Chapter 247 Leaving It Up to You
As Ge Yingwu's shout erupted, everyone in the living room drastically changed their expression.
Li Gu was terrified; his daughter was right next to Ling Fan. If a gun were to misfire... he dared not imagine the scene that would follow.
"Don't hurt my daughter, she has nothing to do with this!" Hu Suxin couldn't help but cry out in alarm.
Hu Chunyan fell onto the sofa in a panic, her eyes widening. Had her legs not cramped from fright, she would have considered hiding under the sofa.

Sang Xiaoqin and Cheng Peng's hearts thumped uncontrollably, like drums, realizing that what was happening to Ling Fan and Li Shishi could very well be their fate next.
Thinking this, they immediately trembled, as if their souls were dislodged.
Only Cheng Zhenli, amidst her nervousness, let out a scoff of laughter, "Hmph, weren't you acting all arrogant just now? Let's see how you die next, what good will your tough talk do then when you have to pay with your life?"
Then, with Ge Yingwu's shout, his bodyguards quickly drew their pistols and aimed at Ling Fan, pulling the trigger without hesitation.
To everyone present, Ling Fan was undoubtedly doomed; as the saying goes, no matter how high your martial arts, you still fear a kitchen knife, and even more so against firearms—how could high skills compare?
They have never heard of anyone who could resist bullets; though there are such examples in movies, those are about Spider-Man.
"Hehe, I've heard this security guard is very skilled in martial arts. I'm really looking forward to your skills shocking us like the Fire Cloud Evil God!" Cheng Zhenli couldn't help but sneer.
Hearing this, Ge Yingwu snorted angrily, "Fire Cloud Evil God? I'm about to turn him into a phoenix. Shoot him, turn him into a sieve!"
Li Shishi could never have imagined such a scene unfolding; Ge Yingwu was utterly cruel, having brought guns.
Seeing the numerous dark muzzles aimed at Ling Fan, Li Shishi didn't hesitate to stand in front of Ling Fan.
This act immediately turned Ge Yingwu's expression ferocious, "Damn it, I'll send you both off to be desperate lovers today!"
Ling Fan had not expected Li Shishi to make such a move in a moment of crisis. He wrapped his arms around Li Shishi's waist, stirring the True Yuan inside him.
Seeing this, Hu Suxin couldn't hold back her tears, wondering what had gotten into her daughter. What kind of enchantment had this young man cast on her beloved daughter?
At this moment, she extremely hated Ling Fan, wishing only to see him dead, not wanting her daughter to be harmed!
Li Gu closed his eyes, thinking, "It's over!"
"Bang…Bang…Bang…"
With a burst of intense gunfire, the living room fell deathly silent, as everyone imagined the two lying in a pool of blood.
However, moments later, like struck by lightning, the crowd witnessed a scene they would never forget.
In front of Ling Fan, the void was embedded with dozens of bullets, and an eggshell-like shield enveloped the two within.
The bullets rippled across this miraculous shield, yet could not penetrate it and seemed instead to be embedded into the screen.
Stunned, everyone in the living room was thoroughly shocked, looking at Ling Fan as if seeing a ghostly apparition.
Li Shishi, who had thought she would fall in a pool of blood with Ling Fan, instinctively stood in front of him between life and death. Wrapped tightly by Ling Fan at that moment, she seemed to hear her own heartbeat.
"It's alright! I won't let anything happen to you!" Ling Fan's voice quietly rose by her ear, subdued yet conveying a stabilizing strength.
As she comprehended the scene before her, her mouth fell open, overwhelmed with disbelief!
Suddenly, she remembered a scene from a few days ago at the Xinghua Banquet in Binzhou, where the elder Martial Artists from the Martial Arts Families also seemed to have used this method.
And at that time, Ling Fan, faced with the private army armed with submachine guns, charged through them as if he were entering a land of no one, his bravery unstoppable!
That's right, she remembered now, the reason she had unhesitatingly stepped in front of Ling Fan was because, subconsciously, she felt she might not die.
Indeed, if the private army of the Tang Family could not do anything to Ling Fan, how could these minor soldiers possibly harm him!
However, even if she knew she was certain to die, she felt she would have done the same, regardless. In any case, her subconscious action had indeed made a deep impression on Ling Fan.
Ge Yingwu and a host of bodyguards were simply petrified on the spot. It was not that they had never interacted with Martial Artists, but encountering someone as bizarre as Ling Fan was a first in their lives.
"Bullets... bullets can't kill him?" Ge Yingwu almost bit his tongue off.
He had heard from a friend at the Martial Association that Martial Artists at an extremely high realm could be unafraid of firearms, though he had thought they were just embellishing their abilities, exaggerating the facts.
He could believe in feats like leaping onto roofs and vaulting walls or splitting monuments and rocks, but to resist bullets with his flesh, he felt that was absolutely ludicrous. However, the scene before him made him realize that it was indeed possible!
The reason Ling Fan did not dodge was that he had absolute confidence that the regular pistols wielded by these men posed no threat to him, and were utterly incomparable to the forces the Tang Family had once brought.
Ling Fan then removed a bullet from his Protective Gang Qi in front of him, looked toward Ge Yingwu, and said indifferently, "You've finished shooting, is it my turn to act now!"
Ge Yingwu's throat went dry, and he couldn't help but take a step back. The towering rage he had felt was now quenched by half, and regaining some semblance of reason, he felt a chill on his back, never expecting this guy to be so formidable, and regretted his impulsiveness!
The bodyguards beside him were sweating profusely on their foreheads, holding their handguns uncertain whether to lower them or open fire.
Ge Yingwu stared at Ling Fan, forcing himself to remain calm, and said, "Today Ge has underestimated you, but don't think that my Ge Family and friends at the Martial Association can't handle you.
There are a few like you in our circle. I advise you to surrender now, and not wait for the Ge Family to take severe measures!"
At this moment, Ge Yingwu still didn't forget to maintain his home ground momentum, beginning to threaten Ling Fan with a mix of bluff and earnest, attempting to intimidate him!
Ling Fan just scoffed, and his Protective Gang Qi suddenly shook. The bullets hovering in front of him shot back like a meteor.
In a flash, over a dozen bodyguards brought by Ge Yingwu suddenly widened their eyes, and the next second, they all dropped dead, their eyes wide open.
Cheng Zhenli and others beside him saw that the bodyguards had a spot of blood on their foreheads, having been struck by the reflected bullets, killed instantly.
Ge Yingwu looked at the array of bodyguards fallen around him, his scalp numbed and his body cold, standing frozen on the spot, his eyes unable to hide the fear.
Ling Fan, holding Li Shishi with one arm and toying with the bullet he had just removed, said lightly, "This bullet shouldn't go to waste; how about I keep it for you!"
"Hiss~"
Li Gu and others gasped in shock, this scene shattering their perceptions and breaking their traditional views.
Hu Suxin covered her mouth, almost screaming out loud!
Hu Chunyan slumped on the sofa, limp as mud, her mind in complete disarray!
Sang Xiaoqin and Cheng Teng had their hearts momentarily stop, staring blankly at Ling Fan, finally understanding what Li Shishi meant earlier by being able to fight!
Cheng Zhenli's mouth was dry, looking at the scene before her, feeling as if the world was spinning around her, shocked beyond measure, and a deep jealousy arose in her.
