Warlord Chapter 162 - Fight

It completely violated the Gunner's principle of viewing distance as one's life. The two of them moved at almost the same time, and the moment they pulled out their guns or revolver, they both pointed their guns at each other's heads.

The moment they finished this action, both of them pulled the triggers at the same time. However, his head, which had been moving in different directions, had been hit empty air by the bullet. However, Zero and Lan Qi didn't seem to want to separate yet. Therefore, Zero picked up the military knife on his thigh and stabbed at Lan Qi's stomach. Lan Qi then pulled out the vulture on his back and used his sniper rifle as an iron rod, and ruthlessly swung it at Zero's head.

Finally, he changed his direction and faced upwards, stopping the sniper rifle that was aimed at his head. At the same time, like a magic trick, the M500 pierced through the underarm of Lan Qi's arm which was holding the military knife and aimed at his chest.

Lan Qi jumped up and kicked hard on Zero's shoulder.

Zero could not keep his balance. The moment he fell, he kicked out and sent Lan Qi, who was aiming at him with his Kuang vulture gun, flying.

The two of them landed on the ground at the same time and instantly shot up. Each of them pointed their guns forward, but neither of them was any faster than the other.

The two of them maintained the posture of pointing their fingers at each other's heads and slowly stood up.

Lan Qi suddenly smiled. He didn't move his upper body, but swept a cloud of dust with his feet. Zero immediately rolled to the side and fired in the direction that Lan Qi had gone.

Two gunshots rang out, but at the same time, the crisp sound of a bullet hitting metal resounded. It was clear that no one could hit the target.

The smoke screen seemed to have become an opportunity as Zero's body expanded in size, creating afterimages as he dove behind the metal machine tool. The continuous tapping seemed to follow closely behind him. The jumping starfire indicated the shooting route. Only when Zero hid itself behind the cover did the shooting end.

The ground at Zero's feet was full of gla.s.s fragments that had fallen from the window beside him. He picked up a palm-sized fragment and quickly threw it into the air. As soon as the fragments flew out of the machine tool, they were shot into powder. But in that short moment, Zero could already see Lan Qi's location through the reflection of the gla.s.s. The moment the gla.s.s exploded, Zero shot up from behind the machine and pointed the gun at Lan Qi's position.

Flames flashed in the gloomy building.

After firing the gun, Zero didn't even look at the result and shrank back. Then he heard a series of footsteps heading toward the second floor, and Zero came out of his hiding place and watched as Lan Qi disappeared down the stairs to the second floor.

He crouched down and, under the cover of the obstacles and the angle, trotted toward the stairs in a blind spot that Lankey could not reach. When he reached the foot of the stairs, he saw a small flower of blood on the wall. He touched it with his finger. The blood was still warm, indicating that Lan Qi was injured. It was no wonder that he wanted to go to the second floor. He wanted to buy time to deal with his wounds.

Lan Qi was an outstanding sniper, but Zero was certain that he didn't have the ability to heal as quickly as he did. This meant that Lan Qi's endurance wasn't as good as Zero's. Even if it was the smallest wound, if it was not dealt with in time, in this ever-changing battlefield, there was no guarantee that it would become the last straw that would overwhelm the camel.

Naturally, Zero would not give him the time.

The fifth step, Dexterity, was fully activated. Zero made a crouching motion, and in the next moment, he was already at the stairs. At his current speed, he only needed 1 second to go up the 20 stairs or so. However, when his figure appeared, his eyes saw a grenade being thrown down from the second floor.

Lan Qi was half-crouching on the ground behind the grenade. The muzzle of his vulture was in perfect line with the grenade!

At the moment when the muzzle of the sniper rifle spewed out flames, Zero crossed his hands in front of his head and jumped back at the same time.

The grenade exploded!

The building rumbled as the impact of the explosion shook the entire building. Countless amounts of dust fell from the floors, creating a gray mist in the air on the first floor.

Zero bounced off the impact and fell to the ground. It immediately did a roll to protect itself. With the cover of the smoke, he rolled into a machine tool. Outside, the sound of sniper rifle's gunfire rang out continuously for four times. On the zero-rolling track, four bowl-sized bullet holes appeared in the ground. Although Lan Qi couldn't see zero due to the smoke, with his rich experience he was able to calculate the path of zero evasion almost exactly.

However, the speed of the zero was a sliver faster than he had calculated, making all of Lan Qi's attacks miss.

Blood trickled down his arm, and when it reached his fingertips, it was caught by his tongue and brought to his mouth. He rolled up the sleeves of his battle uniform. Seven pieces were stuck into his arms. If it were not for Zero's timely protective maneuvers, the ones that were injured were not his arms, but his face and chest.

Even so, a piece of flesh still grazed past Zero's left eyebrow. The wound on his forehead dripped blood, obscuring his left eye. Zero simply closed his eyes and removed the right eye patch. After the golden pupil in his right eye had made a few continuous movements of dilation and contraction, Zero had already taken in the surroundings.

Lan Qi's attack could be said to be impromptu. He did not deal with the wounds in time as Zero had predicted, but instead used them to attack his misjudgement. If it wasn't for the fact that Zero's agility enhancement had already reached the fifth step, that explosive grenade would have severely injured him.

Life and death were just a thin line of difference. A single wrong judgement was enough to kill you!

"You're too impulsive, but that's how it is for youngsters …"

Lan Qi's voice rang out from above him. The voices came from far away, from close. It was clear that the other side was constantly moving, making it impossible for Zero to pinpoint his exact position.

Silently, Zero unscrewed Colt and pressed a piece of armor piercing that had been loaded with fire elements into the barrel of the gun.

"A seasoned hunter should be good at calculation. Clearly, you haven't done enough in this area."

Lan Qi was still talking, and Zero knew he was testing his reaction. If Zero couldn't hold it in and made a ruckus, Lan Qi would be in control of his position and would be able to prepare a new round of attacks. The ten-centimeter thick concrete layer formed a natural barrier between him and Zero. Lan Qi was not afraid of Zero locking on to his position and attacking him. Unless it was a missile grade weapon, even a sniper rifle and armor piercing bullet wouldn't be able to penetrate this thick layer of earth. Even so, Lan Qi still continued his campaign of bewitching the enemy. From this, it could be seen how cautious he was.

But Lan Qi had miscalculated two points.

The first was that he had used a handmade Colt instead of an ordinary sniper rifle. Compared to an ordinary sniper rifle, Colt's shooting speed was faster, giving the bullet greater momentum. Even Lange's Raging Eagle was slightly inferior. Secondly, the armor piercing bullet had a fire element attached to it, which would cause the bullet to explode when it hit the target.

With only a rank 1 fire element mastery of zero, the fire element added to the bullet wouldn't be able to compare to a grenade even if it detonated. However, Zero did not need the bullet to wound Lan Qi. It was enough as long as it could create some confusion for him.

So when Lange's voice appeared in Zero's predicted trajectory, he pressed the trigger.

Colt let out a dull roar of rage. From the tongue of flame that was half a meter long, a armor piercing bullet wrapped in a faint red light was launched at the target in an instant!

"Quick, report this to Lord Saurun!"

one of the soldiers called out.

"I'm afraid not."

However, someone said this in the darkness. The soldiers immediately formed a triangular formation, making it impossible for them to see the blind spot, but there was no one in the room. One of the soldiers was smarter. He shouted "head" and raised his gun to the ceiling, but it was too late.

In the helmet with night vision mode, the soldier saw a shadow hanging upside down from a chandelier on the ceiling. The moment he saw the other party, the figure instantly pounced over.

The soldier only had time to see the deadly cold glint of a military knife in his hand. The next moment, this military knife had already stabbed into his mask and into his head. Gunfire and fire erupted in the room at the same time and quickly disappeared. When the lightning struck again outside the window, there were already three corpses in the room.

He stood up and stepped on the soldier's corpse. Then, he bent down and pulled out the saber that had been stabbed into the soldier's face. In his other hand, a large revolver was emitting a faint white smoke. The air was filled with the unique smell of gunpowder that came from the gunfire of the old era.

When another bolt of lightning exploded, he had already disappeared from the room without a trace.
