Cataclysm King

Chapter 39
There are not too 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 was already a well-prepared ambush circle.

"It should be that there are people squatting in places where there are many 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 I just came here not long ago.

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

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

And if 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 the hunt.

But now it seems that it is difficult.

Many thoughts flashed through Ji Xun's mind at once, 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 persons.

Ji Xun's unhurried walk did not attract anyone's attention.

Originally, as long as he walked into the darkness by himself and used the shadows to sneak, he would be able to escape with a high probability.

However, at this time, something suddenly 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 the people around him, like a muttering sorceress, as if she is releasing some secret technique.

The moment her gaze passed, the old woman also saw him, and her expression changed instantly.

"Discovered!"

Ji Xun keenly captured the details of the old woman's pupil shrinkage, and immediately knew that he had been discovered.

He didn't wait for the opponent's reaction at all, and decisively acted first.

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

Fast as lightning!
"Oh!"

"Oh!"

At the same time as the two gunshots, the old woman just raised her hand and pointed: "It'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 the spell card master, but for the card master apprentice, the head is also deadly!
These two shots were so decisive that the two of them didn't know where the bullets came from until they died.

Ji Xun killed the two encircled mercenaries accurately 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, raised her hand and "whoosh" "whoosh" just 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]!"

When Ji Xun saw this, his expression was stern, and a sneer sneered at the corner of his mouth: The order these guys got was indeed to keep 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.

Ever 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, as if time slowed down ten times, the bullet caused a series of waves in the air, and hit the red-haired woman's 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, and there was only indifference in her crystal eyes, because the threat of bullets to official spell card masters was very limited.

The magic power surged in her body instantly, and she watched the bullet stop in the air a foot away in front of her.

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

But immediately, 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 fired not once, but twice!

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

And because the firing rate is so fast, it sounds like there is only one gunshot.

This is high-level firearms specialization!
The bullets obviously passed the senses quickly, 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, like human breathing, it is not always the strongest defense.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 single hit, the vibration from 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 guns are also very confusing.

One shot conceals the eyes and ears, but the second shot hides the 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 it didn't penetrate.

The red-haired girl's face darkened: She was actually injured?Injured by an apprentice?
A shield in his hand shattered at the same time.

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

"Sure enough, it's not 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.

There was a pity in my heart.

To be honest, spell card masters of the magic system are definitely the most difficult to deal with. I wanted to see if I could take advantage of the enemy's ignorance of my spear skills and catch them by surprise.

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

But it's 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, only taking the slightest chance.

But the other party is not alone!

The moment he fired, the man dressed as a ranger also drew his gun and fired 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, and broke the steel wire decisively.The body stopped the forward pulling force instantly, and began to fall!
And 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 cable just now, the shot would have hit the thigh just right.

Although firearms are convenient, their power is not small.

But the biggest drawback is the high probability of predictability.

In a short distance, the bullet trajectory is almost straight, 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.

When Ji Xun fired the gun just now, he had already caught the action 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 the prediction, Ji Xun himself would have been shot by just relying on his nervous reaction.

"Fall?"

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 in so many years.

And the only one.

However, what surprised those few people was still behind!
As soon as Ji Xun landed, 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 on the hillside, so there are cliffs with high drops 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 other 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 he couldn't fight, it was impossible to even escape normally.

That's why I jumped off this cliff decisively.

Seeing this, the four black water regiments were all taken aback.

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

Normally, when looking at a cliff, humans would instinctively stop and observe to confirm how to exert force and where it landed.

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

Is this being forced to panic?
But they didn't know that Ji Xun had carefully observed the surrounding terrain before entering Dark Rain Street.

Even several escape routes have already been planned.

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

This is a jump, not a blind jump, but a well-prepared one.

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

The goal he had finally waited for was right in front of him, 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 had 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 dared to jump, why didn't he 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.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

Two more shots.

So decisive!
At this moment, the Ranger was still leaping in mid-air with the momentum of dashing, and had nowhere to use his strength. This was almost a living target.

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

Ranger cursed inwardly.

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

There was no forward movement of aiming, and he shot directly, which means that the guy predicted the exact location of his jumping off the cliff.

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

The straight line between the two points is the shortest, and this point is the closest to chasing and jumping off the cliff from my previous position.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 expect it to be underestimated.

But after all, he is a professional ranger who is officially a spell card master. His thoughts flashed in his mind, and the spell spirit surged all over his body. Suddenly, his feet stepped on the air.

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

"A very high agility attribute."

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

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

It is enough for the bullet to stop the enemy for a moment.

After all, if he didn't shoot, the Ranger could jump down from a height of more than [-] 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 buffer 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.

Seeing 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.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

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 didn't hesitate, and jumped down after Ji Xun.

If everyone fell by free fall, Ji Xun would not be afraid.

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

It was just 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, seeing that he was about to catch someone, his eyes met, but 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 tore off a drawstring on his chest.

When 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 want to live? !
Even if the blast bombs are usually not fatal, wouldn't an apprentice be courting death at such a close distance?

"Oh!"

Visible overpressure air 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 also with this strength, his whole body accelerated towards the darkness like a cannonball.

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

The 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 launching 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.

Only then did everyone realize that from the very beginning, the guy chose to jump off the cliff not because he was in a panic, but because he wanted to jump into the dark river.

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

The warrior captain looked at the dark underground river filled with thick fog, his eyes 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 facts are in sight.

Not just escaped.

He also slapped them hard in the face.

Now that I think about it, these mercenaries only found out.

From the very beginning, the guy displayed an almost inhuman calmness and good judgment.

During the fierce pursuit of just one minute, 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 group of people in Heishuituan realized that this guy was not only thoughtful, but also possessed a madness that ordinary people didn't have.

Even if the bomb didn't kill him, it would 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?
If there was any hesitation in the whole escape process, or a mistake, he would be caught!

But the guy didn't!

Not once!

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

There is not a single extra movement in the whole process, and there is no mistake!

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!"

With that said, he took off the mechanical equipment and jumped down first.

If the target were to escape, they could already think of their own ending.

　Thanks to 'Yongye' 1000, 'Krel' 500, 'Qianmo' 500, 'Nanshannan 04' for their support, thank you very much.
