Chapter 39: Surrounding and Killing
There are not many pedestrians in the black market.
Ji Xun walked out of the shop and onto the street, without any panic in his steps.
He knew very well that the other party did not know his appearance. Even if the mysterious spell divined his position, he might not be able to immediately determine who he was in the crowd!
Looking around, Ji Xun soon saw some men in suits appearing on the street with quick steps and eyes searching the crowd.
There are them all over the streets.
Looking at the posture, it was already an ambush circle that had been prepared.
"There should be people squatting in crowded places in the city."
Ji Xun realized that his luck in being discovered was only one of them. The most important thing was that the enemy had cast a wide net.
It is not surprising that the Governor Cao family has this ability.
At the same time, he immediately judged something: "So, the mysterious spell just now should have a release range."
I came to the Anyu Street black market today on a whim, and it didn't take long.
But since these people have formed an encirclement in such a short period of time, they have obviously been ambushing here for a long time.
In other words, he was a rabbit that hit a tree stump.
And since he was not caught elsewhere, there is a high probability that the mysterious spell has a casting range.
So as long as he leaves Dark Rain Street, he should be able to escape pursuit.
But now it seems that it is difficult.
Many thoughts flashed through Ji Xun's mind. He did not walk towards the main road leaving the street, but towards the dark alleys.
As he expected, the men in suits didn't know which one was the target. They were still looking around in the crowd, searching for suspicious persons.
Ji Xun's leisurely walking did not attract anyone's attention.
Originally, as long as he walked into the darkness and used the shadow to sneak, he would most likely be able to escape.
However, at this time, something strange happened suddenly.
Suddenly.
Among the crowd, Ji Xun saw a white-haired old woman wearing a black robe.
This person's aura is obviously different from the people around him. He looks like a nagging goddess, and seems to be releasing some secret technique.
Just for a moment, the old woman saw him, and her expression changed instantly.
“Discovered!”
Ji Xun keenly captured the details of the old woman’s pupils shrinking, and immediately knew that he had been discovered.
He did not wait for the other party to react and struck decisively first.
Ji Xun put his hands on his waist and heard the gunshot almost as he drew the gun.
As fast as lightning!
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Two gunshots rang out at the same time, and the old woman just raised her hand and pointed: "That's him!"
But at this moment, the two mercenaries in the crowd who had been shot in the eyebrows fell down.
Although ordinary armor-piercing bullets are difficult to kill the curse card master, for the card master apprentice, hitting the head is also fatal!
The two shots were so decisive that the two men did not know where the bullets came from until they died.
Ji Xun accurately killed the two encircling mercenaries with two shots, and immediately there was a gap in the encirclement.
But at the same time, the four spell card masters beside the old woman also reacted immediately.
The red-haired woman reacted very quickly. She raised her hand and "swish" and "swish" several cards shot through the crowd and landed on the ground in front of Ji Xun in the blink of an eye.
I felt my feet suddenly softened, as if I had stepped on quicksand, and my body instantly lost its balance.
"[Quicksand Technique]!"
When Ji Xun saw this, his expression was stern, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: These guys were indeed ordered to stay alive.
This method only traps people, not kills them.
This is the biggest benefit!
I can't exert any force under my feet, and I'm about to be trapped.
But he was also prepared.
Ji Xun raised his hand and activated the mechanical sleeve arrow hidden in his arm towards the iron fence on the second floor not far away.
With a "swish" sound, an extremely thin steel wire popped out at high speed and was instantly fastened to the iron railing. When the trigger was pulled again, the mechanical device in the sleeve rebounded at high speed, and a traction force suddenly He pulled Ji Xun out and left the floor tiles that had turned into quicksand.
Since the last time he saw Chujiu using that kind of mechanical sleeve arrow to escape, Ji Xun had arranged it for himself.
When used properly, this thing is definitely a life-saving tool.
In mid-air, Ji Xun was not idle. He turned around and shot him.
With a "bang" sound, bullets ejected from the muzzle of the gun.
At this moment, it was as if time slowed down ten times. The bullet caused a string of air waves in the air and hit the red-haired woman in the head.
How fast is the bullet?
If there is no prejudgment, this is simply not something that a physically weak spell card master can avoid.
But the red-haired woman didn't have any intention of avoiding it. There was only indifference in her crystal eyes, because the threat of bullets to the official spell card master was very limited.
Her magic power surged, and she watched the bullet stop in the air a foot away from her.
Looking closely, what blocked the bullet was a light yellow magical light shield.
But then, the red-haired woman's eyes changed suddenly, because she saw the second bullet in her eyes, and her heart became cold: "[Annihilation Demon Bullet]!"
Only then did she realize that the guy just fired not one shot, but two shots!
Only a gunman with extremely high marksmanship skills can turn the reaction force of the bullet out of the chamber into a secondary firing force and fire two shots in a very short period of time.
And because the firing speed was so fast, it only sounded like a gunshot.
This is high-level firearms specialization!
The bullets obviously exceeded the senses, and the two bullets hit the same point on the magic shield.
The spell on the black bullet instantly corroded the shield, and it went in with a "swish" sound.
Although the spell shield is strong, it is just like human breath, it is not the strongest defense at all times. Instead, the spell card master needs to actively concentrate the spell power in a certain direction to achieve the strongest defensive effect.
After a hit, the vibration caused by the shock wave will greatly reduce the stability of the shield.
Another point is that the active release of the mantra shield is directly related to people's subjective consciousness, and the subjective strength of picking up cotton and picking up a piece of iron are completely different.
These two guns are also very confusing.
One shot is a cover-up, but the second shot is the hidden murderous intent!
As expected, the [Annihilation Bomb] easily broke through the shield, hitting the red-haired woman on the forehead with a "clang".
Blood flowed.
But there was no penetration.
The red-haired woman’s face turned dark: She was actually injured? Injured by an apprentice?
A shield in his hand collapsed at the same time.
Just by meeting each other, the members of the Blackwater Mercenary Group immediately realized how difficult their target was.
"It's really not that easy to kill."
Ji Xun looked at the red-haired woman standing there. Although her head was badly bruised, she was not dead.
I secretly thought it was a pity.
To be honest, the magic spell card master is definitely the most difficult to deal with. I wanted to try to catch the enemy unaware of his level of spear skills, so he could catch them by surprise.
Facts have proved that in the face of absolute strength, skills and equipment can only make up for the gap.
But it’s not completely useless.
At least it stopped this woman from continuing to draw cards and fight.
Enough.
The shooting only took a moment, but the enemies were obviously experienced mercenaries.
Ji Xun fired decisively and only had a slight advantage.
But the other person is not the same person!
The moment he fired, the man in the Ranger costume also drew his gun and fired.
When Ji Xun saw it, his body was pulled in mid-air by the steel cable and he could not avoid it.
Seeing that the trajectory of his landing was about to coincide with the trajectory of the gun's muzzle, he seemed to have expected it and decisively cut off the wire. The body immediately stopped pulling forward and began to fall!
Almost at the same time as he fell, there was a "clang" and fire splashed out, and a bullet had already hit the railing two feet away.
If he had not given up the tightrope decisively just now, this shot would have hit his thigh.
Although firearms are convenient, they are also powerful.
But the biggest disadvantage is that the probability of prediction is very high.
At short distances, bullets have an almost straight trajectory and can only be fired from the muzzle.
So from the moment the target draws the gun to pulling the trigger, as long as you have enough experience, there are many opportunities to predict.
Advanced firearms specialization not only refers to shooting skills, but also the understanding of marksmanship!
You can even guess the impact point of the projectile from the intention of the enemy's gaze.
When Ji Xun fired just now, he had already captured the action of the ranger drawing his gun out of the corner of his eye. At that time, he had actually predicted that the ballistic impact point of the guy would be his thigh.
The opponent's gun skills are not bad either, at least to the level of an intermediate specialist.
If it weren't for pre-judgment, just based on his neurological reaction, Ji Xun himself would have been shot.
"Failed?"
Seeing this scene, the ranger who fired the shot was obviously a little unbelievable.
He never expected that a card master apprentice could avoid his shot. Such superb gun skills!
Even if it was an enemy, the ranger secretly exclaimed.
Just this accurate prediction made him no longer underestimate him.
A card master apprentice was able to injure one person in the face of their team's encirclement tactics, and even avoided his own shooting.
This is the first one in so many years.
And the only one.
However, what surprised those people even more was what was behind!
As soon as Ji Xungang landed, he jumped down towards the platform behind him without any hesitation.
Jumped off a cliff!
The buildings in Innocence City are very tall and are built on the mountains, so there are cliffs with high drops everywhere in the city.
The black market is here on Anyu Street, not just because the place is remote. This is because the terrain here is special and extremely complex. In the event of an accident, the merchants and customers in the black market have no chance of being surrounded.
On one side of Anyu Street is a building cliff with a drop of tens of meters.
Ji Xun just chose to break out from this direction, and that was his original intention.
He knew very well that there were several official spell card masters among the enemy, and they had already planned it.
Not to mention being invincible, even escaping is impossible.
That's why I jumped off the cliff decisively.
Seeing this, the four-person team of the Black Water Group were all stunned.
This guy jumped off a cliff without any hesitation?
Normally speaking, when looking at a cliff, humans will instinctively stop and observe to confirm how to exert force and where to land.
But this guy didn’t even look at it and jumped right away?
Are you being forced into a panic?
But how did they know that Ji Xun had carefully observed the nearby terrain before entering Anyu Street.
Several escape routes have even been planned.
At this moment, he already had the entire complex street scene in his mind like a 3D drawing. Even if he didn't look at it, he knew exactly where he would land if he jumped.
This jump is not a blind jump, but a well-prepared jump.
Seeing this, the warrior captain shouted hurriedly: "Third brother, stick to that guy, don't let him escape!"
The target you finally waited for is right in front of you, how could you let people escape?
The ranger's shot missed, and his reaction was extremely fast, without warning at all. The team's many years of tacit understanding already let him know what to do. He slammed his feet on the ground, as fast as a ghost, and also jumped towards the cliff.
A card master apprentice dares to jump, why don’t I dare?
His ranger profession is the best at tracking!
It's impossible for the enemy to escape even if he jumps off a cliff!
However, just as he jumped out of the cliff, he suddenly saw the rapidly falling figure turning around and raising his gun, and the dark muzzle of the gun was aimed at him.
Almost as soon as he showed his head, tongues of fire were already gushing out.
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
Two more shots.
So decisive!
At this time, the ranger was still flying in the air with the inertia of the rush, and had nowhere to draw on. He was almost a living target.
"Damn it, how can a card master apprentice have such superb marksmanship!"
The ranger cursed secretly in his heart.
The previous two shots could be said to be luck, but these two shots tested real skills.
There was no pre-aiming action and he fired directly, which meant that the guy predicted the exact location where he would jump off the cliff.
The ranger himself is also a gunsmith close to the advanced level, and he knows the basis for prediction very well.
The straight line between the two points is the shortest. If I have to chase my previous position and jump off the cliff, only this point is the closest. It is actually not difficult to predict this, but what is difficult is that in such a situation, the guy did not panic at all, predicted and fired at the right time?
The terror of this consciousness is not much worse than that of a gun master!
I thought I had overestimated it, but unexpectedly I underestimated it.
After all, he is a professional ranger who is a formal spell card master. Thoughts flashed through his mind, and the spell spirit surged all over his body. His feet suddenly stepped on the air, and his body actually used the force in the air to avoid it in a thrilling way. Shot these two shots.
The ranger flipped in the air, staring at the target that was about to land, feeling a chill.
“Such a high agility attribute.”
Seeing his two shots miss, Ji Xun’s expression did not change at all.
He hadn't been able to kill the spell card master before, so he didn't expect the gun to be able to kill the assassin spell card master with extremely high physical agility.
The bullet can stop the enemy for a moment, which is enough.
After all, if he didn't shoot, the ranger could have jumped down from a height of more than 20 meters and caught himself in mid-air.
Although his body stats have skyrocketed, the gap between him and the assassin spell card master is still very large.
Besides, if Ji Xun didn't want to break his leg, he would need a buffer when he landed. He shot the wire from his sleeve again and pulled it in the air to slow down his fall.
For experts, this amount of time can completely make up for the time difference from jumping off the cliff to catch up, but it was only because of the two shots just now that the gap widened again.
In Ji Xun's field of vision, behind the ranger, the warrior captain and a dozen mercenaries also jumped down from the cliff.
When he saw this, he decisively dropped a few grenades at the landing position, turned around and ran away.
Under the platform where he landed, there was another dark cliff, and Ji Xun jumped down again without hesitation.
“Bang!”
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Three grenades exploded on the platform, and the firelight instantly illuminated the dark surroundings.
Several figures were blown away, but the captain and several other mercenaries also rushed out of the fire.
They also did not hesitate and jumped down after Ji Xun.
If everyone falls by free fall, Ji Xun is not afraid.
But the guys at the back obviously have the ability to accelerate their fall in the air, which is very troublesome.
Just two or three breaths after this second cliff jump, the ranger was as fast as a ghost, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of him almost face to face!
There is no way to borrow force in mid-air, not even a grip point for ejecting the steel cable.
Ji Xun could almost see the cold look in the enemy's eyes a few meters away, as if to say: I've got you!
However, what the ranger didn't expect was that he was about to catch someone. When their eyes met, he didn't see even a trace of panic in the target's eyes?
At this moment of doubt, a sinister smile flashed across Ji Xun's eyes, and he suddenly pulled off a drawstring on his chest.
Seeing this, the ranger's pupils shrank suddenly: "Shock bomb!"
He never expected that this guy would explode the shock bomb directly on his body.
Does this guy not want to live? !
Even though shock bombs are usually not fatal, at such a close distance, wouldn't an apprentice be looking for death?
“Bang!”
Visible overpressure air exploded between the two. Although Ji Xun was wearing bulletproof plates, even so, the close-range explosion made his chest feel as if he had been hit by a train head-on. His energy and blood surged, and he fainted instantly.
But with this force, his whole body accelerated and fell into the darkness like a cannonball.
Seeing the explosion coming, the ranger instinctively made a defensive posture, but was also knocked backwards by the shock bomb.
The assassin saw that the target was far away, and he flew backwards, unable to stop it. He could only pull the launcher towards the figure that was flying backwards, and with a "pop", a metal mesh bag was launched towards the figure that was exploding.
The sound of "crash~" falling into the water sounded.
The target fell into the underground river and lost its trace.
Everyone then realized that from the beginning, the guy’s choice of jumping off the cliff was not at all out of panic, but just to jump into the dark river.
This is also the only way they can think of for a card master apprentice to escape from the siege.
The warrior captain looked at the foggy underground river with gloomy eyes.
I thought that I was just a card master apprentice. As long as I dared to appear on Dark Rain Street, it would be absolutely impossible to escape from their team.
But the facts are right in front of us.
Not just escaped.
He also slapped them hard in the face.
Now that I think about it, these mercenaries discovered it.
From the beginning, the guy showed almost inhuman calmness and accurate judgment.
In this short one-minute intense pursuit, every shot the guy fired was just right, buying himself precious time to escape. Every step of his escape seemed to have been carefully calculated, landing on the step that might be the only one with hope of escaping.
It wasn’t until the end, watching the guy pull the detonating bomb close to his face, that the Black Water Group realized that this was not only a thoughtful guy, but he also had an aura that ordinary people don’t have. of madness.
Even if the blast bomb cannot kill him, it will probably cause him to faint. Now being restrained by an iron net and falling into the water, can he still survive? Can you choke on the river water and wake yourself up?
This guy really didn't hesitate at all to seek a chance of survival in death?
If there was even a trace of hesitation or a mistake in the entire escape process, he would be caught!
But that guy didn’t!
Not once!
Shooting, jumping off cliffs, blasting bombs, falling into the water accurately.
There was not a single extra movement in the whole process, no mistakes!
The fog has sunk to the surface of the river, and the visibility is less than two meters. Even with a flare, you can only see a thick fog on the river.
The captain's face turned extremely dark, and he shouted loudly: "Get into the water! No matter what, we must find the person!"
As he said that, he took off his mechanical equipment and jumped first And down.
If they really want that target to escape, they can already think of their own ending.
