Chapter 289 - 259: The Right Way_3
Custom bullets swarmed out!
Bang bang bang~
"Enemy attack!"
"Take him down!"
"Damn it, even high-ranking partners must die!" Nôv(el)B\\jnn
The eight men, already simmering with anger, now faced someone suddenly jumping out posing as a high-ranking partner, raising a hand and firing upon them, immediately driving them into a seething rage.
So what if he really is a high-ranking partner?
With our combined strength...
Bang~ Bang~ Bang~
Bullets, guided with precision around corners, struck all eight men as they leaped up to dodge, igniting a series of sparks in mid-air.
Even though they all had protective gear, and one even possessed a protective stance item.
But mixed with mental attacks and the power of Shadow Force, successive shots instantly claimed the lives of six men!
These two guns were indeed quality goods of a high-ranking partner; even Tao Yu had to rely on the convenience of Qiankun Great Shift to withstand their assault!
That two could resist with the help of their items and survive was quite surprising to Tao Yu.
"Interesting..."
Boom~ Boom~ Boom~
Three mechanically augmented corpses burst into flames one after another, flinging the remaining bio-augmented individual and the beardless leader behind a huge rock, in a most pitiful state...
"Who the hell are you?! Why are you attacking us! Behind me stands Lord Pavas! Is this some kind of misunderstanding?"
Glancing at a cracked Cross Medal, the beardless leader’s face was full of distress, daring only to hide behind the rock and parley with words.
The fellow with the bio-augmentations beside him fared even worse, his body blasted, bleeding profusely, charred all over.
Blood continued to trickle onto the ground.
Tao Yu had no intention of answering; he’d remotely taken down three self-destructive dogs, and dealing with these two manually wouldn’t be a problem.
He proceeded unfalteringly toward the rock behind which the two had taken cover.
The sound of his footsteps was unabashed.
This made the complexions of the two Pioneers behind the rock gradually twist into ferocity.
You, a gunslinger, think you can simply circle around to finish us off?!
Do you realize why the two of us survived your earlier attack?!
The two exchanged looks, then almost simultaneously burst out from either side of the rock, attacking Tao Yu from left and right, coordinating seamlessly.
Flowing Water, Evasion, Breakthrough Assault, Acceleration—the man with the pallid face augmented himself with four Battle Techniques at once, his body’s surface cracking from the immense strain, exposing sinewy crimson tendons.
Yet it indeed pushed his speed, destructive power, and reflexes to the limit.
The short blade in his hand was erratic in the air, seemingly capable of evolving any Assassin move, covering all directions in its attack.
On the other side, the charred figure with the bio-augmentation saw his left arm explode in an instant, transforming into four tendrils of flesh and blood that lashed towards Tao Yu, with a sharp white bone spike in the midst.
In terms of sheer prowess, the desperate strikes of the two were indeed substantial. Read exclusive chapters at empire
Whirr~
The fluttering blade paused just in front of Tao Yu, trembling as if leaving behind high-frequency afterimages, yet it stubbornly couldn’t close the gap beyond two and a half feet!
The four tendrils of flesh, on the other hand, stopped three feet from Tao Yu, with only that inconspicuous white bone spike advancing a foot further, surprising even Tao Yu.
"Not bad in terms of strength..."
Seeing Tao Yu’s reaction, the two men, who had pushed their bodies to the brink to deliver a deadly blow, now couldn’t help but show signs of despair.
What kind of monster is this?
Aren’t you supposed to be good at shooting?
And yet our combined, strained assault can’t even penetrate your outermost defense?!
Couldn’t you at least lift a finger?!
"Not bad, let’s leave it at that, then."
Tao Yu casually flicked his sleeve with one hand, the force of the Qiankun Great Shift intertwined, cutting off the head of the bio-augmented Pioneer with the short blade, while the bone spike pierced through the pallid-faced man’s body, bringing both to fall, consumed by regret.
"Ah, eight of them, ah... how will I explain this when I get back, I’ll get scolded…"
Looking at the corpses strewn all over the ground, Tao Yu rifled through the bodies while also letting out a sigh of regret, having previously agreed to refrain from killing Pioneers; yet they kept pathetically throwing themselves at him.
Too much...
