.Xie Yao's face changed slightly, but soon returned to normal, and although Gu Qianxue seemed calm on the surface, Xie Yao clearly noticed her body shuddering slightly.
"Who are you?" asked Xie Yao as she gently held Gu Qianxue's hand, trying to give her some reassurance and silently telling her that she should not worry.
The man who had focused his gaze on Gu Qianxue at all times finally looked at Xie Yao.
He said, "Oh? I am surprised that a little girl like you still has the courage to talk normally even after seeing this." The man smiled as he raised his gun and shook it in front of his body as if he were showing it to Xie Yao.
However, the terror or shudder that the man expected from Xie Yao did not happen. On the contrary, she looked at him as if she were looking at a circus clown and scoffed:
"You want to scare me with that?"
"Forget it, girl..." The man smiled slightly and shook his head. Then, he started to approach slowly: "Just stay away and I won't do anything bad to you. After all, my goal is that girl next to you."
Seeing that the other side was acting with 'kindness', Xie Yao decided to be 'kind' too.
"Since you are so kind, let me be kind too..." Xie Yao narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "Just stay where you are, because if you come any closer... you will die."
The man's footsteps stopped for a moment as he tried to process what he had just heard... This girl had just warned him? Was she crazy? Couldn't she see that he had a gun in his hands?
"Hahaha... You are interesting." The man laughed: "I have decided, I will also take you with me."
Then, ignoring Xie Yao's words and treating her as a joke, he took another step forward.
Seeing this, Xie Yao looked at him with some pity before closing her eyes and whispering:
"Qianxue, cover your ears for a moment."
Although she did not understand very well, Gu Qianxue nodded and covered her ears with her hands.
The man looked at the scene with a funny smile and continued to move forward.
One step.
Two steps.
Three steps.
When the man was ready to take the fourth step and enter the two meters within the range of Gu Qianxue, his steps stopped abruptly.
The eyes of the man opened wide, his mouth opened and closed continuously like a fish, but no sound came out of its interior. Desperate and not understanding what was happening, he held both hands to his throat while he tried to breathe... But he could not!
"AAARGH!!!"
Soon, a scream finally escaped from the man's mouth... A scream of pain.
His eyes began to bleed, his eardrums exploded and the veins in his body swelled as if they would break at any moment... Soon, his empty lungs filled with blood from his internal organs.
The pain and internal pressure felt by the man who tried to kidnap Gu Qianxue was as great as if a truckload was hitting his body again and again!
*Plaf!*
A few seconds later of struggle, the man's fruitless movements stopped and he fell to the floor, his eyes lost all sparkle... His life was over and even then, he did not understand what had happened.
His last thoughts before he died were: "Why?"
Xie Yao's eyes opened, but seeing the bloody condition of the miserable man, she could not help but close her eyes again. The only reason she didn't scream was because she didn't want to worry Gu Qianxue. But she had never seen anything like this in her whole life.
When Xie Feng killed people in front of her in the past, Xie Yao never saw even a drop of blood as Xie Feng guaranteed to make them disappear completely. However, inside a plane it was naturally impossible to do anything like what he did in his fight against the American Esper, Edward Silver.
If Xie Feng were to use such destructive power here, all he would do would be to destroy the plane and expose himself to the world. In short, the power that Xie Feng could use was limited, so he could not prevent Xie Yao from seeing dead bodies.
Even so, Xie Feng could have prevented him from destroying man's internal organs. But, when the gunman said he would also take Xie Yao, Xie Feng could not prevent his strength from getting a little out of control, causing the present situation.
Xie Yao took a deep breath and opened her eyes. Clenching her teeth and with a determined look, she helped Gu Qianxue to stand up and without saying a word she started to walk along the passageway.
She had to go to Xie Feng.
Meanwhile, the passengers in the first class area had their eyes wide open and could not believe what they were seeing. A few seconds ago, a gunman appeared; scaring everyone. But a few seconds later, that same man was on the floor, bathed in his own blood and completely dead.
Everyone looked at the two girls walking away as if they were looking at ghosts in broad daylight.
* * *
-Business area.
Xie Feng closed his eyes and sighed internally. He was blaming himself for what he had just did. Although he did not believe that Xie Yao was a weak girl and although she knew that the path they were walking was destined to be thorny, Xie Feng did not want her to see things that an 18 years old girl should not see.
What he wanted was for Xie Yao to enjoy as normal a life as possible. That's why even though he didn't have the need, he was still going to university... That's why even though he could live as he wanted, he didn't use his powers practically ever.
"Yin Yue, what's wrong?"
Shen Xinya's voice brought Xie Feng out of his inner thoughts... This was no time to blame himself for a mistake.
Yin Yue frowned and looked at the economic area while saying in a stern tone, "That noise just now was undoubtedly a gunshot."
"A gunshot?" Shen Xinya blinked in surprise: "Even a police officer needs a special permit to board a plane with a firearm. How can that be possible?"
"Well, it looks like someone slipped in with a gun..." Yin Yue responded casually.
Just then, a big man over two meters tall entered the business area. His arms were as thick as an adult man's thighs, his hands large enough to easily grasp an adult's head and cover the top. His whole being imposed its presence over the rest, like a ferocious and wild beast.
"All right, everyone stay in your seats and don't move!"
Seeing the gun in the hands of the big man and having heard a shot in the back of the plane just a few seconds ago, all the passengers were scared and none dared to disobey his words.
"Hahaha... I like to see those faces of fear!" the corpulent man laughed cynically as he looked with satisfaction at the terror in the eyes of children, women, and men alike.
As he strutted along the passageway and pointed his gun casually, the corpulent man scoffed, "I'm sure most of you here have plenty of money, huh! To think that you are willing to spend several thousand or even more to sit a little more comfortably than usual! But look at you here, shaking like a bitch!"
Suddenly, the big man saw the stewardess Ye Lian and whistled: "What a body you have there, woman!"
Ye Lian shuddered and involuntarily took a step back when she saw the man approaching her step by step.
"Yin Yue!" Shen Xinya's face changed when she saw the disgusting smile that adorned the big man's face.
Yin Yue nodded silently. She did not need Shen Xinya's reminder since she immediately rushed out of her seat at full speed.
Seeing a person running towards him, the face of the big man changed slightly. With a fierce look and not caring that the other side was a woman, he pointed his gun at her:
"Since we have a heroine here, let me see if super girl can really resist bullets!"
*Bang!*
Yin Yue ignored the shot and continued running forward, she just put her left arm in front of her face.
Arriving in front of the big man, Yin Yue closed her right fist and punched him in the chest.
The difference in height was so great that from the passengers' point of view it was like watching David and Goliath fight!
However, the scene was surprising...
*Boom!*
"Ugh!"
With a deep punch, the big man's face contorted in pain and his body took several steps backwards. After stabilizing, he looked at Yin Yue with incredulity:
"What the hell are you!?"
Yin Yue ignored the man's shout of surprise... Because she was no less surprised.
Yin Yue's previous punch was strong enough to kill a cow, but the man in front of her was standing as if nothing had happened! After a close look, Yin Yue saw that through the clothes that her fist destroyed, there was a weak black glow, like a strange armor.
Besides...
Drip...
Drip...
Drip...
As she looked down, Yin Yue's eyes trembled slightly as she saw that a small blood wound had actually appeared on her arm! She could not believe it! Her body was enough to resist shotguns, but the small weapon in the hands of the man in front of her actually went through her skin!
