Chapter 467: Chapter 111 Consecutive Kills

```

In the blink of an eye, the Black Hand Master had already fallen into a critical state.

It was not the shadow close at hand that had taken out his second drone.

To avoid exposing himself, he used a laser signal to control the drone, sending it over two hundred meters away.

Laser control cannot penetrate or bypass obstacles and can only transfer signals point-to-point. Its range of use is quite narrow, but it is much harder to detect.

So Xia De of Earth Might Star, who snatches chestnuts from the fire, took out his drone without giving away his own position.

At this very moment, the shadow was only a little more than ten meters away from him.

Whoever the shadow was, it was impossible to silently take down a drone two hundred meters away without using firearms.

Therefore, at a farther distance, there was another enemy armed with a silenced firearm.

But the Black Hand Master no longer had the energy to pay attention to that hidden enemy.

He was now facing a huge crisis.

When a martial artist specialized in close-quarters combat enters the range of a few meters of one who specializes in firearms, the former can take advantage of superior mobility, predict the opponent’s judgment, and then use movement techniques to dodge the moving gun muzzle.

As a sniper, the Black Hand Master had spent a great deal of time practicing skills closely related to "image recognition," such as "atmospheric flow calculations," "terrain reading," and "enemy identification." Even when cultivating his Inner Strength, his Soth Divine Realm would consciously enhance the neural pathways of his vision processing center.

This is quite different from what combat martial artists prioritize most—the "Technique Prediction" and "Neural Reflex."

If it were a flesh body, even a graze from a bullet would cause a fighter to lose combat ability due to a very low margin for error, which is why gunners hold the absolute advantage.

But Prosthetic Bodies have raised the margin of error for both parties.

Unless there is a phenomenal gap in skill, once a fighter gets within a few meters of a gunner, the gunner is plunged into an inescapable predicament.

Now, the distance between the two of them was only ten meters.

The Black Hand Master didn’t even have time to identify who the guy was before the pistols between his thighs were ejected by the launch mechanism. The Master swung his hands, ready to grab the two pistols.

The shadow knew he had been exposed and had already accelerated the moment the Black Hand Master’s guns were ejected.

With a swing of his left arm and the sound of a gunshot, a bullet fired.

The Black Hand Master had no choice but to move his head with his shoulder to dodge the bullet.

His right hand and the ejected pistol passed by each other. That gun flew up into the sky.

But the moment the Black Hand Master’s left hand touched the pistol, he fired.

The shadow dug his toes into the ground, suddenly turned, and slid sideways, avoiding three bullets. He used the momentum of the turn to change direction.

The Black Hand Master fired three more shots in rapid succession. However, the guy had already anticipated the moves; moving like a superfluid, his unintuitive actions continuously evaded the Black Hand Master’s aim.

—The last bullet...

The shadow felt slightly nervous as well. He had just captured the appearance of the gun muzzle and estimated the caliber. He could now confirm that this Hero’s pistol magazine had at most one bullet left.

—It’s also possible there were no bullets left, and he was just pretending to have one to confuse me. But it no longer matters.

All that was needed was to break this guy’s neck... the shadow thought. Once he broke the neck of this Hero and disabled his Prosthetic Body, whatever means the Hero used would no longer matter.

Now the distance between them was only seven meters.

Six meters!

Five meters!

Perhaps it was that the speed of the neural reflex couldn’t keep up, or maybe panic set in. It seemed that the guy had been pushed to the limit and fired the last bullet.

—The target is the neck...

```

The Hero maintained his stance with his upper body, and the Vector Injectors on the back of his shoulders suddenly emitted flames upward, causing his upper body to abruptly shrink downward.

This action was both an evasive maneuver and a buildup of power. Utilizing the Vector Injectors, he generated a burst of internal force out of thin air—or rather, he traded fuel for a surge of power. This force pressed him against the ground. With his next move, he could deliver a full-powered blow with his legs, shattering the other Hero.

However, the Black Hand Master’s Prosthetic Eye suddenly activated and projected an infrared marker on his forehead.

The bullet incredibly developed an asymmetrical tail fin, then spiraled off at an angle.

—Secondary guidance munition!

That was the simplest type of secondary guidance munitions, with prototypes existing in the early 21st century. It lacked intelligence, unable to recognize its target, and could only adjust its trajectory towards the point marked by the infrared.

At that moment, the distance between them was five meters.

For a bullet, that distance passed in an instant.

The closer a Fighter gets to a Gunner, the more dangerous it becomes.

The Black Hand Master timed it extremely well; at that instant, the shadow was being pressed to the ground by his own Vector Injectors. Even if he released the power in his legs, he could only move forward.

Limited by his reaction speed, he couldn’t adjust his ankles in time to change the angle of his motion.

Thus, the bullet struck his face armor.

The strong External Armor resisted the bullet, but the kinetic energy was fully transmitted to the guy’s head.

Direct impact to the brain nerves caused a concussion, something not even a reborn Martial Ancestor could withstand.

Naturally, the shadow fell into a brief daze.

Seizing the opportunity, the Black Hand Master advanced and launched an attack.

His palm heel struck sharply on the forehead area of the shadow.

Then, his arm, wrist, and palm heel aligned in a straight line, from which a hidden bullet was instantly fired.

This bullet was of a larger caliber than those used in Defensive Gunplay Technique. Amidst the loud explosion, the shadow was thrown backward.

But the Black Hand Master stepped forward once more, supporting the back of the guy’s head and twisting with leverage.

The shadow’s neck External Armor emitted a strained noise. It wasn’t completely twisted off, but the spine was definitely severely damaged.

Now, even if the shadow didn’t have brain death, he would fall into a situation where he couldn’t control his Prosthetic Body.

Facing the shadow, the Black Hand Master finally recognized the man’s identity from his face armor and Prosthetic Body.

It wasn’t that he "just now saw clearly." He had already seen the guy’s face clearly earlier, but all of his brain’s resources were preoccupied, leaving no neural network available to identify this person.

And in the moment he relaxed, the Black Hand Master recognized him.

"Heaven Weeping Star... Misstep Boxing..."

This guy was actually a notorious figure on the Green Forest Tiger List and of the Heavenly Gang Tier...

The Black Hand Master had no time to think further when he heard an explosion.

His eyes in the back had already captured another figure.

The Hero on the ground leaped up, intercepting the shadow. They collided and did not separate, but instead entangled each other with arms and legs. The Hero shouted "Be careful," and then used a Locking Technique to subdue this newly appeared enemy.

The Black Hand Master wanted to help, but was suddenly struck by a sheer force.

It was as if he had been hit by a sledgehammer.

It was a bullet.
