My Wife, The Ice Queen President

Chapter 397: Destroying the Helicopter (Second Update)_1

But movies are just for fun, here, a slight mistake can mean death.

Zhang Liyan’s palms were sweating profusely, and her legs felt so weak that she barely managed to take a step forward.

At the crucial moment, Ye Xiong’s voice rang out again, “Stay calm, keep your distance from him.”

Following Ye Xiong’s orders, Zhang Liyan walked towards Kassoff and kept her distance, avoiding any chance for him to capture her.

Just as they passed by each other, Zhang Liyan suddenly saw a figure flash by.

...

Before she could react, Ye Xiong had tackled her to the ground.

Behind them, countless gunshots erupted.

Ye Xiong, holding Zhang Liyan, rolled and shot simultaneously, firing six bullets, each hitting its mark, instantly killing six villains.

“Let’s go.”

Kassoff led the remaining personnel in a swift retreat, having lost the will to fight.

The Reaper was too powerful; Ghost’s men didn’t know how many had died at his hands, and Kassoff wasn’t conceited enough to think he could compete.

The direction they retreated towards was the ceiling.

Ye Xiong guessed there might be a helicopter on the roof.

His guess was correct; just as Kassoff scattered towards the upper floor, the sound of a helicopter starting up came from the rooftop.

“Find a place to hide, be careful.”

Ye Xiong let go of Zhang Liyan and tossed a magazine, which landed with precision into the handgun mid-air. The whole process was smooth and effortless, incredibly stylish.

After loading the magazine, he quickly pursued the escaping group, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Liyan was completely dumbfounded and finally managed to utter two words, “So cool!”

She had thought the masters in movies didn’t exist, that they were just acting, but the man’s movements just now had completely overturned her view.

Whether it was the way he had tackled her, the way he held her while rolling on the ground, or the firing of the gun during the roll.

Such skills definitely belonged to a master.

The rolling and firing moves he performed just now would take countless takes to perfect in a movie, and even then, it would require editing.

Not to mention his mid-air reloading move; such a maneuver would be impossible to achieve even after a thousand tries. There’s only one method, reverse playback. Using the footage of ejecting a magazine and playing it in reverse to mimic loading a magazine—there’s no other way.

Zhang Liyan was utterly captivated, conquered by the man’s actions, even forgetting her fear.

Ye Xiong chased upwards from the staircase, Kassoff fled with his remaining six henchmen, and during the chase, Ye Xiong took out two of them, leaving only four.

“Suppressive fire, don’t let him come up,” Kassoff yelled.

The four henchmen crazily fired their guns towards the staircase, their dense bullets turning the whole stairwell into a smoky chaos.

Such concentrated gunfire was impassable unless one had a death wish.

Ye Xiong took cover in the corner of the fourth floor, feeling a sense of urgency.

This time Kassoff wasn’t with Long Lan or Mr. M; it was the perfect opportunity to kill him. If he let him escape now, it would be much harder next time.

After pondering for a moment, he opened a room on the fourth floor and pushed open the window.

Next to it was a drainpipe.

Ye Xiong rapidly climbed up the drainpipe.

Before he even reached the rooftop, the strong wind from the helicopter blades made it impossible for him to open his eyes.

Kassoff was about to board the helicopter when Ye Xiong jumped up, firing three shots in succession, all hitting Kassoff—one in the stomach, one in the shoulder, and one in the thigh.

Kassoff hadn’t expected Ye Xiong to appear suddenly and suffered a significant loss.

By this time, the four criminals had also reacted and were preparing to fight back.

Ye Xiong certainly wouldn’t give them the chance. The remaining three bullets took down three men; the last one was directly hit by his flying dagger, which embedded itself in the neck.

At this point, not a single one of Kassoff’s men was alive.

“Kassoff, even the heavens aren’t giving you a chance. Prepare to die!”

Ye Xiong had run out of bullets and was rapidly charging towards Kassoff.

Kassoff suddenly took out a bomb from his body and threw it into the stairwell after activating it.

“The bomb will detonate in thirty seconds. With its power, the entire building will collapse. Come capture me if you dare; if you do, you won’t have time to save anyone.”

As he spoke, Kassoff, dragging his injured body, began to climb into the plane.

Ye Xiong was reluctant, but at this moment, saving people was the priority. Otherwise, many would die, including Xiao Fangfang.

He dashed towards the stairs at high speed.

“Reaper, no matter how powerful you are, in the end, you still let me escape. I haven’t lost. I’ve already received the transfers from over twenty people, amounting to several hundred million. I can go back and settle accounts. Just wait—you’ll see, I’ll settle this score with you properly next time.” Kassoff laughed heartily.

As his laughter echoed, the helicopter took off and left.

Ye Xiong searched in the dust-filled stairwell and soon found the timed bomb, with only eight seconds left on the clock.

Sly bastard, he set the timer for not thirty seconds, but only twenty.

This kind of bomb was known as an MI bomb, extremely powerful; if it exploded on the roof, the people on the third floor would definitely not be spared.

Unfortunately, there was too little time to defuse it.

Ye Xiong made it to the rooftop. The helicopter was already tens of meters off the ground, and Kassoff was laughing loudly aboard it.

“Reaper, have a good time figuring out what to do with the gift I’ve left you!”

The smug voice drifted through the air.

With only four seconds left, Ye Xiong roared and transformed, his arms growing thicker.

In his normal state, throwing the bomb wouldn’t have enough strength. But after the transformation, that was another story.

His thick fist tightly gripped the bomb, and with Ye Xiong’s beastly roar during the transformation, the bomb was thrown out.

In the night, the bomb streaked out, fast and furious.

“Four, three, two, one, boom!”

The bomb exploded midair, and the massive sound shattered all the glass within a hundred meters.

The helicopter’s tail was blown off. It spiraled momentarily in midair before crashing down in the middle of the road and exploding.

In such circumstances, even if Kassoff were Superman, he wouldn’t have a chance of surviving.

Ye Xiong lay on the ground, coughing desperately, enduring the side effects of the transformation.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, he quickly took out the Silver Needle and jabbed it into several major acupoints on his body.

He wanted to see if the Nine Acupoint Divine Needles had any alleviating effect on the pain experienced by a Gene Warrior.

After the Silver Needle was inserted, Ye Xiong clearly felt the pain in his body diminish significantly.

Five minutes later, the pain finally subsided, and Ye Xiong was almost completely drained of strength.

“Why is it that with more transformations, not only does the duration of the side effects become longer, but even the time it takes to recover strength is getting longer and longer?”

“It seems that from now on, unless it’s a matter of life and death, I absolutely cannot transform again.”

Phoenix had once warned him of this, but he hadn’t taken it seriously. Now, he couldn’t afford to ignore it any longer.

Dragging his weary body, Ye Xiong slowly walked down the stairs.
