'll have to ask Old Xu when I get the chance," Chen Jinzhao thought.
Putting aside his thoughts.
Chen Jinzhao looked up at Blake, who was opposite him.
The village was now silent. Chen Jinzhao could even hear Blake's breathing from a dozen meters away, as well as the faint rustling of the breeze against his face.
Not far away.
Jiang Donghui and the other two were completely stunned.
They had never witnessed such a terrifying scene!
Wu Lingyun's face was filled with disbelief as she murmured, "Is this a movie? Or… did I just hallucinate? Everything feels so unreal!"
Gulp.
She swallowed, her chest still heaving.
Jiang Donghui's eyes were wide, and he stammered, "You saw it too, right? That means all of this is real. Brother Chen blocked bullets with his bare hands! It's too terrifying. Is he human or god?"
No one could answer his question.
Blake couldn't either.
Because he had never encountered such a terrifying being before!
"You blocked bullets with your bare hands?" he shrieked.
Chen Jinzhao remained silent, as if savoring the glorious moment.
Blake shook his head repeatedly, still unable to believe it. There had been extremely powerful S-class individuals in the past who had tried to break their limits and block bullets with their bare hands, but they had all failed. Since then, the top echelon of strong individuals in the world had abandoned this notion, considering it impossible.
Before witnessing what he had just seen, Blake firmly believed that no one in the world could achieve this!
But now—
The West African Little King Kong's worldview was beginning to crumble.
Following this, a deep sense of dread washed over him. Chen Jinzhao was walking towards Blake step by step, making the latter feel as if he were being targeted by a demon from the abyss!
Blake subconsciously took two steps back.
Chen Jinzhao suddenly smiled.
"Didn't you say you were going to kill me?"
"I'll give you another chance. If you can't kill me, then I will kill you."
