“Bang!”
The bullet shot towards the Hanged Ghost.
At this moment, the Hanged Ghost was mid-air, launching an attack on Ye Qiu. When the sound of the bullet whizzing through the air reached his ears, he didn’t hesitate for even a second. He immediately abandoned his attack on Ye Qiu, retreating and landing on the ground.
“Big brother, be careful!” The voice of the Starving Ghost rang out nearby.
The Hanged Ghost turned his head and saw the bullet tracing an arc in the air, following the path he had just retreated along. It was now less than half a meter away from him.
Not good!
The Hanged Ghost’s expression changed drastically. He shifted his feet and dodged to the side.
But something bizarre happened again.
The bullet continued to chase the Hanged Ghost, and its speed increased, as if it wouldn’t stop until it hit its target.
“What the hell kind of bullet is this?” The Hanged Ghost was so shocked that cold sweat broke out all over his body.
“Big brother, move aside, I’ll help you!” The Starving Ghost shouted, rushing forward and smashing the bullet with a bone.
Boom!
The bullet suddenly exploded, its power no less than that of a grenade.
The Starving Ghost was blown several meters away, his massive body crashing to the ground with a thunderous noise.
“Little brother!” The Hanged Ghost’s face turned pale.
In the car.
Tang Fei finally let out a sigh of relief. Although he hadn’t managed to kill the Hanged Ghost, he had severely injured the Starving Ghost, which was still a gain.
“Old Tang, what kind of gun is that? How does the bullet keep chasing its target?” Long Ye asked in shock.
Tang Fei grinned. “Didn’t I tell you earlier? This is the latest secret weapon developed by our Underworld Palace. Pretty impressive, huh?”
Long Ye nodded. “Very impressive!”
Tang Fei explained, “This sniper rifle is custom-made from top to bottom, especially the bullets. We put in a tremendous amount of effort to develop them.”
“Don’t let the bullet’s size fool you—it’s only as big as a soybean. Inside, it’s equipped with a specially designed nano-bomb and a radar system. Once the bullet locks onto a target, it will keep chasing it.”
“Of course, a bullet is still just a bullet. It doesn’t have a mind of its own, so it will explode upon contact with any object.”
“Even so, it’s still terrifying,” Long Ye said. “If you had brought this weapon out earlier, you might have already taken out all three of them.”
“This gun is powerful, but it has one drawback,” Tang Fei said.
“What drawback?”
“It only has three bullets.”
“What?” Long Ye’s expression changed. “Only three bullets? Old Tang, are you joking?”
“Do I look like I’m joking?” Tang Fei said solemnly. “As I said earlier, this is the latest secret weapon developed by the Underworld Palace. There’s only one of its kind in the entire palace, and we spent a huge amount of resources and effort to develop just three bullets.”
“I’ve already fired one bullet, so now there are only two left.”
“With two bullets, it’s unrealistic to take out all three of them.”
Long Ye said, “That’s fine. As long as we take out the Hanged Ghost and the Starving Ghost, Ye Qiu won’t be under as much pressure.”
“Yeah, luckily we’ve already severely injured the Starving Ghost. The next two bullets should be enough to take out the Hanged Ghost…” Before Tang Fei could finish speaking, his expression suddenly stiffened, and he exclaimed, “How is this possible?”
Long Ye looked outside and saw the Starving Ghost climbing to his feet, dusting himself off, and jumping around as if nothing had happened.
“Damn it, the bullet exploded, and he’s still alive?”
Long Ye was also shocked. The Starving Ghost had a few wounds on his body, but they were all minor, just superficial injuries. “Old Tang, your Underworld Palace’s secret weapon isn’t all that great.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. It’s not that my gun isn’t good—it’s that the enemy is too strong.”
“What do we do now?” Long Ye asked.
“We’ll just have to wait for another opportunity to shoot,” Tang Fei said.
After the Starving Ghost got up, he stared at the jeep and said to the Hanged Ghost, “Big brother, those two guys are getting in the way. I think we should take them out first to stop them from shooting at us from behind.”
“I agree,” the Hanged Ghost said, then turned to Cold Blood. “What do you think?”
Cold Blood said, “I agree as well.”
“Good,” the Hanged Ghost said to Cold Blood. “My brother and I will go kill those two. You go after Ye Qiu.”
Cold Blood replied, “The three of us shouldn’t split up. We need to attack together to ensure we can all retreat safely.”
“Why should we listen to you?” the Starving Ghost said, somewhat displeased.
Cold Blood’s icy gaze swept over, and the Starving Ghost shrank back in fear.
“Listen to him,” the Hanged Ghost said. After exchanging a glance with the Starving Ghost, the two of them immediately charged toward the jeep.
Bang!
Tang Fei fired without hesitation.
The bullet whistled through the air, heading straight for the Hanged Ghost.
“Move!” Cold Blood’s voice rang out in the Hanged Ghost’s ear. Then, the Hanged Ghost saw a small stone fly out from Cold Blood’s hand and collide with the bullet.
Boom!
The bullet exploded instantly.
The Hanged Ghost laughed. “So that’s how you stop the bullet. Cold Blood, why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
“Enough talk. Kill them,” Cold Blood said, his face as cold as ice.
The Hanged Ghost and the Starving Ghost charged toward Tang Fei again.
Ye Qiu quickly dodged, blocking the path of the two ghosts.
“Since you’re so eager to die, we’ll grant your wish,” the Hanged Ghost said, swinging his iron rod at Ye Qiu.
The Starving Ghost’s bone had been shattered earlier, so he pulled out two cleavers from his waist and lunged at Ye Qiu.
Now that they knew how to stop Tang Fei’s bullets, they were no longer afraid of being shot at from behind.
Cold Blood, meanwhile, waited for an opportunity to strike at Ye Qiu.
The battle returned to the previous three-against-one situation.
The three of them used their respective skills to surround Ye Qiu, not giving him any chance to catch his breath.
Facing the combined assault of three experts, Ye Qiu was in constant danger. Soon, Cold Blood managed to stab him twice with his sword.
Cold Blood was the world’s number one assassin, skilled in assassination techniques. His fast sword strikes were terrifying and nearly impossible to defend against.
“I have to change the current situation. If this keeps up, this place will become my grave.”
“And there’s only one way to change the situation—take out one of them first.”
“But who should I target first?”
Ye Qiu quickly made up his mind.
The Hanged Ghost!
Although this guy had great strength, his speed wasn’t great. The chances of taking him out in one strike were the highest.
With this in mind, Ye Qiu immediately used an invisibility spell.
“Whoosh!”
His figure suddenly vanished from where he stood. At the same time, a sword’s whistle, like the roar of a dragon, rang out. The Emperor Sword appeared right in front of the Hanged Ghost’s throat.
Ye Qiu could even see the Hanged Ghost’s pupils contract in fear, his face filled with shock.
At that moment, Cold Blood’s sword suddenly arrived, slamming into the Emperor Sword and knocking it off course.
The Emperor Sword landed on the Hanged Ghost’s shoulder.
“Thud!”
The Hanged Ghost’s left arm was severed at the shoulder, and he let out a howl of pain. “Ah…”
Just as Ye Qiu was about to strike again and finish off the Hanged Ghost, the Starving Ghost suddenly kicked out, hitting Ye Qiu in the ribs.
