Chapter 664: Chapter 638 Masters

Taking advantage of the moment everyone’s attention was drawn to Yakura Mikado, he secretly fired a fatal shot.

If the duel between Gao Yi and Yakura Mikado hadn’t ended so quickly, if it had been delayed by even a fraction of a second, perhaps the gunman might have succeeded.

But now, one can only say this gunman is quite formidable, albeit having encountered an unimaginable opponent.

The first bullet grazed past the tip of Gao Yi’s nose.

The gunman was maneuvering, firing a bullet towards Gao Yi with extreme precision, regardless of whether Gao Yi or Yakura Mikado won or lost; he would have taken the shot. After realizing that his supposedly sure hit missed, he chose to move and fired a second shot while evading bullets aimed at him.

This second shot was overly ambitious; instinctively fired, yet during his super extreme rapid movements, the second shot missed the mark.

The gunman missed Gao Yi with two consecutive shots, but Lucy’s bullet failed to hit the gunman either. However, the hammer casually thrown by Gao Yi heavily struck the gunman’s shoulder.

This was a hit by chance, as Gao Yi hadn’t aimed when throwing the hammer. So, the gunman being struck was more of him dodging into it during his evasive maneuvers.

The gunman didn’t utter a sound when his right shoulder took the blow. Alongside the intense pain, he realized his handgun was still in his hand, yet he couldn’t swing his arm anymore.

The gunman lunged towards Gao Yi, his movement evading Lucy’s unavoidable second shot.

This gunman wasn’t just a skilled gunman; he could draw and fire his gun in the brief instant Gao Yi made a move. He could even execute a lunge after dodging a shot and getting hit with a flying hammer.

Again, super extreme movements, so extreme that Lucy missed the gunman with consecutive shots.

And with his left hand, he drew a knife from his waist, suddenly producing a short blade.

A master, a super assassination master.

If Ben’s group really had a Ninja, then this gunman would be the top among them, from hiding his strength to disguising his identity and then managing to get so close that the shot was almost unavoidable. Reaching this stage already placed him among the experts, but this gunman could even execute a close-quarter assassination after failing in a sure-kill situation, marking him as a super expert.

A super expert of a different kind from Gao Yi.

In terms of martial arts, this gunman didn’t even have a chance against Gao Yi, but in terms of assassination, he was at least two levels above Gao Yi.

However, this gunman ultimately fell into a deadly trap of comparing skills with Gao Yi.

Gao Yi performed a classic wrestling bridge move, with his feet on the ground and the back of his neck touching the floor, where he should naturally lie down. That would accord with physics, the extreme limits of the body’s structure, and thus be reasonable.

But Gao Yi didn’t lie down; the moment his back touched the ground, he exerted force with his back, his feet left the ground, and with an almost uninterrupted kip-up, he sprung from the ground.

Super flexible body, super explosive strength — just two basic martial arts moves, completing a remarkable rebound off the ground.

Gao Yi lay down and bounced up, the gunman slid across the ground, his left-hand blade slashing through the space where Gao Yi should have been lying.

In extreme astonishment, the gunman looked at the ground where he thought someone should be, unable to comprehend what his eyes were too slow to track, an action the brain couldn’t process. Thus, the gunman slipped into a momentary blank when his left hand’s blade missed its mark.

Driven by instinct, the gunman made a swipe in the air with his left hand, but by the time his brain registered that he was already a dead man, Gao Yi’s foot descended heavily onto the gunman’s neck.

Nothing needed asking, just as the gunman instinctively waved a futile slash at the air, Gao Yi instinctively, after standing up, turned and stomped down with his foot.

As the gunman’s neck was instantly snapped, Gao Yi realized he had stomped to death this treacherous yet undeniably super assassin of a gunman.

This was undoubtedly the most dangerous encounter of Gao Yi’s life.

After a brief moment of shock, came the surge of anger.

"Damn, you little Ben!"

The dramatic flair was all there, dying courageously, earning a sliver of respect from Gao Yi for the gunman. But the underlying treachery and despicableness in Ben’s kind immediately wiped away any newfound respect Gao Yi had for their martial artists.

And this wasn’t the end, not a turn-based game. As gunfire suddenly erupted in the hall, those guarding outside surged in.

Gunfire rang out again, Lucy turned her gun towards those rushing into the hall and fired continuously.

Gao Yi was exposed to gunfire; he dived towards the ground again, sliding less than a meter, picking up the hammer that had hit the gunman, and immediately rolling on the ground, ran towards the wall by the main entrance.

With gunmen storming into the hall aiming at Gao Yi, Lucy’s timely shot blew an enemy’s head off instantaneously, and as the second and third gunmen continued charging in, with Lucy and Dani’s rifles unable to seal the entrance, Gao Yi already stuck close to the wall by the main entrance.

Bang, bang — two hammer strikes, Gao Yi exposed himself to the sight lines of many people, also under the muzzles of numerous guns.

But no one expected Gao Yi would appear at the main entrance at this moment, and flash past at incredible speed.

No one would have expected Gao Yi to expose himself voluntarily, thus negating most danger, for no one would fire at a comrade’s back. This gave Gao Yi a chance; he blended in with the enemies storming into the hall at the entrance, delivering two consecutive strikes, then another overhead smash, bursting the heads of three people in succession within the crowd and retreat intact to the other side of the doorway.

This assault group was almost entirely Ben’s people, with two caucasian people mixed in the middle.

These Ben’s people weren’t with those mercenaries before; they shared a mutual target, but the Ben’s people were national loyalists while those mercenaries were in it for the bounty.

Thus, strictly speaking, these Ben’s people were competitors with the previous mercenaries.

Now, these Ben’s people rushed in relentlessly, though several were shot dead in mere moments, they still created a golden opportunity for those mercenaries.

McCarthy couldn’t help but shout, "Charge in while there’s a chance, go! Quick, go!"

The mercenaries waiting for their chance swarmed up.

The Ben’s people had created an excellent opportunity; their number of deaths didn’t matter much, but this momentum of assault mustn’t be broken. After all, rifle magazines only have thirty bullets, and the continuous firing earlier was mostly bursts.

Whether changing guns or reloading, after continuous shooting, even if the shooting doesn’t halt, there will inevitably be a brief dip in firepower.

Seize this brief moment, and you can charge in.

Charge in, and you succeed.
