Chapter 77 – Chasing
On the rooftop of a building .
Luo Qio, the captain of the twelfth team from Scarlet Hand, was holding his hands . He quietly waited for the result .
This time he was lucky enough to hear the news about the three hunters .
The seventh team was killed by the enemy . Although the twelfth team’s overall strength was weaker, but Luo Qiu had no worry .
“The seventh team was too reckless and stupid . They didn’t use their power and resources, instead, they advanced forward on one-on-one combat . No wonder they died miserably . But I’m not stupid, I won’t directly fight these people . Nobody could survive a sniper bullet, no matter how strong they are .
Luo Qio glanced at the sniper, Simon, who was adjusting his aim .
Soon, gunshots were heard .
Luo Qiu was delighted . His status in the boss’s eye might improve after they killed the three survivors . If things went well, their team might be able to replace the seventh team and accessing more resources in the regiment .
Shortly after the first shot, the sniper fired two more shots .
Lu Qiu who was standing behind him counted the gunshots, “Is it over?”
Simon didn’t answer, he continued focusing on his aiming and quickly fire again .
This time, Luo Qiu knew something was wrong .
If he successfully hit the three people, then the fourth shot wasn’t necessary .
Or, he missed one shot .
He looked at Simon and noticed sweat dripped on his forehead .
“Simon, what’s going on?” Luo Qiu frowned, “Did you miss? You said you won’t miss within 2 kilometers?!”
Simon shivered . “No, it was blocked . ”
“Blocked? Are you serious? No hunters could block a sniper bullet . ”
Luo Qiu frowned . He walked to the edge of the roof and used his telescope to observe .
He heard the gunshots and the bullet was blocked by an ice blue shield floating mid-air .
It’s really blocked .
Luo Qiu muttered . Suddenly, he saw a nimble figure approaching the street under them .
He’s one of the three hunters . According to the investigation, this man was very fast and skilled in using dagger .
In a few jumps, the man jumped over the abandoned cars on the street and quickly approached to their direction .
Luo Qiu shouted, “Forget about them! Someone is coming toward our direction! Quick, kill him first!”
Simon adjusted the muzzle of his sniper rifle .
Boom!
The bullet flew and broke through the air .
Luo Qiu carefully observed the approaching hunter below them .
The ice-shield ability was still in the distance . Did they kill him this time?
Shortly, his eyes widened in surprise .
Obviously, a few millisecond ago the man was still on the bullet’s trajectory path . But at the next moment, his whole figure disappeared like a ghost and appeared again nearby .
The bullet missed!
Simon held his breath, aimed, and shot again!
He vanished .
Shot again!
He vanished again .
……… . .
If he could only avoid once, then their opponent might just be lucky . But he successfully dodged every bullets .
This time, Gray Blade had reached the bottom of the building .
He glanced up . He didn’t bother to use the stairs, instead, he stepped on the outer wall and ran towards the rooftop .
Obviously, he ran against the gravity .
Luo Qiu’s eyes widened again,
How could he defiy gravity! Or he had the ability to step on the wall?!
Luo Qiu was anxious .
The seventh team’s grave was still fresh, he already knew what’s coming for them .
“You said you’ve never missed?! Don’t call yourself a grim reaper, you can’t even—“
He scolded the sniper . He picked an automatic rifle and fired down to Gray Blade’s direction, “Die!!!”
Upon rain fire that was coming towards him, Gray Blade still maintained a calm expression .
He moved his wrist . The two daggers swung, blocking the bullets .
Whoosh!
He quickly leaped and landed firmly on the rooftop . His cloak fluttered in the wind .
With a terrified expression, Simon tossed his sniper rifle and took out a modified pistol . He was about to fire .
But at the next moment, a flying dagger slashed his back .
All of this happened very fast .
The hunters of the twelfth team just realized what happened .
“Kill him!”
Luo Qiu shouted .
Most of the people in Scarlet Hands had ruthless trait, they didn’t flinch and immediately charged .
Or, they thought all of them together could handle this one opponent .
They swung their swords and attacked Gray Blade from every directions .
Gray Blade vanished like a ghost .
In a flash, he appeared behind one of the hunters . His dagger was ready to engage .
In a second, the blade cut across the throat . The hunter immediately fell down, dead .
Others saw the scene with a horrified expression . Someone shouted .
Gray Blade was always calm and silent . He harvested the opponent’s life with maximum efficiency .
That was his assassins’ ethic code .
Before long, there was only one person left from the Scarlet Hands’ twelfth squad .
Captain Luo Qiu .
He was extremely terrified and didn’t dare to confront him into a fight .
He shouted and jumped from the roof .
“What? He committed suicide?
Gray Blade frowned and jumped to the edge of the ten-story building . There’s no way the captain could’ve survived the fall .
Besides, his opponent was only at triple awakening stage .
Gray Blade looked below from the rooftop and saw the falling Luo Qio suddenly burst into lightning bolt .
The thunder sound lingered .
His falling speed drastically slowed down . His whole body suddenly leaped forward after using his strength .
He’s actually a hunter with ability!
…………
Far away, on the street .
Tang Yu looked at Chen Yi’s body and sighed .
“I was going to ask something, but now…”
Elaine who was standing beside him felt a wave warning from her staff . She pointed at the distance, “My Lord, look over there . ”
Zhou Jianhong and the other hunters also heard her words and said, “He committed suicide by jumping off the building . ”
Someone thought silently and sighed .
The falling person was without a doubt, a member of the Scarlet Hands .
That meant…the entire Scarlet Hand team was wiped out by a single man? Making one of them committed suicide by jumping off the building?
How strong was he?
They looked at Tang Yu with a mixed feelings .
No wonder they didn’t care, turned out they were really confident with their power .
However, the next moment, someone’s eyes widened . “He’s…a hunter with ability? He escaped from the battle?”
Luo Qio was entangled in lightning . He leaped with the speed of a bullet train .
Gray Blade didn’t give up, he also quickly jumped off from the roof .
The spectating hunters’ gasped in surprise .
Gray Blade was falling down mid-air and it seemed like he had no intention to slow down his falling speed . He used the air like a stepping stone to leap in the air .
He was like walking in the air!
What a horrifying power!
The two soon dashed into the distance . Disappearing from the spectator’s view .
Tang Yu thought for a while and then said, “Elaine, let’s go after them . ”
The two dashed .
Zhou Jianhong and other hunters were feeling rather melancholy .
They just fought the demonic beast, but suddenly the situation changed and became a life-and-death hunt .
“Should we go after them?” Someone asked .
“But it’s the Scarlet Hand . They wanted revenge so—” Someone replied in fear .
“Bullshit! Without Brother Tang, we’re still be chased by the wraiths, we didn’t even knew if we could survive . But the Scarlet Hands attacked other mercenaries during a mission, it can’t be forgiven! No matter what, I’ll go and chase them!”
Zhuo Jianhong’s tone was firm . Suddenly, he saw Chen Sheng had run away already .
He was confused and couldn’t help but shouted, “Captain Chen, where are you going?”
“Chasing . ”
Chen Sheng replied lightly .
