Chapter 624: Relic’s Sword
Translator: Liu_Kaixuan Editor: Valvrave
At the Sword Club’s headquarters, Jiang Liushi and Tsukuyomi stood about 20 meters apart, looking at each other. Jiang Liushi held his sniper rifle, and he had already infused his blue energy with its bullets. After continuously absorbing five level-2 mutant nuclei, his combat power had been improved greatly. It was no doubt that Jiang Liushi’s shooting power would be more and more powerful.
“Oh, your sniper rifle! Good! I’ve heard from Shen Kui that your bullets’ speed was extremely high with terrible penetrating power,” said Tsukuyomi, smilingly.
“Well, hearing about it won’t change the situation. Even if you can sense dangers in advance, you won’t be able to dodge my bullets! You can give it a try,” said Jiang Liushi, simultaneously pulling the trigger.
A deadly blue light crossed the sky. No one reacted at all. Jiang Liushi’s blabbering was to catch Tsukuyomi off guard. In this kind of life-and-death confrontation, of course, unscrupulous divisive tactics should be used.
The armor-piercing projectile’s speed was close to twenty times the speed of sound, coupled with the blue light energy, it was irresistible.
Tsukuyomi acted almost at the same time when Jiang Liushi pulled the trigger. However, he didn’t dodge. Instead, he pulled out his long sword.
A metallic sound came from the long sword, and in the next instant its shape changed; from its ridged section a lot of metal pieces were extended, forming a shield.
The armor-piercing projectile shot on this shield without slowing down. The strong impact sent Tsukuyomi’s body backward, while his feet left deep drag marks on the ground.
Tsukuyomi had actually blocked Jiang Liushi’s bullet!
“Good! Excellent marksmanship! Hahaha! Even my arm felt the pain.” Tsukuyomi laughed loudly. Then, he looked at the shield in his hands, revealing an expression of surprise. In the center of the shield was an eye-catching bullet hole with a completely deformed armor-piercing projectile embedded in it!
“Oh! To think you were able to leave such a bullet hole on my shield. Incredible and unbelievable! I once used this shield to block 25mm rounds. No matter how many rounds hit my shield, they had not left even a trace on it. Fortunately, this is made of a shape-memory alloy, so it will recover soon. Otherwise, I’d feel grieved.” Tsukuyomi touched his shield like caressing a beloved woman.
Jiang Liushi frowned when he saw that. He didn’t expect that the long sword could change forms. The relic’s weapons seemed to be amazing.
“Brother Jiang!” shouted Ran Xiyu.
Jiang Liushi jumped without a second thought. The place where he was previously standing was cut apart by Tsukuyomi’s sudden slash. However, at the same time, 20 meters away from Jiang Liushi was another ‘Tsukuyomi’, caressing his shield!
‘Illusions again!’ Jiang Liushi sighed. Tsukuyomi appeared and disappeared like a shadow. It was indeed difficult for Jiang Liushi to guess how he would act next. Tsukuyomi’s illusions could even affect their intuitions.
‘It’s terrible…’ Jiang Liushi was worried as he couldn’t keep relying on Ran Xiyu the whole time.
“Oh! You dodged again!” Tsukuyomi smiled. All of a sudden, Jiang Liushi felt that the Tsukuyomi that spoke was not the actual him but a manifestation of energy.
“Damnit!” shouted Jiang Liushi as he got a foreboding feeling.
Then, he turned his head and looked at the tour bus! Meanwhile, he saw Tsukuyomi’s body appearing in front of the tour bus. He brandished his long sword and cut down at the windshield! Evidently, Tsukuyomi’s target was Ran Xiyu, who was sitting and observing him carefully behind it. As the person that could see through his illusions, Tsukuyomi, naturally, wanted to kill her first.
Tsukuyomi’s sword landed heavily in the windshield, and it trembled violently like experiencing a high magnitude earthquake. A part of the tour bus’ front cave in, while spiderweb-like cracks covered the windshield; however, the attack was not enough to break it.
“Ah!” screamed Ran Xiyu. She felt a hurricane-like force sweeping her body, and the powerful sound waves brought her dizziness. It was hard for her to withstand such a strong impact.
“Sister Xiyu!” Jiang Zhuying held Ran Xiyu immediately. A wave of shock struck Jiang Zhuying as she saw the windshield’s terrible state. She had personally witnessed the windshield withstanding the direct explosion of a grenade! However, Tsukuyomi and his weapon had almost destroyed it with a single slash! One could tell how horrifying and invincible he and the weapon were respectively.
Tsukuyomi only needed to slash one more time, and he would enter. Once that happened, the outcome would be beyond tragic.
Unexpectedly, Tsukuyomi didn’t slash again. On the contrary, he jumped backward and protected himself with the shield.
Tsukuyomi blocked the bullet yet again. But this time, he frowned as the pain from his arms was more intense this time. In the next second, Tsukuyomi vanished into thin air. It was an uncanny trick.
In fact, he had just used his illusion to achieve a kind of invisible effect. Currently, Ran Xiyu was recovering, so Tsukuyomi took the opportunity to hide. As such, Jiang Liushi undoubtedly fell into a perilous situation!
