I actually didnt expect this kind of thing to happen. The other party didn't care what I had to say, nor did they give a chance to delay the ti. The bullet was shot out directly and pushed into the abyss.
Boss Jiao was really a mans man. He just wanted to die and wasnt even thinking of humiliating . My grandfather said that the only ones in this world who could live a long life were those who were extrely selfless, or those who were extrely selfish. Most peoples lives were worn down because of their own conscience. You could either hold everything in your hands tightly and be satisfied with what you had, or you could open your hands to the whole world and let it possess you. All you got in exchange for worrying about gains and losses was aningless waste. Boss Jiao appeared to be the kind of person who was extrely selfish and got impatient when he wanted sothing.
When I felt the pain in my heart, I realized that it was almost as if I had been waiting for this mont. Maybe I should have experienced this mont when I was in the Seven Star Lu Palace, but because of various reasons, I had lived to the present, which was longer than many of those who should have lived for a long ti. When many people died, I often asked myself why it wasnt . I always thought that I shouldve been the one to die. I never really thought about it until now, but what exactly gave so many opportunities?
I don't have to think about it now.
The safety ropes rushed past as I fell through the air. But just when I thought I would pass by Xiao Hua and the Wang family mbers and fall into the abyss, soone suddenly reached out and grabbed .
It was Xiao Hua. He stretched out his blood-covered hand and grabbed , his blood dripping down onto my face. I couldn't see his facial expression clearly because of the backlight, but his hands grabbed in a vice-like grip.
There was an echo in my ear that seed to co from the halo of light overhead, and I heard Boss Jiao shout, "Cut the rope! These people are useless! Hurry down!"
I heard a Wang family mber shout, "There are still three killers nearby! You shot too early!"
"I dont care! Why are you so scared? As long as Wu Xie is dead, what are you afraid of?" Boss Jiao continued to shout from above.
I heard one of the Wang family mbers mutter from nearby, If Wu Xie dies, were likely to have an accident.
At this ti, I felt Xiao Huas hand that was holding onto start to tremble. "Let go," I said to him. "Its hopeless for , but they can still save you."
Xiao Hua didn't speak, but I felt sothing in his hand squeezing into my palm. I tried to look at his face, but I couldn't see it clearly because of the backlight. Then, he suddenly turned his body, let go, and kicked in my chest. I imdiately felt a sharp pain. From this position, he kicked directly to the opposite side of the tower wall, which was full of those leather figurines.
I flew halfway across the tower, fell on the wall, and scrambled to grab onto sothing. But the only things I managed to grab were those leather figurines. I rolled down four or five stories, causing all of them to fall down with . My hands eventually caught on a niche, stopping my descent.
I went to check my heart.
I was shot in the heart, so I definitely wouldnt be able to move now if theres a hole. I looked down at my chest. For so reason, the bullet got stuck on my ribs, but didnt penetrate. I touched the hard lump of the bullet, pulled on it hard, and yanked it out.
It was still very painful, but it was basically just a scratch. I figured that the rib that had been hit was probably cracked since it hurt every ti I took a deep breath.
I was still illuminated by the light above, but none of Wang family mbers shot at . All I could hear was Boss Jiao shouting, "Why didn't he die?! Kill him!"
None of the Wang family mbers shot, and we continued to face off like this. I didn't know why at first, but when I looked carefully, I found that there was a huge depression in the tower wall behind the niche I had caught just now. Inside, there was a giant golden armored corpse wrapped in gold silk.
Another Daolu General.
I raised my hand and looked at it. When Xiao Hua had grabbed just now, he handed sothing. I looked at it and found that it was a copper coin.

I left the authors note to explain how Wu Xie went from getting shot in the heart to only having his rib get grazed by the bullet.
