Chapter 267 - 263 Ghost Shadow Ninja
Leaving the bar, Ling Chen walked to the roadside, preparing to get into his car. However, hearing the sound of footsteps, he shook his head helplessly; this woman really didn’t know when to stop. Thereupon, he turned around and said, "Xia..."
No sooner had he spoken than his eyes suddenly sharpened, and his body involuntarily swerved to the side. In the instant he made his evasive move, a sharp crossbow arrow whizzed past, nearly grazing his ear as it flew by his cheek.
Damn! He thought Xia Mutong had followed him, but it turned out to be an assassin—a rookie assassin at that—who couldn’t even seize such a perfect opportunity.
Having missed the first shot, the assassin panicked, fumbling to reload the crossbow arrow, preparing to aim once more. Ling Chen curled his lips into a smirk and casually strolled over, reassuringly saying, "Don’t rush. Take it slow. Hey, you’re aiming the arrowhead off-target. There, that’s better."
By the time the assassin had reloaded the crossbow and raised the weapon, Ling Chen was already up close. In a flurry, the assassin, without a second thought, pulled the trigger. This time, Ling Chen didn’t even dodge, yet the arrow still missed him.
Seeing Ling Chen unharmed and standing right in front of him, the assassin’s face turned pale and his body trembled uncontrollably, his throat rolling as he swallowed his saliva.
Ling Chen sighed, patted him on the shoulder, and advised earnestly, "Brother, with your skills, being an assassin is just a waste of talent. You might as well consider another profession; I think you could earn more setting up a stall on the street than being an assassin."
Bang!
As he finished speaking, a sudden gunshot abruptly rang out.
Startled, Ling Chen quickly pushed the assassin in front of him away, then ducked, scanning the area to locate the source of the gunshot. Soon, his gaze was drawn to Xia Mutong outside the bar, holding a gun with both hands, her face filled with tension, staring at something beyond him.
