Pfft!
The moment Zhu Shan stood up, a hole suddenly burst open in the giant cake beside him!
Ling Feng's expression was indifferent, and he turned his gaze towards a certain direction.
It was at this moment that Yang Fei was jolted awake!
"It's a sniper, be alert!"
Yang Fei roared, drawing his pistol and firing a shot in a specific direction!
Bang!
The gunshot echoed, and on the rooftop of a villa about three hundred meters away, a body plummeted to the ground!
It was only then that everyone else snapped back to reality, looking over in disbelief.
Ah!!
Immediately after, the scene descended into chaos. Although it was the Martial Era, everyone knew that a powerful weapon like a sniper rifle could still deal with many so-called martial arts masters.
Many of them could not withstand such an attack, and thus, a scene of panic ensued.
Even though the wedding had concluded perfectly, at this critical juncture, someone had launched a surprise attack with gunfire, and the target seemed to be Zhu Shan. This made Ling Feng's expression turn extremely cold!
Pfft!
Abruptly, another gunshot rang out!
Zhu Shan turned his head sharply. He had also been momentarily stunned by the situation. He never would have imagined that someone would attack him here, especially at Ling Feng's wedding. Who would dare to make a move against this War God's event?!
However, by the time Zhu Shan regained his senses, the enemy had already fired the second shot.
At this moment, Zhu Shan saw Dong Jinghua, who had been hit in the shoulder by the sniper rifle!
Instantly, Zhu Shan's eyes widened, and he roared, "Their target is Dong Jinghua! The first shot was just a diversion! The position is..."
Bang!
Before Zhu Shan could pinpoint the location of the sniper who had just fired, Yang Fei had already fired!
Bang bang!
And this time, it was two consecutive shots!
They were fired from two completely different directions!
Ling Yan's expression turned extremely cold, and he roared at everyone, "Ling family disciples, hold steady and activate the protective energy shield!"
As Ling Yan's voice fell, a transparent energy shield materialized around the entire Ling family ancestral home!
This energy shield was specifically designed to withstand attacks. Even a rocket launcher couldn't destroy it. Although sniper rifle bullets were often specially made and possessed terrifying power, the chance of breaking through such an energy shield with a single shot was practically nonexistent!
"Director Dong, are you alright?"
Ling Yan was the closest to Dong Jinghua. He quickly went over, helped Dong Jinghua up, and then began to examine the wound on his shoulder!
Dong Jinghua trembled all over. He hadn't reacted at all. The enemy sniper had clearly aimed at Zhu Shan earlier, but in the next moment, they had fired at him!
"I'm fine. I'm truly sorry. These people should be after me. Either they are from the Qi family of the capital or the Bai family!"
Dong Jinghua apologized repeatedly. It was already fortunate that he wasn't dead, but for Dong Jinghua, he had truly caused trouble now!
Today was Ling Feng's wedding!
Before Ling Yan could even respond, Dong Jinghua hurried towards Ling Feng and immediately knelt down!
"I'm sorry, Mr. Ling. It's all my fault..."
"Get up. This is no longer your concern. I will handle it. You should get your wound treated first!"
Ling Feng interrupted Dong Jinghua before he could finish speaking, gently raising his hand. A surge of internal energy lifted Dong Jinghua's kneeling legs.
Dong Jinghua was stunned by this and then bowed repeatedly to Ling Feng with immense gratitude!
"Yang Fei, find the people. Capture the rest alive!"
Ling Feng turned and calmly ordered Yang Fei!
Yang Fei's eyes widened, and he nodded repeatedly, "Yes, your subordinate guarantees the mission will be completed!" xxs1
"I'm going too!"
As Yang Fei led his men out, Zhu Shan beside him also prepared to rush out.
However, Ling Feng calmly stopped him, saying, "What are you going for? Go back and stay put!"
"Ah? This..."
Zhu Shan was taken aback, then meekly retreated, his neck shrunk.
Ling Feng reached out and embraced Tang Ru beside him, softly comforting her, "Are you alright?"
"No, it was just a bit sudden. These people are too audacious!"
Tang Ru was already slightly tipsy from the alcohol, her face flushed. However, after the gunshots, she had become completely alert. It was only when Ling Feng embraced her that her entire body relaxed slightly.
"It was my oversight. Some people don't know the meaning of death! We'll return to the capital tomorrow!"
Ling Feng's voice was laced with killing intent, an extremely chilling killing intent!
Tang Ru shivered and then nodded obediently to Ling Feng, gently coaxing him, "Ling Feng, don't be angry. Today is our wedding, after all!"
"I understand, which is why I didn't pursue them. Director Dong, please wait here for a moment. Brother, please calm the guests. We will provide an explanation to everyone soon!"
Ling Feng began to arrange things for those around him.
Dong Jinghua's wound had already been bandaged, and Ling Yan quickly managed to calm all the guests.
After all, the absence of further assassination gunfire seemed to indicate that the danger had been completely neutralized!
Furthermore, the appearance of the protective energy shield had also instilled a sense of security in many, so no one was screaming anymore!
However, the murmurs and discussions among the crowd had not ceased.
"What exactly is going on?"
"Were they targeting General Zhu Shan?"
"No, General Zhu Shan said earlier that the first shot was a diversion. Their target seemed to be Director Dong!"
"Yes, Director Dong is also injured. That gunman is very skilled! Alas, even a Celestial being on Earth could be assassinated if caught off guard!"
"What's so skilled about it? Didn't you see that young man with the pistol just now? He only fired three shots, and I saw two sniper bodies fall from the floors!"
"But, something seems a bit off. Aren't General Zhu Shan and Director Dong rivals? Today, General Zhu Shan seems to care a lot about Director Dong!"
"Huh, now that you mention it, it really seems that way. What's going on here?"
...
Ling Yan heard the murmurs clearly, his brow furrowed. He stood behind Ling Feng and said softly, "Xiao Feng, the situation is a bit troublesome. If these people cannot be apprehended today, or if the mastermind behind them cannot be identified, things might become very difficult!"
Ling Feng naturally understood what his elder brother meant!
His elder brother had only just ascended to the position of patriarch of the Ling family, and now, during his younger brother's wedding banquet, there had been an assassination attempt!
If this news spread, the Ling family would lose face, and Ling Yan's position might also become unstable!
All of this was solely because of Dong Jinghua!
No, it should be because of some interests. Perhaps his previous actions were too severe, directly killing Yang Wu in public, which shook the military region, making those people worry about certain things being exposed, hence their desire to quickly kill Dong Jinghua!
