Chapter 253: No Survivors!
Chapter 253: No Survivors!
Upon hearing the other party's words, Jiang Cheng did not feel much anger.
He could guess that as long as he put down his weapon, they would shoot to eliminate any future threats.
However, these people were unaware that they had already entered the attack range of a Tier 6 Psychic, and had no idea what was about to happen.
"So, there's no more room for negotiation?" Jiang Cheng sighed lightly.
To be honest, he didn't want to kill anyone.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have come all this way to negotiate with these people; he would have just sniped them from a distance.
"Hmph, if you do as I say, we can still talk," Chen Jun coldly laughed.
They were not afraid of a direct confrontation.
After all, in this day and age, who wouldn't carry a few Vibration Talismans when hunting Monstrous Beasts? Some even carried several high-grade Vibration Talismans for extra security.
Of course, they also guessed that Jiang Cheng and his companion were carrying Vibration Talismans.
But with the obvious disparity in firepower between the two sides, the outcome of the battle was decided from the very start.
"Let me handle this," Ye Ying spoke up.
Throughout the journey, she hadn't taken any action, always taking advantage of Jiang Cheng. Now, she felt it was time to step in.
As her words fell, the other party also reacted.
"Fire!" Chen Jun roared, pulling the trigger of his heavy machine gun, spewing out a stream of fire.
The people around him, along with the heavy machine gunners in the two pickup trucks, all pulled their triggers.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!!!"
"Rat-a-tat-tat..."
The sound of sniper rifles and machine guns firing intertwined.
The dense bullets were like a torrential downpour, pouring towards the two, covering their heads and faces.
However, the two didn't move an inch.
Ten steel needles danced in the air, forming an invisible barrier, blocking all the incoming bullets. Continuous clanging sounds filled the air as the needles collided with the bullets.
At the same time, six or seven steel needles shot towards the few people in the pickup trucks at a lightning-fast speed.
In less than a second, the Vibration Talismans on two or three of them shattered, and white light flashed continuously on their bodies.
Then, several cries of agony rang out.
Two heavy machine gunners in the pickup trucks and a man holding a sniper rifle all clutched their necks, which were gushing with blood, and fell to the ground.
All their attention had been focused on Jiang Cheng, as Ye Ying didn't have a gun in her hands.
Seeing that Jiang Cheng didn't even lift his gun, they naturally felt safe, so they only activated one Vibration Talisman and immersed themselves in the thrill of firing.
When the steel needles pierced their throats, the three were filled with confusion.
Why? Why were they being attacked?
The other party didn't even have a chance to fire!
In the next moment, six or seven steel needles flew towards the fourth gunman.
In almost an instant, the Vibration Talisman on the latter's body was shattered, and his eyebrows, eyes, throat, and heart were all pierced.
Another gunman fell.
At this point, even the most foolish person would realize something was wrong.
"Psychic! That woman is a Psychic!" Chen Jun shouted, "Focus fire on her! Focus fire on that woman!"
Upon hearing this, the remaining two or three gunmen quickly aimed their guns at Ye Ying.
It was then that they finally understood why the other party dared to approach them.
But it was too late.
In the next instant, two of them had their hearts pierced by steel needles, and one had his forehead penetrated.
Seeing this, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but take a deep breath.
The speed of these steel needles was incredibly fast, so fast that he couldn't even see them clearly. Even with his psychic energy, he couldn't capture their movements.
This made him recall the words Red Tea had said when they first met—when a Primordial Force Warrior of the same rank encounters a Psychic of the same rank, they are like lambs to the slaughter.
Unless one possessed an abundance of defensive treasures or had an astonishing level of defense to withstand this stretch of attack, it would be challenging to survive.
However, to achieve this, one would likely need to be of a higher tier. Unless, of course, they had access to some special secret martial arts that could enhance their physical defense.
The issue was that Mentalists also had defensive measures. For instance, the Golden Bell Visualization Technique he had seen in the Black Market; after a Primordial Force Warrior got close, a Mentalist could summon a golden bell to protect their body while attacking with Mental Weapons.
Perhaps only those Primordial Force Warriors who cultivated energy could fight against a Mentalist of the same tier? After all, both sides relied on long-range attacks.
At this moment, only Chen Jun remained on the other side.
Without additional firepower, Ye Ying only needed to control two or three steel needles to block the bullets, while the remaining dozen or so needles continuously attacked.
"What should I do? What should I do?" Chen Jun's heart was filled with anxiety.
In just a second or two, he had already used up several Golden Talismans.
If this continued, he would meet the same fate as his companions.
Should he run or charge towards the opponent?
But he was merely a Tier 5 Primordial Force Warrior, and the secret martial arts he cultivated were primarily focused on hand-to-hand combat. He had never come into contact with weapon-type secret arts, and his hand-to-hand combat was no match for the heavy sniper rifle in his hand.
The next moment, he gritted his teeth and made a decision.
"I surrender!"
He put down his gun and raised his hands high.
"Please, don't kill me. I know I was wrong!"
As he spoke, tears streamed down his face.
If he regretted anything, it was indeed this.
But it wasn't the act of robbing these prey on the ground that he regretted. If given the chance again, he would still make the same choice, after all, who could resist three million? What he regretted was his carelessness, thinking that the other party was just two people, and that the advantage was on his side. He foolishly allowed a Mentalist to approach.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been taken out in an instant. If they had maintained a distance of 100 meters, these two would have been torn apart by their bullets.
However, Ye Ying acted as if she hadn't heard him and continued her relentless attack with the steel needles.
"Stop! Stop it!" Chen Jun screamed hysterically.
"Spare me, I'll agree to anything! Anything, ah!"
A scream of agony followed.
Several steel needles pierced through his chest.
"You... You all..."
His eyes filled with endless hatred as he stared at the two people before him.
Why? He had already surrendered and begged for mercy, yet they wouldn't spare him!
"Pfft!"
Several more steel needles pierced through his heart, even the hands clutching his chest were pierced.
Chen Jun's face contorted in excruciating pain, and he fell to the ground, unwilling to accept his fate.
However, Ye Ying still felt uneasy, so she used the steel needles to finish him off, only then did she finally withdraw them.
"Are you alright?" Jiang Cheng noticed her tired appearance and asked with concern.
"I'm fine, just need a short rest." Ye Ying shook her head and glanced around.
"We shouldn't delay; let's quickly gather our things and leave this place. Otherwise, it'll be troublesome if another group arrives."
"Mhm." Jiang Cheng nodded in agreement.
The Black Mane Pigs on the ground would definitely be taken away without leaving any behind.
He had initially been concerned that the pickup truck's cargo area might not be sufficient, but the other party provided a truck, making it more than enough.
Additionally, there were the guns in the hands of these people, which, when added together, were probably worth over ten million, almost matching the harvest of two hunting trips.
