Although he was shot and blood spurted out, Zheng Yubai still turned around very neatly. With a flash of his figure, he dodges the second round of shooting and rushes towards James.
"Kill him! Kill him!" James hugged his daughter, who just turned 18 today, with infinite fear in his voice. He watched five colleagues being killed, and no matter how strong the hatred between them was, there was an unstoppable feeling of grief for the loss of the rabbit.
James was as terrified as if he had seen his own body lying dead on the spot. He was shaking like a sieve and couldn't stop. The bodyguards around him were also terrified and could hardly hold their guns steady. They had never seen someone as desperate as Zheng Yubai, someone so ruthless and merciless, someone who was shot but still fought bravely.
However, the bodyguards were numerous and powerful. Some of them kept shooting, and more people gathered in front of James, the only surviving elder, to form a human wall. Even if Zheng Yubai had three heads and six arms, he would not be able to kill so many masters.
Just when everyone was focusing their attention on Zheng Yubai, James suddenly felt something was wrong. When he was young, he had also been on the edge of a knife, and developed a beast-like intuition. A thought flashed through his mind, as if he had missed something.
While hesitating, James heard a subtle click. The sound seemed far away, far away in the sky, but also seemed very close, right inside the body.
Then James saw a scene that he could never forget. He didn't even have to turn around to see a person standing behind him. The person was tall and was smiling at him. In that smile, there was an irrepressible sense of pride.
Hearing his daughter's scream, did she see anything? Before James could think or associate, everything went dark.
Zheng Yubai was shot five more times before he could rush into the group of bodyguards. The short-range contact made the bodyguards give up shooting. They thought that a man shot eight times should have no fighting power, but in fact Zheng Yubai was indeed on the verge of exhaustion. He was just using his last strength to complete this plan.
Just as the bodyguards surrounded Zheng Yubai and were about to kill him, James' daughter Lina let out a heart-wrenching scream.
The bodyguards looked back unconsciously and saw Sir James' body facing everyone, but his head had rotated 180 degrees and was facing backwards, leaving only the back of his head.
The person who twisted James' head off was none other than Zheng Yubai's boss Xu Heixing. After he let go of his hand, James' body fell to the ground with a thud. Lina rushed over like a madman, shouting "Dad".
The bodyguards were all dumbfounded. Their masters were all dead, so who were they going to protect
"I order you to stop. From now on, all power in Yandaotang belongs to our five-member committee." Xu Heixing said in a stern tone.
"A five-member committee?" a small leader among the bodyguards asked in surprise.
"I, Mr. Hawkins, Mr. Yurinovich and the two Mr. Trada, we are the members of the five-member committee. Let me repeat, we are now taking over all the power of Yandaotang until the situation returns to normal." Xu Heixing swept a cold gaze over the bodyguards, making them feel numb in their hearts and they stopped their actions one after another.
Didn't you cause this situation? This is clearly a despicable coup. Most people think so, but they are just bodyguards after all. Now that all the elders are dead, the real power is in these five frontier officials. It is natural for them to take over the power.
Behind every power change is blood, tears and filth, and this time is no exception. The bodyguards are used to this practice and have accepted this reality. However, they still look at the crazy assassin, wanting to see his end.
Zheng Yubai's originally straight body finally relaxed after Xu Heixing took control of the situation. He held his breath, and his muscles slowly moved. Under the stunned gaze of many bodyguards, the five bullets that had hit his arms and lower abdomen were slowly squeezed out.
"How is this possible, is he really a human?" someone exclaimed.
Xu Heixing walked to Zheng Yubai's side and looked at the five bullets that fell on the ground with some surprise. He had heard that if one's internal strength was trained to a certain level, one could become invulnerable to swords and guns, but he never thought that he would be able to witness this scene in his lifetime.
"How is it?" Xu Heixing asked Zheng Yubai with concern.
"There are still three. I'm afraid surgery is needed." Zheng Yubai indicated that he could still hold on.
"I'll contact a doctor for you right away." Xu Heixing said hurriedly.
"Just call this number." Zheng Yubai prepared a phone number. It was Hannibal's phone number in London. Although the cannibal doctor was a little dirty sometimes and would steal some organs from the patient to eat, his medical skills were still trustworthy.
Wang Feng sent Zheng Yubai to Hannibal's house. Seeing the dirty clinic, Wang Feng whispered to Zheng Yubai, "Are you sure it's here? I'd better take you to a regular hospital."
Zheng Yubai smiled and said, "No need. I believe in his medical skills. You should go back first. So many things have happened just now. The boss needs your help."
Although Wang Feng was a little worried, he also believed that Zheng Yubai would not joke about his life. He could only remind him to take good care of himself and asked Hannibal to give him good treatment before he left in a hurry.
Hannibal looked at Wang Feng's back angrily and complained to Zheng Yubai: "You are such an impolite friend. Although I am a little injured here, my medical skills are great."
"Okay, okay, they are too short-sighted. I'm telling you, can you hurry up? It hurts a lot." Zheng Yubai said while lying on Hannibal's old hospital bed.
"Don't do such life-threatening things in the future. Do you know that a bullet almost pierced your heart?" Hannibal walked to Zheng Yubai's side and could see the location of the bullet without the help of any machine.
Zheng Yubai nodded slightly to indicate that he knew that if he had not been full of internal energy and used the internal energy and muscle strength to dissipate the impact of the bullet, he would have been dead now. However, it is worth being proud of that Zheng Yubai can be regarded as the first person who can use the potential of his body to resist bullets.
The death of Baguazhang master Cheng Tinghua under the volley of gunfire from dozens of guns was regarded as evidence that martial arts could not resist bullets. In fact, if it was just a one-on-one duel, Zheng Yubai did not think that Cheng Tinghua would lose. He just sacrificed his life for his country because a good tiger cannot fight a pack of wolves.
A hundred years have passed, and although Zheng Yubai did not face dozens of guns, he can be considered a person who survived the hail of bullets. Looking back on the past of the martial arts world, lying on a hospital bed in a foreign country, it is really sad.
A hundred years later, inheriting the unique skills of martial arts masters, Zheng Yubai finally entered an unprecedented realm. Although Hannibal still had to take out three bullets from his body, it was also worth being proud of.
Hannibal's medical skills and super powers are outstanding, and the three bullets only penetrated into the muscle tissue and did not enter the body because of Zheng Yubai's strong internal strength. This operation was easy for Hannibal and was completed in just ten minutes.
"Thank you very much." Zheng Yubai climbed up from the hospital bed, stretched his muscles and bones, and found that he was safe and sound.
"Remember to rest for twenty-four hours. Don't use force or do strenuous exercise. Otherwise, I can't save you." Hannibal reminded.
Zheng Yubai scratched his head. He originally wanted to go back to Xu Heixing to help deal with the chaotic situation, but now it seems that he can only have a good rest.
"Then I'll rest here with you and leave tomorrow." Zheng Yubai said.
"You are such a troublesome patient." Hannibal said angrily, "You are going to die soon, so don't bother me. Treating patients like you not only does not make any money, but it also wastes my time. Now you even want to stay in my house. Oh my God, what kind of world is this?"
Zheng Yubai knew that Hannibal was just talking. The old man loved wine. This time Zheng Yubai came to London and brought him a lot of good wine. For the sake of the wine, Hannibal had to do his best.
"You're in big trouble this time." Hannibal asked Zheng Yubai while tidying up the hospital bed.
Zheng Yubai nodded and told Hannibal what happened.
"You are such a lunatic." Hannibal cleaned up the clinic, called Zheng Yubai to the restaurant outside, opened a bottle of fine red wine, and poured a glass for Zheng Yubai.
"If you were in this situation, what would you do?" Zheng Yubai asked Hannibal. He knew that the old man was just pretending to be a drunkard, but he was actually quite wise.
Hannibal happily took a sip of wine and said, "War is actually the source of human progress. Yan Dao Tang and the Skull and Bones Society have held most of the world's power for a hundred years. It's time to fight to the death. But your appearance is really an anomaly. I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse for the world."
"I avoided the war, how could it be a disaster?" Zheng Yubai scratched his head and asked in confusion.
"Whenever a power is corrupt, it will naturally do very crazy things. This is the case with Yan Dao Tang and Skull and Bones Society. They have reached the pinnacle of power. This war may be an opportunity for them to fall completely and for new forces to rise." Hannibal said.
Zheng Yubai understood Hannibal's meaning. He thought for a while and asked hesitantly, "So what you mean is that I ruined the situation?"
"That's not the case. After all, you have good intentions and want to sacrifice a minority to safeguard the interests of the majority. And war is about destruction and rebirth. In fact, your appearance may be another way to change the world." Hannibal didn't know whether his words were comforting or encouraging.
"And the most important point is, once you are determined to do something, just do it with perseverance. Nothing in the world can go as we wish, but just be true to your heart." Hannibal said meaningfully.
Zheng Yubai pondered over Hannibal's words and fell into deep thought. Reaching the peak of martial arts not only honed his body to a high level, but also opened his mind. His current state of mind was very indifferent, and he didn't care about the big issues of right and wrong.
Hannibal was right. As long as we stick to our true self, that will be enough. Zheng Yubai was determined in his heart.
The next twenty-four hours were full of drama. When Zheng Yubai saw Xu Heixing the next day, he saw that his eyes were bloodshot and he had not closed his eyes all day.
"Do you know how many people died last night?" When Xu Heixing saw Zheng Yubai, his first words were filled with murderous intent.
"I don't know, and I don't want to know." Zheng Yubai said. He has chosen this path, so no matter how many pools of blood there are, he must persevere and keep going until the end.
"Six counterattacks and nineteen assassinations. These old men have so many cronies. I'm really afraid that the sewers in London can't hold so many bodies." Xu Heixing said lightly. He lit a cigarette, and the smoke covered most of his face with a ferocious expression.
Zheng Yubai sighed: "If you can spare him, then spare him..."
"I thought you wouldn't be soft-hearted." Xu Heixing smiled, "It's really hard for me to see through your thoughts now."
"I don't even know what I'm thinking, let alone you." Zheng Yubai said with a wry smile.
"How is your injury?" Xu Heixing asked after a moment of silence.
"It's okay, so I plan to go to the United States in the afternoon." Zheng Yubai said.
"Have you decided?" Xu Heixing's expression became serious.
"Speed is of the essence in war. If the news gets to the Skull and Bones Society, it will probably trigger a large-scale battle immediately. If I want to avoid war, I can't rest for even a minute." Zheng Yubai said.
"Okay, I've already sent someone to pick you up. Your friends have also been arranged, and they can start the action at any time." Xu Heixing pondered, "But you have to promise me that if you are not sure, don't force it."
"Don't worry, I love life very much." Zheng Yubai said with a smile.
"Well, I wish you a safe journey." Xu Heixing stretched out his hand.
Zheng Yubai held his hand and whispered, "You must remember your promise to me. I hope Yandao Hall will never become as corrupt as before."
Xu Heixing nodded: "Don't worry, I will fulfill my promise to you step by step. This world will definitely become a better place."
Zheng Yubai stared into Xu Heixing's eyes, was silent for a while, then turned and left.
Xu Heixing sighed as he looked at Zheng Yubai's receding back. Wang Feng beside him came over and asked, "Boss, do you think he can succeed?"
"No matter what, be prepared to fight the Skull Society." Xu Heixing extinguished the cigarette in his hand and ordered in a deep voice.
On the flight from London to the United States, Zheng Yubai put a hat on his face and fell asleep. Since cooperating with Xu Heixing, too many things have happened in a short period of time, which has made him exhausted. This time he is going to the United States to do something earth-shattering, and he hopes to have a good rest and recharge his energy.
"Sir..." I fell asleep in a daze, and a gentle voice came to my ears.
"Well, what's up?" Zheng Yubai took off his hat, revealing his made-up face. He had some beard on his cheeks, his nose was raised, his eyes were smaller, and he wore black-framed glasses. If he looked in the mirror, he was clearly a man in his thirties or forties with mature charm.
"May I ask if you would like to have a meal?" the flight attendant on the plane asked very politely.
"What sets are available?" Zheng Yubai asked.
"We have beef set meal and chicken set meal. Which one would you like?" The stewardess' voice was gentle and her manners were dignified. It was indeed worthy of first-class service.
"I want beef..." Zheng Yubai stopped talking halfway because he saw a man walking towards him. Zheng Yubai would recognize this man even if he was burned to ashes. It was Fang Hongjin, Zheng Yubai's old enemy.
Last time Fang Hongjin escaped on the rooftop, Zheng Yubai searched for him several times but could not find any clues. He could only sigh that this old enemy was born with the ability to escape. If he wanted to escape, there would be few people in the world who could catch him.
I had been so busy recently that I had forgotten about Fang Hongjin. But as luck would have it, Fang Hongjin was on the same flight as me. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
But if we fight with him on the plane, it will be difficult not to alert other passengers, and it will be extremely unsafe. Zheng Yubai thought about his current situation and decided to be patient and deal with him when he arrived in the United States.
Fang Hongjin passed behind the stewardess and did not notice Zheng Yubai who was taking the beef set meal from the stewardess.
The two of them were not sitting far from each other, and Fang Hongjin seemed to have a companion. Zheng Yubai could hear them whispering to each other from time to time. However, they both deliberately lowered their voices and spoke very quickly, so it was difficult for Zheng Yubai to distinguish. He could only occasionally hear one or two words clearly, but he could not connect these words to get the complete meaning.
Zheng Yubai was puzzled. Why did Fang Hongjin go to London and return to the United States at such a sensitive time? Could it be related to the Presbyterian Church
The more he thought about it, the more worried he felt. Zheng Yubai ate the beef rice in a hurry, looked at the water cup on the small dining table, frowned, and came up with a plan.
"Hello, miss. Please help me clean up." Zheng Yubai waved to the flight attendant.
The stewardess came over with a food cart and took the food tray in front of Zheng Yubai with a smile. When the stewardess leaned down to take the food tray, Zheng Yubai flicked his finger and gently pushed the water cup next to him a little bit forward.
The cup hit the stewardess's arm, shook and fell over, and the water inside spilled on Zheng Yubai's pants.
"Oops!" The flight attendant was surprised and apologized to Zheng Yubai repeatedly.
In fact, it was Zheng Yubai who should apologize. In order to eavesdrop on Fang Hongjin's words, he could only "wrongly accuse" the poor stewardess. Seeing the stewardess's panic, he quickly said it was okay.
The stewardess hurriedly cleaned up the mess in front of Zheng Yubai, then looked at Zheng Yubai's wet pants with embarrassment and said, "Sir, your pants?"
"Actually, I have a pair of pants in my suitcase, I just need to find a convenient place to change." Zheng Yubai scratched his head.
The stewardess looked around and saw that there were no customers in the row behind Fang Hongjin. She said hurriedly, "Sir, there are no customers there. I wonder if it's convenient for you to change your clothes."
This was exactly what Zheng Yubai hoped for. He smiled and said, "That's great. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if other guests saw us."
The flight attendant felt apologetic, so naturally she gave the green light to everything. After Zheng Yubai took out new pants from the suitcase, she led Zheng Yubai behind Fang Hongjin.
Seeing Zheng Yubai coming over, Fang Hongjin didn't care. He was focusing on a shocking secret. Although he noticed Zheng Yubai's appearance, he also saw the scene just now, so he didn't have any doubts.
Zheng Yubai came to the seat behind Fang Hongjin, and the flight attendant moved away to avoid embarrassing him.
As the distance got closer, Zheng Yubai was not in a hurry and slowly took off his pants. He took out the things in his pockets one by one and sorted them out slowly, anyway, he would take as long as he could.
Fang Hongjin didn't notice the extra pair of ears behind him. He was still talking in a low voice to his companion. His companion spoke fluent London accent, which made it difficult for Zheng Yubai, who was not very good at English, to understand. However, he quickly captured some useful information.
"... You have to know that this is an important secret. I won't tell you unless I see the real boss." Fang Hongjin's companion lowered his voice. He seemed to be rejecting some of Fang Hongjin's requests, and from Fang Hongjin's tone, it seemed that he wanted to get some information out of this man.
"Don't you believe me?" Fang Hongjin asked stiffly. He was a little excited and his voice was a little higher. As soon as he said this, he felt something was wrong and turned to look at Zheng Yubai.
Zheng Yubai pretended to unbuckle his belt, revealing the edge of his underwear, and muttered, "Even my underwear is wet. What should I do?"
Fang Hongjin took a glance, turned his head away in disgust, and no longer paid attention to Zheng Yubai's actions.
"No matter what, you have to tell me some details first, so that I can recommend you to the boss. Otherwise, how can I know whether your information is worth the boss meeting you." Fang Hongjin continued talking to himself. Although he spoke quickly, Zheng Yubai could understand most of it.
Fang Hongjin's companion hesitated for a long time. Zheng Yubai had tried his best to delay, but he couldn't take off his pants for several hours. When he was reluctantly taking off his pants and pretending to wipe the water stains on his legs with the tissue brought by the flight attendant, the man spoke.
"I can tell you a little bit, but you have to help me meet the bosses of the Skull and Bones Society."
"Don't worry, I promise you, I will introduce them to you." Fang Hongjin said enthusiastically, and from his tone, he was almost swearing.
"Okay, I'll tell you." The man sighed, "A major incident happened in Yandao Hall yesterday. All thirteen elders of the Presbyterian Church died."
"What!" Fang Hongjin took a breath, and Zheng Yubai, who was eavesdropping behind him, was also startled, thinking that it was fortunate that he met these two people on the plane. If this news really reached the ears of the head of the Skull and Bones Society, I am afraid that war will break out at any time.
"What's going on?" Fang Hongjin asked excitedly.
"I only know that it was a martial arts master under Xu Heixing who assassinated all the elders. Now all power in Yandaotang has been taken over by the five-member committee headed by Xu Heixing." The man said again.
"Is everything you said true?" Fang Hongjin's voice trembled with excitement. He certainly knew how precious this news was.
"I guarantee that every word I say is true." the man said firmly.
Zheng Yubai was listening to this in the back, and was just trying to listen to a few more words before making a decision. Fang Hongjin seemed to sense something, and suddenly turned his head and stared at Zheng Yubai. (To be continued)
