Chapter 624: Relic’s Sword
Translator: Liu_Kaixuan Editor: Valvrave
At the Sword Club’s headquarters, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ and Tsukuyomi stood about 20 meters apart, looking at each other. Jiang Lius.h.i.+ held his sniper rifle, and he had already infused his blue energy with its bullets. After continuously absorbing five level-2 mutant nuclei, his combat power had been improved greatly. It was no doubt that Jiang Lius.h.i.+’s shooting power would be more and more powerful.
“Oh, your sniper rifle! Good! I’ve heard from Shen Kui that your bullets’ speed was extremely high with terrible penetrating power,” said Tsukuyomi, smilingly.
“Well, hearing about it won’t change the situation. Even if you can sense dangers in advance, you won’t be able to dodge my bullets! You can give it a try,” said Jiang Lius.h.i.+, simultaneously pulling the trigger.
A deadly blue light crossed the sky. No one reacted at all. Jiang Lius.h.i.+’s blabbering was to catch Tsukuyomi off guard. In this kind of life-and-death confrontation, of course, unscrupulous divisive tactics should be used.
The armor-piercing projectile’s speed was close to twenty times the speed of sound, coupled with the blue light energy, it was irresistible.
Tsukuyomi acted almost at the same time when Jiang Lius.h.i.+ pulled the trigger. However, he didn’t dodge. Instead, he pulled out his long sword.
A metallic sound came from the long sword, and in the next instant its shape changed; from its ridged section a lot of metal pieces were extended, forming a s.h.i.+eld.
The armor-piercing projectile shot on this s.h.i.+eld without slowing down. The strong impact sent Tsukuyomi’s body backward, while his feet left deep drag marks on the ground.
Tsukuyomi had actually blocked Jiang Lius.h.i.+’s bullet!
“Good! Excellent marksmans.h.i.+p! Hahaha! Even my arm felt the pain.” Tsukuyomi laughed loudly. Then, he looked at the s.h.i.+eld in his hands, revealing an expression of surprise. In the center of the s.h.i.+eld was an eye-catching bullet hole with a completely deformed armor-piercing projectile embedded in it!
“Oh! To think you were able to leave such a bullet hole on my s.h.i.+eld. Incredible and unbelievable! I once used this s.h.i.+eld to block 25mm rounds. No matter how many rounds. .h.i.t my s.h.i.+eld, they had not left even a trace on it. Fortunately, this is made of a shape-memory alloy, so it will recover soon. Otherwise, I’d feel grieved.” Tsukuyomi touched his s.h.i.+eld like caressing a beloved woman.
Jiang Lius.h.i.+ frowned when he saw that. He didn’t expect that the long sword could change forms. The relic’s weapons seemed to be amazing.
“Brother Jiang!” shouted Ran Xiyu.
Jiang Lius.h.i.+ jumped without a second thought. The place where he was previously standing was cut apart by Tsukuyomi’s sudden slash. However, at the same time, 20 meters away from Jiang Lius.h.i.+ was another ‘Tsukuyomi’, caressing his s.h.i.+eld!
‘Illusions again!’ Jiang Lius.h.i.+ sighed. Tsukuyomi appeared and disappeared like a shadow. It was indeed difficult for Jiang Lius.h.i.+ to guess how he would act next. Tsukuyomi’s illusions could even affect their intuitions.
‘It’s terrible…’ Jiang Lius.h.i.+ was worried as he couldn’t keep relying on Ran Xiyu the whole time.
“Oh! You dodged again!” Tsukuyomi smiled. All of a sudden, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ felt that the Tsukuyomi that spoke was not the actual him but a manifestation of energy.
“d.a.m.nit!” shouted Jiang Lius.h.i.+ as he got a foreboding feeling.
Then, he turned his head and looked at the tour bus! Meanwhile, he saw Tsukuyomi’s body appearing in front of the tour bus. He brandished his long sword and cut down at the winds.h.i.+eld! Evidently, Tsukuyomi’s target was Ran Xiyu, who was sitting and observing him carefully behind it. As the person that could see through his illusions, Tsukuyomi, naturally, wanted to kill her first.
Tsukuyomi’s sword landed heavily in the winds.h.i.+eld, and it trembled violently like experiencing a high magnitude earthquake. A part of the tour bus’ front cave in, while spiderweb-like cracks covered the winds.h.i.+eld; however, the attack was not enough to break it.
“Ah!” screamed Ran Xiyu. She felt a hurricane-like force sweeping her body, and the powerful sound waves brought her dizziness. It was hard for her to withstand such a strong impact.
“Sister Xiyu!” Jiang Zhuying held Ran Xiyu immediately. A wave of shock struck Jiang Zhuying as she saw the winds.h.i.+eld’s terrible state. She had personally witnessed the winds.h.i.+eld withstanding the direct explosion of a grenade! However, Tsukuyomi and his weapon had almost destroyed it with a single slas.h.!.+ One could tell how horrifying and invincible he and the weapon were respectively.
Tsukuyomi only needed to slash one more time, and he would enter. Once that happened, the outcome would be beyond tragic.
Unexpectedly, Tsukuyomi didn’t slash again. On the contrary, he jumped backward and protected himself with the s.h.i.+eld.
Tsukuyomi blocked the bullet yet again. But this time, he frowned as the pain from his arms was more intense this time. In the next second, Tsukuyomi vanished into thin air. It was an uncanny trick.
In fact, he had just used his illusion to achieve a kind of invisible effect. Currently, Ran Xiyu was recovering, so Tsukuyomi took the opportunity to hide. As such, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ undoubtedly fell into a perilous situation!
