Chapter 220: New Weapon, Blacklight Gauntlets
Chapter 220: New Weapon, Blacklight Gauntlets
Late afternoon.
At the headquarters of the Dawn Society.
Inside the martial arts hall, a brightly lit scene unfolded.
Surrounding the hall, several small eateries and barbecue stalls had set up shop, doing brisk business.
Jiang Cheng exited the martial arts hall and merged into the bustling crowd.
For the entire day, he had been cultivating in the meditation room.
After returning home and finishing dinner, he continued to refine his Primordial Energy.
However, what he didn't notice was that at a barbecue table, a man took out his phone, quickly typed out a message, and sent it.
At the same time, someone nearby took out their phone, read the message, and their eyes quickly scanned the crowd. In less than three seconds, they had locked onto Jiang Cheng.
A smile crept onto their face, and they followed Jiang Cheng.
As they left the martial arts hall, the crowd on the street thinned out.
Jiang Cheng didn't walk fast; instead, he strolled, taking in the sights along the way.
But as he walked, he felt something amiss.
It seemed like someone was watching him from behind.
Curious, he turned around, and seeing some people behind him, they also looked at him with confusion.
Jiang Cheng scratched his head and turned back, but after taking only a few steps, that feeling of being watched reappeared.
His expression changed.
If it happened once, it could be a misperception.
But twice, it was hard to explain away.
Moreover, although his psychic energy hadn't reached the level of a First Rank Mentalist, it was still several times stronger than an ordinary person's, allowing him to sense the unusualness of the situation.
So, someone was likely tailing him.
Jiang Cheng didn't turn back; instead, he quietly quickened his pace.
"Huh?"
The figure behind him flashed with surprise.
Could he have been exposed?
It didn't make sense; he was an experienced tracker.
Not to mention, the target was only a Third Rank Force Knight, while he was a Second Rank.
"Impossible. If he had noticed me, his expression when I turned around wouldn't have been like that." Pan Liang's heart raced, and he also sped up to follow.
His task, given by his superiors, was to find out where the target lived.
Of course, it would be best to capture the target directly, but according to the intelligence, the target possessed a Vajra Talisman, making it not an easy task to take him down, even with Jiang Cheng's Third Rank.
If the target escaped, things would become complicated.
So, Pan Liang's goal was simple: find the address, and there would be time to investigate later.
Jiang Cheng walked through one street after another, but the feeling of being watched from behind didn't dissipate.
He tried turning around suddenly.
However, in that instant, the feeling of being watched disappeared, but once again, he caught a glimpse of a fleeting shadow.
As he turned and walked for a while, that feeling returned.
His expression grew serious.
The person tailing him was fast and experienced, skilled at disguising and hiding themselves during the pursuit.
But there was one thing they hadn't considered: Jiang Cheng's psychic energy far exceeded that of ordinary people, allowing him to sense their presence without even turning around.
"When did they start following me? Was it when I left the martial arts hall?"
Jiang Cheng's eyebrows furrowed, and as he passed through an alley, he suddenly accelerated and rushed in.
"!"
Not far away, Pan Liang's expression changed drastically.
"Did that guy notice I was tailing him?"
His eyes widened, filled with confusion.
It didn't make sense; from the beginning to the end, his gaze had never met the target's, and even without a hiding spot, he would have disguised himself.
As he pondered, he decided to follow the man into the alley. He wasn't concerned about the danger, but rather the possibility of the stalker hiding within.
"I'll just take a look. He's only a second-rank Primordial Energy Warrior, and even if he discovers me, what can he do?" He muttered to himself.
Out of caution, he drew his pistol and activated the Vajra Talisman he carried.
He cautiously entered the alley, only to find it empty.
Pan Liang frowned and slowly walked forward.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a soft sound echoed.
A flash of white light passed through Pan Liang's body.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Several gunshots rapidly followed.
Pan Liang was initially startled but quickly recovered and found cover, then aimed at the figure in the distant corner and fired back.
However, their shooting accuracy differed significantly.
Jiang Cheng's bullets all struck the man.
In contrast, only two or three out of ten shots from the other man hit, and those were blocked by the Vajra Talisman.
"Click."
Jiang Cheng swiftly reloaded and continued firing at the man.
Deep down, he felt a bit apprehensive.
What if the man was incredibly powerful and had set up an ambush here? It wouldn't be a wise choice to stay.
But if he left now, he'd feel dissatisfied, eager to know who was following him and why.
So, he maintained a distance and tested the waters with his pistol.
Fortunately, from the man's speed, he judged that he wasn't a mid or high-level Primordial Energy Warrior, only second or third rank.
He must capture this man.
On the other side, Pan Liang had started cursing.
"This guy's shooting is really accurate," he thought.
He hadn't taken it seriously at first, but now he understood.
"Is this what they call accurate shooting?"
In just a few seconds, he had been shot over a dozen times.
Moreover, the man's pistol, like his own, was large-caliber, comparable to a rifle.
It had completely destroyed his Vajra Talisman.
"Damn it!"
He dared not shoot again and hid behind the wall.
In terms of shooting skills, he wasn't a match.
Only one Vajra Talisman remained.
If he chose to turn and run now, he might still make it.
But he couldn't bear to leave.
Since he had been discovered, he might as well go all out!
What could a Vajra Talisman do? He was a third-rank Primordial Energy Warrior, and even if he punched continuously, he could shatter the Vajra Talisman on the man!
With that, the task would be completed.
With this thought, he took out a pair of black-light metal gauntlets from his body. The gauntlets had sharp spikes at the joints.
These were C-Class Alloy Weapons, Blacklight Gauntlets.
With their enhancement, the punching power of a third-rank Primordial Energy Warrior could be increased several times! Even against a fourth-rank Warrior, a solid punch could severely impair their combat effectiveness or even incapacitate them on the spot.
The trade-off was a slight reduction in speed.
"This is enough to deal with a second-rank Force Warrior."
A sinister smile appeared on his face, and he stomped his foot, dashing straight towards Jiang Cheng from behind cover!
