Chapter 34 First Encounter – Part 3 (2/2)

*CLANK*

Sima Xin aimed at Tong's left eye, but the bullet couldn't penetrate through Tong's body even the weakest part.

'That boy has a protection skill. I probably can't kill him like this.'

'Wait! That girl on the back reacted to the word 'Sniper' and didn't question that boy's order!?'

'Sh*t! They've teamed up!'

Realizing that the girl in the back was also an otherworlder, Sima Xin switched target and aimed at Hua Shi.

*BANG*

*TINK*

'What!?'

Sima Xin couldn't believe his eyes. Did that girl just parry his bullet with a sword? What kind of monstrous reflect was this?

”Hahaha! Fool! As long as I'm here, it's all useless!”

The girl provoked Sima Xin. Veins and blood vessels bulged under Sima Xin's face skin. His long trained marksmanship was looked down upon.

Sima Xin readjusted his breathing and fire another shot.

*BANG*

”Useless!”

*TINK*

Sima Xin's eyes opened wide. How could this be possible? Parrying a bullet once could be considered as luck, but twice in a row was not a joking matter anymore.

He glanced at the location that Tong was before, only to find that he was no longer there. Moreover, the boy was running toward him in the darkness as if he could see everything around him.

'This can't go on! My location was already blown.'

'I have to finish this fast!'

'I can't fight both of them head on!'

Sima Xin switched targets again. This time he aimed at the two adult behind Hua Shi.

'Let's see if you can parry this!'

Sima Xin concentrated on his grips, and changed his firing mode from single fire mode into burst fire mode.

'Ora! Ora! Ora!'

*BANG* *BANG* *BANG*

”MUDA!! MUDA!! MUDA!!”

*TINK* *TINK* *TINK*

'NANI!?'

Sima Xin was flabbergasted. Hua Shi deflected all of his bullets. What kind of monster was this girl?

Sima Xin heard a rustling sound.Then he saw Tong leaped over a bush and making a bee-line toward his direction. The distance between them got closer every second.

'I'm out of time. I have to bail out now!'

Sima Xin couldn't afford to stay on the same spot anymore. He leaped down from the tree and ran toward his escape route he had planned before coming to Zhang resident.

Sima Xin managed to keep the distance of 200 meters between Tong and him. Sima Xin also managed to outrun him, which relieved his nervousness.

'A pity that I can't get more rewards.'

'But keeping one's life is more important.'

He kept running. There were only a hundred meters left to the location Sima Xin and his comrade had hidden their horses. Once he got on a horse, he would rush back to Julu to report the incidents to his lord.

However, a familiar looking teenage jumped on Sima Xin. He had seen this person before, it was the thug he had met earlier today.

”Surprise, motherfu**er!”

The teenage swung his sword at Sima Xin, whom managed to react and drew his knife to parry it.

*CLANK*

”I have no time to play with the likes of you!”

”Ha! But I do!”

*CLANK*

*CLANK*

*WHOOSH*

*CLANK*

Zhou Cang and Sima Xin clashed. Sima Xin used his experience as ex-soldier to deal with Zhou Cang. But Zhou Cang was also good at close-combat. They couldn't find an opening on each other.

Sima Xin attempted to sneak-attack Zhou Cang at his blind spot, but Zhou Cang always reacted in time and dodged all of it.

Then Sima Xin heard a rustling sound from behind. Tong was getting closer.

'Tch! I don't want to waste anymore bullet. But you left me no choice!'

Sima Xin retreated and kept the distance between him and Zhou Cang. He grabbed his rifle that was holstered behind his back and aimed at Zhou Cang.

Zhou Cang sensed something amiss. He jumped out of the way of the muzzle.

*BANG*

Sima Xin still had a better reflex. He readjusted his aim and the bullet pierced through Zhou Cang's thigh.

”AARRRGHHH!!!”

Using this time when Zhou Cang was hurt, Sima Xin dashed toward his horses. However …

*BANG*

*BANG*

*BANG*

Three gunshot sounds rang from Sima Xin's behind along with the sense of pain on his right elbow and his left shoulder.

”Ugh!”

Sima Xin gritted his teeth and jumped on one of the horse, slapped its butt and made it dash into the darkness.

'He has a gun too. This mission was too dangerous.'

'Since I've found the Yellow Turban's hideout. I'll report this to Guo Dian.'

'All of you will pay for this!'
