I Become The Richest Man With A monthly Salary of Twenty Thousand Yuan-Chapter 647 - 459 Shock

But this street was hardly bustling with people to begin with, and most had already taken cover. There were only a few who might have been hit by stray bullets, so Xia Liang altered the trajectories of their destinies a bit.

A few moments later, the sound of sweeping gunfire in the street finally came to a halt.

Luodan and Professor Rico turned their gaze away, unable to bear the sight of the aftermath below.

From a distance, Liao Yijie and his two companions had no idea if Xia Liang had truly survived.

But as the smoke cleared, an unscathed Xia Liang appeared in the front passenger seat, right before the eyes of everyone from the Tufeng Group. Meanwhile, the body in the driver’s seat had already been battered into pulp.

Seeing Xia Liang’s slowly curving smile and his completely unharmed body, the last remaining executive of the Tufeng Group felt his scalp tingle and instinctively took two steps back. The faces of the others nearby also grew uneasy.

But before they could figure out what had happened, the Tufeng Group executive pulled an RPG from a car behind him. This was the mightiest weapon in the Tufeng Group’s arsenal. After taking out the rocket launcher, he aimed it directly at Xia Liang and fired a second later.

Xia Liang was bewildered as he watched the rocket approach.

How do these people have heavy weaponry like this? And I do have a Life-Saving Talisman, which must have just been passively activated. Based on how the Life-Saving Talisman originally worked, this rocket should have veered off course or jammed. But looking at its trajectory, it doesn’t seem to be off target at all.

But Xia Liang had no time to think further. The rocket was already upon him, striking the front of the large truck.

BOOM!

A violent explosion erupted instantly. The blast shattered the windows and doors of nearby buildings as the heatwave surged dozens of meters into the air. However, because Xia Liang had altered the destinies of the nearby residents beforehand, no one was injured.

Seeing the heatwave swirling around him, Xia Liang chuckled. The explosion had gone off right where he stood, but without using any Spiritual Power for protection, he was completely unharmed. He hadn’t even felt the slightest shockwave.

It seems that with my advancement, the Life-Saving Talisman no longer just deflects bullets; it can now confront an attack head-on. In the past, this rocket would have definitely jammed or gone off course. But now, it can hit me directly, and I’ll still be fine.

The people outside were oblivious to Xia Liang’s thoughts, as the entire front of the truck was still engulfed in flames, obscuring their view of the inside. The truck’s cabin was shattered by the blast, scattering the countless bodies from inside in all directions.

Luodan and Professor Rico glanced down again and sighed heavily, certain that Xia Liang was no longer among the living.

But the very next second, they both heard the strange sound of a bell.

「At the same time.」

On the street, the smirking Tufeng Group members felt their smiles freeze on their faces, because they too heard the sound of a bell coming from the front of the truck.

DING-A-LING, DING-A-LING.

The eerie ringing came again and again, seemingly from the driver’s seat of the large truck. The Tufeng Group members exchanged grim glances, completely bewildered. After a direct hit from a rocket launcher, forget a bell—even a piece of solid iron should have been melted instantly by the extreme heat. What truly baffled them was why the bell was ringing at all.

Watching from a distance, Liao Yijie and his men were extremely anxious but dared not get any closer.

「At the same time.」

In a room overlooking the street, Luodan and Professor Rico exchanged a shocked glance, their eyes, filled with astonishment, fixed on the front of the truck below. They couldn’t understand why a bell was ringing. A few moments later, a silhouette began to emerge from the raging flames at the front of the truck.

Within the inferno, the silhouette grew larger and more distinct.

Just a second or two later, the figure stepped out through the shattered windshield, the faint smile on his lips completely unchanged!

The man who appeared was a completely unscathed Xia Liang.

Down in the street, raging flames still burned behind and under him, yet they seemed utterly unable to touch Xia Liang. The Xia Liang who stood before them hadn’t even a single thread of his robe singed. And this was after taking the full force of a rocket launcher head-on.

Everyone stared in stunned silence as Xia Liang emerged from the flames.

Luodan and Professor Rico’s minds went blank.

He even knew we were here! The reason he didn’t avoid the ambush wasn’t because he had given up and was calmly accepting his fate. Rather... he had known all along that he simply could not die. He *was* destiny itself.

Compared to Luodan, Professor Rico’s expression was just as stunned. His initial shock slowly morphed into excitement, and a fanatical fervor filled his eyes. He had studied cultures from around the world for decades. Finally, he had encountered a phenomenon that science simply could not explain.

After nodding toward the two men, Xia Liang turned his gaze back to the Tufeng Group members before him. For several moments, they were too shocked and terrified to move a muscle.

Not giving them any time to react, Xia Liang simply chuckled and clapped his hands.

Having already used the Soul Spelling Bell, he didn’t need to keep shaking it.
