Chapter 144: Are You Joking With Me?
Chapter 144: Are You Joking With Me?
"What method?"
A hint of confusion laced Nightingales's tone.
As a Fifth-Rank Mind Master, she didn't have much of a plan against several opponents, so how could Jiang Cheng, a First-Rank Primordial Energy Warrior, have any ideas?
Just then, the sound of shuffling footsteps approached.
Vaguely, voices could be heard.
"You, over there."
"You, over there."
Jiang Cheng tried to keep his voice low.
"Can you use your steel needles to block the bullets?"
"I can."
Nightingale nodded.
"But only within thirty meters, and to do this, I'll need to concentrate my spirit energy to capture the trajectory of the bullets. The more bullets that fly, the faster my spirit energy will be depleted. And if I rely on my naked eye, I won't be able to see the bullets due to their speed."
Not to mention that it was night.
She added silently to herself.
"That's enough."
Jiang Cheng's spirits lifted.
"Help me block the bullets aimed at me, and during this time, I'll take them all out."
"?"
Nightingale remained silent.
But Jiang Cheng thought he saw the look of shock beneath her calm exterior.
After a moment, Nightingale's voice sounded, "Are you joking with me? How can you take them all out by yourself?"
"What if I'm a marksman?"
Jiang Cheng spoke earnestly, "One bullet, one enemy."
Nightingale couldn't help but laugh, a light chuckle escaping her lips.
But the pain in her shoulder quickly straightened her posture.
"This is no time for jokes."
"Big Sister, I really don't have time to joke around!"
The footsteps were getting closer, and they were coming from several directions. Jiang Cheng was truly anxious, "Believe me, I can take them all out by myself, just give me a few seconds. As long as you block the bullets, we're both waiting here anyway. If I die, you can run, I won't blame you."
Nightingale looked into Jiang Cheng's eyes.
His gaze held urgency, but more so, it was filled with confidence.
"Alright, I'll believe you this once."
Although she would have exhausted her spirit energy, it would also increase her chances of survival.
But with Jiang Cheng's assurance, she would feel less guilty, after all, she had tried her best.
Over a dozen steel needles floated around Jiang Cheng.
"Is this enough?"
Jiang Cheng asked.
"Yes, remember, if their firepower is too intense, I won't be able to hold out for long."
"Alright, I'm starting now!"
Jiang Cheng took a deep breath, calming his racing heart.
He was only a First-Rank Primordial Energy Warrior, and couldn't rely on his physical body to withstand the attacks. The Vajra Charm had been exhausted, and his life now lay in Nightingale's hands.
He didn't want it to be this way, but with no other choice, they could only trust each other and take a leap of faith!
As he finished speaking, he leaned out.
Barely half of his head exposed, a sniper on the second floor, a hundred meters away, curled his lips in a mocking smile.
So, you couldn't wait any longer? You don't want to sit and wait for death, you want to take a chance? What a pity.
He pulled the trigger, the bullet roaring through the barrel, shooting out of the chamber like a meteor, carrying heavy waves of air, aimed at Jiang Cheng's head.
"Bang!"
A crisp sound echoed through the air.
The bullet, originally headed for Jiang Cheng's head, was deflected by two steel needles 29 meters away, changing direction and disappearing into the darkness.
At that moment, Jiang Cheng also leaned out from behind the stone pillar, his right hand's handgun aimed at the sniper's head on the second floor.
He pulled the trigger.
He worried that the other party might possess something similar to the Iron Wall Talisman.
Muzzle sparks erupted, and several bullets traced a dazzling arc in the darkness, all striking the sniper's forehead.
"How, is, it, possible."
The latter's eyes widened, his head tilted, and he slumped onto the sniper rifle.
Until his dying breath, he couldn't believe that his shot had missed the target.
And the other party had actually used a handgun to kill him in an instant.
"Open fire!"
Several gunmen not far away were slowly approaching.
Seeing Jiang Cheng exposing himself, they immediately pulled the trigger.
The muzzle seemed to be spewing flames.
Bullets rained down like a dense shower, coming from three directions, covering Jiang Cheng.
"Clang, clang, clang, clang..."
A series of impacts rang out.
Over a dozen steel needles crisscrossed, colliding with the bullets, and sparks flew in the air!
Jiang Cheng took the opportunity to retreat back into cover.
Using this chance, he also got a clear view of the enemy's firepower distribution.
There were two people in front, and one on each side.
Nightingale quickly retracted her steel needles.
"How's it going? Can you hold on?"
"At most, I can hold on for three more seconds."
Under the mask, Nightingale's forehead was covered in sweat.
Don't be fooled by the fact that there was only one second of time just now; she had blocked at least a hundred bullets.
If not for this, Jiang Cheng would have been shot to pieces long ago.
"Enough."
Jiang Cheng looked to the left and said, "When the gunfire stops on that side, I'll shoot there. Get ready."
Nightingale nodded.
Even she herself didn't realize that she was following Jiang Cheng's commands.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang."
Countless bullets poured onto the stone pillar, shattering the rocks.
The gunfire continued, but the attack from the left had stopped.
Jiang Cheng instantly exposed himself and quickly pulled the trigger, aiming at the left-side gunman.
A flash of white light passed over the opponent's body, and then his forehead and eyes burst open with blood, and he fell to the ground.
"No!"
The remaining three gunmen were furious.
Old Three was dead!
"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"
The gunfire intensified.
However, with one less direction of fire, Nightingale actually felt a little more relaxed.
Jiang Cheng took the opportunity to return to cover, secretly relieved.
Fortunately, he had fired several shots just in case, and it turned out that these people were also Primordial Energy Warriors, possessing something like the Iron Wall Talisman.
Fortunately, it wasn't the Vajra Talisman that Nightingale mentioned; otherwise, a large-caliber handgun would, at most, have the same power as a rifle, making it very difficult to break through their defense.
At this moment, the gunfire from the right stopped.
Jiang Cheng struck again, firing several shots in quick succession, killing the opponent.
"No, something's wrong!"
Finally, at this moment, the two people facing them felt that something was amiss.
No matter how poor their marksmanship was, it was impossible for them to fire an entire magazine and not hit the target, right?
Moreover, when the bullets flew over, they could see that there was still some distance between them, but they were hit by something and deflected, flying towards other directions, never hitting the stone pillar.
They could only wait for that guy to hide behind the stone pillar again before the bullets would hit it.
Additionally, there was one more crucial point.
Where was Old Five? Old Five had a heavy sniper rifle worth 200,000! Just one shot could disable a Fifth or Sixth Rank Primordial Energy Warrior.
Why did it jam? Unbeknownst to them, Nightingale behind the stone pillar was even more shocked and puzzled.
She could sense that the firepower from the left and right sides had disappeared, and the firepower from above was also gone.
Could it be that this guy next to them was indeed a marksman, just as he claimed?
