Chapter 798: Chapter 43: Fatal Kill

Jeanne and Asgard moved swiftly through a zone about a person high. Due to the extremely low gravity here, they seemed like they were flying, needing only to lightly tap the walls or pedestrians occasionally to continue moving.

Asgard laughed, "You really have your ways, this reduces a lot of risk..."

Jeanne nodded slightly, saying no more.

"Owe you half a life."

"That’s enough," Jeanne said, "Focus on escaping."

"If I don’t say a couple of words, I might scare myself to death..." Asgard murmured, "You’ve noticed too, haven’t you... That guy is moving..."

In the dark corners between buildings, there were some slight unusual noises. For ordinary people, these noises could easily be overlooked.

But both Jeanne and Asgard were skilled at identifying key information from environmental noise.

After a few minutes of fleeing, they had gradually become aware of an inescapable sound.

It was similar to the flapping sound of robes against the air.

The sound was produced by a particular individual wearing a specific robe and was identifiable among the crowd draped in dust-proof cloth. It had been there for several minutes, continuously sounding.

The terrifying figure and they might be only separated by a street, a few buildings, or a few walls. If that First Heavenly Layer Martial Artist wasn’t planning to disguise, Jeanne and Asgard would almost have no chance to escape alive at this range.

But due to the surrounding noisy background sounds, the atmospheric flow between streets, and the complex environment, Jeanne and Asgard couldn’t analyze the opponent’s exact position.

The only thing they could be certain of was that the guy was within fifty meters.

He could be in any corner within those fifty meters.

Jeanne nodded stiffly but changed the subject: "We’re about to enter the main passage leading to the upper area soon, a highly monitored and unobscured region. If the opponent wants to hide, it’s hard to chase us in there..."

"The more it’s like this, the more careful we need to be," Asgard said, "In this kind of situation, they’ll surely hold back and unleash a big one, right?"

They turned a corner. The passage leading upwards, the bright entrance, was just above them.

The destination was already in sight.

But at that moment, several piercing sounds came.

Eight magnetic chain weapons traced parabolic trajectories in mid-air, as if they were attacks flung by someone inexperienced in martial arts.

But with such low gravity, the parabolas wouldn’t normally have that arc.

Each magnetic chain weapon was under the enemy’s control!

"Here they come!"

Jeanne’s vision blurred. In the next moment, her sight was overlaid with a layer of blood-colored mist.

This was somewhat different from usual. Tumor Xiang Shan used to use glaring red lights to mark enemy attacks or feints, drawing a warning line. These "reds" indicated possible feints of the magnetic chain weapons.

But there were too many feints. Each magnetic chain weapon seemed to be wrapped in a thick blood-colored "murderous aura"—the closer to the magnetic chain itself, the denser it was, and it gradually dissipated a meter away.

There were countless feints with the chains, and as long as a limb entered the scope of the "red mist," it could be twisted by a feint!

Avoid touching the magnetic chain weapon itself at all costs!

The speed of this move wasn’t fast, but the pedestrians below also knew its lethality. To wield such long magnetic chain weapons so skillfully, the operator’s prosthetic body and power supply couldn’t be underestimated.

Jeanne didn’t follow the crowd to evade. It was foolish to lay hopes on "the opponent won’t involve pedestrians"—Jeanne knew the true stance of the Six Dragons Sect. Besides, with the opponent’s martial arts, even if she were to really escape into the crowd, the magnetic chain weapon could still precisely stab her. At this time, the surrounding pedestrians were not shields but shackles limiting her actions.

"Charge through it!"

"Mm..."

The two charged towards the magnetic chain weapon array without words. Magnetism pressed Jeanne firmly on the ground. She raised her gun, sweeping bullets to clear a path in the magnetic chain weapon array. In these slight gaps, Asgard twisted his body to incredible angles, slipping through with nimble movement technique unsuited to his heavy prosthetic body.

The moment they broke out of the attack range, Asgard picked up some debris from the roadside, throwing it into the magnetic chain weapon array.

Several magnetic chain weapons contracted instantly, shredding the debris before lightly extending and stabbing again.

But this brief gap was enough for Jeanne to pass through.

Holding a submachine gun in each hand, Jeanne rotated, spraying bullets like a blossoming rocket. The recoil propelled her forward.

The two cooperated seamlessly, charging forward fifty meters like this.

——Victory was within sight...

Such a thought even emerged in Jeanne’s mind.

But the next instant, this illusion was shattered.

A magnetic chain weapon, lying in the frost layer, suddenly sprang into action, wrapping around Asgard’s leg.

..................

Gloomy Style Type I · Wild Trap.

Protector Ti moved leisurely, speeding his actions only at the moments when he had to cross the street between two dark dead angles.

Before entering the street, he used pre-set Gu to obscure the visual information or prosthetic eye recording paths of pedestrians "about to see him," ensuring his silhouette would never be recorded. Even if someone occasionally glimpsed that fleeting shadow, they would only think the prosthetic eye had a slight glitch.

He was already close to the target.

At this moment, he no longer considered the two targets as Rangers. Rangers wouldn’t act like this most of the time.

But...

Having fought to this extent, shouldn’t this battle have a proper conclusion?

The struggling of these two little ones piqued his slight interest.

Based on the feedback from the magnetic chain, the "Wild Trap" should have already completely robbed one of their mobility. When the magnetic chain weapon wrapped around one’s limb, the other decisively incapacitated the limb, which prevented this blow from achieving full success. But the one who was entangled likely couldn’t move.

The "casting a net" move failing to finish the opponent slightly surprised him. But the "Wild Trap" indeed worked.

This was enough.

"Then, Gloomy Style Type V · Spider Net."

Gloomy Style Type V · Spider Net.

With this move, he could be considered somewhat "serious."

The magnetic chain weapon slightly retracted, but it didn’t withdraw into the dark dead corners; instead, it arrayed around the two targets, layering up to weave a more intricate formation.
