Chapter 134: Chapter 105: The Snake Man in the Shadows

"Beautiful!" Gong Jiu praised aloud, his heart filled with utter astonishment, damn, what kind of perceptiveness and skill is this!

Defeating a gunman with just a pebble?

In fact, both her and Flower Demon’s Inner Strength surpassed that of Sui Yi, not to mention Ah Guna.

But not one of the three of them could compare to Sui Yi in their skill in using Inner Strength.

Just with a pebble, Sui Yi could gain a significant advantage!

Moreover, the most terrifying thing was how she was able to counter-kill one of them so seamlessly while continuously evading the other’s concentrated fire?

A monster!

The people from Lin Zhong were also taken aback by this, but even though they were fully-fledged Mechanical Messengers, they didn’t seem surprised by the abilities of Sui Yi, Gong Jiu, and the others, at that moment one of them said in a cold and deep voice, "Use a pebble to... focus on killing that woman and that man!"

As soon as the voice sounded, the gunfire immediately targeted Sui Yi and Ah Guna.

However, in an instant, the people from Lin Zhong suddenly found that they couldn’t locate the others anymore!

"Where are the people?"

"They disappeared!"

"The two people!"

The others were in utter shock, but one observant individual suddenly fired furiously along the Moat on their right-hand side.

"They’re in the water!"

Splash! Out from the water sprang two figures, dashing into the woods on the left at an extremely fast pace, disappearing in a blink, leaving only Ah Guna Yi. When the others turned the direction of their fire, they couldn’t match the speed of Ah Guna, who had leaped from the water and was already drawing his bow, whoosh whoosh!

The arrows pierced through several people’s palms, and as the guns fell to the ground, another four people dropped; they were hit by four pebbles!

"Up there!"

Whoosh! A dark figure leapt down from a tree in Lin Zhong, kicking one person more than three meters away, her long hair flowing and the Xiezhi Dagger in her hand twirling.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The burst of gunfire glittered, the cold light circulated, arrows streaked long, lights and shadows in the woods were mottled. When Sui Yi used the Xiezhi Dagger to slash and knock a handgun out of someone’s hand, a chill wind suddenly greeted her neck...

She stepped back, a bullet dangerously grazing her chin...

With a quick glance, in the woods, there was a man with his face hidden in the shadows, his gun sparking with a new burst of fire!

The speed was too fast!

It was nothing but an instantaneous flicker of shadows and light!

From both the left and right sides, two men attacked.

To retreat was difficult!

To retreat was not an option!

Whoosh, a horizontal slash from the left, whoosh! An upward cut from the right...

A bullet had already reached the front of her forehead.

The cold gleam flashed, clang!!!!!!

A striking crisp sound was followed by a flare of light.

Sui Yi’s body flipped backward in response...

"Fuck! Sui Yi!"

Gong Jiu, who had already charged into Lin Zhong, was raging with fury. He slapped one person away and pressed his pistol directly under the jaw of another, bang!

Headshot!

"Uh, she’s not really dead, right?" Flower Demon raised her eyebrows, her gunfire incessant as she evaded the rain of bullets, glancing over at Sui Yi.

To be honest, there wasn’t a trace of worry on her face, but neither was there any schadenfreude.

This type of woman would never show her true feelings to others.

Ah Guna came from behind Sui Yi, with arrows placed on his bow, shooting through the gap as Sui Yi tumbled, aiming at the man who had fired earlier.

If Sui Yi was a point, then the two of them were extremes, roughly seven to eight meters away from Sui Yi.

One held a gun, the other held a bow.

Both their murderous intents were aimed squarely at each other’s foreheads!

However, whoosh!

Sui Yi did a backward somersault and landed steadily.

Facing the imposing man in the shadows ahead of her

With a backhand slash, the Xiezhi Dagger slowly swept through the air, its blade flat, stopping in front of her forehead! A bullet was still on it.

She landed vertically!

Gong Jiu and Flower Demon: "...."

Is this woman a monster?

She must have thirteen eyes!!!

--------

Heh heh heh.

A cold and disdainful laugh echoed from the shadows, followed by his voice.

"I didn’t expect to encounter such an amusing little girl in this mission... It seems that excluding you from the data was the biggest mistake of those idiots."

His voice had already been heard once before, but at that time, Gong Jiu and the others were too far away to hear clearly. Now that they were closer, it sent a chill down their spines.

It was like having their eyeballs licked by a venomous snake.

The whole person felt terrible!

By saying this, he undoubtedly revealed that both Gong Jiu and Flower Demon were within their plans.

Therefore, they were able to strike later...

At this moment, he continued to laugh, "However, today, you will all stay here!"

"No one can stop me!"

Whoosh!

This person’s speed skyrocketed!

Boldly rushing through the trees, he charged at Sui Yi, while at the same time, two others from the shadows behind him charged at Gong Jiu and Flower Demon!

At such rapid speed, one of them had already fired a bullet from their gun!

This was a gun Master!

And the other, with a flick of their waist, drew a Bullet Soldier Knife!

The blade’s light was icy cold.

Flower Demon blew a whistle, "Bingo, nice, one who plays with knives..."

From her waist, she drew out a whip - looking like a belt.

In reality, a slender and sharply pointed whip connected inside the belt!

Translucent, like crystal, only as thick as a pinky finger, snap! Flower Demon flicked her wrist, the tip of the whip struck a tree, peeling off a large section of bark...

The snapping sound was piercing~~.

Of course, the bullets were faster than the opponent’s blade light!

"Bring it on!" Gong Jiu leaped off a tree, his figure bouncing, avoiding a bullet, and firing in midair!

Swish, swish!

Bullet against bullet!

Cold blade against long whip!

The attack commences!

On the other side, the arrow shot by Ah Guna was originally aimed at the cold, dark figure emerging from the shadows but was intercepted midway and snapped by someone else!

It was a bullet.

"Bow wielder, your opponent is me," said a man who stood in front of Ah Guna.

And finally, in the twilight shadows cast from above the forest, Sui Yi glimpsed the face of this shadowy man.

Tall and thin, his figure was elongated, his skin pale and bloodless, his long face gaunt. His features were deep-set and striking, eye sockets hollow, dark shadows beneath his eyes, and his gaze was exceptionally chilling. Yet his thin, crimson lips were quirked upwards at a slant.

This indeed was a man who resembled a snake.

In the midst of the frenzied sprint, the bullet was intercepted...

Bang!

Aimed at her head!

Burst firing!

Pop, pop, pop!

Trees beside Sui Yi were perforated one after another, and weaving through them, she felt the pressure mounting.

The opponent’s movement was too fast, and the gun-firing actions were extremely rapid; moreover, each shot was aimed at her head.

The precision of the gun technique was only slightly less flashy compared to Gong Jiu’s, but the ruthlessness and the killing intent surpassed Gong Jiu’s.

Gong Jiu was not an assassin, he was!

This was the biggest difference!

Smack!

Using a large tree as a shield, Sui Yi had two pebbles left in her hand. After a bullet whizzed by her side, she slipped beneath the interplay of light and shadow and suddenly flung them!

Smack!

The Snake Man reacted with a bounce off the ground, a spinning kick in the air sending the pebbles flying, and mid-flight, "Ha, good speed! But..."

The gun in his hand curved within his palm, its muzzle already realigning with the advancing Sui Yi!

"You’re dead meat!"

Smash!

This gun seemed a bit more formidable than the others, whether in the speed of the bullet or its explosive force, it was second to none—a single bullet could penetrate three trees of waist thickness.

Having intercepted one of them earlier, Sui Yi’s arm still throbbed with pain, making her disadvantage in this direct confrontation all too clear.

What was most terrifying was that her adversary seemed to have already predicted this, each bullet following an unchanging direction and angle.

The bullet flew through the air...

Aimed at the temple on the side of Sui Yi’s head...

In that instant, Sui Yi did not use her aching arm to block the bullet. Instead, she flung a pebble with her other hand...

Smash!

Bullet against pebble...

A single trajectory!

Smack!

The pebble shattered to pieces.

The bullet swerved off course...

The Snake Man frowned, the opponent’s insights and control over their Inner Strength was terrifying...

This ability didn’t seem fitting for someone her age, and this Sui Yi, unlike Gong Jiu and Flower Demon, was different.

From where had she acquired such skills?

At that moment, Sui Yi had closed in to within five meters of him!

Within five meters!

The Snake Man noticed this and yet, he did not move but instead laughed. It was interesting. Clearly skilled in close combat, she still advanced under gunfire...

Was it audaciousness or a fool’s dream?

His eyes caught sight of Sui Yi lifting her hand.

Ha, another pebble?

The Snake Man squinted as the hammer of his gun clicked, and he pressed the trigger...

A pebble, how could it possibly outdo a bullet!

Smash!

The bullet fired off!

And the object in Sui Yi’s hand had already been thrown!

What was that?

Cold light!

The spiraling cold light in mid-air...

It whirled like a slicing disc of light and shadow!

Its radiance was more brilliant than any beam of light; it didn’t need to be faster than a bullet.

It only needed its exceedingly sharp dagger blade, to slice through the bullet.

With the Inner Strength attached to it, it deflected the bullet!

It was a scene straight out of legend...

Clang!

The bullet indeed flew off course!

And the spinning Xiezhi Dagger, following a terrifying arc, shot straight at the Snake Man!

The Snake Man, unpredictable in speed, managed to react in time. Despite the formidable Whirling Blade Technique of the Xiezhi Dagger, he evaded by sidestepping at an angle.

Swish!

Indeed, the Xiezhi Dagger missed its mark...

"Ha, truly admi..."

Suddenly, swish! A chilling, sharp breeze from behind...

The Snake Man’s expression changed dramatically! With a flick of his wrist...

The Xiezhi Dagger, returning in a boomerang slice, had already fiercely sheared off the barrel of his gun....

He had evaded it twice; had he genuinely dodged, or was it...

"Whirling Blade Technique? Very impressive... Too bad, you still haven’t..."

"Your gun is useless now, isn’t it?" interrupted Sui Yi before he could finish, catching the returning Xiezhi Dagger in her hand with a cold glint in her eyes.

"From the start, you had calculated precisely to sever my gun..." The Snake Man’s expression chilled, his breath frosted, disbelieving.

He could scarcely imagine someone being capable of such calculation, as if premeditating his movements and combat habits.

This was too frightening! (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation votes, monthly tickets, and your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
