Chapter 60

The second shot, Brother Tao was determined to succeed. As the bullet shot out of the barrel, a smug smile even appeared on his face, which, combined with the blood all over his face, made him look particularly sinister under the glow of the gunfire.

But the smile froze on his face as soon as it appeared.

Brother Tao only saw a small black object flash before his eyes, followed by a slight sound from the side. He looked over and saw a bullet deeply embedded in the wall, leaving only a small protrusion on the outside. On the ground at the corner of the wall, a small black pebble had fallen.

What!?

The scene before him made Brother Tao's eyelids twitch, and then a wave of shock surged in his heart.

Clearly, someone had thrown a pebble to intercept the bullet mid-air and even forced it to change its trajectory, shooting into the side wall!

The speed of a bullet is generally three to four hundred meters per second. At such a high speed and such a short distance, it could be said that the bullet would hit its target as soon as the gun was fired. But someone could actually throw a pebble from the side to intercept it mid-air! How precise the technique, how great the force, and how fast the speed must be!?

A sense of foreboding rose in Brother Tao's heart, and beads of sweat the size of peas appeared on his forehead. Then, a tangible and overwhelming killing aura surged from outside the villa, instantly enveloping him, making his heart tremble uncontrollably.

It's him, that terrifying man has returned!

It's over.

This was the only thought in Brother Tao's mind, and he looked at the door with a face ashen as death.

Panzzi also stared in shock at the bullet embedded in the wall, feeling as if he were watching a movie. What the hell, this is possible!?

"Bang!"

The villa's door shattered, and a figure burst in, leaving afterimages as it instantly appeared in the room.

"How do you want to die?"

A voice as dark as the abyss echoed in Brother Tao's and Panzzi's ears.

"You... you...!"

Brother Tao and Panzzi's eyes widened in terror as they looked at the man who had appeared before them.

"Daddy... Daddy... sniff sniff..."

Qiqi, with tears streaming down her face, saw Lin Fan appear and immediately burst into tears, reaching out her chubby little arms for a hug.

Lin Fan smiled at Qiqi and gently comforted her, "Qiqi, be good. Daddy is here, and he won't let anyone hurt you."

Daddy's warm smile and gentle words made Qiqi feel very safe. She nodded her little head, stopped crying, but the tears still clung to her long eyelashes, making her look very pitiful.

Seeing his beloved daughter so sad and with a faint scratch on her face, Lin Fan's anger erupted like a volcano, the air around him instantly freezing, and the temperature in the room dropped. Panzzi couldn't help but shiver, his heart trembling with fear.

Lin Fan's aura locked onto Panzzi and Brother Tao, his anger transforming into an overwhelming killing aura that surrounded them. He had recognized these two from the video surveillance a few minutes earlier; they were the three bodyguards who had come with Wang Chao to cause trouble!

At the time, he had held back and not used his full strength, but they had dared to target Qiqi, seeking their own death.

Damn!

These were three external martial artists, three who had come from the underground boxing ring, three who had been through countless battles and had blood on their hands. To ordinary people, they might be killing demons, insurmountable mountains, and devils from hell. But to Lin Fan, they were just ants.

A dragon would never pay attention to ants, but if the ants dared to touch the dragon's scales, they would face a tragic end.

"Let go of my daughter, and I'll let you die with your bodies intact." Lin Fan narrowed his eyes and said calmly.

Seeing Lin Fan return, Xiaoshuai whimpered, transformed back to his original form, and lightly jumped to Lin Fan's feet, never taking his eyes off Qiqi. He knew that with the master back, the little master would be safe.

"Don't let go!" Brother Tao, in a panic, shouted at Panzzi, his hands trembling as he gripped the gun, the muzzle wavering as it pointed at Lin Fan. "Don't move! Your daughter is in our hands! I know you're strong, but I don't believe you can be faster than a bullet!"

Saying this, Brother Tao quickly aimed the gun at Qiqi in Panzzi's arms: "If you move, I'll shoot!"

Lin Fan smiled, showing a mouth full of white teeth, and said slowly, "You're playing with fire. Very well, really very well. You won't leave here today, not a single one of you will survive!"

Brother Tao had already thrown caution to the wind. He knew that if they fell into Lin Fan's hands, they would either die or be severely injured. The only card that could save him was Qiqi!

"Let us go! We promise not to harm your daughter!"

Lin Fan slowly shook his head.

Brother Tao's eyes were bloodshot, and he pressed the gun to Qiqi's forehead, shouting, "Did you hear me! Let us go! Or I'll shoot her!"

Seeing Qiqi's smooth little forehead turn red from the gun's pressure, Lin Fan's lips twitched, and his heart clenched. He slightly lowered his head, his eyes staring up at Brother Tao, and said in a low voice, "Look into my eyes..."

"Don't talk nonsense..."

Brother Tao instinctively looked into Lin Fan's eyes and saw them transform into a sky full of stars, making him lose himself in them. He stopped talking halfway through.

"Brother Tao, what's wrong?"

Panzzi instinctively sensed something was off with Brother Tao and frowned, shouting at him, but Brother Tao didn't respond.

"Brother Tao!"

Panzzi shouted again.

"Kill him!"

This was Lin Fan's shout, and he infused a bit of true qi into it, making it sound like an imperial edict to Brother Tao, compelling him to obey.

"Swish!"

Hearing this, Brother Tao instantly retracted the gun and, under Panzzi's incredulous gaze, aimed it at his forehead.

"Brother Tao, you..."

"Bang!"

Before Panzzi could finish his sentence, Brother Tao pulled the trigger, the bullet hitting Panzzi's forehead at close range, splattering blood all over Brother Tao's face.

A bloody hole instantly appeared on Panzzi's forehead, blood gushing out, and he fell backward with his eyes wide open.

He died with his eyes open.

The Soul Capturing Technique of Heavenly Derivation had worked again.

Just before Brother Tao fired, Lin Fan had flashed to Panzzi's side, taking Qiqi from his arms, and then flashed back to his original position.

This series of actions, though described in detail, actually took only a fraction of a second. By the time Lin Fan returned to his original position, Brother Tao's gun had just fired.

Lin Fan held Qiqi in his arms, covering her eyes so she wouldn't see the bloody scene.

"Daddy, wah, Qiqi is scared..."

Feeling her father's warm embrace again, Qiqi's emotions broke down, her chubby little arms tightly hugging Lin Fan, crying uncontrollably, her snot and tears quickly soaking Lin Fan's shirt.

Seeing his beloved daughter so scared, Lin Fan now only wanted to kill, to make those who had harmed Qiqi pay with their blood.

Lin Fan gently patted Qiqi's back and rocked her, "Qiqi, don't cry. Daddy is here. Daddy is a superhero and will protect you. No one will hurt you... Qiqi, go to sleep now. When you wake up, you'll forget everything..."

Lin Fan infused a bit of mental energy into his words, and Qiqi, listening to Lin Fan's gentle voice, gradually calmed down, her fear slowly dissipating, her eyelids drooping as sleepiness overcame her.

What happened today, not to mention a four-year-old child, would be enough to cause significant psychological trauma to an adult. In his rage, Lin Fan could only let Qiqi sleep to avoid further harm.

While comforting Qiqi, Lin Fan glanced down at Xiaoshuai. Xiaoshuai understood Lin Fan's meaning, bared his teeth, and stared at Brother Tao, who was still standing there in shock after firing the gun, his muscles tensed, ready to pounce and finish him off.

"Don't move!!"

At that moment, a sharp voice rang out.
