Chapter 51 Shot Dead on the Spot
As Mu Yuan finished speaking, the air seemed to freeze instantly.
The gazes of more than a dozen Blood Eagle members were like poisoned knives, sweeping back and forth over Lin Ze and his two companions, their fierce aura almost tangible.
Mu Jinpeng was beaming with smugness, and his disdain and mockery were almost overflowing in his sidelong glance at Lin Ze.
The dignified Vice President of Blood Eagle wants people; let's see if you have the guts to refuse.
Tang Wangshu and Zhuang Yi were tense, their palms sweating.
Mu Yuan was, after all, a level 5 professional and a notorious ruthless character in the North District.
He alone was not someone the three of them could handle, let alone the other dozen or so Blood Eagle members.
If a conflict were to break out, things would likely go very badly for us.
To everyone's surprise, in response to Mu Yuan's almost commanding tone, Lin Ze suddenly chuckled, his laughter filled with undisguised mockery.
"Did you get your head caught in a door?"
His gaze swept calmly over Mu Yuan, as if he were sizing up an incomprehensible fool.
"Since when did Bloodhawk become qualified to interfere in the Legion's affairs? Or do you think you're the captain of the Northern District branch?"
He took half a step forward and slowly drew his long sword from his waist, making a crisp sound.
"Get out of the way right now, or I'll take you all back to the base for questioning on charges of obstructing official business."
The scene fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone stared at Lin Ze in disbelief.
All the Blood Eagle members, including Mu Jinpeng, had only one thought in their minds—how dare this guy do that?
In this situation, how dare he openly mock and threaten Mu Yuan?
Aren't you afraid of dying?
Mu Yuan's face instantly turned extremely gloomy, and his cold, venomous gaze was fixed on Lin Ze.
"Okay, very good."
He spoke slowly and deliberately, his voice so cold it seemed to freeze the air.
"As expected of someone who killed the former team leader to take over, he certainly has more guts than the average person."
"But I'd like to see how you're going to stop me today!"
"Jin Peng, Lu Kai, come here."
Mu Jinpeng finally snapped out of his shock, his astonishment instantly turning into disdain.
I was almost intimidated by this kid's imposing manner.
He didn't have the guts or the strength to attack Blood Eagle's people; he was just bluffing.
With a cold snort, Mu Jinpeng shoved Zhuang Yi aside and strode confidently toward Mu Yuan.
Lu Kai also breathed a sigh of relief, gave Lin Ze a meaningful glance, and followed suit.
Tang Wangshu and Zhuang Yi glared at the two men, but dared not make a move. They could only stand there and watch helplessly as the two men walked away.
When Mu Jinpeng passed by Lin Ze, he deliberately slowed down, wanting to enjoy Lin Ze's embarrassed expression.
But what came into view was Lin Ze's still calm and expressionless face, and his unfathomable eyes.
His eyes held that familiar look that had chilled him to the bone not long ago.
And at this moment, the same feeling welled up in my heart again.
This guy... he wouldn't actually dare to...
Just as a startled thought flashed through Mu Jinpeng's mind, a sharp sword cry suddenly rang in his ears!
A dazzling silver streak of light sliced through the air, so fast that its trajectory was completely obscured.
"You dare!"
Mu Yuan's angry shout suddenly rang out.
But the shout to stop him came a beat too late.
Mu Jinpeng felt a chill on his neck, and all his strength vanished instantly like a flood bursting its banks, causing him to collapse forward uncontrollably.
The moment his head slammed onto the bluestone slab, he vaguely saw out of the corner of his eye a black python as thick as a bucket leap out of the shadows beneath Mu Yuan's feet, shooting towards Lin Ze with a stench, only to be cleaved in two by the latter with a single sword stroke, its foul-smelling blood splattering all over the ground.
"This madman..."
This was the last thought that flashed through Mu Jinpeng's mind before his consciousness sank completely into boundless darkness.
"Mu Jinpeng resisted arrest and was shot dead on the spot."
Lin Ze's calm voice rang out in the deathly silent street, as if he had only done something insignificant.
Everyone was stunned by what they saw, their eyes wide with disbelief.
They never expected that Lin Ze would actually dare to make a move, and that his first move would be a killing blow, killing Mu Jinpeng without hesitation right in front of Mu Yuan!
This is a blatant slap in the face to Mu Yuan!
However, Lin Ze completely ignored everyone's reactions and turned his gaze directly to Lu Kai.
The latter was staring at the corpse on the ground in horror. When he noticed Lin Ze's gaze, he was so frightened that he screamed and ran wildly toward Mu Yuan.
"Vice President, help me!"
Clang!
The sword light flashed again, heading straight for Lu Kai's back like a shooting star.
Mu Yuan was furious. The shadow beneath his feet writhed wildly, and a giant python, several times larger than before, suddenly rushed out. Its scales gleamed with a cold metallic luster. The twisted, black snake body swept past Lu Kai, opened its blood-red maw, and bit down hard on Lin Ze with a strong, pungent stench!
Even from several meters away, Tang Wangshu and Zhuang Yi could feel the fierce aura emanating from them, and their expressions changed simultaneously.
Lin Ze, however, remained calm and composed, and with a slight thought, he activated two skills simultaneously!
Lightning speed! Blood frenzy!
A burning sense of power instantly swept through his body, like magma surging through his meridians, and his five-dimensional attributes surged dramatically at this moment.
The next second, a piercing sound of something cutting through the air suddenly erupted.
A dense array of silvery-white sword lights surged forth like a sudden storm, instantly enveloping the giant python's figure!
Clang!
In an instant, countless sparks exploded on the giant python's body. Its seemingly indestructible scales rapidly shattered and crumbled under the continuous sword light, revealing the scarlet flesh beneath.
In the blink of an eye, the giant python's body was covered with countless tiny wounds, and it let out a mournful hiss, instinctively retreating backward.
Its retreat completely exposed Lu Kai's back to Lin Ze.
A cold glint flashed in Lin Ze's eyes, his longsword paused slightly, and then he slashed out fiercely!
Sword draw and slash!
A pure, silvery-white sword light, as clear as fresh snow in early winter, flashed past everyone's eyes.
Lu Kai, who was running wildly, suddenly froze, his face still frozen with astonishment, fear, and a trace of bewilderment that he hadn't had time to process.
The next second, a fountain of blood shot up from the severed neck, and his head rolled to the ground, finally stopping at Mu Yuan's feet, his empty eyes staring intently at him.
A deathly silence descended upon the scene once more.
Everyone stared blankly at the scene before them, their mouths dry, their mouths agape, unable to recover for a long time.
Mu Yuan's face was horribly ashen, and the veins on his forehead throbbed.
Mu Jinpeng's death could be attributed to his not expecting Lin Ze to dare to make a move, and being caught off guard and unable to stop him.
When Lin Ze made his second move, he clearly had enough time to react and even personally intervened to stop him, but he still failed to save Lu Kai.
These two attacks by Lin Ze completely humiliated him!
Since becoming the vice president of Blood Eagle, when has he ever suffered such a humiliation?
It's all because of a callow youth!
A burning rage seared Mu Yuan's chest, causing him pain. He abruptly looked up, his gaze fixed on Lin Ze, his eyes surging with undisguised ruthlessness and murderous intent.
Just as he was about to unleash his full power to kill Lin Ze, a deep shout suddenly came from the direction of the camp:
"Stop, Mu Yuan!"
