Ch 48: Black Eat Black
As they moved away from the small city, the surroundings became increasingly desolate. Seeing the black mist billowing at the edge of his vision and the distorted world in the distance… Qin Jin-Nian was somewhat unaccustomed to it.
What exactly is this so-called ‘fragment of the dark side world’?
He wondered.
The five disciples had been following the lone wanderer from a distance, they were obviously very experienced in this, and they didn’t bunch together, but moved separately. And because they were wearing black, in this somewhat desolate world, if one didn’t observe carefully, it would be difficult to discover them.
Of course, they also didn’t discover Qin Jin-Nian, who was following them about a hundred meters behind… although they were vigilant enough, someone would occasionally turn their head to glance back during the tracking process.
But darkness became Qin Jin-Nian’s best cover… who told him his superpower was shadow control?
As long as he covered himself with the pitch-black shadow, let alone a hundred meters… ten or twenty meters, if you didn’t look carefully, it would be difficult to see his figure. Although it wasn’t completely invisible, it was just as useful.
After walking for about half an hour, they could no longer see anyone else. Qin Jin-Nian saw that the person wearing the Faceless Man mask put down a bag on his shoulder and then squatted on the ground, not knowing what he was doing.
After watching with curiosity for a while, he found that the other party suddenly had a long object in his hand…
And then he understood…
This guy was assembling a firearm.
Was he going to make a move?
Qin Jin-Nian’s eyes narrowed. He saw that the people who were originally scattered had all taken out their weapons…
Almost all of them were guns.
In fact, at the stage of low-level super martial artists, firearms were more sought after than cold weapons.
After all, range is the truth.
Beyond ten steps, the gun is fast.
Within ten steps, the gun is accurate and fast…
That’s just the way it is.
But when the cultivation reaches a certain level, hot weapons will gradually be eliminated… nothing else, as the cultivation becomes deeper and deeper, the strength of the human body also becomes stronger and stronger, later, let alone firearms, even shells, will not have much lethality to super martial artists.
And to deal with weird creatures, firearms are even more helpless…
Some weird creatures have strong bodies and ignore firearms. Some simply don’t have a physical form… then naturally, they don’t have to be afraid.
Of course, this refers to ordinary firearms and ordinary people.
Bullets made of special materials… or super-powered individuals with the ability to empower bullets… are not included in this list.
At this moment, the ‘five disciples’ had all taken out their weapons, and the person wearing the Faceless Man mask was already squatting on the spot, setting up the gun.
Qin Jin-Nian’s eyes flashed, and then his figure quietly moved forward, approaching behind the five people…
At a certain moment…
Boom!!!
A roar, and flames erupted from the firearm in the Faceless Man’s hand.
The lone black-faced man, about three hundred meters away, suddenly had his head explode with a bang, spewing out a large amount of blood. He didn’t even have a chance to groan, and he immediately fell to the ground.
“Success!”
The Faceless Man’s eyes immediately lit up, and he seemed to have no psychological burden at all about the fact that one shot had taken the life of a stranger.
This made Qin Jin-Nian, who had just approached them about fifty meters behind, stunned for a moment, and then looked at the black-masked man in the distance.
He was silent for a moment, and then quickened his pace a little.
“I didn’t expect it to be so easy… go, get the stuff and get out…”
The Faceless Man said in a low voice, somewhat excitedly.
The other four were also very excited and nodded, then they all stood up and planned to quickly go over and take the ‘goods’ and run away… they had done this kind of thing many times, and they knew that if they were late, something would happen.
Just about to move.
The Faceless Man quickly put away the firearm, and didn’t disassemble it, he wanted to go over and get the ‘goods’ first.
But at this moment…
“Ah!!”
A shrill scream suddenly exploded in his ears.
◈◈◈
But the scream lasted for a moment and then stopped abruptly, and then, there was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
The Faceless Man only froze for a moment, and then the hairs on the back of his neck suddenly stood up.
He had been doing this kind of black market black gun business more than once or twice, and he knew too well what he and the others had encountered.
Damn, they were actually being black eaten by black?!
He was shocked, but didn’t turn his head around immediately, but instead, his figure darted forward, and at the same time, he shouted: “Enem… “
‘y’ hadn’t come out yet.
He heard three more shrill screams echoing, but these screams also stopped as soon as they sounded.
He was horrified and turned his head abruptly, and then, he saw an unbelievable scene…
Behind him, his four companions had all lost their heads.
A mass of pitch-black unknown object, transformed into the appearance of tentacles, wrapped around the bodies of his four companions. The tips were thorns, piercing through their chests. However, there was another black tentacle, which was a blade, dancing around them…
He almost instantly imagined the scene just now…
There was something pitch-black that attacked from the darkness without warning, instantly wrapping around and piercing the chests of his four companions. Then, when they subconsciously screamed, the second pitch-black tentacle, transformed into a blade, mercilessly, chopped off their heads…
Looking at the four chests spewing blood, the face under the Faceless Man’s mask was already completely pale…
It wasn’t that he was frightened by the terrifying scene in front of him.
But because he realized what kind of person had attacked them.
“Super, super-powered individual…”
He trembled all over, and the excitement he had just felt turned into a bone-chilling cold at this moment.
What made him feel even colder was that he finally realized… that on his own body, there were also icy, pitch-black things, wrapping around… his legs, his hands, his torso, and even his head…
And he didn’t even know when these things had appeared!
“Wait, wait!…”
He almost instantly threw away the gun in his hand, raised his hands high, and shouted loudly: “I don’t want the goods anymore, I have money, I’ll buy my life!”
A touch of icy coldness appeared on his neck. He stiffened all over, turned his head slightly, and then, the fear in his eyes seemed to be about to overflow…
Because on his neck, he didn’t know when, a sharp pitch-black blade had appeared…
It was very likely that if he hadn’t made the immediate decision to buy his life, then now, his head, just like his companions, would be rolling happily on the ground…
The air seemed to stagnate, and the Faceless Man was trembling all over, feeling that his legs were no longer his own…
He had also experienced life-and-death struggles, but a scene like today’s was the first time!
Even now, he still hadn’t seen where the enemy was!
Time seemed to pass incredibly slowly at this moment, a second was like a century. Just as the Faceless Man was drenched in sweat, a change finally occurred in the scene…
The pitch-black things wrapped around the corpses of the few people slowly retracted into the darkness, looking like living things.
But the Faceless Man didn’t feel at ease at all… because the pitch-black things on his body were still there.
“How much money are you planning to pay for your life?”
A cold voice appeared, but the Faceless Man still didn’t see where the other party was.
His forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he knew that he had encountered a big shot that he couldn’t provoke at all.
I’m afraid that among the super-powered individuals, he belongs to the extremely strong ones!
He judged in his heart, but his mouth was decisive, and he didn’t look left or right trying to find the person speaking, he looked straight ahead, and shouted loudly: “Ten million! I’ll buy my life with ten million!”
Ten million, his heart was bleeding.
But after realizing that the other party was a super-powered big shot, he knew that this money couldn’t be saved…
Super-powered individuals, would they look down on a few million?
The scene suddenly fell silent, and the Faceless Man’s heart was trembling, like a prisoner waiting for sentencing…
