141: Chapter 129: The Person Behind 141: Chapter 129: The Person Behind Hit!
In “Eagle Eye’s” vision, the turbulent waters of the Da Jiang rged with the mist into a storm, and though the sight was obscured, it was clear that a spray of blood burst forth in the distance amid the river mist, evidently the red-silver bullet had hit its target—
But Qi Lv showed no joy.
In his heart, he didn’t feel the lightness of having killed the target, instead, a sense of unease was spreading within him.
The red-silver bullet hitting the target should not have produced such a massive mist of blood…
Once the strong logic material penetrated the body, a Transcendent’s power would lose control directly, a truly effective shot should be quiet and silent, with far less commotion.
That boy would have been like a beetle crushed.
Quietly dying without a sound.
But now, it obviously wasn’t the case.
What exactly was going on with this shot?
Qi Lv gathered all his spiritual power, forcibly focusing his Eagle Eye vision to further magnify the blurred scene in the distance.
Until he saw a clear image of the distant ice floe—
The trajectory of the red-silver bullet and the faint blood mist that spread out, slowly scattered by the wind.
A richer shade of red began to burn within the river mist…
From afar, it looked like a blood mist, but in reality, it was more like a plu of fiery mist, spreading, wafting, and eventually hovering at the position of the boy’s forehead.
The mont he maxed out the magnification of Eagle Eye, Qi Lv heard a “clack” in his heart.
A spike like force, incredibly rigid, attacked from that wisp of fla, as if it were a spiritual blade that could be transmitted through gaze.
Just one direct look, and it stabbed into the heart.
“…Ugh!”
Qi Lv’s already near-taxing spiritual power took further damage at that mont, his consciousness uncontrollably went into disarray, and with a muffled groan, fresh blood trickled from the corner of his lips…
This boy was a Spiritual Transcendent, and moreover, his abilities were extrely special, seemingly capable of transferring through eye contact.
In so sense, “Eagle Eye” had helped Chi Huo magnify his lethality.
But it was this exchange of looks that confird to Qi Lv the boy wasn’t particularly strong; if it had been a psychic on the sa level as him, the outco of that exchange of stares would have already been decided.
Good…
Now that I know what I’m dealing with.
He swallowed the taste of blood in his throat, suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and quite fiercely readied the sniper rifle again.
This ti, he didn’t load a red-silver bullet.
It was a Purple Silver.
…
…
The mont Chu Ling spoke, Gu Shen sensed the crisis.
His Chi Huo had warned him even before Chu Ling’s reminder.
Heeding the warning from within, he turned his head, and the next instant, a streak of blood-red line pierced across the Da Jiang, grazing his forehead, the red-silver bullet skimd the flesh, not causing any substantial harm aside from drawing a trace of blood.
But Chi Huo roared past.
The bullet made of strong logic material had a deadly killing power for Transcendents, for its inherent powerful “order” would suppress the Transcendent’s own disorderly power.
But to Gu Shen’s astonishnt, sothing happened.
The wound from being nicked on his forehead turned into fine droplets of bursting blood because of the bullet’s extre speed upon contact, the next mont these droplets exploded on their own, transforming into a mist-like crystal spread.
Just a tiny amount of blood had burst into a quite fluffy cloud of red mist.
“This is the normal reaction of red silver material to a Transcendent’s blood,”
Chu Ling said softly: “This bullet, which is extrely poisonous to ordinary Transcendents, has quite limited effects on you.”
The Chi Huo spread, engulfing Gu Shen’s blood.
The blood tainted with red silver, encountered an even more powerful “order”, and at this mont began to retract, no longer expanding, but absorbed into the mist of flas.
“Your power is not ‘disorder’, but ‘order’…
And the order of red silver is not as strong as yours,”
Chu Ling said: “Of course…
this just shows that strong logic material has limited erosive effect on you, if you’re directly hit by the bullet, that’s a different story.”
Is that so…
Gu Shen touched his wound, finding almost no pain at all.
Incredible.
His Chi Huo ability was to re-establish order in matter to so extent; similarly ordering red-silver bullets that sought order simply couldn’t disrupt Chi Huo, on the contrary, they would be stripped of their own order by his Chi Huo.
On such a basis, he deduced that the strong logic material bullet’s erosion effect on him would be very minor…
What he needed to consider was the frontal attacking piercing power of the bullet.
“So, I just need to dodge the bullets…”
Gu Shen looked into the distance, taking a deep breath.
The Chi Huo twined around his brow, his spiritual power extended outward like a barrier.
Qi Lv’s profile showed his ability was “Eagle Eye”, practically a born top-quality sniper with exceptional dynamic vision; unless he could move as fast as Song Ci, it would be difficult to avoid being locked by his sights.
Gu Shen hardly moved his position.
He was well aware…
his speed was still far from enough to dodge the “Eagle Eye’s” tracking, trying to cause Qi Lv’s sniping to miss by dodging was nearly impossible.
Moving or not, there was no difference.
“The mont Eagle Eye locks on to , I can launch a spiritual spike at him…
maybe even hypnotize,” Gu Shen murmured softly: “Too bad, my spiritual power isn’t strong enough, these are just harassnt tactics.”
Qi Lv had earlier focused Eagle Eye and Gu Shen had already launched a spiritual spike.
But there was a significant gap in strength between them.
That strike was blocked; although burdenso for Qi Lv, it was still bearable.
“But…
to make the bullet deviate, harassnt is enough.”
“The next ti Eagle Eye locks on, I will concentrate all my spiritual power to attack; victory or defeat will be decided in an instant.”
Gu Shen knew that this was the only chance he had to dodge the sniper shot.
During the previous showdown with Song Ci, Qi Lv had activated Hawk Eye more than once, and his spiritual power was on the verge of losing control.
How many more shots could he fire?
As long as he could cause Qi Lv’s Hawk Eye to deviate under the harsh river surface conditions…
Firing another shot would completely change his mindset from before.
“Co on.”
Gu Shen rallied his spirit and concentrated all his attention.
He was waiting for the second gaze of Hawk Eye.
…
…
When the first red-silver bullet pierced through the river, shattering water droplets and leaving behind a long bloody crimson line.
Song Ci and Chen i were in the midst of a fierce battle.
The sound of the gunshot was very faint…
but for Transcendents of their caliber, no slightest movent could escape their senses.
Chen i’s expression remained unchanged as he actively grabbed Song Ci’s wrists, dragging the scene into a wrestling match.
“Bastard!
Shooting a concealed shot…”
Song Ci’s pupils constricted.
Unrestricted, he could have caught the bullet in ti, but the action of pinching the bullet was impossible to perform as he was drawn into the prolonged wrestling by Chen i, and he could only watch helplessly as the bullet flew over the river.
Fortunately.
Gu Shen’s abilities were sowhat special.
So the bullet ultimately didn’t harm him.
His expression was grim as he stared at Qi Lv in the distance.
“Are you worried about that kid?” Chen i whispered, “Or think about how you’re going to deal with .”
Crow said in a low voice, “Tonight is the battle between you and …”
“I’m not interested in fighting with you.
My only target…
is him.”
Chen i looked towards Gu Shen, squinting involuntarily at the fiery red light erging far away.
Chen i then refocused on Song Ci, speaking indifferently, “As for whether he lives or dies, it doesn’t really matter.”
These words were spoken for Crow to hear.
He saw that Crow cared a lot about the young man’s life and death.
In fact, he cared too…
The young man had successfully infiltrated the South Bay Building tonight and escaped.
He had to find out the truth behind this incident.
If possible, Chen i didn’t want to kill Gu Shen directly.
“Qi Lv’s ‘Hawk Eye’ can guarantee a hundred percent hit rate, and the next bullet in the sniper rifle is the Purple Silver Bullet,” Chen i reminded, “The only one who can stop that bullet is you.”
“What are you trying to say?” Crow’s forehead bulged with veins.
“I an…
you don’t have much ti left,” said Chen i.
Chen i spoke slowly, “Really, not much ti is left.”
As his words fell to the ground.
Chen i glanced briefly backward, and with that glance, the flow of ti in the entire world seed to slow down.
At the other end of the river, Qi Lv, poised with his gun, exhibited a small tremor in his statue-like stance—a grimace and spasm across his face muscles, the result of the sniper rifle’s recoil at the mont of firing.
The purple-silver bullet’s light blood fully within the slowed flow of ti, like a strange and lethal otherworldly flower.
Song Ci focused all his attention on that bullet, and in the world where ti slowed down, his blurred figure barely returned to normal.
As he turned his head, a look of surprise flowed from the depths of his eyes.
He stared at Chen i in disbelief.
The only person unaffected by the flow of ti was Chen i.
Chen i instantly broke free from the deadlock of the wrestling pose.
Kneeling, bowing, treading water.
The whole action was incredibly smooth; in the slowed world, his speed was even faster than that of the purple-silver bullet, and the whole river fell into an eerie silence.
An invisible domain blossod.
This domain ca from Chen i, his brows exuding a terrifying silver light, ti walking slowly while he remained unaffected—Da Du’s records in the Sincere Heart Association had no ntion of Chen i’s abilities.
Because in Da Du, no opponent was worth him activating this domain.
In this duel, his goal had always been clear, not to defeat Crow but to take Gu Shen, so he was always waiting for a mont… a mont when Crow couldn’t manage both ends.
The Purple Silver Bullet and himself.
Now, the mont had arrived.
When the domain receded, only 0.5 seconds had passed in the real world.
Perhaps, one second.
When the domain was lifted—
Chen i was already standing in front of Gu Shen.
He didn’t make a move.
He just stood there quietly.
The second gunshot from afar did not sound.
The whole river was silent, as if all sound had been suppressed.
Sweat trickled from Chen i’s forehead.
He made no movent…
because he felt…
Soone was standing right behind him.
