Chapter 1071 Decisive Battle · Part 16

Ten seconds before the gunshot, the Hong Ying team learned of their captain Xu Huai Shang’s death through the team column.

Although their hearts wavered, it did not affect their performance.

On the contrary…it strengthened their determination to kill Feng Bujue and win back a point…

And after the gunshot…or rather, the moment the bullet hit Feng Bujue, the three of Hong Ying immediately made subsequent reactions.

What [Tie Haitang (Iron Begonia)] had to do was simple—reload and continue shooting.

Facing an opponent like Jue-Ge, even whipping the corpse was not an exaggeration; after all, he was Feng Bujue…anything could happen before he turned into white light and disappeared.

What [Feng Xinzi (Hyacinth)] had to do was also very simple—stay by Tie Haitang’s side and act as an observer.

Considering the rather complex terrain of this Sakura Garden, and the fact that there was still a missing assassin in the opposing team…it was only natural to have a spotter for the shooter.

As for [Xue Qiangwei (Blood Rose)]’s mission…it was a bit more dangerous. In order to be absolutely sure, she decided to personally go up and “finish off” Feng Bujue.

Since the skills to summon [Giant Eagle] and [Pterodactyl] were still on cooldown, at this moment, Xue Qiangwei summoned another creature more suitable for the terrain—the [Sabertooth Tiger], and galloped away on its back.

There was no doubt that their sneak attack and pursuit…could be said to be extremely efficient and thorough.

No matter how you looked at it, Feng Bujue was in a situation of near-certain death.

However, victory and defeat…were often reversed on the edge of such extremes.

Kachakacha…

Suddenly, a series of small, rapid footsteps came from the side of Tie Haitang and Feng Xinzi.

Hearing the sound, Tie Haitang couldn’t help but pause slightly, but she didn’t turn her head to look, but continued to load and aim; because she trusted her teammate, she was sure…if there was anything wrong, Feng Xinzi would handle it on her own, or give her instructions.

And Feng Xinzi…naturally looked in the direction of the sound.

When she turned her head, she saw a Doberman Pinscher running towards her.

At the same instant, an ominous and strange feeling suddenly sprouted in her heart.

“This dog…is Wang Tanzhi’s summon…” As a professional player, pre-match intelligence preparation was essential, and Feng Xinzi quickly realized where the dog came from, but…the Hong Ying’s analysis team couldn’t figure out skills like [Draw a Cross and Curse You], so…Feng Xinzi attributed that “strange feeling in her heart” to her intuition.

“What is he trying to do…” Feng Xinzi’s mind flashed, “Wang Tanzhi’s summoning skill should only be able to create some ordinary canines to act as cannon fodder, and can’t pose any real threat at all.” Thinking this, she still took out a submachine gun and aimed it at the rapidly approaching Doberman Pinscher, “But why do I feel uneasy…could it be…”

Thinking of this, Feng Xinzi pulled the trigger, and the ordinary bullets pouring out of the muzzle swept the dog to the ground.

The next second, Feng Xinzi suddenly turned her head and activated a reconnaissance skill [Owl’s Gaze], using a unique “line of sight wave” to scan 360 degrees around (Tie Haitang was maintaining a kneeling aiming posture at this time, which would not block her teammate’s line of sight).

However, she didn’t find anything…

“Hiding behind a tree? Or…” Just as Feng Xinzi looked up at the sky, an unexpected change occurred!

Bang—

Although the summoned creature that was killed by the submachine gun two seconds ago turned into white light, a loud explosion suddenly sounded where it fell.

Then, a thick cloud of white mist dust exploded and drifted towards the two Hong Ying members with the wind…

“Crap!” Feng Xinzi reacted quickly and soon understood the other party’s trick, “He had the dog carry a smoke bomb and run over from upwind…when the summoned creature dies, the string in its mouth will move, and then the smoke bomb will explode…”

Bang—

However, before the smoke could drift over, Tie Haitang’s second shot had already been fired…

The distance between their location and Feng Bujue was about fifty meters. Any further, and it would be impossible to find gaps in the trees to attack. Any closer, and they might be discovered by the other party.

Compared to the first shot, this second shot should be more accurate, because Feng Bujue was now in an orz position after being shot.

Logically speaking, it was already rare for someone hit in the torso by a special corrosive bullet not to die on the spot. Trying to avoid the second shot in this physical condition was simply a fantasy…

However, Feng Bujue did it…He did a seal-like action, bobbing up and down on the spot… This little “bob” allowed the second bullet to graze past his abdomen without hitting him…

…

At the same time, in the Order team’s conference room.

“Wow…this is possible?” Zui Wo Changran looked at the live screen and complained.

“The interval between the two shots is less than six seconds, how did he do it…” Wu Si Can Xuan also showed a look of doubt.

“Even I, relying on [Tian Ting (Heavenly Hearing)], would have less than a 60% chance of reacting at this distance and successfully dodging the bullet, and…Feng Bujue was shot just now.” Sheng Yu Pian said with a straight face.

“Hehe…” Meng Jing Chan’s attitude was different from theirs. He smoked, drank, and looked at the other end of the conference table with a smile, “Just ask Gui Xiao about this kind of incomprehensible situation.”

At this time, Tun Tian Gui Xiao had also changed his arrogant posture from the script and was staring at the screen with a serious face.

After hearing Chan-Ge’s words, Gui Xiao pondered for a moment and then replied, “There are three main reasons why he was able to dodge that shot.” He held up three fingers and continued, “First, after Tie Haitang heard the footsteps of the summoned creature, the movement of her hand was slightly delayed by about 0.8 seconds, although this time is not long…but from the actual situation, it did affect the result of the shot.” He put down one finger and said again, “Second, Feng Bujue was already in a dying state after being hit by the first shot, but he used some method to make his injuries disappear between 1.4-1.6 seconds after being shot, as if his body ‘rewound’ to a few seconds ago.”

At this point, the expressions of the four Drunken Dreams changed subtly, but they did not interrupt Gui Xiao, but waited for him to continue.

“Third…” Gui Xiao put down another finger and said with his last finger, “After being hit by the first shot, Feng Bujue must have known the angle of entry, speed, power, and type of ammunition, the type of gun used by the shooter, the location, distance, and other information based on the feeling of his body; with these data as the basis for ‘zero-time difference calculation’, and his body has recovered…it is not difficult to make that kind of evasive action.”

After hearing this, Gui Xiao’s three teammates showed solemn expressions.

Only Meng Jing Chan maintained his consistent expression and sighed, “Alas…some things are better left unexamined…”

…

The scene returns to the competition…

“Well…that was close…” Feng Bujue finished tumbling and took advantage of the situation to spin up.

Dodging the bullet didn’t mean he was out of danger.

In fact, the danger was far from over…because Xue Qiangwei, riding on the sabertooth tiger, had already rushed to Jue-Ge’s side, wanting to kill him before he could stand firm.

Aow—

In the nick of time, a tiger’s roar was heard, and the sabertooth tiger opened its bloody mouth and exhaled a yellow wave of air.

This wave of area attack came quickly, widely, and fiercely…Feng Bujue was in a horizontal mid-air posture, with no way to avoid it, and had to curl up and brace himself.

As a result, his survival points that had just been rewritten were reduced by several percent.

Moreover, Feng Bujue was involuntarily blown backwards by the push of the air wave, still trapped in an unfavorable horizontal floating posture…

“Well…the two over there have already moved…” Although he was in a dangerous situation, Jue-Ge was still thinking calmly and rationally, and his five senses were constantly collecting information about the surroundings, “…It seems like I saw a dog and smoke just now…that must be Xiao Tan playing some tricks, forcing them to respond.” He shifted his attention to Cao Qin on the side, “As for Eunuch Cao…this old eunuch is really a gentleman…”

Indeed, Cao Qin had stopped acting when he saw the wound on Jue-Ge’s chest.

It was not difficult to see from his previous description of Yuan Qi…at least in terms of “discussing martial arts,” Cao Qin really didn’t like bullying the few with the many.

Therefore, at this moment, he decided to wait and see what happened before making a decision.

“In short…I should only need to deal with Xue Qiangwei alone in a short period of time.” After Feng Bujue looked around, he finally focused his attention on the opponent who was forcing his way to kill him. By the way…his thoughts and considerations only took about 0.3 seconds in total.

“Xue Qiangwei, right? I’ve seen the posts you posted on the forum.” After analyzing the situation, Feng Bujue’s operation began.

Everyone knew…it was inevitable that Jue-Ge would argue with his opponents when fighting, because language was also one of his weapons.

“Oh?” Xue Qiangwei threw five [Electric Net Grenades] at Jue-Ge while asking, “So what?”

“Heh…you have a lot of ideas…” Feng Bujue smiled, “Follow mmm—I ooo—learn eee—do ooo—cook aaa—bah ah ah…”

When he said the first half of the sentence, he instantly activated [Spiritual Consciousness Gathering Technique-Modified], and then kicked a moon step horizontally in mid-air and charged out…

So, when he said the second half of the sentence, he crashed into an electric net grenade that bloomed, and was covered by a spider web-shaped electric net and electrocuted for several seconds.

“He’s already been electrocuted to that extent and he’s still desperately trying to finish his trash talk…” Seeing this scene, Xue Qiangwei couldn’t help but feel a bit of respect.

Of course, she wouldn’t simply be in awe because of Jue-Ge’s perseverance in talking trash.

What Feng Bujue really impressed the other party with was…when he was surrounded by electric net grenades, he instantly understood the situation and decisively implemented the most correct countermeasure—sacrifice the pawn to save the chariot.

Just now…Feng Bujue was surrounded by five opened electric net grenades in a state of losing his body. In this case, if he hesitated and wavered…he would inevitably end up being hit by all five electric nets.

But Jue-Ge…made a straight sprint without hesitation, at the cost of being covered by an electric net…allowing his body to rush out of the encirclement at the fastest speed without making any major movements.

“I have to drink now…” Two seconds later, Feng Bujue finally stood firm about ten meters away from his opponent, took off the layer of electric net that had run out of power, and downed a large bottle of survival value supplement.

Tutu tutu—

Before he could wipe his mouth clean, Xue Qiangwei had already taken out a perfect (growth-type equipment) gun and swept it at him, causing him to roll and scurry around.

“It’s not easy to deal with…” Feng Bujue thought to himself as he ran, “The Mad Poker’s ‘Mad Slaughter’ was indeed used too early…The data shows that this guy has ‘that summoned creature’ as his trump card, and if I rashly attack, I’ll probably have to donate a life…” He glanced at Cao Qin, “Alas…if Eunuch Cao had a thicker skin and besieged me with her, I could use ‘Rampage’ to turn the tables, but unfortunately this guy really doesn’t want to do anything…”

After thinking for a while, Feng Bujue made up his mind, “There’s no other way…I’ll have to call that guy out to help.”

…

Let’s split the story into two parts and not talk about Jue-Ge calling out the Blood Corpse God for now.

Let’s talk about the other side of Sakura Garden…

A minute ago, after Tie Haitang fired the second shot, Feng Xinzi signaled her to get up and move.

The appearance of that “smoke dog”…indicated that Wang Tanzhi was nearby, and he was likely hiding behind a tree trunk or in the canopy.

Although Haitang and Feng Xinzi were two against one, it would be a bit of a death wish for them, two people with only C-level melee specialization, to face an assassin in the smoke…

Therefore, after leaving the initial shooting location, the two bypassed the smoke and quickly headed upwind (since the dog came from upwind, the summoner was likely there as well).

But…just as Haitang and Feng Xinzi were running, suddenly!

Pa—

A gunshot rang out tens of meters in front of them.

Tie Haitang, whose main specializations were shooting and machinery, immediately heard that it was not the sound of a modern firearm, but the sound of a flintlock.

“That’s strange…” Three seconds later, Haitang’s expression changed, and she turned to her teammate and said, “This shot…seems to be fired into the sky…”

“Yes, it was fired into the sky.”

Before Feng Xinzi could answer, another voice responded to Haitang.

In that instant, Li Ruoyu’s figure suddenly appeared ten meters away in front of them.

“How…how could you…” Feng Xinzi exclaimed in horror.

“How could I be here?” Another voice took over her words and walked out from the shadows of the trees, and the person who answered…was Hua Jian, “Heh…anyway, you’ll know when you watch the replay, so it doesn’t matter if I tell you now.”

As they spoke, Xiao Tan also appeared from the direction of the gunshot, and in his hand…he was holding a black flintlock that was still smoking.
