Chapter 105: Chapter 105: Battle of Life and Death
Suddenly, gunshots rang out in rapid succession like popping corn.
However, everyone felt as if their vision blurred, and in the blink of an eye, they completely lost its trace.
"Quick, in the trees," Chen Shouyi imdiately reminded, his expression grave.
The speed of this monster from another world was astonishing. If Chen Shouyi hadn’t been watching it closely, he wouldn’t have caught it.
As the barrels pointed towards the large tree, they found it had already agilely jumped to another tree.
This community was a high-end one, with good landscaping; trees were everywhere, casting vibrant green shadows. It kept leaping and climbing, and in re breaths, it had approached the crowd.
Its tusks slightly exposed, its face ferocious, staring dead at them.
Clearly, it was quite vengeful, not planning to flee but intending to kill those who attacked it.
At this ti, a special police officer, either inexperienced or overly tense, suddenly threw a stun grenade, which produced a shocking bang and blinding flash as it hit the ground.
Chen Shouyi’s eyes were briefly dazzled, his ears ringing loudly.
His expression changed drastically, thinking to himself that this was not good.
By the ti his vision cleared again, he had already lost sight of the strange creature.
Suddenly, a scream of "Ah" pierced through the air.
Chen Shouyi quickly looked towards the sound, seeing a sniper perched on a wall, his neck ripped halfway through, the horrifying wound exposing a bloody spine.
Ten ters from the corpse, a blurred figure was rapidly crawling and running towards another special police officer, who hadn’t reacted yet. Its sharp claws struck like lightning.
The officer’s chest was instantly torn apart, his body flung into the air.
Taking advantage of its slight pause, Chen Shouyi quickly drew an arrow and shot, only for it to casually dodge as its body slightly turned.
Its head slightly turned, giving Chen Shouyi a glance.
That venomous gaze sent chills down Chen Shouyi’s spine.
He knew he was also targeted.
Though it seed a long story, only 0.5 seconds passed from the first scream to Chen Shouyi’s shot, until the special police finally reacted.
"On the wall, quickly shoot!"
Then, the dense gunfire rang out again, but it was useless; normal people’s reaction speed was simply too slow, while this monster was extrely cunning, clearly understanding the role of firearms. As soon as the guns aid here, it swiftly jumped down from the wall, disappearing from sight.
A fearful atmosphere began to perate; everyone was breathing heavily, their expressions solemn. So young special police officers shook their gun barrels.
Chen Shouyi’s expression was serious.
Damn, knowing earlier, he should’ve left this place of trouble when the mission was canceled; what’s the point of sticking around?
Now, he couldn’t bring himself to leave.
Seeing lives fall one by one, he couldn’t make the decision to turn and walk away in his heart.
The director was sweating profusely in anxiety, pacing like an ant in a hot pot, murmuring to himself.
"There’s no ti, there’s no ti; sothing big is going to happen!"
Wei Xiang’s face was equally serious, drawing a giant weapon resembling both a sword and a knife nearly 1.5 ters in length. He slowly approached Chen Shouyi and said in a deep voice, "Nice shot; when the ti cos, I’ll be the main attack, you distract it."
Hearing this, Chen Shouyi glanced at the other party’s body like a small giant. A martial artist of this build clearly had great strength but would undoubtedly lack agility. With a watchful eye on the front, he asked skeptically, "This can kill people; this is no joke; can you handle it?"
Wei Xiang looked at the special police still in combat nearby and said calmly, "I don’t know, but I’ll give you, a new martial artist, so advice: sotis people can’t escape. Combat between life and death! Isn’t that why martial artists exist?"
Chen Shouyi couldn’t help but feel respectful upon hearing this; any slight grudges towards the other’s attitude dissipated completely.
He knew he absolutely couldn’t achieve such things; just a mont ago, he regretted not leaving promptly.
At this mont, screams rang out again. In a corner, a special police officer’s skull was directly ripped open by claws and fell to the ground.
Chen Shouyi imdiately fired another arrow, but still missed; his archery was far inferior to his swordsmanship, especially against fast-moving targets, likely worse than most martial artists.
"Lao Huang, let them retreat; there’s no point for more casualties, let
handle it," Wei Xiang said solemnly.
Director Huang nodded gravely; at this point, he had no choice but to treat a dead horse as if it were alive. He hoped General Manager Cui would arrive soon. If this monster escaped the community, it would undoubtedly be a huge disaster, and countless casualties might follow.
With this thought, he imdiately ordered loudly, "Retreat, everyone retreat twenty ters."
Upon hearing Director Huang’s order, apart from a few snipers in the distance, all nearby special police officers quickly retreated.
While Wei Xiang, holding the giant blade, stepped inside.
Chen Shouyi’s face turned solemn, imdiately taking out an arrow and drawing the bow, preparing to cover; although they might have had so friction with each other, they were on the sa side against creatures from another world.
Just as he arrived at the entrance, a figure suddenly lunged at Wei Xiang.
Prepared, he shouted, and with a flash of thunder, swung his huge blade at the incoming blurred figure, feeling it swing through air, with no resistance. He advanced instead of retreating, slashing again in a sweeping motion, but once again sliced through air.
The monster swiftly withdrew a few ters, a mocking smile on its lips, circling continuously, and then lunged like a phantom once more.
Both moved incredibly fast, fighting for a dozen rounds; Wei Xiang had already sustained two more wounds, blood continuously dripping from his injuries, with the most severe at the abdon, cutting a one or two-centiter-deep gash, nearly slicing open his entire abdon.
"Damn!"
His heart sank; as soon as his mind wandered, he lost sight of the opponent, realizing sothing was wrong, an intense gust struck from behind his head.
"It’s over!"
He thought, the next mont, "Whoosh," an arrow brushed past his rear skull, even his scalp felt hot, his ears buzzed violently.
At the sa ti, a figure instantly appeared.
"Cover !"
The voice was still echoing in his ears as he saw two figures engaged in combat in the distance.
A person and a monster were fighting furiously, the shockwaves of their battle causing surrounding winds to whip up.
He was stunned, but only for a mont before quickly regaining his senses.
"Damn, new martial artists are so freakish now!"
He hurried a few steps forward, picking up the war bow Chen Shouyi had dropped. The bow was light for him, but at this mont fetching his own bow would take too long, so he grabbed a few arrows, sticking them in his pant pocket.
Plucking one, he drew the bow to aim; the arrowhead swayed back and forth, up and down, but he couldn’t shoot it out.
...
At this mont, Chen Shouyi felt enormous pressure.
After dozens of rounds, his sword hadn’t even touched a hair on the opponent.
It was extrely sensitive to danger, its reaction capability completely doubled his.
Speed was swift, movents were fast like lightning, smooth and fluid, with no hesitation or delay.
If it weren’t for its short stature, lack of weapons, and exhibits no combat skills, all due to instinct, bare-handed combat wouldn’t last half a second.
But even so, Chen Shouyi felt as if he were a small boat at risk of being capsized at any mont, constantly in danger.
Cold sweat trickled down his face, his breath growing more rapid.
Just then, Wei Xiang finally aid for ages and shot out an arrow.
Wei Xiang’s archery far surpassed Chen Shouyi’s by miles.
Especially as the monster split its focus to battle Chen Shouyi, it only sensed danger in ti to dodge a fatal chest shot, the arrow swiftly piercing its shoulder. The next mont, its movents inevitably stiffened.
"Good chance!"
Chen Shouyi’s eyes narrowed, exerting force with his feet, leaping six or seven ters away, body still airborne as the sword slashed through the air, an invisible blade of energy flashed past.
The monster let out an ear-piercing scream, swiftly retreating but suddenly paused, standing still on the spot.
A thin blood line slowly seeped from its forehead; the body swayed, and in the next mont, collapsed to the ground.
