Gamers Are Fierce-Chapter 869 - 868: Bullet Hole

Qingqiu's smile carried a hint of smugness. It itself couldn't dodge the Colt bullet that ignored distance and hit directly,

but with its dynamic vision, it could see the fingers of the Dragon Head White Lab Coat — just before Li Ang's finger muscles contracted, Qingqiu raised the arm of the Kui Ox Mecha, using it to block the Demon-busting Bullet.

Dragon Head White Lab Coat pondered briefly, holding the Colt Revolver in his left hand,

the fingernails of his left hand's five fingers extended and curved,

forming a ring through the Mirage Dragon Red Mane Coat and gloves, hooking onto the gun's trigger.

Qingqiu's smile froze instantly,

"Bang!"

The Dragon Head White Lab Coat's thumb moved slightly, and Qingqiu instinctively raised the already-gashed arm of the Kui Ox Mecha again.

The gunshot didn't sound; the soft thumbnail bent in front of the trigger, unable to pull it.

Only then did Qingqiu realize that the "bang" sound was the Dragon Head White Lab Coat making a gun sound with his mouth.

"Bang bang!"

Li Ang continued making sound effects, and his index finger moved again,

with an angry face, Qingqiu, who was about to lower the mecha's arm, immediately held it firmly in front of himself, not daring to expose his body.

It seemed like Li Ang had found some sort of trick,

his palm and fingers danced quickly as if playing the piano, without any discernible pattern,

meanwhile, he held the gun in his left hand, covered his mouth with his right hand, made a beatbox pose, and made rhythmic sounds with his mouth to intimidate his opponent.

"Bang bang bang, whoosh whoosh whoosh, tweet tweet, bang bang, boom boom!"

The language barrier was irrelevant because a gunshot sound is universally understandable without translation.

Qingqiu's eyes widened, speechless,

it could see the movement of the finger holding the trigger, but if all the fingers moved randomly, it lost its meaning.

The next moment, it might fire, or it might not — it depended on when Li Ang chose to harden the fingernail.

Qingqiu didn't know that the Colt Revolver automatically generates a Demon-busting Bullet every five minutes and can store up to six bullets, which had already been fully spent, and it was one minute until the next bullet would be generated,

so the demonic warrior stood there in a complex mix of vigilance and caution.

Honestly, the beatbox was pretty good, almost like gunfire mixed into music.

Inside the cockpit of the Kui Ox Mecha, the red warning lights flashed continuously,

the cramped space echoed with cryptic, murky, tempting whispers, seducing the pilot Ding Zhensi to abandon reason, embrace chaos, and accept power.

"Shut up."

With a low roar, Ding Zhensi's tactical suit automatically sprayed hemostatic gel to stop the narrow wound on the back of his head caused by the cockpit collision.

Enduring the pain, ignoring the alluring whispers, he looked at the display panel of the cockpit.

Remaining power, only 5% left...

Enough.

Skill: [Ship Cutter: Furious Waves]

Skill effect: Ship Cutting. Strike the target with a wave-crashing hit and deliver a fatal blow.

The Kui Ox Mecha, limbs twisted like a broken doll lying on the ground,

suddenly lifted its left arm at an entirely unreasonable angle, grabbed the High-Frequency Cutting Blade scattered on the ground, and stabbed it into the ground at Qingqiu's feet,

hoisting the soil along with the fox up.

The skill known as [Furious Waves], which had appeared before in the Sky Fighting Arena but had not been fully unleashed,

required both parties to be close enough,

normally, enemies would flee upon seeing the three-meter-tall mecha armed with a cannon on the left hand and a Ship Cutter on the right, never giving it a chance to get close.

But Qingqiu had thought it had disabled the mecha and stayed close to avoid the actually depleted Colt Revolver,

the distance was just enough.

The High-Frequency Cutting Blade transformed into countless afterimages, cleaving toward Qingqiu without any gaps.

Qingqiu's form stalled mid-air, limited by the skill effect, unable to descend momentarily,

feeling the blade surge at it like a terrifying wave,

a life-threatening sense of danger pricked its skin.

The fox's pupils sharply contracted, and within its vision, the speed of the High-Frequency Cutting Blade suddenly slowed,

it saw the trajectory clearly,

then, blocked.

The demonic warrior's body remained still, but its arm vanished — its sword-wielding speed was so fast that the arm and the thin sword seemed to have turned invisible.

Ding ding ding ding——

The dense clatter was like a torrential downpour, and Qingqiu, relying solely on dynamic vision and physical quality, used the unremarkable thin sword to parry hundreds of slashes from the Kui Ox Mecha,

not without cost, Qingqiu landed on the ground, and the hand holding the sword trembled slightly,

with the muscles in the tiger's mouth torn,

and deep wounds were carved into the skin beneath the fur by the High-Frequency Cutting Blade.

The Kui Ox Mecha wanted to strike again, but its energy had officially hit zero, the red lights in the cockpit dimmed gradually, and the High-Frequency Blade that drew power from the mecha ceased operation, turning into a regular metal blade.

Couldn't, kill it...? 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Ding Zhensi's clenched fist slowly unfurled, the successive battles earlier and the expenditure of 500 Stamina Points to unleash [Ship Cutter: Furious Waves] had exhausted his stamina to its limit,

The body and the mecha vanished together.

"Huff, huff..."

Ding Zhensi was panting heavily. The sword that was meant to stab the mecha cockpit hit nothing,

and an inexplicable nausea surged in his throat. With a "wah" sound, warm spring water produced by the Drown in Misfortune Assassination Method spewed from his mouth.

At the same time, Li Ang, who was still beatboxing, used his Divine Power to break free from his physical restraints, grabbed the Tyrant Halberd, and charged forward.

With Divine Power fully unleashed, Li Ang's physical attributes were comprehensively enhanced. The muscles hidden under the Mirage Dragon Red Mane Coat swelled and tightened. With every step he took, the ground would collapse into a large depression, and the soft soil was pressed hard like bricks.

The Tyrant Halberd stabbed forward,

forcing Ding Zhensi to withdraw his sword to block. With one thrust of the halberd, he felt his sword-hand vibrate wildly, his bones aching painfully, and blood uncontrollably flowing from his fuzzy ears.

The accumulated damage from the intense combat reached a level that even his demon general body could no longer ignore,

making Flash unusable,

and the forehead and temples hit by the Demon-busting Bullet were now bleeding through the bones and skin as the blood surged.

Clang—

The Tyrant Halberd clashed with the Thin Sword several times,

and it wasn't just weapons,

fists, legs, elbows, knees, and heads, both sides in melee combat used every means to launch attacks.

Despite being sneak attacked and severely injured by the Demon-busting Bullet, suffering severe physical exertion, and blood continuously flowing from his ears, Ding Zhensi could still manage to hold his own against Li Ang, who was at full Divine Power, maintaining a temporary stalemate.

The Dragon Head White Lab Coat's gun,

could be drawn out at any moment...

Unable to be invisible now, with no cover, a shot to the head would result in a complete loss of fighting power.

He must find a way to either leave or kill that human who lit the matches and blocked invisibility (which was Blue Lantern)...

Ding Zhensi's mind raced, and using the force of the weapon clash, he violently retreated, only to hear the sound of the air splitting behind him—Feather Yuyi Xinzhong, turned half-demon, had drunk emergency potion to suppress the injuries, and sprinted over, katana slashing toward Ding Zhensi's back.

Worse still, in the distance, Blue Lantern also realized the timing was right, fully activating his matches to dispel the cloaking effect, while six ghostly blue flames emerged behind him, crashing toward Ding Zhensi.

Faced with an attack from both sides,

Ding Zhensi's eyes turned blood-red, and his body surged with formidable demonic power, blasting Feather Yuyi Xinzhong heavily away,

and crossed his Thin Sword in front to block the Long Spear,

raising his left arm, palm facing Blue Lantern.

The overpowering demonic power burst forth without any skill, recklessly or rather wastefully shattering the six ghostly blue flames and hitting Blue Lantern with undiminished momentum,

making Blue Lantern's hair fly backward, his entire face withering rapidly under the corrosion of demonic power,

the candle in his hand instantly extinguished, and his whole being vanished from sight.

The excessive use of demonic power caused Ding Zhensi to almost drop to one knee.

Feather Yuyi Xinzhong, who had been blasted away, also returned at this time, the katana in her hand burning with demonic power slashing horizontally again.

This time, it finally hit—Ding Zhensi's back, from the left shoulder to the right side of the waist, was sliced with a long, deep gash that exposed the bone.

"Roar!"

Ding Zhensi let out a roar disproportionately large compared to his size, his knees suddenly tightened, and he stood straight despite the crushing force of the Tyrant Halberd,

clenching his hand back onto Feather Yuyi Xinzhong's katana, gripping the blade tightly, heedless of his hand being sliced and bleeding, and gave a hard push.

The blunt end of the sword, under the force of the push, slipped from Feather Yuyi Xinzhong's grasp, pierced through her waist and abdomen, mangling the internal organs, and her entire being vanished.

Clap.

Li Ang grasped Ding Zhensi's wrist. At such a close distance, even against Ding Zhensi, even with the delay and relatively slow flight speed of the Fingers Dissociation Technique, he could still ensure a hit.

The long-dormant Fingers Dissociation Technique burst forth a ghastly green energy ray,

hitting Ding Zhensi right in the heart.

The fur instantly melted, the skin fully dissolved,

and the heart, which was beating rapidly, shrunk quickly under the green light.

Ding Zhensi's eyes lost their luster, his figure vanished, merging into the wind.

"..."

Li Ang stood in place, his ears full of the intense thumping sound of his heart, the white lab coat he wore covered with scars, revealing the Mirage Dragon Red Mane Coat below—Ding Zhensi's sword couldn't cut through the Red Mane, but left sword marks from the mighty force over it,

the residual kinetic energy passing through the Red Mane Coat, directly damaging the internal organs, causing even the specialized organs to rupture.

Truly worthy of being a demon general...

Li Ang took a deep breath, the Colt Revolver appeared in his hand once more.

The two mistakes Ding Zhensi made in this battle; one was not knowing the charging time of the bullet...

Li Ang suddenly turned around and pulled the trigger towards some empty space behind him.

Bang.

The gunshot rang out,

and the opportunity to try and use the disappearance of Blue Lantern as a chance, to conceal death with invisibility, Ding Zhensi finally fell from the void,

gripping the thin sword hilt, with a bullet hole through the heart in the wound dissolved by the Fingers Dissociation Technique over the heart.

...The second mistake was not noticing the tiny spores that Li Ang spread onto him during close combat.

Leveraging the Divine Power contained within the spores to locate, Li Ang locked onto Ding Zhensi's position while invisible and finished him with one shot.
