268 The Celestial Lord Was Killed

The celestial lord’s gaze landed on Xia Zhixing again, and his eyes became extremely vicious. “You’re the one who’ll die… you b*tch. I’ll fulfill your wish today…” As the celestial lord spoke, he rushed toward Xia Zhixing.

Xia Zhixing looked at the celestial lord who was rushing toward her, and she had no intention of dodging. She even closed her eyes as if she had resigned herself to fate.

However, Xia Zhixing heard a muffled sound like something heavy had fallen to the ground. Xia Zhixing opened her eyes and looked over, only to see that the celestial lord, who had been charging at her a moment ago, was now lying on the ground. Seeing this, Xia Zhixing was very puzzled. How could this be? Could it be that the celestial lord was playing some tricks? However, he was not stupid. He knew that the chief had sent people to arrest him, so why was he still in the mood to put on an act with her? Did he have other trump cards, or did he think that the chief was not a threat?

“Celestial Lord!” Xia Zhixing roared in anger. “If you’re still a man, kill me directly! You don’t have to put on an act with me!” After Xia Zhixing finished yelling, she did not hear any response. It was only then that she suddenly realized that something was wrong. Just as Xia Zhixing was about to get up from the ground and take a look at the fallen celestial lord, she suddenly heard someone rushing over.

Not long after, a dozen people ran over and surrounded Xia Zhixing and the fallen celestial lord. Xia Zhixing heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the person’s face. “Captain Guan! You’re here!”

Guan Sheng walked over and helped Xia Zhixing up. “Are you alright? Are you hurt?”

Xia Zhixing shook her head. “I’m not injured. But the celestial lord…”

Before Xia Zhixing could finish her sentence, the person who had come forward to check on him had already spoken. “Captain, he’s not breathing.”

Guan Sheng furrowed his brows. “He’s dead?”

“He’s dead? How is that possible?” Xia Zhixing could not believe it and immediately walked toward the corpse of the celestial lord.

Guan Sheng followed behind her. He turned on a strong flashlight and shone it on the body of the celestial lord. Under the strong light, the celestial lord’s corpse was clearly seen.

There were bloodstains on the celestial lord’s chest, but the amount of bleeding was not much, so it was not a fatal injury. It should be the bloody hole in the back of his head that caused his death. Guan Sheng could tell at a glance that it was a gunshot wound. He looked at Xia Zhixing, “You killed him?”

Xia Zhixing shook her head. “I didn’t bring a gun.”

During this period, the celestial lord had been inseparable from Xia Zhixing, so she had no chance to bring a gun. Otherwise, if she was discovered by the celestial lord’s subordinates, she would die without even knowing how. “Did you see who fired the gun?” Guan Sheng continued to ask.

Xia Zhixing continued to shake her head. “I really don’t know. He wanted to kill me just now, and I didn’t intend to resist. However, after waiting for a while, I suddenly realized that he had fallen to the ground. I didn’t see anyone else.”

After hearing Xia Zhixing’s words, Guan Sheng’s brows furrowed tightly. If Xia Zhixing was not lying, it meant that the person who fired the shot was hiding in the dark. Although Guan Sheng knew that the celestial lord had made many enemies in the base, he really could not think of anyone who could have killed the celestial lord so silently.

In such a situation, even if two people were standing face-to-face, they would not be able to see each other’s faces without a flashlight, let alone kill. However, that person was able to hide in the dark and kill the celestial lord with a single shot from such a distance. Guan Sheng looked around but did not send anyone to search.

Since that person was able to kill the celestial lord without anyone knowing, they should have left the scene long ago. If he sent people to look for them now, it would be useless. Moreover, he had other matters to attend to and had no time or energy to investigate who had killed the celestial lord.

Guan Sheng retracted his gaze and said to his subordinates, “Take his body and report to the chief of the base. Over the past few years, the celestial lord had accumulated many connections and die-hard fans in the base. He had to let those foolish people see his end with their own eyes so that they would know what they should do.”

Guan Sheng looked at Xia Zhixing. “Someone has already taken revenge for you. You should go back and rest. After these few days, the base will start moving, and the journey will be bumpy, so you won’t be able to sleep well.”

Xia Zhixing looked at him and laughed at herself. “I’ve avenged myself. There’s no one or anything in this world that’s worth my concern now. I’m going to reunite with my sister.”
