MTL - Cataclysm King-Chapter 39 Siege

  Chapter 39 Siege

  There are quite a few pedestrians in the black market.

  Ji Xun walked out of the shop and came to the street without any panic.

  He knew very well that the other party didn't know his appearance. Even if his position was divined by a mysterious spell, he might not be able to immediately determine which one he was in the crowd!

  Looking around, Ji Xun soon saw some men in suits appearing on the street with hurried steps and eyes searching the crowd.

  There are street and street.

  Looking at the posture, it is already a well-prepared ambush circle.

   "It should be that there are people squatting in places with a lot of people in the city."

  Ji Xun realized that luck was only one of them, and the most important thing was that the enemy had cast a wide net.

  It is not surprising that Governor Cao's 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 dark rain street black market today on a whim, and it wasn't long after I came here.

  But since these people have formed an encirclement circle in such a short period of time, it is obvious that they have ambushed here long ago.

   In other words, he was the rabbit that hit the tree stump.

   And it was not caught elsewhere, there is a high probability that the mysterious spell has a casting range.

  So as long as you leave Dark Rain Street, you should be able to escape the hunt.

   But now it seems that it is very difficult.

   Many thoughts flashed through Ji Xun's mind. He didn't walk towards the main road leaving the street, but walked towards those dark alleys.

  As he expected, those men in suits didn't know which one was the target, and they were still looking around in the crowd, looking for suspicious people.

  Ji Xun walked unhurriedly without attracting anyone's attention.

  Originally, as long as he walked into the darkness by himself and used the shadows to sneak, he would have a high probability of getting out.

  However, at this time, something strange happened.

Sudden.

  Among the crowd, Ji Xun saw a white-haired old woman in a black robe.

  This person's aura is obviously different from that of the people around him, like a muttering sorceress, as if she is releasing some secret technique.

  The moment her gaze passed by, the old woman also 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 didn't wait for the opponent to react at all, so he decisively acted first.

  Ji Xun touched his waist with both hands, and heard the gunshot almost as soon as he drew his gun.

   Lightning-fast!

   "Boom!"

   "Boom!"

  Two gunshots were fired at the same time, and the old woman just raised her hand and pointed: "That's him!"

   But at this moment, the two mercenaries who had been shot in the eyebrows in the crowd had already fallen down.

  Although ordinary armor-piercing bullets are difficult to kill a card master, for a card master apprentice, the head is also deadly!

  The two shots were so decisive that the two men didn't know where the bullets came from until they died.

   Ji Xun accurately killed the two encircled mercenaries with two shots, and there was a gap in the encirclement immediately.

   But at the same time, the four spell card masters beside the old woman also reacted immediately.

  The red-haired woman reacted very quickly, raising her hand "whoosh" "whoosh" and a few cards shot through the crowd, and cut into the ground in front of Ji Xun in a blink of an eye.

  I just felt a sudden softness under my feet, as if stepping on quicksand, and my body instantly lost its balance.

   "[Quick Sand Technique]!"

  Ji Xun saw this, with a serious expression on his face, a sneer sneered at the corner of his mouth: The orders these guys got were indeed to be kept alive.

   This method is only to trap people, not to kill people.

   This is the biggest advantage!

  Unable to exert force under his feet, he was about to be trapped.

   But he was also prepared.

  Ji Xun raised his hand and moved towards the iron fence on the second floor not far away to activate the mechanical sleeve arrow hidden in his arm.

With a sound of "嗖", an extremely thin steel wire popped out at an extremely fast speed, and it was instantly buckled on the iron railing. When the trigger was pulled again, the mechanical device in the sleeve rebounded extremely quickly, and Ji Xun was pulled out by a force of traction. , leaving the floor tiles that have turned into a piece of quicksand.

  Since watching Chu Jiu escape with that mechanical sleeve arrow last time, Ji Xun has arranged for himself.

   This thing is used well, it is definitely a life-saving weapon.

   In mid-air, Ji Xun was not idle, and shot back and crashed.

   With a bang, the bullet spewed out from the muzzle.

   At this moment, it seemed that time had slowed down ten times. The bullet caused a series of waves in the air, and hit the red-haired woman in the head.

   How fast is the bullet?

  If there is no prediction, 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 official spell card masters was very limited.

  She surged with spell power instantly, and watched the bullet stop in the air a foot in front of her.

   Taking a closer look, it was a light yellow mana light shield that blocked the bullet.

  But immediately, the eyes of the red-haired woman changed suddenly, because she saw the second bullet in her eyes, and she felt cold: "[Annihilation Magic Bullet]!"

  It was only then that she realized that the guy fired not once, but twice!

  Only a gunman with extremely high marksmanship skills can turn the reaction force of the bullet ejection into the boost of the second firing, and fire two consecutive shots in a very short time.

   And because the continuous firing speed is too fast, it sounds like there is only one gunshot.

   This is high-level firearms specialization!

   The bullets obviously passed the senses faster, and the two bullets hit the same point on the magic shield.

  The spell on the black warhead corroded the shield in an instant, and got in with a "whoosh".

  Although the spell shield is strong, it is not always the strongest defense just like human breathing. Instead, the spell card master needs to actively condense the spell power and gather it in a certain direction in order 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 magic shield is directly related to the subjective consciousness of a person, and the subjective strength of picking up cotton is completely different from picking up a lump of iron.

   These two shots are also very confusing.

  One shot is deceiving, the second shot is the hidden murderous intent!

  As expected, [Annihilation Bomb] easily broke through the shield, and hit the red-haired woman's forehead with a "clang".

   Blood flowed.

   But there is no penetration.

  The red-haired girl's face darkened: She was actually injured? Injured by an apprentice?

  A shield in his hand burst at the same time.

  Just meeting each other, the members of the Blackwater Mercenary Group immediately realized the difficulty of the target.

   "It really isn't that easy to kill"

  Ji Xun looked at the red-haired woman who was standing there. Although her head was bleeding, she was not dead.

   I secretly thought it was a pity.

   To be honest, spell card masters of the legal system are definitely the most difficult to deal with. I wanted to see if I could catch the enemy by surprise when they didn't know their spear skills.

  Facts have proved that in the face of absolute strength, there is not much gap that skills and equipment can make up.

   But not completely useless.

   At least it prevented the woman from continuing to draw cards to fight.

enough.

   It took only a moment to shoot, but the enemies were obviously experienced old mercenaries.

  Ji Xun shot decisively, so he only took the slightest chance.

  But the other party is not alone!

  The moment he fired, the man in the ranger costume also drew his gun and shot at the same time.

   When Ji Xun saw it, his body was pulled in mid-air by the steel cable, and he couldn't dodge it.

   Seeing that the trajectory of his landing and the trajectory of the muzzle of the gun were about to coincide, he seemed to have expected it long ago, and decisively broke the wire. The body instantly stopped the forward pulling force and began to fall!

  Almost at the same time as the fall, there was a "clang" sound, and flames splashed everywhere, and a bullet had already hit the railing two feet away.

  If he hadn't resolutely given up the wire cable just now, the shot would hit the thigh just right.

   Although firearms are convenient, their power is not small.

  But the biggest disadvantage is that the probability of predictability is very high.

  In a short distance, the trajectory of the bullet is almost a straight line, and it can only be fired from the muzzle.

  So from drawing the gun at the target to pulling the trigger, as long as you have enough experience, there are too many opportunities to predict.

  Advanced firearms specialization not only refers to shooting skills, but also an understanding of spear techniques!

  Even from the intent of the enemy's gaze, one can already guess where the ballistic will fall.

  While Ji Xun fired the gun just now, he had already caught the movement of the ranger drawing his gun from the corner of his eyes. At that time, he had actually predicted that the guy's ballistic landing point was his thigh.

  The opponent's spear skills are not bad, at least at the level of intermediate specialization.

   If it wasn't for prediction, Ji Xun would have been shot by just relying on his nerve response.

   "Falled?"

   Seeing this scene, the ranger who shot was obviously a little unbelievable.

  He never imagined that an apprentice card master could avoid his own shot.

  What a brilliant gun skill!

  Even if it was an enemy, Ranger secretly exclaimed.

   Just this precise prediction made him lose the slightest bit of underestimation.

  A card master apprentice was able to injure one person in front of their team's encirclement tactics, and even avoided his own gunshots.

   This is the first one in so many years.

   is also the only one.

  However, what surprised those people was still to come!

   As soon as Ji Xun landed on the ground, he jumped down towards the platform behind him without any hesitation.

   Jump off a cliff!

  The buildings in Innocence City are all very tall, and they are built against the mountains, so there are cliffs with high drop everywhere in the city.

   And the black market is here on Dark Rain Street, not just because of the remoteness of the place. This is because the terrain here is special and extremely complicated. In the event of an accident, the merchants and customers in the black market would not be surrounded.

  On the side of Dark Rain Street, there is a building cliff with a drop of tens of meters.

  Ji Xun chose to break out from this direction just now, and that was his original intention.

  He knew very well that there were several official spell card masters among the enemies, and they had planned it long ago.

   Not to mention that you can't fight, normally you can't even escape.

  That's why I jumped off this cliff decisively.

  Seeing this, the four Blackwater Squads were all taken aback.

   This guy doesn't hesitate to jump off a cliff?

  Normally speaking, when looking at the cliff, human beings will instinctively stop and observe to confirm how to exert force and where to land.

   But this guy jumped right away without even looking at it?

   Is this being forced to panic?

  How did they know that Ji Xun had carefully observed the surrounding terrain before entering Dark Rain Street.

   Even already planned out several escape routes.

  At this moment, he already has the entire complex street scene in his mind like a 3D drawing. Even if he doesn't look at it, he still knows exactly where he will land when he jumps.

   This jump is not a blind jump, but has been prepared.

   Seeing this, the warrior captain hurriedly shouted: "Third brother, stick to that guy, don't let him escape!"

  The goal that I finally waited for is right in front of me, how could it be possible for people to escape?

  The ranger missed a shot, and his reaction was extremely fast, without any reminder at all. The tacit understanding of the team for many years has already let him know what to do. He stomped on the ground with a speed as fast as a ghost, and also jumped towards the cliff.

  A card master apprentice dares to jump, how can I not dare?

  His ranger profession is the best at tracking!

  Even if the enemy jumps off the cliff, it is impossible to escape!

  However, just as he jumped off the cliff, he suddenly saw the rapidly falling figure turn around and raise his gun, and the black muzzle was aimed at him.

   Almost as soon as he showed himself, tongues of fire gushed out.

   "Boom!"

   "Boom!"

   Another two shots.

  So decisive!

  The ranger is still leaping in mid-air with the inertia of rushing, and has nowhere to borrow power. This is almost a living target.

   "Damn it, how could a card master apprentice have such superb marksmanship!"

   Ranger cursed inwardly.

  The previous two shots can be said to be luck, but these two shots are a test of real skills.

   There was no pre-aiming action, and he shot directly, which means that the guy predicted the exact location of his jump off the cliff.

   Ranger himself is also a gunsmith who is close to advanced specialization, so he is very clear about the basis for prediction.

  The straight line between two points is the shortest, and this point is the closest to the point where I want to catch up and jump off the cliff. It is actually not very difficult to predict this point, but what is so difficult is that under such circumstances, that guy didn't panic at all, predicted and shot at the right time?

   The horror of this consciousness is not much worse than that of a gun master!

  I thought it was overestimated, but I didn't think it was still underestimated.

   But after all, he is a professional ranger who is officially a spell card master. A thought flashed in his mind for a moment, the spell spirit surged all over his body, and his feet suddenly stepped on the air.

  The ranger turned over in the air, staring at the target about to land, feeling a chill.

   "Good high agility attribute."

   Watching his two shots miss, Ji Xun's expression didn't change at all.

  He hadn't been able to kill that spell card master before, and he didn't expect the gun to kill this assassin spell card master with extremely high body agility.

   The bullet can stop the enemy for a moment, which is enough.

  After all, if he didn't shoot, the ranger could jump down from a height of more than 20 meters and catch himself in mid-air.

  Although his physical stats have skyrocketed, there is still a huge gap between him and the Assassin spell card master.

   What's more, if Ji Xun doesn't want to break his leg, he still needs a cushion in the middle of the landing. He shoots the steel wire from his sleeve again, and pulls it in the air to slow down the falling speed.

  For a master, this time can completely make up for the time difference from jumping off the cliff before catching up, but it is because of the two shots just now that the gap has widened again.

   In Ji Xun's vision, behind the ranger, the warrior captain and a dozen mercenaries also jumped off 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 was standing, there was another dark cliff, and Ji Xun jumped down again without hesitation.

   "Boom!"

   "Boom!"

   "Boom!"

  Three grenades exploded on the platform, and the flames instantly illuminated the dark surroundings.

   Several figures were blown away, but the captain and several other mercenaries also rushed out of the flames.

  They also did not hesitate, and jumped down after chasing Ji Xun.

  If everyone falls by free fall, Ji Xun is not afraid.

  But the guys behind obviously have the ability to accelerate the fall in the air, which is a headache.

   It was two or three breaths after jumping off the cliff for the second time, and the ranger was as fast as a ghost, and he almost appeared in front of his face in a blink of an eye!

   There is no way to use force in mid-air, and there is not even a grip point for ejecting the steel cable.

  Ji Xun could almost see the coldness in the eyes of the enemy a few meters away, as if to say: I caught you!

  However, what the ranger didn't expect was that when he saw that he was about to catch someone, he looked at each other, but he didn't see even a trace of panic in the target's eyes?

   At this moment of doubt, Ji Xun flashed a sinister smile, and suddenly tore off a drawstring on his chest.

  When the ranger saw this, his pupils shrank suddenly: "Shock bomb!"

  He never expected that this guy would directly detonate the bomb on his body.

   Does this guy not want to live? !

  Even though the shock bombs are usually not fatal, at such a short distance, wouldn't an apprentice be looking for death?

   "Boom!"

  The overpressured air visible to the naked eye exploded between the two. Although Ji Xun was wearing a bulletproof plate, even so, the close-range explosion made his chest seem to be hit by a train head-on, his blood surged and he fainted instantly.

   But with this force, his whole body accelerated towards the darkness like a cannonball.

  Seeing the explosion coming, the ranger instinctively took a defensive posture, but was also thrown backwards by the shock bomb.

  Assassin saw the distance of the target getting farther away, even if he flew upside down, he couldn't stop it. He could only pull the launch device towards the figure flying upside down, and with a "poof", a metal net bag was launched towards the figure in the explosion.

  The sound of "哗啦~" falling into the water sounded.

  The target fell into the underground river and lost its trace.

  It was only then that everyone realized that from the very beginning, that guy chose to jump off the cliff not because he was in a hurry, but because he wanted to jump into the dark river.

   This was the only way they could think of for a card master apprentice to escape the siege.

  The warrior captain looked at the dark underground river filled with thick fog and his eyes were full of haze.

  I thought it was just a card master apprentice, as long as he dared to appear on Dark Rain Street, it was absolutely impossible to escape from their team.

   But the truth is right there.

   Not just escaped.

   And slapped them hard in the face.

  Thinking about it now, these mercenaries only found out.

  From the very beginning, that guy showed an almost inhuman calmness and accurate judgment.

   During the short one-minute intense pursuit, the guy fired every shot just right, buying himself precious time to escape. Afterwards, every step of his escape seemed to be carefully calculated, and he landed on the step that might be the only one with any hope of escape.

  It wasn't until the end, watching the guy pull the detonation bomb close to his face, that the people in Heishuituan realized that this guy was not only thoughtful, but also possessed a madness that ordinary people don't have.

  Even if the bomb doesn't kill him, it will probably faint. Now bound by iron nets, can he still survive after falling into the water? Can gambling on river water wake you up?

   Seeking a lifeline in death, this guy really didn't hesitate at all?

   As long as there is a slight hesitation in the whole escape process, or a mistake, he will be caught!

   But the guy didn't!

   Not once!

  Shooting, jumping off a cliff, blasting bombs, falling into water with precision.

   There is no extra action in the whole process, no mistakes!

  The fog sank to the surface of the river, and the visibility was less than two meters. Even the flares could only see a thick fog on the river.

  The captain's face was extremely dark, and he shouted loudly: "Go into the water! No matter what, we must find him!"

   As he spoke, he took off the mechanical equipment and jumped down first.

   If the target is really going to escape, they can already think of their own ending.

   Thanks for the support of ‘Yongye’ 1000, ‘Krel’ 500, ‘Qianmo’ 500, and ‘Nanshannan 04’, thank you very much.
