The gun was fired, but the only part of Sajjad’s script it followed was the sound of a gunshot. The sharpshooter in hiding had completely seen through Sajjad’s scheme, disregarding the handgun that tumbled through the air. Instead, the sharpshooter simply used a curve shot, and the target was Sajjad’s life.

A second gunshot rang in the air, and the tumbling gun fell to Sajjad’s feet. However, he had lost all intentions of picking it up.

The timing of the second shot was seized perfectly. It was hard for Sajjad to make any changes with his movement because he had dodged the first bullet. Now that he knew there was a second shot, he had no chance whatsoever to escape.

After the second gunshot, the trigger of the handgun at Sajjad’s feet had been completely destroyed. All he would be picking up was a scrap of a gun.

“I’m in no hurry. I’ll wait for my main forces to arrive.” Qin Fen’s voice was very calm. “I want you to taste what it feels like to be tortured to death for a moment.”

Suspicion flashed in Sajjad’s eyes. Was the young man telling the truth? Or was he making a threat? Trying to use psychological tactics?

Sajjad didn’t know anything about his opponent, and there weren’t any holes of emotion within Qin Fen’s words. The blood within Sajjad’s body began to throb and boil.

Sajjad was different from other people. He didn’t feel fear, rather, he felt excitement. Perhaps he chose to walk the path of a terrorist because of the possibility of encountering situations such as these—situations that could make him excited. The so-called freedom he talked about was complete nonsense from his perspective. It was used to deceive young people unsatisfied with society and discover youngsters with talent.

Sajjad picked up the handgun on the ground. It should be scrap, but he used his thumb to forcefully pry back the firing pin in the back of the gun.

You think I can’t shoot without a trigger? Kid, you’re looking down on elite terrorists far too much! Sajjad’s lips carried a sinister smile!

Qin Fen was smiling as well. He wanted none other than for Sajjad to pick up the gun. A true opportunity in battle could only appear when both sides aimed at each other! Qin Fen had destroyed the trigger to give Sajjad a little bit more of a disadvantage. If Qin Fen really didn’t want Sajjad to use the gun, Qin Fen would have shot the bullet to completely destroy the gun.

Qin Fen had ample confidence in this regard.

Xue Tian had already entered a battle position by now. The might of the gun within Qin Fen’s hand was far too strong. The terrorists’ attention were all drawn upon him. They feared having their skulls pierced by bullets with one little mistake.

From the very beginning, everyone who died lost their lives from being shot once in the temples. Such a person was clearly extremely confident in his marksmanship. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to strike the temples of the target, especially with curve shots.

Phoenix observed the changes in the clouds of the skies above. Fifteen minutes had passed since Qin Fen entered the large building, and eleven minutes had passed between the first gunshot and now. There was a great jolt from a powerful explosion off in the distance of the building, and this happened nine minutes ago. From nine minutes ago till now, the building was bizarrely silent.

“He’s Qin Zhan’s little brother. He has to be fine.” Phoenix repeated the words she just spoke a dozen seconds ago to calm herself.

Phoenix, who never knew what it meant to be nervous during a mission, held a short-barreled gun in her hands, sweat already appearing on her palms.

Relax, everything will be fine with Qin Fen. He’s the product of Butcher’s and my teachings. Butcher made a few quick signs with his hands not too far away, giving a bit of calm to Phoenix’s fretful and uneasy heart.

————-

A large hole had been created in the ceiling of the building’s fifth floor. Countless debris and dust from tables, mattresses, and stone pillars drifted into the hall of the fifth floor of the building. Fragments of rock occasionally fell from the fifth floor’s ceiling as well.

“Your marksmanship is the most powerful I have ever seen.” Sajjad’s temple was a faint red. His stomach heaved up and down as he watched Qin Fen, his face carrying an abnormal excitement.

Two bullets had been shot, and there had been a high-explosive grenade on the ground. The first bullet launched the grenade to strike the target, while the second bullet pulled the safety of the grenade.

Such an achievement could not be done with merely accurate shots. The marksman needed to make quick calculations in regard to the surrounding environment and the trajectory of the grenade in flight.

However, this was not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing was the third bullet! It hadn’t rushed at the grenade. Instead, Sajjad’s escape route had been predicted. The bullet had flown toward his temple.

The third bullet not only needed a series of calculations, it needed the marksman to have done deep psychological research. This marksman was a high precision killing machine!

Sajjad never thought that such a killing machine could be this young! If he hadn’t been on guard ahead of time, that bullet would have truly pierced through his skull.

“If you still have quite a few bullets left, kid, then I will need to bring out my ultimate move.” Sajjad moved not an inch as he watched Qin Fen. The chaotic battle just now had drawn them away from their teammates. Right now it was a true one versus one. The lack of the viper-like ambusher would allow Sajjad’s movements to not be as handicapped as before.

Ultimate move? Qin Fen stared at the red mark at Sajjad’s temple. He had made this shot as a one hundred percent certain kill, but it actually just left a chafe, a red mark. Clearly, this had something to do with the ultimate move that Sajjad spoke of.

Qin Fen was a bit regretful. Back then, he had been overly cautious in modifying the kinetic energy of the HK45C to be too small. If this wasn’t the case, then the bullet wouldn’t have merely chafed Sajjad. The airflow formed around the bullet would have been enough to put Sajjad in a sorry state.

For an opponent who had yet to break through four-star strength to block a bullet? Qin Fen did not believe that the protective tenacious arts could block this metal bullet, even if the bullet’s power was reduced.

The shooting exchange that occurred amidst an explosion during the first round left Qin Fen with a single bullet. In the current situation of being face-to-face with the opponent, it was impossible for Qin Fen to reload his ammunition.

“It looks like you don’t have the skills to switch ammunition cartridges in front of me, and at the same time, shoot to block my attack.” Sajjad’s smile gradually grew. He had already judged this fight as a life and death struggle.

“So you better make good use of your last bullet!” The sole’s of Sajjad’s feet rubbed against the ground as he slowly moved toward Qin Fen. He didn’t dare jump into the air. He didn’t even dare to have one foot leave the ground. As long as there was one bullet within Qin Fen’s gun, Qin Fen was tantamount to the grim reaper holding the scythe of death within his hands.

What to do? A final one versus one to determine the victor? Or should I retreat and draw him into going on the offensive? And utilize the special experts outside to surround and capture him? 

“I won’t chase after you if you want to retreat,” Sajjad spoke quietly. He didn’t seem to be moving his feet quickly, but his movements weren’t a bit slow at all. He approached Qin Fen at high speed. “I can tell that y’all have come prepared. There should be a hidden net outside, right?”

These words smothered Qin Fen’s thoughts on acting and drawing Sajjad into pursuing and attacking.

One shot to kill? Qin Fen quickly rejected this thought. He still didn’t know what his opponent’s ultimate move was. In this situation, it would likely be very hard to use his last bullet effectively. His certain-kill shot just now would have been effective otherwise.

In this instant, Qin Fen’s eyes burst with an unprecedented cold killing intent. The bullet revolved at high-speeds as it flew out from the barrel of his gun.

The ominous glow in Sajjad’s eyes erupted with radiance. The muscles of his calf expanded and contracted explosively at maximum speed. His body twisted as he flitted across the ground. He was like a snake in the grass that had grown wings.

The bullet arrived upon Sajjad in an instant. If an ordinary person had shot this bullet, Sajjad could have dodged based on the angle and trajectory. However, against Qin Fen, Sajjad didn’t believe that he could just look at the angle to avoid the bullet.

Ultimate move!

Sajjad’s body flared with light, and countless rays of light formed something like a turtle’s shell, protecting his temples. When the bullet bore its way upon the shell’s surface, it was incapable of boring through the protective energy barrier that was like a turtle’s shell.

It was a biochemical beast!

Qin Fen was shocked! He had flipped through quite the volume of information these past few days for the sake of his own biochemical beast. Sajjad actually had a very expensive biochemical beast within his body! And it was at at the materialization fusion stage of the level two fusion!

It was too late to regret the fact that he had lowered the might of the gun far too much during modifications. Qin Fen firmly tossed away the modified HK45C for it had no more bullets left, and he used the Dragon Guard to dodge past the Sajjad who came pouncing upon him.

If Qin Fen had a different gun, it wasn’t guaranteed that a biochemical beast of the second stage—even the turtle beast with super powerful defense power—could block Qin Fen’s bullet.

Qin Fen had regrets in his heart. His arms crossed to block the smashing fist from Sajjad, and his body suddenly jolted as he was pushed back continuously without stopping. Each of his steps caused the floor beneath his feet to shake.

The biochemical beast fusion was far more fierce in reality than in data! They were both four-stars, but Sajjad’s fist was far above the five-star meteor level! If Qin Fen hadn’t gained good habits from his daily spars with experts, giving him a certain ability to fight people above his level, Sajjad’s smashing fist would have broken through Qin Fen’s guard.

Qin Fen’s arm shook with fiery pain, and data pertaining to biochemical beast fusion quickly flashed through Qin Fen’s mind.

The level one fusion is also known as parasitic fusion. This is the very initial state where the biochemical beast lives within the user’s body. It can exist in symbiosis with the human muscle, skin, and even inner organs, strengthening all of the user’s cells and increasing the user’s functions by twofold. And in the situation where the user’s body suffers harm, it is possible for the biochemical beast to slightly repair the body.

The level two fusion was also known as materialization fusion. The cells of the biochemical beast and the cells of the user begin to fuse with each other. Using the level one fusion as the foundation, the user’s functions are increased by twofold once more, and at the same time, the user can perform a basic materialization of the body of the biochemical beast in a state of energy. Such a materialization is sufficient to produce abilities to aid in attack and defense.

The level two fusion strengthened the body’s function by twofold that of the level one fusion? Qin Fen secretly made some calculations in his mind. Didn’t this mean that the four-star Sajjad possessed the strength of an inferior six-star warrior? No wonder the prices for biochemical beast were so terrifyingly expensive!

Sajjad had been pushed to a corner by this young man, who wielded a pistol that might even be able to pierce an ordinary bullet-proof vest. He was pushed so far that even several of his comrades died. He was pushed into using the biochemical beast at the very bottom of his toolkit, so Sajjad explosively went all out in this attack!

Howls after howls of a vicious beast rang out from his body, and he struck out with a fist with every step he took. The blood in his veins surged, the sound akin to the muffled thunder before a storm. The raging winds generated from his fist simply shook clear the floating dust in the air.

Qin Fen’s arm jolted as he forcefully blocked Sajjad’s wild attack. Every step he took back caused the floor to fissure beneath his feet. Fragments of reinforced concrete flew chaotically into the air, as if an enormous metal pile driver hammer was engaging in destruction with the ground.
