Chapter 1129 - Humiliation (2/2)
In a distance away, Hattori Mei was frantically diving deeper into the woods with a pistol in her grip The clothes that covered her body were long tattered and torn by low-lying branches and thorny vegetation A good span of her pale delicate skin was exposed toall the women he had encountered so far, Hattori Mei’s skin was the ile skin withstand the das?
Xia Lei’s brain provided hiet distance: 1543 m, Wind speed: 5 m/s, Wind level: Level 3, Relative humidity: 60 As soon as the numbers hadit at Hattori Mei’s exposed back, Xia Lei’s finger hovered over the trigger in anticipation of the right time to shoot However, it was at that split second that Hattori Mei was iantic red oak tree He waited another five seconds and yet she failed to reappear
The man scowled This was an inevitable flaw that accoes in the forest Sure, he could easily take out any given target within one kilo radius but in the case of a densely vegetated forest, trees had proven to be a limitation Each was visual and physical obstacles that ta to be difficult for hi like this Bullets would require a little bit over one second to fly over and Hattori Mei could easily count the intervals to cross into another tree The trees would definitely serve her well as a loyal hiding spot
“You’re not going to run from this,” Xia Lei hissed internally He put his sniper rifle away and prepared to descend to the ground He needed to hunt Hattori Mei down
Bang!
A boounshot echoed from the hill opposite him in all of a sudden, accompanied by a wo bang bang…
The rain of bullets that followed after was heavy
Xia Lei quickly peered into that direction, only to find Anju cornered by so by the situation, Anjum Khan seemed to have exhausted his bullets and was tossed into an aard and risky position Anju the Chinese Zodiac Battle Team members but the current battlefield had posed too h more bullets than usual to even achieve his normal performance From the looks of it, the fes It was a smart decision on her part to save her firepower and show herself right after Anjum Khan was out of ammo She had successfully suppressed all possibility for Anjuside her was another japanese samurai with an MK17 assault rifle Flanked by her relentless shooting, thetowards Anjum Khan There were only twenty metres between them With his speed, the man would only require five seconds to ju attacks from the fe assault
Xia Lei ier
Bang!
On the other side of the woods, the japanese female ninja, Hatano Naoka, abruptly ceased fire She sluunshot There was now a fist-sized hole on her spine
This abrupt noise caused the dashi+ng japanese samurai to turn around in surprise
Just like that, a bullet whistled over and exited his skull clean It was unfortunate that his death would remain a mystery to himself However, he was not the only one struck with that fate Hatano Naoka too had died without understanding why
Anjum Khan carefully peeked his head out frolimpses of a round He was stunned but ione on Anjum Khan quickly flashed a thumbs up in the opposite direction
The battle on the other end too had reached its conclusion
Despite that, Xia Lei did not put his gun away His eyes fell on his initial hiding spot, where Tsukino Kyoko had eagerly played a gaht It didn’t take much for him to notice Tsukino Kyoko and an olderamidst the trees Based on what Tsukino Kyoko had told him, Xia Lei quickly deduced the older yu Yuichi!
Tsukino Kyoko was rigid and still, Yagyu Yuichi too was practically stationary Xia Lei wondered how long they had been in this state It felt al contest since the night before
One press of a finger against the trigger would easily solve the issue But as he raised his gun, Xia Lei was instantly reht
Hours earlier, Tsukino Kyoko was nestled snugly against his broad chest The ht was pale but somehow, Tsukino Kyoko’s radiant skin had looked even paler than it was capable of She began to draw circles idly atop his skin The lull of her voice was gentle “Boss, my master will definitely come for me tomorrow He will kno to find me tomorrow too Please do not interfere with our duel Just let hia-ryu traditions”
“But… If you can’t defeat hi me to watch you die?” questioned Xia Lei
The female ninja adjusted her neck “Death does not scare me What I’m most afraid of is if you help me, I will never be able to step out of his shadow So, please… Promise me this This has to do with my honour as a warrior and my path as a samurai No matter what happens tomorrow, promise me you won’t come in between us, okay?”
Xia Lei nodded
The brief memory flashed across Xia Lei’shim to put down his XL2500 sniper rifle
To refuse help and place herself in a life-threatening position sounded like an idiotic decision However, one side us and Tsukino Kyoko was one of them She had chosen to betray her own country and her people She had evenin silence was all she did this entire tia-ryu way that she’d be free from this tor from and hence he would support her till the end
He peeled his eyes away and descended the tree Thus, the hunt for Hattori Mei had begun
