Super War God in the City

Chapter 254 - 254 Assassin is Stunned

The sudden turn of events shocked Wen Gao, still kneeling on the ground, as well as Jing Jianming and the others who had just stepped out of the door.

Ling Fan was momentarily stunned, then his expression turned icy as he looked at the kidnapped Shangguan Yue and said in a stern voice, "Judging by your accent, are you from the Mediterranean? An assassin?"

Upon hearing this, Tian Xuan was instantly taken aback. How could this man discern his accent and identity from just one sentence?

Tian Xuan's sense of alarm skyrocketed. What kind of person was this, to have such insight?

Keep in mind, he had disguised his voice so that he believed no one could detect his accent.

But, don't forget, Ling Fan had cultivated Divine Sense, and his sensitivity to sound was extraordinary compared to normal people. If it had been before, he might not have been able to tell.

Seeing the look in the other's eyes, he knew he had hit the mark. Moreover, the person had disguised himself; clearly a foreigner but with an oriental face, and there were subtle unnatural inconsistencies in his facial expressions.

Tian Xuan's disguise skills were quite advanced, such that even standing face to face with someone, it was difficult to be discovered; however, he could never have calculated that Ling Fan possessed Innate Divine Sense.

As thoughts raced through Ling Fan's mind, he inferred much information and with a flicker in his gaze, he said, "Let me guess again, the bounty was posted by the Tang Family from Xiangshan in the underworld, right? What's the level? Let's see how much my head is worth!"

Of late, the only entity he had offended was Hua Yi, and he could not think of anyone else who would hire an underworld assassin to target him!

The more Tian Xuan listened, the more alarmed he became—this man seemed to know everything about him already!

"Come now, there's no need to keep secrets here. Even if you don't tell me, I can find out on my own. It won't violate your assassins' code—the three rules and nine guidelines don't cover that!" Ling Fan said indifferently.

He was trying to extract the information he wanted to know, keeping his Divine Sense focused on any changes in the other, while he rapidly

Ge Su, after his initial shock, found himself filled with a desperate hope. Somebody had put out a bounty of one billion US dollars; with such a high reward, there must be someone brave enough. He refused to believe that with such a sum, Ling Fan could not be killed.

Cheng Zhenli snapped out of her daze, took a deep breath, and looked at Li Shishi with a mocking glint in her eyes. She thought to herself, "This guy is pretty badass, but he also seems like a ticking time bomb, ready to blow you to smithereens at any moment!"

Shangguan Yue heard the assassin's words firsthand and became immediately anxious on behalf of Ling Fan. One billion US dollars—Hua Yi was truly going all in, determined to kill Ling Fan.

At that moment, Ling Fan released his Divine Sense to its maximum range and did not detect anyone nearby, at least not within a hundred meters, which was the furthest his Divine Sense could cover.

Within moments, he had gathered a lot of information.

One billion US dollars, that meant an S-ranked mission. Before his amnesia, he had specifically looked up the information on the list of S-ranked assassins in the underworld.

As an assassin, the first principle is to assassinate covertly, or in layman's terms: to start with a sneak attack. Like the guy in front of him playing it straight, only one came to mind.

Ling Fan looked towards Tian Xuan and pondered, "Don't rush. Let me guess again. A billion dollars is S-class. Among the S-class assassins, those who like to strike openly like you... If I'm not mistaken, you must be part of the Tian Xuan Di Ming duo. I wonder which one you are!"

Tian Xuan's hands trembled with surprise as he stared at Ling Fan in shock, realizing that Ling Fan had been baiting him all this time.

But being able to deduce his identity so quickly from such limited information was unbelievable. Suddenly, he realized that this mission was the most bizarre one of his assassin career.

Seeing Tian Xuan's reaction, Ling Fan sneered inwardly. It seemed his guess was correct, "I'll give you one chance. Let her go, or I assure you, this will be the last mission that you, 'Xuan Ming Dead Soul,' ever accept!"

For the first time, Tian Xuan felt nervous. His eyes betrayed a hint of panic. He suddenly realized that as an assassin, they knew nothing about Ling Fan, while their target knew them inside out.

That would be a total loss of face if it got out. Right now, he was still controlling Shangguan Yue with one hand and yet, he didn't dare to threaten Ling Fan rashly.

"What's the matter, didn't hear me clearly? Want to make a bet? Before you hurt her, I can take your dog's life!" Ling Fan spoke to Tian Xuan, his tone indifferent.

Tian Xuan's breathing became heavy, obviously under great pressure. The unknown was the most terrifying, "Who the hell are you?"

Di Ming, lying in wait with a sniper rifle three hundred meters from the villa, was also confused listening to the conversation through his earpiece, hesitating to pull the trigger.
