Chapter 57: Chapter 45: Counter Hunt!

This!

What alien technology is this!

Zhou Zhengde was already on the verge of swearing.

He had two Godspeed Talismans on the outside of his thigh and three Vajra Talismans on his back, now striding with the speed of a sprinter and could easily get himself a swollen nose and bruised face if he didn’t turn in time.

Those three officers had already begun to get used to the enhanced speed brought by the Godspeed Talismans.

The two muscular officers with portable rocket launchers on their backs moved briskly, while the female officer was carefully listening to the content on the button walkie-talkie in her hand, continuously adjusting the communication channel through technical means to track the other party’s communication signal.

"That one just now was a mutated spiritual ability user, a D-level spiritual ability user."

The slightly breathless voice of the female officer sounded in everyone’s earphones:

"They have started to reinforce towards our side, should we call for backup from the Clean-up troops or the security team?"

A muscular officer immediately said, "For other fortress’s resident spiritual ability users to appear here, the Biological Minister of this fortress has no small amount of power, and the reliability of the Clean-up troops and the security team is not high."

Another officer cursed, "It’s already turned into a mess of shooting here and there’s no sign of the security team! They’re deliberately hiding!"

"Ahead is the number eight elevator."

Wang Jixuan raised his hand and made a gesture to stop advancing:

"Prepare for ambush."

"Again, another ambush?"

The female officer’s speech stuttered as she hurriedly said:

"We just need to draw them over and use our high mobility to delay time, that is enough, Group Leader Mu..."

Wang Jixuan was observing the surrounding terrain while speaking rapidly, "The best way to delay is to take them down."

He threw the sniper rifle he had been carrying on his back, along with two magazines, to Zhou Zhengde.

Zhou Zhengde immediately got excited and used his bubbly voice:

"Give the order, Commander!"

"Alright, there’s no one here for now, we need to use this crossroad.

"This time, we need two people to guard our retreat route. Based on my combat experience in Lower City, the retreat path is the most important..."

Wang Jixuan spoke quickly, and the five-person squad rapidly took their positions.

The ambush site he chose was located on the path from the number eight elevator to an outer emergency route, convenient for creating the illusion that they had already escaped into the emergency route.

All three officers had portable scanners.

Wang Jixuan couldn’t operate these ’magic artifacts,’ but he could sense them at a close distance and listen at a far distance.

When the female officer went to protect the retreat pathway, she handed the button walkie-talkie back to him.

Once ready, Wang Jixuan checked the talismans and magic artifacts he was carrying, and had switched the firearm in his hand to an automatic rifle.

Zhou Zhengde was crouched in a dark corner, adjusting the sniper rifle scope, the alloy box equipped by Lingtong giving him ample sense of security.

At this moment, Wang Jixuan was quietly sitting at the corner where two capillary pathways intersected, suddenly pulling out the pistol from his waist and aiming it at the ground.

Bang, bang bang!

The gunshots echoed in the corridor.

Several shouts came from the button walkie-talkie:

"Gunshots! Over here!"

"For real! Every damn Middle City of every fortress is built like a labyrinth!"

"Repeat it, no one touches Zhou Zhengde! Slaughter everyone else! Use long-range weapons if possible and don’t engage in melee combat! Let them experience the sharpshooting of spiritual ability users!"

"If I had known, I would have brought the heavy machine gun down!"

Footsteps, voices!

From both directions.

Wang Jixuan closed his eyes and concentrated, his spiritual sense pulsing rhythmically, watching his movements, Zhou Zhengde was slowly getting nervous.

Wang Jixuan raised his hand and made a gesture.

Zhou Zhengde and the muscular officer both looked toward the pathway on Wang Jixuan’s left hand side, aiming their sights at the arched corner at the end of the passage.

Wang Jixuan stood up, energized his dantian, and shouted hoarsely:

"What are you doing! Captain Zhou is hit! Emergency medical pack! Get the medical pack! We surrender to them!"

Zhou Zhengde and the muscular officer were a bit stunned.

Then, Zhou Zhengde saw...

Wang Jixuan took out several emergency blood packs from his backpack, smashed them, and scattered them on the ground before swiftly hiding in the corridor on the other side.

At the end of the passage Zhou Zhengde was aiming at, three swift figures suddenly appeared.

Three spiritual ability users!

Wang Jixuan joined his fingers like a sword, and as previously agreed, gently traced a ’1’.

Zhou Zhengde watched the crosshair, holding his breath.

A figure entered the scope of his vision.

Boom!

In the dull sound of the gunshot, a burst of blood splashed near the figure’s shoulder, the body was thrown backward, and slammed into the wall before collapsing to the ground!

This guy’s physical condition was clearly much stronger than that of an ordinary person!

The two figures following behind hurriedly leapt back to the bend in the passage, their anxious voices coming through the button walkie-talkie:

"Sniper rifle! Da Hei is hit!"

"They’re ambushing!"

Wang Jixuan joined his fingers like a sword again, and gently tapped down!

Zhou Zhengde cycled the bolt, chambering a round without hesitation and pulled the trigger.

Boom!

The figure that had fallen had a burst of blood from the forehead.

The two spiritual ability users who tried to pull the figure back cursed vociferously, hiding behind the bend and not daring to move.

Wang Jixuan swiftly traced a square with his sword finger, and the muscular officer kneeled with the single soldier rocket launcher at a ninety-degree angle to Zhou Zhengde’s sniper rifle, aiming at the other passage, and activated the biological search radar.

Wang Jixuan suddenly moved.

With a light tap of his toes and his qi infusing his feet, the Godspeed Talisman’s light flickered as he dashed into Zhou Zhengde’s sniper scope view and charged towards the arched corner!

Zhou Zhengde’s neck veins bulged, and he didn’t dare blink, staring intently at the corner.

He had to cover for Wang Jixuan now.

Under his watch, Wang Jixuan’s figure suddenly shifted sideways as he neared the corner, running along the wall as if his feet were magnets, rushing out of Zhou Zhengde’s line of sight and into close contact with the two Spiritual Ability Users!

One of the Spiritual Ability Users was rated E-level, and the other D-level, but their reaction speeds were indistinguishable. Neither had time to shoot before Wang Jixuan’s automatic rifle, held in his right hand, began to fire rapidly.

With an iron wrist suppressing the gun, bullets poured out!

The E-level Spiritual Ability User’s neck, shoulder, and chest burst into sprays of blood at the same time!

The D-level Spiritual Ability User let out a loud roar, ripples of a Telekinesis Shield appearing around him. The first bullets penetrated his right arm, but the subsequent ones were barely held by the Telekinesis Shield!

A Telekinesis Spirit Ability User!

Slightly less powerful than An Qian.

In the blink of an eye, without further thought, Wang Jixuan did as he had previously envisioned and threw hard with his left hand.

Two Bone Penetration Nails shot out!

Their Prohibitions and contained Spiritual Power exploded in an instant!

The D-level Spiritual Ability User’s soul nearly fled, half-roaring from his mouth, as the Telekinesis Shield contracted and folded. One of the Bone Penetration Nails came to a stop right at his forehead.

But with a soft "puh," his left wrist was pierced by a Bone Penetration Nail!

Wang Jixuan’s figure rushed a few steps along the ceiling, rolling down by inertia.

He did it on purpose, giving the other side a chance to shout.

"Ah—fuck! He’s here! He’s with me! Quick, back me up!"

The D-level Spiritual Ability User yelled at the top of his lungs. Both his right arm and left hand were disabled, and, at that moment, he was staring intently at Wang Jixuan while several bullets and both Bone Penetration Nails floated around him.

This was the signature ability of a Telekinesis Spirit Ability User, previously demonstrated by An Qian with astounding power.

Wang Jixuan lunged forward like an eagle attacking a lion!

"Die!"

The Spiritual Ability User yelled loudly, and immediately, the spent bullets and two drained Bone Penetration Nails shot towards Wang Jixuan!

An invisible force pressed down on Wang Jixuan!

Wang Jixuan’s forward rush was like hitting a quagmire, his speed plummeting sharply!

The Spiritual Ability User had erupted with all his strength!

However...

Twelve Vajra Talismans flashed brightly from Wang Jixuan’s inner jacket, front and back, and the faint image of a seated Buddha appeared around him!

Ding ding ding!

The sound of metal striking metal was incessant!

Wang Jixuan felt the pressure around him suddenly dissipate and without time to retract his arms, he was already upon the Spiritual Ability User. He adjusted his direction with his Spiritual Sense alone, thrusting his knees forward while Qi surged to his kneecaps!

Thump!

In the dull sound, the Spiritual Ability User’s head drooped.

Wang Jixuan barely steadied himself and looked down to see the Spiritual Ability User’s nose bridge collapsed, facial bones caved in, and a noticeable dent in the metal wall behind his head, with blood continuously streaming down to his neck.

Despite this, the Telekinesis Spirit Ability User was still alive, merely knocked unconscious.

Daoist Wang skillfully fished out a tiny hand grenade from his waist pouch, pulled the pin, dropped it into the Spiritual Ability User’s arms, and patted it lightly.

His expression seemed to say:

"We had a showdown, and I’ve got nothing good to give you, so take this tiny High Explosive Hand Grenade home and enjoy."

He then leaped energetically down the corridor.

Bang!

Zhou Zhengde could see flesh and thick smoke flying in his scope.

Suddenly, a bright light appeared on the edge of Zhou Zhengde’s vision.

The burly military officer had pulled the rocket launcher’s trigger, four slender missiles leaving the barrel, carving light arcs in the narrow passage and entering the round hall at the end of the corridor.

Sounds of explosions in quick succession.

The corridor was covered in dust, and four of the Spiritual Ability Users in the round hall were cut off from their biological signals—two were lost, and two retreated quickly with severe injuries.

Zhou Zhengde heard Wang Jixuan’s voice in his earpiece:

"Prepare to move... I’ll come out first, Captain Zhou, hold your fire."

"Understood," Zhou Zhengde exhaled softly, immediately turning the sniping rifle’s muzzle.

The three of them quickly regrouped with the other two.

Wang Jixuan brought his sword fingers together and slid them gently, the Godspeed Talismans on the five-person squad lit up again, and they continued to move at high speed.

Zhou Zhengde really wanted to ask what kind of technology this was, but now was not the time to inquire; the continuous secretion of adrenaline after firing the gun had him excited enough to howl.

The female officer took control of the button intercom again, tracking the Spiritual Ability Users’ communication channels.

As they approached Elevator 7, the burly military officer who previously carried the rocket tube couldn’t help but swear:

"Hahaha! We took out five Spiritual Ability Users in one go!"

"So strong! Too strong! Mu Liang, you’re definitely not just E-level in combat power!"

Zhou Zhengde’s voice was a bit hoarse:

"Those five Spiritual Ability Users included at least one D-level! How many rocket rounds do we have left?"

"Twelve, the two of us brought a total of sixteen."

The female officer suddenly shouted, "There’s a fight breaking out below! The Spiritual Ability Users are calling for backup! Major Lingtong is engaging them!"

Hardly had her words fallen when...

Boom!

The area around the thirty-second floor where they were located began to tremble;

No, it was the entire Fortress that was trembling slightly!

All the lights went out abruptly, emergency lights came on, and near the central elevator shaft of the Fortress, an alarm sounded that had not rung for a long time. Several normally used fire escape route lights lit up brightly!

Rumble rumble rumble...

It was as if thousands of horses and troops were galloping in the depths of the earth.

Wang Jixuan made a hand gesture, and all five immediately crouched down at the corner ahead, each with a bit of unease.

Are they tearing down the place?
