Chapter 654: Chapter Forty: Pretending to be a Fool Without Going Mad (Part Three) Chapter 654: Chapter Forty: Pretending to be a Fool Without Going Mad (Part Three) Ji Chai’s expression was completely hidden behind his sunglasses. He calmly loaded his gun, flicked off the safety, and aimed at Zhan Guzai, but before he could fire, a pair of hands reached from below to grip the pistol. The barrel lost its aim and the shot hit the ceiling.

It was Du Yanbiao.

Zhan Guzai didn’t hesitate for a second before turning to run.

Although Du Yanbiao was shot in the chest, he still clung to Ji Chai’s arm with all his might, veins bulging on his face.

It took Ji Chai two or three seconds to shake off Du Yanbiao. He then fired another shot into his forehead. By the time he looked up again, Zhan Guzai had rushed out the door. Ji Chai raised his gun and chased after him relentlessly, rushing out as well.

Some people, seeing what happened, hurried to escape while others crouched under tables, trembling in fear, not excluding Lu. He even kept tugging at the unmoving Li Yan’s sleeve, signaling him to crouch down quickly.

Li Yan remained indifferent. He wasn’t concerned about Ji Chai chasing after Zhan Guzai but looked around at the chaos as if searching for someone.

“What a failure,” Wenle muttered from his hiding spot, feigning protection like the others. He watched with interest as Zhan Guzai ran out of Chinatown, his face covered in blood, but didn’t intend to intervene personally.

The Myriad Assembly of Humanity’s Prime had the ability to create magical artifacts with unique powers using the Four Pillars of Destiny and materials with strong spiritual essence, and there were many types of such artifacts. “Sheep Blade Corpse Puppet Needle” was one of them.

It only needed to be stabbed into the corresponding acupoint based on the Life Fiend to make the person obey one’s commands. The downside was that the host would die after eight hours due to exhaustion of their potential. Of course, according to Wenle’s plan, he wouldn’t need that long. As soon as Ji Chai killed Zhan Guzai, he would have Ji Chai swallow his gun and commit suicide, making it look like a gang vendetta and escape in the chaos.

Xue Wenhai had at least a hundred such artifacts made by the Myriad Assembly of Humanity’s Prime. He even had Wenle and Wutou Qing sell half-finished products in secret, using it as a means to collect more Four Pillars of Destiny spirits. Chen Zhengcong’s Six Calamities Ghost was obtained this way.
