Hidden Moth-Chapter 393 - 220: Hidden Moth Challenges Two Masters

The flying shuttle was shot across the road, instantly turning the branches it touched into powder as it passed through the bushes.

Zou Tianjin deflected it with a magical treasure, and in mid-air, it changed angle like a fish swimming in water, shooting again... A series of bell sounds could be heard in his divine sense.

The Jade Locking Pillar, transformed into a coiling Golden Flood Dragon, encased Zou Tianjin’s form like a bell, while the flying shuttle struck the Golden Bell like a heavy hammer, with extreme speed and great force.

In reality, they did not make any sound; the flying shuttle danced wildly in the darkness. The invisible protective barrier surrounding Zou Tianjin was struck by the flying shuttle, producing dim golden light like ripples.

Zou Tianjin wanted to stand up, but the massive impact made it difficult for him to rise immediately. He already had internal injuries and had to abruptly interrupt his treatment, feeling waves of dizziness during the magical combat.

He had already pinpointed the attacker’s location; their cultivation level seemed lower than his. Normally, he could use techniques to restrain and seize them directly, but now he appeared very passive.

With this thought, the golden light surrounding him suddenly manifested as a dragon shape, biting the flying shuttle in mid-air and coiling around it... Zou Tianjin finally stood up.

Just as he controlled the situation, he had a forewarning, and the Golden Flood Dragon abruptly spat out the flying shuttle. Simultaneously, he waved his hand, and a sheet of golden light turned into a cloak, blocking another rainfall-like attack.

Unexpectedly, another assassin was ambushed in the dark; their magical artifact did not attack singly but could release dozens of boomerang-like virtual shadows, not very strong, but flying in unpredictable directions, hard to defend against.

The two assassins formed an equilateral triangle with Zou Tianjin, with distances of over a dozen zhang. The flight of boomerangs from the second assassin was clearly meant to restrain Zou Tianjin, preventing him from having the opportunity to counterattack.

At this point, the flying shuttle again zoomed in, repeatedly unleashing powerful impacts.

Zou Tianjin was amazed and sighed at how much effort was put into targeting him. First, two cars of killers came, followed by a Tier Six Physician, and two high-tier sorcerers were ambushed in the dark.

These two assassins were very tough and coordinated very well, certainly high-tier sorcerers.

Zou Tianjin roughly estimated that the shuttle user’s cultivation level should be slightly lower than his, but likely Tier Five. The other was slightly weaker but should also be a seasoned Tier Four.

Quite a costly effort! If Fabre and these two people were caught today in Chongchuan, it would be a fatal loss to any organization.

Zou Tianjin’s situation was clearly very passive. Why was he still thinking this way? Because he was confident in Elder Gu chasing Fabre; he chose to hold his ground as much as possible.

He just needed to hang on until Elder Gu returned...

The flying shuttle was again deflected by the protective golden light but did not turn and shoot again; instead, it was suddenly retrieved by the assassin, transforming into a shield shape with a thunderous crash.

Someone unexpectedly fired a shot at him, from a distance of twenty meters. The shooter seemed to have appeared suddenly, using a shotgun commonly referred to as a "sprayer," shooting high-speed steel pellets.

The person firing was a man, dressed in sportswear, the typical night jogger look from a city park, but he definitely was not a typical jogger... Who among Eastern Country People would go jogging with a shotgun and wear a mask?

At this moment, He Kao was in double disguise, using Hidden Moth Gauze to appear as a different person and wearing a mask capable of interfering with divine sense. The mask was obtained from Lan Jiwan, and this move was also learned from Lan Jiwan.

The shotgun’s cartridge was empty, with only one bullet in the chamber. After firing, He Kao didn’t care if he hit; he waved the gun and threw it out, using Object Control Skill to disassemble it into a heap of parts in the air.

After breaking through Tier Four, He Kao realized how risky he had been, as using firearms in front of high-tier sorcerers requires extreme caution; they can detonate the gunpowder in bullets or cause the gun to explode with divine sense.

Theoretically, a Tier Three Sorcerer can achieve this, but only theoretically. A Tier Three Sorcerer’s divine sense does not reach far, with weak sensing and control abilities, unable to perform such precise operations in intense fights.

A high-tier cultivator possesses artifact refining and mystical object manipulation ability, even if flesh and blood cannot withstand heavy firearms, they can directly tamper with the firearm using divine sense... it depends on whose divine sense is stronger.

Back when He Kao had only Tier Three Cultivation, he fired two shots with a shotgun to take down the Tier Four Cultivator Hu Shulue, very risky but also lucky. Hu Shulue hadn’t reacted then, holding an Earth Spirit Banner with three other cultivators forming an array. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

He Kao could choose to use divine sense to protect the firearm and stand at a safer distance. As long as the opponent’s divine sense was weaker than his, he could ensure the firearm wasn’t disrupted... but why bother?

The gun was just an auxiliary tool; He Kao was there to protect Zou Tianjin, not the gun. So, after appearing, he fired just one shot, then threw the gun parts as weapons.

Not knowing the names of those two assassins, let’s refer to them as Feisuo Guest and Boomerang Guest.

Feisuo Guest quickly transformed the magical artifact into a shield shape to block He Kao’s gunfire, but secretly thought it wasn’t good.

Neither firing nor throwing a gun hinders mystical object manipulation. He Kao’s real target was not Feisuo Guest; he suddenly appeared to Feisuo Guest’s side, firing and simultaneously releasing a chess piece.
