But a few seconds later, gunshots came from only one source.
Ji Xinghuo used Flash Step to return to the entrance of the hall, his electromagnetic rifle firing, the muzzle spinning in a circle, the heads of those hiding in the shadows burst open one by one.
He deliberately showed himself as bait to lure out the backbone of the gang.
A round of shooting, the Dark Tide Gang was almost completely wiped out.
Ji Xinghuo suddenly turned around, swinging his left hand with a blade, Lei Chi’s lightning flashed and disappeared in the darkness.
Two halves of a body appeared out of thin air, the opponent’s arm ejecting a slender sharp blade, his eyes filled with disbelief.
This was a Super Shadow Blade, the side of his head embedded with silver metallic pieces, those were Intelligent Chips, activated to drastically increase neural response and movement speed, combined with his own Shadow Escape Ability, thought to be undetectable, historically using this trick to assassinate over a hundred enemies, never failing.
However, he failed tonight.
This was the first time in his life he had failed, and it was also the last.
Amidst the roar, a tall and burly figure burst through the wall, like a high-speed train, crazily charging at Ji Xinghuo.
He was the "General", named Gonsaz, the boss of the Dark Tide Gang.
Gonsaz was two meters and twenty centimeters tall, his muscles grew in width, his legs thick like columns, resembling a small giant.
In Ji Xinghuo’s magnetic field perception, his blood seemed like metallic fluid, all his bones replaced with alloy, with an electric motor implanted in his chest cavity, connected to the brain’s Intelligent Chip, under the chip’s control, his strength and speed reached the limits of this flesh!
He was originally a Giant General, extremely strong, driven by the electromechanical, his strength was terrifying, and his speed and explosive power reached another level.
At this moment, Gonsaz entered a state of frenzy, his eyes bloodshot, adrenaline burst furiously.
With every step he took, the floor trembled.
His weapon was a Heavy Hammer, the hammerhead equipped with an engine, glowing brightly, immensely heavy, smashing towards Ji Xinghuo’s head.
Ji Xinghuo’s electromagnetic rifle fired at Gonsaz’s body, a Shield opened up, deflecting the bullets.
Gonsaz was completely unharmed.
The Intelligent Chip boosted his speed to the extreme, reaching Ji Xinghuo’s face in the span of a breath, matching the speed of Flying Steps.
The Heavy Hammer hit the ground, creating a large crater.
Gonsaz’s Perception was very strong, he instantly detected Ji Xinghuo’s position, turning his head while his eyes emitted red, two laser beams sweeping past.
The lasers were like blades, cutting through everything in their path, leaving a searing red line on the wall.
But they didn’t sweep over Ji Xinghuo.
He had once again used Flash Step to move to another direction, Gonsaz stopped firing his Laser Eyes, hard charging against the bullets of the electromagnetic rifle, rushing towards Ji Xinghuo.
The bullets in the electromagnetic rifle quickly ran out.
Ji Xinghuo stood still, discarding the electromagnetic rifle in his hands.
Gonsaz’s eyes flashed with a cruel light, his arm muscles bulged, the Power Hammer flaring with flames, he swung with all his strength.
Simultaneously, Ji Xinghuo reached into his coat at his waist, and when he drew his hand out, he was holding an "Iron Hammer".
The muzzle aimed at Gonsaz’s heart.
At this moment, the two were less than three meters apart, Gonsaz’s brow flickered, his body’s repulsive field could block the bullets from the electromagnetic rifle, but could not stop the bombardment from the Iron Hammer. His eyes glimmered, the Intelligent Chip operating to its limit, the whole world seemed to slow down, his large burly body swaying left and right at a high frequency, creating a blur that was hard to lock onto.
The high-frequency directional changes caused huge stress on the body.
Gonsaz felt his half-mechanical body nearing overload, pain transmitting all over, veins on his skin bursting open.
Yet, Ji Xinghuo’s muzzle didn’t move at all, he slightly adjusted it downward, calmly pulling the trigger.
The Iron Hammer’s muzzle jerked up slightly, but instantly corrected itself, firing again, launching a second High Explosive Bomb.
Two gunshots in succession, hitting Gonsaz’s left and right knees respectively.
The high explosive bomb penetrated the shield, and the towering figure immediately fell, losing balance and uncontrollably rolling forward, crashing heavily against the wall.
Ji Xinghuo said disdainfully.
"Ah..." Gonsaz screamed loudly.
His legs were gone below the joints, blood gushing out, but he immediately clenched his teeth, rolled over to sit up, and glared at Ji Xinghuo with bloodshot eyes.
Ji Xinghuo was walking towards Gonsaz, casually firing another shot.
Gonsaz’s right arm exploded into a mess of flesh, leaving only three limbs, the immense pain preventing him from concentrating, his laser eye immediately disrupted.
A bolt of lightning struck, hitting the intelligent chip on the side of Gonsaz’s head, destroying his support system.
Such intelligent chips could resist electromagnetic pulses but could not withstand a direct strike of lightning.
Gonsaz’s eyes rolled back in extreme pain.
The intelligent chip, deeply embedded in his brain and nearly fused with it, abruptly destroyed, his brain also suffered some damage, and the mechanical structures implanted in his body became uncontrollable, rendering him completely paralyzed.
Only a Super Mutant could endure such severe injuries; otherwise, he would have died long ago.
Ji Xinghuo stood in front of him.
Leaning against the wall and panting heavily, Gonsaz struggled to speak, but he spoke in Castilian, which Ji Xinghuo couldn’t understand.
Ji Xinghuo reached into his pocket, took out smart glasses from the Dimension Stomach, and put them on; the translation function automatically activated.
"Who’s the bastard that hired you?" Gonsaz asked fiercely, "Spare my life today, and I’m willing to pay you ten times the price."
Ji Xinghuo was intrigued, "How much is your life worth?"
"Forget it." Ji Xinghuo shook his head, not wanting the hassle of transferring funds from Immortal City back home, as he was on a mission and preferred not to complicate matters.
Seeing Ji Xinghuo’s refusal, Gonsaz, thinking Ji Xinghuo was about to strike, shouted, "There’s cash and True Dragon Coins in my safe, you can take them all. And my collection of treasures, they’re all yours, just don’t kill me. I’ll tell you the combination right now."
Ji Xinghuo looked towards the safe.
But he didn’t continue on that topic, instead saying, "I ask, you answer."
Gonsaz nodded with difficulty.
Ji Xinghuo lightly tapped on his glasses, projecting a photo of Shen Yucheng, of course after his disguise, and asked, "The person you met two days ago, what did he talk to you about? Where is he now?"
Gonsaz was stunned for a few seconds.
It was then he realized that the person before him was not an assassin but had another agenda, "You’re here for him?"
Gonsaz, furious, couldn’t help shouting, "Just for some information, you’ve killed so many of my men, why didn’t you just come and ask directly?"
"Would you have answered honestly if I hadn’t acted?" Ji Xinghuo scoffed.
This Gonsaz was just posturing. The Dark Tide Gang was tyrannical in this district, committing countless atrocities, with powerful backers, and no stranger who came asking questions would be cooperated with straightforwardly. How would Gonsaz retain his reputation in Immortal City then?
Ji Xinghuo’s gun was pointed at Gonsaz’s head.
"I don’t know the man’s name, nor his whereabouts, but he was introduced by ’Black Dream’ Ailuo Lin." Gonsaz spilled the beans, "Ailuo Lin is a well-known middleman in Saint Feibo District. I agreed to meet him because of her. That day he came to me, gave me one million US dollars, and hired me to connect him with executives of the Giant Consortium. I took the money but didn’t plan to help him."
"Why not help him?" Ji Xinghuo asked.
"The money wasn’t enough." Gonsaz answered contemptuously, "One million dollars to hire me? My standards aren’t that low."
Ji Xinghuo nodded, "Any last words?"
"You motherf..." Gonsaz cursed loudly.
Ji Xinghuo fired a shot that burst Gonsaz’s head open, a mixture of red and white splattering against the wall like a blossoming peony.
