"Eh?"
Jiang He blinked and glanced at the yard opposite him.
Was he imagining things?
Why did he hear a different sound just now? It felt like a bullet piercing his body.
"I must be imagining things. The entire village has moved away. Where would anyone be?"
Shaking his head, Jiang He turned towards Dumbo and Trumbo.
At the moment, Dumbo was crouching behind the Gatling gun and pulling the trigger, while Trumbo had enlarged and stood on its hind legs, holding the bullet chain and feeding it into the machine. The two fellows were having fun, meowing and barking incessantly as bullets flew all over the night sky.
"Stop!"
"I'm just letting you try out the gun. Why so excited?"
There was less than half of the ammo chain left, meaning that there were around four thousand bullets left. In that brief moment, the cat and dog had already used up over six million. Even if they did not burn money that quickly, it did not matter. After all, money was money to Jiang He right now …
It was just a number, and no different from paper.
Dumbo paused reluctantly.
It seemed that it had not had enough fun.
And when it paused, its paw 'accidentally' touched the trigger again —
Ba-chak!
Two bullets streaked through the night sky, leaving orange-red trails as they struck the wall of the neighbor's house.
"What a doggy … eh?"
Jiang He was about to start cursing, but stopped just as he was about to. His aura abruptly burst out, his Dark Golden Combat Armor materializing instantly and his Dragon-Slaying Saber in hand. Looking ahead, he barked, "Who goes there?"
He waited for several seconds.
There was no movement.
Jiang He sneered, saying, "Sneaking around in the middle of the night. If you don't come out, I'll deal with you Sky Demon Cultists."
He took a step forward and walked forward.
After all …
His house was separated by a green belt and a road from the opposite door, which was more than ten meters away. His Ninefold Thunder Blade Secret Manual was only ten meters long, and he had to walk a few steps to reach it.
Meanwhile.
Opposite him.
Behind the wall.
Sixth Elder of the Sky Demon Cult touched his chest again, and finally reacted despite his bewilderment —
What the hell!
He abruptly pulled down the mask of his night suit. On his ferocious face, his eyes turned extremely red.
Many dusty memories flashed through his mind like a movie.
One could only say that Sixth Elder had some dogsh * t luck …
Dumbo was just testing his gun and firing randomly.
Coincidentally, one of the bullets with a one in a thousand chance of "armor-piercing" hit his chest and pierced through his heart … Then, while he was still in a daze, the second bullet with an armor-piercing chance hit him.
This time, the Sixth Elder was lucky. The bullet had only pierced through his abdomen.
In truth, it was also because he had restrained his aura in order to conceal himself that he did not use his true energy to protect himself … Otherwise, it would have been very difficult for the bullet to pierce through him so easily.
Everything was just so coincidental!
"No!"
"No …"
"I, Kun of the Left, have been practicing martial arts since I was a child. I was a famous assassin in the underground world 20 years before the Spiritual Energy Revival. My name shook Southeast Asia. After I entered the Saint Sect, I was recognized by The Lord and became an elder of the Saint Sect. How could I die before I could display my ambition and strength?"
"I, Kun of the Left, will never die in the hands of a dog!"
"Absolutely not!"
He exploded.
Rumble!
His rank-nine aura was as dazzling as the sun and abruptly burst out, collapsing the brick walls around him with a resounding crash!
How powerful was his qi and vigor, a powerful rank-nine martial artist?
Even if his heart was pierced, he would protect his heart veins with abundant true qi at once. As long as he did not burst out and fight, he would not die right away, and living for another twenty to thirty minutes would not be a problem.
And yet …
A pierced heart was a fatal wound. Even if the Holy Faith had sacred medicine that could revive the dead and regrow flesh and bones, where would he have the time to eat it?
Living for another twenty to thirty minutes?
What good would that do!
He would kill Jiang He … no, he would kill that dog!
Even if his outburst would kill him in seconds.
Sixth Elder's eyes were red and blood was trickling out of the corner of his lips. His killing intent was almost solid as it surged towards Dumbo.
At this moment, he could clearly feel his Life Force slipping away. He was afraid that he could only hold on for … five seconds at most. But five seconds was more than enough. How hard could it be to kill a Rank-6 martial artist and a dog?
Whoosh!
Sixth Elder promptly charged his secret technique, combat blade in hand and darted towards Dumbo in the most violent manner possible!
It would not be too late to kill Jiang He after he killed the dog!
Jiang He, who was approaching him with blade in hand, jumped in surprise.
There really was someone else?
And his aura was so frightening?
Was he rank-nine?
But …
Why was all his killing intent and hatred directed at Dumbo and not Sixth Elder?
Yip!
Dumbo was shaking in fright.
What the heck?
I was just testing out Master's great gun. Why does this person look like he wants to skin me alive? Its dog paw had just moved away from the gatling gun's trigger, and so it pulled back by reflex.
Batter-tat-tat-tat-tat!!!
Tongues of flame shot out, engulfing Sixth Elder and sending sparks flying over his True Qi barrier.
Snikt!
One of the bullets triggered the armor-piercing effect, directly piercing through his True Qi defense and hitting his shoulder blade. But at this time, he had released all his True Qi. After the bullet pierced through the True Qi defense, the remaining power only caused a mist of blood to form on the Sixth Elder's shoulder.
"Die!"
Sixth Elder was even more furious!
Why did I have to be so cautious?
He should have unleashed his full power upon noticing Jiang He and killed him instantly before retreating. Would the bullet have pierced his heart if that was the case?
Even so, there was no medicine for regret.
Raising his combat blade high above, Sixth Elder swung it down. Blade Qi streaked through the night sky, and a slash imbued with frightening blade will shot towards Dumbo's head.
Though it appeared to be a long time, it was less than a second between Sixth Elder's burst of power and Jiang He's change of thought. Seeing that the mysterious elite was charging towards Dumbo, Jiang He burst out as well!
True Qi surged, and the silhouette of two great suns arose behind him.
"Stop!"
He roared in rage and swung his blade, intent on stopping that slash.
Even so …
Jiang He, who had not eaten the pepper, was at most a fraction stronger than a rank-seven pinnacle …
The thunder slash was cut apart with a single slash.
The frightening blade will then cut down on Dumbo's head.
Having cut Dumbo down with a single slash, Sixth Elder promptly turned and laughed maniacally, "Haha! Your dog is dead, Jiang He. Now, it's your turn!"
With those words, he promptly attacked, slashing out with another slash imbued with frightening blade will.
His five seconds of life were not to be wasted.
"So powerful!"
Jiang He could not help exclaiming inwardly.
That slash was too powerful, too fast, and the blade will had locked onto his aura so that he could not evade. All he could do was exclaim inwardly in awe before the frightening slash landed on his body.
Pow!
Jiang He was sent flying dozens of meters away, crashing through the walls of a neighbor's house and toppling it.
Beneath the rubble, Jiang He breathed a sigh of relief.
It was fortunate that he had put on his Dark Golden Combat Armor ahead of time. Even so, that slash …
"That slash is so frightening. I'm coughing blood even with my Dark Golden Combat Armor."
Jiang He's True Qi stirred, but just as he was about to shake off the rubble on his body, he heard another maniacal laughter —
"Hahahaha!"
"Saint, Kun of the Left can no longer follow you to fulfill the great vow of the Holy Faith!"
"I have no regrets even if I die!"
"All for the Holy Faith!"
The voices were cut off abruptly.
Kaboom.
Jiang He shook off the rubble and walked out, growling, "Sky Demon Cultists?"
"You're not dead? Impossible, impossible …"
Sixth Elder's eyes widened just as he was about to draw his last breath, and then …
His life force vanished.
Jiang He shuddered.
That gaze …
It was terrifying.
Moreover, it was a little familiar, since he had seen it in the Tranquil Heavenly General's eyes before.
It was the gaze of someone who died with everlasting regret!
