Very quickly, a few people walked out of the building.
Leading them were Li Qionghao and Wang Longhu.
"Mr. Wang, please stay at the White Lotus Society for a few more days. I’ve already sent people to investigate that girl from the Li family you mentioned. Once it’s confirmed that she is indeed of Li family blood,
I’ll immediately place her on the White Lotus Saint Emperor’s throne." Li Qionghao looked at the sky, feeling both gratified and wistful.
The first thing he did when he escaped from underground was to take the eunuch Jin Bao to find Li Jing’Er and rescue the poor member of the Li family.
But unexpectedly, he was a step too late; Li Jing’Er had already died on the island.
She was trapped on that island, living in squalid conditions with a severe lack of food, and her body couldn’t hold on any longer.
After meeting Wang Longhu, she deceived him into agreeing to kill Jiang Xuanhe for her, and mentally she couldn’t hold on anymore.
The dual impact of physical and mental pressures led to Li Jing’Er’s death on that island.
Li Qionghao was very sad, but there was nothing he could do.
Now Jiang Tianzhen and Jiang Xuanhe from the Jiang family are both dead, and even if he wanted revenge, there’s no target to aim at.
Now that he is of an advanced age, even though he is a Gang Qi Grandmaster, he has little interest in the position of White Lotus Saint Emperor.
If he can place a member of the Li family in the White Lotus Saint Emperor’s position, it would be the only thing that could bring him comfort now.
"Alright." Wang Longhu nodded in agreement.
Suddenly, his expression changed drastically, and he scanned around with a serious gaze, instantly darting to the side.
But a rapidly approaching figure still pierced through Wang Longhu’s shoulder, producing a dazzling blood spray.
Li Qionghao’s eyes widened in disbelief, "Sniper!"
The thing Wang Longhu had always feared eventually happened.
A sniper from 1000 meters or even 2000 meters away was something he couldn’t possibly deal with.
Luckily, his Spirit has now reached 20.00, with perception and reaction reaching an absolute peak.
He was able to detect the incoming bullet and react in time to dodge it.
Otherwise, any Gang Qi Grandmaster would have been directly shot in the head by that shot, with no chance to rescue.
Wang Longhu fell to the ground, pushing himself off with his hands.
His whole body spring-boarded off the ground, hiding beneath the White Lotus statue.
From the sniper’s bullet direction, this White Lotus statue perfectly obstructed their line of sight.
Li Qionghao and the eunuch Jin Bao reacted quickly as well, seeing Wang Longhu shot, they all sought cover to hide.
Even though a Gang Qi Grandmaster is invincible within fifty meters and isn’t afraid of guns.
But beyond this distance, they also can’t compete with modern firearms.
The power of a sniper rifle’s bullet can penetrate even cement walls, let alone a human body.
Even a Gang Qi Grandmaster is still made of flesh and blood.
Wang Longhu only felt a jolt from the jade statue, it had taken a bullet.
Calmly assessing the current situation, he determined that if he could locate the sniper’s hideout, he could swiftly go over and succeed in decapitation.
Then at that moment, Wang Longhu’s expression changed dramatically, the back of his head went cold, and he quickly jerked back, retreating backwards.
He saw a half-meter long shadow flying from afar, shooting directly at where he had been hiding from the sniper.
The White Lotus statue was instantly blasted into countless fragments, scattered everywhere. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs nοvelfire.net
The only cover on the square was completely destroyed, leaving Wang Longhu as exposed as a rabbit on the open plain.
In the unseen sky above, an unidentified hawk was eyeing him, ready to strike a fatal blow at any moment.
"RPG!" Wang Longhu shouted as he ran, eyes wide with shock.
Who would have thought that after killing Jiang Xuanhe and Jiang Tianzhen, someone would dare use such force within the White Lotus Society headquarters to kill him.
Simultaneously, from all directions of the square, over a hundred people suddenly rushed out, each armed with a submachine gun, launching a barrage at Wang Longhu.
In an instant, with snipers and RPGs in the shadows and submachine guns in plain sight, Wang Longhu was driven into a desperate situation.
Firearms are always the greatest threat to a Martial Artist in this world.
"Damn it!" Wang Longhu cursed, it was the first time since he started practicing martial arts that he encountered such a life-threatening situation.
If he failed to handle it well, he could be riddled with bullets and turned into a honeycomb.
At this critical moment, Wang Longhu directly slammed his foot axe-like onto the ground.
A crack spread quickly, prying up a large rock.
Seeing this, Wang Longhu raised his hands and lifted a three-meter-long stone slab in front of him, using it as a shield against the oncoming bullets.
But this was not a long-term solution, after all, the opponent had RPGs, and one RPG shot could easily destroy the stone slab.
Wang Longhu carried the stone slab and charged towards the building at high speed.
As expected, within seconds, an RPG hit the surface of the stone slab.
The explosive force instantly blew Wang Longhu away, smashing him into the building.
"Cough!" Wang Longhu coughed out a mouthful of blood, feeling as if his internal organs had been displaced by the blast.
Li Qionghao, with the eunuch Jin Bao, followed into the building. Wang Longhu grabbed Li Qionghao by the collar, shouting, "Li Qionghao! Tell me what the hell is going on, I need a reasonable explanation."
