Chapter 374 Shooting

This was not an illusion. There was indeed some abnormality in the gravedigger's body. His fingers and head were twitching, and the twitching was getting more and more violent, as if he would wake up again in the next second.

The painter's face suddenly became terribly gloomy, as if water was almost dripping out of it.

He stretched out a pale, bloodless hand. This hand was very special, as if it was painted. It did not look real and there was no trace of color on it.

Then, the painter removed the coffin nails, and the gravedigger opened his eyes instantly, as if he had just fallen asleep. A cold breath was spreading, as if a real evil spirit was reviving.

"That's enough. Put away your momentum. The other party has left."

The painter didn't even raise his eyelids, but just stared at the coffin nails in his hand.

"Painter, there's something wrong with this coffin nail."

The gravedigger thought for a moment and said.

"I can clearly feel that this coffin nail cannot completely suppress the supernatural power in my body. In comparison, the blood lake is more frightening. The reason why I can't move is that I am suppressed by the blood lake to a greater extent."

The gravedigger's words confirmed the painter's guess and made him feel ashamed. For a moment, the atmosphere was so depressing that it was a little scary. No one dared to speak for fear of angering the painter.

"Check his background. Since he claims to be Zhang Xuan's colleague, he should also be a captain at the headquarters."

"Also, tell the butcher and the projectionist to execute the hunting plan as soon as daybreak. I will arrange for another guy to temporarily replace me."

The painter's tone was indifferent, but those who knew him well knew that he was suppressing his anger.

"Disband. A king's meeting will be held in Turin, Italy in three days."

After saying this, the painter's figure quickly faded, and finally disappeared on the spot, leaving the other kings looking at each other with complicated expressions.

"My friends, the horn of war has been sounded. Unfortunately, there will never be a winner in this war."

The cowboy put away the old double-barreled shotgun, opened his den and left.

"Everyone, please think about this carefully."

The missionary then left the scene.

……

In Dajin City, Cao Yang brought Zhang Xuan's body back to the Beichen Building where he had been away for a long time. However, he did not stay here, but turned around and went to the headquarters of Dajing City.

"It's a pity that if the headquarters had arranged more personnel earlier, Zhang Xuan wouldn't have been surrounded and killed."

Cao Yanhua smiled bitterly, regretting his and the headquarters' original decision.

"Unfortunately, I was a step too late. The other side sent out six kings, and there was probably another king hiding in the dark. I only killed one king, and then ran away with Zhang Xuan's body."

As he spoke, a pool of blood appeared under Cao Yang's feet. Several hands used each other's strength to push Mrs. Mary's body out.

"You killed a king?"

Cao Yanhua subconsciously took a few steps back. He knew very well that the king's strength was comparable to or even exceeded that of a captain-level ghost rider. Even if this corpse only leaked a little bit of supernatural power, it would be quite deadly to ordinary people.

"To be exact, there were two of them, codenamed Lady Mary and Gravedigger. However, I exchanged the Gravedigger for Zhang Xuan's body and a coffin nail."

After hearing what Cao Yang said, Cao Yanhua noticed that there was a rusty coffin nail on Zhang Xuan's chest.

"If it weren't for the coffin nail, Zhang Xuan wouldn't have been defeated so quickly, and I wouldn't have been so late."

Cao Yanhua nodded. The King's Organization had already deployed strategic-level supernatural items such as coffin nails. Zhang Xuan's death was not unjust. Although it was a pity, he had to admit the fact.

"The headquarters will immediately arrange for a lavish burial for Zhang Xuan, and his relatives will enjoy the highest level of treatment in the future. As for Madam Mary's body, just keep it in custody."

"By the way, uncle, it's better to put my plan of going abroad to kill the king on hold. The King's organization has formulated the Noah's Ark Plan to attract all the supernatural events and ghosts abroad to our country."

"If the information about the king's death is released, if the other party implements the Ark plan in advance, I am afraid that the country will be completely unable to organize effective response and defense measures." Cao Yang stroked his chin and expressed his concerns. The captain's meeting has not been held yet, and the law enforcement captain has not been determined. At present, the country lacks an open leader. Although each captain may be strong enough, it is impossible to stop the other party's sneak attack and siege.

"I understand. This matter will be kept secret for the time being. I will arrange for Zhang Xuan's burial. You can take the coffin nail."

Cao Yanhua's expression instantly became solemn. Cao Yang had made it very clear that the other party would most likely become furious because of the murder of their two kings, and would directly implement the Ark Plan. Given the madness of those ghost riders abroad, they were fully capable of doing such a thing.

"Deputy Minister, Yang Jian is back."

At this time, Shen Liang knocked on the office door and said outside.

"Let's go and meet him, and visit Professor Wang while we're at it."

Cao Yanhua patted Cao Yang on the shoulder and walked out first.

In the ward, Yang Jian's face did not look very good. His whole body revealed a very dangerous aura, and his eyes were as sharp and fierce as an eagle.

"Rights and obligations are equal. I only need to take what I deserve. I don't care what decisions the headquarters makes or what they want to do in the future."

Yang Jian looked calm, as if he was talking about something insignificant.

"Okay, from now on, nothing can restrain you except our supervisory captain."

As he spoke, Wang Xiaoming's eyes fell on Cao Yang.

"All supernatural items and collections in the headquarters are at your disposal. From now on, you will have the final say in this supernatural era."

Wang Xiaoming lay back, like a dying man speaking his last wish.

"But I have one last request, I wonder if you can satisfy me."

Just after lying down, Wang Xiaoming forced himself to sit up slowly.

"any request?"

Yang Jian frowned. He didn't know why Wang Xiaoming suddenly said such meaningless words.

"Kill you and avenge my brother."

A cold expression flashed across Wang Xiaoming's thin face. He quickly pulled out a cold, dark pistol from under the pillow and pulled the trigger at Yang Jian without hesitation.

"boom--!"

Seven gunshots rang out in succession, all hitting Yang Jian's body and head, but no blood flowed out, only cold lake water gurgling out.

"Professor Wang——!"

The brief silence was replaced by everyone's astonishment. Except for Cao Yang and Yang Jian, the expressions on everyone else's faces became very complicated.

At this time, Wang Xiaoming laughed, a very miserable laugh, and at the same time he began to cough violently. The emotions that had been suppressed for a long time burst out at this moment, which was not a good thing for him.

"Professor Wang……"

Cao Yanhua was about to speak, but was stopped by the other party who waved his hand weakly.

"You all go out, Yang Jian and I want to be alone for a while."

Wang Xiaoming held the gun tightly in his other hand, his face looking scary pale.

Everyone had no choice but to leave the ward temporarily, leaving only Yang Jian and Wang Xiaoming inside.

"Deputy Minister, this..."

Shen Liang hesitated to speak. He really couldn't understand the meaning of Wang Xiaoming's actions.
