"Spare me, and I'll give you all my wealth!"
"Help~"
The screams rose and fell, echoing from all directions, each scream signifying the loss of a life.
Cao Han had no psychological barriers when dealing with these people whose hands were stained with countless amounts of blood; every strike was a fatal one.
In fact, before those people realized they were under the shadow of death and begged for mercy, they did not discover that they were already dead.
It's just that Cao Han acted too quickly, and their brains hadn't yet received the signal of "death".
Cao Han's greatest act of kindness was to leave these people with intact corpses in the end.
Look at this treatment! Even the high and mighty White King couldn't enjoy it.
Under the astonished gazes of Lucy Pallas and Finger, everyone, whether they surfaced or remained hidden, died at his hands.
"Junior, junior, he was too ruthless...too decisive. Σ(っ°Д°;)っ"
If she remembered correctly, the junior who always seemed to be smiling was only eighteen years old, just turning eighteen.
Lucy Pallas recalls the most decisive thing she did when she was eighteen...
Perhaps it was her resolute choice to choose Kassel College despite her family's objections that exhausted her already limited courage!
If a forensic examiner were to autopsy these bodies, they would discover that all of them died in the exact same way: ruptured hearts.
Fingel appeared unfazed, showing little surprise, or rather, he considered Cao Han's reaction to be perfectly normal.
Surely no one really thinks that someone who can devise a meticulous plan and single-handedly kill the mythical White Emperor is as harmless as he appears?
"Aren't you injured?"
“No.” Fingel ignored the bullet wound on his cheek.
He deliberately created a small opening after seeing the Vulcan Gatling gun appear in order to quickly eliminate the enemy sniper. In the split second, he dodged the enemy's shot and then killed him with a counter-shot.
Such a small wound doesn't even warrant his blinking; even if left unattended, it will heal completely in three days at most.
"I'm fine too." Seeing this, Lucy Pallas could only quietly put her two slender arms behind her back.
Little did he know that this little trick could not possibly escape Cao Han's keen observation. However, he did not directly expose the other party, but instead changed the subject and began to give Fingel some instructions:
"Senior, I'll contact Yuan Zhisheng to send someone to assist you in handling the situation. As for those I killed, if there are any bounties, you can take photos and upload them to Interpol."
Cao Han never expected that these mixed-race people would be so ruthless for 5 billion yen, daring to openly release their incantations in front of so many passersby.
The number of people is neither large nor small!
However, it would be troublesome and inefficient for Fingel to handle the matter alone, and it would be better for someone from the Snake-Hachi family to go out and handle matters such as contacting the relevant local authorities.
Fingel's face clearly indicates he's a foreigner, making it easy for him to escalate the incident into a diplomatic matter. The Snake Clan would then try to deflect the issue with flimsy excuses like a gangster feud or a special effects movie shoot.
Those who enjoy watching the excitement and are eager to film and upload videos to video websites have even less to worry about. Once sensitive words or content are triggered, Princess Kaguya of the Snake Clan will take immediate action to control the situation.
We will ensure that no further information related to hybrids or dragons is disseminated.
"Let's go, senior, let's go back to the hotel first."
The sharp-eyed Cao Han naturally noticed the marks on Lucy Pallas's arm caused by her opponent, but since she was too embarrassed to admit it, he had no choice but to say it himself.
Lucy Pallas blushed slightly and followed Cao Han back with her head down.
Just as the two were about to pass a corner...
You might find love around the corner, or you might encounter a little girl rushing out carrying a teddy bear, her exquisitely sculpted features making you instantly likable and wanting to hold her in your arms.
However, Cao Han thought differently.
The moment the little girl appeared, alarm bells went off in my head—a reaction that only occurs when you're incredibly close to danger.
Chapter 105 Serious Injury
Something is wrong!
Something is very wrong!
Cao Han never thought he was 100% invincible in the world of the Dragon Clan, but anything that could make him feel so threatened must not be something to worry about.
In the instant that alarm bells rang in my mind, the invisible zero-time domain enveloped me in a flash.
"Drip! Drip! Drip..."
A very faint timer sound came from behind the teddy bear in the little girl's arms. Cao Han noticed it and his expression changed drastically. He realized that there must be some kind of specially made time bomb inside the thing.
No time to think too much!
Cao Han snatched the teddy bear from the little girl's hand. Unable to determine the exact destructive power of the time bomb, he could only choose the option with the least damage.
He swung his arm with all his might and threw the teddy bear into the air.
boom--
Fortunately, the teddy bear wasn't very big, so even if a time bomb were stuffed inside, the explosive force wouldn't be too overwhelming, especially considering Cao Han's still incredibly powerful strength.
That one teddy bear was thrown hundreds of meters into the air before the explosion.
A deafening roar echoed through the air above Shibuya, the shockwave shattering almost all the windows of the surrounding high-rise buildings. Panic-stricken cries resounded throughout the buildings.
Based on current observations, apart from a very few unlucky individuals who were injured near the window, there appear to be no fatalities.
Just as Cao Han was about to lament that these inhuman guys could be so ruthless for the sake of a bounty, he first felt a chill run through his body, followed by a sharp pain in his heart.
Realizing what was happening, he raised the hand that had just grabbed the teddy bear and saw that his palm was now covered in bruises. Combined with the symptoms he was experiencing, it was clear that he had been poisoned!
"The bombs are just a cover; the real killer is the poison!"
Clearly, the other party was well-versed in human nature and knew that Cao Han would not stand idly by when he saw the little girl in danger, so he deliberately set a trap to poison her.
Moreover, this is likely not an ordinary poison, but an extremely potent mixed toxin that damages the heart of the victim while also having a paralyzing effect.
Even with Cao Han's formidable physique, he couldn't be completely immune, and at this moment, his body became weak under the influence of the toxins.
Everyone has their own area of expertise, and even poisons have their own specific applications.
A poison that only enhances one aspect may be more potent, but a mixture of poisons is the most troublesome. You can defend against one side but not the other. A normal person would choose to deal with the deadly toxin first, subconsciously ignoring the paralyzing effect that weakens the body.
This!
This is exactly what the mastermind behind this series of traps wanted to see.
Inside the familiar department store, the two figures, one tall and one short, one black and one white, were now reduced to the shorter white man squinting down, his eyes revealing undisguised pride in his "masterpiece."
Speaking of Hans, as a member of the "Hybrid Monarchs", he also possesses multiple Words of Power. In addition to the ability similar to prophecy, another Word of Power is called Deep Blood.
The effect of this Word of Power is actually more passive; the user's blood will be mixed with poison, and this poison can be continuously increased by injecting various toxins into their body.
The process is similar to raising a gu poison.
An unknown number of various toxins are mixed together, and when they remain in the blood, they form an extremely complex mixture of toxins, including both physical and psychological ones.
Relying on the effects of his two Words of Power, he always devised the plans in his collaborations with the Assassins, leaving the final, fatal blow to them.
At this moment, Assassin was standing less than 10 meters away from Cao Han, practically carrying a sniper rifle right in front of him. He didn't even need to adjust the magnification; he simply held the sinister muzzle of the rifle with one hand and aimed it at the poisoned Cao Han.
The magazine was just for show; in reality, the Philosopher's Stone bullet from the Gattuso family had already been loaded beforehand.
"The goddess of death told me: Your time to die has come!"
As devout followers of the goddess of death, the Assassins were accustomed to praying to their god before decisively pulling the trigger.
Driven by immense force, the crimson Philosopher's Stone bullet shot towards Cao Han, who appeared unsteady on his feet, like a streak of red light.
This scene is strikingly similar to the blurry vision that Lucy Pallas had described in the prophecy.
"Watch out for the junior student!!!"
Fingel was rushing downstairs to "clean up" the scene and didn't see what was happening, but he could tell from Lucy Pallas's shrill screams that something was very wrong, so he asked anxiously, "What's going on? Lucy Pallas."
All of this happened so fast, it seemed to happen in the blink of an eye.
From bumping into the little girl around the corner, to throwing a time bomb a hundred meters into the air in a moment of desperation, resulting in falling into a trap and being poisoned, to finally the Assassin shooting the Philosopher's Stone bullet right in front of him... the series of events was so interconnected that there was no chance to react.
Countless villains in movies, TV series, novels, and comics have used bloody lessons to illustrate a principle: aiming at the heart to kill someone is not necessarily safe. What if you really encounter a chosen one with dislocated heart or even a double heart?
Chopping off someone's head is a different story!
For anything that falls into the general biological category, cutting off its head almost always results in certain death!
This is the main reason why Cao Han always preferred to behead his enemies with a single, decisive stroke.
Clearly, the Assassins didn't understand this principle and only regarded Cao Han as having a normal human body structure, so this shot was aimed directly at Cao Han's heart.
"Do not!!!"
Lucy Pallas had never hated herself so much for being so...slow!
Even though they had clearly foreseen this scene, they still completely let their guard down because of Cao Han's incredible performance.
He lunged forward, wanting to use his frail body to shield Cao Han from the attack.
The attack was too close and too fast, and the movement was too slow and too late!
Perhaps even Hans, the owner of the Word of Power: Deep Blood, would not have imagined that Cao Han's physical abilities were so terrifying.
Once toxins penetrate the body through the skin, most toxins are eliminated by the body's own immune system before they even have a chance to take effect, while the remaining toxins continue to generate antibodies over time.
Cao Han felt that he would be completely healed in about six to five seconds.
To be honest, Cao Han wasn't worried at all when Assassin appeared with his sniper rifle. In the Time Zero domain, bullets and such posed no threat to him whatsoever.
The poisoning did not affect his ability to unleash his spiritual power.
An invisible domain fluctuation enveloped him. Just as Cao Han was calmly considering how to dodge the bullets and kill his opponent, he was surprised to find that the red streak of light was completely unaffected by the domain of the Word Spirit.
In such a critical moment, there was no time to think about the specific reasons.
Fortunately, there's always a way out. The Time Zero domain couldn't affect the bright red bullet; at least it could still affect him. Just before the bullet touched his skin, Cao Han controlled his body to veer slightly to the right...
Less than a centimeter away!
It was precisely this distance of less than one centimeter that allowed the bullet, originally aimed at the center of the heart, to graze the edge of the heart and pierce through Cao Han's body.
The projectile, forged from the Philosopher's Stone, was invincible against hybrids or pure-blooded dragons, but when it crashed into a concrete wall with its remaining force, it shattered into a pile of glass shards in the blink of an eye.
As long as his entire heart isn't completely shattered, given Cao Han's robust physical strength and powerful regenerative abilities, he only needs a period of rest to regain his vitality.
