Chapter 234: This Cillin Guy is a Master of Secrets [Part 1]
Ignoring the burning pain on his fingers, Cillin dodged Puno’s elbow strike and punched him straight in the waist. But instead of seizing the opportunity to chain a couple more attacks after the successful strike, Cillin jumped backwards instead. It was because the third shot was about to come.
The second shot was obviously more difficult to grasp compared to the first shot, so he could imagine that the third shot would only be even harder. Cillin needed extra time to analysis the trajectory of the third shot. Even if it was only ten thousandth of a second, it would still increase his analysis’ chances of success.
Requiem stared at Cillin from on top of the skyscraper. She didn’t expect Goryeo would miss his second shot, and she expected even less that Cillin would come away with only some burns caused by the super heated bullet passing in between his fingers in an instant.
How was that possible?
According to Requiem’s knowledge, the type of bullet Goryeo used wasn’t just capable of generating instantaneous super high temperature, but also tremendous air pressure.
The bullet was named “Purgatory’s Thunder Snake”. It was because the bullet traveled as quickly and as irregularly as lightning after it was fired, and it bit its prey like a snake. A snake doesn’t blink; it doesn’t give its target even an eye blink of an opportunity to escape.
The bullet had an erratic trajectory and was capable of generating instantaneous super high temperature and tremendous air pressure. It was already incredibly difficult to dodge the attack, but its side effects were also nothing to scoff at.
That was why Cillin shouldn’t have suffered burn marks only when the bullet had passed through his fingers. According to Requiem’s calculations, he should’ve lost at least a piece of flesh even if the air pressure failed to break his fingers outright. But that wasn’t what had happened in reality.
It would appear that Cillin’s physique was not inferior to Puno’s.
While Requiem was analysing Cillin, Goryeo had fired his third shot. When the bullet was discharged, the muzzle of the gun wasn’t aimed at Cillin, but Cillin could sense very clearly that the bullet was targeted at no one but him.
In reality, Goryeo himself didn’t think that he would be using this special bullet on Cillin. After the second shot had missed its target, Goryeo decided to change plans and switched to this new bullet instead. It was because there was a 60% chance that he would miss if he used the same bullet as before. At best, he would only leave another burn mark on Cillin’s body.
Goryeo was extremely confident with this bullet’s power; it was a bullet that not even Mrs. Griffin and the others would be able to dodge. Moreover, this bullet had incredible penetration power. It was made with a special material and could penetrate even a whole spaceplane. It was a special bullet made from a special material, and Goryeo was absolutely confident in it. Now this, was the real Purgatory’s Thunder Snake!
The first two bullet was at best a “Thunder Snake”, but this bullet was without a doubt the true Prugatory’s Thunder Snake bullet!
There was no telling if Griffin would flip out when she learned that Goryeo had fired a Purgatory’s Thunder Snake bullet at Cillin. After all, there were only two outcomes when a target was snot by Purgatory’s Thunder Snake: grievous injuries, or death. At the very least, Griffin didn’t intend for Cillin to suffer grievous injuries just yet.
Time to see some blood, Goryeo thought to himself.
The bullet cut through the air between the two buildings and travelled swiftly towards Cillin while moving erratically. At the same time, Puno attacked Cillin once more.
It couldn’t be evaded. It was impossible to evade.
Goryeo looked down with a smile on his face.
Clang!
The sparks of clashing metals looked incredibly glaring at night. It was like a snake smashing its head against a tough shield and sprayed blood everywhere.
Goryeo’s smile froze.
Puno also forced himself to a stop.
The loud clang caused everyone to stop fighting and look at Cillin’s direction.
The thin, long blade appeared inconspicuous due to the dark night and the lack of lighting. The dim stars on the sky painted a sheen of cold light on its body. It made all who saw it an indelible shock.
In that moment, it was as if a shar claw had stretched out of the void to block the Purgatory’s Thunder Snake bullet.
It was a blade. It was Oskulos’ blade.
It was a blade that was baptised by countless blood and accompanied a Star Rank Hunter through countless killing grounds.
This one blade seemed to cause the surrounding temperature to drop down to the freezing point.
Bel swallowed every swear word he was going to launch at these people for using a gun back down his throat.
An aura of death. It was an aura of death that caused everyone’s hair to stand on their end. Puno could almost hear the anguished wails of countless vengeance souls.
The theoretical target point of the bullet was Cillin’s right shoulder, but the blade had blocked it before it could reach its target.
Still gripping the blade, Cillin turned his gaze from the tip of the horizontally aligned blade to the completely tensed Puno standing a meter away from him. There was a flash, and the blade was suddenly gripped upside down near his side.
Clang!
Sparks scattered once more.
The fourth shot!
Puno’s throat felt a little dry, and he swallowed his saliva several times in a row. Four shots! Goryeo had actually missed every one of his shots!
This was the first time he saw Goryeo failing all four shots after knowing and working together with him for so many years!
Zanny’s night vision was the best out of everyone present, so he could see clearly that Cillin’s blade was completely unblemished even though it was used to block two Purgatory’s Thunder Snake bullets. This meant that the metallic sparks hadn’t come from the blade at all, but the Purgatory’s Thunder Snake bullets that were said to be capable of penetrating a spaceplane.
